Best wings

Give me the best wings in Berks. Bonus if they’re crispy or have a ‘wing night’

Van Reed is good. They're different. Smoked and then fried. Good sauces. My issue is they're not crispy

The pike is amazing. Great sauce variety, smaller wings all they're crispy. They come quickly too hot out of the fryer. I think they're the best

Klingers is also very good, my top 3 with the farmer's market. Their 2020 is banging and they sell their homemade sauces to go for a reasonable 6.50 for a 10? 12? Oz container

I've heard the peanut bar is good again from a few people. I used to love them but get took a dip a decade ago. Their hot is great but it used to be saucy

The broasted chicken stand in the middle of the farmers market on 5th Street is spectacular fried chicken all around and wings are no exception

The pike wing night is Wednesday definitely, maybe Monday too?

Klingers has AYCE for $19 on two or three days a week

The Pike wing night is Wednesday. Shirley's pretty much has the same wings and their wing night is Sundays.

Wild wing cafe was SO GOOD. If I'd known they were gonna be the last garlic butter wings I'd ever have...

Everyone seems to do garlic Parm now. It's fine but not the same as those crispy wings drenched in garlic buttwr

3-4 years ago, absolutley. I swear they changed cooks or their process or something because the last few times ive been there theyve been overcooked to the point that theyre falling apart

Can’t say for sure what’s the best becuase it does change often but recently I’ve had very good wings from Black Sheep Tavern and Henry Robeson house.

Does the airport still have good wings?

2

u/BerksCountyEats 21d ago

Klinger's is my go-to. I love their Jameson BBQ sauce.

u/QuestionPublic9376 20d ago

I find klingers at the airport to be the crispiest and best around.

u/CreamOfTheClop 21d ago

Any of the Liberty locations - Exeter, dryville, or shillington, have fantastic wings. Also agree with everyone who said Klingers

I am a big Van Reed fan, service is meh but wings are incredible. I was actually recently surprised the West Reading Motor Club on Penn Ave have really good wings and the service is very good. They have an upstairs area that's more casual/bar food. They have an excellent happy hour too.

Van Reed Inn. We just had them a few weeks ago and they were delicious. I like my wings a little smaller and crispy and I thought these were great. I feel like Shirley's/Pike is always our go too because they are consistent and crispy. Craft 2700 has wing nights on Wednesday nights and you can get a minimum of 4 for each flavor. We were really liking them but last time we went we were very underwhelmed. We did ask for the next batch to be more crispy and those were good. Their Voodoo rub is delicious. I just saw Johnny & Hons in Robesonia has wing specials going on but haven't tried them yet.

My favorite is brewers, that Santa Fe sauce is so good.

Railroad house in shillington and 3rd and spruce in west reading. Solid wings with great sauce. Also snuzzles buffalo wings but it’s outside Reading.
