Wingcraft Kitchen and Beer Bar

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this place is WAY overrated. The food is average and really over priced. If this is a gastropub then I’m a Supermodel!!! (For the record, I’m not)… Just nothing special about the food or quality of food. They did however, have a nice selection of craft beers on tap.
I had high expectations since the Unilocal reviews were so good and the pictures of the food looked amazing! As expected, the food we were presented was photo worthy, but flavor-​wise it fell bellow the mark. I had the Turkey Avocado Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and my date had the Bacon Cheddar Burger with French Fries. We both agreed it just didn’t knock our socks off (not for a $ 60 lunch) and believe me he’s a big time burger lover.
I did enjoy the interior design, great use of the ever-​popular industrial look. Also, Wingcraft has a great location, walking distance to all the Outlet Shopping. I get the feeling this style restaurant is unique to Atlantic City… and that’s why people are so «in-​love» with it. But in Pittsburgh they’re a dime a dozen… so to me, it just wasn’t great or special. I definitely wouldn’t come back, unless someone forced me to.

First time here and both the bartender (Nancy) and the caprese burger was awesome. Best burger I’ve ever had and that has everything to do with the meat blend they use. Def worth the money!

Cold winter night, awesome food. Friendly staff. So many draft choices on tap. TV’s and nice set up, clean and nice balance of music /​not too loud. Fried Oreos are legit, do yourself a favor and don’t leave without ordering them!

Just had lunch and all I can say is YUMMM ! Try the short rib burger on fresh bun home made kettle chips tater tots also great. Service was perfect thank you Brenda. Save Rome for the fried Oreo. Beer selection great 12 plus on tap wing are above average. Décor is cozy and warm. CHECK IT OUT.

Stopped here for a late lunch last Saturday after a meeting. Nancy our server, was a refreshing slice of hospitality. She made us feel like old friends though it was our first visit.
She made careful recommendations and explained the menu options to us.
Service was attentive and prompt without being overbearing.
Craft beer selections are wide ranging though the absence of Dogfish was interesting.
Too many others to choose from maybe they think you can get Dogfish anywhere.
Parking was validated. If you’re in AC skip the chains and eat here. It’s worth it.

This place is legit. In a sea of chain restaurants and upscale Casino joints, this place was surprisingly awesome. My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch, as we had late dinner rez at the borgata, and we were just blown away by the place. Food was good, server was good, and the place had a good vibe. Solid ideas on the food menu. Next time I’m in the area, ill def be hitting this up. Shout out to the valet guy at bally’s for steering me here.

I have had Wingcraft Kitchen & Beer Bar bookmarked for quite some time now and finally paid a visit during a recent business trip to A.C. We had a party of nine and all thoroughly enjoyed their Wingcraft experience.
The restaurant itself, from a layout perspective, is different in that it is pretty much one medium sized rounded off room with a bar area worked in. The elegant wood décor brings a very charming and warm atmosphere. The table spacing lends nicely to being able to have a conversation without the need for yelling or hearing aids.
I had the fried mozzarella balls and the buffalo blue styled wings. Both were very good and I really enjoyed the wings. I could have used a slightly larger container of blue cheese but man the wings were, as Hollis Thomas (former Philadelphia Eagle), would say «tender and delicious».
Wingcraft had twenty beers on tap and did a nice job providing a variety in terms of style. They did not overdo it with IPA’s like many gastropubs tend to do. They provided plenty of beer menus and did a nice job providing descriptions to aid in the selection process.
The serving staff was pleasant but we did run into an issue as the waitress initially balked at providing individual checks. I know that can be a pain but rarely run into issues with this request at restaurants. She ended up making it work but did put up a fight and tried to avoid it.
Wingcraft receives a ringing endorsement from me. Be sure to bookmark this one so you can easily dial it up during your next trip to Atlantic City!

I can’t even think because I’m so full. The burgers are definitely hand made and hearty. EI had the fried mozzarella balls, the short-​rib Tator tots, and the garlic Parmesan wings as a starter. The appetizers were great except they were a tad bit cold. I wish the mozzarella balls were a bit hotter so the cheese were more… What I would say «cheesy». Laugh out loud. But it was great starters. Very original.
I didn’t like the Parmesan garlic wings, it seemed as though they were tossed in buffalo sauce and was like «oops hot to add garlic and sprinkle Parmesan»… But who knows, that’s how they do wings there.
Overall, you’ll be full. The food is fresh and the beef is grass fed. You’ll be satisfied. The strip in Atlantic city is full of chain restaurants, and if you didn’t want to eat in the mediocre, overly priced casino restaurants — I say give it a try.

I am so glad I found this restaurant on Unilocal!The interior was a very hip and cool feeling, it was also very spacious and clean. Our server was asp very attentive and nice!
As for the food my boyfriend and I ordered:
Cheddar Mac & Cheese– This one was my least favorite dish. It just wasn’t cheesy enough and the taste was just okay. Definitely can be improved.
Short Ribs Tater Tots– This one was my favorite one! The meat was very tender and flavorful. The tots were made perfectly, crunchy and yummy.
Chicken Tenders– The chicken was very juicy and the tenders in general had the perfect little crisp. The sauces were also very good.
Downeast Ciders: This is now one of my favorite ciders ! So much better than the typical Angry Orchard. This cider looked rather thick compared to the typical cider, but wow it was really good.
Glad I came here!

This place is awesome! We had to walk a couple of blocks from the resort/​casino we were staying in the rain but it was all worth it! We made it in time for their happy hour specials which I thought it was great price and portion of each appetizers was pretty good.
Lots of appetizers and beers on the special happy hour menu and waitress who served us was nice and attentive. My favorite was the Mac and cheese and as you can see in the photos, they were cooked and seasoned perfect!
Atmosphere was pretty chill/​relaxing. It was during the week day so it may be why but clean, modern and nothing negative which stood out.
This was definitely one of my favorite places to visit in Atlantic city and I thank you my fellow Unilocalers for the helpful reviews!
I would definitely recommend and would go back when we are in town next.

Love this place! 20 craft beers on tap and awesome food! Short Rib Tots are a must. We had the arugula and tomato flatbread which was really good too as well as the turkey burger which was so good. The only negative that I would point out was the service. They were packed but we felt rushed by our waitress and she wasn’t real helpful with regards to the beer flight. She was to knowledgeable.

Great service! Packed on nights for larger groups so make a reservation. Has a large variety of beer on tap. And the burgers with chips are amazing !

Waitress, Kathleen (and her sister), were both really friendly! I’m not that versed in craft beers, but told our waitress we like Stella and she recommended Piercing Pilsner, which was really good — hoppy, wheaty, and light.
Also on the menu for us were the sesame garlic & honey BBQ chicken tenders, traditional wings, and short to tater tots.
The wings and tenders were so good. The tenders had a light, yet flavorful batter. And the sauces were bangin’.
Music is good too, some alternative, reggae and, oldies rap. Really dope spot right outside of the Sheraton Hotel.
Thanks for the speedy, personalized service! And such good comfort food!

What a great find in Atlantic City! My wife and I were staying at the «dog friendly» Sheraton, and had spent the day walking — so we decided to skip going back to one of the casino restaurants. Wingcraft was right across the street, and got great reviews from Unilocalers.
Good call Unilocalers! Wingcraft isn’t fancy, but it has a nice vibe and us comfy — if a bit loud when full.
We had some maple glazed burbon corn fritters and short rib tater tots to start. Yum! There were other appetizers that sounded appealing too. Maybe we can wash them down with the unique craft beer menu next time.
My wife enjoyed her Philly cheesesteak with homemade chips, while I loved my short rib grilled cheese sandwich, made with 3 different cheeses.
If you stay at the Sheraton, are at the convention center or are shopping the outlet stores — Wingcraft is a great place!

Wingcraft is kind of a breath of fresh air in AC. It’s clean, updated, not in a casino and the food is pretty tasty too.
We came to AC Sunday-​Tuesday but I didn’t want to miss the Eagles game so we plopped in here because it worked perfectly before we could check in to the hotel. It was a pretty empty bar, a few people and a few people in seats. Note: this isn’t a sports bar by any means but they do have a couple TVs, it was a great place to watch because it wasn’t filled with wasted people watching the game which is nice to get away from every once in awhile.
They have a pretty great selection of beers, and flights for $ 7.50 which is really reasonable. During football they also have food and beer specials which were also great, it was $ 4 Brooklyn Pilsner then lager when that ran out.
The bartender was absolutely fantastic, and he knew his shit when it came to beer, no doubt there. I wish I caught his name, but he had a beard and glasses. He was great, thanks to him for making our few hours there really enjoyable!
I got the short rib burger and it was delicious. You can’t pick temperature because it’s 2 smaller patties but the burger was flavorful! I got the regular chips that came with us and they were damn good! The fries didn’t look like it was worth upgrading for 2 more bucks. We also got some buffalo bites with the roasted red pepper sriracha sauce which was spicy but flavorful!
Overall, this is one of the better places in AC because it is separate from the boardwalk and the overpriced casino joints. I will absolutely come back here!

A cool place to stop when we were tired of walking around the outlets of AC.
We were seated in view of the college football games on the tv which my bf appreciated.
I ordered a Not Your Father’s Root Beer which I was happy to see, as they didn’t have any ciders on the list that day. There was a good beer selection, which would be great if I drank beer. They also had a full bar and wine list.
We ordered some honey bbq wings and large order of tater tots that were smothered in things, I don’t even know what. Great suggestion by our server to get the large order or we would have had like 3 tots each. The wings were really tasty, though a bit expensive, it was almost $ 7 for 6 wings. All in all, a good place to stop, and probably would go back if in the area in the future.

Their beer list absolutely blows me away. My most recent visit was shortly after a Founder’s Brewing event and they somehow still had Kentucky Breakfast Stout and Blushing Monks available on draft. Wow, wow, wow! They also had Grapefruit Sculpin by Ballast Point on draft. I probably shouldn’t even be writing this review update in the chance these beers are somehow still available for my next visit, but I’ll be nice and share the knowledge. Obviously this review will be dated shortly, but this is just an example of the great and varied beers they carry.
Okay, enough beer gushing. The service and the food was also stellar.
On Monday nights they offer an $ 8 burger and fries special. It includes their classic burger, which is normally $ 11.99. This burger has made the list of top burgers in the area. While I haven’t tried every burger on the list, I’d have to agree that this burger is worthy of a prize. The classic burger consists of two patties, which weren’t huge on their own, but combined to make one hearty portion of meat. Lettuce, tomato and onion were available on request so I went with lettuce and onion. The lettuce was arugula and onion was a red onion. Nice touch. I withheld the special sauce, which consisted of some sort of ketchup, mayo and mustard combo. My only complaint was the bun. Even without the sauce, the potato bun was falling apart. I would have loved to see a Kaiser bun or something heartier.
Our server was also great. She was friendly and was happy to chat with us about beer and answer all of our menu questions.
I’m sold on the burger and beer. I cannot wait to come back to have more beer and take a deeper dive into their menu.

Came here earlier to grab something to eat. Seen this place and it was on my list for a while.
Location: Right by foot traffic. Near the outlets. Pretty sure it’s booming during the weekend!
Ambiance: Very sporty, great for groups, eh on romantic. I can be wrong though. Love the bar. It’s super spacious! They have great lighting and doors that I’m sure they open when it’s warmer. Very cool and airy. Decoration is cool as well.
They’re a beer bar and serve craft drinks. Good luck picking just one! So many choices. Went with a Dog Fish Festina Peche. Peach beer. So good!
Food: They should have a kids menu. So we ended up getting chicken tenders for the kids. Let me say, rarely I have chicken tenders I like. So much so that I DONT order chicken tenders. I can eat these tenders all day! They were seasoned great! The batter was light, crisp and not heavy and think like regular tenders. So you taste chicken AND crispy. Not just skin. BF ordered the pizza burger and he loved it. Gave the option to make your tater tots cheesy but just came with a side of cheese. Thought that was cheesy (no pun intended). I was expecting it a little more gourmet. It took me forever to order because albeit simple the menu is really interesting. I wanted to try it all. I ended up with the braised short rib grilled cheese. OMG. Tasty! Buttery Texas toast, tender short ribs, gooey cheese. Perfect. Came with home made chips which I didn’t care for. Heavily salted in my opinion.
Server was super sweet, knowledgeable and overall great guy.
I’ll definitely be back here. I may even be a regular because I saw fried Oreos on the menu and I needs that!

So FINALLY I have actually eaten at this place! With my last review being a 1 star due to service. I have finally settled down to actually trying out the food.
All in all I say this place deserves all the recent hype it’s been getting around the city! We went for lunch on a Friday and boy is it different vs night time! Even though the storefront is completely lined with glass doors you can barely tell you’re in Atlantic City, because it’s so different from most of the restaurants in the area.
When you walk in the restaurant gives off this nice rustic, modern vibe and you get seated pretty quickly (It was 2pm so the restaurant was not at all crowded). Our waitress was very friendly, she introduced herself and the girl she was training, gave us our menus and gave us ample time to look through the menu.
We all got our own burgers/​sandwiches and shared 3 different types of wings, Garlic Parm, Sesame Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper Sriracha. We also got the Avocado Flat bread to share as well. Now let me tell you these are some of the best wings ever! I definitely enjoyed the Garlic Parm and the Roasted Red Pepper Sriracha wings and personally the Sesame Garlic was a bit boring, but a lot of people would enjoy that most likely. As for the flat bread, if you love avocados I think this is a good choice for you. It’s a very light and airy taste. The flat bread was crispy and enjoyable.
Our waitress was awesome as most servers should be. She was attentive and made sure to check up on between our appetizers and between our entrees to make sure everything was alright and if we needed anything else. She smiled a lot and made us feel really comfy at Wingcraft and that’s the type of service I look forward to at any restaurant. Also the bathroom is clean and the place itself is clean so that’s always a plus.
Overall it’s a great place and we had a wonderful experience there. They have an awesome selection for craft beers if you love beer as much as I do.

WARNING: Come during the day, if you can, instead of night. First time I stopped by Wingcraft it was night, and busy as heck; perhaps the staff that night were rookies that they handled the mass number of incoming customers terribly or they’re just that bad under pressure with all the people. Either way, I decided to give this place one more go, but this time during the day so that I could give you guys my honest opinion on their food and relax service.
AVOCADO CHICKEN FLATBREAD — Nice, light, and clean appetizer option to get you going while you wait for your entrée. Decent amount of avocado and chicken chunks that won’t weight the whole flatbread down.
ROASTED RED PEPPER SRIRACHA WINGS — Personally, of the 3 kinds of wings that I tried, these were my favorite because of that nice sriracha kick that definitely made these wings the most memorable.
SESAME GARLIC WINGS — Compared to the other wings, these wings are like starving chicken wings, so if you’re feeling pretty darn hungry then it’s probably safer to order something different. Nonetheless, the wings were nicely marinated and tasted fantastic! Ordering heap load of appetizers? Then by all means, give these wings a go.
GARLIC PARM WINGS — My immediate thoughts…“ehh”. Though they tasted great, these were the least memorable of the 3 that I tried. Nonetheless, they will definitely do your chicken wing cravings some good satisfaction.
TURKEY AVOCADO BURGER — A little tough to get in that whole entire first bite since the turkey patty and lower bun were bigger than the top bun of the burger, not to mention the height of the burger, but oh man, once you do get in that bite, that’s some good burger my friend. If you’re accustomed to have beef patties in your burger, then the turkey patty might seem a bit dry, but once you get past the fact that you shouldn’t be imagining yourself biting into a beef patty, it’s no longer as dry seeming because it is a turkey patty that you are biting into haha. Lover of avocados like myself? You won’t be disappointed.
ALL IN ALL, I’m glad Wingcraft opened up where it is. Convenient location, and the menu prices aren’t too shabby at all. Definitely more reasonable than some of the other places inside the casinos and not as public as grabbing a hot dog on the boardwalk. For folks in the area, it’s nice to have another alternative to Red Robins to satisfy that burger craving. Rating this place compared to all the other food options in the area, I would have to give it a 5. But if you’re from an area where there’s a good number of burger joints, then a 4 would probably be more fitting for this joint.
