Wings, Suds & Spuds

It’s amusing to read some of the other reviews that people hate on this place. What did you expect? What kind of grand, over the top, posh… hip…up and coming restaurant were you looking for? Because let’s be honest, as you can read from the other reviews and SEE FOR YOURSELF FROM THE OUTSIDE… it’s a hole in the wall. This bar has been there FOREVER! It has probably never had a remodel, a makeover, or a change in ownership. It still has a sign on the back of the restaurant from the name of the old street, yes… it’s been there so long the name of the road has actually changed. And guess what? Do you know why it’s been there for so long? Because of one reason, they know how to make a god damn chicken wing, fry up a batch of french fries, and serve a cold glass of beer. Hense the title of the place. You’ll get perfectly done wings that are DELICIOUS. You will get a pile of fries that are AMAZING! You will get beer that is INTOXICATING. You want pulled pork sandwiches, chicken parm hoagies, steak, burritos, ribs, pasta, …etc…GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. But if you want a hole in the wall dive that is comfortable, reasonably calm, and serves a fierce wing and fry combo… this is your establishment

Decent pub food — wings were above average — better than the run of the mill wings served in a lot of places in the area.
Not overly impressed with service or paper cups for drinks.

My husband and I stopped here after coming home from vacation. After a long flight, we were starving and this was one of the closest places to where we parked our car. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much. And it isn’t much on the inside either. However, I don’t care about appearance as long as the food is good. I ordered hot bbq wings with fries, he ordered a chicken parm sandwich. It just so happened that the kitchen made too many deep fried pickles for someone else’s order and so we got a complimentary order of those too. I thought the food portions were large, especially the fries. The wings were ok, not my favorite. The chicken parm sandwich left a lot to be desired. Although, a place called «Wings, Suds and Spuds,» you probably shouldn’t order a chicken parm sandwich. As for the deep fried pickles, they were pretty ordinary. The food is typical bar food but I imagine this would be a great place to watch sports games.

Have been a customer for years, best wings in the burgh, no doubt. But the last time I ate there, I found some oddly curly hairs on my steak hoagie. Definitely not from someone’s head. Health dept complaint was filed.

My wife and I recently came here for a late dinner. We were shopping all day and wanted something relatively quick. We both appreciate a place that has good wings. She is from New York and had never been to Wings Suds and Spuds. I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and have been there several times over the years. I recommended there because of my past experiences but I was embarrassed about mentioning the place after we left. They were just about the worst wings that I have ever had. The wings were soggy and had zero flavor. We also ordered the curly fries which pretty much came out raw. I know of many people that have said this place is hit or miss. You may go in and get some of the best wings out there or you may get the experience we had. I highly doubt we will ever go back.

Many good memories here through out the years. I flew in late and my only regret is that they are closing before the end of game one of the World Series! This places has great wings and some good beer choices. The high light of Moon!

Hands down, the best wings. Never had a bad experience, and I’ve been going there since I was little. Great service all the time.

I enjoy Wings, Suds & Spuds. My husband does not like it as much as me because of the atmosphere.
1. It is old and a bit dirty. Spic N Span would do wonders.
2. It is LOUD. Perhaps when you’re cleaning you could put some sound walls up so there’s not so much echoing?
3. So many children. Like under 18 kids with their parents after baseball/​soccer/​hockey/​random sport. Go away, kids. And parents. :)
4. The staff — I love them. My husband thinks they come around too much. But I’m a talker and he would prefer to stay home so there’s that.
5. The drinks? Spot on and strong.
6. The draft options? Yay to ciders!
7. The apps? Greasy-​spoon-​tastic.
8. The wings? They are good but not that much money worth of good. Hence the 1 star deduction.
9. The other like «meal stuff»? I dunno… I go for greasy apps and booze.
Try it out. Don’t bring the kids or you’ll see me roll my eyes. I’m here to drink!

Best wings and curly fries in Pittsburgh! I go here at least twice a month and it never disappoints. Staff is always friendly and welcoming– food comes out quickly too! They do a great job here.

Really great food BUT I can’t stand all of the paper products used. It’s a sit down restaurant, not a fast food joint. Tiny paper plates, paper cups, and plastic forks makes it seem cheap. Three of us ate wings and apps. If our bill is $ 64, you should invest in a dishwasher. …Not to mention the environmental factor.

First time here! GREAT boneless wings. Had Jerk and Cajun. Good beer selection too. Nothin’ fancy but will definitely be back! Alcohol a bit pricey… surprised by a $ 43 bill for 2 people. All we had were boneless wings and 3 drinks.

The place doesn’t look great from outside, but boy! Go inside and enjoy some of the best wings you’ve ever tried!
I loved the crisp of the Cajun spiced wings and a very generous portion of handmade curly fries.

Horrible. Btw the Pop is 2.29. For not even a can size amount in a paper cup. Overpriced and over cooked.

A little too expensive for what you get. Especially when the curly fries are cold and the wings are over cooked. Favors of wings are good but would be better if wings were not over cooked. I realize that taste is a matter of opinion but cold is cold and over cooked and dry is over cooked and dry!

Ok food if you like things fried but it’s very overpriced for a grease pit. My 4 year old and I had chicken tenders, a half order of fries, a turkey sandwich, and a domestic bottle beer (miller lite). Total bill was $ 28 and that’s without the tip. The lack of a kids menu really hurts the review of this place. I love supporting ma and pop businesses but draw then line when you price gouge.

Let me start with the good: the beer is great, all the draft beers are craft which are a good selection and variety for whatever you might be looking for. The wait staff is also very good.
The food leaves quite a bit to be desired. Don’t expect Buffalo wild wings or wings and rings quality. The boneless wings are 1″ by 1″ cubes of lightly fried chicken, so 5 in the small order is not a lot of food by any means. The fries are good but lots of small pieces and you’re best off getting a full order to receive a decent basket of them. You’ll most likely need to fill up on fries to get a decent meal, as the chicken is limited.

5 stars … Period!
Have to give a shout out to my favorite wing joint of all time. Nothing has changed from the early 90s including the fabulous wings, curly fries, and dated décor. Just the way it should be… No corporate franchise or expansion to ruin a good thing!!!

Wings Suds and Spuds delivers on very good wings.
It amazes me how so few places can make a descent chicken wing, but they are few and far between. Wings, Suds and Spuds does a very good job, much better than most. Located in a bit of a rundown area in a hole in the wall facility I found some of the best wings in quite a while. There are lots of flavors to choose from, I chose Buffalo style, spicy. The wings arrived in short order, a bit over sauced. I was expecting a soggy skin, I was wrong. Nice and crispy skin, with wings being medium sized. Very tasty with a container on blue cheese. Two tiny pieces of celery were included. I also had a side of fries, which were good, but not very crispy. It was a very good lunch.
My only complaints: a bit over priced, over sauced wings, fries not crispy, too little celery. On the plus side: wings were very good and crispy, fries despite not being crispy were quite good. Service was good. I would have no problem returning.

This used to be better, but is a solid 4 star place that I can routinely go after years and years, and still get too much wings, ok fries, and beer. a dive bar that I like, and would go back to. I’m a fan, as they say. ask for ‘em wet if you like ‘em wet.
good for groups, but not too big because they are not that big. also, entrance at rear.

I’ve lived in the area for years and just tried this place recently, my friend had been there before and loved it & I’ve heard nothing but good reviews. The food was ok but I don’t see myself returning.
Two of us came in around 6:30 and it was moderately busy. I ordered the beer battered shrimp and water, my friend ordered wings and a soda and we ordered an order of curly fries.
We were delivered the fries and my shrimp and our waitress asked if we needed anything else, we asked for ranch which was delivered quickly with no mention of the wings. We both ate the fries and I was waiting to start on my shrimp until his wings arrived. About 10 minutes pass and our server takes the empty fries basket and refills his soda with still no mention of the wings. He commented to me that maybe she forgot to put the order in. I offered him some of my shrimp and we finished them. Probably 20 minutes after the fries & shrimp were delivered, his wings appeared with no comment from our waitress about «sorry these took so long» or anything along those lines. I’ve been to many restaurants before where something isn’t quite ready and the server always tells you, «this will be out in a few minutes,» it was so strange to me that she didn’t mention it at all. So that soured the experience a bit.
The food was good. The curly fries were the perfect temperature and texture. My shrimp had a great beer batter and they didn’t have tails, which is annoying with most fried shrimp. They have some of the best ranch I’ve ever tasted.
Other than the weird timing of the food and our server seeming like she could care less about it I feel like it was a little pricey for what you get. Our bill was almost $ 30 and I was still hungry… Quaker Steak & Lube is cheaper and I’m always full when I leave there. It was also odd that the shrimp didn’t automatically come with some sort of side like fries or coleslaw.
A bit of a disappointment.
