House of Wings

AMAZING wings. Ordered four varieties but unfortunately only received two of the four I ordered. Still ate the other two types but was a little disappointed. None the less, great service and great tasting wings.

Great customer service!!! Went here on a Friday for lunch. Literally took 20 minutes to order, just because I was so intrigued by the number of sauce options. The guy at the desk was so helpful, he recommended I try the lemon pepper wings. I was a bit hesitant, I had tried lemon pepper wings at the famous Toosties before and hated them. I decided to give the «wet» lemon pepper wings a try. Boy was I happy I did!!! They were some of the best wings I have ever had. The guy at the desk warned me that I would be hooked, he wasn’t kidding!!! Can’t wait to come back and try all their other flavors!!! Trust me you won’t regret this gem of a wing spot!

Good wholesome food, quick service, and very delicious food!

I just moved to the area and was looking for a good wing spot that could stand up to the ones back home. I’ve been to H.O.W. a couple times now and I’m hooked! They got my flavor of heat, Great wings! Damn good! I’ll be back.

Great wings and good service. If you don’t want to wait, call in your order in advance because everything is cooked to order.
I wish the sauce menu had descriptions, but other than that, they are great. I had the Obama and the Lemon Pepper wings, both were tasty.

Amazing location in the great historic Overtown. Big juicy perfectly flavored wings. Crisp fries. The prices make the food a steal. The owner is usually around to ensure happy guest. Highly recommend for lunch, dinner or to impress friends and or family for a house party. Come hungry.

Hands down best wings I’ve ever had. Try the Barack Obama and Honey Lemon Pepper, so good!

Um not my favorite wing spot wings are way too big and then i bit one that was mostly bone covered in skin (mutated wing). Fries are terrible will not be coming back here… Ever!!! The worst

This is a great place to eat at when in Miami! I appreciate the seafood options and love the fries! Service is amazing and I love simply reading about the variety of wing sauces, though I don’t eat chicken. Thanks for the amazing hospitality, especially during the Overtown Music Festival. Special shout out to Mussaddiq! Keep up the great work, fam! ;)

Absolutely love the wings here! I think I’ve tried them all, my favorite flavor would have to be the jerk chicken wings. Grab a glass of water because they are very spicy and delicious!

Great wings! You can’t go wrong with the lemon pepper. Friendly owner and employees! Support the locals.

They are alright, love supporting the community, but the wings are just ok, I believe you have to season the wings a little before the sauce, but the wings are bland with sauces. The fries are OK too, but the yellow rice is bland parboiled rice and I will never order that again. I had the onion rings although they didn’t look appetizing, they were actually good.

With over several dozen sauces to chose from, this is by far the best place for wings in Miami, and there’s also lots of other items to choose from, such as fish, etc. The service is friendly and attentive, and the historical pictures on the wall are an added bonus! You can even call ahead and take out or dine in an enjoy the local conversations. House of Wings is truly the best local restaurant when you’re craving them wings!

Everyone needs to experience this place at least once. Don’t let the atmosphere scare you away, the food is amazing and the service is great as well!

The wings are AMAZING, the variety is incredible, the prices are good and the portions are generous. Also, definitely try the homemade conch salad. It’s just like the one you get in the Bahamas… and the ladies that run the place are the best!
The downside: the neighborhood can be truly scary and is enough to keep people away from this little gem. If it weren’t for the location I’d give this place 5 stars because it’s that good but you can’t ignore the problem been created by the area. The only other criticism is that you can’t get a plain glass of water. You have to buy ever drink, including water.

Been wanting to try this place for over a year! I finally got to go today. Had the Barack Obama with fries. Got 5 wings with fries for $ 6.37. They also had a 10-​piece for little over $ 10. Also got the Lemon Pepper, extra crispy (which is supposed to be their most popular flavor) and the Honey BBQ. The lemon pepper was way too salty and tart. Thank God for the blue cheese sauce or we couldn’t have eaten it. The Barack Obama was a lot like the Honey BBQ. The wings were small but I was still full after eating 5 pieces with the fries. I like to support small business but the food wasn’t good enough for me to go back. There are other places downtown with better wings for comparable prices.

Excellent wings. I tried the Jamaican Wine, Spicy Garlic, Jamaican Thai, and Barack Obama. They were all awesome. Glad I ordered from here, since it is right around my job. Looking forward to trying all the flavas.
Jamaican Wine has great tangy flavor and a good kick.
Spicy Garlic is not too spicy. Just good garlic flavor all around.
Jamaican Thai has a nice tangy sweetness. Loved it.
Barack Obama is good old-​fashioned bbq chicken wings that will win over any conservative.

Several years back there was a House of Wings in Coconut Grove. I loved going there for wings as I worked neaby. Then it disappeared. Restaurants closed all the time so I didn’t think too much of it, but I was happy to find that it had merely moved to a new location.
The street that it’s on in Overtown is actually very nice, and there is street parking as well as a good parking lot on the same spot in the park, so you feel safe walking on the street, should the address «Overtown» scares you.
Walking in, I saw the same long list of sauces to pick up. Well, not the same. Nobody knew Obama back when this place was in the Groves. I love trying all the sauces. Some, to be honest, taste pretty close. Their rice is pretty good. Buffalo Wild WIngs boast of its sauce variety too but this place wins wings down in deliciousness.
Thanks Auntie, for making the best chicken wings in town!

When you refer to the executive chef as Auntie, you know you’re in a family restaurant. You’re not getting anything organic. Ketchup packets are Cisco brand. As another reviewer mentioned, the list of sauces is humongous and complex. Go for the orange bbq and teriyaki sauces, you’ll thank me later (if you’re a fan of sweet and spicy!) Be sure to close out with one of their «homemade» chocolate chip cookies. Then you can burn it out jogging out of Overtown!

Ah! Ah! Who in their right mind would stop by House of Wings, knowing that it sits right smack in the middle of Overtown. The daring, the valiant and the damn hungry. That’s right! Here, let me tell you like this: if someone says that some of the best wings are in Overtown, well, then someone needs to make sure that the information is correct, and then, that same someone needs to let the world know House of Wings has some good wings, even at the risk of death.
How he or she died, that’s a different story.
The wings at House of Wings are good, not OK, not great, good. The sauces that bathe the wings, please take a deep breath, are amazing. There are over 60 sauces on the menu, and picking what sauce to put on your wings if like reading the manual that came with your toaster. Ain’t gonna do it … it ain’t happening. To fully understand what your are reading needs an advanced degree in cryptology and some brotha-​man skills. For instance, there is BBQ and there is HBQ. There is also Hickory Smoke Que and there is Hot Hick Smoke. And then a plethora of names that do not ring a bell, like Barack Obama, Homestyle, Parasean, Mardi Gras, South Beach, and my favorite, KO, Ghetto Flavor and Suicide.
That is why the brotha-​man skills are necessary, the proof is in the following account. So you talk to the girl in the counter like this, «Hey sweet thang, what’s good heah?» The inflection on «sweet thang» is important, and don’t say «heah» like if you were a cowboy, if you don’t do it right you’re lost. And don’t expect your host to say «what’d you like loverboy?», that’s just ridiculous. So, you properly address the girl at the counter and she will take care of you. If you did it right, the first thing she will say is «don’t order the Suicide sauce». It’s called suicide for a reason. Don’t do it. And then she will explain the menu patiently and she’ll guide you on your selections.
The menu on House of Wings also says fried wings or grilled wings. Don’t order grilled. That’s not part of the brother-​man protocol. To ask for grilled wings generates a very loud rattling noise in the kitchen, which is a few feet away, and a loud roar will hint you on reconsidering your choice. Before the raptor is released, quickly change your order to the fried wings. The girl at the counter will nod and smile in approval.
So far have had these flavors: Spicy Garlic (not spicy), Lemon Pepper (I like), HBQ Jerk (spicy good), Blue Cheese (spicy), Orange (taste like orange). Suicide is reserved for my darkest hour.
About the structure itself, House of Wings is, well, it’s a quaint space. A few tables, a TV screen, a sink, no restrooms, sticky floors, an almost empty glass door refrigerator, a counter with a girl, a Vespa parked in the middle of the joint, and auntie frying wings in the kitchen. Outside sits the overpass, across a church, and beyond a barbershop blasting a sound system, and most likely someone on the mike.
Who’s got next?
