Cora’s Best Chicken Wings

Delicious wings, but wasn’t impressed with the fried rice and the cheese puffs. They were soggy and the rice was bland. The wings and the sauce were very tasty and helped spice up the rest of the meal. Very cheap eating, a combo platter was about $ 5!

I’ve been coming here for almost 15 years now, the wings are just awesome. Its messy eating them, but then you get to lick that delicious sauce off your fingers so who cares!
Just to clarify something I’ve read in other reviews, you can dine in. There are a few tables. When they’re busy its not that comfy but there are tables. The vast majority of ppl get takeout tho.
The place is a dive. A classic American dive joint that serves stupendous food that you will just not find anywhere else, particularly at xyz chain restaurant. So I repeat, the place is a dive. It is kind of dingy. If you can’t handle that this is probably not the place for you.
Spicy wing sauce here is the best. I recommend trying that over anything else. The cheese puffs are awesome too, and put a little of the wing sauce on them and they are even better. The fried rice may be best in the TC. It is that good.
So if you aren’t snooty and don’t mind a little dinge come here, you’ll probably make it a fave.

When I referee soccer on the east side, my post match meal of champions is Cora’s. I honestly can’t think of any other place in between one of three fields I’ve reffed at and home that can serve better wings.
I’m always getting #7 5 piece (I think). Some fries and spicy ass wings. Throw that Shasta orange soda on the side and I’m ready to roll.
Puts me in a happy place every flipping time.
Like Chris H. says, it is definitely a Asian inspired infusion then dry or anything else and the place is takeout only.
If you want to do rice, fried rice or cream cheese puffs instead of the fries, you got that option too.

Hands down the best chicken wings I’ve ever had

I’ve been coming to Cora’s for years and years…
I moved out of state about 10 years ago and you can’t get these chicken wings anywhere in Cali. So every time I’m out in Minnesota I come to Cora to relive my child hood. This is what i ate growing up. They always satisfy my appetite and their recipe has never changed. Tastes the same every time i come back (:
I would recommend this place to any of my family or friends.

Heard a lot of great things about this place, wasn’t too impressed, wasn’t too disappointed either. That’s why they get an average rating of 3 stars. The place is super tiny and makes for awkward waiting around when it’s busy but since we live around the block we usually just come back if it’s going to take awhile. For the area though, this is definitely the chicken wing place to go.

I am still trying to find a replacement my favorite (West Indies Soul) wings after they closed down. While Cora’s is ok, it’s not a place that I would go to again. The wings are definitely more Asian/​hoisin infused with a more sweet than spicy taste. I kept thinking this was going to be more African for some reason; however, this is just straight up, cheap-​to-​moderately priced and mediocre Asian food.

Some of the best chicken in the twin cities

The only thing you need to get on the menu is their chicken wings. Everything else isn’t worth it unless it comes w/​the meal. But their wings are simply one of theeeee best in town!

Nice heat, but TERRIBLY salty and sticky spicy wings
The aesthetics have much to be desired as well — open grate on the ceiling, cords for surveillance equipment all over, door terribly grease-​stained from hands.
Good customer service, but that won’t bring me back.

Tried out Cora’s for lunch as I was looking for good wings near work. I had the Sweet Wings (they have 3 varieties Plain, Sweet, and Spicy). The wings had a nice crunchy coating and the sweet sauce was very tasty. It’s pretty much a take out joint as there isn’t a seating area.
I am looking forward to going back and trying out the spicy wings.

Seriously, just try them. Best chicken wings I’ve ever had and more importantly, the best you’ll ever have. The place is spartan, nowhere to sit, just a countertop and some pictures of different types of combos. Don’t worry about the combos — just order the six-​piece wings (start with sweet — try getting half spicy later when you order the party pack with your friends).
