Nine places with wings on the menu inside Wilmington's city limits, from downtown pubs to Market Street, South College Road and Masonboro Loop.

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Wings in Wilmington cluster downtown, where five pubs, brewpubs and pizzerias within a few blocks of Front Street put them on the menu. Away from the river, a wing chain is on South College Road, Hooters is on Market Street near New Centre Drive, a barbecue restaurant smokes them on Oleander Drive, and a neighborhood pub has two locations in Masonboro and Midtown.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Wilmington’s city limits, the data that also feeds our local directory, plus places in the Downtown Wilmington dining directory and the chains’ own store lists. We kept places whose own menu names wings, checked each one against its own website on Oct. 11, 2026, and checked each address against the city limits with the U.S. Census Bureau’s address lookup. Pizza chains that also sell wings are on the pizza list. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places?
