Wings aren't Provo's culinary strength — this isn't Buffalo or Nashville. But the options that exist are solid enough to satisfy a wing craving, especially on game days, group outings, and those evenings when nothing else will do. Here's where to find them.
The Best Wings
Cubby's
$$ · Multiple Locations
Cubby's is best known for burgers and Chicago beef, but the wings deserve attention. They're well-sized, properly cooked (crispy skin, tender meat), and available with multiple sauce options. The quality of ingredients that makes Cubby's burgers good carries over to the wings. Order them as an appetizer or make them the main event.
Best sauce: The house dry rub is the sleeper pick. The buffalo sauce is classic and well-balanced.
Wing Coop
$ · Provo
A dedicated wing shop with the widest sauce selection in the valley. The menu offers dozens of flavors from mild to punishingly hot, with creative options alongside the classics. The wings themselves are solid — good size, crispy when ordered that way — and the format lets you mix and match flavors across an order. It's not fancy, but it's focused.
Best for: Wing purists who want variety and heat options.
Winger's
$$ · Multiple Locations
The Utah-based chain has built a following around its "sticky finger" wings — a signature preparation with a sweet, tangy glaze that's become the defining Winger's experience. Love them or find them too sweet — there's no neutral opinion. The traditional wings are also available and well-executed. The restaurant atmosphere works for families and groups.
Best for: The sticky finger experience. Groups and families.
Slackwater
$$ · Riverwoods, Orem
Slackwater's wings lean gastropub — better quality, more creative preparations, and served alongside craft cocktails rather than cheap beer. The portions are generous, the sauces change seasonally, and the overall execution is a step above typical wing spots. The Riverwoods patio makes this the best warm-weather wing experience in the valley.
Best for: Wings as part of a nicer dinner or group outing.
Chain Options
Buffalo Wild Wings — The national chain delivers exactly what you'd expect: a massive sauce menu, big screens for game-watching, and consistent (if unremarkable) wings. The main value is the sports-bar atmosphere and late-ish hours.
Zaxby's — Chicken fingers and wings in a fast-casual format. Not traditional bone-in wings, but the chicken is well-seasoned and the sauces are good. Convenient for a quick wing fix.
Wings for Game Day
Wings and sports go together. For BYU game day wing orders:
Wing Coop handles large to-go orders well — call ahead for game-day quantities.
Buffalo Wild Wings has the screens if you're watching at the restaurant. Arrive early on game days for seating.
Cubby's offers wings to-go alongside their other takeout options. The quality holds up well in transit.
For catering-sized wing orders (20+ people), call Wing Coop or Buffalo Wild Wings 24-48 hours in advance.
DIY Wings at Home
For game-day parties, homemade wings are often better and cheaper than ordering out:
The method: Bake wings at 425°F on a wire rack for 40-45 minutes until the skin crisps. Toss in sauce after cooking. This produces consistently better results than most restaurant fryers.
Sauce options: Frank's RedHot + melted butter is the classic buffalo. For variety, pick up wing sauces at Smith's or Harmons.
The math: A 4-pound bag of frozen wings ($8-10 at Walmart) feeds 4-6 people. The same quantity at a restaurant runs $30-50+.
