51 Wings and Things

We order from here about weekly to every other week. I’ve had the steak salad, which is enough for one person and then some, and loaded with fresh toppings – sometimes with too much raw onion. The steak is really shaved steak (think: Steak Ums). I tried the breaded chicken instead with a sauce on it. I will warn you that the sauce sinks to the bottom and your lettuce wilts, so tread lightly with the sauces. We’ve had wings on numerous occasions. I really like the Honey Old Bay (just as it sounds), Sweet & Hot (honey or brown sugar and hot sauce), and the honey garlic – seeing a theme here? I do like their dry seasonings because they cook their wings very well, which is my preference. My husband always orders sandwiches – usually the Philly Steak, which he likes. Unfortunately, we lived in Philadelphia for years, so this would not compete with them, but it will do for Pittsburgh :) The onion rings are huge and beer battered and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Do note, they delivery – an usually faster than the time the predict. So we enjoy this place: it’s close, good on the wallet, and has some unique and decent choices.

Good place in Brentwood for wings. Have ordered twice– friendly staff and quick delivery

A couple of weeks ago, we ordered a bunch of wings for a Fouth of July party. The wings were delicious, and they beat the promised delivery time by 2p minutes. We will definitely order from them again (and I will not wait until the nect 4^th of July).

I spent close to $ 80 for 2 orders of
51 wings and was never given or even offered any sauce with my order
Very disappointed!

Been here twice both times we were not disappointed. Wings were decent sized and the sauce was good. The staff was very pleasant.

Many choices of wing sauces and delicious food! The employees are always willing you help you and answer any questions!

We love good wings! These… were not so good. They were okay, but the were a little overly fried and the sauces were unexpected, in a bad way. I wouldn’t rule it out for a future visit, but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way. The pricing was good, and it seemed exciting that they had all of these different sauces.

AMAZING. Wonton of month was stuffed with turkey and mash potatoes, with side of gravy, ooohh baby! And the wings, Extra hott bbq were like you ordered them fresh from your favorite bar and had a super good kick to them… Lets just say after this meal, the WONTONS weren’t the only thing STUFFED!!!

My husband and I love good wings! This place is definitely one of my faves. Right down the street from us in Brentwood, so we can eat in or get delivery. Not overpriced, and wings are ALWAYS crispy even with sauce. I bought a full dinner for myself tonight (gyro, wings, nachos — hey im 9 months Preggo it happens) and it was $ 15. Can’t beat it! I am obsessed with the honey sriracha wings… Anyone who gives a bad review isn’t eating where I am!

Ordered the 51 wings they offer for 34.99 wings weren’t bad but weren’t great either. They serve decent sized wings but some were overcooked and extremely hard so hard that we couldn’t even eat most of the wing. Buts not the worst part, ordering 51 wings you would think you’d get some variety of sauces. No, you get 2, for 51 wings 2 sauces. Oh and you get a small cup of ranch, 1 small cup. Extra is 50 cents per cup. I was also charged a dollar for paying with my debit card. Just and FYI for those not paying cash. I wasn’t told and only asked due to my total being way over the standard 7% tax. Overall I’d say not a horrible product just overpriced. Don’t think I’ll be ordering again.

So far I have been here 3 times. I’ve had their honey BBQ wings (anazingggg!), a chicken fries cheese and wing sauce bowl (sounds weird, but is pretty exceptional) and hot pepper cheese balls. I haven’t been disappointed yet. Their wings stayed crispy even tho they were drenched in sauce & they definitely didn’t go light on the sauce which I like! Hot pepper cheese balls are also amazing, I don’t find them in many places and I thoroughly adore them! Also this place has 51 wing sauces including some you won’t find a ton of places, a few sirracha flavored ones, jalapeño ranch, and that’s just naming a few. You can eat here although I believe take out is far more common.
The only main complaint I have is the ranch dressing, I love ranch and I’m kinda picky about it. Their ranch has decent flavor but is rather runny. All in all not a bad place to get some bar food/​game food. After all, it is football season!

Fantastically awesome. Best sauce I’ve had in a long time. Try peppercorn ranch, so good. Steak hoagie is filling. Bowls are good. Such good food please try it!

That this place was going to be good from the one person I know that has been there. It wasn’t. $ 4.99 for 6 small split wings is stupid. The sauce wasn’t any better. $ 7.99 for an Italian hogie, rip off. Will not be going back here. Suggest you don’t either

Delivery was timely. Wings were cooked nice and crispy, however they were very skimpy on the sauce.

Our first experience was not enjoyable, but we decided to give it another try. It was much better this time around! The first time must have been an off night for them because this time the wings were cooked perfectly and the sauces on our wings were delicious. I am a big fan of the jalepano gold wings. I also got the chicken gyro which was huge and tasted wonderful. We tried the old bay ranch, which were good but not to our taste (just our personal taste, we don’t eat many things with old bay seasoning so if you love that, you will probably love these, we just wanted to try something different). We also got the buffalo chicken wontons and the jalepano poppers which were good, but nothing that knocked my socks off.
Over all, I had a much better experience this time and I will definitely go back again.

These guys have great food. They’ve always been friendly and punctual with the food, and the food has always come hot and delicious. Great little place for wings and appetizers!

Best wings around, hands down! Try the marinara ranch! It’s worth it! Employees are fantastic, good quality is great, & they are offering 1lb hand breaded fish sandwhichsc & homemade periogies during lent!

Lord of the Wings… not!
Bought 102 wings for birthday party. They were
1. Very small
2. Very overcooked to the point of crunchy.
3. Very expensive !! Could have bought whole pieces of chicken at the Eagle for about the same price.

51 Wings does have 51 flavors. Want to try Taco or Old Bay or Garlic or… stop by and order a few.
Darren W is correct, good messy wings!

51 Wings sits on Route 51, an area that is experiencing a slow renaissance after years of underdevelopment.
51 Wings’ name also refers to the 51 (!) varieties of chicken wings they offer. That they sell no pizza whatsoever is enough to make them a refreshing addition to this long-​neglected South Hills corridor.
As we walked in to the grey-​walled storefront, we were greeted by a bubbly blonde who was eager to serve us and was tickled to know that we only came because our first choice, Edgar’s Authentic Mexican, is closed on Mondays.
Their wings come in oddball quantities of 6,13, 26, and…51! Without much thought, we requested 13 of the Old Bay Ranch flavor and were surprised to get a bowl full of crispy clucker parts that were covered in actual ranch dressing (as opposed to having it served on the side) and dusted with Old Bay after the fact.
A scrumptious mess it was, the chicken remaining brittle and moist despite the nigh-​overload of creamy white mother sauce, the aforementioned spice given just enough room to kick me in the tongue.
Kay had a Bowl of the Breaded Chicken persuasion with honey mustard. her meal came in a wooden salad bowl and included fries, mozzarella, a wing sauce and her choice of meat. I had to finish it for her, and found it to be a not-​quite-​fully-​realized type of poutine, not that it tried to be, which is what made this jumble of ideal shoestring fries, tender poultry nuggets, and cheese intriguing and perhaps… accidental?
My Bacon Cheeseburger was doughy, moist, gooey, and rich and tasty all around, the meaty, smoky, severely savory bacon stealing the show from a patty I wished was medium-​rare instead of well-​done.
From there, we bid the gracious staff adieu and headed towards Sugar & Spice for dessert.
Based on our visit, it would seem that 51 Wings may have… wings, meaning that they deserve a fighting chance. Don’t dismiss this part of Pittsburgh. Fly down to Area 51 and get your wing thing on.
P. S. 51 Wings delivers to Brentwood, Whitehall, Carrick, Overbrook, Brookline, Castle Shannon, Baldwin, Pleasant Hills, and parts of West Mifflin.
P. P. S. The wings we had reminded me favorably of an old recipe I found once for a «white» BBQ sauce, its main ingredient being mayonnaise.
