Top 5 Wing Spots in Denton, TX
Everywhere I’ve lived, from New York City to Houston, Texas, I have sought out the best wings at the best places. It gives me comfort to know where I can go to get consistent service, quality and bargains. Also, an ice-cold beer doesn’t hurt.
Great location right on campus, so it’s perfect for between classes. Their “Wilson’s Wings” are breaded and large. The sauce isn’t too spicy and they don;t get the best crisp. They do come with vegetables, which is always a plus in my book.

Right on the Square, the Loophole is perfect for hanging out with friends, playing pool and watching sports. They have a pretty large craft beer menu, an Internet jukebox and still allow smoking — which is good and bad. The wings are super tangy and meaty. Try their garlic-parmesan fries, they’re killer! Be prepared to spend a little more dough for the wings though.
119 W Hickory St., Denton, TX 76201
Another place on campus, but this place is not your typical wing place. They serve Korean style wings, which means lots of unique spices and kimchi! Their Seoul Sauce the spiciest and the best, but try their Soul Teriyaki if you can’t handle the heat. The place lacks some atmosphere, but makes up for their quick service and good prices.

2) II Charlies
Owned by the same folks at Loophole, II Charlies has way better atmosphere, service and prices. During their Happy Hour from 2-8 p.m., their jumbo wings are 50 cents each. With only buffalo and garlic-parmesan to choose from, the guess work is done for you. The wings are large, gooey and perfectly cooked. This place is all-around fun and full of deals.
809 Sunset St., Denton, TX 76201
I know this place is a chain, but this location is very much a local hangout. The best part about this place is the welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic service. They have drink and food specials everyday, but Wednesday’s are my favorite — 59 cent wings and $1.89 domestic bottles. Their beer glasses are tundra-cold, perfect for pouring up an icey beer. Boomerjack’s is also home to my ultimate favorite wing sauce, Caribbean Jerk. Spicy, tangy and sweet. The notes of cinnamon and pineapple make your taste buds shout for joy.
407 W University Dr., Denton, TX 76201
