Happened to stumble upon this place while we were walking through Jack London Square. A person offered a sample to try, since we had just had lunch we were a bit hesitant to try but tried it anyways. After trying it we were really impressed with how flavorful and juicy it was. It's refreshing to have flavorful grilled wings vs the usual breaded deep fried wings. We ended up getting two boxes of Cajun and BBQ sweet swings to savor later. read more

The wings here are excellent! So far, we've tried the Cajun and Louisiana Hot Honey, and both were great. The wings are generously sized, juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. They're honestly some of the best wings I've ever had in the area. The service has been a little inconsistent. On one visit, our order was forgotten entirely, which resulted in a very long wait. That said, when one of the owners is there, they're fantastic. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their business. A couple of other things worth mentioning: the prices at the register were slightly higher than what was printed on the menu, and the space itself is pretty bare-bones, as is the menu itself. I'd recommend getting your wings to go for now rather than planning to dine in. Overall, the wings are absolutely the highlight, and they're good enough that we'll keep coming back. I expect the rough edges will get ironed out as they get more established. read more

Carlyle's Chicken Wings - 10 Louisiana hot honey wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Oakland, California

These wings are delicious! This was my third time eating here, and I had been looking forward to this meal: I fasted yesterday and planned my lunch of wings the night before. I almost deducted two stars for customer service. I arrived at 11:25 today, and the store still had not opened by 11:45. Shout out to Dominique from the Tracy store who saved the franchise for me. He had shown up to work and was also waiting outside when I walked up. When I told him I had to get back to my office for a noon meeting, he offered to deliver the wings there. What exceptional service! I'm so glad he did, because the wings did not disappoint. I will be back! read more

Carlyle's is a small town home grown business that sells nothing but wings...but in its own unique way. Sure dozens of places fry their wings, toss em in a trendy sauce to fit the month. Not here, they slow grill their wings in an enclosed gas grill. So it bakes but over live fire. I didn't taste any wood smoke so that's where I made an association with a gas grill method. They first marinade the wings in some rub. They call it a Cajun rub but to me it is a simple salty/very slight spice rub. Not as peppery as a blackened rub but maybe they cut their blend. But the seasoning totally penetrates the wings, not just on the exterior. Then it is slow grilled so the wings stays pretty juicy but does have a noticeable grill/bbq flavor. Not smoky but grill flavor, there is a difference. Some wings get more char, so as you eat multiples, there can be a nice mix of flavors and textures. It is a tad too salty for me so 3-4 wings is plenty for a sitting. But to pair with some steamed rice at home and a quick salad or slaw is a pretty solid meal in my book. They also offer several sauces that they can toss your wings in or get the sauce on the side. I prefer it on the side as I like a light drizzle over a saturation so I can still taste and feel the grill effects. I'm not sure what I received but I'm assuming it is the Louisiana Hot Honey. It is a very well made wing sauce, not just Franks Red Hot Sauce straight out of a bottle. This sauce has a silky emulsified texture, tang and heat from the base hot sauce and then just a touch of sweetness to balance everything out. Delicious in tandem with the grilled char that's achieved in the wings. The place is super bare bones not sure if they are still working on it. But I've always felt that if a place commits to a brick n mortar space then they should take the effort in creating a space that ties to their concept. They don't have that here and think they should. I'll be rooting for them and in the meantime I'll be grabbing some wings anytime I'm in the area. read more

Carlyle's Chicken Wings - Their grilled wings. Plated at home. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Oakland, California

Located in Jack London Square this new wing spot is a must!!! The wings were grilled to perfection. Tasted like something you'll only find at a BBQ!!! He let us sample the Cajun rub which was our favorite so we got 35 of those with the three other sauces on the side to tip in. The BBQ was my favorite and the BBQ + LLH was my boyfriend's favorite. You can dip it in the sauce or they give you boats/plates to pour on top. Either way it's amazing!!! The chicken wings were big, juicy and they cook it to a certain temp that gives the wings the perfect char you have ever tasted in your life!! Pricing was very reasonable and you get a lot for your money!! They're still opening and just got their liquor license so we are looking forward to coming back to grab some beers and watch a game with the view of the marina and water!! This place is such a vibe!! read more

I'm so excited to have a wings spot in Jack London Square! The location is currently pretty bare, but you can see the promise. When we walked in, the staff greeted us and were helpful in giving insight on the flavors. We got 15 wings with the hot honey BBQ mix. They have plenty of sauce to keep dipping between bites and the wings were fresh off the grill. We ate outside and enjoyed the waterfront. I hope they come out with a few more flavors as they establish themselves, but they're solid wings in a great spot! read more

I came across Carlyle's offering free samples at the Farmers market in Jack London on Sunday's. I was so happy to see a brick and mortar open up officially in Jack London a few weeks after that sample. My first time back I ordered the Louisiana Hot wings and was not disappointed. The wings were well seasoned, fresh off the grill and a great size. The owner is warm and friendly, with big plans to continue expanding the menu. I'm looking forward trying more flavors and dishes! read more

The wings are absolutely delicious, but what touched my soul even more was hearing the owner's inspiration for starting this business. His story, his love for his family, and the kindness of his father truly touched my heart. He is an amazing spokesman for his wings, and you can feel the passion and heart behind what he does. The Cajun rub is my personal favorite--it's flavorful, delicious, and honestly, that wing is therapy for my soul! Please support this business. You're not just supporting great food; you're supporting a dream, a family, and someone who is putting genuine heart into his community. Give them a try--you won't regret it! read more

You know it's serious when one bite at the farmers market turns into an instant craving! Tried Carlyle's chicken wings on a whim and got completely hooked. The dry rub flavor is absolutely delicious, the wings are perfectly crispy, and honestly... the price makes it even better. Sometimes the best finds are the ones you weren't even planning on! If you see them, don't think twice... just get the wings. Even without sauce they are finger lickin' good! read more

"Carlyle's Chicken Wings" at the Adeline Food Hall is serving up delicious BBQ chicken wings! They were offering a 25%-off discount on Doordash to try their wings, so I ordered a batch of 15-wings. They arrived hot, as if they just came off the grill. All the wings and little drums were soaking in a rich sweet bbq sauce. The wings were slightly charred, and had that bbq aroma. These chicken wings are legit! Look at my photos, that's bbq chicken! Carlyle's Chicken Wings at 5333 Adeline St is a ghost kitchen. Delivery or Pickup only. read more

Happened across them in jack London while walking. Oven baked. Nice flavor. Good quality chicken. Worth a visit.

Met the owner walking in Jack London on the way to lunch reservations and he was so sweet! Offered us free samples of the wings and they were bomb! I will deff be back to order a full meal. The staff was very nice and welcoming. They are newly opened and still need to do a bit of decorating, but the wings are a hit. read more

Amazing chicken wings for a great price- around $1 a wing. They marinate the wings in a peppery seasoning that gives you a little zing without upsetting the stomach. Juicy, fully cooked to the bone. Perfect. No extra sauce needed. The aunt does the main cashier front and the nephew is the grill master behind all of the genius. They are both always kind and friendly. I would make an order and go shop at the Tracy Farmers Market while waiting if it's a large order read more

Amazing wings but make sure to leave 25 minutes for the prep. We got a drink next door while we waited. Everything was cooked perfectly-- a char on the outside, still tender on the inside. Louisiana Hot Honey was my favorite. Both the fires and the tots were good too. read more

While taking a well deserved drink break at the Jack London Heinholds we noticed a QR code on the table that said "Order Grilled Wings Here". Have you ever noticed it's almost impossible to find grilled wings anywhere? We didn't want to miss the chance to try them... so we followed instructions and ordered. They actually came and delivered to our table the freshest, juiciest, most flavorful wings! Just perfection! They were so good we drove 45min there the next day to order the 50ct tray to serve to guests at our house for the Ryan Garcia fight. Everyone loved them! Make sure to try the sauces too, even though the wings are stand alone delicious! read more

Perfect grilled wings where the chicken itself is the star. My go to is 5 each of the sweet bbq and hot honey w/fries. Then dip the fries in the generous extra sauce. read more

Absolutely loved these chicken wings! The wings were juicy and packed with flavor--the kind that makes you stop mid-bite and go "wow." You can tell they're made with care, not rushed or generic. What really set Carlyle's apart, though, was the amazing service. Jamel was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely excited to make sure my crew and I had a great experience. Great service all around. If you're a wing lover, Carlyle's is a must-stop. I'll 100% be back for more! read more

My wife and I were lured into Carlyle's by the owner outside the restaurant offering free samples this morning. We went inside and I had what I felt were the best chicken wings I've ever tasted. Big pieces of meat, delicious flavoring, nice and warm and a wonderful staff made this feel like such a great "find". As a matter fact, we liked it so much, we picked up a 15 piece tray of wings to take home. Can't wait to dig in. read more

We grabbed this savoury wings before an Amtrak trip back from the Bay and oh yes did they deliver. Served hot, juicy, and flavour rich even before the sauce options get added. They have that crisp outdoor layer, the tender first bite, and the lick the last bits experience that makes for a perfect layered wing. Hot honey sauce added some zest. Two others flavours; wings are so good for that's just a bonus. read more

Disrespectful propane raw wings that were OVERLY salted. And again had the nerrrrve to be undercooked and tough, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO smoke a wing properly like we do down south. I had to airfry my wings for safety to taste them, but because they were overly salty but yet had no flavor (no garlic/ seasoning salt) no, SMOKED SOUTHERN FLAVOR they went straight to the trash can. Where they belong, because Carl lie's chicken are raw salty steroid cheap infused cancer chicken wings he serves RAW. read more

Don't miss this place. Grilled wings are a refreshing change from the fried wings you find everywhere else. The flavors really pop too. Looking forward to seeing what else they come up with as the menu grows. read more

Wings are delicious, we got three flavors and they were all great. Especially liked the hot honey ones!

Service was so amazing, hooked us up with all the fixing and made sure we were taken care of during the Super Bowl. We picked it up at the Adeline kitchen, the process was super seamless and we were in communication with the owner Jay the whole time. He made sure everything was ready for us on time. The wings were so good. We normally get Wingstop but it always makes you feel kind of sick after because they're fried with so much oil. These wings were grilled perfectly and so juicy on the inside. 10/10. Will be getting our next wings order from Carlyle's 100% read more
