Had been in before but it had been a good while since stopping by. If you like anything wild and a little out of the ordinary, D-spot is for you. It is mainly a wing place, but you can get other things as well. There are SO many choices of wing flavors, you'll have a time picking one (or more) out. My absolute favorite is the Ben Grimm, a peanut sauce delight. We were swayed by a special red curry wing on our most recent visit and they were fantastic. I always have to get the fries here as the seasoning is to die for. The fry sauce is excellent as well. There are also several hot (HOT) flavors here if you are a spicy wing connoisseur as well. Something for everyone! read more

We went here on a Sunday for lunch. You find a table with a number and then order at the counter and give them your table number. It wasn't terribly busy when we got there but got super busy as we were there. They have a kids menu and my kids enjoyed the food. I don't like bone in wings so I didn't have any wings but the other adults I was with had a ton of flavors and said they were all super good! I got the chicken tenders and they were very good. The fries have a seasoning on them that is good but a bit spicy for kids. I also got the teriyaki sauce to dip my wings in and it wasn't my favorite. Their soda machine is all craft soda which was cool and the soda was really good! We will definitely be back to try more! read more

I have to drop it to 4 stars. The wait times are just getting silly. We took a break from coming for a year. Tonight there are about 5 tables waiting for food. We have been waiting well over 20 minutes. Beer is done and no food. You guys really need to fix this. 20 min is the the max. It is not full right now not even close. Still good wings and vibes but don't let it slip! read more

If you have young kids that scare easy don't go to the back seating area or the bathroom. The front might be more suitable. It's a self serve spot where you place your order in the front and get your beverages too. After you order they bring you the food. We got the black widow, magic dragon and the tarantula wings. The wings are fried to perfection. The sauce on each were great. The solidity on the magic dragon was different but good. It helped mellow out the heat. The tarantula was my favorite, sticky spicy and sweet. Will be going back to try there other flavors. read more

D-spot is a consistent go to for us. We've done pick up and dined in. Just be sure to check the hours, sometimes they close early, etc. My go tos (as a spice baby) are the Alfredo and the Honey bbq (I know I know, boring but delicious). Husband's go-to is the goat's blood, but he alwayand we always get the seasoned fries with extra Harissa Aioli - trust me. But truly, there's not much that can beat a quality chicken wing and beer! read more

Sky high prices / Mid wings Nothing special about the wings. They do have a lot of sauces which intrigued me. We wanted to try multiple since it was our first time but they are very inflexible. 4 normal wings for $14 and $8 for an extra sauce is outrageous. Got 4 sauces and would rate them 8/5/5/0. Go to Ray Js instead read more

Came here around six on a Wednesday, waited about 20 minutes for our meal, everything came out super good and as ordered... Four stars soley for the environment, it's a bit loud and chaotic inside. Definitely interesting inside, I'd say it's more of an adult atmosphere! Overall pretty good! We usually get take out from here and love it! read more

Best burger I've ever had. The fries have a secret seasoning salt blend that keeps you guessing with each bite. The soda fountain offers pleasingly whacky choices. My mister had the jerk wings and had no complaints. Service was set up a little weirdly. First you claim a table then queue up to order. Mister left the line and so our orders got separated-totally our fault. The owner was very sweet and apologetic about our gaffe. Ambiance: the decor was fun and quirky. Even though it was cold AF there was a little girl, her mom & dad and maybe a sibling outside selling Girl Scout cookies. The scout and her dad came through the bar yelling "LAST CALL" so we got hooked up with some of the good stuff. We noticed they had a patio and are looking forward to going back with the dogs some day. read more

(Last visited August 1st, 2024). This Yelp review has been long overdue... but it's time to finally write it and give D-Spot the recognition that they deserve. Here is why D-Spot is my favorite place to get wings... in the entire world... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set off the beaten path in a small city east of St. Paul called Oakdale, MN is this incredible establishment. It's in a strip mall connected to Cub Foods and several other smaller businesses with a pretty prominent standalone Taco Bell in the parking lot, but no matter. Owner/Chef Darin loves Halloween, scary movies and the like... So inside reflects that. Lol. Off to your left is the most, detailed display of skeletons and the like. The rest of the restaurant is pretty simple. There are 2 rooms, one of them bigger than the other, but the overflow room is often closed if it isn't that busy (rare). The tiled are a cream color and there's one long booth seat that runs along the right wall with adequate tables. In the extra room is a very cool logo and a live moss "painting". Energetic music comes thumping from the kitchen throughout the day. Service: There isn't much service, which makes this whole process much quicker and less involved. Once inside you'll see someone taking orders off to the left and then the wrap-around bar. Grab a menu that'll be laying on the counter, pick out your flavors and then place your food and drink order at the kiosk then go have a seat with the number that was given to you. The longest I've seen food take here for 45 minutes and even then, totally worth it, but it usually doesn't take that long. The staff are friendly and Darin, as well as his wife are both so sweet. They're kind and don't mind having a conversation with you. Just be aware that they close between 8:00pm and 9:00pm each day so that their staff can actually have lives. Food: So there are technically 6 categories of wings here. Yes, they sell other food as well, but one whole side of the menu is dedicated to these wings. Lol. So, there's the "Green Flame" which are the sauces/rubs that don't have heat at all. Next up is the "Yellow Flame" category. These will have a light kick of spice involved in the flavors. Above that is the "Orange Flame". These will have a moderate spice level. "Red Flame" is the category I enjoy most and where my favorite wing flavor of all time resides. These have a heavy spicy flavor as a part of the sauce/rub but isn't unbearable. Now it gets crazy... "Blue Flame" is where the spice can become intolerable to even some true heat seekers like myself. I've had 4 different flavors from this category and only 1 of them didn't make me cry/sweat. The category that isn't even on the menu is "White Flame". These are only available online and have to be pre-ordered because some of these flavors take up to 48 hours to make. Yes, I'm so serious. I have no plans on venturing to this category, but be my guest. There are also 3 secret menus in which special code words (which can be found hidden around the restaurant) must be uttered in order to access them. Darin, the chef must also be in the building to prepare them. I'll only discuss my favorite flavor sauce because I've been to D-Spot over 10 times and I live thousands of miles away from this place and have tried over 40 flavors here. Volcano... from the red flame category is the perfect blend of curry flavors, Buffalo and heat. That's all I'm going to say. Plus, if you get access to the secret menus, the wings become more than just sauces and seasonings... they become entrees and events... Value: The wings here are pricy, but it is what it is. Depending on the category they can range from $10.50 for 6 to $18.00+ for 4 (Blue Flame). The spicier they are, the rarer the pepper so yeah, you gotta pay to play, but it's so worth it to have such incredible creations. In conclusion, D-Spot will forever be my favorite wing spot in the entire world. I have yet to see someone dethrone them, but some have come close. However, whenever I'm in the Minneapolis area, I will absolutely stop in because... well.. I have to! I hope you do as well. read more

This place is interesting. They have a metal vibe with a backroom seemingly out of a haunted house. Ordering is counter service. Their fountain soda is a local soda company + diet coke. The portions were small, 6 wings for $10.99 with no accompanying ranch or blue cheese. We ordered the jerkalo and asked to have the sauce on the side, and were charged $6 for a side of sauce. The flavors were delicious, but the price and vibe were not for me. read more

D Spot Wings is hands-down one of the best places I've ever eaten. The food is AMAZING -- and the variety is unreal. Whether you're craving wings, burgers, sandwiches, or even brunch, they have so many options and everything is packed with flavor. You can tell real care goes into every dish. Chef Darin is truly one of a kind. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also one of the nicest people you'll meet. He always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience, and that kind of genuine hospitality is rare. If you haven't tried D Spot yet, you are seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor and go -- you won't regret it! read more

Oh. My. Gosh. As I write this, my tongue is burning, my nose is running, and I might be sweating. And I LOVE it. This place has been in my radar for a long time but I never find myself on the east side of the twin cities. This weekend my world changed. I'll never be able to look at BWW the same. The only negative... choosing your wings. I should've asked for one of every flavor I got the honey BBQ (my safe play/comfort zone), the wombat, and the brimstone. I should've skipped the honey BBQ and gotten another wild/fun option. All three were bomb. So good. The wombat was my favorite of the three. Good heat level and awesome flavor. I HAD to try one from the "hot" category and the brimstone didn't disappoint. Very warm. I'm wondering what the witch doctor hits like and I'm almost a little scared. I get the "wild" and the hotter options at BWW and this place puts them to shame. If you're a wing person - make the pilgrimage to your new wing Mecca - DSpot! read more

Amazing food and friendly staff with great prices. A must visit on a budget for tasty food.

It's a little speedy, but worth it. The impossible burger is a winner! In fact, it's all a winner - this place has good food - down to the fries. Welcoming vibe, good service, this is one of my favorite spots. Also, the owner seems to genuinely care about the staff and helping people out. Ive seen him in action. That means something to me read more

Great spot for wings! Be warned they are not playing with their hot wings!! My favorites are the Ben Grim and Pete's Dragon. Their fries are solid especially with the Harissa Aioli dipping sauce. The wings are super saucy and meaty. Chef D is a genius in the kitchen and everything he puts out is pure gold. The spot has lots of seating and the staff is always helpful. Usually busy but worth the wait. read more

Holy shit, these wings are addictive. I highly recommend their "Puff the Magic Dragon" wings and the seasoned fries, literally worth the 1hr+ drive every time. I tried the "Rise of the Phoenix" last time, and my god, did they ground me. Super spicy, but amazing at the same time. Best wings in the state for sure. read more

Wow- not only are the wings great but so are the burgers! Service here is great, welcoming and always ready for the busiest moments. Although it looks small, there is plenty of seating in the building and at the bar. They also have a wonderful drink selection. read more

Yes it's a bar, yes the ambiance is utilitarian, and yes it's expensive. Well this is a WING joint. Period. And it's the best wing joint in the entire metro, hands down: City Pages People's Choice multiple times! Why is it the best? Their wings are chef made, and they have 91 flavors. Yep you read that right. I actually counted: from "safety first" to "just a tiny kick," "it's getting hot in here, "yikes now that's hot," and "you've been warned." Well they used to have a hot license requirement to order the hottest ones, and for better or worse, they removed the requirement. I'd say if you can't eat an Habañero pepper raw, or don't even know how to pronounce said pepper, then do not order from the "Hot" list. You've been warned. Rest assured though if you aren't into hot and spicy, a full HALF of the list fall in the no heat to little heat categories. They are guaranteed to be the most flavorful wings you've ever tasted. I got the War Hammer tonight. It's a sweet chili with jerk. To me they're just about a 4 out of 10 in heat level, and they we rated "it's getting hot in here." But then I'm probably the wrong judge as I have dried Reaper powder in my pantry just for fun. The fried are delectable: crispy, well-seasoned, and the aeoli dipping sauce is wonderful. For beer lovers they have a ton of MN microbrew on tap. For soda lovers they have the local craft Minnesoda and Jones at the fountain! Yum. And for the straight laced they do have Diet Coke as well. If you're a wing nut this is a pilgrimage. 'Nuff said. read more

The executive chef, and co-owner. Darren drives the bus to Flavortown. His unique culinary skills create a wider array of mouthwatering flavors. The wings are always hot, juicy and provide an exceptional feast. Unfortunate that the patio was not open when we were there, and that they had taken away stools from the bar to create an extended service area. I really like sitting at the bar, but I would sit on a curb to eat those wings. I love the graffiti vibe on the walls in the back room and the bathroom.. don't just go there for the wings, though, as Darren has exhibited his talent across the menu. The seasoning on their french fries is outstanding! The fried chicken sandwich is outstanding. If you're lucky, you can order some tarantula sauce for the chicken sandwich and eat your way into Heaven! read more

This place has the best food no matter what you order!! I would give it a 10 out of 10 if I could! The owners Darin and Stacey are truly the kindest and most generous people I have ever known! If you want amazing food give it a try! You will not be disappointed!! read more

D-Spot has been on my bucket list for years and their insanely large selection of flavor and heat options did not disappoint. We got Witch Doctor and one other (delicious and saucy I just can't recall which!) and some fries. Fries were great, the seasoning on them is so unique- you get a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg or something. I'm a little surprised they don't offer gloves with some of the spice levels they have and with how saucy some of the wings are. Tbh I think it would make them a little extra if they sold a pair of gloves for a dollar or something. We ended up waiting to finish the Witch Doctor wings til we got home and had our gloves to protect our fingers and avoid later getting the oils etc in our eyes or something. Definitely will be back again- unique atmosphere for sure. read more

My husband and I have been going to D-Spot for a while. My all-time favorite is Darin's off menu wings called "STD." The place is always packed, service is great, and the staff is friendly. I appreciate the staff letting us know of the time it would get our wings today. I posted a picture of their special wings as of 10/22/23. We ordered NYPD, Mojave desert, and Marley. Neither of the 3 were spicy, which is perfect for me since I normally eat the wings with green label and rarely a yellow. My husband does blue wings. But I like the 3 special wings available. They were full of flavor. Marley had a strong smoky flavor, which I also liked. Mojave desert is great too, light color sauce. NYPD has ranch and blue cheese sauce, which was delicious, although my husband used the sauce our fried cheese curds! Overall, amazing wings as always. Creepy Halloween decoration by the ladies bathroom, but overall good place to go. read more

D-spot - Special menu as of 10/22/23 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Oakdale, Minnesota

My wife and I stopped her for a semi-early dinner before going to a concert at the Myth in Maplewood. And after trying this for the first time, this might become a new tradition whenever a show worth seeing out that way happens again. You'll probably end up doing what we did, grabbing a menu and studying it for awhile, narrowing down your wing flavor choices before heading up to order. We got a few different wings to try (Muay Thai, Pete's dragon and the jerk dry rub), a fuh burger, fries and coleslaw all to share. The fries and wings were definitely the stars of the show here! The staff were super friendly and helpful the entire time. Very family friendly atmosphere, cool horror themed decor and blacklight graffiti all over, definitely a unique vibe. Highly recommend as there isn't much like this in the area or south metro by us for that matter. read more

Best wings with the most varied flavors in town. Purple wings are ultra hot which can be hard to find in the Twin Cities. I recall once the person I was with did not want any sugar, so the owner came in early to make her a custom rub. First of all, it was not worth the wait, most of the rubs are lower in sugar, but I was still impressed with their willingness to do it. They can definitely get busy but the staff is always very pleasant to work with. It is counter service. read more

We tried 6 of the flavors out of 80 loll EVERYTHING was so delicious. Will definitely go back!

We didn't love the ambiance but the wings made up for it. This is our second time and they are very consistent! Service is limited because you order and then sit but they were friendly and food was prompt. The wing flavors are overwhelming but the three we picked were delicious. We got country fried (get the gravy also!), spicy bbq and tarantula! We also got the fries and onion rings (all very good)! Only issue is that they have weird soda options and I wish they had a full Coca-Cola line up. read more

What else is there to say besides terrific food. Terrific service. Terrific new location! Keep in mind? I also really like the old place too. Very cool vibe. I really like the wombat wing flavor and that's about as hot as I go. My oldest son goes for all the BLISTERINGLY hot dangerous ones and his fave? THE WITCH DOCTOR. Hottest wing on the menu and I believe him when he says "Whew! Yeah. THAT's HOT" read more

These wings were fire! So so good!! My hubby and I went on a date night here before going to the myth nearby for a concert. We tried 3 different wing combinations, and we couldn't even pick a favorite. The dry rub was jerk seasoning and we did two kinds with curry and pb, yum! I would have loved to try the dessert flavored wings, but ran out of room. They offer so many flavors. The burger and seasoned fries were good, but the wings are definitely where it's at. The server we had was sooo kind and kept checking on us which was great. read more

We gave this another try. First time was probably at least 5 years ago, wasn't impressed then, tonight sealed the deal. Wings are rubbery, sauce is just poured on. Anybody can do that. Wings should be tossed in the sauce and then baked or broiled to seal in the flavor and crisp them up. One of the 3 types we ordered was cold, another was like warm. Onion rings came out 15 minutes before the wings, so sat to get cold. Music is weird, I think different songs, but same head pounding techno beat. Super annoying, and too loud. Very dark, and back dining area had a satanic face painted on the wall. Concerning. Restroom doors had pieces of paper with handwritten 'Men' or 'Women', and only cold water to wash sticky sauce off your hands. Nice. Gave it another fair try. No need to ever return. read more

No need to order wings from anywhere else ever again. If they don't have the flavor you're looking for you don't need it. Extensive wing menu that would take any human being ages to conquer/try them all. The wings are big and juicy no matter what sauce or dry rub they're covered in. Try em all, you won't regret it read more

Food is always bomb but I stood in line waiting to order . As I get to the front after watching another person place a to go order . The lady tells me "oh you have to enter here " I'm sure she saw me standing there but she didn't tell the white woman ahead of me to go to the end of the line . I've been here a gazillion times and now all of a sudden I have to go to the end of line , when you use to just be able to walk to the front and order. People make sh$$ so complicated. How about hiring More competent staff instead of 1 person taking 50 people's orders . You got two registers so use them read more

I've made a lot of poor choices in my life... one of those is not coming to D-spot wings A LONG TIME AGO. Good lord the food was magnificent. Flavor-well she came to the party and took center stage, and left without her shirt on. We had Alfredo wings- crispy roasted garlic bits anyone??- a HUGE burger that was flavor bomb, cheese bomb, fried egg bomb and tomato aioli (YAASSS!) Ambiance- original artwork, black everything, the red light over the changing table in the bathroom made me feel like I was changing Satans diapers (love). And the staff?? Knowledgeable, helped us order, offered suggestions, acknowledged us coming in AND leaving. Don't make the same mistake I did and make D-Spot a part of your life tonight! read more

This was my first restaurant experience in Minnesota. I came with a group of 6. We ordered then found a table and waited almost an hour on a Friday night for our food. We ordered 2 fries, 1 cheese curd, and a massive amount of wings. I believe we had about 10 flavors and they were all good! I was truly surprised. The size of the wings were great as well. We have a vegetarian in our group and he got the vegetarian wing option. He said the breading was flavorful, but a bit salty. We were all very pleased with our meals. My favorite flavors were the original Buffalo. Is could've been slightly spicier for me but the tangy was great. Twist(lemon pepper) this is the first time I had a dry rub that had some char on the wing and I was in heaven. I would order these every time. Kamikaze was a prior sweet and spicy. It was a good balance. But honestly, all 10 flavors were good so I don't think you could go wrong with any option. I'll be back. read more
