I had high hopes of BSBs as there are lots of positive Yelp reviews. I was really excited to try their sauces. I ordered my wings on doordash & I was so disappointed that they only included one sauce for a large amount of wings especially after I asked for 2 sauces. Second, the sauce that was one of their best sellers, Talk of Beaver Falls, was just meh. The wings arrived hot, yet were missing the crunch factor & they were dry as hell. I wouldn't recommend BSB. read more

Over priced, dry , stringy wings. Ugh never again. Only buy If looking to disappointing your friends on game day

Best wings around. Soooo many flavors. Funky sandwiches and plenty of other options on the menu.

This is THE spot!!!! We go here at least once a month, and especially when we have family in town or are throwing a party. There are a zillion flavors, and I haven't had one I don't like. There is something for everyone here. The wings are huge!! Both the boneless and bone-in. Don't go anywhere else for wings, because there is nowhere better! My family from out of town tells me all the time they wish this was by them! read more

Yum! Can you ever go wrong with a basket full of BSB wings?? With so many flavor options, you'll never get bored going back time and time again. This time we went for eye of the tiger (hot and tangy with ranch) and playmaker (butter, seasoning and parm, with ranch and mild buffalo). Both were super tasty, packed with flavor, and did not disappoint. We found them to be especially good together as they balanced each other out. We got our take out and couldn't wait to pop these wings in our salivating mouths, so we ate them right there in the car, sitting in the parking lot. Not even ashamed. read more

Been here twice now. Excellent portions, lots of sauce on the wings and great flavors. Couldn't ask for a better place to get wi

This place is my FAVORITE place for wings. They have sooo many flavors which may seem a little overwhelming but my goal is to try as many as my palette allows!! So this most recent time I ordered Ace Boogie & Lil Broski. Always get them well done! Ace Boogie is definitely a savory flavor, salty, dry ranch, lots of flavor and the butter adds a little bit of moisture. I ALWAYS get these. Then I tried Lil Broski for the first time & these exceeded my expectations. Now they are sweet, but it was the perfect balance with the other wings. So they taste like honey & brown sugar, so if you don't like sweet probably not for you, but these will be another of my go-tos I cannot stop thinking about them. My boyfriend always gets the signature hot, he even buys the sauce for other dishes I cook. read more

Start with the good: The food was excellent, I had the Panko Chicken Sandwich, panko breaded chicken breast (crispy!), Ciabatta roll, bacon, Pepper jack, American Honey bourbon chipotle remoulade, lettuce & tomato. Yummy and crispy. My wife had the Homemade Chicken Tenders (Single) (person that is!) 4 large, crispy, and tasty tenders! Both came with the House Spiced Fries (Miami spice?), they too were excellent. More good: great beer selection! Now the bad, the beer was warm. I had a Helles and my wife had a Hefe, and they were 65° at least. Oh well. Waitress was nice and the place was laid-back. I'd go back. read more

FIRE! if you want the absolute best burger and wings in your life this is the place. Just to give you a perspective, we ordered a bacon cheeseburger, 15 boneless wings and loaded bacon cheese and ranch tater tots and came less to than $35!! The portions are beyond massive! The service was also awesome! Nice bunch of dudes, very chill and super polite. This place is for takeout only, but if you want some unreal food on a hot Saturday night, this is your place! Cannot express enough how great their food is! read more

Love these wings! Perfectly cooked, awesome sauces and flavors. EXACTLY what I wanted!!!!

Sometimes you need a specialist. Or at least a business with a specialty. You will find that at Bob's. They mostly do wings, and they do them well. Their very first sauce they sold was "The Talk of Beaver Falls." It's still their best seller, and for good reason. But Black Magic is a contender, especially if you like spicy. If you like perennial favorites, try the Garlic Parm. Bob's does mostly takeout and delivery. Their store is small, and it can get hot inside with all the ovens. But their service is friendly and quick. I was surprised that each location has a different owner. So maybe Bob's is a franchise? The wings are meaty, substantial and filling. There are plenty of flavors to please any palate. That makes this place a winner! read more

If you knock back a "Big Shot" before you drive here, you're likely to end up with a DUI and no driver's license. Even a "Little Shot" of something delicious like Bailey's, is a bad idea. I recommend "No Shot" at all, despite the misleading and troublemaking business name which is counter-productive as it leads to many customers ending up in State Pen. I'd rather be in Penn State than State Pen. Although it's a close contest. What to get: Wings (Old Bay - Wet) Just as good as the ones at the other location I've been to (further North in Coraopolis), these are simply the best wings I've ever had outside of Buffalo (the home of wings, and rightly so). In fact, were they in Buffalo, they'd be one of the best wing spots there too, believe it or not. They're not just the best in Pitt.. they're some of the best anywhere. I've yet to try the 3rd location (Carnegie) but based on the first two (Coraopolis and now Avalon), it's likely to be just as perfect. I highly recommend you get the Old Bay, Wet. Which means they are dripping in butter (shush, if you're eating wings you're not eating healthy anyway so get over it and let your heart worry about it), and seasoned to perfection with dark delicious maroon-crimson-reddish Old Bay seasoning. Every wing will rock your world, and you'll wish you had ordered more. Speaking of which, I love that they'll make you just 5 wings (for 6 or so dollars) instead of making you order a full 10 (like most wing places in Buffalo do). If Old Bay isn't your thing, they have, ooh, about 50 other combinations for you to choose from. Take it from this connoisseur... these are some of the best wings you'll ever eat. So when your friends say "where are the best wings in town?" and some fool offers up suggestions such as Hooters or BW3 (eww), then learn from that Richard Dreyfus movie and scream out "WHAT ABOUT BOB'S?" And forget Bobbing for Apples. From now on, when we Bob, we Bob at Bob's for Wings. End of. read more

Wing lovers rejoice! Not only are BSB's wings huge, but you could really never tire of their multitude of strange sauces. And, they deliver! Praise the wing Gods. Having to admit that the delivery guy knows me, and my dog on a personal level is kinda embarrassing, but once you eat from here, you'll know why I love it. My go to is either "Eye of The Tiger", a sweet, peppery medium sauce, or "Pigeon Sauce" a nice, easy mild sauce with parmesan cheese. I've tried some of their other sauces, but these two are perfection on a wing. I've gotten their Steak hoagie, and Italian hoagie, both are great, but they're called a "House of Wings" for a reason. You can't beat their wing and hoagie special, though, if you're trying to feed a few friends! Don't plan on stopping in here and chowing down, they barely have enough room for themselves to cook, let alone you to come in and eat! Just call them and let their amazing delivery team take care of you, and tip them well. Happy Eating! read more

Today was an exciting day folks.. we ordered lunch from Big Shot Bobs. It was hard to decide with - what 100 flavors on the menu! Of course I did my research on yelp and read up on some reviews and I took my top five and just picked two at random to try. "Talk of Beaver Falls" - Hot and Tangy. This blend was definitely my favorite..raise the roof! Its true to the name and flavor was very original .. go ahead Big Shot Bobs. These are NOT for sharing that's for sure and I am not sorry. I loved to dip my french fries in the left over sauce. I will never forget those wings. "William Henry Harrison" - Jamaican Jerk and Parmesan Cheese. Very interesting and flavorful however - the wings were in at least an inch of sauce and most of it was butter. and I also tried " Black Frank White" Franks Red Hot and Ranch and Black Magic Seasoning. I was quite intriqued to find out what this seasoning was all about since its peppered throughout the menu. I think it's a blend of seasoned salt and maybe two other spices. Definitely interesting and tasty. The are a dry rub and the franks red hot and ranch combination.. is what ...a match made in heaven of course. The bed of fries were interesting .. the wings are served on top of the fries. What a fun and clever idea! After learning that a plain side of fries is just "meh". I love my wings crispy and well done and this is how the wings are delivered.. horray There is more to the menu than just wings.. salads and sandwiches and when was the last time you saw "Sloppy Joe's" on a menu!! Love it. I am no doubt very impressed.... Thanks Big Shot Bobs!!! read more

Loved their wings when they won King of the Wing a few years ago and am finally at the original to see how much better they have gotten. Damn, this place has a TON of flavors! I ordered Jamaican Frank (a spicy Jamaican jerk), All In (dry rub) and Cool Runnings (Jerk with a Ranch drizzle). The wings were huge, crispy and juicy inside. My fav was the Cool Runnings because the wings were cooked absolutely perfect. My wife loved the All In dry rub. If we didn't have SO many 'wing nights' here in South Side, we'd be here MUCH more often. DELICIOUS...! BTW- this place is TAKE OUT ONLY. Keep that in mind when ordering your wings. To be continued... read more

If you are looking for a variety of flavors to choose from for your chicken wing fantasy, then BSBs is the spot. Unfortunately, I tend to feel overwhelmed by all the options and settle on something that is close to my usual wing order. The sauce is good and the wings are fine. Honestly, I think there is nothing spectacular about BSB's wings to warrant the high price for wings. In general, I'm also quite satisfied with a more reasonably priced wing from somewhere with fewer flavor options. read more

Had to create a Yelp account just for this place. I'm from Cali and my buddy came across this place after the Pirates game. I almost didn't want to stop by, but I'm glad we did. These are the best wings I've ever had. It's a little hole in the wall spot, but they wings are amazing. Living in Cali, I've only ever been to Wingstop. Those are also good, but not as good now compared to these. I couldn't stop eating them. The Buck Nasty, California Love (had to have these), Talk of Beaver Falls and Frank White are the flavors we tried and they did not disappoint. They have plenty more flavors to choose from so I'm already looking forward to my next trip to try some more out, and you better believe I will be back. Big thanks to Matt and crew for the warm hospitality. They were very friendly and welcoming. Definite pros at their craft. read more

First time ordering after a friend recommended them, and was glad to find out that they deliver to West View. Decided to order two dozen wings including Lady Luck (buffalo with ranch seasoning) and Pigeon wings on a bed of fries. Wings were a nice size and came with a LOT of sauce, which is not a bad thing. As is the case with any delivery or takeout wings, they didn't arrive very crispy. Not much you can do about that. Lady Luck were particularly good as the buffalo sauce was very good. Look forward to trying some other flavors. read more

So I am a lil sissy with wet wings... so we asked for the best to two dry rubs.. caption inferno & black magic (black magic I loved.. inferno SURE SNEAK UP ON U! kinda smelled like the OLD Old Bay seasoning in my grandmas spice Cabniet ) Than they gave up 2 orders for free to try- black gold and talk of beaver falls..

Anything on the menu is great. Personally I recommend the wings and there's a massive variety of flavors, so anyone can find a flavor they will love. read more

Wide selection of flavors. Mediocre wings typically undercooked. Numerous locations for convenience if you're in a jam.

I tried this place based on a recommendation and it was just below ok. I ordered 6 Ain't My Faulk wings, 6 Pigeon Wings, and loaded bacon, ranch and cheese fries. The wings were a good size but not seasoned well, as in one side was unseasoned and the other had a ton of season. Spreading out the seasoning may have changed my experience. The fries were good, really good, but absurdly massive. It was big enough for 4 people, atleast. read more

Always good wings , crispy and saucy . Try the uncle Rico's flavor! You won't be disappointed

The flavors are plentiful but these wings always seem to be dry ... I'm not sure if this is by design but they do cook these wings in one of those deep fry things you see for French fries ... so maybe that's why they are always so dry and yea crispy ... I think that maybe some people like dry wings but I don't .. don't of the flavors were ok though read more

Not just great wings with creative flavors, BSBs has great sandwiches and burgers. Highly recommend the Big 'Ern McCracken the Monster Bob, and the bacon bacon bacon lettuce and tomato read more

Food is always great! Service is too. Delivery is quick and efficient. Always a favorite of ours when we don't want to cook!

I stopped by here recently with my wife and father in law for dinner. We have been to big shot bobs many times now and for some reason I have yet to write a review. This big shot bobs is the original one and was started in 2007. It fits the "hole in a wall" description very well as this location is take out/delivery only and has space for maybe 3 people in front of the counter. It is decorated quite interestingly with random posters along the wall and a number of Pirates bobblehead boxes near the cash register. On this occasion whenever I called in I was quoted 30 minutes before they were ready and we arrived shortly around that time to find our order already finished. I think that I spent a total of 3 minutes inside this establishment before heading home with our food. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with 6 Walk of Beaver Falls wings on a bed of fries. Yes you can do that and the fries are tossed with the wing sauce too! If you look at the menu you will see the Walk of Beaver Falls described as the Talk of Beaver Falls only hotter. Then if you look at the Talk of Beaver Falls you will see that it is hot and tangy. A lot of the Wing sauces on the menu are the same way with some that you have to look at 4 different flavors before you find out what it is. While this annoys me at times it may very well be the only thing that annoys me about Big Shot Bob's. Their wings are absolutely delicious and this time was no exception. They are always on the larger side for wings and are juicy and fried perfectly. Big Shot Bobs wing sauces are also always good and they certainly have enough of them. My Walk of Beaver Falls ended up reminding me of the Louisiana Lickers sauce from Quaker State only a lot hotter, exactly as described. It thoroughly coated both the wings and the fries which was awesome since I loved the flavor. The only downfall to getting the fries coated in the sauce is that they tend to get a little bit soggy. However I would rather have my Big Shot Bob's fries coated in sauce and a little bit soggy than crispy without any sauce. By the end of my meal my mouth was on fire and I was pleasantly full. The bottom line for me is that I will continue to head here again in the future. Big Shot Bobs has what I would consider to be the best wings in Pittsburgh so if you haven't had them before you should get there and try them. read more

Updating original BSBs to 5 stars. Still best wings in Pittsburgh. Maybe contender for one of the best wing places anywhere dare I say? Note: Only get OGBSB in Avalon. They have franchised out to Bloomfield and Southside, and those locations are pale imitations. Sorry if that hurts their overall expansion plans, but it's true. I live closer to both of those locations, but still make the hike to Avalon anyway. read more

The Original Big Shot Bob's is just that - original. On the menu, you will find a plethora of wing flavors to satisfy your every craving, and the staff is constantly experimenting and trying new flavors. They also offer a good mix of sandwiches, hoagies, and appetizers, so chances are you can find whatever you're hungry for. Also, be sure to grab a bottle of their famous Talk of Beaver Falls sauce. It's on the front counter. read more

So after a few months in the burgh and seeing big shot bobs get good ratings I finally decided to make the drive and give em a try. I went in a little overwhelmed by the 200 flavors of wings to choose from so I took the easy way out and got the most popular. Talk of beaver falls, I don't know where beaver falls is bt they have good wings. It was a kind of hot honey mustard taste that I was surprised I liked because I hate honey mustard. These were different tho. The thing that stood out the most to me was the service u recieved. Knowing I was new to the spot they gave me about 10 wings free in my bag just for me to try and see what I liked.the wings they included were the jumping jimmys. Which is basically hot wings and ranch mixed together. It was my favorite. They also included black magic which seemed to be seasoned with old bay. Interesting but still tasty. Being from the south hospitality trumps everything. I will definitely be back. read more

Big Shot Bob's is a dominant wing shop. It's a small hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere next to a gas station that has no seating so it's all pickup/delivery. Something like 150 different flavors, and the wings aren't breaded so they have that nice crispy shell on the outside. I tried the honey garlic, BIGFINEWOMAN2000, and the garlic butter parm (my favorite of the 3). I would definitely come back. read more

I am not embarrassed to admit that I eat Big Shot Bob's wings some times twice a week. My fav are the old bay wet. Which is old bay seasoning and butter. Best words to discribe this place finger licking good. They have a special here, I thinks it 6 orders of wings and a 2 liter for 21.00, or something like that. The lemon pepper parm or a second favorite. Lemon juice, peppercorn and parmesan. The flavor combinations are very creative, and orginal. They have flavor combinations that I would never have even thought. The jerk wings are good too. The food as always delieverd on time. They normally set an expecation of 1 hour deliever. I haven't had any bad experience with them coming later than that. read more
