We heard these were the best wings in Seattle, so we had to check it out. The rumors are true, and I'm obsessed now. We tried the hot buffalo, flavor of the week (pumpkin bbq), and lemon pepper, as well as Vindicktive fries. The wings were crisp and sauced to perfection, and they come with delicious house made blue cheese dressing. We're also big fans of the house lager. I'm usually not much of a beer drinker (I'm good with a few sips from my bf's), but this one just pairs so well with the wings that I had to order one for myself. We arrived at the tail end of a Buffalo game, so it was pretty crowded, but we were still able to get a table and the vibe was really fun. Buffalo fans are cool as hell - everyone was really friendly, including staff, even though I was decked out in Eagles gear. I wasn't sure we'd be able to watch my game because it was on at the same time as the Seahawks, but they were able to put it on for us (much appreciated!!). Eagles game + best wings ever + beers = super happy campers over here. This was a stellar way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and we've been dreaming of those wings all week. We'll be back this weekend! read more

Vindicktive Wings - Hot Buffalo, flavor of the week (pumpkin bbq), Vindicktive fries, and Vindicktive lager. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love this place. Great, lively, and fun place for for Happy Hour or drinks. Great staff and patrons in this noisy, lively place. Get a boilermaker. I suggest you follow their recommendation and get a High Life and a Fernet shot. So good. The bathroom is over the top Christmas decorated and Christmas music playing loud. So random. Just like a bar in belltown should be! Go to a show at the croc and meet up with your friends here before or after and have a true Seattle experience.

A friend recommended this as a nice late night spot in Belltown. Located conveniently close to a few clubs such as Ora, you can just walk less than a block and get some above average food. We got the 12 piece wings which was $18 before tax and tip. Kinda pricey for the amount you get as the wings are really tiny. I opted for buffalo medium and lemon pepper, and I liked both flavors. Buffalo is usually not my first choice but given how many people ordered it here, it must be good, and I must say, it is really solid and pairs extremely well with the blue cheese sauce they give. Buffalo and blue cheese is much better than buffalo and ranch for me. The lemon pepper is also really delicious. The wings were small and crispy, so there is some nice flavor going on, but it could be hard to chew for those that were thinking of the typical wings. You seat yourself, order at the bar, and they deliver the food to you. Fairly fast casual format, and it does take a while to get the wings, about 15-20 minutes, so plan ahead. read more

Wings were great! They are the size that regular chicken not on steroids should be! Felt better about eating all twelve. Fries were great! Lively atmosphere and very busy at times especially when games are on. Service when they were packed took about 20 minutes. I will be back. So glad I didn't go to a mainstream wing shop with poor service and bad food. read more

Literally the best wings ever! And the drinks rocked too!!! Will definitely come back when we are back in Seattle.

Love their wing Wednesdays, only constructive criticism I'd have to give them is that they could give more of their blue cheese dip with 12 wings. I'm going through that first cup in 4 wings. As well as making the wet wings wet and dry wings dry if you know what I mean. Keep it up with the good beer options and the ever changing wing options. Good positive environment, just wish that the sumo videos weren't on a loop, haha. Service is always good, they're very attentive to their customers. read more

Visiting Seattle and was Craving wings specifically! Looked on Google and this place popped up first. Looked and the Reviews and pictures and I was Sold! Wednesday night they have a special so when we showed up around 6pm it was an hr wait. But..... they have some arcade games upstairs to kill time which was super cool! We got sat and tried the wings that are available on Wednesday and man! Some of the best wings I've had in my life! And coming from the Restaurant industry I was more impressed with how they were cracking out orders and perfectly cooked wings with how packed the place is! Definitely 5 Stars! The place itself is cool and would definitely be back if ever in town again! read more

I'm on the hunt for the best spicy hot wings in Seattle, after seeing positive reviews and reading some paid content promos I decided to give this place a try. It was a disappointment. I won't be back but encourage others to try and see for yourself. PROS: - downtown location with plenty of paid street parking and open late night - reasonable prices and solid menu - good servers they pay attention and were polite - the wings were well prepared, I found them to be meaty. I should also add that big wings don't equal big flavors. - I liked that they have a reaper spicy sauce option. - easy going and chill spot where you can seat yourself. It's just another typical sports bar. CONS - the mango habanero was not spicy at all. It looked like they forgot to add sauce to my chicken wings because this can't be it. After all that extra fire emojis next to the mango habanero sauce on their menu, my wings lacked seasoning. The fries were equally under salted. - They don't seem to do wet sauce. I like my wings crispy covered in sauce with a smoky taste to them. This place had none of those qualities. The entire experience was forgettable. read more

Wings and service great. Ketchup (spoilt) and Diet Coke (flat) not so great. I came for the wings so was really happy with my lunch. Space is dark but a lot of people on a late Friday afternoon. Good music. And did I mention how good the wings are? I've been making them at home since I can't find a decent wing to save my life. This place changes things. read more

Probably my fave place to go weekly for wings can't beat $1 wing Wednesday. No ranch but blue cheese is way better anyway. If you do go Wednesday keep in mind it gets packed and it's from 7-close I think. Also offer is only valid for dine in read more

The best wings I've ever had! Crispy, saucy, perfection. The blue cheese was also really good and they play the best music. Ufff, I'll be back for more. Cool bartenders too! read more

While on vacation we found ourselves in a pickle late at night and worst of all, hungry. Vindicktive Wings was one of the options that we came across during our search and I don't think we could have stopped at a better place to eat.  First, the service was AMAZING. Mike was the one who served us and turned our moods around immediately. He was kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful.  Secondly, the food? The wings were incredible. In fact, I am missing them right now and halfway across the country. Please Vindicktive Wings consider shipping as an option for your carryout? In all seriousness, I had the lemon pepper wings, the buffalo wings, and the fries, and would highly recommend everything. They also do not serve ranch, which I thought would be an issue, but the blue cheese was unique and delicious in addition to their wings.  Lastly, the vibe. I am normally overwhelmed when music is played at restaurants, however, the level of the volume was just the right amount to where I could enjoy the music and my conversation too. The restaurant has front windows that open completely to let in the nighttime breeze. The restrooms are worth an honorable mention too- but not for the reason you would think (you'll have to check it out yourself.)  I will never stop recommending Vindicktive Wings to anyone who comes close to Seattle - so if you're in the area check it out. If you live near here and have never been, you better get to trying this place out asap and consider yourself lucky that you have such an amazing wing place by you. read more

Vindicktive Wings - Buffalo (half with sauce, half without) , Lemon Pepper, famous Blue Cheese, and Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Favorite wings! Love the lemon pepper and the blue cheese dressing it comes with! Overall great atmosphere! Good wings and drinks.

Absolutely incredible experience at Vindicktive Wings! After a comedy show, we were on a mission for some late-night wings, and this place delivered in every way. Despite it being a VERY busy Saturday night (with both a game and a show happening in Seattle), the staff was unbelievably accommodating. The bartender immediately directed us to a server who got our takeout order in and out within 15 minutes--super impressive given how packed it was! Now, onto the wings: 8/10, some of the best we've had. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and even the blue cheese--something we normally avoid--was surprisingly amazing. Service? 100/10. They made us feel welcome, took care of dietary needs (shoutout to my dairy-free self!), and even had some fun surprises (the Christmas bathroom? Iconic). Whether you're looking for a lively bar with great food or just need a quick takeout fix, this place is it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Hell yeah, this place rules. First things first. Read the schpiel on the menu. It tells you what to expect, which boils down to a few key points. The wings are smaller, extra crispy, and take some extra time to prepare. But they're absolutely worth it. I typically do 12 wings split between the spicy buffalo and whatever their sauce of the week is. The Vindictive Lager is a perfect complimentary beer. And the chop salad is a damn near perfect side. And I don't know where they get their blue cheese dressing from, but it's thick and utterly delicious. Staff has always been friendly and the decor is fitting. There's a small barcade upstairs with a couple arcade cabinet classics - Ms PAC Man, Time Crisis, and Area 51/Lethal Enforcers. And the restroom decor is hilarious. All in all, this place is super dope and I would recommend it to anyone who is even remotely a fan of chicken wings. read more

Wow! So pleasantly surprised. Was staying in downtown area hotel. Went out looking for food late at night.....and bingo! The wings here are the one BEST I have had EVER! read more

The chicken wings were so FIRE! They were super delicious and seriously the sauce was ‍! This is a "no ranch, grow up" kind of spot. Cool spot where the 6 of us came here for dinner on a Saturday around 9:30pm without reservations. We were seated no problem! They played fun hip hop/rap music, the bathroom was hilarious because it's June but playing Christmas music and decor! Seriously not what I was expecting The upstairs area has a lil arcade where we spent a good amount of time in playing a game none of us had seen before. During the hours of 9-10pm because they are a bar, they'll send the servers home and switch to order at bar only and they will require a card to be put down. I would definitely recommend this place based on the food and the fun vibes! read more

Came across this place during a Bills game. Great energy, fun crowd, and some of the best wings I've had.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Seattle, and I bring every out-of-town guest here. At first, they're always skeptical. A wing spot? Yes. A wing spot. And by the end of the meal, they totally get it. The atmosphere is fun, hip, and lively, with great music bumping the whole time. No matter where you sit, a server will find you, and they're always friendly and quick. But the best part? The wings. Absolute perfection. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The salt and vinegar wings are a must-try, so good they'll ruin all other wings for you! I don't even like blue cheese, but theirs made me a believer. It's the perfect spot before a game or just a casual bite with friends. Also, always get the Wing of the Week, they never miss! I just wish the dill pickle wings were a permanent menu item! Highly, highly recommend! read more

As a Buffaloian, I had high expectations going to Vindicktive - both excitement and apprehension since I haven't found comparable wings in Seattle. The atmosphere was electric - great music, vibe, fun team, and they have Labatts Blue (not Blue Light) - but it was $5 per bottle! The wings were overall just okay. While they were crispy (and we didn't have to order them extra crispy), the wing size was VERY small, not a lot of meat, and sauce was desiring more flavor and quantity - but it by far fell short of Duffs, Gabriel's Gate, Bar Bill or Anchor Bar level. Even the hot sauce was disappointing - and wasn't comparable. The fries were great though - crispy, light, and hot. The blue cheese, while tasty, was way too thick - definitely not dippable. Would I go back for these wings?.... There are better wing places in Seattle than this place (their pop up was far more successful and tasteful than brick and mortar). I'd even go as far to suggest Wing Stop would be better. After my friends and I went to taste other wings in Seattle and found two other places are better - in size, taste, and in price - The Fish Ladder and the Taproom. read more

It can be expensive to dine out nowadays. I'm glad to find this place that they have happy hour during the week and foods that are in good values. I got an old fashioned. It was a big drink and tasty. The wings were served hot and fresh. The service was friendly, nice. It is a great place to watch games and hang out with friends with a friendly budget. read more

Wings were overcooked and dry. Also, you aren't located in upstate NY, and people dig on ranch. Or commit completely to the schtick and only serve true buffalo wings with just cayenne hot sauce. The hypocrisy and general attitude of this restaurant is annoying. Good cocktails and drinks give this spot some redemption read more

I literally flew to Seattle just for the wings. I came about two years ago and had it for the first time and just keep coming back at least once a year! I absolutely love the wings. Best wings I have had in my lifetime. I used to be a blue cheese hater but this place made me like it! The service was great and the vibes are amazing per usual! read more

Experience was loud and drafty the waitress with short hair shrieked she wasn't done cleaning the table and said if are drinking she needs to see our IDs. And just busted away and walked away. Wings were dry and extremely salty and subpar while the service was minimal. The only time we had any real interaction was when we were paying our bill. Definitely don't plan on coming back. read more

Support local businesses! This place knows its wings! I am a bit partial to a place called Tony's in Kirkland, but this place is my go to when I am in Seattle and I need some wings! I am originally from Buffalo, so I frequently am in the wing mood. This place serves the wings like they do at Duffs in the old school wooden bowls, which is the right way to eat them wings. They also do a great job of simplifying the ordering, where you can only get wings in 6-12 packs and they have a limited amount of flavors, which I like because there is nothing more painful than ordering a bucket of WANGS and getting like 22 flavors because your squad can't decide on anything.... Just get BUFFALO and Plain and sauces on the side. Ok maybe salt and pep wings, but jesus people. Its a standard bar with standard bar fare other than that-- but I will tell you, if you have had wings out before, you know there are a lot of places that can't make buffalo wings to save their life. These guys know what's up and they frame their whole business model after them... Wing it up! read more

My buddies and I stopped in Seattle for the first time over the weekend and had to get some wings. Vindicktive came as highly recommended online, so my buddies and I dropped in and were not disappointed. I had a beer, an order of the 12-piece buffalo wings, and a side of fries. The beer options are a bit limited but not too bad. I personally wouldn't grab a cocktail here as it doesn't seem to be their strong point. However, most importantly, the wings had great flavor, a good crunch, weren't dried out on the inside, and were reasonable in size. The fries were meh, could use some TLC, but weren't bad. Each order of wings came with celery and a ramekin of blue cheese (I prefer carrots and ranch, so I didn't use/eat either). Vindicktive doesn't provide ranch unless you go upstairs and play the claw machine which is quite funny, even as someone who dislikes blue cheese and prefers ranch. We loved Vindicktive's wings so much that we stopped in once more before heading to the airport on our final day. I will say, the second time we dropped in the service was significantly slower than our first visit, and my wings were far less saucy (I like them super sauced up) than our first visit. Overall, this is easily one of the best wing spots I've ever been to. I will be craving Vindicktive wings until I'm in Seattle next and can drop back in! read more

Cool taphouse/bar spot with amazing wings! Super fresh, super flavorful. Can't ask for anything more.

Wings were dry like jerky. The buffalo and hot buffalo sauces were good. Fries were decent. Blue cheese was awesome!! Wait staff was friendly enough. 1 star for the blue cheese and 1 star for the wait staff. I don't know how this place got the hype. I'll probably try again just to be sure it wasn't just a bad day but same experience for everyone at my table. read more

So many Elite Yelpers had good things to say about Vindicktive Wings that I could not leave Seattle without seeing what they were saying. I quickly searched Maps and discovered it was only 0.6 miles from my hotel. I must admit that the restaurant is located in a rough part of downtown. About 10 minutes into my walk, I began questioning my life choices, but once I got into the restaurant, the vibe was chill and upbeat. When it comes to wings, I am a dry-rub kind of girl. So, I was happy when my server mentioned that the Old Bay dry rub was the flavor of the week. I ordered their lunch special of six wings with fries and a drink. The wings are served with blue cheese. OMG! The person who decided on this pairing deserves a raise. It was so so good. The wings were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Fried to perfection. They were flavourful and addictive. Chicago has the bragging rights for best wings, but Vindicktive Wings are coming closely behind. read more

I pulled up to Vindicktive Wings after seeing multiple claims that they have the best wings in Seattle. I swung by around 11:30 PM on a Monday while there were plenty of tables, I was still surprised by the number of people who were there! Definitely a local late night spot in the area with plenty of regulars. We ordered some bites at the bar and they brought the food out to our booth. Buffalo Wings (4/5): They do state in the description that the wings are smaller than what you normally get, but that means if you're hungry, this can get pricey real fast. However, I'm sure the 99 cent Wing Wednesday deal is absolutely worth. Wings are fried fresh and the texture of the skin gets a bit crunchy was awesome. I like their buffalo, good level of tang though not spicy at all. PSA: they do NOT provide ranch, but their blue cheese is whipped until it's a bit airy and isn't too funky. Even as a bleu cheese hater, I actually quite enjoyed it (I still woulda loved to have ranch though). Fries (4.5/5): For five dollars, this is a CRAZY deal. Decently large basket that comes fresh out of the fryer, super crisp, and well seasoned. Think your dream McDonald's fries that don't let you down. Highly highly recommend. read more

Really was craving authentic wings during my vacation in Seattle, found this place. Hooray. We got there. I was then immediately put off by the fact that the menu seems to think it knows how you want to eat wings better than you do due to the fact that it proudly proclaims that "we don't serve ranch at this establishment." Whatever, ok. Fine. I'll get the bleu cheese because it's more authentic or whatever. I should've turned away after the weird pretentiousness with the wings' dipping sauce, but like a hopeful fool I stayed. I even wondered if I was the one who was wrong, that maybe I'd been brainwashed by some sort of pro-ranch lobby into ignoring a superior dipping sauce, but that's when the second red flag on the menu showed itself: a sort of proclamation that "our wings aren't your frozen grocery store wings, they're small," written with all this self aggrandizing implied logic that this somehow made them better. At this point I should've just gone to Buffalo Wild Wings but again I stayed. Like a fool, I stayed. True to their word, the wings were pretty tiny. Not a ton of meat on them, all pretty stringy. But hey, that must be part of the authentic wings experience. You're at Vindicktive, the place that doesn't even serve ranch because that's how much better than you they think they are. Save your money, time, and preconceived notions about authenticity. Bww will never judge you for the very sensible act of ordering ranch. read more

Came across this place just doing a search for wings in my area (near Queen Anne) and it showed they were 5 minutes away. And not even a year old. Really cool vibe inside and the bartender/server was super cool. Found out that 4 friends started the place last May and have had success ever since. As far as the wings, it reminds me of my east coast background. Smaller and incredibly flavorful and they offer a number of different flavors. I got the standard buffalo wings, and they still had a little kick to them which I love. Came with some perfect fries as well that should always accompany wings. I noticed some wing novices on here were complaining about the size of the wings. This is east coast style man. Just order a lot of them and enjoy the taste. They are not expensive. I will go back here whenever I am in the mood for wings which is a lot. read more

Now when you go in and see regulars not having the wings... that should have told me something right away. The Wings: Just avoid. There EXTREMELY dry and comically small (we ordered 18, so they had 18 chances to prove us wrong). If it were not for the bone in the way they would be one bite - we left hungry. F- tier / trashcan worthy... I hate to say it, but they should drop them from the menu... just embarrassing. Drinks: Had a margarita and it was really good! The bartender was friendly and welcoming. Vibe: Dive bar, people playing games at their table, casual. I think if you go here for a drink and the dive bar vibes you'll enjoy it. Just avoid the wings at all cost. The Fries looked good! read more

Came here on Sunday the 15th of February, I was here with a group of friends and my boyfriend when I got cornered in the women's bathroom and sexually harassed by an older woman. I then told my boyfriend and we went and told the bartender and the only thing he could say to me was that we were cut off from alcohol for the night. Very upsetting and rude as I was trying to confide in them and my situation in the restroom. I am from out of state but do frequent Seattle as my family lives there, I won't be back. Man behind the bar was extremely upsetting to me. read more

I'm a huge wing guy, and I flew up from California--apparently not just to visit Seattle, but to meet my soulmate... in the form of chicken wings. I saw Vindicktive Wings on TikTok and made it my first stop, and wow. I've tried wings everywhere I go, but these? These are the best wings I've ever had. They're huge, perfectly crispy, and honestly might have changed my personality. Now listen, I'm not a blue cheese guy. In fact, I usually avoid it like it owes me money. But their house-made blue cheese? Unreal. Life-changing. They sell it by the jar and I'm 100% grabbing one before I head back home. I can officially say I'll be sad leaving Seattle--because of chicken wings. I'll be back, Seattle... but let's be honest, I'm really coming back for Vindicktive Wings read more
