We never made it to Wingcraft. We had planned a lunch there, thirteen of us again, the same band of optimists who once believed in rejuvenation via spicy poultry. A happy hour event was also on the calendar for Thursday, meant to be a cheerful punctuation mark on a long work week. Then came the news: Wingcraft had closed its doors forever. No warning, no farewell, no wings. It is strange to feel stood up by a restaurant, but that is how it felt. One moment there was a place with burgers and beer flights, a hum of televisions and bar chatter, and the next there was only silence and a locked door. We were left wandering near the Convention Center, hungry and confused, like pilgrims whose holy site had vanished overnight. I give it two stars because once upon a time, the food was decent and the beer cold. But the sudden disappearance left us stranded, and the city felt emptier for it. Atlantic City is cruel like that, swallowing places whole and leaving only echoes where the laughter used to be. read more

Stopped here because of other Yelpers reviews! We parked in Apple Bee's parking lot as suggested! Place is a modern sports bar. Great decor and open space. We were seated right away. We started with a couple of apps- Wings,, Mexican Street Corn Guacamole And Chips, and the Short Rib Tater Tots. All were fantastic. We all had different entrees shrimp tacos, California Reuben(sooo good), Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Short Rib Grilled Cheeese/came with a side dipping sauce with the perfect amount of heat, Last but not least the terrific Cali Burger with chips Can't really tell you about the drinks we all drank water besides my hubby that had a house IPA he said it was good. They are also very accommodating they will put the game you will like to watch if you ask. All in all a great experience, will definitely be back. read more

No more broken chicken bones! Came here yesterday after shopping at the outlets. I basically ordered the same thing I got last time. Chicken wings nekked with a side of BBQ honey sauce, mild sauce, ranch dip and an order of onion rings (not on the menu). I love their BBQ honey sauce dipped in ranch. I never had their mild wing sauce, but tried it and wasn't a fan. My mom ordered the Greek salad. Their wings come out crispy which we both enjoyed (my mom is very hard to please), the onion rings were good, and she very much liked her salad. Service was great and the ambiance is nice. Our lunch here came out cheaper than breakfast at Hash House at Tropicana. The only thing problem is that only 7 pieces of wings come in one order. That's an odd number for wings. Should be at least 10 pieces. I mean if people know your wings are good, not sure why you wouldn't offer at least 10 pieces like most WING places. read more

A staple to the area! This restaurant has an exceptional variety of beers, cocktails and jon alcoholic beverages! Their customizable flights are a must try for beer lovers. Their classy wings are a hit! The perfect combination of sweet yet tangy with a minor kick makes it a perfect bite each time! Bone in wings are crispy and cooked well! Their pastrami rueben was delicious! Heartily packed with pastrami over coleslaw on rye was bomb! 10/10! Our waitress JOJO provided impeccable service! To the management she is a complete asset to you! Ambiance perfectly fits the food chic and inviting! read more

Wingcraft Kitchen & Beer Bar is an American gastropub and craft beer bar that opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey in June 2014. It was founded by restaurateur brothers Nick and Antonio Ballias. Nick has most of the restaurant experience, having worked in restaurants since he was 13. He spent time managing restaurants in Philadelphia while a student at Drexel University. In 2005, the brothers opened their first venture: Cavo Crepe Café (closed 2020). For their next venture, they decided to open a gastropub with a focus on good food paired with craft beer. They acquired a space that had previously been home to a brick oven pizzeria. The menu consists of wings, burgers, sandwiches, seafood, meat entrees, fries, salads, various appetizers, 40 craft beers on draught, and craft cocktails. Wingcraft has won numerous accolades since opening. My family and I visited Wingcraft this past summer while we were on a road trip. While looking for a place to grab dinner, my wife noticed that Wingcraft was one of the 'Top 10 Restaurants in Atlantic City' on Yelp. We decided to make a reservation. The place was pretty quiet when we were there, the decor was nice, and the service was friendly and helpful. To drink, I had Pontoon Brewing's "Sooper Froot Sour" (Fruited Berliner Weisse) while my wife had "Gus's Blueberry Lemonade" (3 Olives Blueberry, lemonade, simple syrup). For our entrees, I had the "Classy Wings" (hybrid of buffalo moscato/habanero wine sauce, topped w/ crisp garlic, truffle bleu cheese sauce), my wife had the "Hot and Honey Buffalo Chicken Sandwich" (fried chicken, hot & honey sauce, bleu cheese, chopped celery) with Sweet Potato Fries, our older son had "Kids Chicken Bites w/ Chips" (boneless chicken bites), and our younger son had the "Kids Mac N Cheese w/ Chips". We also ordered a "Giant Pub Pretzel" (served with/ beer cheese and bacon jalapeño mustard) for the table to share. Everything was excellent! Afterwards, we ordered the "Fried Oreos" (funnel cake battered Oreos) for dessert. They were simply delightful! We had an excellent experience at Wingcraft and we are so happy that we discovered them! We would love to return the next time we're in Atlantic City! read more

I visited AC for a conference and this restaurant was writhing walking distance from the hotel. Unfortunately, the food missed the mark. The Corn Fritters weren't what was expected and the off putting color and over the top sweetness made them inedible. Hoping the entrees would be better but that's a no also. My pork chop was raw in the middle and my guest had the ribs with a very, very spicy sauce. We sent the food back and while I opted for wings, they said they were making her another rib. When it returned it looked like it was triple fried and also inedible. To ensure there was no waste I met a nice man who had nothing to eat and offered it to him and he was appreciative. Maybe this was a one-off and I'd like to try them again the next time I'm in the area.hopefully it will be better. I do want to mention the wait staff was attentive and pleasant. read more

Wingcraft was a pleasant surprise! They offer an abundance of beer options. I went with the pomegranate cider beer and it was so tasty and not too sweet! Our table ordered 3 types of wings. The dry rub being the favorite for everyone but I don't eat wings so I can't personally comment. I did however, order the maple corn fritters. They are absolutely shareable because of the heaviness of them but they were incredible! Pictures would not do it justice! For my meal, I ordered the hot and sweet chicken sandwich which was a take on a Nashville type chicken sandwich. It didn't compare but it was still good. A little dry but I ate it and did like it- I just wouldn't order it again. It's a good location, good service and a nice place to watch a game and just hang out when others are shopping at the nearby outlet. (The sweet potato fries were with the extra cost for the substitution. Yum) @date_night_craves on insta read more

Liked it before but felt like something was different and just "off". We both ordered the single pub burger. Probably only 1/4 lb of meat served with homemade chips that may have been sitting around. Burger was well done and a little tough but overly salty on both burgers. The kicker was it was $17.98. Place was not crowded yet service was slow. Will not be returning. Very disappointed. I love Pat LaFrieda burgers and buy them at ShopRite. They are delicious but this place found a way to ruin them. It's a shame. SMH read more

Great place just off the beaten path. We actually went twice to this location when in town. You can escape the crowds, they'll accommodate what game you'd like to watch, and their food is what I call "high end bar food". Lots of beer choices and the service is great. Park at Applebees...pay $10 cash...get parking validated at Wingcraft...attendant will give you $10 cash back when you leave! read more

As frequent visitors to the Atlantic City area we are always looking for dinner spots open late, so we're looking forward to checking out Wingcraft. Our experience was mixed -- not bad, not amazing either. The good: -Service was lovely, friendly and attentive -The beer! A really wide variety with a ton of local representation from all over New Jersey, the list is filled with gems and flights are available. The flight we had was all winners (especially the Juice Lord IPA, Down East creamsicle cider, and Double Nickel stout)-- better than several "fancier" microbreweries we've been to. -Lots of dipping sauces available -- the mustard aioli was a favorite The just okay: -Chicken tenders and wings were both extremely dry, over cooked and tough (honey bbq sauce helped a little but not much) -sweet and spicy shrimp: cooked well but overly sugary sauce Can't say the food made us want to return. But beers were good enough that we'd come back here to try out more of the diverse taps, maybe to watch an Eagles game. read more

I came here with a group of 4 for a late lunch. We were easily able to find seating in one of their spacious booths. Their menu consisted of typical American bar food. I had the veggie burger with parmesan truffle fries. The burger patty seemed to be homemade and was well-seasoned. However it was large and fell apart, making the burger difficult to eat. Still, I enjoyed the lettuce, tomato, and fresh onion on top. It was a bit dry so I asked for a side of blue cheese sauce which complemented it well. The parmesan truffle fries were perfectly crispy, but not as flavorful as I would've expected. To drink, I had their red sangria which was tasty and not too sweet. My friend's fries came out cold and they quickly switched them out for a fresh, hot batch without issue. My friends ordered the wings and enjoyed them. read more

Came here around 1pm on a Tuesday and it was dead inside. So we had the lay of the land of tables to pick from. Vibe is pretty chill with a few TVs to watch sports & the bar is pretty normal with plenty of options of craft beers. Mixed drinks to if you'd like. My girlfriend had a cosmo and she liked it. I ordered the hot & honey tenders w/ the garlic parm fries. For $14 I thought there would be more than 4 pieces which was a downer. They were good and the fries could've been a bit more crispier. Maybe that was the garlic parm on it that made a little soggy. The chicken sandwich my gf had was really good with fried chicken on. Little sloppy and fell apart while eating it. Overall the service was great and never waited long for any kind of attention or help. read more

Averagely mediocre place next to the convention center and the outlets. Decor is nice, staff is friendly, there are maybe six TVs so it's not a terrible place to watch a game. Food is very very average, nothing is terrible but nothing is particularly good. Prices are good compared to a hotel/casino but meh for an actual place. Kids meal is $16. I'm not sure the quality of food would change if I was the chef - and I don't mean that in a bad way, I'm not awful, but ain't nobody paying to eat at my place. read more

Way overpriced, and the worst food I had while in Atlantic City. Go to any other bar for a quick bite and a beer

I came here during the week and it was a bit busy but the service wasn't too bad. They have a very wide range of beer which was awesome. From cider, sours, stouts, they have so much. I ordered a sour called unicorn farts and it was sooo good! The name is hilarious too. Kudos for the creativity. The Caesar salad i had was tasty, I loved the dressing. The only thing was that it was pretty warm? I wanted a cool salad since it was hot outside. The burger i had tasted good but it was not super memorable. I think it was too overpriced for the quality. However I would return to this spot just for the beer options! read more

Really good burgers and wings, and a nice beer selection. We've never had a wait to dine in. There are plenty of tables - maybe 20 in total, and all indoors. There is some street parking nearby, but you'll likely have to walk a short way. The staff is friendly and accommodating! We usually end up with a check for $60-100 for two of us, depending on how many drinks we get. For us, it's more of a daytime lunch vibe, rather than a bar where you mingle. They close early for a bar at 10 pm. The interior has an industrial vibe and has always been clean. read more

Near the outlets. Went here for a quick bite before a concert. Nice size and modern. Good place for meet ups, date night and group dinner. We tried the wings and chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. They were really tasty. Good customer service. Recommend if visiting AC read more

So so delish. Everything was amazing. read more

Our server was Erick H., who was very cordial and often checked in to make sure everything was great . Guinness Stout #40 with Fried Pickles (excellent and unique because they were chopped into spears) and Parmesan Truffle Fries with Spicy Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce (that is a must combination) were our appetizers. Husband enjoyed his classic pub burger (double), 5 stars . Daughter enjoyed the 4 pieces of chicken tender (perfectly cooked inside). I enjoyed my Fish & Chips, which had a light batter and tender, fresh fish, and We will definitely go back. The setting was wonderful--it was warm, family-friendly, and tidy. Highly recommend this Gem ! read more

The food is meh. People were appropriately polite. Environment is not overwhelming. Mozzy balls came out still half frozen. Handled quickly and efficiently. Ordered the manhattan burger (claims to be voted best burger in AC), it was dry and lacking. The only flavor came from the small Amount of bbq sauce on it. Event drink was blah. The beer selection is great according to my partner! He loved everything he tried! read more

I was in AC for a work trip and after a long day of travel Wingcraft was a perfect choice to curb my appetite. I was greeted from across the restaurant the moment I walked in the door. Everyone was extremely friendly. They had a plentiful beer selection and some tasty options for food. I ordered Manhattan Project Burger and let me say it was AMAZING! Thankfully it wasn't too crowded and our food arrived pretty quick. The bar tender was a little distracted so getting drinks was a little delayed. Overall, I definitely recommend WingCraft! read more

I went down to Atlantic City for a concert and came across this little gem. We were pleasantly surprised to find it pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon. First off, let me say everything we had was absolutely amazing! The corn fritters were a different take on a traditional dish and they were so good! I will say the portion is pretty big so be sure you have a friend to share with. The short rib tater tots were AMAZING!!! They were so tasty, I would definitely consider this a must try! The short rib grilled cheese was to die for as well! Our server was great at giving us recommendations because the menu is pretty extensive! Overall great place! read more

I was not expecting this place to be as good as it was. We stopped by since we were in the area and this place is absolutely delicious!!! They have an extensive menu of various beer options as well as food options. We decided to go with the truffle fries which were amazing!! They were so crispy and have amazing truffle flavors. The best part were the wings - BEST WINGS I EVER HAD. They were so crispy and flavorful. Highly recommend the wings if you come here. We also got the Chicken Avocado Pizza which was the only item that I did not like (granted - I do not like thick pizza, I have always been a big fan of thin crispy crust which is probs why I was not a fan of this pizza but the flavors were good). The portion size of the pizza was huge and you are definitely getting your moneys worth here. But the truffle fries and the wings are a MUST if you come here. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back in the future! read more

A great spot to try different drafts and food located in the tanger outlets in A.C. i reLly enjoyed the wings and the burger. Both tasty selections. The salad was also a fresh option to choose from. Wings are great. Wish more to the order because they are real good. Will be visiting again soon. read more

I went in as a last minute resort on a cold and rainy day trying to avoid the torrential downpour. I ordered sweet and spicy shrimp as an appetizer which was nothing special. It took a very long time to come out which is why I assume my main entree was on the cooler side. The shrimp though seemed overcooked and overly sweet. The slaw helped tame the sweetness a bit but it shouldn't have needed it. I ordered the bone-in mango habanero wings and sweet potato fries. Surprisingly, the show stopper here were the fries. I guess I should have learned my lessen about the sweetness because it too was overbearingly sweet. The wings were also a bit overdone and seems like it sat under the warmer a bit too long. A bit disappointed since this cost me nearly $50 for just me at lunch and I only drank water. The waitress was kind and attentive though. Bravo to her! read more

This is a very chill atmosphere. The food is ok. I'm not a fan of plain wings that you have to dip in the sauce you select. Seems like wings should just come tossed in the sauce normally and if you don't want sauce, order it on the side. The wings were very mediocre. Since the wings are fried "naked" with breading, I noticed the breading nor the chicken was seasoned. The I got truffle Parmesan French fried but at $8.99, were not worth it. The staff was great. Our waitress was very attentive. Overall thoughts... it was food. Nothing special. I guess the restaurant is good for socializing and beers which I did not have. read more

Ok, reservation is a must - especially if you're going to come here on a Saturday like we did. This was probably the best meal we had in AC. I want to give it a GREAT but there were two things that were just okay. We had a big party - so we got to experience a lot of food: -Pretzel with beer cheese - seems like something you wouldn't order - just do it. I would do it definitely again and again. -Mexican Street Corn Guacamole - also so delicious. -Wings- yes. -Fish& Chips- on point. -Korean BBQ Baby Back Ribs- no. super fatty and really not tasty. -Chicken Parm Burrata - well, this is why it's not a great - the chicken on the first sandwich was super rubbery and tasteless. But!! they came through and gave a new sandwich which was basically so amazing. -Classic burger - hard to get wrong - so good. -Salad - had the Sante Fe salad with added chicken - next time pass. Also - pro-tip... you can park in the Applebees parking lot and get it validated. (Call ahead and ask but we got it validated). read more

Came in for lunch / dinner totally turned off because the bartender during lunch / dinner shift . There was a new trained employee and the way the bartender spoke to her was repulsive. If that is how the staff treats new employee when times are so tuff makes me never want to go back . Just shows the character of the place. read more

The best place in this area, for sure. Good food, good service. Tried the wings and burger...both were good.

Great food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. We had the short rib grilled cheese, wings, with fries. The grilled cheese was amazing and wings were really good too. Our waiter was really good and kept the refills on the drinks coming. read more

Buffalo chicken sandwich nice balance of tangy and sweet good crust on the chicken not sloppy drowning sauce you might be accustomed to on a mediocre sandwich; it's one of the best I've had! Fries had Crispy perfect crunch! Next time I'm back in town for the NESPA annual show this spot deserves a return visit for sure! read more

The food was amazing as well as the beers I deducted one star because the only time we saw our waiter was to take our order. We had to flag him down to get the check.
