Since 2008, Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings has been serving up some of the best wings in the city, if not the entire state. Part of the secret to their success lies in the fact that they use free-range chicken, which absolutely ups the quality. Then, they throw on some creative sauces. You can enjoy dipping them in their own ranch and blue cheese sauce as well, which they make in-house daily.

6. Beckie’s Cafe – Prospect

In terms of cultural value, Beckie’s Cafe is a must if you’re travelling through Oregon. The cafe’s been a mainstay since 1926. The historic charm of the rustic restaurant, however, is matched by the homey flavours of their American comfort food and regional microbrews. Pull up a chair, order a brew and then get stuck into a heavy basked of their wings. Crispy chicken wings tossed in a buffalo sauce…it doesn’t get much better.
