Best Wings In South Dakota
How do these rankings work?
1. Firehouse Brewing Company – Rapid City
Their boneless chicken wings might sound a little unusual at first, but once you taste them and the flavour they have packed in there, along with how little work you have to do you’ll be a convert. The death of the conventional chicken wing?
2. Overtime Sports Grill And Bar – Sioux Falls
You haven’t tasted quality chicken wings until you’ve tasted the wings at Overtime Sports Grill and Bar. They’re the best hot wings in  Sioux Falls. Really, they’re known as having the biggest, tastiest wings in town and you can wash them down with ice-cold beer and other drinks from the bar all day long.
3. RB Beers & Burgers – Yankton
A Whiskey Sirloin might sound enticing, and boy is it. However, the wings at RB Beers & Burgers are so tantalising that you won’t be able to even think about ordering anything else. Order them traditional or boneless and have them slather on the sauce, such as Garlic Parmesan, Mango Habanero, Rock Bottom BBQ, Buffalo and so much more.
4. Granite City Food & Brewery – Sioux Falls
The Lawless Brunch at Granite City is enough to make any foodie drive across the state just for a taste. But you can actually find tasty food here any day of the wing. Case in point…the mouthwatering wings. The city wings are bone-in jumbo chicken wings while their boneless wings come hand-breaded and buttermilk fried. Yum.
5. Buffalo Wings & Rings – Rapid City
Buffalo Wings & Rings is the kind of spot where you’d spend an entire weekend. They’ve got volleyball courts and large-screen TVs to enjoy as you devour wing after tasty wing. Their wing menu is impressive, with four styles to choose from, over ten flavours and sauces, and even a heat level to pick.
6. Slim Chickens – Sioux Falls
Slim Chickens does chicken up real good. You know, the way it should be done at any hometown restaurant or bar. Flavour your wings with a shaken sauce, which can be anything from Sriracha Garlic or Korean BBQ to Garlic Parmesan or Inferno. Yep, the wings here get hot.
7. Circus Sports Bar & Grill – Aberdeen
Looking for a bit of local flavour? Head to Aberdeen to indulge in some of the best hometown bar vibes and chicken wings in South Dakota. Monday night here is wing night, where you can get wings for $6.50 a pound. With a deal like that, it’s too good to pass up.
