Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Portland Press Herald. Updated August 2026.
The Great Lost Bear · Forest Avenue
A 1979 pub set in a former rock club, pouring more than 60 taps and serving whole chicken wings rather than the usual split flats and drums. The Press Herald's wing-focused roundup singled it out among several Forest Avenue contenders for its visually striking, full-size wing presentation and long pub history.
Bird & Co. · Deering
A Mexican kitchen on Deering Avenue whose agave-lime buffalo wings run alongside its tacos and breakfast plates. The Press Herald's wing column grouped it with the Forest Avenue crop of takeout wing spots even though the restaurant itself sits on the neighboring street, and named the wings among the city's standouts.
Smoked Portland · Forest Avenue
A barbecue kitchen on Forest Avenue from the team formerly behind Binga's Wingas, whose hand-breaded, gluten-free buffalo wings the Press Herald called one of its new favorites for football season. The smoked dirty wings sit alongside the shop's dry-rubbed barbecue plates, with a second location open in Windham.
