Wood & Iron Gameday Restaurant and Bar · Scott's Addition
A Richmond sports-bar group built around hickory-smoked wings, with three locations across the metro and Scott's Addition as its flagship. It took first place for wings in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll, a category it has anchored across the local sports-bar scene.
Cocky Rooster · The Fan
A Fan wing restaurant built around a long list of sauces and dry rubs, placed second for wings in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll. It began franchising out of state in 2025, but the two Virginia locations remain Richmond-founded and Richmond-run.
Manchu · Northside
A Brookland Park takeout counter whose wings carry the same Cajun rub the kitchen puts on its fried rice, placed third for wings in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll. Its family business traces back to New Orleans, and the counter runs takeout only.
Triple Crossing Beer - Midlothian
The Midlothian taproom of a Richmond brewery, singled out by Richmond Magazine for crispy, crunchy wings made to pair with the brewery's Richmond-famous Falcon Smash IPA. It is a distinct location from the downtown Triple Crossing taproom, with its own kitchen and wing focus.
