2 best GA wings spots in South
The Local, Atlanta, GA
“The Local has a ‘wet’ combo of Buffalo sauce and lemon pepper seasoning. Paired with smoked, fall-off-the-bone wings, it’s a glorious thing,” said Southern Living writer Matt Moore.
At The Local, customers can choose from the legendary Atlanta-made lemon pepper for their wings or other unique dry rub blends such as jerk, sun-dried tomato or spicy Korean.
Of course, there are also fries, tots, coleslaw and plenty of beer to go around.
Nam Phuong, Atlanta, GA
“Situated off Atlanta’s famous Buford Highway, this Vietnamese joint cooks up wok-fried wings in a fish sauce,” Moore wrote.
On Yelp, the restaurant has 4.1 out of 5 stars and reviewers rave about the glazed wings, calling them “exceptional,” “tasty” and “fantastic.”
Customers can also try spring rolls, egg rolls or their famous salt and pepper squid with the wings.
