The Best Wings in Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Ohio offers visitors a hidden gem in the American Midwest. Throughout the nineteenth century, Cincinnati blossomed into a boomtown, based on its rapid population and economic growth. That brought in a flood of immigrants from all over that influenced all facets of local culture. Cincinnati's downtown hosts a blend of Victorian, Art Deco, Federal, Italianate, and German Gothic architecture. Mainly influenced by Irish, Greek, and German immigrants, Cincinnati became especially famous for its goetta, a German-inspired meat-and-grain sausage. In 2016, "the Queen City" received the nicknamed the "Chili Capital of America" based on the number of chili restaurants per capita. The city has more than just chili, and award-winning restaurants serve unforgettable chicken wings, too. But where are the savviest diners eating out? Look no further than the Tastemaker 20. We've collected data from thousands of restaurants to find the top spots among OpenTable's most expert, seasoned diners — in this case, those who love chicken wings. Grab a napkin (or two) and reserve a table at the best wings in Cincinnati!
