The place doesn't look great from outside, but boy! Go inside and enjoy some of the best wings you've ever tried! I loved the crisp of the Cajun spiced wings and a very generous portion of handmade curly fries.

Really great food BUT I can't stand all of the paper products used. It's a sit down restaurant, not a fast food joint. Tiny paper plates, paper cups, and plastic forks makes it seem cheap. Three of us ate wings and apps. If our bill is $64, you should invest in a dishwasher. ......Not to mention the environmental factor.

Wings Suds and Spuds delivers on very good wings. It amazes me how so few places can make a descent chicken wing, but they are few and far between. Wings, Suds and Spuds does a very good job, much better than most. Located in a bit of a rundown area in a hole in the wall facility I found some of the best wings in quite a while. There are lots of flavors to choose from, I chose Buffalo style, spicy. The wings arrived in short order, a bit over sauced. I was expecting a soggy skin, I was wrong. Nice and crispy skin, with wings being medium sized. Very tasty with a container on blue cheese. Two tiny pieces of celery were included. I also had a side of fries, which were good, but not very crispy. It was a very good lunch. My only complaints: a bit over priced, over sauced wings, fries not crispy, too little celery. On the plus side: wings were very good and crispy, fries despite not being crispy were quite good. Service was good. I would have no problem returning.

First time here! GREAT boneless wings. Had Jerk and Cajun. Good beer selection too. Nothin' fancy but will definitely be back! Alcohol a bit pricey...surprised by a $43 bill for 2 people. All we had were boneless wings and 3 drinks.

Overall excellent Buffalo and wet Cajun Cajun wings! (Others are also good I'm sure but those are what I always get) Also I think the atmosphere is fine, don't know why people are crying about it on here (It's a local wing joint not a five-star restaurant haha) but only reason they don't get a five out of five is because their prices are a little high for wings. However what is good to know about this wing place is they always come out good... Not sometimes overcooked or sometimes undercooked or sometimes not enough sauce... Here it's always the same which is good for wing place... Consistency

The wings here are delicious but the rest of the place is a litte too dated. They're great or takeout or a party, but eating in it's dim, crowded, old, and kind of uncomfortable. The bathrooms are tiny and ancient, and honestly the prices are kind of high. Again, delicious food but a lot of other "negatives" that keep us from going here often when we're in Moon. Last time I was there, they didn't even take credit cards....there's an ATM where you can get cash to pay. Come on....

I want to start off by saying Drovers in Wellsburg, WV has and always will be my favorite place for wings. To be honest I didn't think any place would ever even come close. That is until we finally stopped into Wings, Suds & Spuds. Their wings are delicious. I honestly don't think I've ever left this place with leftovers. My wife won't eat wings anywhere. She tried some here and now she is always asking if we can go back. My fav flavor is the HOT/BBQ and my Wife loves the MED/RANCH. Her and my Daughter also love the deep fired chips with ranch. The parking is pretty compact but we've never had any issues but we usually like to roll up on the Weekday and usually around Happy Hour. If you are in the area and can avoid the temptation of eating across the street @ Primanti Bros then do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will NOT be disappointed.

I've lived in the area for years and just tried this place recently, my friend had been there before and loved it & I've heard nothing but good reviews. The food was ok but I don't see myself returning. Two of us came in around 6:30 and it was moderately busy. I ordered the beer battered shrimp and water, my friend ordered wings and a soda and we ordered an order of curly fries. We were delivered the fries and my shrimp and our waitress asked if we needed anything else, we asked for ranch which was delivered quickly with no mention of the wings. We both ate the fries and I was waiting to start on my shrimp until his wings arrived. About 10 minutes pass and our server takes the empty fries basket and refills his soda with still no mention of the wings. He commented to me that maybe she forgot to put the order in..I offered him some of my shrimp and we finished them. Probably 20 minutes after the fries & shrimp were delivered, his wings appeared with no comment from our waitress about "sorry these took so long" or anything along those lines. I've been to many restaurants before where something isn't quite ready and the server always tells you, "this will be out in a few minutes," it was so strange to me that she didn't mention it at all. So that soured the experience a bit. The food was good. The curly fries were the perfect temperature and texture. My shrimp had a great beer batter and they didn't have tails, which is annoying with most fried shrimp. They have some of the best ranch I've ever tasted. Other than the weird timing of the food and our server seeming like she could care less about it I feel like it was a little pricey for what you get. Our bill was almost $30 and I was still hungry...Quaker Steak & Lube is cheaper and I'm always full when I leave there. It was also odd that the shrimp didn't automatically come with some sort of side like fries or coleslaw. A bit of a disappointment.

OK, I read all the other reviews that called this place divey but I assumed they were exaggerating. They are not. There are miles of Formica and wobbly chairs everywhere. The place is small. How small is it you say, so small that two people can barely squeeze into the foyer. So small that if you have a party of four waiting for a table to be ready no one else can even enter the place, so small that only one person can stand on either side of the register counter at a time, I'm talking small. By comparison the parking lot is, well that's small too. When I went the parking lot was full except for two spots but the restaurant was only 80% full. This included some folks who parked long the fence line making entry and exit a little difficult. Onto the food. The chili was hearty and extra thick. No significant heat but a cup of this stuff would have made a hearty lunch with some crackers. I had the Cajun rubbed wings. These are really cooked wings that are then doused in a cajun rub. So much so that the container has excess rub (a good tablespoon or so) floating around in it. Some other places re-fry the wings once they are dredged in the dry rubs to give more adhesion and a more consistent taste. These were OK but they were more dry than I prefer for an optimal wing. I suspect that this has to do with the cook time along with the addition of the dry powder that wicked away any surface moisture that was there. They also have their own kettle ships. These were tasty but lacked salt. When they told me they were not seasoned I assumed, no special seasonings and not sans sodium. They were tasty enough but some salt would have made them completely addicting. They give you a small sack that's big enough to share with one or two people. There were some underdone chips but not so many that it was annoying (Best kettle chips so far IMHO Cincinnatian Hotel In Cincinnati). If I am back this way again, i will make another stop in and try one of the wet sauces. That could take them from 3-4 stars easy if the wing is not as dry.

Great job, dive atmosphere, not overly expensive. Expected the sandwich to be slightly larger but still delicious. No complaints at all.

Best wings in Pittsburgh!!!! But come on I can't get a miller lite draft ?? No domestic light beer on tap. Forget the fact that it's a wing joint or that domestic light beer makes up 80% of the draft market. Thank god they didn't drink the kool aid when it came to their wing recipes. Love the wings but get real nobody wants a draft of snotty nose booger IPA while killing some hot wings.

I'm from out of town and since I had a craving for wings, decided to give this place a try based on the favorable Yelp reviews. Wasn't disappointed in the least. Initially undecided whether to try the garlic or cajun sauce (cause I love both!), so our waitress gave me one of each to sample. Liked them both so much, we got a portion of each! Crispy and meaty wings, complemented by a full basket of curly fries which were plentiful and crunchy. P.S. - Don't pay any attention to the naysayers' reviews. Either they don't have a clue what outstanding wings outta taste like, or they can't come to grips with the place being a fun-loving dive bar. That's a shame cause they're the ones missing out. This place is the REAL DEAL when it comes to wings.

Raleigh M.
First time being at this hole in the wall restaurant. Let me tell you the ambience is cool and the dive atmosphere is exciting. However, when it came to the wings let me tell you they were not that bad, nor that good. These wings are EXPENSIVE to the contrary it is a dive bar and you would expect a little bit less expensive. For 16 wings you are looking at a 17 dollar check and in my opinion that is completely ludicrous. And don't bother with the "extra hot," it cost more money and you can't even tell the difference from hot to extra hot. All in all not a bad experience but because or the prices, I will most likely not be back.
(3)
Zach G.
I'd definitely have some of these wings again. They were cooked well and the flavors were good. I wish there was a standard for "hot" though. This place was on the mild-side. You might want to go with extra hot if you lean that direction. The staff were able to seat and manage our large group of 20 without an extensive wait time. They have some decent appetizers. I think I'm partial to the chips. It's kind of a dive, but in a good way. As others have said, the parking situation is pretty bad. I think I took the absolute last spot and people after us started making them up. Overall... wing craving satisfied.

Patrick P.
You know the place is good when you are fighting for a parking spot. I needed a place to detox and watch some sports with like minded peoplle. After 5 minutes of waiting for people to leave, i was able to park (Yes parking is that tight). I walked in the back door and this little mom and pop restaurant had a 10 min wait for a table. I found a spot on the bar and ordered my customary beer. Looking to my left and right I see all the patrons aggressively working on their wings. The service was great. I ordered a small order of wings (8) which were much larger than the BW3 variety. Each of the flavors can be ordeerd hot (spicy). The place was tight and not many tvs but the food, patrons, and service were all pluses to the experience. Cost: Wings - $8 (they were big - atleast I thought) Beers - $3 I will go again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The best place for wings in Pittsburgh. I would rate this as no. 1! The waitress was attentive, fun loving and provided service with a smile. When we have visitors at work I make it a point to bring them here. A place to be proud of!

No. Better. Wings. Anywhere cajun 1st. Bbq next. I have been going here for 20 yrs & have not found a better wing yet. Plump, cooked perfectly. And the fries? Yum!! Must go here. Must!!

Wings, Suds, and Spuds takes me back to my younger years as a newhire with USAir. Some of the best days of my life. Yes, the food is good and the beer is cold. But just as good are the memories of some of the best times of my life.

I flew into the Pittsburgh Airport and had time to kill before having to pick up my mom that was flying in almost 4 hours after me. BOOO! I checked the 5 reviews and thought "what the heck, I have nothing else to do." The parking lot was packed for a Thursday at 7pm, the food must be good! GOOD PART: I sat down at the bar and the barkeeper quickly gave me a mug of their finest seasonal. BAD PART: I watched her clean the bar for 10 minutes before she actually took my food order. It looked like a tiny mom and pop dirty little wing spot, I was excited! I order 10 wings: 5 Honey Barbecue & 5 Garlic Parmesan. They have more than 10 flavors and you can order any of them as mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. GOOD: ranch was awesome BAD: worse wings I've ever had. Thank God for the ranch dressing because without it I wouldn't have had anything to mask the god awful sauce they claim as BBQ and Garlic Parmesan. It was soupy sauce and it didn't even closely resemble a BBQ sauce.

Jason M.
The bad: The parking is absolutely terrible. The bathrooms are dirty. The place is a dive bar, not a restaurant. The Mediocre: The wings. I read reviews here that said the wings were AH-MAZE-ING. They weren't. They also weren't terrible, but they didn't blow me away. Combine it with the building, and I probably won't be eating in again. I would, however order take out. I just don't think I'd go out of my way. The Good: The service. Very friendly and attentive. Also very helpful in choosing a good meal. I was impressed. Also, the french fries are worth getting. Very good and generous portions. I'll eat here again, but it didn't capture my heart like it seems to have for a lot of people here.

Best wings around.. I recommend trying the cajun hot.. definitely a little pricey, but they are good.. cooked crispy and no lack of sauce.

Wings were awesome and crispy. Dry rub was great. Some of our folks thought they were too cooked but they were just right for me. Sides of pickles fries and jalapeños were great. I will say the service was phenomenal. Very dumpy place which I love.

Best wings around. They are fried longer then most places so they are crispier on the outside, so that might be a turnoff to some. The place is a dive, but the people there are friendly.

We ate here last week and we were pleasantly surprised. They wings are crunchy and you can get any flavor in mild, medium or hot. Also get the basket of fries. I also had the fried green beans they were great but the portion was a little small.

Great hole in the wall joint. I only come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year but I really like it. I only like my wings extra crispy or burnt, and this place has always delivered for me. Staff has always been good and provided great service. My only complaint is the celery isn't so good and there prices are much to high for here. You will pay a little more but I don't have a problem with that as long as they keep up what they got going on.

curb appeal...ehhh prob not. but it looks like a local spot to go so i fig'd what the heck its right across from my hotel, i have time to kill, and need to get buzz on before my family gets here. inside decor is typical of a cozy bar/restaurant. food...better have 2 or 3 ppl to eat the fries! gee whiz theres a pile! fries n chicken sandwich came out fast. chicken breast was thick n juicy. mayo packets worked out great. price...ehhhh what the heck im on vaca! it was decently priced for quality bar food. service...bartender was nice and the waiters seemed to be on their game too. even tho it wasnt packed with patrons, the workers stayed busy and professional. (no horseplay or group chat sessions in the common areas) i'll def be stopping by here again for some beers and grub before the wknd is over.

Don't be turned away by the facade of this hole in wall wing joint. Once you get inside, it actually is a lot nicer. It seems that every restaurant in town serve up their "famous" wings sprinkled with their magical wing seasoning. But very few places that I have gone to, actually did something different which made their wings stand out from the pack. Wings Suds & Spuds does truly have a unique recipe for creating their wings. They have a laundry list of available flavors, but all come with their unique buffalo sauce. So whatever flavor you decide on, be ready for the follow up question: "Mild, Medium, Hot" I thought this was great. Most wing places make you sacrifice spice if you order garlic Parmesan. Not this place. I went for Garlic Parmesan and Honey BBQ: both Hot. Lets do this. Me and a coworker place our orders and were soon delighted with baskets of hot, fresh, dripping wings. Unlike many other places, these wings basically come to you in a pool of sauce. Enough sauce you better roll your sleeves up because it is going to be messy. With a tower of napkins to my left and bones basket to my right, I went straight in. I was amazingly surprised that these wings packed a spicy punch, not enough to turn my stomach inside out, but enough that it blended well with the flavor that i had selected. All in all, I enjoyed the wings thoroughly and would definitely come back to try out some of the other flavors. And I am went to have wings, suds, and spuds all in the same sitting, I might need to come back in the evening to try that.

Wings were good but very greasy. The "rib eye" steak sandwich wasn't a real steak it was wafer steak. It was rather pricey 5 wings small wafer steak sandwich(barely enough meat to be a snack)and a draft beer $17 without tip. (lettuce tomato and onion were extra!?) (it was served without cheese which is extra also). I won't be eating there again anytime soon.

Fairly expensive for wings, and are suprisingly filling wings. On Mondays they have their *wing night* for $15 you can have all the wings you care to eat, but as I said before they are very filling wings. The french fries in my opinion were fair at best. Highs: Good sauce, Good waiters, A lot of sauce, A lot of french fries come with the order. Lows: Smokey, Not very cheap, Very small building

Kerri M.
Every time we are near the Pittsburgh Airport, we try and make a point to stop by and have some wings and libations. The wings are good, I like the something-dust, sorry, I never remember until I see the menu. When ordering the fries, unless you're a HUGE fry fan, just order one and share with one or two especially if you're eating it with other food like wings. We are big fans of the wings and fries. it's a small place with a tiny parking lot but worth the trouble.

Nicklaus E.
Great super greasy food! Some of the best wings i've had in my life. Its all served up quite fast and not too expensive. The restaurant itself is old, cramped and ugly. The staff has such a quick turnaround that its never more than just average. The location on University Blvd. (formerly Beers School Rd.) is awkward. However with all those, the food and feel of the place is still unmatched. This is the best Wing joint even in the heart of Quaker Steak and Lube country. Also try the fries. The portions are gigantic.

Jason B.
Key word here " Dive Bar" if you are from Pittsburgh and don't have a favorite dive bar then your not from the burgh! If you are a oyster bar, dirty "o", mike and Tony's, Triangle bar, Mineos pizza and frankies bar type person. If you don't know what i am talking about, go somewhere else, so there is more room for us. If you do know what i am talking about. This place is for you. HANDS DOWN. The best Pittsburgh wings. The next best is the original Quaker steak and lube with the old fryers in Sharon.

Garbage small over priced wings. I would expect nice big wings from a place that markets themselves as a wing place. Honestly I would of rather eat the grilled cheese we ordered for our son. We ordered take out as we were staying at the motel next door and had our children with us. They sell beer to go which is nice but at 10.60 a six pack. We will be skipping this place next time we are in the area......NO GOOD
(1)
P. L.
Let me start with the good: the beer is great, all the draft beers are craft which are a good selection and variety for whatever you might be looking for. The wait staff is also very good. The food leaves quite a bit to be desired. Don't expect Buffalo wild wings or wings and rings quality. The boneless wings are 1" by 1" cubes of lightly fried chicken, so 5 in the small order is not a lot of food by any means. The fries are good but lots of small pieces and you're best off getting a full order to receive a decent basket of them. You'll most likely need to fill up on fries to get a decent meal, as the chicken is limited.
(3)
Dan H.
A little too expensive for what you get. Especially when the curly fries are cold and the wings are over cooked. Favors of wings are good but would be better if wings were not over cooked. I realize that taste is a matter of opinion but cold is cold and over cooked and dry is over cooked and dry!!

bob t.
This used to be better, but is a solid 4 star place that I can routinely go after years and years, and still get too much wings, ok fries, and beer. a dive bar that I like, and would go back to. I'm a fan, as they say. ask for 'em wet if you like 'em wet. good for groups, but not too big because they are not that big. also, entrance at rear.
(4)
Jarrod L.
Ok food if you like things fried but it's very overpriced for a grease pit. My 4 year old and I had chicken tenders, a half order of fries, a turkey sandwich, and a domestic bottle beer (miller lite). Total bill was $28 and that's without the tip. The lack of a kids menu really hurts the review of this place. I love supporting ma and pop businesses but draw then line when you price gouge.

You just don't get any better than that for wings... Nice and crispy with an original sauce not quite like anywhere else. Try the Cajun!

I've heard for years how good the wings were here... and so we finally stopped at my husbands suggestion. With a near empty restaurant, we were guided to a table at the dark top level.. .no thanks. I asked to be seated at the lower level by a window. Table was small small small. Chair was small small small. We got a pitcher of beer as $3.50 for a draft of Bud was a bit much. Wings are sold in quantities of 5, 10 or 16. What happened to dozen or 1/2 dozen. Prices were, again, a bit high... 5 for $5.79!! Best part was the curly fries... very good. Wings were small and very disappointing. I asked for Cajun Rub, but my wings came to me wet. I was not happy. My waiter said that because I asked for hot, he assumed I wanted the wet rub as the dry rub has no heat level. Ah, he may have known that, but I didn't know that's how they did it there. That's his job, not mine to explain while ordering. We ate off of small paper plates with cheap plastic forks and used napkins that shred with the first touch. What a gold mine to be close to Robert Morris U with students who may not be used to better. WAY too expensive. We'll keep going to our dive bar - Rooster's Roadhouse. We like, no make that LOVE our dive bars, but appreciate getting our money's worth! Adding 'Dud' to the end of their name.....

Since I was about seven years old, these have been my favorite wings on the planet. To its credit and to a fault, this place hasn't changed much since the late '80s. It still smells like cigarettes, vinegar, and Tabasco sauce... and they still have neon-colored shirts and all the trimmings of 1989 culture. The wings haven't changed either... with nearly 10 flavors (Honey BBQ being my favorite) that are the best, everrr. The french fries, which come in overfilled baskets, are also an essential. This isn't health food... but when the Steelers are playing on a cold day, there's nothing finer.

The parking is pretty compact but we've never had any issues but we usually like to roll up on the Weekday and usually around Happy Hour. If you are in the area and can avoid the temptation of eating across the street @ Primanti Bros then do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will NOT be disappointed.

I've lived in the area for years and just tried this place recently, my friend had been there before and loved it & I've heard nothing but good reviews. The food was ok but I don't see myself returning. Two of us came in around 6:30 and it was moderately busy. I ordered the beer battered shrimp and water, my friend ordered wings and a soda and we ordered an order of curly fries. We were delivered the fries and my shrimp and our waitress asked if we needed anything else, we asked for ranch which was delivered quickly with no mention of the wings. We both ate the fries and I was waiting to start on my shrimp until his wings arrived. About 10 minutes pass and our server takes the empty fries basket and refills his soda with still no mention of the wings. He commented to me that maybe she forgot to put the order in..I offered him some of my shrimp and we finished them. Probably 20 minutes after the fries & shrimp were delivered, his wings appeared with no comment from our waitress about "sorry these took so long" or anything along those lines. I've been to many restaurants before where something isn't quite ready and the server always tells you, "this will be out in a few minutes," it was so strange to me that she didn't mention it at all. So that soured the experience a bit. The food was good. The curly fries were the perfect temperature and texture. My shrimp had a great beer batter and they didn't have tails, which is annoying with most fried shrimp. They have some of the best ranch I've ever tasted. Other than the weird timing of the food and our server seeming like she could care less about it I feel like it was a little pricey for what you get. Our bill was almost $30 and I was still hungry...Quaker Steak & Lube is cheaper and I'm always full when I leave there. It was also odd that the shrimp didn't automatically come with some sort of side like fries or coleslaw. A bit of a disappointment.

So small that if you have a party of four waiting for a table to be ready no one else can even enter the place, so small that only one person can stand on either side of the register counter at a time, I'm talking small. By comparison the parking lot is, well that's small too. When I went the parking lot was full except for two spots but the restaurant was only 80% full. This included some folks who parked long the fence line making entry and exit a little difficult. Onto the food. The chili was hearty and extra thick. No significant heat but a cup of this stuff would have made a hearty lunch with some crackers. I had the Cajun rubbed wings. These are really cooked wings that are then doused in a cajun rub. So much so that the container has excess rub (a good tablespoon or so) floating around in it. Some other places re-fry the wings once they are dredged in the dry rubs to give more adhesion and a more consistent taste. These were OK but they were more dry than I prefer for an optimal wing. I suspect that this has to do with the cook time along with the addition of the dry powder that wicked away any surface moisture that was there. They also have their own kettle ships. These were tasty but lacked salt. When they told me they were not seasoned I assumed, no special seasonings and not sans sodium. They were tasty enough but some salt would have made them completely addicting. They give you a small sack that's big enough to share with one or two people. There were some underdone chips but not so many that it was annoying (Best kettle chips so far IMHO Cincinnatian Hotel In Cincinnati). If I am back this way again, i will make another stop in and try one of the wet sauces. That could take them from 3-4 stars easy if the wing is not as dry.

Great job, dive atmosphere, not overly expensive. Expected the sandwich to be slightly larger but still delicious. No complaints at all.

Best wings in Pittsburgh!!!! But come on I can't get a miller lite draft ?? No domestic light beer on tap. Forget the fact that it's a wing joint or that domestic light beer makes up 80% of the draft market. Thank god they didn't drink the kool aid when it came to their wing recipes. Love the wings but get real nobody wants a draft of snotty nose booger IPA while killing some hot wings.

I'm from out of town and since I had a craving for wings, decided to give this place a try based on the favorable Yelp reviews. Wasn't disappointed in the least. Initially undecided whether to try the garlic or cajun sauce (cause I love both!), so our waitress gave me one of each to sample. Liked them both so much, we got a portion of each! Crispy and meaty wings, complemented by a full basket of curly fries which were plentiful and crunchy. P.S. - Don't pay any attention to the naysayers' reviews. Either they don't have a clue what outstanding wings outta taste like, or they can't come to grips with the place being a fun-loving dive bar. That's a shame cause they're the ones missing out. This place is the REAL DEAL when it comes to wings.

First time being at this hole in the wall restaurant. Let me tell you the ambience is cool and the dive atmosphere is exciting. However, when it came to the wings let me tell you they were not that bad, nor that good. These wings are EXPENSIVE to the contrary it is a dive bar and you would expect a little bit less expensive. For 16 wings you are looking at a 17 dollar check and in my opinion that is completely ludicrous. And don't bother with the "extra hot," it cost more money and you can't even tell the difference from hot to extra hot. All in all not a bad experience but because or the prices, I will most likely not be back.

I'd definitely have some of these wings again. They were cooked well and the flavors were good. I wish there was a standard for "hot" though. This place was on the mild-side. You might want to go with extra hot if you lean that direction. The staff were able to seat and manage our large group of 20 without an extensive wait time. They have some decent appetizers. I think I'm partial to the chips. It's kind of a dive, but in a good way. As others have said, the parking situation is pretty bad. I think I took the absolute last spot and people after us started making them up. Overall... wing craving satisfied.

You know the place is good when you are fighting for a parking spot. I needed a place to detox and watch some sports with like minded peoplle. After 5 minutes of waiting for people to leave, i was able to park (Yes parking is that tight). I walked in the back door and this little mom and pop restaurant had a 10 min wait for a table. I found a spot on the bar and ordered my customary beer. Looking to my left and right I see all the patrons aggressively working on their wings. The service was great. I ordered a small order of wings (8) which were much larger than the BW3 variety. Each of the flavors can be ordeerd hot (spicy). The place was tight and not many tvs but the food, patrons, and service were all pluses to the experience. Cost: Wings - $8 (they were big - atleast I thought) Beers - $3 I will go again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The best place for wings in Pittsburgh. I would rate this as no. 1! The waitress was attentive, fun loving and provided service with a smile. When we have visitors at work I make it a point to bring them here. A place to be proud of!
(5)Tiff P.
No. Better. Wings. Anywhere cajun 1st. Bbq next. I have been going here for 20 yrs & have not found a better wing yet. Plump, cooked perfectly. And the fries? Yum!! Must go here. Must!!
(5)Michael W.
Wings, Suds, and Spuds takes me back to my younger years as a newhire with USAir. Some of the best days of my life. Yes, the food is good and the beer is cold. But just as good are the memories of some of the best times of my life.

I flew into the Pittsburgh Airport and had time to kill before having to pick up my mom that was flying in almost 4 hours after me. BOOO! I checked the 5 reviews and thought "what the heck, I have nothing else to do." The parking lot was packed for a Thursday at 7pm, the food must be good! GOOD PART: I sat down at the bar and the barkeeper quickly gave me a mug of their finest seasonal. BAD PART: I watched her clean the bar for 10 minutes before she actually took my food order. It looked like a tiny mom and pop dirty little wing spot, I was excited! I order 10 wings: 5 Honey Barbecue & 5 Garlic Parmesan. They have more than 10 flavors and you can order any of them as mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. GOOD: ranch was awesome BAD: worse wings I've ever had. Thank God for the ranch dressing because without it I wouldn't have had anything to mask the god awful sauce they claim as BBQ and Garlic Parmesan. It was soupy sauce and it didn't even closely resemble a BBQ sauce.

The bad: The parking is absolutely terrible. The bathrooms are dirty. The place is a dive bar, not a restaurant. The Mediocre: The wings. I read reviews here that said the wings were AH-MAZE-ING. They weren't. They also weren't terrible, but they didn't blow me away. Combine it with the building, and I probably won't be eating in again. I would, however order take out. I just don't think I'd go out of my way. The Good: The service. Very friendly and attentive. Also very helpful in choosing a good meal. I was impressed. Also, the french fries are worth getting. Very good and generous portions. I'll eat here again, but it didn't capture my heart like it seems to have for a lot of people here.
(3)Doug S.
Best wings around.. I recommend trying the cajun hot.. definitely a little pricey, but they are good.. cooked crispy and no lack of sauce.
(4)Lisa S.
Wings were awesome and crispy. Dry rub was great. Some of our folks thought they were too cooked but they were just right for me. Sides of pickles fries and jalapeños were great. I will say the service was phenomenal. Very dumpy place which I love.
(4)Jonathan K.
Best wings around. They are fried longer then most places so they are crispier on the outside, so that might be a turnoff to some. The place is a dive, but the people there are friendly.
(4)Cari B.
We ate here last week and we were pleasantly surprised. They wings are crunchy and you can get any flavor in mild, medium or hot. Also get the basket of fries. I also had the fried green beans they were great but the portion was a little small.
(5)Don A.
Great hole in the wall joint. I only come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year but I really like it. I only like my wings extra crispy or burnt, and this place has always delivered for me. Staff has always been good and provided great service. My only complaint is the celery isn't so good and there prices are much to high for here. You will pay a little more but I don't have a problem with that as long as they keep up what they got going on.
(4)Nick S.
curb appeal...ehhh prob not. but it looks like a local spot to go so i fig'd what the heck its right across from my hotel, i have time to kill, and need to get buzz on before my family gets here. inside decor is typical of a cozy bar/restaurant. food...better have 2 or 3 ppl to eat the fries! gee whiz theres a pile! fries n chicken sandwich came out fast. chicken breast was thick n juicy. mayo packets worked out great. price...ehhhh what the heck im on vaca! it was decently priced for quality bar food. service...bartender was nice and the waiters seemed to be on their game too. even tho it wasnt packed with patrons, the workers stayed busy and professional. (no horseplay or group chat sessions in the common areas) i'll def be stopping by here again for some beers and grub before the wknd is over.

Don't be turned away by the facade of this hole in wall wing joint. Once you get inside, it actually is a lot nicer. It seems that every restaurant in town serve up their "famous" wings sprinkled with their magical wing seasoning. But very few places that I have gone to, actually did something different which made their wings stand out from the pack. Wings Suds & Spuds does truly have a unique recipe for creating their wings. They have a laundry list of available flavors, but all come with their unique buffalo sauce. So whatever flavor you decide on, be ready for the follow up question: "Mild, Medium, Hot" I thought this was great. Most wing places make you sacrifice spice if you order garlic Parmesan. Not this place. I went for Garlic Parmesan and Honey BBQ: both Hot. Lets do this. Me and a coworker place our orders and were soon delighted with baskets of hot, fresh, dripping wings. Unlike many other places, these wings basically come to you in a pool of sauce. Enough sauce you better roll your sleeves up because it is going to be messy. With a tower of napkins to my left and bones basket to my right, I went straight in. I was amazingly surprised that these wings packed a spicy punch, not enough to turn my stomach inside out, but enough that it blended well with the flavor that i had selected. All in all, I enjoyed the wings thoroughly and would definitely come back to try out some of the other flavors. And I am went to have wings, suds, and spuds all in the same sitting, I might need to come back in the evening to try that.

Wings were good but very greasy. The "rib eye" steak sandwich wasn't a real steak it was wafer steak. It was rather pricey 5 wings small wafer steak sandwich(barely enough meat to be a snack)and a draft beer $17 without tip. (lettuce tomato and onion were extra!?) (it was served without cheese which is extra also). I won't be eating there again anytime soon.
(3)Brent W.
Just OK... beer cold but boneless wings pathetic and definitely not hot nor tasty. Cool Dive though.....
(2)J D.
Meh, I've experienced better. Their wings are okay but nothing special. Nice if you don't want to go to a chain but it's nothing to rave about.
(2)Nolan F.
Fairly expensive for wings, and are suprisingly filling wings. On Mondays they have their *wing night* for $15 you can have all the wings you care to eat, but as I said before they are very filling wings. The french fries in my opinion were fair at best. Highs: Good sauce, Good waiters, A lot of sauce, A lot of french fries come with the order. Lows: Smokey, Not very cheap, Very small building
(3)Kerri M.
Every time we are near the Pittsburgh Airport, we try and make a point to stop by and have some wings and libations. The wings are good, I like the something-dust, sorry, I never remember until I see the menu. When ordering the fries, unless you're a HUGE fry fan, just order one and share with one or two especially if you're eating it with other food like wings. We are big fans of the wings and fries. it's a small place with a tiny parking lot but worth the trouble.
(4)Nicklaus E.
Great super greasy food! Some of the best wings i've had in my life. Its all served up quite fast and not too expensive. The restaurant itself is old, cramped and ugly. The staff has such a quick turnaround that its never more than just average. The location on University Blvd. (formerly Beers School Rd.) is awkward. However with all those, the food and feel of the place is still unmatched. This is the best Wing joint even in the heart of Quaker Steak and Lube country. Also try the fries. The portions are gigantic.
(5)Jason B.
Key word here " Dive Bar" if you are from Pittsburgh and don't have a favorite dive bar then your not from the burgh! If you are a oyster bar, dirty "o", mike and Tony's, Triangle bar, Mineos pizza and frankies bar type person. If you don't know what i am talking about, go somewhere else, so there is more room for us. If you do know what i am talking about. This place is for you. HANDS DOWN. The best Pittsburgh wings. The next best is the original Quaker steak and lube with the old fryers in Sharon.
(5)Joe M.
I read good reviews and was disappointed. I figured I would try is when I visited from out of town. Waited 45 minutes for 16 over cooked wings. Server couldn't really care less.
(2)brian k.
5 stars ... Period! Have to give a shout out to my favorite wing joint of all time. Nothing has changed from the early 90s including the fabulous wings, curly fries, and dated decor. Just the way it should be... No corporate franchise or expansion to ruin a good thing!!!!!
(5)Julie S.
Horrible. Btw the Pop is 2.29. For not even a can size amount in a paper cup. Overpriced and over cooked.
(1)Carey L.
Garbage small over priced wings. I would expect nice big wings from a place that markets themselves as a wing place. Honestly I would of rather eat the grilled cheese we ordered for our son. We ordered take out as we were staying at the motel next door and had our children with us. They sell beer to go which is nice but at 10.60 a six pack. We will be skipping this place next time we are in the area......NO GOOD
(1)P. L.
Let me start with the good: the beer is great, all the draft beers are craft which are a good selection and variety for whatever you might be looking for. The wait staff is also very good. The food leaves quite a bit to be desired. Don't expect Buffalo wild wings or wings and rings quality. The boneless wings are 1" by 1" cubes of lightly fried chicken, so 5 in the small order is not a lot of food by any means. The fries are good but lots of small pieces and you're best off getting a full order to receive a decent basket of them. You'll most likely need to fill up on fries to get a decent meal, as the chicken is limited.
(3)Dan H.
A little too expensive for what you get. Especially when the curly fries are cold and the wings are over cooked. Favors of wings are good but would be better if wings were not over cooked. I realize that taste is a matter of opinion but cold is cold and over cooked and dry is over cooked and dry!!
(2)bob t.
This used to be better, but is a solid 4 star place that I can routinely go after years and years, and still get too much wings, ok fries, and beer. a dive bar that I like, and would go back to. I'm a fan, as they say. ask for 'em wet if you like 'em wet. good for groups, but not too big because they are not that big. also, entrance at rear.
(4)Jarrod L.
Ok food if you like things fried but it's very overpriced for a grease pit. My 4 year old and I had chicken tenders, a half order of fries, a turkey sandwich, and a domestic bottle beer (miller lite). Total bill was $28 and that's without the tip. The lack of a kids menu really hurts the review of this place. I love supporting ma and pop businesses but draw then line when you price gouge.
(2)Tyler S.
You just don't get any better than that for wings... Nice and crispy with an original sauce not quite like anywhere else. Try the Cajun!
(5)Linda C.
I've heard for years how good the wings were here... and so we finally stopped at my husbands suggestion. With a near empty restaurant, we were guided to a table at the dark top level.. .no thanks. I asked to be seated at the lower level by a window. Table was small small small. Chair was small small small. We got a pitcher of beer as $3.50 for a draft of Bud was a bit much. Wings are sold in quantities of 5, 10 or 16. What happened to dozen or 1/2 dozen. Prices were, again, a bit high... 5 for $5.79!! Best part was the curly fries... very good. Wings were small and very disappointing. I asked for Cajun Rub, but my wings came to me wet. I was not happy. My waiter said that because I asked for hot, he assumed I wanted the wet rub as the dry rub has no heat level. Ah, he may have known that, but I didn't know that's how they did it there. That's his job, not mine to explain while ordering. We ate off of small paper plates with cheap plastic forks and used napkins that shred with the first touch. What a gold mine to be close to Robert Morris U with students who may not be used to better. WAY too expensive. We'll keep going to our dive bar - Rooster's Roadhouse. We like, no make that LOVE our dive bars, but appreciate getting our money's worth! Adding 'Dud' to the end of their name.....

Since I was about seven years old, these have been my favorite wings on the planet. To its credit and to a fault, this place hasn't changed much since the late '80s. It still smells like cigarettes, vinegar, and Tabasco sauce... and they still have neon-colored shirts and all the trimmings of 1989 culture. The wings haven't changed either... with nearly 10 flavors (Honey BBQ being my favorite) that are the best, everrr. The french fries, which come in overfilled baskets, are also an essential. This isn't health food... but when the Steelers are playing on a cold day, there's nothing finer.
(5)Amanda C.
By far my favorite wings! Crispy and wet! If you like wings, you owe it to yourself to try these. My favorite is the garlic wings with fries and a Yuengling.
(5)Lee G.
Definitely the best wings place in the world! I have been to wings places in a town of different places and nothing compares to it!
