best wings i have ever tasted, i will never eat hot wings anywhere else, if your not a wing person they have a wide variety of sandwiches and other great foods, i recommend the spicy chicken sandwich, my friend had it and she really loved it. we shared a basket of onion rings which were very fresh and crunchy. the waitress was very friendly and nice. i will definitely be coming again soon

Pros: great food, fast and friendly service, flat screen tv's

Cons: hard to find

Wow,
I absolutely LOOOOVVVEEE!!! Hot wings Cafe and they have been pretty consistent with quality for a number of years. All of my firends swear by their HOT WINGS...and I do agree...HOWEVER!!!!!! what has me coming back (many more times than I really should) is none other than their SPICY BARBECUE WINGS!!!!! If you have not tried them , then you are missing out. Definitely not your regular barbecue anything........I'm getting ready to make my order in a few minutes. Can't wait to eat them on a rainy Friday.

Pros: Spciy Barbecue Wings, LCD TV's to watch your favorite programs, good service

Cons: close parking, no delivery

I had their chicken wings at the hot level and they were delicious!! I have had my fair share of wings and these were some of the best I have ever had, for sure the best in L.A. I also had their curly fries which came our fresh and hot. I would definetly reccommend this place to anyone who enjoys wings!

Pros: Great wings and service

Cons: none

Excellent wings. Especially because you can order mild, hot, extra hot, etc... Prices are reasonable and for the price, this is a no-brainer. You pay about $25 for a tray of 50 wings. Which, if you order the most spicy, you probably won't finish, even if you have several people with you. But don't get scared, you can order different levels of spiciness.

I always order to go and if they say that the wings will be ready in 25 minutes, I can walk in there at exactly 25 minutes and they will be waiting for me at the front counter. Excellent, speedy cooking.

Pros: mild, hot, extra hot, etc...

Cons: parking is sometimes somewhat of a hassle on melrose avenue if you are just picking up to go

saw this place while searching online so i figured i would give it a shot. Ordered to go and the food was ready on time and it seemed like it was pretty full when I went in there so that was a good sign.

The wings were sort of similar to the ones i get back in NY. I had the hot and mild (yes been there twice in 2 weeks). The hot were not bad at all . I tried the french dip but was not to satisfied (after eating it at philipes I figured it could not touch it)

anyways i'm craving wings right now , i would definitely head back there. They are not the biggest wings in the world but not the smallest.

Pros: delicious . tasty. fast service

Cons: parking , small wings

This is one of my favorite places to eat late at night. The hot wings are delicious -- I can't say much about the rest of the menu because we always get the wings. All the food is served in a basket and they have TV's on the wall. There is no atmosphere, but if you're hungry for wings after midnight, this is the place to go.

Pros: yummy wings, late hours

Cons: sleazy pool-hall ambience

These wings are brilliant, and the onion rings are the best I have ever had.

Pros: food, inexpensive

Melrose. There IS parking around the corner at the Aaron Bros. that is free with validation. The wings come in mild, spicy, extra hott (my favorite), and spicy bbq. They are also crispy on the outside. Choose from several sides and ranch or bleu cheese for dipping. You also get a good amount of celery and carrot sticks to cool you down. Crunch, crunch! Be sure to bring a healthy appetite when you go. The wings may be a little small, but you get more than you can finish. I can barely finish twelve. With a side order, forget it. Not too expensive. Last time I went, I ordered one small order of wings, one side, and an iced tea which was promptly refilled when empty. About $10 per person. If you're in the mood for wings, I definately recommend!

Pros: extra hott wings, casual atmosphere, value

Cons: somewhat slow service

I never really liked buffalo wings until I came to this place. The mild ones are flavorful without the heat. The BBQ ones are good, too. The hot ones are slightly numbing to the lips; I dont wanna know about the extra hots. I went with co-workers. The fried zucchini was very good; the onion rings are from fresh onions. The Chicken Works sandwich and the Chinese chicken salad looked very good. Great value for lunch. Our server came around with pitchers of drinks for refills. Only drawback for the Melrose location - you gotta park on the street. Been to Glendale and Pasadena; drink selection is better, and they have a nicer atmosphere (but you must park in metered or paid lots).

Pros: Great wings, Great appetizers, Great other stuff

Cons: U park in the street, Or a paid lot, But pros beat cons

I've been to both Hot Wing Cafe loc's. Melrose and in Old Towne Pas. The wings are very good, but also very small. The ranch for dipping is GREAT! Thick not runny. The fried zuchini is also good. The service in Pasadena is the best...If you want cold beer to wash those wings and things down, this is the place.

Pros: GOOD WINGS, GOOD COLD BEER, GOOD RANCH DRESSING

Cons: SMALL WINGS
