We searched long and hard for the best wings in Pittsburgh, and we finally found them at Nox's Tavern! This is a hole-in-the-wall small establishment with a lot of heart and great food. We find ourselves here at least once a week! The kind and friendly waitresses are always quick and efficient, and one even brings over our drinks as soon as we sit down. They are the best waitresses around.
We always start our meal with a basket of their homemade chips, and they frequently come out piping hot. They are generously salted, and crispy after they have cooled. Since their wings are so good, we usually go for those. Wing night is on Mondays, but their prices are so reasonable that we get them on non-wing nights as well. I love the sea salt and cracked black pepper, which are dusted with oil and big chunks of pepper. My husband usually orders the spicy garlic Parmesan, which come with actual strips of Parmesan on top. He also loves the wet Cajun, and we occasionally share the dry Cajun. He has also had the hamburger, and enjoyed the fresh buns and generous toppings.
They have a nice outdoor patio that we frequented quite a lot this summer and September, but the inside is never usually too loud (except the one night when a live band was playing, which turned out to be a lot of fun!).
Last week, we ended up here on trivia night, and we had a great time and won $15 for a return visit. We will definitely be using it soon for more delicious wings!
