New to Pittsburgh and was craving wings one night after a long day. Tried to place an order online, but learned that they did not deliver to my place, even though I only live 2-3 miles and 15 minutes away. But this did not deter me! I decided to call the restaurant instead and place a pick up order. I ordered the "puddle jumper" or 10 bone in wings, half golden bbq and half 7 pepper. I also ordered a small waffle fry and a can of cherry coke. So after a very long day spent in my car, I got back in and drove through downtown Pittsburgh on a saturday night. Once I get to their location on East Carson St I found out that there is no parking to be had. This is definitely no fault of Wings Over since it is all street parking, and E Carson is a fairly busy spot for late night activities. After circling the block a few times, I parked and went in to pickup. I didn't take the time to throughly look and was handed a black bag with a few containers. After being enticed by the smell for 15 minutes, I finally got a look inside. Two boxes, no coke. Looked at the receipt to make sure. Yep, I was charged for a coke I didn't get. Annoying, but thought the food could make up for it. Waffle fries are a fav for me, by the way. Opened up the fries. No waffle. No straight cut. Crinkle cut. You know, the ones they serve in school cafeterias. Half crispy and half soggy. Again, I consulted my receipt. Yep Sm Waf fries was written clearly. Optimistic (and still hungry), I looked at my wings box. Ding Ding! Correct order. Now, on to the food review. 7 pepper was not a sauce but a dry rub. Pretty good. Nice pepper flavor; would have liked more kick though. And the wing was well fried. The golden bbq. Just. No. These wings were oversauced, and as a result, soggy and not crisp. The sauce was just okay. NO hint of bbq at all. It is a mustard based sauce I think. Lots of tang and oddly sweet. It was like a slightly more savory version of honey mustard sauce. Not that good. Oddly enough, in Morgantown, WV (my hometown), they have the gold sauce wings at Kegler's (a local sports bar), which is what these could have been. Mustard based sauce, with kick, AND other spices. There are positives though. The wings are meaty and you get good bang for your buck. The dry rub was done very well. Also they make their own ketchup for the fries. It is different from reg old Heintz, which is a go to in Pittsburgh. Nice spice kick and less sweet.
Overall: Good for a pinch; great drunk food; I would dine in next time though.
