by The OpenTable Team
Updated December 17, 2019

The quirky town of Portland, Oregon likes to "keep things weird" with its offbeat arts scene and alternative culture. That all plays out just as much when it comes to its restaurants. Craft breweries and food trucks have appeared all across town, and with them, high demand for finger foods. It comes as no surprise that the best wings in Portland have become especially popular. But where do the experts enjoy eating out? Welcome to the Tastemaker 20. We’ve gathered data from OpenTable’s most seasoned diners to find the best wings in Portland. In a city that Vice touted as one of the best food cities in the world, everyone should try these eateries. Book a table before they fill up!

Backwoods Brewing Company
4.1 (195)
$30 and under
American
Pearl District
Family-run restaurants often seem to try a little harder than most, and that’s particularly true at Backwoods Brewing Company. They serve a good selection of wine along with local and seasonal brews. The half logs behind the bar and the wood panels that list available drafts are a nice touch, but the numerous televisions positioned where everyone can see them shows the owners are geared towards making sure no one misses the game. Traditional buffalo is their only wing selection, but thanks to their house made sauce, they’re certainly some of the best wings in Portland. Guests can then choose between a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wraps and salads.

Excellent food. Friendly service. Near Portland Center Stage. Gave us a discount because we were attending a performance at PCS.

Yama Sushi & Izakaya
4.6 (369)
$31 to $50
Sushi
Southeast Portland
One may not expect to find some of the best wings in Portland in one of the city's finest sushi bars, but that's exactly what Yama Sushi & Izakaya accomplishes. Their wings are baked and come equipped with Japanese seasoning. Even though they're delicious, however, guests shouldn't overlook the seafood ramen, tuna poke, jalapeno hamachi carpaccio or impressive selection of sushi. All of these are delicious options and can be enjoyed surrounded by large Asian lanterns, cute Maneki-neko cats, intricate battle murals and unique lighting.

East India Co. Grill & Bar

Downtown
Promising the best Indian food in Downtown Portland, East India Co. Grill & Bar transports their guests right to New Delhi. An intricate skylight, traditional music and paintings celebrating a modern Genesh serve to present an authentic environment. Time-tested recipes form an impressive menu that includes Kati rolls, Goan fish curry, Malai kofta and Tandoori chicken. Their Masala wings are among the best wings in Portland, and they taste perfect with any of the signature cocktails or wide selection of beer.

While there was only one server when we arrived at 5:15 he was very attentive. The food came out quickly and was excellent. At the time we came there were only about 8 people dining so it was pleasantly quiet

Claim Jumper - Tualatin

Tualatin
Those seeking a stellar Happy Hour need to visit Claim Jumper at least once. The discounts go from 3 pm to closing time on the weekdays. This means guests can admire the antler chandelier, vintage wall art and rustic architecture without constantly watching the clock. Patrons luckily get a deep discount on some of the best wings in Portland – in mild, spicy or Asian sauce – if they show up during these hours. Even if the timing is wrong, though, the wings, fish tacos, buffalo chicken wrap and Widow Maker Burger are well worth the expense.

The Star Portland
4.9 (308)
$30 and under
Pizzeria
Pearl District
The award-winning pizzas served at The Star are enough to attract the most committed foodie in Portland, but their hard work doesn't stop there. Oven roasted cauliflower, a variety of salads, burrata caprese and some of the best wings in Portland are also available. Their spicy baked wings come with dry spice rub that cuts down on the need for Wet-Naps. The majestic mural behind the bar, old-school luxury seating and over-the-top chandeliers create a unique atmosphere that no other eatery has replicated.

Departure Restaurant and Lounge
4.5 (4436)
$30 and under
Contemporary Asian
Downtown
High atop the iconic Meier & Frank building sits Departure Restaurant – a concept that offers panoramic views of the city along with contemporary Asian cuisine. Those who sit on the exterior deck get an eyeful, but everyone inside is privy to hip decor that includes fancy chandeliers, a giant map of the Sea of Love, historic dresses hung on the walls and an overall contemporary feel. The menu is just as impressive and features smoked octopus, roasted stripe bass, skirt steak and some of the best wings in Portland – covered in sweet chili glaze.

Wow. A great experience all around. Amazing food - tried oysters, pork belly and mushrooms. Incredible! Service was one point as well. Jen and Hector helped make the evening do memorable. Thank you.

Brix - Downtown Portland
4.3 (2491)
$30 and under
Comfort Food
Downtown
Most eateries have promotions meant to bring in guests, but none come close to what is offered at Brix Tavern. Every Wednesday night, guests flip a coin with their server. If they win, they immediately receive a gift card equal to their tab’s value. This means patrons could potentially have some of the best wings in Portland – featuring pickled veggies and smoked tomato aioli – for absolutely free. Pool tables and dart boards offer patrons excitement, but relaxing in the Whiskey Room is just as appealing.
