Wing-itz the seacoast wing butchery has been open in Portsmouth NH since 2007, but recently opened up a new location in Dover NH. I could not have been happier as Wing-itz has been named the best wings in the state for a eight years running but I have never been to the Portsmouth location so I was ready to try some amazing wings!
A couple things I learned about wing-itz is that they hand cut their all natural wings each day. They have over 30 sauces from sweet to really spicy! They use as many local ingredients as possible and it takes them 24 hours to make their hand cut fries!
So a couple of weeks ago when Jim and I were getting a few things done we decided to stop in at Wing-itz for a quick lunch. When you walk in you can go to the right (the bar area) and grab a table there for full service. You can go to the hostess stand area, place your order and sit at one of the long community tables they have. We did not realize that the bar area was full service so we placed our order and sat at one of the high tables in the bar area, they don’t have many tables for just two people and honestly I’m not a fan of the community tables.
Jim ordered the Chicken Bahn Mi Sub (6 inch for $5.00 or 12 inch for $10.00). This sub has lettuce, cilantro, carrots, chicken and a spicy Thai peanut dressing. Jim loved this sub. The greens were fresh, chicken was juicy and the Thai peanut sauce was spicy but not overpowering. I can attest this is a great sub!
I ordered the lunch combo seen above (first image) for $11.00. How could I not order wings at a wing place? My lunch combo included 5 wings. I chose the honey BBQ sauce, fries and a drink. (I had a water bottle, you can choose soda as well). The wings were crispy, tender, and full of that sweet honey BBQ sauce! These are messy wings but thankfully you have plenty of paper towels and wet naps right at the table. The fries; let’s talk about those fries that take 24 hours to make! I always hate to say “something is the best that I have ever had”, BUT these fries are so crispy on the outside and so tender, well seasoned and yes, these fries are the best I have ever had!
That concludes our lunch but not this post. It was funny as not too long after we left I posted some pictures on Facebook and a dear friend commented that he was just there getting take out for himself and his partner Norm. Except Greg was getting the “wicked hot” wings with extra sauce! Gregg and Norm loved the wicked hot wings and gave them a five star review. But funny enough Greg admitted his wicked hot days are over he will be having the hot wings next time! Another neighbor of mine (shout out to Mary Ann) also mentioned how they love the Portsmouth location. They love the wings, fried pickles and truffle fries!
So, there you have it folks! Wing-itz has some very happy customers! I was telling Robby
(number one son) about this place and he was very interested in trying it, so a few days later when Jim was out of town, I stopped in and picked up some take out for Robby and I! This time I wanted to try one of the salads, so I ordered the boneless buffalo chicken salad for $11.00, as well as the garlic Parmesan wings and you know I had to have those fries too!
The salad can be ordered with any level of heat you want, I’m wimpy, so I got the mild buffalo sauce. This salad comes with romaine, tomatoes, croutons and blue cheese dressing. It was more than enough for Robby and I to share. Excellent salad!
I ordered just five of the Garlic Parmesan Wings and as you can see they don’t skimp on this sauce either! These wings were not quite as crispy as the other wings but that could have been due to the extra time it took me to get them home. Robby and I both agreed the wings had great flavor and it is one I would order again. The wings can be ordered in implements of five and you can order as many as 50! Over 30 sauces, although not all of the sauces are available at the Dover location. They have wings, wraps, lots of sauces and salads but they also have sandwiches and a number of sides to choose from. The fries can be plain or with a curry mayo, truffle salt and herb to just name a couple. But if potato chips and fried pickles are up your alley guess what? They have those too. They also have something called Jalepeno Wheels that are currently only served in the Portsmouth location. These are fried pickled jalapeño slices served with a buttermilk ranch dressing. I am really hoping this item finds its way to the Dover location!
