51 Wings And Things - Pittsburgh

The Bacon Cheeseburger appeared smaller in person compared to the promotional images, especially since I didn't add any vegetables. However, taking my first bite of the half-pound burger completely changed my perspective—it was packed with flavor! The meat was tasty and perfectly seasoned to my liking, while the bun was beautifully buttered and toasted. The crispy bacon was generous, too. Overall, this burger is a game changer that outshines most burger places. I used to think Five Guys had the best burger around until I tried this one—it doesn’t even compare. Although it's called 51 Wings n Things, I've found my new go-to spot when craving a uniquely delicious burger. Now, about the fries—the "small" portion was anything but small! I expected the usual tiny serving, but instead, I received a full basket of perfectly cooked fries. I can only imagine how big the "large" size must be! I ordered a side of cheese; it turned out to be nacho cheese instead of cheddar, which I prefer on fries anyway, so that was great. The portion was surprisingly generous for the price. Since I couldn’t visit a wing restaurant without trying their wings, I ordered a six-piece just to sample them (I mainly came for the burger after all). The wings were your standard naked variety, but they were cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I have no complaints. They take their wings seriously, offering a variety of 51 dry and wet sauces and seasonings. I went with BBQ Ranch, which was a unique twist and a delicious change from my usual plain ranch. While waiting for our food, I noticed another customer enjoying a "bowl," which looked really appetizing. Curious, I checked the menu, and it features your choice of meat (like steak or chicken), cheese, sauce, all on a bed of fries. I'm definitely going back to try that; it piqued my interest! The restaurant itself has a cozy, typical non-chain pizza shop vibe, with two large TVs for entertainment. It appeared clean and well-maintained. The female staff member was courteous but had a somewhat indifferent demeanor. She only appeared when customers walked in, which I didn't mind; I prefer not to be hovered over while eating. The only downside I found was that they only offer bottled drinks (Coke products) and, for you Turner’s tea lovers out there, Schneider’s tea (a knockoff of Turner’s). I had to pace myself with the drinks to avoid spending too much on multiple 20-ounce bottles. A fountain drink system would have been a great addition, both for maximizing profits and reducing costs for customers. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food—no complaints from me. Our total for two burgers, two small fry orders (one with cheese, one with ranch), a six-piece wing with one sauce, and three bottles of soda came to $35, including a small tip. All in all, it was a fantastic place to have dinner—filling and delicious. If you don’t live nearby and enjoy a drive, it’s definitely worth it. I will be visiting again soon; I still have to try that intriguing bowl! Great job, 51 Wings n Things! Below is a photo of the food—yum!

The wings were fantastic—large, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Unlike many pizza places and even sports bars I've been to, this place really stands out in that aspect. There were so many sauce options that I wish they had a special sauce feature for the month or week to help me make up my mind. I tried the spicy wings, which were recommended, and I wasn't disappointed. They had just the right amount of heat while still allowing the flavors of the wings and sauce to shine through. I'm definitely adding this place to my favorites!

I initially called to place a delivery order and was informed that I had to order online instead. I complied and ended up being charged a $1.50 convenience fee, a $4.99 delivery fee, and a $0.75 small order fee. Seriously? On top of that, the food arrived cold and took longer than I anticipated. To make matters worse, the pizza was burnt! I won't be ordering from here again!

We order from here at least once a month and they have the best burgers around. We've never had any problems with undercooked or overcooked wings. The customer service is fantastic!

Burnt pizza and chicken salad had 5 tiny french fries on top of it. Never again.
