Maryland’s Best Chicken Wings Have Been Named, According to Tasting Table

A Baltimore Irish pub has been named the best place for chicken wings in Maryland, according to Tasting Table’s recently published list, “Where To Find The Best Chicken Wings In Every US State.”

Delia Foley’s Pub, located at 1439 S. Charles Street in Baltimore’s Federal Hill neighborhood, earned the distinction for its extensive wing selection, smoked wings, and longstanding reputation among local customers.

In compiling the list, Tasting Table evaluated restaurants based on factors including chicken quality, atmosphere, deals, customer reviews, and industry recognition. The publication focused on independently operated establishments and smaller regional chains rather than major national chains.

“Listed among ThreeBestRated’s top pubs in Baltimore, this Irish bar is celebrated for its smoked wings, craft beers, and signature cocktails,” Tasting Table wrote. The publication also highlighted the pub’s recognition in local wing competitions and previous honors from SouthBMore’s Best Awards, Enjoy Travel, CBS News, and 24/7 Wall St.

Delia Foley’s opened in January 2011 at the corner of Fort Avenue and South Charles Street and has since become a popular neighborhood sports bar known for its chicken wings and casual Irish pub atmosphere.

The restaurant offers dozens of rotating wing flavors and multiple preparation styles, including smoked wings and specialty sauces. Beyond wings, its menu features traditional pub favorites such as Irish cheesesteaks, fish tacos, loaded tots, quesadillas, and shepherd’s pie.

Tasting Table’s selections were based on customer reviews, food quality, house-made sauces, service, previous accolades, and coverage from media outlets and travel publications.
