Wings (BBQ, Teriyaki, or Buffalo)

A Guide to The Lift's Wings: BBQ, Teriyaki, Buffalo and More

Wings are one of the most ordered items at The Lift, both from the shareables section of our main menu and on Wing Wednesday, when they are $1.50 each with no limit. This page is for anyone standing at the table trying to decide on a flavor. Here is what each option tastes like and what goes well with it.

Bone-In vs Boneless

Bone-in wings are traditional: crispy skin, juicy meat and the most flavor. Boneless wings are easier to eat, great for kids and anyone watching a game who does not want sticky fingers. Every flavor below works with both.

The Flavors

Buffalo

The original bar wing. Tangy, buttery and with real heat. Pair it with a light lager or a pitcher of domestic draft on Thirsty Thursday, when pitchers are $4 off.

BBQ

Sweet, smoky and the safest pick for a mixed group. It goes well with an amber beer or a red from our wine list, like the Sawtooth Red Blend.

Teriyaki

Savory and glazed with a gentle sweetness, a good choice if you want flavor without heat. Try it with a crisp white such as the Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc.

Sweet and Spicy

The middle ground: sticky and sweet up front, with heat that builds. It is the flavor regulars recommend to first-timers.

Parmesan Garlic Dry Rub

No sauce, just a savory rub of parmesan and garlic. It keeps the wings crispy, and it is the best option for takeout because nothing gets soggy on the drive home.

How to Order for a Group

For four people, start with about two dozen wings in two or three flavors, then order another round if the table wants more. Add a basket of fries or Idaho Tatchos and you have a full game-day spread. During football season, check our football specials as well.

Our Most Popular Combinations

  • The classic split: half Buffalo, half BBQ, so everyone at the table is happy.
  • Heat seekers: Buffalo and sweet and spicy, with extra celery to cool down.
  • No-mess option: boneless in Parmesan garlic dry rub, ideal for game day or takeout.

Wings Any Day of the Week

You do not have to wait for Wednesday. Wings are always on the shareables section of our main menu, bone-in or boneless, served with celery and carrots. They are also one of the best items to order to go for a game at home.
