Wings and sports go together as naturally as bread and butter or cookies and milk—and while most sports bars have wings on the menu, not all are created equal. If you’re in town for the College World Series and find yourself craving chicken wings while you watch the games, these are the Omaha restaurants you need to check out!
Best Wings in Omaha Near Charles Schwab Field
Nite Owl
This quirky Blackstone bar might not be a traditional wing hub, but one bite will show you why these are some of the best wings in Omaha. Prepared similarly to traditional Korean wings, Nite Owl’s batter includes corn starch, and the wings are doubled fried to create a crisp crust while keeping the meet juicy. Traditionalists will love the buttery Buffalo, while more adventurous wing enthusiasts can try the Korean BBQ or Thai Sweet Chili. Vegans are welcome too, with Cauliflower Wings that are nearly as good as the chicken version.

Omaha Tap House
Omaha Tap House is best known as one of the best burger places in Omaha, but its wings are no slouch, either. With nine house-made sauces and five dry rubs, there’s no shortage of flavor—whether you’re brave enough for the fiery Inferno or prefer the sweet-and-spicy kick of the Smoky Candied Bourbon.

More Must-Try Omaha Wings
Tracks Lounge
The wings at Tracks Lounge have become the stuff of legend over the past 60 years—and they live up to the hype. These jumbo wings feature a perfectly crispy shell that locks in all the juicy flavor inside. What really sets Tracks apart, though, is its unique ordering system. After frying, the wings are tossed in a starter sauce, then finished on the grill and coated in a second sauce of your choice. The double-sauce process builds deep, layered flavor—perfect for pairing with a game.

Everett’s
The wings at Everett’s start with a house brine that ensures they stay juicy during their trip in the deep fryer. They can be ordered naked, fried and tossed, or fried and grilled—and pros know the latter is the way to go. Not only does the fry give the skin a nice crunch, but the grilling locks in and caramelizes all the flavor from the sauce. Everett’s has nine signature sauces all across the heat spectrum and unleashes a new special sauce each week, so there’s always something new to try here.

Hurrdat Sports Bar & Grill
With one of the most family-friendly atmospheres and best TV set-ups in Omaha, Hurrdat Sports Bar & Grill stands out among the best Omaha sports bars as a great place to post up and catch the College World Series action—even if you’re not eating. Should you get hungry, however, go for the wings. HSB has nine different sauce options, which can be ordered with bone-in or boneless wings. And if you opt for the former, you can even order all flats or all drumsticks if you have a preference.
Jukes Ale Works
Jukes Ale Works is known for three things: its line of craft beers, its sun-splashed rooftop patio, and its delicious Salted Caramel Wings. There’s nothing quite like these wings in Omaha, as the sweet notes of the sticky caramel sauce are woven with the smokiness of whiskey, and large chunks of sea salt bring great texture. Jukes has plenty of more common wing flavors too—such as House Buffalo and Roasted Garlic Parmesan—but the Salted Caramel are the talk of the town for good reason.

Oscar’s Pizza & Sports Grille
Even before you get to the food, the vibe and plethora of TVs make Oscar’s Pizza & Sports Grille a fantastic place to catch College World Series games. But the wings make the experience even better. You can order them traditional, char-buffed, or double-dipped, so there are all kinds of options to enjoy. And, given that you can place orders of up to 50 wings at a time, Oscar’s is a great place to gather your fan base or group of friends to cheer on your CWS teams.
Porky Butts BBQ
Just take a glance around Porky Butts BBQ, and you’ll see trophies and ribbons from BBQ competitions lining the walls—a clear sign that owner Blane Hunter knows his way around meat. That expertise shows in Porky Butts’ Smoked Chicken Wings, which are smoked first, then fried to achieve a savory, deep flavor balanced perfectly with a crispy outer skin.
