MoJo’s Magic: Best Wings in Town

Delivery to the museum district isn’t great. I have some pizza options, a Chinese option, and then what. Really, MoJo’s Philadeli is the only place with some other options… not to mention the only place that I can find that delivers real chicken wings. It was wing delivery one night that changed my whole perspective on wings in Richmond.

I still have to order them to my specs- extra crispy, extra sauce, but when they come out, they are fantastic: meaty, crunchy and flavorful. Best of all, they have $.35 night on Mondays (Dine-In after 7).

My only complaint is that there is some variation based on output based on who is in the kitchen- differences in quantity of sauce, size can be smaller on Mondays, etc. Variance happens and no matter what, I still had always had good wings.

As for flavors, I have only had the hot and the spicy garlic. The hot comes close to perfecting the tradition Buffalo wing. Spicy garlic is very different from their counterpart at Buffalo Wild Wings. This version has an oily, garlicky sauce with peppers and scallions on top. It almost has a Thai flair to it.

I still love me some Planet Wings, but I just love MoJo’s a little more right now.

Note- I am referring to the MoJo’s near VCU. I cannot speak for the one on Patterson.

    I’ve had mixed experiences with the one on Patterson – the first time I ordered wings they were fantastic. The next couple times, they’ve been over-cooked and dry.

    They still make good sandwiches and fries, though.

    My favorite wings are at Commerical Taphouse.

    I’ve probably eaten my weight in those dirty bird parts.

    Joss- they have solid wings at CTH. For some reason I am a sucker for the traditional wing sauce.

    I must, humbly, beg to differ with this award. The best wings in the city are the “Hot” Out of Bounds Wings at Gus’s on Broad. The wings are so good they survived two changes in ownership and a change in name. I hesitated at the thought of putting this information out there, but, I have sacrificed for the greater good.
