Where do you go when you’re in the mood for chicken wings? If you’re from West Virginia, you probably go to the Drover’s Inn in Wellsburg. It’s been around for a long time – the building is on the National Register of Historic Places – but that only adds charm to the experience of chowing down on the best wings you’ve ever tasted!

Tucked away outside Wellsburg, West Virginia is a historic brick building, the Drover’s Inn Restaurant and Tavern. Ask anyone – you won’t find better wings anywhere else. Drover’s Inn makes them extra crispy and extra flavorful, with tons of flavor options: Mild, Medium, Hot, Suicidal, Atomic, Hurt Me, Honey BBQ, Buffalo Garlic, Sweet Hot Oriental, Butter Garlic, Garlic Parmesan.

    Don't eat in the basement. It is loaded with cobwebs, dust, and mold. Getting refills was impossible, and the soda tasted like seltzer water. I got wings and got the next level up from hot, and they were not hot at all. The fries were so soggy and undercooked. I don't see the hype of this place, it's mediocre at best.

    Great place. Wings are so good relatives from Arizona come here just to get some. Not really, but we try to get here about once a month always go for the buffalo garlic wings and steak fries. I cannot think of a time when i have been disappointed here; always great service.

    If you can make a reservation in advance do so. We like to eat in the basement trust me the atmosphere is awesome. We go for the wings of course they have a lot of other stuff on the menus but the wings are where it's at.

    I love this place. The cellar is my favorite. The wings are delicious and so is the shrimp basket. Even the waffle fries are amazing. I highly recommend getting them with cheese and bacon. This place is a whole experience.

    What an atmosphere. It's a historic house converted into a restaurant. The food was phenomenal.. lots of unique options. And the basement bar was very cool (though small). Must visit if you are within 30 minutes.
