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.

    Review for Drovers Inn We made reservations for Mother’s Day and were seated right away—great start to a special day! The service was prompt and friendly, and the food didn’t disappoint. The wings were excellent, as always—crispy and flavorful. Drovers never lets us down. Highly recommend!

    13 years in the area and my only regret is not visiting sooner. One of the oldest establishments in the area, a historic landmark with excellent food and service. The wings are great and the broasted chicken is amazing. An absolute must stop in the valley!

    Drover's Inn has some of the best wings I've ever had! Drover's is a really cool land mark with cool antiques and alot of history and has been there for many years and is still kicking!

    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.

    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.
