Best Wings in Roseland
Master Critic Review
Gerry's Fish & Chicken
8.0
A wings-and-seafood carryout with enough order volume to reward consistency, especially on the bigger wing counts and combo-style meals. The best play is a wings-with-sides order that travels well, keeping sauces controlled so the fry-and-crunch texture holds up.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Primarily street parking nearby; generally manageable for quick pickup, but allow a few extra minutes during the early-evening rush when carryout volume spikes.
Dress code: Casual—hoodies, jackets, and jeans are completely fine. This is a comfort-food carryout vibe, not a dress-up spot.
Noise level: Low to moderate—more a quick in-and-out counter energy than a loud dining room. If you’re eating inside, it’s usually not a “shout over music” situation.
Weekend wait: 15–30 min for standard wing orders; 30–45 min for larger counts, combos, or fresh-fried seafood during peak rush.
Weekday lunch: 5–15 min typically; 15–25 min if you’re ordering a full dinner combo or multiple items.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mostly sides (fries, possibly slaw/other simple sides). Not a destination for vegetarian mains.
Vegan options: Very limited—generally sides only, and cross-contact risk is high in a fry-focused kitchen.
Gluten-free options: Not ideal—breaded/fried items dominate and shared fryer cross-contact is likely. If you’re gluten-sensitive, this is a risky pick.
Best For
Better for: Big-count wings, combo-style meals, and consistent carryout execution—especially when you keep sauces controlled so the crunch travels well.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a hangout dining room, strong dietary options (vegan/gluten-free), or a crisp-and-saucy wing experience you plan to eat 30+ minutes later—choose a dine-in wing spot or a lighter menu instead.
