Topping the list is Uptown Thai. Located at 4817 Ross Ave. in East Dallas, the Thai restaurant, which serves chicken wings and noodles, is the highest-rated budget-friendly chicken wing destination in Dallas, boasting 4.5 stars out of 109 reviews on Yelp.

"Overall, Uptown Thai is a great value," wrote Yelper Patricia R., who reviewed Uptown Thai on Feb. 15. "Portions are filling but not overwhelming — when you consider entrees are under $10, this spot certainly adds up to value. ... Wings are delicious, crispy and huge!"

And Latoria S. noted, "The sweet Thai chili wings were fried right and very crispy. I also had the drunken noodles, and they were full of flavor. The staff is amazing, [and the] cashier gave great recommendations."
