My Carryout in Baltimore: Bone-in Wings and Sauces at Takeout Prices
My Carryout is a counter-service wing shop in West Baltimore that sells bone-in and boneless wings by the pound, with a focused sauce menu and no dine-in seating or bar service.
What My Carryout actually is
Located on Pennsylvania Avenue, My Carryout operates as a straightforward takeout operation built around wing orders, sides, and drinks. The business does not function as a sports bar or sit-down restaurant. Instead, it functions as a destination for orders to-go, with the operational efficiency of a place that expects you to order at the counter and leave. No tables, no TVs, no lingering.
Wings, sauces, and pricing
My Carryout sells wings by the pound rather than by piece count. A standard order runs 1 to 3 pounds; a pound typically yields 8 to 10 bone-in wings. Boneless wings are also available. Sauce options include mild, medium, hot, lemon pepper, and garlic parmesan, with prices that remain stable throughout the year (verify current rates by calling ahead, as promotional bundles occasionally shift). A 1-pound order of bone-in wings with sauce costs approximately $10 to $12, depending on sauce selection; boneless wings run slightly higher. The shop also offers wings in bulk for parties or office orders, with discounts available for quantities above 5 pounds.
Sides include fries, mac and cheese, collard greens, and corn bread. A standard side order costs $3 to $5. Drinks are canned or bottled beverages, priced between $2 and $3.
How it compares to other Baltimore wing destinations
Bdoubs Barroom in Fells Point offers wing service alongside a full bar and sports-bar atmosphere, with games on multiple screens and a seated crowd. Bdoubs operates primarily as a hangout; My Carryout does not. Bdoubs prices wings per piece count (typically 10 for $8 to $10) and emphasizes flavored sauces and wing specials tied to game days. If you want to sit, drink, and watch a game, Bdoubs serves that purpose. My Carryout is faster and cheaper for a quick wing pickup.
Thirsty's in Canton also serves wings as part of a full sports-bar menu, with sit-down service and beer selection. Again, the trade-off is speed and simplicity. My Carryout operates on the assumption that you do not need ambiance or a drink list; you need wings fast.
For bulk wing orders or catering, My Carryout's pound-based pricing and takeout-only model makes it more economical than bar-based options that mark up wings to support their full-service operations.
Who this suits, and who it doesn't
My Carryout suits someone who lives or works nearby and wants a reliable, affordable pound of wings without the delay of a sit-down restaurant or sports bar. Office workers, shift workers, and people feeding a household of 4 to 6 find the economics straightforward.
It does not suit someone seeking a social wing-eating experience, a full drinks program, or a place to linger. If you want wings as part of an evening out, this is not that place.
What the first visit involves
Walk in, review the sauce menu posted above the counter, and tell the staff how many pounds of wings you want and what sauce. They fry to order, sauce them while hot, and bag them for you. The entire transaction typically takes 8 to 12 minutes. Have cash or a card ready; ask about the payment method when you enter. Pick a side if you want one, and leave.
Hours, parking, and logistics
My Carryout operates on Pennsylvania Avenue in West Baltimore, a neighborhood with street parking. Hours typically run 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., though confirm by calling before a late-night visit (hours occasionally shift with staffing). The storefront is small; do not expect a waiting area if the shop is busy during dinner rush (5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays).
My Carryout fills the narrow gap between a full-service restaurant and a grocery-store freezer option. For a pound of freshly fried wings at a price that leaves money in your pocket, it remains a solid choice in West Baltimore.
