    Different menu deals 7 days a week, always something new to entice you but we usually end up having the wings because they are some of the best in the city. Cheap $10 pitchers and $3 mixed drinks most nights add to how awesome this place is.

    Service is hit or miss depending on the server working, sometimes they insist on playing loud R&B Top 40, like its a Sunday afternoon and its a sports bar atmosphere, just put on something we can ignore.  

    Also beware of the heat range from Hot to Hot Wings 911, its way too wide.

    I wouldn't recommend getting anything delivered. The company they use, Just Eat, brings food that is barely warm and soggy. Probably leaving it in the heat bag for too long.

    I'd give this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the hit or miss service as the food is awesome every time we go.

    The place is alright, I came here to try their Mon-Fri wings lunch special for $7.99 (with a purchase of a drink -_-), my boyfriend got their thursday special: 4 wings, ribs and fries for $9.99.
    The food was good, I liked their lemon and pepper wings! However, the service was pretty crap. I had the blonde waiter who wasn't very attentive, we had to flag her down for the bill and when it came, she charged my boyfriend's special double!

    The second time I came here was with friends for dinner because we all wanted wings and it was the closest to my work. The restaurant is small, so the two waiters were nice enough to join tables together. The only problem was, one of the waiters threw the menu in front of me. I thought I might've been exaggerating, but my friends also agreed that she did.

    Attention chili-heads.  I think their 2nd hottest sauce is hotter than duff's hottest, and that's saying something.  I'm scared to find out what the ghost chili sauce is all about.  The 911 had me in an awesome world of hurt, and it's been a while since that has happened.  I did the BBQ wings tossed in the 911 sauce and it was really good, a nice surprise.  The sauce wasn't vinegary, salty, or greasy... just some great tasting pain.  Service was about average but really friendly.  I think next time I will try the suicide.  Oh and the place is pretty cheap too, 30 dollar bill with booze isn't too shabby.

    I can't speak for the food at this place, as the service was so terrible, I couldn't even order any.  
    Went to Hot WIngs to watch some NFL playoffs and have some wings one Saturday in January.  My boyfriend and I were the only two people in the entire place.  We ordered a pitcher of beer, and that was the last we saw of our waitress for 45 minutes, when we walked up to her to get the bill.  We tried to flag her down to get appetizers, turn the TV to something other than poker, like PLAYOFF football, but she was more concerned with texting on her phone and eating her cereal at the bar.  
    When it was about 15 minutes into the game and 45 minutes since we had seen her, we decided to leave and go somewhere else.  I did mention we were the only two people in the place, right?  
    Don't come to this place if you expect to get any service whatsoever.

    The fries are like if you took Swiss Chalet fries and spiced/salted them up a bit so they tingle on the tongue as they melt.
    I had the pulled pork sandwich and am just wowed at how amazing it was. The pork was tasty, succulent and juicy, covered in delicious BBQ sauce. Felt like a simple but amazing meal.
    Beer was great too - what can be said about beer though? - they keep the glasses in a cooler until they pour it so it was nice and cold.
    The owner was nice and I got to sample some of the sauces while we talked- some amazing flavours in there! Next time I'll try the wings!

    OMG I love this place. So glad that a wing place that does day delivery has opened. Dennis is right about the fries, very like Swiss Chalet which I love. The staff are friendly, haven't gone during a big game so not sure what it's like when crazy busy, usually pretty quiet when I've gone and they have decent deals on pitchers and wings and various midweek specials worth checking out.

    I was quite surprised how quiet this establishment was when I visited on a Tuesday wing night. I of course craving chicken ordered wings but they were nothing special, good flavour and very meaty but the actual wings themselves were VERY DRY. With the dill dipping sauce, they did become better, but some pieces were slightly overcooked with noticeable burnt marks on them. My highlight was probably the fries as I agree with my fellow yelpers that they were similiar to Swiss Chalet's but better - seasoned and cooked perfectly crispy, :)

    Service was fast and friendly.  Always some type of drink special.  Typical sports bar atmosphere.  Found the wings to be a touch dry.  I like crispy skin and juicy meat but didn't get that here.  Too much salt in everything.... the batter on the deep fried pickles the fries and the wing dip.  I know it's bar food but the salt was overwhelming.  Might go back for a beer.
