wings were pretty meaty, breaded, and saucy.
tequila lime was good, but curious to try some of the hotter ones.
can't say i was mesmerized by the flavor but i think it was above average

I placed a delivery order and was told it was going to take 45 minutes to an hour. The order taker was supposedly experiencing problems processing not one but two credit cards of mine which were completely fine and mentions that my payment will be processed at the door via debit. An hour goes by with no sign so I give them a call. I was told that the order left 20 minutes ago, and we are within a 10 minute walk. When I registered my concern for the lateness, I was told to "relax". Unbelievable. The driver finally showed up close to an hour and a half after I had placed the order. By this time we were getting ready to sit down to tuna sandwiches we were forced to make out of sheer hunger, so I turned him away. Completely unacceptable service. If I find unexplained charges on my credit card bills I will be updating this review. Avoid at all costs!!!

Wings here are tasty but unfortunately they use MSG is their sauces. Boo. I'm looking forward to Wild Wings opening on King Street.

After the last review, circumstances changed. There was correspondence, and we decided to try again.
Full Order:
# The Wing Man
# 25 Roaster Wings
# 13 Salt & Malt Vinegar
# 12 Buffalo Mild
# Fries
# Veggies & Dip
# 2 Brownies
# 2 pops -- upgraded to Boylan's soda (Black Cherry and Orange - POINTS HERE!!)
The husfriend found the wings to be more enjoyable, flavour was evenly coated. Very nice. Meat was tender and definitely 'meaty'. :D -- His words. :) Thumbs up!
I found the Salt and Vinegar with a good flavour this time. They were not just 'plain' wings as of last time. Even my roommate, A, said, "Why does it smell like Salt and Vinegar in here o.0?" This is a good sign. :) You got the beautiful salt and sharp vinegar with every bite. Yum.
Our order came with the regular sized fries, which were really enjoyable. It's a shame that they come in such a small quantity. The roommate, G, really enjoyed them and did so by sneaking along and grabbing a few!
The amazing thing was that Rob (the founder) had also included some sauces for us to try (garlic and onion free, for the husfriend). We got BBQ Honey, BBQ Peppercorn, and their Tequilla Lime sauce. We have instantly fallen in love with the peppercorn sauce and highly recommend it. Next rated would be the Tequilla Line. Honey wasn't too intense. I like my flavour sharp. It's just me, but the honey could be really nice.
VERDICT:
The husfriend says that he would love to order from here again, as long as the quality remains the same. Wings, Burgers, Meaty meat, and Fries are the husfriend's main food groups (and he still only weighs about 140lbs -- he has severe allergies). The only thing that he would change would be the amount of fries. The portion of fries that is given is 5oz. The average single potato weight (before frying) is approx. 8 oz. Essentially, we're each given our own single potato. I respect the portioning in a world of fast food where we don't know how to stop, but for a man who loves his french fries, they weren't enough. :(
I would order from here again. The customer care was amazing this time around and I give kudos to those that deserve it. ROB, KUDOS! :D I will remember you guys when I have a large party next time, especially for pizza and wing night!
4.5/5
0.5 taken for the size o' the fries. :(
Great job guys!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Brandon M.

Maybe it's just me but the wings here don't seem that big. They are, however, pretty tasty, though none of the sauces are hot enough for me (nothing approaching Death or Armageddon at Duff's)...seriously, they offer all these sauces and can't just create one that is actually really, really hot? Also, the wings come with far too little sauce on them.
These are both correctable (I did ask for more sauce once and there was a *little* more sauce on them), but as it stands I prefer Duff's or even Puck N Wings (which are overly fried, but much bigger and saucier). -

OK, this is the hardest place to review for me because depending on the day, this place can get a 5 star review or a 1 star review.
I'm going to give this place a 4star because at it's best, this place IS the best wing place in the city. These wings are so unbelievable tasty. Crispy on the outside, moist and meaty on the inside. This is TWC at it's best.
Unfortunately you NEVER know what you are going to get at this place. Small wings or big wings? A mix of some gigantic wings and some tiny wings? Do they have fryers and roasters or just fryers or just roasters? Is it 50% more wings everyday or just on Monday/Tuesday? Do they even do 50% more wings anymore?
NO CONSISTENCY!
The wings here are always tasty, even when they are tiny, but it is very disappointing when you open the box to find tiny wings when a week ago, the wings you got where the size of a small child. -

Inedible. Had the salt and pepper wings. Hardly any salt, no pepper. Batter was thick and hard. I think the seasoning just bounced off of it, hence the lack of salt and pepper. Wings, if you managed to chip through the batter, were dry, dry, dry. We ate the fries (good) and the onion rings (good), but threw most of the wings away. Very disappointing.

It was a happy day for my family when a new wing joint opened up in our hood this month. We popped in there for some takeout Sunday night and were more than delighted. I couldn't go in because we had the dog, so the 3 of us peered in at the menu from outside. Surprisingly, the woman working there came outside and handed us a pamphlet so we could more easily decide on our order. Nice service!
The real challenge here is actually choosing what type of sauce to get. There are over 40 choices, from traditional (BBQ, Buffalo, and Thai Chili) to the more interesting (Guinness, sea salt and malt, and lime).
Finally, we went with 10 Orange Ginger Zinger wings, and 10 hot wings. We also got fries with our orders, and upgraded one of them to a poutine (which was only 2.50).
The wings: Crispy, generously saucy, and tangy. The hot was hot. The owner told us that the orange ginger flavour was a bit controversial, but we both loved it.
The poutine: Nice size, lots of gravy, thick cut fries. The curds were good, but I would have enjoyed a few more of them.
The service: Great! So friendly, and willing to offer advice on their many choices. The woman also brought our order outside to us in the freezing cold. The menu offered onion rings, cheese sticks, and other yummy looking stuff.
Bonus: Veggies and dipping sauce! Among the flavour choices: Chipotle and Dill...my fav!!!
Our order of 20 wings, poutine, fries, 2 veggies and 2 dipping sauces came to a ridiculous $24.27. I'll definitely be back to sample some more flavours and sides!Listed in: FTR's n' all dat., Poo-teen

Review from Sam G.

The wings are good, really good. Check them out. Ideally get a few wing lovers together and get a few different of 40+ flavours. You need to take-out or get delivery if you want beer with your wings. Monday or Tuesday get 50% more wings for same price. I'd definitely return. That's the bottom line.
I decided to check out this place, eating in, after a verbal, effusive recommendation at the last Elite event from Kelly O. as well as the further very positive Yelp reviews. On to the bullet point list!
Pros:
+ Clearly the wings (meaty and crispy). I decided to get the Smoked Lime & Tequila flavour (delicious) after 5 minutes inspecting the menu.
+ Wings were pretty saucy which I don't normally like but in this case was great because the sauce was really good.
+ Lots (well, at least 39) of other interesting sauce choices.
+ Pleasant, cheerful service... finally offered me a sample of one of the wing flavours after much hemming and hawing about what to get (designed to generate aforementioned sample... probably could have just asked for one).
+ Clean and well organized layout with plenty of condiments available.
+ They have the big wet-naps (like a towel).
Cons
- Unlicensed. Has to be mentioned if you want to compare to Duffs/ St.Louis/etc. I really wanted a beer. Or put another way you really only want to take-out or get delivery.
- Small location - 10 seats. Back to the take-out or delivery.
- Tried to upsell me to Boylan's soft drink instead of diet pepsi... bush league.
- Fries were a little underdone, but edible.
- Celery was a little on the white-ish side. -

Worst wing place ever. Should've read Eva H's review. Wings were heavily battered and tasted like cardboard.

Very rarely am I surprised, and even MORE rarely am I pleasantly surprised. The Wing Company, with its welcoming hole in the wall atmosphere it has done just that. Blink and you'll miss it, or possibly thinks its a dry cleaner (it's just that small).
Inside the layout is simple and effective. 1 counter, 1 open to view kitchen, stools, raised tables and most importantly the menu. Lots of flavours, and the two I had on my first ever visit make me want to try the entire line up.
It is important to note, I'm a fan of Duffs wings. However I find them pretty greasy. The Wing Company's product didn't feel anywhere near as bad, and the real winner here is flavour. Duff's flavours are pretty basic but very good. The Wing Company's flavours are unique and excellent (based on my sampling). Actually, I don't know if I have a reason to go back to Duff's now.
Now for the best part. I ordered 20 wings on a Tuesday and they give me a bag that must have had 30-35! That my friends is a flirtatious promotion. I'm going to go there every week until I'm too fat to squeeze into my elevator. It'll be pimpin'. -

If you want a good sized wing at a reasonable price and a choice of 40 sauces, then this is the de facto place to go for wings. The delivery, do take out or you can choose to stay and watch the game on their big screen tv. The staff are all nice and helpful and make you feel like a long time customer.
Simply the beset wings in town. Their fries and onion rings aren't bad either.
Noteable sauces include: frank's re hot bbq, Lemon Tequilla Chipotle, and Hot mustard. -

I never liked wings until I had Duff's. Duffs was #1 in my heart. I have to say that The Wing Company is pretty good competition. It's been mere hours since I've had their wings and I can't get them off of my mind.
The flavours here are amazing! I expanded my horizon by not going for the honey garlic and ordered the BBQ mesquite and hubby got the signature hot mustard wings. Both flavours were delicious. I also like the option that you have a choice of spicy chipotle on top of dill or blue cheese sauce. Go for the chipotle.
AND the wings come with fries and Monday and Tuesday are specials so we got extra wings too.
I'll be coming back here again for sure. Save yourself the wait in line at Duff's and check this place out. -

Okay so for me, this is the best wing joint in the city of Toronto. They disappointed me for a bit when they switched their wing supplier and they became super small, but hey, I let them know (I'm sure I wasn't the only one) and the big wings are back. That for me, adds to the greatness, what good is a business that doesn't listen to their customers? I have tons of great stories about this place and them going above and beyond for me. they definitely know my name and my face. lol

I am happy to say that the regular size wings are back (called fryers) and even extra big wings (called roasters) are available too! Lots of flavour choices...I had spicy BBQ Honey Garlic (perfect blend of spicy and honey garlic) with the sweet potato fries. Yum Yum!

Loved the wings. They're big and tasty. I got 10 buffalo and 10 BBQ chipotle. The buffalos were good but I really liked the chipotles. Ask them to suggest something that fits your taste. With 40 flavours you won't go wrong. You'll be greeted with smiling faces and helpful staff.

Review from Reza E.

I'll prelude my review by saying that I did not order actual wings from this place. And there is no way in hell I am ever going to do so. I wanted pizza and sides and they looked like they could handle it.
I found this place's flyer among the regular litany of pizza pizza, dominos and chinese food menus in my mailbox. The boneless wings were supposed to come with "fries, veggies & dip". And the pizza sounded like a good deal - a "party sized" pep for $14? Sure, why not? I'll tell you why not.
We called and ordered. We upgraded the fries in the boneless wings to poutine for an extra $1.98. delivery time was supposed to be 1 - 1.25 hours. The food arrived in just over an hour - okay. We attacked the poutine first. The fries were store-bought frozens (mccain shoestrings?) with bland gravy and what appeared to be slices of cheese. It was cold and unappetizing. Next we opened the box of "boneless wings" which were essentially dark meat chicken nuggets (about 30% of every nugget was breading) drizzled with a bit of sauce. Also cold and unappetizing. Oh, and no veggies were included.
Next was the pizza. By the time we opened it, the cheese had already started turning orange and the whole thing was below room temperature.
So I call to let them know about this. The girl who answers tells me that the pizza was made less than an hour ago and that it can't possibly be cold. Then I tell her about the missing veggies and an argument ensues which ends up with me giving the manager English lessons (he doesn't seem to have any problem with the language). The girl had told me earlier that "we noticed customers wanted more wings and weren't interested in veggies so we changed it so we give more boneless wings and no veggies". I repeatedly told her that the menu begs to differ. She, also seemingly a native English speaker, didn't seem to see it my way and first said that I'm looking at an old menu. I told her that I received it in my mailbox that day and that the menu stapled to my delivered order was the exact same. The manager tried the same kind of bs on me, telling me they have different versions of the menu. I'm not an idiot and I'm not a sucker and I'm not out to get hosed by some people who don't know how to run a "restaurant". For the record, there is no other menu. The website even says the same thing. I demanded my money back on the pizza so that I can walk a minute to the pizza pizza and get a pie. He told me that he will not send a driver "just to give me my money back" and that I could "walk in with my food and get my money back" if I'd like. (I wish the weather was better so I could call him on his bluff).
He then offers to bring me a new pizza. At this point I'm no longer hungry and want to cut my losses, so I agree. He says nothing about veggies, nothing about wings. he does assure me, though, that the pizza "is being made right now" and that the "driver will come to [me] right away without going anywhere else". I hang up and am boiling with rage at this point.
The pizza takes longer than the original order to arrive (over eighty minutes). The driver hands me the pizza and a bag of veggies (two tiny celery sticks and two tiny carrots). At this point we have no appetite but I have a slice of the pizza anyways. Gross. the dough wasn't fully cooked, the cheese was almost non-existent, the sauce was too sour and was all I could taste.
The manager tells me that they're not a huge corporation like pizza pizza and that they're a small operation at some point during our "conversation". With this kind of product and service they'll be a small operation no more.
Smarten up! -

this place really is amazing (walking in the door won't tell you that though). the only reason I'm holding back on the 5 star is because I can't give any wing place but all stars (in Richmond hill) that distinction.
they're just down the street from me and we've (me and the roomies) ordered about 3 or 4 times and gone to pickup. not the best place to eat as the seatings more like a waiting room than dining area. really friendly staff (is that delicious wing smell that fills the place making them kooky?) and really tasty wings/poutine/onion rings.
I suggest the lime and tequila one and the Guinness one, even the experimental types all taste like a wing should so don't be scared to try them. the sides are also spot on, greasy and filling.
it just opened a few months ago but I feel like this will become a go-to for a lot of people. better than duffs and einsteins, on the same level as crown and dragon and only a little shittier than all stars (fucking move to the city already!) -

I take it back! We had friends over and ordered on 1/2 price Tuesday and it took more than 2 HOURS to get our delivery!! Not impressed with such bad service on their busiest of nights. There is never a good excuse for 2hour wait times...! The wings were warm and fries were getting hard by the time they arrived. Boo! Only order from here early in the evening and not on Monday or Tues!!

I got these wings for 30 people this week at a party. The wings were great and the delivery was basically on time. next year's party will probably be catered by them again.
