7 reviews for The Wing Company
All Reviews
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.
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!)
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.
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!
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.
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'.
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!!
