I don’t know how to rate this restaurant, their ambience was really good the location was okay and the service was okay too. They have more than 20 varieties of chicken wings. Being a very big fan of extremely spicy food. I thought I should try the spiciest of all food in town as claimed by some of my friends. I am from Kerala a state in south India well known for its picturesque back waters 100% literacy rate, warm and humid climate all year long of which 4 months are really hot so is our food. All keralites or malayalies or more commonly known as mallus eat lots and lots of spice. Coming back to the review, having had some of the most spiciest of all foods in the world I thought I should try this out taking it as a challenge to myself, on Friday night 18th Dec, I got a chance to visit this restaurant with few of my coworkers and ordered the wings called«Bobby wings» which also requests for a waiver(you are having it at your own risk), in fact I was smiling in my mind. There was also another wings called«Jakarta wings» which was spicy as well. We ordered for 2 lbs of Bobby wings and 2 lbs of Jakarta wings and some other kind of wings. It was well served with ranch and Buffalo sauce with our order of beer. I started munching on the wings one by one from both the servings and the second one of the Bobby wings gave me the feeling please don’t go any further you are digging your own grave. I can surely tell you, that was the spiciest of all things I have ever had. It was burning inside me like crazy. Then I felt my taste buds and the spice was totally artificial nothing close to the pure spice or hotness we have in Kerala food, which we take 24×7×52 ie every day of the year. Now I know it’s just one of the advertising gimmicks probably. But to be truthful Jakarta wings and the other verities was good. The same night and next day morning saw me visiting the washroom 7 times and to be frank it was burning from the entry hole to the exit hole ie., mouth to anus. I apologize for ending it in a filthy manner but I can guarantee you the chillie sauce used in it is totally artificial. Thanks for reading.

What a rip off. Shitty wings and their soup is a ladle full for 6.50. What a joke. I’ll make my own wings at home for cheaper. You should close down and maybe have red robin open up.

Went there with a group of friends and waited 30 min for water and an hour and a half for a pound of wings! With the worst service ever!

I have never experienced such awful management. Jimmy, the manager, was extremely rude and unprofessional when we asked for the television to be changed to a basketball game. The restaurant was empty and he claimed he had many people watching the hockey game. Even if he changed one box to the basketball game, over 8TV’s would still have the hockey game on. I had never had an issue with Wings before. My boyfriend and I would come here regularly but now we will not be back. I truly feel bad for the employees at Wings having to deal with Jimmy’s horrible attitude. I hope people avoid this Wings as they will not be satisfied with the management service. I know I will definitely not be back. I truly admired Wings before this incident, Jimmy has changed my idea of the restaurant completely.

Came on a Sunday. Our first time at this location. Food was super super fast but not impressive. Burnaby location has better flavour to their wings. My fav maple bourbon has very little taste. Onion wings were crunchy on the outside but under cooked in the inside. Perhaps the food is better when it’s not so busy

Wings is OK for a group getting together to watch a games a nosh on some appies, but it is not really a place a I would go for dinner. Their specialty, chicken wings, is fairly well executed, with many different sauces to garnish your wings. The wings themselves are crispy and well cooked. I’m sure you can enjoy trying different sauces. Why I gave two stars, is that the other food was not great. We ordered starter salads that were pretty bad. The greek salad dressing tasted like it came from a bottle, and the salads themselves did not seem fresh. Disappointing for the price. The restaurant itself, is pretty spacious and clean. We were there on a Saturday night, and the place actually seemed overstaffed. Staff were looking for something to do. One host was vacuuming to keep himself busy. It was almost like they were bumping in to each other to try and find something to do. It made the atmosphere seem a little less casual.

I’ve been eating their chicken wings for several years and I can’t get enough. They have a large variety of choices for their wings and I have tried them all except their very hot buffalo wings. I know they have lots of other menu items to choose from but I go there for their wings mostly. I’ve gone to eat-in and the service has been good and cordial, but I’ve only gone as a group of four the most. I’ve also done take-out many times. No major complains yet, as my servers have always been good.

I made reservations for 15, for my son’s 19th birthday dinner on a Saturday night. When we arrived, we found the place packed and our table was only for 6(8 if you squeezed). When we asked for the manager, he came out and explained that someone else had called for reservations two days prior, and this was the problem. We explained that we had made our reservations well in advance, and well before the other party. We were told to squeeze in as best we could and they would«see if there was anything else they could do». They ended up putting my son at another table entirely, around the corner from our table. In the meantime, others from our party were arriving and just sitting at booths. They got menus, drinks, and had ordered dinner before we even got menus. In fact, after ½ hour of no menus, I had to go ask for some from other tables around the restaurant and we shared them amongst ourselves as best we could. Another manager came to our table to try to work out seating, and this guy was arguing with us, blaming us for the mix up, because we had two extra people! He tried to tell us that if they had not come, we would have all probably fit at that table. I could not believe it. The food quality has really gone downhill in the last few years. Our food was average at best. The wings were dry and much smaller than they used to be. One poor woman that came with us(she had been the first one to arrive), was not given her meal until everyone else was finished. It was nachos, not something that was complicated or should take a particularly long time to arrive. And to add insult to injury, she was still charged full price. Wings used to be our go to place for many occasions, but unfortunately their lack of organization and appalling customer service skills have killed it for us, and probably everyone that came. It’s a shame the managers have forgotten the motto of «the customer is always right». If they had decided to help in earnest rather than accuse and blame us like little children, I might not have taken the trouble to post this review at all. Jerks.

I went to wings with some friends from work. I arrived 30 minutes after everyone else. They ordered as soon as they got in, and were told it would take 45 minutes to get their food because there was one large party that night. A little bit slow is understandable, but 45 minutes is too long for a pub-type environment. I also did not appreciate the sour attitude of our server. When the food finally arrived it was very good. The kitchen staff make quality food. I split an appetizer platter and it was great: calimari, wings, bread, nachos. Superb. Thumbs up for the quality of food, thumbs down for the serving staff

Staff was awesome. So friendly. We had a party of ten and they easily kept up with us. Wings ranged from very good(dry rub) to terrible(lemon pepper… WAY too much lemon.) they don’t serve Guinness, odd. But on the bright side, they do serve Stella. I’d go here again now that I know which wings to order.

This is my group of friends’ favourite place to get chicken wings. Good atmosphere and great selection of flavours. A wee pricey for wings compared to the 25¢ and 35¢ wings places close by, but they’re worth it if you’re looking for more«gourmet» wings.

OK, so it was Friday night and my social group wanted a place central to us all to watch the Canucks game & have a beer. We settled on Wings, and planned to meet there at 6:30pm. Only one out of our group who ended up coming had ever been there before. I was the first to arrive and it was already packed! I wasn’t sure how many people in my group were going to show up, so I put my name on the list for 6. The hostess didn’t tell me how long a wait to expect, but then again I didn’t ask either. Within a few minutes another in my party showed up and we decided we had better change our table request to 8 just in case a couple extras showed up. Again the hostess didn’t tell us how long we should expect to wait. The rest of our party showed up within minutes. After about 30 minutes everyone who was on the list ahead of us was seated, as well as the next few parties of 2 to 4 who arrived after us. We noticed there were 2 four seat tables next to each other that had been standing open for 20 minutes or longer, so we asked if we could sit there as we’d already been waiting for 45 minutes to be seated. The hostesses(there were 4 of them standing around at the front) told us the waitress on that side of the restaurant was«too busy» so we could not be seated there. As our waiting approached an hour, and our frustrations began to be projected regarding the 8 empty seats taunting us, a large party on the other side of the restaurant left and we were finally given a table. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a restaurant with a table standing open for that long and been told I couldn’t sit at it. It blew my mind! Once we sat down, the server who had our table was very attentive and prompt. We were only having drinks so I can’t comment on the food — but I did take a quick look at the menu to see what vegetarian options they had. As a vegetarian I wouldn’t come back to eat as there isn’t much other than fries, and a pasta of some kind that was meatless. The beer was good, and about $ 5/pint which is average. The atmosphere is pretty good. It’s got way more of a restaurant feel than a pub, but I guess that’s because it is more of a restaurant than a pub! Regardless of the decent service from the wait staff and comfy ambiance, I will not return due to the terrible service we received from the host staff. I would have expected some communication from at least one of the four young women loitering around the front desk area… but got nothing.

What a strange location. But I guess the price was right for these people to put a restaurant there. The boys needed a quick place to grab some food before basketball so it’s not like we went out for a full on meal — just wings. And Surrey — is perhaps the WORST place to grab anything(other than fast food) to put in your mouth and fill your stomach. It’s actually nice inside — albeit a really weird set up. But nice. Lots of servers and hostess wearing either too tight or too short of clothing, but I’m not complaining — just an observation. The novelty of choosing from so many different types of wings is cool. The price is the same as any other restaurant — its about $ 6.50/lbs, if you get 5lbs, which we did with five different types of wings. The taste was OK. Nothing spectacular. I know, if it was wings we should’ve gone to a pub, but this was something different. One thing I did notice was how relatively inexpensive the menu is. It was pasta night and the build your own pastas were $ 7.99. Meaning I could’ve got a chicken alfredo for $ 7.99 — which makes me think two things … a) damn that’s cheap, and b) how good can it be if it’s that cheap?
