The wings are not like they used to be way back before they sold franchises. The service is hit or miss and the management is a definite miss. That little bald guy knows f_all about hospitality. Don’t waste your time or money. There are far better wing joints nearby.(McSorleys or Crown & Dragon)

Went here to watch FIFA with my friends. We came 15 minutes early and got the nice seats in front of their widescreen t.v. So we’re sitting there with our beers waiting for the game to start and then out of nowhere their fat scummy manager shows up and tries to start beef with us. He starts accusing us of trying to scam the place by not buying any food and saying things like«you think you can just buy a beer and get the front row seat?». What a total lack of professionalism here. The only reason we didnt report him to corporate was because the waitress was our friend and we didnt want her to get in trouble. Obviously we bought food, which we would have ordered anyway once the game started, but with that kind of middle management, I cannot recommend this place in good faith. The food was okay but with that kind of attitude, who knows what corners are being cut behind the scenes.

There’s lots of Louis wings joints around the city… and they’re probably okay. But I really like the outdoor patio on Yonge. I’ve been here 5 or 6 times and love it… nice staff and chilled out vibe. An easy spot to while away a few hours in the sun over a decently priced beer. The poutine here is excellent: with the pork variety just tipping the fried chicken. The burgers are good too: keep in mind, eating in Louis’ is a carb fest.

I’ve been a long time patron of this location, even if there is no parking around. :) I just come when the weather is nice and park on a side street. I use the walk back to the car to burn off whatever delicious meal I just ate!!! So, normally I’ll get the wings here since they are my kind of wing. Not too big or small, just the right size and while I’m not a spice person, I like honey garlic and it’s hard to mess that up. This past time I went was on a Wednesday, and wouldn’t you know it… on Wednesday’s, it’s $ 5 burger and fries day. BURGERANDFRIESFOR $ 5! I know what you’re thinking… what kind of burger do you get at a wing place? Answer: A GOOD one! It was not a dry puck, it was likely not handmade from the heart but it was delicious nonetheless. I’m not asking for a gourmet burger for $ 5! I love their french fries and especially dipping them in their dill dip. Yum yum. I’m hungry just reliving the meal! We had to sit inside because the patio was packed, but I’m secretly an indoor eating preferrer anyway. Love this place! I also saw Tarzan Dan here once, so +1 star.

The staff are amazing and even with missing on one order they handled it without hesitation by not charging for the entrée. Waitresses really work hard to get the orders in a timely fashion. Emily our waitress is so cool and was awesome with the service.

Took my brother and elderly father for lunch. Decent wings but fries were cardboard. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. Patio was excellent. Would come back for beer(and maybe wings) on the patio if I was in the area, but I would not take a special trip.

Some friends wanted to watch the game Sunday and St Louis is known for their patio and sports so since we were in the area we went there. The food is fair enough. Deep fried pickles, wings, the usual. Everything was served a little cold but they were really busy and it was super hot out so that was no big deal. I liked our server, she was attentive enough and the bartender made me some decent vodka sodas. The Long Island ice teas were really small, but apparently also tasty. What I didn’t like about this place was all the ass I had to look at. There was one really trashy waitress who had an incredibly short skirt, wicked cellulite, and a penchant for bending over in my face half a dozen times. It was really unappetizing. Most of the servers there seem really nice but holy hell management, take out the trash!

St. Louis Wings has been around since 2002 but have really expanded in the past few years. I went with two friends for dinner at the Bloor and Brunswick location. I generally never need to look at the menu when I go to any joint touting«wings» in their name. I started with the bacon wrapped mac and cheese which were quite tasty. A full strip of bacon wrapped around a mac and cheese ball. Confirming the idea that bacon wrapped anything is going to be tasty. I ordered the mississippi honey BBQ flavored wings at the suggestion of our server. The sauce was good and the fries which were large and done in a ruffled style were the unexpected treat of the meal. The wings however were more than underwhelming. They were small, lacking meat and the over all taste was about on par with grocery store frozen wings. St. Louis Wings is an average bar and grill franchise in a category with Kelsey’s, Casey’s, and Jack Aster’s. They should probably take a page from these restaurants and drop the«wings» out of their name… or change the name to St. Louis Fries(honestly quite good).

The chicken wing was cold even the sandwich and the service was so poor ! Won’t come here again!

I really like wings in this place and I think it is good for wings. Enjoying a Heineken and spicy wings is so nice maaan. However, as a tip, always ask separate orders even if you are with your girlfriend/boyfriend. They will give you more fries.

Food is decent, love how its a decent lunch spot, family dinner joint and a decent bar til close. Duffs is better but St Louis offers much more in regard to atmosphere. Usually run into at least one person i know every time i’m there. A neighborhood place that is great to just stop by for a beer even if you aren’t eating. Probably the best patio in the neighborhood.

I love this place. You get what you expect. Above average wings, fast and nice service, a good atmosphere if a game is on, a great patio on a hot day. It’s good times all around.

St. Louis is a classic bar. It has daily deals which are affordable and pretty good. Nothing Amazing about it or horrible. It’s solid and conveniently located.

My favourite place in the city to grab a coupla pounds of wings, a cold one, and watch the game with the boys! The place can be quiet around lunchtime, but gets quite loud at night, especially when the ‘boys in blue’ bury one top cheese. I have never had anything else on the menu expect the large order of wings — Suicide! Their in-house dipping sauce is one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted hands down which is probably the reason the place has done so well. Who cares about the service at this place — they know whats up with wings! can’t wait for my next visit. Also great for takeout, wish they would deliver!

I’ve never been to a St. Louis Bar and Grill before but if they are all like this, I would definitely try another one. Being from out of town, one of my friends from the Toronto area suggested we meet him here. The layout of the bar is great and offers lots of space and it was clean. Our server was quick and very friendly. I ordered 1 pound of medium saucy wings. The food arrived in about 10 minutes and was served nice and hot. The flavour of the wings were nice and it came with a side of fries and dill sauce. I’m usually a Buffalo and Ranch sauce kinda guy but these wings and sauce were a tasty change from my norm. We also shared a pitcher of Bud Light which was served at the perfect temperature. My overall experience at this St. Louis was great and would recommend it if you are looking for decent wings and beer in the Central Toronto area.

Among the worst wings I’ve eaten. I always get the ‘Hotter Than Hell’, which I can assure you ARENOT(please read other reviews of mine to understand what HOT really means to me as I am a masochist for heat). No matter what flavour you get, the wings all seem to have this fake smoke taste that I find very offputting. I’m a purist and grew up across the border from Buffalo, so I’ve learned to love the original Bufffalo wings with Blue Cheese dip. But whenever I order extra sauce, they default to the Dill sauce. Dill sauce with wings? I guess some people like it, but it seems like a bit of a crime that your go-to chicken wing sauce is dill. Not for me.

I wasn’t expecting to like it here. But I needed some emergency chicken wings and beer recently, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The wings were great. The fries were also really great. I don’t think I’ll be a regular and any St. Louis location, but I wouldn’t hesitate to come again.

3.8** As far as a bar goes, this place is definitely competitive… so I must weigh in with a 4 to balance some of those unwaranted ones and twos. On any given evening during the summer season this place is almost guaranteed to be bustling… and why shouldn’t they be with that amazing outdoor patio fit with palm trees and flat screens. Tuesday is half-price wings night and this is by far the busiest place on the block. You can pick up 1lb of good wings accompanied by their crispy pub fires for only $ 5! That’s as good as it gets IMO. I usually get their new salt and pepper dry wings b/c I’m not one for all that sauce, and they are actually really tasty with a good amount of meat. I’ve had their club too which is good too and filled with peppercorn ham, chicken, and bacon. I can also reccomend the Asian chicken salad… their Greek and Cobb are very good as well. It’s loud, it’s lively and there’s no better place in the area to catch a game with some friends and brew.

St. Louis is nicely situated on Yonge north of Davisville. It has a great patio that always has a waiting list. The inside has lots of TVs, including a large-screen television, which strangely does not have any seating facing it. The menu features mainly wings and ribs. The wings were good, if a little oversauced, and the sauce I chose – hot and smoky – was as advertised. They have reasonable beer and wing combos, and the staff is friendly and young, and the female servers are all blonde and about twenty years old and, I think I can say, quite hot. I’m scoring the restaurant two stars lower than I would have otherwise because the night my friends and I were there – a Friday night – a large contingent of rugrats, ages 3 – 12 or so, sat right behind us. Kids are kids, so I wasn’t surprised that they were somewhat noisy, but I was surprised that these kids would be in a bar at 9 o’clock on a Friday. They bumped into me several times. They had the run of the place, playing tag, kicking the walls and furniture, shouting and rolling on the floor. The parents watched on and even encouraged them, which to me makes them not only poor parents but morons. The staff did nothing to stop this behaviour and merely walked between the kids, smiling. I suspect the parents are regulars. We stayed because we had a full pitcher, but otherwise we would have settled up immediately and walked out. I will go back, but I won’t go again if there are kids there at night and I’ll lower the rating to one star. It’s a bar, people. The adults all around are drinking and using foul language and watching often violent sports on TV. Some of them are even on the make. Leave your kids at home or take them to McDonald’s, or better yet, put them to bed at a reasonable hour or call a babysitter.

I will not be back. After giving them three chances, they’ve screwed up all three times. And guess what? Their ribs are terrible! They don’t fall off the bone, in fact you have to rip it off and chew through. I don’t understand why they’re marketing their ribs, they are absolutely not worth the price. Their wings are good though — but the service has turned me off so badly that I cannot even be bothered to contact the manager. Just know this — I gave this place three chances, the first time, our server took down the wrong order, blamed us, ROLLEDHEREYES at us and argued with us. Who does that? The second time, we got her AGAIN. She screwed up our order AGAIN. I was livid but decided not to let a dumbass stranger ruin my night so I didn’t bother informing her like I did the first time. The third time we got an older server who screwed up our order, never apologized. I’m so done with this place — I don’t care how good your wings are, if you have bad customer service you are screwed.
