Wish I could rate them as high as I’d like to, but after today’s encounter I refuse to give them more than 2 stars. My husband and I have been ordering wings from these guys for several years. Customer service has never been amazing, but the wings have been great. Unfortunately, on Super Bowl Sunday they gave us the wrong order. We didn’t realize it until we got it home and didn’t complain because we understood that they were busy. We placed another order a few weeks later and I mentioned the Super Bowl mixup; no apology — just a «we had over 300 orders, and only messed up 4, so I won’t complain about that.» When my husband came home with the order, we realized a dozen wings were missing… I called and was essentially told I was a liar by BOTH the waitress and the owner. Eventually, I was promised a free dozen next time and«that’s it»… As if I was requesting more than what I had paid for. Extremely disappointed that I was treated this way… Over 12 stupid wings that they did NOT put in our bag! Tisk Tisk Tisk…

This place was interesting. As Chris L said it’s a dive sports bar, that serves wings, so it’s not fancy, but it’s a great place for a large group or to watch sports! We were there with a group of 8 so we ordered several things off the menu. We started with an appetizer of Limpia(spring rolls), onion rings, and the fried mac and cheese bites. All these items were good and I would recommend them if you didn’t know where to start. We ordered the Squadron Combo which comes with 6 dozen wings(four different flavors) carrots/celery, ranch/blue cheese, and 2 sides. We did the jamican jerk, garlic parmesan, bbq citrus chipotle, and mild. All the flavors were delicious they are known for having some wild flavors… we were too scared to try the raspberry! We had ordered 2 orders of cheese fries as our sides but the waitress forgot to add cheese. The service was nice but very slow, yes we ordered a lot of wings but for a place named wing command we didn’t expect for it to take almost 45 minutes to get our food. The wings were good, the sauces were tasty but the wings were kind of small, not much meat on them. Again for a place called wing command I wanted the wings to be awesome! If you are looking for a cheap, dive bar place to watch a game this is great, other than that, I would pass.

Great place to go!!! My hubby is Pinoy… He says the food was authentic! The service was great, the place had two huge parties, but still managed to look at our table and ask if we were ok! We had lumpia, lachon, pansit and chicken wings(cajun/garlic). It was so good!!! I destroyed the lumpia and some of the pansit… The lachon was great, from a bacon lover, but super rich… I could only do about three pieces and i was done… Sooo good!!! Chx wings were salty but great!!! Overall amazing place… My hubby and i didnt notice there were closing the place around us… Around 1050pm. They just kept asking us if we needed more water and stood around chatting amongst themselves… Finally we noticed the time and scooted out the door, they just thanked us and waved. Super nice!!!

We had dinner at Wing Command today and were impressed by flavor and service. The ambiance is a liitle run down bar shack that took me back to the Philippines for the afternoon. We ordered the lumpia, chicken adobo, rice and chicken wings. For dessert we had the platano and jack fruit roll. We chowed down on the lumpia as soon as it came out. Yum! The chicken adobo tasted homemade and went perfectly with the white rice. Spicy garlic chicken wings were decent. The dessert was very good. If you want home style philipino food give Wing Command a try. I have been here once or twice on Friday night and the karaōke hip hop club has been a good time.

First off I am rating this as a dive bar, sports bar, wings place. For that I give it 3 ½ stars. I reserve 4 stars for places I’m really a fan of and try to return as much as possible. Right now this one falls a little short. But don’t take any of this as negatives for the place. Too many people walk into a bar like this like they were going to Ruth’s Chris and trash the rating. So as a dive bar wings place they have it down pretty good. I have to say that if I come back a few more times the food may push me to a 4 star rating. Wings. Great. Paid extra to get the all drums. Of sauces had I rate Best was a dry rub sorry but don’t remember name. 2nd the Hawaiian. Third terreyaki. 4th place the Barbeque. They also have a Philippino menu. The spring rolls were excellent. Never my wife liked who doesn’t like spring rolls. The beef skewers had an excellent steak. Much better than some Chinese restaurant scewer. The greens that came on the side were excellent. This place is a dive. From the outside it looks new but on the inside it is dated and a bit tired looking. It could use a refresh. But it was very clean. Just old. The service was slow. If we were just coming in for some beers(oh yea there is some cheap beer here too — and pitchers). I wouldn’t mind but we were in a bit of a hurry and the service took about 10 minutes to greet is and then was slow overall from there. So even with the slow service I’m still on the verge of a 4 star for the food. Looks like I’m going to have to come back for some more wing sauces to try(and more of those spring rolls and skewers — which were also $ 2 off on Friday night) Check it out if you want a dive sports bar with good food. Wouldn’t recommend with children but there were children there and they would not be out of place.

This is a place that I go to for wings all the time. Tonight was especially delicious! The lump is was just right and crisp. The wings were huge and the amount of sauce was perfect! Not to mention the onion rings are probly the best I’ve ever had! The wait for the wings are soooooo worth it!

I most definitely did not care for the food here or the atmosphere. It’s a decent enough little sports bar, but I didn’t really care for it. The food was the big disappointment though. The wings were good. However, my wife ordered boneless wings and they were terrible. They were so greasy they were practically inedible. The fries tasted like Asian food, which is understandable but still… Staff was friendly and attentive. My wife and I tried it due to its close proximity to our home, but I don’t think we’ll be back.

Update: The food this time around was greasy and pretty salty. The staff is still super friendly and the price to portion ratio is great… but the hype has definitely died down. Still a solid three stars overall but If you’ve never tried Filipino food, I would still give it a shot!

Like several of the other reviews have mentioned, the idea of combining traditional wings and Filipino food is a little unusual because they have no correlation to each other but I think it works here. Came here late on a Sunday afternoon to watch a football game and it was bustling in here with some diehard fans, including one of our dining companions. We were able to find a table quickly even though it was really packed. Our waitress was nice but after telling her two times what we were not ready to order we didn’t see her a good 15 – 20 minutes… I got the Refueling pack, a dozen wings, two flavors, small fries, one lumpia and a soda all for $ 15.25 which I thought was a good deal. I got half BBQ citrus/chipotle and a new dry Thai rub that they just put on the menu. The sign outside of the restaurant said«best wings in town» which I think are fighting words and you better back that up with your awesome wings. My wings were good, but definitely not the best I have ever had or close to it. As far as size, they’re about standard the flavors were okay, nothing that really wowed my taste buds. I am a huge fan of dry rubs and I was hoping for the dry rub to have that extra kick but it didn’t. The lumpia that came with my meal was surprisingly tasty and I think the next time I come here I will only get the Filipino food. I am not sure if every Sunday they pull out the projector for big Football games, but I think it attracts more of a crowd. This place is definitely not family friendly on days like these were the language is explicit even though I saw several young children here.

Great local joint for drinks also introduced me to some bangin’ Filipino food. I get a large diniguan and a Yuengling and call it a day.

Who knew that the Filipino food revolution was starting in Midlothian Virginia? Relaxed atmosphere, well priced and tasty food, friendly and attentive service, what more could you ask for? We drove an hour for Filipino food and it was worth it. We got the beef sinigang, perfection, Pork humba adobo was slightly sweeter than what I’m used to but still very good, pancit palabok was delicious and halo halo was good too. We’ll definitely make the trek down here again to try the other menu items.

Finally, a Filipino restaurant with a full traditional menu! The food is soooo craveably good! I have been searching all over this city for something like this. I can’t believe we have such great Filipino food right here in Chesterfield! They are even open late! Thank goodness! Usually, being hungry after 9 or 10PM would mean starving or eating crap food, but no longer! The raspberry chipotle wings were decent, but I wished the sauce were thicker and bolder in flavor. They were, however, nice and crispy. The star of the show was the pancit palabok, or rice noodles in a fresh, tart broth with pork cracklins, hard-boiled egg, and shrimp. I really can’t imagine a better late-night dish for my taste buds – satisfying, fulfilling, flavorful, but light enough to not feel weighed down. I ordered the small, and it was definitely a nice-sized portion. I don’t think I’d ever order a large, unless my husband and I were to share. My only complaint here is the décor. The restaurant is in need of a serious update. There’s no ambiance. The restaurant is very neighborhood sports bar meets ruritan club. I wish there were more of a warm, inviting feeling to match the great food. There was also a stale smell in the air. The place is older, but had a smell of old bar and harsh cleaner in the air. I almost started to leave because of that. I would go for takeout, i think. I really wish they’d at least update the paint because they have a seriously good thing going here. This place is definitely one to check out, but not for a date night or anything special. Prices were reasonable, Filipino food flavor was outstanding! I wonder if they cater because a tray of kababs for a cookout sure does sound wonderful! I think ordering a tray of marinated, raw kabobs to grill yourself would be even better.

Wing Command has been on my list to try for quite some time. I finally decided to make the trek south of the river to try it, since I had been craving Filipino food. I had a little trouble locating it in the plaza it is in at first, but it turns out it is in the same square as one of my other favorite places, Wasabi! Wing Command is such an unexpected combination of(American) fried chicken and authentic Filipino food. The interior of the restaurant is fairly spacious with lots of seats and it definitely looks like your typical pub, and many of the patrons do indeed come for the buffalo wing deals with the myriad of sauces. However, I was on a mission to get Filipino food, albeit just to-go. I ended up ordering quite a bit of food for both my friend and me: pansit palabok, lechon kawali, sinigang na baka, daeng bangus, and mussels. All Filipino dishes come with a side of rice(except pansit and lumpia). All of the food was absolutely delicious, and it smelled so enticing as I was making the drive to my friend’s house. The pansit palabok was a wetter version of the stir-fried plain pansit I am used to, but it was great! Pansit always reminds me of the Taiwanese dish 米粉. Lechon is always a win, and Wing Command’s was nice and crispy. The bangus(milkfish) was good, although the fish itself was a small one. Mussels were tasty, and I had never had Filipino mussels before. The only dish that was a little disappointing was the sinigang; I’ve had and loved sinigang in the past, but Wing Command’s was overly sour and salty, at least on this visit. Can’t comment too much on the service since I got takeout, but the staff at the register who took my order was friendly. Since the food was made to order, it was about a 20 – 25 minute wait for the food. But it was well worth it! =) Would definitely come back to try more of the dishes on the menu, and maybe some of the wings as well. Just wish the restaurant was closer to home! P. S. I forgot to take photos of my food. =\ But I’ll post a picture of the Filipino dishes menu, since the website’s menu is apparently not up-to-date.

Haven’t had Filipino food often so was excited to come here. My friend and I were roadtripping down south and stumbled on this little gem. The staff were super nice and attentive. When I asked for chopsticks, our waitress said she didn’t have any. but next time we came back, she’d have a pair for us. We ordered some soup with greens and oxtail, noodles and wings(long list of seasoning to choose from). No complaints, just good olé comfort food with lots of sports tvs. I bet it would be fun to be there during football season. Also had Halo Halo for the first time — reminds me a lot of vietnamese desserts, filled with so many different exotic fruits and flavors. Sooo good, we slurped it down in less than 4 minutes.

As this is my first time having Filipino food, I can’t say I’m a good judge for this but I must say I like the food a lot! Our group went there for lunch and ordered small portions of 5 dishes and eat family style. We got chicken pancit, pork adobo, menudo, garlic and parmesan wings. Out of all of them, the chicken pancit is the most popular among our group! Great taste, good ratio of noodle, meat, and veggies. If this place was closer to campus, I would go here everyday and order this for takeout! The pork adobo is also a hit. I like that they weren’t afraid of including a decent amount of fat. The sauce was so yummy that we were slurping it up by the spoonful! The garlic and parmesan wings were great too. On the other hand, the menudo was jusk okay, very similar to American beef stew. As for the ambiance, it is nothing special. Just a sport bar that happened to serve delicious Filipino food. Our waitress(I believe her name was Meghan) was very attentive and knowledgeable. The furniture has seen better days but there are plenty of pool tables and TVs for entertainment. They do have happy hours starting at 4 with $ 2 off appetizers. To finish the meal, we ordered Halo-Halo as dessert. It quickly became one of my top favorite dessert choices now! It reminds me of Patbingsu, a Korean dessert, but more decadent with all the condense milk and flan pieces. If you come here, you must try it!

Nice cozy Sports Bar with plenty of large screen TV’s. The Filipino Food is AWESOME! I had three kabobs, one pork, one chicken and on beef. It was served with a mound of rice, Filipino collard greens and soy. My drink was a dirty martini. Funny thing, the bar tender did not know how to make one for she had only been there a short time. I walked her through the steps and she made the best vodka martini ever! It was a little on the pricey side for my taste but it was good. Now the wings: I highly recommend you get your wings breaded. For one they will be much larger than unbridled. 2. they will hold on to the sauce. Speaking on the sauces; this place has many delicious sauce to choose from for you wings. They have you typical hot and mild, but also Lemon pepper, jerk and many other. I really enjoyed this experience and will be back next times I’m in the area.

Let me preface this review with the following caveat: while I have eaten food from Wing Command on at least a dozen occasions, I have NEVER actually eaten in the restaurant — I always get take out. Also, I’ve never partaken of the Filipino food that they seem to serve off the side out of the kitchen; maybe one day. That out of the way, this place is hands-down my favorite wing joint in town! Better portions than Hooters and better sauces than BW3. The have, literally, dozens of flavors from the run-of-the-mill(Mild/Medium/Hot, BBQ, etc) to the ultra-creative(Strawberry Chipotle, Garlic Pepper, etc). A bit of warning, unless you specify otherwise, the wings here come naked(i.e. no breading). That said, I am in love with their sauces, so I always get my wings breaded so they hold the sauce better(plus, the breaded variety are a bit bigger). Be aware that should you opt for breaded, there is a $ 1/dozen upcharge, but it is SOOOO worth it! To my point above about sauces, the run-of-the-mill are always available and don’t change often. That said, the more exotic varieties seem to be more seasonal. For example, over the years I’ve seen Raspberry Chipotle, Strawberry Chipotle, and Peach Chipotle. All are super tasty and unlike anything I have seen an another wing joint(BW3 included). Some of my personal favorites are: Roasted Garlic BBQ: Rich, sweet and tangy BBQ base with a hint of garlic. Not overly garlicy, but just enough to know it’s there — great balance to the sweetness of the BBQ. My wife swears that these are the best anywhere, bar none. Garlic Pepper: Think wings tossed in garlic butter, then sprinkled with a combination of cracked pepper and garlic powder. Guaranteed to stave off vampires AND hit the spot for tastiness! Jamaican Jerk: Smoky, zesty and slightly sweet with a hint of heat and undertones of cinnamon and cumin. Absolutely delicious! My only complaint about Wing Command is that the service, even for take out, can be REALLY slow at times. They just about always quote 15 – 20 mins for a call-in pick-up order, but I don’t think it has ever actually been ready that fast. As long as you count on the wait, you won’t be disappointed. Besides, the wings are WELL worth the wait!

I must’ve forgotten my previous review, because I was disappointed again. The pancit was okay. The lumpia was okay. The pork adobo was a very generous portion, but SOFATTY! My mom wouldn’t even eat it, and I had a ton left that I didn’t even bother taking home. Waitresses(not the kitchen) are on the slow side. This is a hangout. This isn’t a place you go for great food. Get some wings, beer and listen to some live music or sing karaōke.

Decent wings with a lot of different flavors. The hotter«wet» wings were better than the dry flavor we got(the cajun). I remember the celery was some of the best I’ve had. Weird comment I know, but it was crunchy with no stringy parts. Tried a couple of the Filipino dishes, including the stir-fried noodles. It was very homemade and not fancy. The interior was much more bar like, but very clean. I was impressed. Lot of TVs but only one has loud sound and it makes it kind of confusing at times. If we lived closer I may go back but I wouldn’t travel out of my way here. If you really like filipino food it might be worth the trip.
