| - I feel I need to write this review immediately after returning from the worst chicken wing experience I have ever had. Although my service was friendly, it was about the only positive thing about my trip to Wingporium.
It's apparent to me that this establishment uses the wings of very large, very mature capon chickens. The meat to skin/sauce ratio is way too high. We ordered 1 pound of sauced wings and two pounds of plain wings with several sauces on the side. Although the restaurant was not at all busy, it took over 1/2 hour to deliver this order (but mere minutes to deliver our potato wedges and drinks which were all but gone by the time the wings arrived).
When the wings arrived, it was clear to see that they were grossly under cooked, mealy white skin and completely mushy and wet (beyond moist, I mean WET) on the inside. We immediately sent them back for more cooking.
While waiting for them to re-cook, we were eager to try the "made-in-house" sauces that were left. Let me make this clear: These sauces are not "made-in-house", rather, they're "mixed-in-house" as the contents of the little dixie cups left at our table weren't thoroughly mixed and you could see the glob of mustard within the pineapple sauce and the glob of generic maple syrup within the Frank's Red Hot sauce.
Upon return, the skin was now acceptably crispy but the meat inside was so plentiful, it had completely toughened up making only the outer shell of skin edible.
I feel I need to add that I have been a wing fan for all of my adult life and have had wings at tens and tens of locations across Canada and the U.S. These were the worst I've ever had.
I feel ripped of by Wingporium. $60 for 1 order of potato wedges, 1 pepsi, 1 beer and 26 completely inedible wings. There is NO value at all in that and it would take a very strong argument to get me back into this dump.
