| - Oakville's been expecting two Wild Wing locations to open for about the past year. This one seems to be the first of those out of the gate, and it isn't a bad start.
For such a big franchise chain, I'm kind of surprised that this is my first time visiting Wild Wing. The sheer variety of wing choices certainly took me by surprise - sweet to savoury to spicy and all points in between. We went with the 20 wing sampler - Desperado, Gar-Par, Garlic Garlic and some sort of barbecue sauce version. That combo came to about $25.
Fair warning first off: if you're an aficionado of the traditional Buffalo-style wing, you may be disappointed here - I found they tended more towards the saucy type than the traditional style that sarah l. introduced me to on the Great International Chicken Wing Crawl of 2009. Still, all varieties were quite tasty, my favourites being the Garlic Garlic and the Desperado.
That brings me to wing size: definitely on the small side, which made the $25 we paid for 20 wings feel like not such a great deal.
Aside from that, service was pleasant and cheerful, but well on the slow side, especially considering that the place was basically deserted when we came in. On a Friday night. Methinks they've not quite gotten the word out that they are, in fact, finally open.
Overall, I'm happy to have gone and found the wings to be very tasty, but the price and speed of service have left me with a bit of a sour taste. I'll probably be back.
