| - I'm not big on the Wild Wing franchise, but this place at least was decent and a better experience than I had at the Yonge St location. It was a Sunday afternoon and we decided to stop in for lunch since we were in the area. Considering there was only one server working all the tables, the service wasn't too bad.
After looking over the many wing options, we settled on a pound of Daisy Duke (BBQ, Medium, & Mango Chipotle), a pound of Honey Jerk (Honey Garlic & Caribbean Jerk), an order of Potato Skins and a couple pints of MGD. The wings were both pretty good. I mean we're talking about a chain that pretty much just whips all their wings out at the same rate and throw a different kind of sauce on them, so it's kind of hard to screw too much up except for the customer ordering a crappy flavour, but that's more the customers fault than the employees. And from a business perspective, I've got to hand it to a company that can sell 9 chicken wings for $9.99 all day long. I mean the pure profit levels of selling a chicken wing at over $1 a piece when they buy in the bulk numbers they do... Just build a ridiculous menu of sauces and fancy menus and boom! Instantly justified mark-up. But I guess thats more of a rant aimed at the Chicken Wing industry as a whole, so I digress...
One thing I can find Wild Wing at fault for is the potato skins. Quite dry and bland. Seemed like the type of thing that comes frozen they just warm and serve.
Another complaint is that they advertise a "Mini Pitcher". After each of us ordered a pint, I wanted a bit more to top off our glasses without committing to a full another full pint (as it was the afternoon and just needed something to wet my whistle as I finished my lunch). When I hear the term "pitcher", I expect something that will be brought to my table that I will be able to pour into glasses. Turns out the Mini Pitcher is actually just a big ass mug. Now if I was just looking for a big ass mug of beer, this would've probably been pretty cool. This was not very easy to pour or share though. Now I'm assuming that it was a corporate decision to market it as a "mini pitcher" so I can't really point fingers of blame at the location specifically...
Basically this experience re-enforced my anti-Wild Wing opinion, but will admit that if you are okay with Wild Wing in general, this seems to be a good location to go to. I think I'll just stick to the non-chain wing places to get my better value on.
