| - Meh says it all. We had such high hopes for this place, especially after reading all the wonderful reviews on Yelp. First, I will say categorically that their wings are better than Buffalo Wild Wings. But BWW sets the bar so low that saying that isn't really a big recommendation.
First, we were seated at a booth which seemed like it had the "sticky' permanently embedded in the top of the table. I'm not sure what they can use that will remove sticky residual sauce from the tabletops, but I've got to believe there is something industrial that will do the job.
We tried their "pig wing" starter with a bbq sauce selected by our server. I couldn't tell if it was mesquite or hickory, but it was decent enough. These "pig wings" are little fried riblets dipped in sauce. Nothing spectacular.
We ordered 3 lbs of wings so we could sample sauces, and I guess we chose unwisely? We tried Honey BBQ, Salt and Vinegar and Garlic Parmesan.
The Honey BBQ were fried wings with BBQ sauce poured over the top. You could literally do the same thing yourself, fry up some wings and dump your favorite BBQ sauce over the top. But I bet your favorite BBQ sauce tastes a LOT better than their Honey BBQ sauce does.
The Salt and Vinegar were tasteless. My wife tried that one first, as she LOVES Salt and Vinegar wings, and these were the worst we've ever had. She usually gets them at the Albertsons on Charleston and Desert Foothills, and they are WAY BETTER from Albertsons. They have a strong salt and vinegar taste there, but these at Wing King were tasteless. Like they forgot to add any flavoring at all when they were cooking the wings.
Finally- the Garlic Parmesan were decent. Not exceptional, but good enough that if those were the only thing we ordered, we would return to try other flavors.
One last note- even the ranch and blue cheese dressing they charge you for isn't all that great. Like from one of those old time salad bars where they mix their own dressing, but water it down to make it go farther. Like that.
