| - While I used to be a regular of the Kitchener location, I am not as much a fan of the Calgary location as of yet! That being said, they are a new venue and certainly need to learn a couple of things - they could certainly take tips from the franchise owner in KW!
The wonderful thing about Wild Wing is truly the variety of choices you have. While some are ultra-saucy (and I frequently request that they go light on the sauce! BEWARE! If you dislike soupy wings - ask them to go easy on it if you order anything with their Gar-Par or blue cheese sauce! Sorry Wendy!), others are quite dry, it all depends on how you like it.
My personal preference is not even on their list of 102 flavours, and they happily abide by my request to have it anyway - I order Maple & Hot almost every time I go - in between Catch Me If You Can (Very Hot & Maple) and Deperado (Medium & Maple).
The real day to go is Thursday - Pint and a Pound for $13. And a pound of wings isn't ten skimpy wings, it averages out to 9 per pound, and they are meat galore. I would like to see the chickens that the wings and legs come off of because they are a little large! That being said, they know not to go after the $0.25 wing fans - these wings are fairly monstrous, and you will be hard pressed to finish a second pound.
The biggest drawbacks? They haven't quite figured out that the bone-buckets on the table are a little disgusting by most people's standards (stick to plates! seriously, one plate per person is much less gross than a Corona beer bucket), and for some unknown reason, they haven't figured out they need to build a better wall to zone off the front door from the cold! Sit far back near the washrooms or near the bar, not near the door - there are no groups sitting there for a reason.
All in all - good wings, great service, a little cold but it is a good spot that has not quite taken off yet.
