I love chicken wings....that's why I have them at least once every week, usually at my favorite wing spot- St Louis Wings & Ribs. But I am always willing to try other locations, since there are so many chicken wing places in Toronto, I might as well give them a try!
One day I decided to follow my friends to their favorite chicken wing spot, Puck N Wings. I've passed by this location many times but it's sort of far from where I live. So due to convenience, I never bothered to try it until this decided to take me.
Inside of the restaurant is pretty casual, just like any other pub or sports bar. It's laid back with lots of random sporting gear displayed everywhere and TV hanging off the wall. Given the fact that I am not a crazy fan of any sport.....food matters the most for me!
They have very extensive menu even besides wings. I didn't really bother looking at other items since this was a chicken wing spot. But even for chicken wings..they offer lots of flavors you can choose from. I left the ordering to my friends since I wasn't sure what was good here.
For some reason, I didn't want to drink that day (excuse me!?) so I decided to order a sprite. The drinks are huge, they were almost twice the size of iphones! They are $2.99 each with free refill.
Ordered: Caesar Salad with bacon 3/5
* This came in a huge bowl for $8.99
* Even if you were having this for a meal, it would be very big in portion
* Like every other restaurant served caesar salad, it was drenched with dressing (fattening but so delicious)
* It was a little too rich and heavy to be eaten with chicken wings and fries
We ordered 3 different flavors of wings and they are all served with carrot and celery sticks. You have to order fries as a side if you wish (St. Louis serves their wings with side of fries but no veggie). I was almost shocked to see how big their chicken wings were. They were almost twice the size of regular chicken wings.
Ordered: Cajun Dry Rub 4/5
* Overall a mild flavor (almost taste just like salt + pepper)
* Around 5~6 wings
* Served with ranch sauce
Ordered: BBQ Medium 3/5
* Very strong sauce
* Sour BBQ sauce (the type that goes up your nose)
* Wings are very meaty
Ordered: Creole 5/5
* This was one of the new flavors I've tried
* Tasted just like honey mustard sauce but light
* Sweet mustard with hint of creaminess
* Probably my favorite one out of all
Ordered: French fries (blade fries) 5/5
* Side order for $4.99
* Ordered them extra crispy
* Served with creole sauce (honey mustard)
* Crunchy through out
Ordered: Curly fries (skate lace fries) 4/5
* Side order for $4.99
* Big portion for a side but overall kind of pricey for side order of fries
Summary: I really enjoyed chicken wings from Puck n Wings. But maybe I got too used to half price wings at St.Louis Wings I just don't like paying more than $10 for wings AND fries. Also, I prefer St.Louis because they give you fries for free with a order of chicken wings where at Puck n Wings...you have to pay $4.99 to order them as a side. I wouldn't mind going back if I was in the area with friends- but if I just wanted chicken wings, I am sticking to my all time favorite, St.Louis!
