Wings Reviews Summary

Wing Quality

Pros:

• "Excellent, **large**, juicy and tasty wings!"
• "They don’t halve their wings, so 3 full wings is 6 normal wings."
• "The chicken skin was crispy with a succulent interior and the sauces are well balanced and not too sweet."
• "The wings are perfect, crispy, tender and quality portions."
• "The wings are always perfectly cooked (never dry!) and you always get a generous amount of dry seasoning or sauce."
• "The wings were crispy and the sauces were delicious."
• "The chicken wings were fantastic with nice crispy skins."

Cons:

• "For 3 wings swimming in the sauce (they were tiny so I got 4) you pay £ 5.60 and the same price for 7 small chicken nuggets."
• "The wings in general were over cooked and dry and the sauces were a bit on the naff side of things with barely any flavour."
• "The taste of the wings is not that great (they seem a bit over fried) and the place smells funky because of the mix of smells from the sauces."
• "The wings were okay, you can tell they’re frozen."
• "The chicken wings are just full of gristle and cartilage."
• "Thought the wings we got were really low quality, felt more like a vulture trying to scavenge the last bits of meat on a carcass."
• "The wings were a bit bland."

Sauce Variety

Pros:

• "This place has a huge list of different sauces to go with their chicken."
• "They have such a variety of sauces you'll never get bored."
• "So many choices of different sauces for the wings, we ended up ordering three different types and loved them all!"
• "Every type of wings you can ever imagine - and more. Around 100 different sauces and toppings to choose from."
• "80 flavours of chicken wings from salad dressing right through to extremely hot and everything in between."
• "Absolutely loads of flavours to go on your wings."
• "The selection of sauces is so extensive that I'm sure you'll find something for everyone."

Cons:

• "The sauces are not that hot as the names would suggest."
• "Louisiana hot sauce was very tasty, however got Mariachi wings, which were bland."
• "The sauces were a bit on the naff side of things with barely any flavour."
• "Each of our sauces felt more experimental than curated, like a nine year old given free reign at a soda fountain."
• "The sauce selection was massive but when you looked closer it was all the same few mashed up in various ways."
• "Specifically the dry rubs (we had two) tasted pretty much the same."
• "But drowned in sauce."

Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Overall great value for money and well worth a visit."
• "The staff also seem to be colleagues and friends and sat outside could hear good banter between them and that came across in the service too as every one of them were friendly, helpful and enjoyed being there."
• "Atmosphere was great and service was friendly."
• "Very attentive service and phenomenal quality-price ratio."
• "The service was great and staff was friendly."
• "Service was excellent."
• "The staff were lovely, the food was good."

Cons:

• "Bit of a sniffy attitude from the staff too."
• "Very strange experience with the manager."
• "Unbelievably poor customer service. A real let down after really looking forward to tasting their wings."
• "Also...some of the staff are a tiny bit rude."
• "The service was a bit meh. The bloke we had just sat us down ran through the prices and left."
• "Unfortunately second time the place was very full and the staff wasn’t so friendly."
• "Staff are pretty quirky and sometimes it can take a little while to get served, especially if you're sitting downstairs."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "One order of wings here is £4.50 and only includes 3, but don't let that scare you!"
• "At only £4.20 for 6 wings it's a good deal."
• "It's also quite inexpensive."
• "It's really cheap too."
• "Very good value for money too."
• "Great value here."
• "Very good value for money (it is actually cheap compared to other restaurants in the area)."

Cons:

• "Wings were a bit small, about the size of a kfc drum stick for all 3 wings. Sauces were good. Assuming inflation is hitting the wing market now a days. 20 pounds for 6 wings, mozzarella sticks and potato bites. Too me a bit pricy."
• "£11.40 for the amount of cauli wings was quite expensive but you are in the middle of Edinburgh and sauces can be expensive."
• "Both nuggets and wings are overpriced, and cooked from frozen, them covered in sauce, instead of flavour batter, with I believe they can afford for £4.90 for 4 wings, which is £1.22 for one wing! Not recommended at all."
• "a bit expensive for the drinks offered and for only 3 pieces of wings per serving."
• "It wasn't the cheapest either."
• "The bowls are now £4.20 per six wings. Still a good(ish) price, but a stark difference from the original £2.50 in their pre-Fishmarket time."
• "It is slightly more expensive than I'd have liked, but actually worth every penny."

Decor and Theme

Pros:

• "The venue is perfect, cozy, nerdy, console filled and chill."
• "This place is decorated so cool. I love the Nintendo stations."
• "Really incredible choice of wings in a really cool space."
• "The place is a tribute to popular culture as every table section belongs to its own franchise, be it Harry Potter, Jurassic Park or Predator."
• "Also really liked the decor inside with references to pop culture, personal favourite was Rick and Morty pictures."
• "It also has a really well curated interior with wonderful artwork on the walls, a feast both for the eyes and the stomach!"
• "The decorations inside were insanely creative too. So many walls full of stickers or paintings that are really interesting, I love them all!!"

Cons:

• "However, please don't forget that as in many places in Edinburgh you're located in a cellar and therefore the smells and flavours of the kitchen linger. This can become a bit overwhelming if you're not mentally prepared."
• "It's not the classiest place to eat, and the amount of spicy sauces they have give the place a really unique smell."
• "Menu as changed old classic remain but lots of citrus and fruit twists added not so sure about them. Decor is looking tired in places."
• "The decorations are lots of fun (futurama, die hard, alien, predator murals) but it is very basementy."
• "The place is a bit of a mess too. It has so much potential and could be awesome if they made their food fresh to order and sorted out the junk behind curtains and patches of wall paint missing."
• "The bathroom pretty gross, but other than that everything was great."
• "Smells a little strange when you go in."
