The Wingery

This business is untrustworthy. Good full of cross contamination. Got sick many times. Asked staffhow they are treated and they say they are well under paid and are ripped off. Do not support a filthy business owner that does not care for the customers, but even for their own employees.

Salmonella!!!
Normally this is our go to wing place. We have it once a week as our treat. In the last two months everything has gone downhill. The second last time we ordered, both my husband and my wings had virtually no sauce/​flavour. You have to pay extra for wings to be actually sauced. Extra for dipping sauces too (included at other wing places). So, We tried again yesterday and not only was it the same poorly sauced and overly greasy, my chicken was UNDERCOOKED!!! Now you see I feel like dying because I have salmonellosis. Even though it was only three wings I ate after realizing they weren’t just off, they were not fully cooked! We will never eat here again.

Our Friday lunch excursions led us in search of chicken and so we ventured out to The Wingery. As the name suggests this is a place you go if you are in the mood for wings. They also have other chicken dishes like tenders and sandwiches as well.
The Food
The food was good. I had chicken fingers with Thai sauce and I liked it. Lambert got 2 pounds of wings and they were the biggest wings I had ever seen. Ryan ate a chicken sandwich. For the price it was a pretty good deal.
The Location
The Wingery is located in a strip mall with tons of parking which is nice. Inside it is very clean and well kept. There is a small a mount of seating, a couple 2 person tables, but not much else inside.
The Service
This is the only place I had a problem with. Let me start by saying that the staff were nice and helpful, my problem was that they food was very slow to come out. We arrived at 12:07 and did not receive our orders until 12:48. Apparently there were several larger orders placed that clogged up the kitchen and I understand that but waiting over 40 minutes for fried chicken and wings was just to much for me. If I eat from there again I would definitely order well in advance to make sure I wasn’t stuck in the same situation.

We decided to come here today as it was my co-worker’s turn to select lunch for Friday. I looked at the menu and since they had a special going on until June 1^st (Buy one pound get one pound for free) I knew I’d be getting wings.
This place is inside a small strip mall near Upper Middle and Headon and this place is basically a take out and delivery kind of establishment. While they have some tables, they are only tables for 2. There are about 3 down a hall and a couple at the front of the store. Everybody ordering there was taking out it seemed.
We learned today that it’s probably best to call in or order online ahead of time. We arrived around 12:10pm and didn’t leave with all of our orders (3 of us) until about 12:45. The place was pretty busy. There was a lot of people coming in and the phone was ringing as well.
They can only fry so much chicken in the time it takes to properly cook it. When I received my wings, these are some of the largest chicken wings I’ve ever seen to point it was was almost a concern. I’ve never had such large, meaty wings in my life.
I had ordered a pound of Jerk and a pound of Dry Cajun. The breading was done very well. The flavors were both very good. The Jerk because they were sauced seemed to get a little soggy as I received my food before my 2 coworkers. I ended up eating my fries while waiting for their food to come out. The dry Cajun were amazing. The wings were not sauced (dry of course) so they remained crunchy and the spices were very good. Fried chicken done properly considering the wings were very large, it would take extra time to cook these wings through and through.
The drumlets had perhaps more meat than some thighs I’ve had before. The flats were also very meaty and very filling. With the 2 pounds I had about 15 wings or so. The split from flats to drumlets was about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ even. I was really full after the small fries and those wings. Normally with normal sized wings I can eat 30+ no problem. These wings were very large, meaty and filling. On average each wing would cost about just under 2 bucks each. This would make sense considering the size of them. Each one is easily 2 to 3 times larger than an average sized chicken wing.
We had an order take out menu so the flavors weren’t really explained. The flavors were better explained on the in store menu. I was looking for «Buffalo» and I now know it’s called «Swamp Sauce» aka New York butter etc.
They also have sandwiches and boneless etc. It’s not only chicken wings.
The issue is the wait. The demand for now is really high perhaps because of the 2 for 1 special but we have learned for future to order ahead. This place can only cook so many wings in so much time and lunch being prime time well you get the picture.
