The serve wings alright. And good beer. Not the largest selection of sauce but don't need much. Wings are small but cooked well, blue cheese dip pretty decent. Service was really non-attentive though, flagging down wait staff was a difficult, so much time was spent with an empty beer glass and even longer to get the check.

if you like your wings fried to a crisp this place is for you. My tooth might be cracked from eating the wings but the blu cheese and fries made up for it. Service was ok, atmosphere is very cool.

We got really lucky as we discovered this place on Wednesday which happens to be their $0.99 wing day limit 30 a customer. But these are really good WINGS! they’re crispy and their lemon pepper is amazing. They only do Blue cheese, which is the correct way so thank you for that lol

The wings These may be the best wings I have ever eaten. They are crispy and flavorful. I had buffalo one night and hot buffalo the next. Both flavors are amazing. The plain and vindictive fries are great too. If I lived nearby, this would be my go to place!

This was my first time at this restaurant, and I was excited to try wings in Seattle for the first time. I’m a big wings guy, but I can be pretty picky about how they’re cooked and prepared. I typically like them crispy, but not too heavy on the sauce. To start, the service was average at best. I didn’t feel particularly welcomed but not unwelcome either. Just a neutral vibe from the staff. It was a Sunday, so I can understand that working weekends might not be the most motivating. I placed my order quickly and sat down to wait. After 25 minutes, I kindly asked the waiter to make my order to-go since I was on a lunch break and needed to head back to the office. They agreed and let me know that each order of wings takes 20 minutes to fry. I wish that had been mentioned upfront as it seemed like a long wait for a place that has "Wings" in the name. Especially since the restaurant wasn’t busy. There were maybe about three other parties already in the restaurant. I ordered 12 wings and fries. The fries were decent. Unfortunately, the wings were the most overcooked I’ve ever had. They were extremely crispy and chewy like beef jerky. On the bright side, the sauces were tasty, and the consistency was spot on. The wings themselves were smaller than I’m used to, so maybe they shouldn't be fried for a full 20 minutes. The blue cheese dip was awesome! The restaurant’s atmosphere was clean and chill. Would I eat here again? Maybe. IDK.

The wings were stellar - friends have recommended this place for a while and finally made it by. Loved the hard fry they do on the wings - we got medium buffalo and could have gone spicier. The lemon pepper wings were great as well. Burger was fine, but wings were standout for me

Great wing restaurant with far and above the best *bathroom* in Seattle (it felt really weird to write that). The menu is kinda sassy (“No ranch. Grow up.”) and simple, but their namesake item is reason to visit. The wing sauces are phenomenal and the wings are cooked perfectly. Both bathrooms are Christmas themed (music and all) and truly the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

I’ve been here several times before I wrote this review, so I feel like my sample size is big enough for a good perspective. I try wings everywhere I go, and even used to work at a wing restaurant — I like getting them crispy and extra saucy, and I order extra blue cheese. See if you can get the classic buffalo crispy wings with extra sauce, and also the dry wings. They really are so good! If you’re a wing fan, definitely stop by – you can get six at a time and they might be able to mix and match for you if you ask nicely.
