Good food - wings, hot shots, etc.. Service leaves some to be desired - depending on when you go. Â There's some great servers for tables. Â Bar definitely could use servers who enjoy their job more and people more. Â They tend to talk only to the other servers - pretty annoying for travelers.
Review Source:My family and I visited the University Charlotte location on Tuesday 9/4/12 around 7:30 p.m. My daughter age 8 order BBQ wings. She bit into one wing and I gave my son age 2 one wing. She stated "the wings were hot". I told our waitress and her response was "my manager is only going to give you three wings" because your kids ate 2 wings. I was thinking to myself of course my kids needed to bite the wing to taste it. Did you want her to spit the meat out and place it back on the wing? It was meat left on the bones. This made my family night turn into a horrible experience. Â I told her I disagree with her she stated "I need to get my manager". Â I was thinking "ARE YOU SERIOUS" The manager came over and replaced the wings but it was the principal. Â If I wanted to eat/steal wings my husband and I would have ate them. Â Although my daughter did get 5 plain wings, the process was not customer service. Â (You had to call the manager for two wings.)
Review Source:Sorry WWC, had to downgrade you from 3 stars to 2. Â If you go here for lunch, be prepared to wait a super long time for the food/service. Â I don't know if it is been because we have gone when the place was short-staffed or not, but it seems to be a continuing trend (has happened 3 times now). Â The only really good thing is the lunch wing buffet and you can get your food right away.
Granted we only have 1hr for lunch, but when you spend the 40mins of the hour waiting on food, you end up shoving the food into you so you can't really enjoy it.
Poor server seemed to be cooking the food as well since she would disappear for long stents at a time. Â
You are still on my radar WWC, but you are on the short list to be ousted from our lunch options up here in the University area. :(
Went with a group of 8 on a Friday (today) 4 adults, 4 kids. Place was not full, maybe 70% of tables had people so sat right down. Â waitress was nice and pretty good, a little slow with napkins and silverware though. Â Seemed she was used to serving drinkers. Â She recommended a good beer that was not on the list.
My gripes:
--kitchen ssooooo slow. Â Our kids are pretty well behaved for elementary schoolers and they were saying, loudly, how hungry they were after 30 minutes after we ordered. Â Finally food came... just the kids stuff! Â ADult food came about 5 minutes later. Â Food was hot though, so I don't put any blame on the waitress. Â
--kids meals are *small*. The oldest kids were 9, and they were still starving after they ate everything. Â And these are not big kids, just normal average weight kids. Â The 6 year olds were still hungry. Â
Goods:
--waitress, as mentioned
--food was good at least. Â I had the veggie quesadilla though, which says black beans on the menu, and there were not ANY black beans in the thing. Â Not one. Â It was warm though and pretty good.
This is a pretty much American Food average place. Â Nothing really to shout about. Â They do have karaoke on Wednesday and also have other events like live music, beer pong, poker and other miscellaneous events throughout the week. Â The place could be amplified if they had better drink specials in my opinion, something the place lacks. Â They have a pretty big patio too, so some outdoor events would be nice to make the place more lively at night. Â Food is hit or miss in my experience. Â Fried pickles were horrible, but the nachos and fried mushrooms were off the chain. Â Good college hangout or a place for local apartment people. Â Just an average joint in my opinion. Â Too many of these chain places in Charlotte already...
Review Source:Let me start off by saying that my rating is only applicable to this location only. Â I have been to Wild Wings all over the southeast and they are fantastic. Â That being said, this one was terrible. Â We ordered the hot shots, big fat fries covered in cheese and wings. Â The hot shots were ok, the fries looked like someone sneezed some cheese on them, and the wings were luke warm. Â I almost sent them back but I didn't has anyone ever seen the movie "Waiting" yeah....I don't send food back. Â I went home and within 24 hours was experiencing...gastrointestinal disturbances. Â Needless to say, I will not be going back to this location. Â The only reason they didn't get one star is that the service was timely and the wait staff were pleasant.
Review Source:This place is ok. I had the ginger wings and it was surprisingly good. When it come to me it looked plain but it was full of flavor. I also had the potato skin with bacon and cheese and when I picked it up the oil literally came dripping out like an open faucet. This place does not really stand out in my opinion. It is unremarkable. No different from any other wing joint but the food is good.
Review Source:Stopped in here late Saturday night for some drinks with the crew. Â They quickly accomodated 15 of us around 10:30pm at night. Â They were busy, but not too crowded and there was a live band playing on the stage mostly 90's stuff, but occasional current covers. Â There's nothing unique about this place because it's a chain and it's a sports bar, but we really had a great night there. Â
Our waitress said she was really busy and a little overwhelmed, but I thought she did fine! Â She was quick and very attentive. Â I had a Coors Light and ordered the wings "hot." Â All drinks and food orders seemed to come out quickly and there was quite a variety between chicken tenders, nachos, LITs, shots, and the sort. Â All were quite happy with their choices and the service was great too.
I used to go to Wild Wing Cafe all the time when I lived in Southwest Charlotte. Â I LOVED their food, atmosphere, and prices, plus it was close to home. Â Since moving, though, I hardly get an opportunity to experience Wild Wing anymore. Â There's this one in the University area now, though, and I've gone there only a couple of times on my lunch hour. Â Why only a couple? Â Mainly the wait time. Â Both times (once probably 2 years ago and once just this week) I've gone there during lunch, the restaurant was practically empty, and we still had to wait 30-35 minutes for our meals after ordering. Â Seriously? Â Did the cook not show up? Â Is he/she still hung over from the night before? Â Everything on their menu can probably be cooked in 5-10 minutes. Â Maybe it's time to hire some new cooks?
On the positive side, I was very impressed by their expanded menu. Â I already thought they had an extensive menu before with lots of fantastic choices, but now Wild Wing has even more goodies to choose from. Â I went with an old standby, though: Â "Chicken Feathers" (grilled chicken fingers) with China Syndrome sauce (mmm...spicy!). Â You can get either fries with your feathers, or celery and blue cheese. Â But you *cannot* get fries AND the blue cheese (for the spicy chicken) without paying an additional 50 cents. Â And don't even try to request another tiny cup of extra sauce. Â That'll be another 50 cents, please! Â Luckily, I've learned my lesson over the years, and Wild Wing does a pretty good job of coating their chicken with sauce anyway. Â
My partner ordered the Bleu Cheese Basil Burger. Â He said it was one of the most amazing burgers he ever had, so I tried a bite of it. Â He was right. Â It was amazing and SO full of flavor. Â Italian marinade, crumbled blue cheese, and basil mayo = freakin' fantastic. Â
I guess most people who go there at lunch go for the all-you-can-eat chicken wing bar. Â Some dribbled in as we waited for our orders. Â I overheard someone stop one of the servers to remind her that the bar needed restocking as well. Â Seriously, what's up with the kitchen at this location? Â Shouldn't management be all over this? Â I'd love to frequent Wild Wing more often at lunchtime, but I'm pretty soured on having to take an hour and a half for my lunch break just because the cooks can't grill some chicken and fry some fries in less than 30 minutes? Â I can understanding waiting if the restaurant is busy, but when there's only 2 or 3 tables filled in your huge restaurant, come on...
Menu selection - 5 stars
Service - 4 stars
Food quality/taste - 5 stars
Wait time - 1 star
I absolutely LOVE this Restaurant. They have LIVE music on weekends, which my friends and I enjoy. During the week there's also some entertainment including karaoke. The food is always consistent and the pricing is in our budget. It's great for a fun night out with a group! Not to mention, the wings are the best in town and they have the MOST variety.
Review Source:The only reason it didn't get a 1 star is because I enjoyed the waiters and the drinks here are pretty good. Other than that nothing special. I ordered the onion rings as an appetizer only to get 6 huge rings with tons of batter and oil. The batter wasn't that great either as it was coated with some spices and a good amount of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).
I then ordered the Philly Cheese Burger. It's sort of a mix between a Philly Cheese Steak and a Hamburger. The burger itself wasn't bad. The let down in the burger was it was pretty expensive for a burger (which wasn't even that big.) I think I should have just stuck with the wings, but that's it. I don't think I will come here to eat again, but to drink with friends I will be back (even though the prices are a little expensive for day to day hang out.)
I have been to all the Wild Wing Cafe locations, and this one is by far the best. Needless to say we ordered the wings. Along with that, we ordered the House Chips... SO, why was it better?
Well, the wings were perfectly done and still hot when they got to the table. The house chips were COMPLETELY cooked and crisp (unlike the other two locations where they seem to be oily and soft).
Our waitress (Samantha) was great... she checked back with us several times for drinks... and followed up on the quality of the food immediately.
Overall, a good experience and we will go back.
Every once in a while, I'll get a "hankering" for wings & want the variety that only Wild Wing Cafe offers.
Luckily, this location is the closest one to me.
My favorite wings are lemon pepper, wild west, red, hot & bleu, ranchilada, & island jerk.
The employees here aren't the best, they're not very attentive. Even trying to be seated, you can't find anyone to seat you.
The layout of the restaurant is spacious, I never feel cramped.
TERRIBLE. Came with my family on vacation. Pretty much all of our orders were wrong. The waitress even came back to triple check what I wanted and still got it wrong. We also ordered appetizers and I don't know about anyone else but appetizers come first not with the meal.....kinda defeats the purpose. I don't know about the wings but the rest of the food really wasn't good. At the end the checks were separated and were wrong and my aunt got charged my moms bill on her credit card even though she had her bill in hand and my mom already paid. Bad night? Maybe.....not worth the hassle or money though when there are a few other places to eat in the complex. I will say though that they were pretty nice.
Review Source:Especially in a working suburb like the UC, lunch should be tasty, easy, and (above all else) fast. People out here aren't looking for fine dining (and Lord knows, Wild Wing Cafe is not fine dining) but they are looking for something fast and convenient. Ostensibly, this is what WWC offers. On a slow Tuesday at 12:30 pm we were the only customers in the place. They must have shut off the ovens, because our simple orders took more than 30 minutes to arrive. That's not okay. I cannot devote an endless amount of time to this enterprise; my lunch hour is finite.
And the nachos weren't even that good.
I arrived here with couple of friends to watch our first Panthers game for 2010/2011 session. We enter the vicinity and there was no one at the front counter for us to be seated so we waited and finally decided to pick our spot.
We were lucky enough to get two servers since one was under training. She was trying to figure out what to do, where to get stuff but she was sweet, fast enough to bring out what we needed which is perfect.
They have huge projector right in the middle and LCD TVs all around so you can't miss a game even if you try hard enough to avoid one unless you go there during off game time.
This place is getting only three star because of the fact that our food sucked big time on multiple orders. My friend ordered medium spice wings and they made it so spicy, they couldn't eat it more than four piece. I ordered veggie stuff which came out soggy and finally we ordered chocolate molten cake, which was cold and hard.
Chili's at university has the best chocolate molten cake in town.
What an all-around great place to go! My buddies and I go here often to watch football, go for Tuesday trivia nights, or just for a casual lunch. Also makes for a great casual date if you're dating the type of girl that's into wings and sports!
The wing selection can't be beat... they've got about 20-25 different sauces. I like BWW, but the selection here is much more complete. I'm one of those people who enjoys extremely hot food, so my choices in sauce may be different from yours; I typically go for Habanero Hots or Chernobyl, or at mildest the Hot. Anything else to me is boring, but everyone's different. If you want to try the Braveheart, I would request just one to start with. I could put down a few of them but definitely not a dozen of them. They are VERY hot.
I am somewhat of a wing purist but I have heard great things about the boneless wings. The few times I've had other things on the menu, they've always been good quality-- chili, burgers, etc.
Great beer specials too; this location has been doing $3 Sweetwater draughts for a while now (Sweetwater Blue and 420), which is usually what I go for.
Definitely stop in and give it a shot; one of the best wing places in Charlotte.
I have been to the WW in Asheville I Guess more than 30 times always great food service and drinks. BUT... there is something about The WW At this location and one other it seems like it must be KFC.
   IT all started about 230pm I guess I had passed by this location a few times but, decided to stop. They had a all u can eat wing and soup I think (I am trying to forget). FIRST THE SERVER DID NOT HAVE A CLUE. So I get to the buffet line 4 dried out wings and no soup. I stopped 2 employees and asked about the food they looked at me like I was from MARS...I and I guess 4 people waited for wings nothing came out. I LEFT 3 dollars on the table for the tea and was out of there. I CALLED THE PLACE a few moments later and spoke with a bartender who sounded like he was on crack that said he was 'in charge right now"HE kept repeating over and over what I was saying so there must have been some sort of medication... issue so I hung up.
     I called their Corp office and spoke with "David" who said he was a district manager he said the bartender should not have been in charge and laughed about it  ????After he tried to sweep it under the rug he invited me to another location and told me it would be better and after about 3 weeks sent me a letter with a gift card..
     So after about a month I was stuck in traffic pulled off and decided to give then one more chance... NOT goin to go into the terrible service while there you can message me if anyone wants details.. Anyway got wings to go got home opened the bag and a ROACH CRAWLED OUT DAMM. !!!!!! I called the CORP GUY and he said there is no bugs in that store...I ASKED HIM THEN WHAT JUST CRAWLED OUT A CHICKEN WING? Again he invited me to the location on Ardslye his FLAGSHIP LOCATION NOT ANY BETTER I GAVE UP ON WILD WINGS IN THIS AREA Â

I attended Wild Wing Cafe on a thursday evening and did not have to wait for a table. Â I was with two other people and we chose to eat in the non-smoking section. Â Unfortunately, there really isn't a difference between the non and smoking areas because we were accosted with cigarette smoke throughout our meal. Â If smoke REALLY offends you, I would recommend you ask the host/hostess to seat you in the far corner of the non-smoking section.
I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and the chicken was extremely HOT. Â Now, I enjoy spicy buffalo wings but the chicken in the wrap caused me to choke a bit from the intense heat. Â The fries were good and the prices are very reasonable.
I don't plan on going back because heavy cigarette smoke and game-watching are not my idea of good night out.
I prefer BW3 for this same kind of experience, but this place is ok. This branch is brand new, as William S indicated, so it's clean and the staff has that squeaky, newly trained feel that's kind of nice the first few times you go to a place.
The beer is cold, the fries are salty and crispy, and the games are on. It's what you'd expect from this kind of sports bar/chicken wing shilling establishment. It's not my scene exactly, but they do what they do well.
Brand new Wild Wing that a friend took me to. Â The one thing this location has over the others is: Â it is actually an okay location and it is clean. Â Of course it is brand new. Â
It is a cookie cutter of the others. Â You pretty much know what you are going to get when you walk in... Â For me, it is the overdone, over promised, under delivered product once again. Â Mediocre at best food driven by cold beer.
Servers were trying their best and I do give them a big thumbs up for trying... being it is new and all.
I am sure they will find their place in the market.
