Came here on a Sunday evening and was surprised that there weren't many people dining inside, although there were definitely plenty of to-go orders coming through. My party and I decided to dine in and ordered the family special, which included 24 wings, veggies, and breadsticks, and we added fries on the side. One thing I really liked was the option to choose up to three wing flavors. We decided on mild buffalo and lemon pepper with extra seasoning. While placing the order, I made it very clear that I wanted extra lemon pepper seasoning but did not want the wings overly drenched in the butter/oil base. The cashier acknowledged me, but I noticed she never entered the request into the register, which honestly became my first red flag. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and assumed maybe she would communicate it directly to the kitchen... unfortunately, that didn't happen. After paying upfront and taking our number to sit down, it seemed like there had been a rush before we arrived because several tables still needed to be wiped down. I had to request for our table to be cleaned, which normally wouldn't bother me, but it was disappointing seeing one employee standing around while another staff member was clearly overwhelmed handling the register, bagging to-go orders, and assisting customers. When our food finally arrived, the mild buffalo wings were delicious, the fries were hot and fresh, and the veggies were crisp. No complaints there at all. However, the lemon pepper wings were exactly what I feared they would be -- sitting in an excessive amount of oily butter base. I explained again to who appeared to be the manager that I had specifically requested extra seasoning without all the excess oil. Her solution was to bring extra seasoning on the side and suggest that next time I order it that way from the beginning. But the issue wasn't the seasoning itself -- it was the preparation. Once the wings are swimming in oil frying, coated lightly and dried, sprinkling extra seasoning on afterward doesn't really help because it doesn't stick the same way. It just throws the whole experience off seeing your food swimming in visible oil. I ended up having to remove the wings from the excess buttered oil myself, request another plate, and re-coat them at the table. At that point, it felt like I was finishing the prep work that should've already been done in the kitchen. Overall, I'd give this establishment about 3.5 stars. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to lobby cleanliness, teamwork during busy periods, order accuracy, and food prep consistency. This experience wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't the best. I'd still recommend this location because franchises can vary depending on management and staff, and the food itself was fresh and made to order. If I'm ever back in the area craving wings, I'd probably do takeout next time and make extra sure my lemon pepper wings aren't overloaded with oil. read more

Epic Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Very unprofessional experience. I went in to dine and was rudely told by two employees at the front that they "don't accept cash," which makes no sense for a food establishment with registers. What made it worse was the attitude as I was leaving, both employees were laughing and smirking, clearly mocking the situation. Completely disrespectful and immature behavior toward a customer. After looking through older reviews from 7 months ago, it's obvious I'm not the only person who has had issues with the "no cash" policy and poor customer service. Management keeps replying with "your feedback is important," but clearly nothing has been done to address the problem. Customer concerns mean nothing if the same complaints keep happening over and over. I won't be returning. read more

Do not eat here. I visited Epic Wings in Mission Valley on November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving, and witnessed something deeply upsetting. A young African American boy--maybe 8 to 10 years old--came into the restaurant politely selling candy. Instead of simply declining, the manager, Nick, yelled at him. He told the child "NO!" and to "GET OUT!" in a harsh, hostile tone. The boy walked out looking completely defeated. I spoke to him afterward, and he confirmed what I had seen. The interaction was filled with unnecessary anger and cruelty toward a child who clearly meant no harm. I later learned that he was selling candy to help his mother pay for their hotel room. She had lost her job after her car broke down, leaving her and her four children homeless. I gave her what I could and promised to look for additional resources. The stress in her eyes said everything. Epic Wings is part of this community. The very least they could have done was treat a struggling child with dignity. Even if they didn't want to buy candy, there was absolutely no reason to shout at him. The lack of basic empathy was disturbing. I went back inside and asked Nick what happened. He claimed he politely said, "No thank you," which was simply not true. His willingness to lie so casually was alarming. As I left, several customers looked at me and shook their heads, confirming that they, too, had witnessed the exchange. To top it off, the food wasn't even worth the trouble--tasteless wings and unseasoned fries. I am ashamed I had just spent $20 here. I will never return, and I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere. Buffalo Wild Wings, Hooters, even grocery-store wings are far better--both in flavor and in basic humanity. read more

I'm a big wings fan, and one of the best wings chained restaurants is Epic Wings. I must say I enjoyed their old name better as Wings n Things, but it has changed to Epic Wings. This chain is a must stop by for me every time I find myself in San Diego. This time, I stop by one in Mission. This location has plenty of free strip mall parking, service was fast, and the manager was really nice. The restaurant is clean. Of course, I love their wings, but the best thing on their menu is the bread. Highly recommended stopping by one of their chain when you're in San Diego. read more

Horrible service. Asked to sub a ranch for a sauce (which I do at literally every other location in San Diego including Convoy, El Cajon, Santee, Miramar, etc.) The cashier refuses saying she's unable to. I told her it's a norm at all of the other locations and she still doesn't oblige. Bummer but I'm never coming back to this one for sure read more

Actually not bad at all! Not too bad of a price, and the sweet chili sauce was really good. The wings are thoroughly coated in the sauce. The only thing is that I think the wings are a bit small & not very meaty. The breadsticks remind me of Olive Garden style breadsticks and I liked them. read more

Same wing quality you'd expect from a EW. I enjoyed that. The restaurant itself seemed slightly dingy the night I stopped in. The restroom definitely needed a cleaning and paper towels (it's a hand dryer only). read more

Hello, I visited the MV store today and was very unsatisfied with the meal I received. I ordered the 3-piece tender meal and was appalled by the portion size of the tenders -- they looked more like nuggets. For $15, I expected better quality and consistency from Epic Wings. I called and spoke with Nick, who told me I could return immediately for a remake. I explained that I was on my lunch break and that wasn't possible. He then suggested I return after work with the meal, which is unreasonable. Given the poor quality of the meal and the lack of a practical resolution, I'm requesting a full refund for this order. I hope this matter can be resolved promptly read more

Epic Wings - 3 pc Tenderloin Strips Combo Meal.. what I got was 3 chicken nuggets. Unacceptable! - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

This is probably not the closest location to me. But it is my go to one. It's never been to busy to where I wait long the staff is nice and it's always clean. My go to meal has always been 3 strip combo mild with a drink. Like the taste of the mild sauce taste a bit cheesy if you ask me. A friend recommended I add garlic to the strips and it is a game changer. From time to I try other items on the menu and haven't disliked anything. Would recommend. read more

Absolutely love the service at this location. Staff is always super friendly & there are lots of tables to sit inside. There used to be an outdoor area, but it looks like within the last year those tables were taken away. Food is always hot & fresh. Yesterday was the first time I ordered online & although it was busy when I arrived I was in & out within five minutes. Overall, loved the experience! Tons of parking (super busy parking lot) which is always a plus. read more

From the staff to the food ... Everything is amazing! Nick at the front is so good with the customers! Taylor is so polite on the phone!

We spent 28 bucks and we're still very hungry. 6 wings, 3 tenders. 2 small celery sticks, 2 small carrots. Wish I could get my money back. Or a percentage. Tastes good atleast read more

I'm a very big wing fan. I used to eat here many years ago when it was originally called the wings and things the sauce the wings is still the same. The best option is the loaded french fries. Also the buffalo chicken pizza bread my all-time favorite is the medium chicken strips with extra blue cheese. I highly recommend them very very experience. They know how to do it right read more

A co-worker of my wife who moved from Hawaii to San Diego suggested trying this place, Knowing me, I can't resist a recommendation. So I found the place and ordered the pepper lemon wing combo that comes with bone in chicken wings , garlic butter bread sticks, carrots, and celery sticks, plus a drink. My lunch partner had the hot chicken tenders with the same sides. My unbattered chicken wings came hot and crunchy with the just right amount of seasonings. Was a litter dry but good chicken wings. My lunch partner said that the battered tender strips were good and the sauce was nice and spicy hot. Pros: good flavors to the wings. Nice touch with the celery and carrots sticks. Love that garlic butter on my bread sticks and gota have sweet tea with fry chicken wings. Cons: Chicken wings were little to dry for me and too much garlic butter for my lunch partner. Would I go back? Yes. Next time, the wings might be better. LOVE THEM CHICKEN WINGS AND SWEET TEA. read more

Ok so first off.... I just paid $15 for 3 chicken strips, small drink and two bread sticks. I know we're experiencing inflation like crazy recently but gah dayum!! Haven't felt this ripped off in a while..... The only thing that was somewhat cool about my experience was the cashier who rang me up, she had a nice smile. But that's about all the positivity that I can recall. Probably not gonna go here again, EPIC FAILURE read more

Nick greeted us when we walked in & took our order. Kelly brought out our food & also checked in to see if we needed anything. Very kind staff. We ordered the #1 which are the tenderloin strips & we also ordered the single order of pizza sticks with mild sauce. It came out to be $28.98. We did dine in and there were plenty of tables to eat there. The inside is nice & clean & there is plenty of parking. read more

There is a really good fish company. I love to eat at in North County. A little over a year ago I went in to purchase food and they had went to a cashless system. I left them a one star and said if they ever changed I would remove it Because not accepting cash is unlawful. If I love your food and your restaurant and you choose not to accept my cash with no good explanation when you are required to by law does not deserve my business. I believe this is the reason why I have not been to epic wings in several months. I understand during Covid, but we are past that and as Americans to not take what this country was built on is shameful and sad. I wish you guys the best and like I did with the previous company if your policy changes, I will remove this negative commentbut until then, if I choose to spend cash versus using a card, that is my right read more

Epic Wings - This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private is a statutory declaration found on U.S. currency. - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Getting dinner from Wings n Things was always a special occasion when I was a kid. Growing up in San Diego, this is one of those places that you take for granted. The Mission Valley location of Epic Wings (no longer "'n-things") does the restaurant's legacy proud. The food is always on point! Consistent, fresh, hot, and neatly packed. The folks behind the counter are always friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The place is spotless and well maintained. I am glad that I can enjoy a San Diego classic and rest assured that they're getting the order right and ready on the nights I don't feel like cooking, or having a festive dinner with friends. Keep it up! read more

First time I've eaten at an actual Epic Wings location (normally I just have a bite from what my roommie orders for delivery). I have to say, it tastes really good fresh! I was pretty surprised how much I enjoyed their buffalo wings. They give a pretty decent amount of breadsticks and I was happy with the freshness of the carrots and celeries they provide. Normally this kind of food makes me sick, but, surprisingly, I felt fine after eating here. While these weren't the best wings I've ever had, they definitely get the job done and I would be more than happy to come here again. read more

Epic Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

I was very looking forward to eating the single pizza sticks I ordered until I got home and opened the box to eat and saw how overcooked this was. I saw that it was way overcooked and it was super hard that it made me lose my appetite and ruined my mood as well as I was looking forward to eating the pizza sticks. I ended up having to throw the food away. I'm overall very disappointed with how I received my food. I will be coming back tomorrow expecting a refund for this and If I don't receive that then consider it the last time I'll ever visit this location. read more

Epic Wings - BUG in food! - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been to many Epic Wings locations around San Diego but this one, in my opinion, beats them all. The service from the staff is always on point whenever I come in, for either pick up or dine in. For food, I usually get the Combo #2 with Honey BBQ sauce and they are by far the best with portions. I usually never get to finish my food all the way because it's a good amount for the price. The only downside I could think of is the parking lot which is busy the majority of the times I come in and I have to park a bit further. Other than that, I recommend this place! read more

The wings here never miss and if I could give their customer service 6 stars I would! I had a custom pick up order and the cashier was nice enough to double check my order for me and noticed that the cooks got my custom order wrong. She was super apologetic and asked the cooks to fix my order and even asked to rush it. read more

Food always good and for the most part every time I'm here the staff is nice and friendly.

I ordered 12 piece wings and it was ready very quickly. it tasted delicious as well. Great experience!

Typically get the double meal with medium and lemon pepper for the sauces, and a side of fries. It's plenty of food for 2 since it also comes with veggie sticks and breadsticks. Both traditional and tenders are good, you can't go wrong with either. This location is a decent size and always clean. Have both eaten and done take out from here. Customer service is always great! Will continue to come here when we want actual wings. read more
