I enjoy this location because of the environment...i can easily go to Pasadena but for some reason I enjoy how I am treated here. Plus the owner eats the wings! I have seen families raise children from babies to teenagers. Wings and history! read more

I'd heard great things and was genuinely excited to finally stop by. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match the energy I came in with. When I walked in, I mentioned it was my first time and commented on how busy it seemed, trying to start on a positive note. The response I got back "we're actually a lot busier than this", felt a bit egotistical. I understand everyone can have off days, especially when it's busy, but a little friendliness goes a long way in making new customers feel welcome. Despite that, I still left a small tip because I didn't want to risk the service declining. The food came out fast, which I appreciated, but when I got home I realized there were no napkins, utensils, or ketchup included, basic things I assumed would be standard, especially for takeout. But most of all, my celery!! Also, I ordered the "8 Piece Combo" and was surprised there was no drink included. The word "combo" typically suggests a complete meal, not just food items. The wings and fries were good though. Just wanted to offer this feedback as someone who really wanted to enjoy the experience. Hopefully next time will be better! read more

Yum!!! My favorite wing spot and location! The wings are always saucy and juicy and fresh! The service is exceptional! They keep coming by and asking if we need anything or want more water. My favorites are the hot and the lemon pepper wings! Delicious!! read more

I'd give this a solid 2.5. First time here and I don't think I'll go back. Prices are very reasonable but the place was nasty . Smelled like cheap detergent all around. The tables and menus sticky. Bathroom dirty, overall didn't feel comfortable here and I'm not a clean freak by any means. Water tasted like bleach, and the chicken sandwich, mediocre. Not as fresh as I thought it would be. Kind of soggy , not crispy . read more

Hot Wings Cafe - Menu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glendale, California

This is my very first review after eating at Hot Wings Cafe for the past 20 years, and it's long overdue. Simply put, no other hot wings place will ever compare. The wings are consistently amazing, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and always fresh. Their ranch dressing is absolutely unmatched, the kind you crave long after leaving. On top of the food, the customer service has always been excellent. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome every single time. Hot Wings Cafe isn't just a restaurant, it's a place that's become a reliable favorite for two decades. If you're looking for wings done right, this is the spot. Nothing else even comes close. read more

At Hot Wings Cafe, we picked up the 16-piece combo along with the double layered cheese fries, and it did not disappoint. The wings came out crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the cheese fries were loaded, rich, and done just right, cost $36 tax included with an extra bleu cheese also, two people easily filled up. Everything was fresh, just the restrooms and overall place lacked total cleanliness, but service was friendly and quick. read more

Service is great and the wings are delicious ! I love coming here for the cheesesteaks sandwiches too . So good

I came here with a friend the other night because we wanted wings. The wings were delicious and the portions are generous. I got the boneless wings, which reminded me of chicken nuggets and it came with a side of curly fries and ranch. The two flavors I went with were spicy bbq and hot. Although the spicy bbq flavor was not spicy nor tasted like bbq, it was still delicious. The hot was not spicy and was a bit too salty for me. The fries were crunchy and cooked to perfection. In addition to the wings and curly fries, I added an order of small veggies. It came with a lot of carrot/celery sticks. The service was amazing. Our server was friendly and funny. We waited about 25 minutes until our food came out. If you are in Glendale and are hungry for wings, I recommend visiting Hot Wings Cafe. Parking can be tricky and you also have to pay for it, plan ahead! read more

This place is so overrated. The service was bad, and the food was even worse. I'm not even a huge Bdubs fan, but honestly--Bdubs is way better than this. The wings here were extremely dry, tiny, and definitely not worth the price. The fries were soggy and flavorless. Nothing about the experience was memorable--in a good way, at least. Definitely not a spot I'll be returning to. read more

We order from Hot Wings Cafe often, but the quality has really gone downhill. They don't pay attention to the order details--my husband's food was ice cold, possibly from being packed with the vegetables in the same tray, and they also forgot our 1/2 pint of ranch. The servers in the restaurant are subpar, and the original owner's son, who seems to be running things now, is consistently rude, rushed, and appears annoyed. I'm sorry to say this, but you're in the customer service business and dealing with hungry people--being a little kind doesn't cost you anything. We spend a lot of money on wings and fries and just want a positive experience with the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere. read more

Food is Always on point! Atmosphere is always vibing. BUT the servers are Amazing. Angelique is our Fav by far. Starting with her beautiful smile. She always goes above and beyond. Shes a keeper read more

Their wings are always perfection. Recently we have been getting large orders to go to bring it home and everything tasted so fresh. This is a must go place if you want wings and fries. Been going here for years and years and they never disappoint. read more

So I've always tried the Hot Wings Cafe in Pasadena, and it always just been mediocre to me. However, I feel it's because it's smaller their. I like this location in Glendale and the service. I forgot our server name but she was good, and accommodating. Happy my friend decided to come here because it's been years since I've came. The food was good and done well. I ordered the 8 piece combo with half spicy bbq and the other half hot. For my side I substituted for Caesar salad instead of fries. My friend order fries and mozzarella sticks, and they looked really delicious as well. I tried a few fries and they were really good ! The inside it good for large parties and gets pretty busy. Good ambiance if you wanna hang out with your friends or chill and eat. Not too much decor just pretty much basic. You can park in front or in the back. On Sunday's parking is free, but other days you do have to pay. read more

This is "The Wing" spot forever for me. No other wing spot has ever done it better yet. Service is great and wings are excellent.

This place is disgusting. The bathroom smells like a sewer and is always dirty. The kitchen looks the same. The workers are rude, lazy, and slow. Imagine what they do to your food in the back while it's cooking. Plus, two orders of wings, fries and coke came to $58!!!! read more

So they keep getting bad reviews taken out it seems. I'm reposting with edit so people can see the truth. Wings have gotten 60 percent smaller- many have pieces of the feathers- wings come really dry so you can get charges for extra sauce. They used to give you 2 little ranch cups for your order now it's 1 so you can get charged for more. I loved this place but now I've come across wings that have almost no meat on them. And the bathrooms are very very very dirty. $60 for two people for wings is wild. Take your money elsewhere. read more

We have dined here for years. I noticed today that our bill did not match the menu prices. I asked and I was told that the prices went up over a year ago but the menus were not updated. They would not adjust the bill! Avoid the bathroom if you don't want to lose your appetite. read more

Tried these wings at a family party and was blown away by how delicious they were so I made my way to the Glendale location and it did NOT disappoint! The Mild hot wings and lemon peppered wings were PERFECTION! I would much rather come here than go to wing stop. The wings were perfectly seasoned and juicy. Paid parking all around Service was great! The ambiance is a bit loud but it's appropriate for a wing spot read more

I've been a long time customer here and can say that service and food quality has gone down. So many complaints from tonight's visit and probably will think twice before coming back. We sat down and not soon after we were asked to move to another booth because they wanted to seat another group there. I was hesitant but I did them a favor and just said okay to avoid any disagreement. We were sat elsewhere and from that point on it went downhill. They took long to attend us and once they did, the food took forever to come out. The table we were moved from had their food come out first and we ordered way before them. Also, a table next to us who reordered another 50 wings after we ordered and received their big order before us. Finally, the food shows up, but only my wings and not my partners wings show up. To make things worse my wings are not hot anymore, and are barely warm. It took another almost 10 minutes for my partners food to come, but luckily her food came hot. After, we never were attended again for a refill or anything else we may need; until we finished basically and we decided to just get up with our leftovers to go pay or we might've never got out. read more

Been coming here for about 20 years now. During that time, they've maintained the quality and tastiness of their wings, while also providing excellent and friendly service in a fast casual setting. Great spot to watch a game with friends and some beers too. Their 8 wing combo with spicy lemon pepper wings is my go to. read more

What a great experience! Greeted immediately while we came in. I've had their buffalo, bbq, spicy bbq and lemon garlic buffalo. I'd have to say the best one was by far the lemon garlic buffalo. Chicken is fresh. Cooked perfectly! the crunch is amazing. I did notice some of what other reviewers said. The bbq ones were EXTREMELY dry. And I couldn't even eat them they were so dry. But for some reason the other ones weren't. I'm not sure what's going on in the back of the kitchen but consistency isn't quite there. The curly fries are good. No issues there. The staff was very helpful. I like how they also offer beer and wine. I mean who doesn't want some beer and wings? Overall I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite of wings and beer. You really can't go wrong. And if the consistency got better with how moist the other chicken was compared to the overly dry ones? I without a doubt think this place would be far more recognizable on that front. I will definitely return and update my review if the quality/freshness improves. Food: Average. Décor: new clean and enjoyable. Staff: never had an issue. Always helpful. Bathrooms: Very clean. read more

Been coming here for years. They definitely don't need my review, as it's always poppin here and business must be great... but here it is. The wings are delicious. Can't go wrong with hot or bbq. Spicy bbq would be amazing if it was just a bit more spicier than bbq. I recommend eating there if you get onion rings or cheese fries (which you should). Anyways. Great wings, and taste much better than the pumped up wing stop wings that are inflated with hormones. read more

Damn man fall off is an understatement, very disappointing experience overall. The wings are all deformed, looks like they're cutting costs & letting quality fall while just upping the price. The Hollywood location is still solid but I won't be back to this location. Been going to this location since 05' used to love this place but now they're on the same level as Wingstop and most shitty chains. Service was solid otherwise but that's about it. Sides were still relatively good but the wings were not good at all.. read more

This place isn't what it used to be. I've been going here for 15+ years and the food/service has become disappointing. I ordered delivery today and they included 1 little side of ranch with an order of 12 wings, cheese fries, and onion rings. Extra ranch incurs an additional charge on Ubereats. I figured they'd at least include 2 or 3. The cheese fries had 2 visible pieces of sliced cheese melted on it. Cheese fries costs $2.25 more than regular fries. So you're telling me these 2 pieces of melted cheese are worth $2.25? Seems like management has started cutting a lot of corners to save some money but it's at the expense of customer satisfaction because this is laughable. I've always loved the food and the atmosphere but I'm disappointed at the lack of service. read more

Be sure to check your order before you leave. They are known for shorting their clients on wings. It's unfortunate however, a error after paying full price is quite disheartening. All I got in response was a sorry about that... read more

Ordered 16 wings, Philly cheesesteak sandwich and buffalo chicken sandwich. I take full blame for the sandwiches. The restaurant is called Hot Wings, not Good Sandwiches. The cheesesteak was incredibly dry. I didn't even know it was possible to make a cheesesteak dry. They're supposed to be extra cheesy and greasy. The buffalo chicken sandwich just two chicken tenders thrown on a roll with half a slice of cheese, wilted lettuce and an overripe tomato. Also incredibly dry. The only saving grace was the wings which are good, hence the stars for this review. But they put one small cup of ranch for 16 wings. Extra ranch was an extra cost. Please. If you just want wings I guess go here? But anything else you're wasting your money. Added un-bonus - the Door Dash driver took half an hour to drive 3 miles. I wish there was a way to take back my tip. read more

This is my 3rd time here, it's a decent place for wings since it's right by my school. But honestly it's not the best wings I've had. The service is great though and the place is clean, but other then that this isn't my fave spot. Maybe I'll try something else on there menu. read more

I've been eating here for over 20 years. Their food is awesome. The service is not so good lately. Ambience is nice. It's like a sports bar quality food but lately they've been cutting corners and I don't like that. This is the second time this is happened to me first time with something else and this time the fries they charge me six bucks for fries. It was cold and soggy and not filled up to the top. I just want to see you guys. Please take care of your customers because today is your customers keeping you in business read more

We ordered spicy lemon pepper 16 count and regular wings with 2spicy souse and 2extra ranch. They forgot the extra ranch but charged for it. As well as i had to throw the wings away because they were very spice FEATHERED wings! This place was our go to for long weekend care outs but this was disgusting! read more

I'll start by saying the service here is good. They check on you consistently during the meal. The food though is not good. The chicken isn't crispy nor does it taste fresh. Also ordered the curly fries, they are not great. They aren't seasoned which was really upsetting as they seemed like regular fries that are curly. read more

A true staple in Glendale. I've dined in the restaurant a great handful of times but mostly get takeout nowadays. The wings are still as good all these years later - crispy yet tender with tasty hot sauce. Their ranch is some of the best I've ever had, none of that bs hidden valley stuff. I like their onion rings too. My only complaint would be that I feel that they're cutting corners in some areas recently: the fries are occasionally stale and tasteless, and the veggies we got with our recent order were clearly going bad. I get it - times are tough, but rotting veggies are kind of off-putting. Anyway, still the best wings around. read more

This is the pleace you do NOT want to order from, especially you dont want to deal with the manager name Erik. I have placed an order through ubereats and it never arrived, I have called them and they say it is not their problem, but uber showed me they have assigned a driver and they was at the spot to pick it up, and the restaurant told them we have put the order inside a robot to be delivered. The problem is if they assigned to a robot and the route was started by the robot, the system could not send driver after the same order, and if the system has changed from a robot to a driver to deliver the order, the restaurant could not put it inside a robot, and if they put it somehow, its restaurant fault of misleading and mismanagement. Now they claim it is not their problem, and I should talk to uber to get a refund, and uber does not get resposibility because they never picked up an order. Restaurant lies, and does this to get the money and not deliver anything to customers, expecting that people will get refund from uber and would reorder (they would make double the money for one order). I have paid for a big order and left with no food, and stock with guests with no food. Hot wings sucks! Erik is the biggest looser, has no customer service and not fit for its job whatsoever. Hot wings cafe, weak customer service, a no go place. read more

This place is the definition of low effort. Absolute rip off. Uber eats order arrived lukewarm- cold. There is barely any sauce on the wings, mostly just oil - no sauce on shriveled fatty wings. Curly fries are unseasoned and soggier than my socks after a hike. Zero effort. Garbage. Really wish I had gone to wingstop instead they never disappoint. UPDATE : less than 12 hours later my girl has food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea. Avoid this place at all costs. A - holes read more

This really used to be my families favorite place to go to. I don't know what happened with change of management or something but they've lost their touch. Food is horrible for the price they're charging. I had a really bad experience a couple years ago came back in town to try it once more but never again. read more
