This restaurant is nestled in the brand new Edmond Railyard building on W. 1st Street, right across from Edmond Farmers Market. This new building has very nice, clean public restrooms that are positioned outside of the shops within. So far, the only restaurant in this building is Hott Wings, but there's an Oak City Pizza restaurant coming soon. Hott Wings has a cool bar vibe and of course everything is new and fresh. Yes, families are welcome.
When we arrived, no one greeted us or told us what to do (wait or pick a table). After standing at the entrance for a couple minutes, we just decided to take a seat. After about 10 minutes, a waitress came over to get our drink orders. It was probably at least another 10 minutes before she returned with the drinks and was ready to take our food order. We asked her what the Secret Weapon sauce tastes like and she seemed to be unable to put it into words (literally). She asked if we wanted a sample to try and we said yes, but when she came back about 15 minutes later, she came with no sample and asked to take our order. At this point, I'm getting annoyed at how long it's taking to do every single thing, but I'm hoping that the food will make up for it.
While she is taking our order, the owner walks by, and she asks him to grab a sample of the Secret Weapon sauce. We tasted it and love it. This is probably going to be my favorite sauce now. It's a mix of something sweet with soy sauce. It reminds me of what a potsticker sauce tastes like.
My husband, son, and I all ordered boneless wings. One set with garlic Parmesan sauce, one set with Secret Weapon sauce, and one set plain. The wings were fantastic, albeit a little small. The flavors were there though, which is primarily what we were looking for. I also love that they give you celery and carrots with your wings, it's always a favorite of mine at wing restaurants.
The spinach artichoke dip (appetizer) came with chips, celery, and carrots. It was great, but it was not brought out ahead of time. She brought it with all of the rest of the food, which was a little frustrating because my son was flipping out due to all the noise and the extended wait time for the food. It took a good 40 minutes from the time that we ordered to receive our food. It would've been nice to receive the appetizer before the wings, to break that wait up a bit.
We also ordered garlic parmesan fries with ranch. The fries were good but completely saturated in the parmesan garlic sauce. I guess I expected them to be a little different, but they tasted alright.
The restaurant was very clean and the staff was friendly, when they were around. The price of our meal came to around $60. I think that's a little high for what we got, but I would definitely go back to try it again at some point. The food is great, I have zero complaints about the flavors. The wait time and staff efficiency definitely need improvement. This is not a place you would want to come on a quick lunch break.
Note: If your kids are sensitive to loud noises, I'd say try someplace else. Between the people and the music, it was quite loud. Didn't bother me at all (I loved the music), but my husband had to step out at one point to have a break from the noise and my son, who has ADHD, was extremely ramped up with everything going on. Definitely some stimulation overload for him. However, with that said, it's basically a wings bar, so we weren't expecting a quiet dining experience. I just wanted to paint a picture for readers and parents of special needs kids. The environment was very well suited for the type of restaurant it is. We will try this place again. I can't wait to see what other businesses move into this building. Many more great things to come in sure. read more
