Food was delicious. We had a tray of various spicy chicken wings! Love the presentation and experience! Also ordered a chicken sandwich that was equally as delicious! Service was a bit of a problem but I think it was just a miss understanding. I'm still gonna give them 5 stars because they were so apologetic and attentive after they found us. Views were sooooo great. On the lake and very peaceful! Played a game or two of corn hole- tons of fun!!!! read more

Great experience overall , food was hot and fresh, service was quick and efficient, got to meet new GM who stopped and checked on us and helped get the golf tournament on , we will be back read more

Had a family get together at this sports bar and I wanted to express to everyone how great it was. The service was probably one of the best sports bar I can remember, I wished I could remember his name but that young man was awesome (hopefully the tip showed it!) As soon as any one of us glass went empty, he was there. The bar service was a little slow, but once we got it the hang of when to order it all worked out. We are a huge college football family, and we had all the games surrounding us that we wanted to see. We did eventually order a platter of wings for the table and we were not disappointed, matter of fact, a few of us said they might be the best wings we have ever had, which is saying a lot of wings! We will definitely be back when we are visiting family! read more

Wild Wing Cafe - Sports Bar Seating - Chicken Wings Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Location, had no clue right on a lake! Little too chilly to sit outside..great old classic rock music, not too loud..perfect. Well, Joe is an amazing server! Let's see how the Ragin' Cajun and Red Dragon wings are!! With a side of onion rings, he did say they're fresh made in house! I would like a bit more sauce, but very tender and great flavor. But heat level is low.. Onion rings....pass...over cooked..no flavor...Joe took them off my bill, I only ate one. Good experience!! read more

First time here. It's a nice place, plenty of tvs too watch the games on. Unfortunately our service was lacking. We were slow to get waited on. Drinks took extremely long to get. Our appetizers came out cold, and all they did was reheat the cheese sticks. I have to say the wings and chicken fingers were good. Order a second drinks and it didn't arrive until I was almost completely done with the wings. We will return and try again, but it won't be in a weekend night. I do recommend the wings. read more

Welcome to Wild Wing Cafe! Service and ambiance was great, and I got six wings with a spicy dry rub called the Boss. The wings were pre-marinated and beautifully cooked, and the rub all over it made me feel like it should be at BBQ places. I also got the Big Fat Fries, which are a little bit like steak fries. They were not half bad, but could have been a little more salted. Overall, though, I could have eaten those wings all day, as evidenced by how cleanly I chowed down on the bones. read more

Bartender Shey was amazing. She went over and beyond I asked her thoughts on a drink where I could put a Porter beer with a shot of ricotta in it and it would be tasting like coconut beer and she went with it even though she didn't really think it would work and served it to me. It was delicious. However it did keel and the drink does not look good, but it was delicious. read more

I've never left a bad review before but here it goes. We waited 20 minutes to place our order after the drinks arrived. The waiter said it was his fourth day so I blew it off and tried to stay positive even though both my daughter and I were starting to get hangry. The wings took quite a bit of time to arrive but that's understandable considering how packed the place was. My daughter ordered a Ham and Cheese sandwich but they brought out chicken skewers. The waiter apologized and reordered her sandwich. When we were just about to wrap up they brought her out a cheese burger. Not once but twice the wrong meal was ordered for my daughter. The food was good, not great but good. If the service wasn't so painfully bad we would go again. The outside back area is cool with a great lake view. The place is perfectly set up for watching a game. Like I said, if the service wasn't so terrible the place would be a go to spot for wings read more

Food is good and their spot is great. You can sit outside and look at Lake Julian. Only complaint is that while the servers are nice, they're always pretty slow. Come with a group to chill and talk outside with some drinks, not if you're in a hurry read more

Wild Wing Cafe - Back patio - Chicken Wings Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Tonight...Our poor server tried so very hard. But this location was understaffed 1000% and after being told they were out of cheese so alas could not make a quesadilla. The server then said he would make it work. We had zero drinks for a half hour. Got delivered the wrong drinks after that. And when everyone else had their food delivered to them I was told mine would be "right out". But alas.. it never was. I left the server a great tip but he should probably look for different employment opportunities as this location is the worst. We will not be back to eat. Ever. Manager should have been notified but the best I could tell the manager did not care at all. After never ever getting my drink my husband went up to tell the bartender and they reluctantly complied. The best thing about this location is leaving. Oh and the fries were stale and awful. My 18 year old who literally eats everything in site left his plate stacked with them. Do yourself a favor. Keep on driving and go to the grocery store. read more

I had to get my wing fix Thursday night so we stopped here. We waited several minutes before hostessed showed up but luckily that was to only lag in service. I was thrilled we stopped in on a trivia night... Love this! It was free an fun they do different topics each week. Our server was super and took good care of us. The wings were good but like another review said they're pretty skimpy on the sauce. We got our favorites on the sampler and only good sauce ones were bbq and polo loco ones. They were all cooked well and crispy. We also got buff chips and fried shrooms. Both were ok lacking salt and shrooms were pretty big size wise not exactly what we expected but ok. read more

Wonderful service and delicious wings. Laura was so attentive and on point. Great experience!

Hello! My wife and I are regular customers of your restaurant & bar and we met one of your newest bartenders, Arica! Arica is a very sweet young woman with a friendly personality and demeanor. Attentive, professional and friendly are three of many polite descriptive words which properly describe her. She is an asset to your restaurant and we hope to soon sit for drinks with this beautiful young woman! Tim "JD" Gerald & Charlotte read more

We have been going here for over z20 years. Tonight we went to celebrate our grandsons 9 th birthday. We had the worst experience ever! We waited over an hour for drinks! We complained several times and were told it was because help add gone back to college. We even had to go to the bar to order our own drinks!!! Do better Wild Wings! So disappointed!! read more

Came here for lunch on Memorial Day Monday. Advised at the door they were understaffed and it would take some time for food. It was almost an hour when the food finally arrived. We were seated outside in the shade. There were also tables in the sunny area overlooking Lake Julien. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was tender and delicious. Could use a little more seasoning. The rest of our group had various chicken wings, tenders, fries and mac& cheese. Overall it was worth the wait. read more

It's just ok, fair, nothing to write home about, just ok. I've had better and I've had worse. Service was in the lacking column, not the bartender/servers fault at all. They were short staffed and kicking, over an hour from order to food delivery. That's a management issue, we could not fault the server, this is a great example of poor management. read more

Not amazing, drinks came out wrong - tortillas chips were stale. Band was wayyy too loud in such a small area. And everything was overpriced. read more

I've been frequenting WWC for years now. The food is pretty consistent, and service varies. My one complaint has been the hostess that usually works when I've come in. She is rude and makes it seem like she'd rather be anywhere else than her job. (I've noted this to management before). Tonight, I was pleasantly surprised to see she wasn't there and two new hosts in her place. Shout out to the management for that change. I didn't catch their names, but it was a curly headed blonde and blonde headed boy. They were running the show. I came in tonight for a class reunion, so I was expecting a slower paced evening. I stuck with my usual 15 piece wings with wild west and red hot and bleu. I ask for them wet as they are usually too dry for my liking otherwise. Our party ordered a variety of entrees and sides, and I didn't hear one complaint. Our servers were back and forth all night and I commend them for putting up with all of us! I did ask one her name as she was particularly helpful (thank you Morgan). It's been a while since I've been in, but now I can't wait to bring my grandsons back to watch some college football on Saturdays. Keep up the good work! No photos this time, as I was enjoying the company and food. read more

We eat here often and the service is hit or miss. They are unfortunately understaffed like many local places. Food and beer are good!

wait staff walked by us several times. no one ever greeted us or got drink order. we try to be patient because I've waited tables before but after 15 min of waiting for a drink order to be taken. most horrible service ever. never been to this location and first impressions matter. I'll never be back. read more

The food is good but its not consistent. I usually order the chicken tenders and sometimes they are amazing and other times they aren't that great at all.. The wings are good but they kind of skimp on the sauce and charge you for additional sauces... Kind of ridiculous for a wing place to charge for sauce when they don't give you enough from the get go... The service is just okay nothing great. Last time I ate here my waiter only checked on the table once within an hour. Over all its a good wing place if you get lucky. read more

This is a really poorly run restaurant. We were told there would be a wait, but we were not asked for name and phone number. After about 15 minutes, I went back to the hostess to ask about a table, and THEN they asked for my name and number. Took a loooong time (30+ minutes) for the food to come out - no checkin by the server, even though our empty glasses from what we ordered at the bar sat conspicuously on the table. Not worth it, in any respect. read more

Went here for late lunch with my grandmother and had a good time. Food was amazing the spices were delectable. Enjoyed the sweet tea and the ginger ale. Fair prices for the food, the drinks were a little higher priced than we would have preferred. Service was amazing our server Joseph took really good care of us and was a pleasure during the visit. The ambiance was very nice it was a tad loud but I expected that to be the case in this restaurant. Definitely worth the trip will be back again soon. Highly recommend this place. read more

Drove 30 minutes to place a to go order at Wild Wing Cafe and was told by the person working the bar that we would be unable to order food to go. The hostess ended up finding another wait staff person to help us and she was great. The food ended up being alright, but our initial service left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

Wild Wing Cafe - Wing bar - Chicken Wings Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

food was pretty good. tender's overcooked but kids agreed to eat them so we didn't ask for new ones. Waiter, Gavin was great, pleasant, answered questions. greeter was a disa pointment... took a while to show up to her post, and then gave us no eye contact , until after she got behind the desk, wrote a few things down, and then said some thing like "yeah?" No smile at any point. She was, however, pleased enough to say goodbye when we left. My family works in hospitality so I do know how difficult it is to get people to show up with a good attitude or even just show up, but this was definitely a Monday night kind of experience. read more

Service is slow! Food is disappointing with small portion, dry wings, nothing fresh, nothing hot. This use to be good but I will never go back after three bad visits. In response to Wild Wings response. We did share our disappointment during our last visit to the restaurant. Nothing was done. No offer to have something else prepared, no offer to comp the bill. Only told "well we hope that you give us another chance and come back again". read more

The worst surface I have gotten since this pandemic come, Went in at 1:05 did not get out till 2:20 PM, it was no one in the place, service was terrible orders were incorrect and not enough staff people to take care of myself and my wife would not go back to this place even if the food was free ordered two hamburgers what rare one medium rare,Both hamburgers came back well done , I would never refer this place to anyone to eat even though they're supposed To serve wings, and a place to take kids. We ordered water to drink and ask if you can see on the pictures we could not get a refill to save our life, The one thing we ordered was mushrooms which are absolutely excellent was the only good thing of the whole order read more

Travis is the BEST! Wild Wing is a staple in our family. We live on the South side of town, so we prefer to visit the Long Shoals location. First of all, the venue is beautiful. In the warmer months, definitely sit on the patio and take in the scenery. It is a bar, so it is noisy! My teenage son loves to go when the buffet is open, and with his appetite (and my husband's) this is the best time to go. Our go-tos are the Dave and Friends dip (yummy), wings (everyone has a favorite flavor--Bubba's BBQ, Ranchilada, Boss, Wild West), and the wraps. The past two times we have been, we have had Travis take care of us, and he is stellar! read more

I wouldn't necessarily come back for the wings, but the outdoor patio + lake view and daily specials are nice, and they have Sierra Nevada Hazy on tap. We stopped by for happy hour, not sure if there was a happy hour but we were happy and we drank for an hour. The special that day was something about a dinner salad. I would go back for that but on this visit we decided to go for the wings. We were told our wait would be about 30 minutes, in total we ended up waiting about 1.5 hours! We grabbed beers from the bar and stood over at the fence with a great view of the beach/lake. Unfortunately they also had a very large party on top of it being "Happy Hour". But it was also Wednesday... I thought most places always had a rush on "Wing Wednesday", so they'd be prepared? You'd think. Any ways, we got shorted and were served a plate of tiny, baby drums. Next time don't assume they are prepared! I'm a simple lady and always go for hot buffalo + extra garlic. WWC does a good job with that. Also got an order of the steel town chips. Get them - Your face hole will be happy. So, so good. When we were done with dinner we moved inside to the bar. It was 10p at this point and there were still people waiting for patio seats so we didn't mind moving in and watching the hockey game there. Great bartender. Friendly conversations with other patrons. Not really social distancing but everyone wore a mask while walking around and they were still cleaning everything in between guest. All of the staff were friendly and working hard to get through the night. REMEMBER TO TIP YOUR SERVER! We saw 2 tables of 5+ leave without tipping... that's just rude and messed up. Our server said it happens way too often. read more

I came back again just to see if thing have changed since my last visit. NOPE. waitress was non existent. The only one who helped was the guy running food. Waited for drinks over 10 minutes before waitress even took our drink order. Wings did come out pretty fast. Waitress only by once to see if we need something. Had to ask for tea young man got it for us. Waitress still not around. She finally brought the check and waited another 15 minutes to give her money to pay the bill. Watched waitress serve other tables and more response people than us. Did we smell for something? Went for son birthday so he got to pick restaurant. Guess I will not be back anytime soon. read more

Consistently inconsistent. The last two experiences have been terrible. They gave the wrong order to Door Dash. Had to then go and pick up the correct order. Last night ordered 3 different flavors of wings. They were all so bland and tasteless you couldn't tell one flavor from the other. Ordered 25 for the family - probably threw away 20 of them. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Just returned from Wild Wing Cafe Arden. They need to drain and rinse dishwasher because the drinks have tons of soapy bubbles. The taste of the food is spectacular, but it must have sat up on the deck too long, because the onion rings were very soggy, not crisp. Waitress brought out snack and didn't refill my drink. Waited awhile and the chicken had a great taste but wasn't crisp though fried. Bun was the best tasting bun I've ever had! The music on porch is twice as loud as it is inside for some reason. I used to like their food but I won't go back. Each and every door and windy was very very dirty. Restroom was clean and smelled good though. But since the fried food was soggy and the drink was soapy and doors filthy I won't go back. ) : read more
