The service is pretty bad. Our server in the span of 1 hour+ visited our table 3 times. Between ordering drinks and ordering food we waited probably 20 mins. Then we waited 30 minutes for the food to come out. When the food arrived it was not hot and was mediocre at best. I asked for honey mustard for my fries and waited another 20 minutes to get that. Probably won't be back. read more

I wish I could give this a higher score but after taking an hour to get our food cooked properly, I can't. When we arrived they were busy but not packed. We were seated upon arriving and after a few moments our server came over. She took our drinks and then our appetizer. It took her a little bit to get back to us but we were checking out the menu so we weren't too bothered. She took our order which was 2 burgers with a side each and a dozen wings with a different sauce on six of them. It took 35 minutes for our order to come out and it was wrong. The burgers were well-well done and we had asked for medium and medium well. The fries and onion rings were cold and limp. Half of the wings were not sauced and the other half barely had any sauce. We alley our waitress know and she sent them back to the kitchen. It took 25 more minutes for our new food but at least is was mostly right. The burgers were still over cooked at medium-well and well. However the taste was great. Our waitress made sure we never had an empty cup and she went out of her way to make it right by giving us a 1/2 off. However that still didn't make up for the hour it took. Notes to point out of you want to give it a try are order your burger one step lower than what you want. Be prepared to wait. It is also important to note it is VERY loud so it can be hard to talk. Update: I reached out via social media and they are supposed to be sending me a gift card to give them another chance. Will update if that happens and the next time is better. read more

Our experience was awesome and Dylan made all the difference! He was kind and attentive and SO friendly!! The food was great and prompt!

The restaurant had good food and decent service for a little while when it first opened. Unfortunately, over the last few years the service isn't very good, the wing buffet is gone, the food has gotten worse, very slow service and the bathrooms are disgusting. Management and staff appear to want to hangout and socialize with one another instead of welcoming customers and providing quality service. Not a very welcoming place. Seems like they've really started going after the nightclub or hangout establishment instead of a good restaurant. I really hope they get management and staff that at least pretend to care. It's a great spot and a cool place. It should be a great place to go. Hope they turn it around and stay in business. We went around 11 a.m. and the restaurant was less than half full when we were there. read more

We visited on December 31, 2021 and Leah was one of the best servers we've ever had. Thanks for the great service, Leah!

The Buffalo chicken sandwich is terrible the chicken is dry. Save your money get a burger. The Chicken is overcooked and it lacks flavor.. Very disappointed, I tried to like it and not complain but just couldn't. read more

Love the boneless chicken feathers. Very good variety of sauces. Service can be a little slow when they are busy. They tend to not have enough servers at their busiest times. Clean restaurant.. read more

Came here for game day. Great service and great food. Layla was great. I had the chargrilled chicken sandwich, and it was wonderful.

My husband and I have had terrible service the last 4 times we've came here. I have sat waiting for over 1.5 hrs waiting for my food while my husband eats his. The wait staff is basically non existent, even at slow times. We sat for over 15 minutes before even being addressed by the waitress. When we've came here to eat in the past it has been really good food and exceptional wait staff. But it has went down hill since the tailend of 2022. Please Do Not waste your time or money here. read more

Our survey Gabby was amazing. The food was great, came out hot and in a timely manor. The margaritas I got were also great. Overall Gabby did an amazing job she was super sweet and professional! read more

The service is always great. But what's going on in the kitchen? Why does it take so long to get our meals?? I can cook 12 wings in my air fryer in 6 minutes. read more

Bartender took quite a while to make the drinks for our table but our server was outstanding! DREW is such an asset to this location, I hope to have her wait on us again! An issue that arose, our elderly uncle was very upset with the restaurant allowing a person posing to have a service dog (that was obviously not an officially trained dog for a handicap, but rather placed in a fake vest.) Dog was standing up on the seats of the booths and moving between areas that weren't cleaned down after the dog had been on the seat table. It was pretty gross, really. If a dog is permitted in a restaurant where people place their food on tables, the animal should remain on the floor, at minimum; It would be a happy medium to keep the eating areas sanitary. read more

Wow! Kat was one of the best servers I've had! She was on point with everything we asked for. Being a former server myself, I'm a bit picky and sometimes even needy. But she was very patient and on top of it!!! She definitely made our first experience here worthy of making another trip back this weekend!! Thank you for your service Kat! Much appreciated!! read more

I came in and got a few sides of sauces because I was craving a little spice in my life today :) I typically love the atmosphere and food at Wild Wings. The wings, buffalo chips, and sliders are highly recommended!! The biggest downfall of this place was always the service for me. Every time I've ever gone the service has been 1 star at best...very inattentive, incorrect orders, taking one hour to receive an appetizer, etc. But tonight I was HIGHLY impressed when I stopped in to pick up a to go order. There was a cute little blonde girl working at the to-go stand, who I think was named Elizabeth. Not only was she outgoing and kind over the phone, she was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a few extra sauces to me. She packed all of the sauces and went out of her way to label every single one. I know it may seem unimportant and small to some, but I felt like she went the extra mile in an attempt to make sure my order was accurate and that means a lot. The small things matter, and I just wanted to make sure she knows her efforts didn't go unnoticed! Thanks so much Elizabeth for going above and beyond at your job and also for being so friendly and helpful. I really appreciate you! read more

Love that we finally got a local WWC!! Be prepared to wait a little bit but it's totally worth it! If you can sit out on the patio, you might not ever leave on a nice cool Tennessee night. I absolutely love the boneless wings and all of the crazy flavors that they come up with, plus the ranch cannot be beat! TVs everywhere so it's a great place to watch the game. Don't forget to order the tater tots too!! read more

See all

Very slow. Mid afternoon with no more than 30 other people and it takes forever. Blondes on the front desk should wear a nametag that might read Airhead or Bimbo. Beer selection is a joke. No craft beers, no Sam Adams, just swill for bubba. From the time we placed the order until the appetiser showed up was 27 minutes. Yep real slow. Portion size is tiny. You will depart hungry. A real waste of time, we wont be back. read more

JT was our server, first time in, and had a rough night at work on a late plumbing call. He set me up with a Eighty Shillings and some damn good wings, and the wife with a dunkel and great appetizers! Cool guy and knows your menu well, he explained everything to us, from flavors to his favorites.We will ask for him next time we plan to come!! Thanks for a first great experience! read more

Came here for my brothers bday. Had really good chicken feathers and veggie skewers. My fiance's boneless Wings were amazing too. Andrew our server was also great. Very attentive and provided excellent service. I recommend this place. read more

We were seated right away and greeted by waitress who got our drinks and our appetizer she took our order but after more than 30 minutes our food still was not out and it wasn't busy the people who got seated behind us after we were there awhile got there food before us and so did another table at this time I see our waitress talking to manager and manager comes to our table and says lack of staff in back so it's taking awhile. It was a good 15 minutes after that before our food came out.... No apologies or anything I was very upset leaving this establishment we use to go to the Farragut one all the time until they changed. read more

Came in on a big football game night and the place was packed! Their service, food and everything was great and super fast. Some of the best fried mushrooms we've had in a very long time and their ranch is homemade which makes any wing place 5 stars in my books. Everything was great, except for the patron that was only tipping 30 cents on his drink orders....don't be that guy, no one likes that guy. Our bartenders worked really hard tonight and gave us super fast service, they for sure earned a good tip from us! read more

Pretty good place for wings. We have tried several places and Wild wing cafe is definitely better

New addition to the N Knox variety of "pub-Esk" places to eat. While I've enjoyed the wings (and food in general) at other WWC's in other city's this one was disappointing. Cold / dry wings served by an apathetic 20somthing. Sad to see all this effort in construction, branding, advertisement, and labor be wasted. Simply tossing cold lifeless,dry wings on a table and waking off does very little for the reputation of WWC ... or your tip. read more

Would be great if someone waited on you. Love the food and band but couldn't get anyone to ackn us on a sat

The wait time at this location for a table is really long. But that isn't as bad as the wait time for the food to get to your table. The waitresses continually state that the kitchen is backed up. The food is good but you do pay a premium for it too. read more

This location is awful. Last visit it took 1.5 hours to get our food after we ordered, with no heads up from the wait staff. Went today to give it another try and we were told the kitchen was on a thirty minute wait, they're not even seating folks. Impressively bad service. A month ago, we were seated right away and the food was delivered quickly and staff was kind. This place has gone waaayyyy downhill. Only half seating as well. read more

Oh my word!! We are in the middle of Big Orange Country, came here to watch the Tennessee/Vandy game, and its 4:13 and still no game on one of the 50 TV's!!! The wait staff acts like we are making a special request...meanwhile there are a dozen TV's with the Minnesota/Wisconsin game on! And when a manager come to our table, she gets very rude with us. It's not like this game was a surprise--they should've known it was time and been prepared. read more

So disappointed with this place! We used to loved going to the one out west and were sad to see it close. This one on Emory has never been our favorite place to go because we've never had good service but hubby was craving their blue cheese dressing so we made the trek with low expectations. Pros: our bartender was super sweet and helpful. She let us sample several beers and was patient while we decided what to drink. Atmosphere has always been great. I love the spacious bar and the patio area. They have plenty of TVs to watch a game. Cons: the food! We ordered 18 wings with 3 different sauces and after waiting longer than normal for our order they were room temp and rubbery. So disappointed because I love their flavor options and have never had an issue with the skin being soggy and rubbery. We left there with hubby saying, find the recipe for that blue cheese and we'll never have to go back. read more

Great place to go for food. The service is awesome everyone there knows the menu and the food. You can't stump them. They are very friendly. The food came out hot fresh and just the way we ordered it. read more

Friday night: Restaurant half full. Wait 25 min for a table. The. Waited another 50 mins on food (mediocre burger and 2 kids meals). Charged more than price was listed for on the menu. Brought up to waitress AND manager. No attempt to resolve. Paid the bill, won't be back. Id recommend to go across the street to Aubreys. read more

So we showed up with a party of 5 on Friday night at 5:35. Initially no one that came in after us had to wait because they were party of four. There were quite a few empty tables, they could have easily pushed together two tables near the bar but instead they put us on a wait list saying it would be 15-20 minutes. They proceeded to seat several party of 4 instead of putting together 2 tables for us. Continuing to wait at the 30 minute mark we went in and questioned them. They said we were next. So after a 50 minute wait and several more small parties getting seated they tried to sit us at a booth with a chair on the end. I told them we could've done that at the beginning as they're were several empty booths and the booth table wasnt going to be able to hold 5 dinners and apps and it was unacceptable. A supposed manager came over and said just give me 5 minutes to clear something. Another 10 minutes later we finally got seated. No apologies, no comp. For anything so I guess this manager thinks that treating people like this is okay in her eyes. Boneless wings are good however when plated they throw all of them together so when you have 3 flavors it's a crap shoot because they don't separate them at all. Bone in wings are very small. Spinach dip is disgusting. Pretzel bites are good but served with mustard instead of cheese sauce. read more

Well, after reading some reviews before we tried WWC yesterday, it appears the negative critiques were accurate. This is a wing place right?? The wings were overcooked, dried out (b/c of it) and small. We ordered 18 -of those 7 were very small and hard as a rock. Does the MNGR even see the food or understand about cooking wings?? No excuse for such bad wings. Yes, the service left much to be desired as well. Plus, the bartender (outside) was busier on his phone. I ordered a double Seagrams-7 n coke in a tall glass--sure didn't taste like a double. Halfway through I went to the bar to inquire that the order was correct--he said it was. Hmmm, He gave a topper though--had to peel him away from his phone again. I can tolerate not great service if the food is great---but NO. Won't be back. read more

Being from buffalo, NY I am very picky about wings and just had not found a good wing until I went to wild wing cafe! I always ask for them extra crispy and they are the best wing I have had in Tennessee! A very good variety of flavors! Good ranch and blue cheese. Appetizers are really good as well! Only downfall is the wait times can be crazy, but that comes with any good restaurant! read more

Went here on a whim after hiking. Wasn't busy at all, spent the evening waiting for over two hours for food, 40 minutes for beers. Multiple takeout orders went out while we were there and couples that came in after us got food/drinks in no time. Server was nowhere to be found half the time, finally got the hostess to get the manager for us. Spoke to manager and left before getting our food. She was understanding and comped the drinks we did have while waiting. Will never be coming to this location again!! Save your time & money. read more

I understand that COVID-19 has changed restaurant going right now, but we were sat down and ignored for about 20 minutes. The hostess said our waiter would be "Max," but he literally never came by to even get our drink order. Completely unprofessional. read more

Got takeout from here and the food was so bad. The wings had no flavor and the pretzel bites were rock hard. The best part was the spuds but overall couldn't even eat much. Staff was nice and food was ready fast. read more

Come here regularly, at past few times we had to wait 45 minutes to sit outside on the deck, or like today 20 minutes because only one server is out there. Very few people inside, business has gone downhill. Maybe they can't get people to work, but we haven't had problems elsewhere. Not very happy. read more

We came as a party of 4 at 4:00, waited 45 minutes for food. More staff around the dining room than patrons. Food was good, not outstanding. Disappointed. read more

We went to Wild Wing with a party of 6 on opening weekend. I expected a huge wait and was pleasantly surprised. They estimated a 60-75 minute wait, but we were in our seats and had our food in a little over an hour. The food was wonderful, service was fast and friendly and food was very reasonably priced. We had a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend! read more

Me and my girl friends stopped for dinner and had the best serviced by Olivia allen. She was so sweet and friendly and was always checking on us making sure we were good. Absolutely loved having her as our server. 10/10 recommend her read more

So we have loved the place until recently. I know everyone is understaffed but the wait time for food when the restaurant is not busy is not acceptable. We are talking up to 2 hours wait for food. Always have a wait to be seated when the place is nearly empty. Our last visit- after an hour waiting - we were informed our order was never put in and the wait do our food would be a bit longer since the order was entered after an hour waiting for it. The appetizer came after about 10 min from the original order. Rarely offered refills. Last visit was just that. read more
