Wing House has the problem faced by wing places with too many flavours: unhelpful names & no…read moredescriptions (not even on the website). Even the staff aren't up to speed - the manager had to check with the kitchen for a few I inquired about & the first staff member I talked to hadn't even tried any of their wings (!) They have deals from Sunday to Thursday. Monday is the best day if you only want wings - $8.85/lb. They got new management as of late May (maybe that's why "Wow!" has been dropped from the name) so the old reviews are probably no longer relevant. Got a pound of Texas Hot: hot with taco seasoning & ranch. They were crispy enough though not very crispy. The flavour was sour & spicy: the spiciness was on the edge of being intolerable (certainly not what I'd expect for only 2 chilis) & quite sour. The flavour was decent but the hot taste predominated - I couldn't taste the taco seasoning & couldn't really taste the ranch: it just registered as a vaguely creamy sauce (when I had it on its own I could just about taste it & recognise it as ranch, though my palate was quite shot out by the spiciness).

Loved the Hot Honey. Also had the Spicy Garlic Parmesan but it wasn't for my palette... it was OK but I have a bias... next time we'll try it the messy chicken (it what they are known for) and Bang bang. It's a focused menu but they do the settings well... nice and crispy on the outside... not quite as crispy as Korean wings level but good. And they we ready pretty quickly (less than 10mins)... don't thing they are freshly fried as it wasn't that hot so guessing refried or reheated in an oven. Can't see the kitchen so not sure.

Monday mania - ribs, wings, fries & salad - was great value. The Ribs were big. While not very…read moresaucy, they were tasty with a nice smoky flavour. The wings were big. Honey mustard was good: not very sweet, with a good balance with the mustard. Chicago roadhouse (salsa-like) was slightly spicy. Fries were good; dusted for texture. Caesar salad was decent: it had a light flavour & was fresh with a nice peppery edge. Earlier, Mini combo: wings had a great smoked taste & the ribs were great too. The fries were very crispy and had a good bite - they were a huge portion. Cornbread was cold and a bit dry. Coleslaw was OK & the beans were not bad.

Perfect location to grab food after walking the trails nearby! Service was fast and friendly…read more There's a few tables, but quite bare-bones in terms of set up. Looked like people were mostly getting takeout. My friend got the brisket and I got the wings. I was kind of surprised by their brisket as it came all pulled, rather than as slices. Not what I'd expect at a bbq place. It was hard to tell if the meat was well made as everything was drowned in sauce. It was tender though. The wings were a little overdone, and the bone-in ones only had the option of bbq sauce. I'd have loved some dry rub choices too. Tasty but nothing special. Overall, it's an okay lunch option for the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get bbq from here.

I was particularly not pleased about having to wait 20 minutes for a small order of wings. Wings were just OK which is why they got 2 stars today.

Maybe give it 2 mins before even trying to avoid burning your mouth. I would vote the waffle fries are better than crinkle cut. Totally personal preference. Service was great from the staff. The place doesn't look amazing. More like food court quality but it's fast food fried chicken. If u like that sorta thing give them a try.

Stopping by for dinner, I chose the brisket with slaw and beans. The brisket had enough fat to keep it moist, and the flavours were good. The beans and slaw were right down the middle of the road, in keeping with many other BBQ joints across the continent. But the other items on the menu are intriguing. I just know that I will be back several times to explore the spectrum. The place is small: max 5 booths and I don't see how they could add any more tables. Get there early if you want to sit down, or keep them at the top of your list for take out.

Horn Dawgs does a brisk take out business, and I can understand why…read more We ordered the Puppy Dawg Meal and got an amazing quantity of food. Jenna, who took my order, was friendly and professional, efficient, but willing to give her time and opinion to help me decide on the order. Now that's good service. This was my first time here, and it is great to have some quality BBQ so close by in Pickering. Main event: The Ribs. These ribs are amazing. I had them sauced with the terrific house sauce (sauce so good that I bought a jarful - Jenna told me that they just made it this morning!). The ribs are tender, but have a nice tug and chew so that you know it's meat (as opposed to the fall-off-the-bone, melt in your mouth kind that make you feel like you are eating stewed meat - kind of like what happens when I make ribs for my family). The sauce complimented the meat well, enhancing the flavour while allowing the porky rib quality to shine through. I can't say enough about them. The chicken was as close to perfect as I have had. On its own, some might call it under spiced, but you can add that yourself. Personally, I like it just as Horn Dawgs makes it: a simple, very crispy, savoury coating with moist chicken inside. The white meat was really juicy and tasty! Pulled pork was great. Some nice, crispy, lightly charred bits to give some contrast to the moist pork meat. We have quite a bit left over, because everyone was all over the ribs and the chicken. My advice about the pork: ask for your sauces (of course I recommend the house sauce) on the side, so that, if you have left-overs, the sauce doesn't make them soggy. Just sauce each portion to your preference, just after preparing the portion. Our sides also lived up to the expectations set by the mains; smooth, creamy mashed potato, sweet and savoury cornbread; really stand-out baked beans, with a sweet but smoky flavour; fries that actually tasted like potatoes! To top it off, excellent service, easy parking and (for me) a convenient location. It is somewhat hidden behind a Thai food restaurant. It is just east of the Pickering Go station. Great Service and great food! If you are in the Pickering area and craving some BBQ, skip the big chain restaurants (abundant in Pickering) and head on over to Horn Dawgs! Support a local business and have some top notch food all at the same time! Righteous, and tasty! All they need to do is adopt a pup, feature his story, and then, Romeo, I will be your Juliet! P.S. A week or two later, I made some ribs myself and sauced them with the jar of sauce that i bought at Horn Dawgs. Perfect! I can see why this sauce has won awards.

This place was on my radar in my quest for good poutine that is locally available. After checking…read moreseveral reviews online, I decided to check this place out. (Take out) Impressions: all the positive reviews may be about the volume and price than delicacy. We ordered: # Crispy buffalo chicken sandwich (side: onion rings) $13: The chicken was supposed to be crispy, but it was not. Yes, it was take-out so that may be the factor. However, the chicken was drenched with sauce... the focus was volume (with onion rings) and sauce, rather than the texture. # Single dawg (Side: beans) $26.50: Came with 1/4 pound Beef Brisket and 1/4 pound pulled pork, drizzled with HD bbq sauce. And 3 bone St. Louis Ribs. Again, huge volume for the price. Abundant French fries. But the brisket texture was mediocre. Pulled pork was tender, but beef brisket and ribs were crunchy at the edges and inside was a bit dry. It came with 2 slider buns, regular small buns which were grocery store level. # Poutine (large, $9): Huge, but nothing special otherwise. The gravy did not taste natural, but good enough. As good as fast food chain. The fries are homestyle. I did not try their wings which are their most popular items with variety of flavors. May be I want to try them. Who does not like wing deals on a lazy relaxing Friday night!?
