OH MY GAWD I LOVE IT! Beer and wings would be a great idea for any restaurant but beer, wings, games and geekiness - um yes! Awesome decor all around the place from the different tables and awesome wallpaper all over to the board games and games downstairs. Great vibe and super cool staff - really helpful and chatty and good advice on what wings to get! I'm a big wing person in general and so is my sister so I was waiting to go with her but circumstances got me there early and boy am I sold. Definitely worth the wait and definitely somewhere to go. Hidden away a little right now under construction but the wings are so worth it. I've tried a couple of different ones and they're all great: crisp and spicey and delicious! PS if you're a veggie they have friend cheese and if you don't like bones they have nuggets - I mean COME ON! Awesome stuff 6* if I could!! read more

Wings Edinburgh - Jamaican me hungry! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I *really* like wings. The problem is, most of the time you get wings and they're boiled or something and the fat is all blobby and gross and you've got to pick through to get to the meat and it's often a mediocre experience. And then Wings came along. It's been on my radar to try for a while but when I got a free bowl status I knew it had to get to the top of the list quickly. I roped in a fellow wing-lover and we hunted out the random spot off the Mile and discovered the, larger than I expected it would be, home of wings. The venue itself isn't much to write home about. It's a bit chilly, a bit damp, and not as nice as the pictures of their original location suggest. If they are allowed, I would suggest going for red walls like in the original location. But, the staff are nice and welcoming, the beers are £2.50, and the wings are good. The wings are actually really *really* good. They're crispy. I have never before had wings with such tasty crispy skin that just begs eating. We shared three bowls of wings (something sweet and spicy, the Canadian BBQ, and the garlic parmesan) and some chips, and when it all arrived I said I wished we had ordered more. By the end, though, we were amazingly stuffed. If we hadn't had a free bowl, 18 wings, chips and 2 beers would have cost us £17.50. Under a tenner each for dinner and a drink is pretty good these days. So, I now join the leagues of wing-loving fans and am planning my return trip. read more

I always loved the place so much and even after their premise move from one part of the Royal Mile to another I was still a BIG FAN. Don't take me wrong. I am still a fan of their impressive selection of old and new sauces, but I was a bit let down last time by the size of and meat on their wings. Apparently they had to change the chicken wings supplier.......Still, can't wait to visit again! read more

It's the age-old problem: new girl joins Yelp, writes a few enthusiastic reviews, then disappears off the face of the internet. The reason why I've been MIA lately is because I haven't been going out anywhere except one specific place, and that place is Wings Edinburgh. I was initially reluctant about writing this review because the place is seriously a hidden gem, but after three weekends in a row (told you I literally haven't been going anywhere else) I talked about it with the server and she was extremely happy for me to do so. And Wings Edinburgh is worth the advertisement. First, how it all happened. See, my husband and I had heard about such a place from some mates but had never sought it out. Then, one rugby day after one-too-many pints we decided to take an adventure and find it. So we dragged ourselves up the hill on Victoria St. and suddenly found ourselves in front of a tiny sandwich board that just said 'Wings'. Walk down the dark alley that when slightly intoxicated seems like a trip to Narnia (stone cold sober it feels like the middle of a slasher movie) and you'll find yourself in front of a blue door. Enter and get ready to eat. The premise is extremely simple. The menu is wings, only wings, and you can choose between two dozen flavours/dry rubs/sauces. Each bowl comes with 6 wings in the sauce/rub of your choice, you chow down and put the bones in a bucket on the table. That's it, pure and simple. My favourites? No Big Dill (Caesar dressing and dill) and the Smoked Emperor (a delicious bbq sauce). The Tiger Wings are fantastic as well. They've got both sweet and spicy options, and you can mix-and-match whatever flavours you desire. As for drinks, again simple. There's about 6 different options for bottled beer, no draft. The cheapest is Corona for 2.50. They also do water and milk for the really spicy sauces. As for prices, a bowl of six wings is 3 each, but on Sundays get ready: 10 for all you can eat! All the wings your heart desires for 10 pounds. Big plays. Feel like a challenge? They have a Wall of Flame. Eat 6 wings covered in the suicide sauce and get your picture on the wall. I had a tiny taste of the sauce and almost died. 65 people have tried the challenge and only 11 people have succeeded. So good luck with that. Also, starting next weekend they're starting a count of their most wing eating customers. Wings Edinburgh is, at the moment, only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and you have to check the facebook page to see what time they open (two weekends ago they opened at 4, last Sunday it was 2 [seriously, wasn't joking when I said this is the only place I've been in three weeks]). And I'm also not joking when I say the place is as simple as it gets. The wings come in a paper bowl, there's no cutlery, and the only two people that work there are the server and the cook. If you want a fancy dinner out on the town, this is not your place. Going on a first date? You'll have sauce all over your face, maybe not the best (or maybe it is, if so keep that person around they're awesome). They only serve wings- no burgers, no chips, no salad, just wings. But if that's what you're after, this is the place. And it's seriously worth it. If you go look for me, I'll probably be there since I can't keep away. This is seriously one of those hidden gems that makes Edinburgh such a fantastic city. Next weekend head over to Victoria St. and be on the lookout for a tiny sandwich board, you won't be disappointed.

Check out all the top scores for this new pop-up joint and instant Edinburgh institution. Yelp don't lie! This place has exploded onto the scene, and with good reason. They've rented the downstairs part of Mariachi's (which explains the alleyway entrance), so it's actually a lot nicer inside than we were expecting from a back alley pop up. I love a place that does one thing and does it well. Places like Oink doing hog roast, Los Cardos doing burritos and now Wings doing . . . wings! Cheap and cheerful, £3 per bowl of 6 wings. £2.50 a bottle of beer. They no longer do all you can eat on Sundays but the price is reduced to £2.50 per bowl. With about 30 flavours to choose from, you can jump right in and gorge yourself on anything that takes your fancy. It's quite nice inside, but still fairly basic. Large wooden tables and metal buckets for your bones and napkins. Very friendly and attentive service means you can order as you go without having to wait around. Really just an excellent concept that provides something you can't get anywhere else in town. Although I do wonder whether the wings craze will spread. Go there now. Run, don't walk. The way their fame is spreading means that before long it'll be standing room only. ***Word of warning: they're only open Fri-Sun and they don't open till the afternoon. 4pm Fridays and 2pm Saturdays and Sundays. We initially turned up for lunch and were wandering up and down every alley off Victoria St until we asked someone and learned the opening time. read more

My friends and I go to Wings a lot. Like, I'm at least 42% chicken wing now. The wings (and now nuggets for bone hating people) are £3.50 a pop, and there's tonnes of flavours to choose from. Dry rub, spicy, BBQ - all with punny names. On top of this, the chips are great, there's now beer on tap, and the milkshakes are the best thing ever. That's not hyperbole. Best. Thing. Ever. There's geek paraphernalia everywhere, and really cool art adorning the walls. Watch out for the Weeping Angel by the ladies loo! Plus, if you're not too full after wing goodness you can usually get some of the yummy stuff that Tasty Buns Bakery delivers. All in all, the staff are friendly, the food is great, and you can shoot your friends with Nerf guns. GO TO WINGS. read more

What I'm about to say is controversial. - I've never been a huge fan of wings. I've never really enjoyed the process of eating them; working your way around the bones to get to the meat wasn't something I warmed to. And, to me, they tend to be a bit samey; always with a barbecue flavour. Wings changed that. The Gene Parmesan was a juicy hot mess of parmesan and caesar sauce. SO, SO good. The sauces here are outer-worldy. Usually I have a favourite and I stick to it, but there's so much variety at Wings that I want to try them all. The interior of Wings is super cool. It's comic book inspired; zany and bright with something to see at every corner. - The attention to detail is clear. The Wings experience is fun and memorable. And I look forward to working my way through every single one of the sauces! read more

Chicken, hot sauce, beer, sun trap, amazing staff, cheapest drink is irn bru. Please go to this place, it is the best. Don't miss out like me, having spent two years in Edinburgh with this amazing place round the corner from me = two years less of this chicken inside of my belly making it happy. Poor poor stomach, now it knows what it was missing. read more

Dear Wings guys, I visited your fine dining establishment for the first time ever today, and was pleasantly surprised by the vibe of the place, as well as the minimal-ey kick-arse decoration. You helped me to my table, and came by and explained how Wings works. Under the sleepless gaze of the Wolverine, I promptly ordered the Taps-Aff chicken wings (house hot sauce) and tortilla strips, while my dining partner went for the sweet chili wings. Minutes later, you came back with our food. Wings and strips alike were served in single use plastic dishes, and we were instructed that we should throw the bones in the bucket on the table. We began eating. I bit on a tortilla chip, and it was as oily and flavoursome as they come. My 'Taps-Aff' wings were just the right amount of crunchy and hot, and had me crying like I was watching the final scene from 'Big Fish'. Needless to say there were no left-overs. I threw the last chicken wing bone in the bucket thinking that if I didn't have to go back to work, I would have gone for at least two more dozen wings dipped in all kinds of exotic sauces. I've had chicken wings a million times, and there's only so much one can do with chicken wings. Yet you entertained me, you fed me well, your posters are awesome, your toilets are clean, and you make your own tortilla chips. 5 stars was the least I could give you. Yours faithfully, Nik read more

I had heard a lot of rave reviews for Wings, so when Tanja R. suggested to try out this place I thought this is a great opportunity to see for myself.. Wings is located off Victoria Street, you walk down an alley and then end up at this very underground looking place where I wouldn't perhaps normally venture to. Wings is a very casual place, and that's what I liked about it. The people who work there are really friendly - it's like a bunch of guys operating this 'wing joint' in between playing video games :) It had a very informal feel to it. A bowl of 6 chicken wings was only £2.50 (April promotion), and so was a bottle of Sol so all in all quite good value. There were lots of sauces to choose from. I went for the Pineapple and jerk marinade (dry rub) and Caesar dill sauce. I only give this visit 3 stars because I didn't enjoy the wings as much as I thought I would - I found the pineapple jerk marinade okish but quite salty, and the wings themselves could have perhaps been a bit juicier. However, I intend to return and try some of the other marinades next time and I'm sure I can bump up my rating to a fine four stars :) read more

Finally got around to visiting Wings Edinburgh for the first time after planning a visit for months! I'm worse than Hamlet when it comes to procrastination. However, something certainly isn't rotten in the state of Wings. This is a great little joint, hidden away between the Royal Mile and the Cowgate. The concept is simple- wings come in bowls of 6, and you have a MASSIVE selection of sauces to choose from, everything from the wonderfully named "Nae Nonsense" BBQ to some extremely hot sauces. I'm not one for spice, but if you are, try the Wall of Flame Suicide Challenge. From speaking to people who have tried it, it sounds pretty intense, but the chance to get yourself up on the wall might make it totally worth it! Apart from wings, the food menu is sparse- some little nibbles like chips etc, but what do you expect? If you come here, you want wings, and lots of them. And the wings are good. They also have a nice selection of beers at reasonable prices, and, best of all, RETRO VIDEO GAMES. Nintendo 64, Gamecube etc. When I was there, they also had Pirates of the Caribbean playing loudly on the big screen, so all of the stories told at my table sounded great when combined with the dramatic music. read more

Wings, Wings, Wings. It's all about the Wings and the multiple sauces. Chicken wings and marshmallows? Done. Spicy wings, plain wings, its all wings here. I first came with a group of Yelpers. I have to confess to not being a meat on the bone kinda gal. All those greasy fingers and stringy bits always puts me off, but not here. The wings have lots of meat on them and I'm usually reaching full after around 2 bowls of wings (12 wings). At £3.50 a bowl and drinks reasonably priced - 500ml Koppaberg is £3 then this is a bargain place for the budget conscious. It was a pop up - now closed till permanent residence is found so its basic but clean. Shared tables and buckets for the bones, service is fast, efficient and friendly. I came here again on Friday night with what I reckon must have been Wings' youngest ever diner - my one year old niece and they were able to get a decent highchair for her after it was requested so well done guys! Yes, there are those who will attempt (Rayan) and survive the suicide challenge (Mason and my brother) and a brave and successful challenger for the Armageddon challenge so whoops and cheers are common, which adds to the friendly, buzzy atmosphere. So Wing's, I am missing you, but I'm sure those facebook alerts will tell me where to find you next... read more

Perfectly priced with a wondrously varied selection of wings. You don't get sides here just more wings. And then some more. I came here with a group of 14 for the quiz which was compiled by a funny, gruff and sarcastic scot. The atmosphere was fun and friendly, with the comic book decor adding a bit of geeky coolness. Great for groups, maybe not a first date place. The two varieties I had tonight were whiskey pepper and maple BBQ with bits of bacon. Oh and if you like to go for the ultimate challenge in spice then the suicide challenge is for you. 6 wings, a list of undisclosed ingredients and your face on the wall if you survive....I mean complete it. (My friend are two, he said he could have eaten three but his insides were melting) read more

Wings Edinburgh - First round of wings!!! :D - Chicken Wings Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Cheep and cheerful. Wings with canadian mix-up sauce are brilliant if you like sweet.

I was a bit skeptical about wings, given I don't enjoy chicken wings. (In fact, general rule about not enjoying food you eat with your fingers). But was coming along to my first yelp event so decided just to go with it. The menu is huge, so many sauces to try, and I was pleased to see that they weren't all spicy either! I was able to get sides instead of wings, so chicken nuggets with the sauce on instead. I had the maple bbq nuggets and they were lovely. I also had the cheese changa, described as a tortilla filled with cheese, and oh my, it was massive! So much warm gooey cheese that I had to admit defeat. Wings, you won me over. Don't imagine it'll become a regular haunt for me, but if someone suggests it, I'll certainly not turn it down! read more

Every flavor of wings I tried was delicious and as an LA native we have no shortage of epic wing places. My entire stay in Edinburgh was fantastic but this place was certainly a highlight. Ran into some fantastic people and had a few to many pints. Can't wait to go back. read more

Can't say enough about how awesome this place is! I came upon this place while searching for cool places to eat in Edinburgh and I'm so glad I did. Prices were extremely affordable for food and drink. The atmosphere was amazing, with a very young crowd where we were sitting, a projector tv playing music videos and a classic sega console at our table. I attempted the suicide wing challenge and they were by far the hottest thing I've ever attempted to eat. I managed to eat three haha The other wings we ordered were super crispy and had a ton of sauce on them. They were perfect in my opinion and wish that more places in America prepared their wings this well. If you're looking for a cheap place to get some food, drinks and have a great time be sure to stop by while you're in Edinburgh! read more

I'm not even going to get into my craving for fried chicken which is in a very sad state here in the Burgh' but Wings have filled a small crevice in that hole! They have however, filled in a totally different area of American nostalgia done correct! Crunchy morsels lathered in tantalizing dips. Our waiter was from Texas (total perfection) we understood each other perfectly. When we asked for ranch he listed off about 5 different ranch flavored dips. AMAZING. So between the 2 of us we had 3 baskets of wings, one spicy, one bbq and one of course, ranchy. We also shared a basket of chips and I ordered the deep fried cheesy tortilla thing, which I asked to be made into a flauta. Didn't quite work but was good nonetheless. This place is every stoner and chicken lovers' dream come true. read more

I didn't have any high expectations for this place. I've been told it does chicken wings in various amounts of different sauces. It was good that I didn't have any expectations either. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken wings! It's simple. It's basic. It's good value. For my wings I choose "sad day" - blue cheese and the "new worldler" - maple syrup and bacon bits BBQ sauce. I share some chips too - these are pretty good for cleaning out the sauce that you don't catch with the wings. As I'm not big on beer (I just haven't yet met my match) I choose a magners cider. You get six wings in each portion of sauce. It's fills you up and leaves you feeling all warm inside. Great value = £25 for 2 alcoholic drinks, four portions of wings and a portion of chips for two people. read more

This is like a little, chilled-out den or living room, and the menu selection is a great adventure with so many great choices! After going to nearby Bow Bar tonight, Mason R. and I wanted a little snack... After reading some great reviews on Yelp for Wings Edinburgh, we saw it and decided to explore it. We saw the sign luring us in near Mariachi the Mexican restaurant, leading us down to their side courtyard and into a black door labeled 'wings!' Ever intrigued, we kept going into this 'secret' wing den. We were warmly greeted by one of the co-owners and she kindly explained every sauce on the menu for us, and helped me choose the sweet and unique-sounding Sweet Vanilla sauce for my wings, whilst Mason chose the Hot Oriental sauce. The guys at a nearby table were at the end of completing the spicy wing challenge (and succeeded!) and the place was great and chilled out with playing Nintendo 64 as entertainment. When our wings came, Mason was thrilled with his savoury chicken wings and I loved my sweet, sugary vanilla ones! It was a great value for just £3 for a bowl of six wings, and it felt like a little home away from home. On Sundays they even have all-you-can-eat wings for only £10! The place is only open from Friday to Sunday, and the people here really are passionate about wings and really cool innovative sauces. That's what they do and they are great at it! In the summer, it would be amazing to sit out in their courtyard and relax with wings and the £2.50 Coronas. We will definitely be back... And Mason will conquer that spicy wing challenge while I sit back and enjoy my sweet wings. read more

Finally had to try Wings after hearing about it for a while now on Yelp. Am a pretty picky American wing eater, but this place is one of the best I have had in Europe. Wings (and little drumsticks) were pretty juicy and meaty. No weird fatty clumps. The menu is pretty simple. Just wings, fries and tortilla chips. Lots of wing sauce options, from dry rubs to sweet, fresh and super hot. Was not a huge fan of the dry rub. The spices didnt really stick to the wings on mine and didnt have a whole lot of flavor. Just a bit TOO dry. The wet sauces were nice. The Imperial Tiger sauce is amazing and you will want to bathe in it. After two bowls and a side of fries I was stuffed, though I wanted to try all the sauces. Atmosphere is relaxed and casual. You dont come here for a nice dinner. It is like your Mom's basement, decorated with Star Wars posters and video game stickers. Anyway, at 3.50 per bowl of wings you cant really beat the price, and with the selection of different sauces there is something for everyone. read more

We've been back to Wings twice since my last review and we still think it's great. Most recently we took 4 friends (including a couple who live directly above it but had never been, madness) who all loved it too, though they could only manage a paltry 2 bowls each - my best so far is 5 bowls (30 wings), nowhere near the restaurant record though. The service is still good, the staff are all funny and casual, and the 'cook' as their Facebook calls him frequently comes out to chat when the kitchen's quieter. The £2.50 a bowl deal in April was brilliant too, but sadly it's May now and prices are back to £3. I think between us we've tried most of the menu too (Gene Parmesan, mmmm, with a bonus Arrested Development reference). Why have I given it 4 stars this time though? Well, as another review pointed out sometimes the wings are overdone, and I really wish the flames rating was a bit more honest - or at least that 1 flame really was more like 1 flame, as the jump from none to 1 is too much. And sadly I tried one sauce I really didn't like. I love blue cheese so finding out that they had added some blue cheese sauce options was very welcome news - until I tried one. Sad Cheese. It was sad. It didn't taste like blue cheese at all and just wasn't nice - though I still ate the whole bowl. We do still really like Wings though, and one bad sauce isn't enough to put me off when there are dozens more to choose from. read more

Once again a faultless visit to this quirky but awesome joint. Always my first choice for friends and family visiting Edinburgh. Took my brother and sister here today before the rugby, we got a wide selection of wings and highlights were 'Dancing in the blue flame', 'Disco Wingferno' and 'Tiger sauce'. Served with a refreshing beer and Star Wars memorabilia surrounding you, what could be better?! read more

What a fantastic place! What we loved about this place was the fair price of the food, the quality of the wings, and the amount of sauce they have you. Certain sauces (blue cheese and buffalo) need to be mixed a little more so you really get them both at the same time. But otherwise we went here two nights in a row! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for ages! Were in the old town and fancied some food but it was was during the Fringe so everywhere was packed. I thought wings might be quiet as it is tucked away down a little side street off the Royal Mile. It was full inside but the staff were very accommodating and made room for us outside. Overwhelmed by the amount of flavours we eventually picked some and shared them between us. I only wish I could have tried them all! The wings were delicious and the sides were great too! Would highly recommend and will be returning! read more

I've been here twice now and I really do like the vibe of this place. I love the retro feel and the attentiveness of the staff. However, being a chicken wing enthusiast, I do have some quibbles. First of all, it's glaringly obvious that the wings aren't cooked to order. They leave the kitchen moderately warm and cool off very quickly. If you have a glance into the kitchen on the way in or out, you'll usually notice a large mound of pre-fried wings ready to be sauced. Given the amount of seating this place has, there's no excuse to not cook the wings to order. Secondly, the wings are over-sauced. Too much sauce reduces the crispiness of the wings and cools them down considerably. It's also disheartening to see so much sauce left once you're done. Lastly, it does seem as if though the staff doesn't know how to handle the restaurant when it's busy. My wife and I showed up around 7 PM and were sat at a table for eight people on the condition that we be done within an hour. This wasn't an issue, but there were several people who came in after us who were told that they only had 45 or 30 minutes to eat and leave. Given how quickly the food is served here, this usually isn't a problem. Still, a night going out to eat shouldn't have a time limit. I spent years living in Edinburgh wishing that there was a place like this. Now that it's finally opened, I just wish it could make some basic changes. If it did, it could be one of the best places in town. For now, though, make a reservation, request your wings cooked fresh, request half the sauce, and make sure you can be there as long as you want. Now you're on to something. read more

OK, I've been 3 times now and it's been a 5 star experience each time. It's a good ethos - do 1 thing and do it well, and I can attest that they do it well. The wings are perfectly cooked - hot and crispy - and those sauces are stunning. I've never had the same sauce twice, and I always think that I've had the best one yet until I try another one. Top tip - go with friends and share so that you get to try more flavours. Oh, and for the vegetarians, then Cheesy Changa is lovely. Don't forget to get some tortilla strips - try those with a blue cheese + hot sauce combo. read more

Great outside! Looks small and cluttered but it makes up with the delicious wings. Mardi Gras Madness was delicious!! Lemon pepper- not. Great music!! read more

Wings Edinburgh - Down a hill and in the alley we go. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

No other word to add to the title of WINGS other than beer. Exactly what it says on the tin chaps and chapettes. Wings, wings and more wings. A mahousive range of flavours to cater for every taste bud. If you're veggie...well maybe avoid places called Wings ;) The options for you are very limited, although the fries are tastilicious! It's not posh (it doesn't pretend to be nor should it) but more studenty. Don't let that put you off, the food is good and the beers local (how it should be). We'll be back (said in Arnie accent) read more

The epitome of cheap & cheerful, in a city where many new places are currently aiming for the same, particularly when it comes to avoiding crockery. Chock full of pop culture decoration this is no frills of the clean and tidy variety, with pleasant & swift service & prices to match, given that the wings I expect are always practically ready & just need your choice of sauce poured on in their paper bowl. A decent range of beers and spirits are on hand to compliment your choices from the extensive range of those sauces and generally the pricing of those is keen too. Definitely somewhere fun to head to if you're after something hot and quick but also a seat & as 3 on the scale of sauce heat wasn't anywhere near as hot as expected I need to return to progress up the levels. read more

I'm a big fan of places that choose to do one thing and do that one thing well. Wings is indeed a great idea but that doesn't mean there's not room for improvement. My main criticism would be of the "dry rub" wings. I'd always though a rub was applied to raw chicken so that the flavours permeate the meat as it cooks. This dry rub appears to be applied to the chicken wing after it was cooked delivery a flavour of raw spices. Personally I would't order any of these options again. All other portions I tried were enjoyable but there is a sense that the wings are pre-cooked, reheated and then have a pre-prepared sauce applied. I'd really prefer to see everything made fresh to order and would happily wait a little longer for my food to arrive. On the whole I enjoyed the experience and will most likely return at some point in the future. read more

This place is SO GOOD. So many options for sauces/dry rubs that will satisfy all chicken lovers. They have a great range of spice levels and they even offer a "suicide challenge" for those who dare. My personal favourite was the parmesan garlic sauce which was so delicious. Additionally, the staff were really lovely and gave us some good tips about what to do while in Edinburgh AND they let us play with the impressive selection of nerf guns in the shop. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because at £3.50 per bowl it is easy to get carried away and spend lots of money. The wings (although delicious) don't really fill you with one..or even two bowls. I left spending a lot more than my meagre Edinburgh budget allowed. read more

After a long day, we wanted a cheap meal, and this place stood out. We LOVED the nerd theme and had fun identifying the fandoms that each sauce was named for. I wish I could come back here once a week - there were so many crazy sauce options, I could have tried them all! We each got a drink and some wings and I think our meal ended up being less than $20 US, which is incredible. Definitely a great place to check out if you're looking for a cheap, tasty meal, and don't mind eating American style wings in Scotland :) read more

Wings or nuggets ! Excellent place to eat chicken! Spice levels are serious but plenty of options for those wanting mild/no spice. Beer, fries, salad sides. Good for kids and families or the solo. read more

This was one of my friend's favorite places to chill and have a bite, and I now know why. They have a large assortment of wings and flavors, kind of like a local underground Buffalo Wild Wings. We sat down in the basement as it seemed.The lighting was a bit dark and different from what I am used to, but I liked it. We socialized and ordered some beer. The atmosphere was lively and entertaining as it seemed like a younger and lively crowd that was drawn here. We each ordered three types of wings and shared with each other what we thought sounded good. I ordered the Canadian Reserve, Scottish Pepper, and the Tie Fighter. The Canadian Reserve was almost a little too sweet for my taste, but the Scottish Pepper and the Tie Fighter were amazing. One of my favorite things about this place was the themed tables. We sat at the Where Waldo/Wally table. The table cloth was a bunch of where Waldo pictures that keep you entertained sober or not! I will be back here for sure! read more

Went to Wings last night with my friend with good expectations after seeing the reviews on yelp. Staff was so so but the atmosphere is really awesome for all the nerdy stuff. Got the salt pepper and lemon dry thinking it would taste more like Wing Stop's back in the US, but it had pretty much no flavor and the chicken was dry. When we left, I wasn't feeling too good. After I got back to my hotel, maybe an hour and a half after eating, I threw up. And I've been throwing up all night because I'm pretty sure it's food poisoning from Wings. My friend is starting to throw up this morning, and that is the only similar thing we ate yesterday. I'm going to guess they either used old meat or didn't handle the chicken hygienically. I don't know how this place has a good rating because their wings really are nothing special, and we got sick. read more

This place is incredible! First time visitors from the US, And we ended up going to Wings twice. First time we went in, we were a little unsure about the locale. It doesn't look like much from the outside. ordered the Disco Wingferno wings for takeaway. Waited less than 5 minutes. The wings were so amazing that we had to go back. Not too spicy, not too sweet. We will absolutely be back. read more

I'm not sure if they think they are too cool for manners but I've never had ruder service. Swearing at customers as they walk in the door is not cool. If that's what they are going for then fine. Sassy service that doesn't pull any punches can work in New York but in Edinburgh it made for an uncomfortable experience. I hope we can chalk it up to a one-off, because the venue is a marvel, menu is creative and the price is right. Just don't be a douche about it. read more

You can not come to Edinburgh and not stop in at this place! The wings themselves are juicy cooked morsels of heaven covered in the sauce of your choosing and there are a ton of sauces to choose from. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff are not only entertaining but UBER friendly! The prices are low the variety of items on the menu are high and the food totally speaks for itself. read more
