Cheap an cheerful buckets of wing with various rubs and sauces. The hot wing challenge was hot but not unbearably hot. Drinks were pretty cheap. My only complaint is the staff are a bit too relaxed. It's great you have fun at work but don't scream in my ear freak. Also a free range option would be good. read more

No, they don't do Red Bull, or is it just me that thought that? Down a close on the Royal Mile, behind some bins, at the bottom of hill (that's really slippy when it's raining, beware!) next to what looks like a Spanish tour guide hangout you'll find one of Edinburgh's best kept secrets. It's not much to look at from the outside, but dagnabbit, that's part of the charm of the place. It's got it's own unique look and feel, it's almost like stepping in to a dive bar in Brooklyn. I'd imagine, I've never set foot in New York. Or America, for that fact. It's called poetic license, see. In any case - the decor is mixed and matched, the style is all over the place, the walls and table tops are adorned with laminated 50s style pin up girls - and it's all great. It makes you smile, which is surely the point of any experience. Plus points to the staff as they handled a very damp, very confused, very lost looking version of me visiting for the first time! The food? Well, as the name suggests - it's chicken wings. Not just boring old, plain chicken wings (although I don't doubt they would whip those up if you so asked) but all sorts of flavours and styles. The menu looks to have about 50 or so options of wings to choose from. They come in batches of 6 and are cheap enough to mix and match. I chose 2 batches of 6 and can of Pepsi - traditional BBQ style and Disco Wingferno, a hotter chipotle sriracha combination. My sriracha addiction has been well documented in other reviews. The wings themselves are great, cooked to perfection. The idea of including a bucket on the table to toss you bones into is genius. All around the room I was in, you could hear the happy "ding!" of bone hitting bucket. It was like a surreal chicken horror version of It's A Wonderful Life - "Every time a bucket rings, a chicken loses it's wings" The sauces were gorgeous - the BBQ was sweet, sticky, warm and just moreish, and the Disco Wingferno was fiery, but not too fiery. Check out the hotter sauces on the menu including the evil sounding "Suicide" wings. Next time? Maybe. They also offer chips and tortillas for dipping into the remaining sauce in your bowl, another great idea. My meal was a just £8 - for 12 wings and a can of juice. I think that was remarkable for the quality and taste, and as such, I will happily return time and time again. During the Fringe, it's nice to have somewhere a wee bit off the beaten track to hide from the crowds, fliers and street performers. Getting top quality food, great service and value is a happy bonus. Not if you're a chicken, though. Obviously. read more

Awesome selection of wing sauces to choose from and local brews in a low-key, relaxed atmosphere. Make sure you don't miss out on the selection of old-school video games downstairs! read more

See all

I had heard about this place through my boyfriend who heard it from a classmate, and then looked it up on Yelp to ensure it was really a "wing place". After going there, this place gets 5 stars solely on the fact they only serve chicken wings, and they are amazingly delicious wings. The interior of the restaurant, if that is even the right word, is nothing fancy, which suits the food and atmosphere well. It feels like you are tucked into someone's living room with random nerdy sci-fi posters and mis-matched chairs and tables. It really feels like a college bar that serves that hot wings American's love. The lovely waitress was very helpful in checking we knew they only served wings, although a few vegetarian options, and they serve chips, I would never bring a non-meat eater here. Entirely pointless. They were fairly busy, but our wings came out pretty quickly and all were hot and looked killer! It is a very casual environment and an equally chill dining experience. They also offer the standard beer and small spirit drinks to wash down your feed. They have a good range of sauces and styles or rubs or spices for the wings, and with each sauce you get 6 wings for 3.50, served in a paper bowl, slathered in sauce. We opted for the Mardi Gras Madness, the traditional Louisiana Hot Sauce wing, the Mam Prickin Amazing, Sriracha Chipolte Wing, the Tiger Sauce (Buffalo striped smooth) and although not traditional maybe, I got the Dill-licious, maple and dill barbecue wing. All were well fried perfectly and sauced to perfection. The best was definitely the Mardi Gras madness, smothered in Franks Hot Sauce, it was the true buffalo wing I would expect. All were quite tasty and we were both madly happy. It is a no-fuss, delicious experience, where you get exactly what you expect and even a bucket to discard the remains of your wings experience. I love chicken wings and this place does not disappoint. It is definitely a group destination for lovers of all types of wings, my only hope is that one day they get teriyaki maybe! read more

Excellent wings. Good beer. Awesome music. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wings were cooked just like I like them - crispy. The downstairs was dark and eclectic. This was a great find in Edinburgh. Thanks Yelpers! read more

Great wings, Loads of flavours to choose from and a decent setting, can get pretty crowded pretty quickly! but overall good experiance. service was not as fast as you'd expect from the place but good all the same! read more

Wings was amazing. Unfortunately, when I went (on a Friday night), they were booked solid at 7:15 and wouldn't have a table until 9:15. So make sure to make a reservation. However, I did take away, and the food was fantastic. I highly suggest the dry rub wings, which I thought were the best (Salt/Pepper/Lemon and the spicy ones were what I tried). The only thing I would change is probably getting a few more. I got three baskets, which was cheap (£12 for all three, which had 6 wings each), and probably should've gotten a fourth. Plus, I would recommend getting a reservation. The atmosphere was very cool. read more

Foodwise 3.5 star. The wings were a bit dry. Crispy on the outside but the meat was not succulent. But I like the concept of wings plus beers, and food coming very fast was also a plus. read more

Wings Edinburgh - Salt n Pepper - Chicken Wings Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I am an absolute massive fan of chicken wings - always have been, always will be. The flavours that are usually always the same in most places: BBQ, Hot sauce or peri-peri. I thought I was absolutely spoiled for life when it comes to chicken wings after visiting the USA and having the most amazing buffalo wings on a near daily basis over there. However - I was then introduced to Wings. My friends were waxing lyrical about the place and I thought "meh, why not?". Oh why not indeed! Walking through the door I was instantly wrapped in a massive geek-love-nostalgia hug simply from the set-up. All the tables are themed - they don't have numbers. You'll be on the Dragonball Z table, or Doctor Who table, or Where's Wally table or the "insert fandom here" table. The walls are scrawled with doodles of pop-culture, video games, film references. It's AMAZING. But what about the food? Wings advertises "the agony of choice" and boy they aren't wrong! There are 50+ (I think) flavours to choose from, all sorted into neat little categories based on their base flavour. I try to get something different each time to sample everything, but I always get the Long John Silver (and I strongly suggest you do the same). There are other items on the menu, but be warned- this is a wings restaurant and little else, so do your research before you go and get all upset that they don't have much else on offer. They don't deserve your bad reviews because you didn't do you research. I've never had a bad experience here and I will continue to frequent Wings on a regular a basis as long as my waist line will allow it. Also (18's and over) get an alcoholic milkshake when you're there! read more

My friend and I found this place on Yelp. I LOVE wings, but since I'm gluten intolerant, I'm always wary of them being breaded. We decided to stop in and ask them, and they let us know that they weren't breaded. Then our incredibly nice waiter brought out a specially marked menu showing all the sauces that were gluten free. SO helpful! The wings were great and the sauces were delicious! Definitely go for the MK211 sauce, it was by far our favorite! Love this place!!! read more

If you are a fan of chicken wings, a must place for you! Serves chicken wings with tons of sauces/flavours to choose from for £4.20 per plate! Pop culture ambience with friendly staffs. Great alternative to ordinary fast food. They have awesome cocktails and some special beers of the day! When we went, there was salted caramel chocolate beer. Not a beer fan, but my husband loved it! Fun food in a fun place to try ;) read more

Awful!! I had been looking forward to going here for ages as i luurrrve chicken wings. However I'm now very glad I hadnt saved it for a special occasion. When we arrived we were seated in a large room with lots of empty tables but were placed between the 2 occupied tables (who were very noisy) when I asked for a drinks menu I was given the guest drinks menu and when questioned about wether they served g&t the waiter seemed very put out. As he was when we enquired into prices as there are none on the menu, we were told £2.50 for the wings and something mumbled about sides. Chicken wings arrived in paper bowls and we waited to get a plate or something to put the bones in, again waiter much put out when we asked if we could get plates and could we have one to put the bones in, he huffed then pointed to the bucket that was on the table filled with napkins and toothpicks and told us we used that. 2 paper bowls were flung down. Chicken itself was very under par, only 1 out of the 4 we ordered was remotley warm, the tortilla things were nice though. As we had decided to go elsewhere for our main course we asked if we could have the bill, to be told only Tattoo table. Pardon? We asked. Tattoo table at the bar. From which we deduced we were meant to pay at the bar. No receipt was given so no idea how much the drinks were. Terrible experience that could have been totally avoided with one question from the staff- have you been here before? Then maybe a wee explanation of how they work. However our mains at Vittoria were great! read more

I loved Wings, and more importantly, my boyfriend loved Wings. He grabbed a seat downstairs and immediately started playing Mario Kart on N64. After playing video games for a while (I won twice) we ordered a few baskets of wings and some beer. I really enjoyed the wings with sauce, not so much the dry ones. A movie was playing downstairs too. All in all this is a really chill place to hang out and definitely cheap because each basket of wings is about £2.50. As an American person I will return to get more chicken wings very soon! read more

Very nice laid-back eatery with pretty decent wings. Great waitstaff who are clearly enjoying their time and offer great service. I will definitely come back and often! read more

Was only in Edinburgh for a weekend and found this place on Yelp- to say the least, incredible!! The boozy milkshakes are too notch and the wings are to die for! 10/10 would recommend great price for what you get read more

Cannot recommend this little gem enough! The kind of place you could sit for hours, bowl after bowl of wings eaten! And reasonable enough to try several of their delicious toppings. Nicest ranch sauce I have ever tried and needless to say their sweet bbq sauce had me droooling. The star wars memorabilia also gets two thumbs up from us! read more

My favorite place to get wings! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Would recommend!

Does what it says and does it well. Plus an alfresco area for when we are blessed by the rays. Don't want to say much more in case you all start heading here and I won't get a seat. read more

I've been there once for take away, order a very very spicy wings of course, it was good. The place were full of young people, it's feels like 80's hippies , smoky dirty atmosphere. I can feel the joy of everyone having here, you can called me old man but I will not like to stay here. However, the wings are good. read more

I hate the taste of the fried one in this retauranr. It was really bad. Very hard to eating.

Friendly staff, comic themed decoration and various delicious chicken wings... What you expect more?

Nope, don't get this at all. What you've got is a basic concept where poor quality chicken wings are deep fried by amateurs; covered in sauce and then delivered to you in a paper bowl at £3.95 for 6 - and that's it. The 'cooks' in the kitchen basically fry the crap out of everything, including the tortilla chips etc, and rely on the perceived element of 'cool' to trust that people won't complain that the food being delivered by badly trained waiting staff is overcooked (one waiter was wearing a very loosely fitting vest - no shirt, just a vest ffs). It's the Emperor's New Clothes in a chicken wing format. It is genuinely crap. read more

Had some of their wings at The Dog House. Portion size good for price and lots of flavours. Shame that the wings aren't marinated in the sauces. read more

Awesome wings! So different than any I've had before, they had a bunch of cool options to try out. The nacho ones were my favorite, but all their spicy ones are good too. Well priced as well and super cool interior of the restaurant! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Wings was so so awesome. I love chicken wings so much and I was waiting to go here for such a long time! Their staff is super cool and they've decorated the whole place with geeky things like doctor who, Jurassic Park, and Star Trek. They even have drinks based off of the evolutions of Squirtle! *For people like me who care about price, it wasn't on the menu, but I believe that each bowl of wings cost somewhere around £3 read more

After a day traveling around Edinburgh, Wings was the perfect snack to fill my American wing-loving desires. Good atmosphere. They had a movie marathon going on downstairs. Service was pretty good too. I had a magner's and dancing in the bleu flame (hot bleu cheese)! I'll be coming back sooner rather than later! :) read more

Wings Edinburgh - Chicken Wings Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Closed early (10pm) on a Saturday?!? Ridiculous. Staff sat outside smoking and drinking giving no explanation as to why. Just giggling like school kids. Bad bad bad. read more

Great idea - a restaurant which basically sells just chicken wings in a variety of sauces,a ll served on paper plates. The lack of pretension keeps the price down, while the wings themselves are hot and tasty (and available in about 100 different toppings!) All the tables are themed in one way or other - Doctor Who, Star Wars and similar shows - but some of them also have old games consoles, which you can play while eating. Perfect for kids and for older folks! read more

A very large combination of wings to choose from. I have been here around three times, and have been happy every occasion. The interior decoration is very unique and you feel like you're somewhere different. read more

Are you guys serious with these reviews, I am a wing lover and was so excited to find this place, but what a let down. I thought seeing as they only serve wings they are gonna be amazing. Firstly what the hell are they doing reheating the wings, the meat is so dry , are they doing this to save time cause it took about 2 mins to get my food from when I ordered. I don't mind waiting 10 mins if it is freshly cooked, the chicken should be moist and juicy, not dry. Secondly the sauces taste like they are right out of a bottle, if the only thing they do is reheat the wings surely they have time to prepare some fresh ingredients for the sauces. Huge disappointment read more

If spice is your life then this is the place for you. I am someone who loves spicy sauces and in Wings you are spoilt for choice! The decor and vibe can be described as punky, nerdy and cool all at the same time - they have where's Wally tables and Star Wars art just to give you an idea. The food and drinks menu is pretty simple - they do beers, spirits and soft drinks for a decent price. Don't expect fancy cocktails here. The food menu is also quite short - you can order wings, fries and not much else. The sauces however, are the main event - there are loads of options for all kinds of tastes. The idea is you order as many portions of wings and a sauce (you get 6 wings for £3.50!!!) as you can muster. My appetite is more delicate than I would like so I normally order one or two portions of wings but get any other sauces I fancy on the side for an extra 50p. The sauces I've had have been brilliant and spicy with my faves being Mardi Gras madness and molten mounty. Not a fan of spice? They also do dry rubs, BBQ sauces and even a margarita one! I'd recommend this place for lunch, after you've had a few drinks or if you want a chilled no-frills bite to eat with friends. They also do a suicide challenge with their spiciest sauce where you have to eat all six wings (no sour cream) and if you succeed you make it onto their infamous wall of flame! read more

I love wings, and when I found this, I made my wife walk with me into town to go try it out. Its was a bit out of the way, which scared her a bit. But it was late at night, and a fairly busy part of town, so I didn't feel any apprehension about the walk there. The tables were all themed, and as much as I wish they had sat us at the Jurassic Park table, we got the Dragon Ball Z table instead. Still, the wings were delicious. The menu was quite big, with many different varieties in the flavors and types of sauces available. I was very tempted to do the "Suicide Challenge" but my wife wouldn't let me. I need to go back with some friends who will encourage that type of reckless behavior next time. Our server did bring me a sample of that sauce to taste, in the form of a toothpick having been dipped in the sauce. Boy was it hot... But very tasty. Going back is on my to do list next time I visit Scotland. read more

nice cheap place to eat in Edinburgh. We tried 3 different types of their sauces and seasonings and they were all pretty good. the hard part is the menu is so long it's hard to choose! read more

Best wings in Edinburgh. Hidden away, but really awesome. Loads of different flavors at a good price, so you can get more than one and try a bunch. Throw the bones in the bucket when you're done to see how many you've eaten. Really nice. Will definitely go again and again and again. read more
