Ordered online and for curb side pick up! Restaurant had a sign with phone number to call when you arrive and food is brought out! I get boneless and traditional wings buffalo and BBQ. Crispy green beans are always good too! read more

I love coming here on Mondays because of the price special on wings! I personally prefer the dry rubs and the wings are keto friendly! I can't even count the number of times I've been here! Definitely worth the trip if you're considering it. read more

Love this place. Great drink specials and delicious food. The vibe is a small neighborhood bar which is right up my alley.

On the positive side, the hot honey garlic wing sauce is delicious. On the negative side, this is the second time we've been here and the second time the wings have been undercooked all around and raw in the middle. Two for two aren't good odds, so I'm surprised no one has gotten sick eating raw chicken. Because of this, it will be our last time here. When I pay for someone else to cook our meal, I don't like to have to come home and recook it. Especially when I learned from the first time and asked them to prepare the wings well done. ‍ read more

I don't know what took us so long to check this place out but I'm sure glad we did. We finally went in on Saturday night and boy, we've been missing out. By far bigger and better wings then BWW and about the same selection of sauces too. Plenty of TV's so you won't miss anything. I like how the booths are on an angle too! Great selection of food, great service what more could you ask for?!!? read more

Have been here about 30 or 40 times in the last couple of years I guess, mostly just my wife and I but sometimes with friends. We've been generally happy with our food and service and really like the atmosphere. The reason for the two star review is that on the last four/five visits the wings (which is the main attraction for us) have been either been overcooked to the point that they're dried out on the inside, or under-cooked so the skin is like rubber. Either way is unpleasant. Somewhere along the line the kitchen process has changed and there's no consistency in how the wings come out. We've not been back in almost 4 months and have been sampling other wing places in the area in hopes of finding somewhere they do it right. read more

A very poor man's alternative to a good wings place. A hint for management: buffalo wings are not simply fried chicken wings dipped in sauce. They are DEFINITELY not simply fried chicken wings with sauce poured over them. The Wall Traditional wings were certainly spicy. They were also wet. As in, completely soggy at the bottom. If I had wanted chicken soup, I'd have asked for it. At least the service was good -- our waitress was very attentive. I went with some friends as part of a goodbye party. The friend we said goodbye to, I hope to see again soon. Wings, Etc.? Not so much. read more

We were looking for somewhere other than the main chains to have some food and drinks for the Bulls game and we found ourselves here. Man, am I glad we made that decision. It's tucked away in a small strip mall right by the large BWW's so I don't think a lot of people know about this place but they should. Their wings were delicious, larger than most other places and very tender. I really like how both the bone and boneless wings are the same price when pretty much everyone else charges you more for boneless. They don't have the number of sauces BWW has, but they pretty much cover all the same flavors and spices. They also have a pretty large menu for things aside from wings. They had burgers, chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, dogs, pizza, wraps, salads, and plenty of appetizers. I tried their Prime Rib Philly wrap and it was amazing, the prime rib was cooked perfectly! They have lots of different beers on tap too and the service was pretty good I thought for how busy they were. It's not a very large place and it fills up fast so I would get there early if you're going for a sports game. Although, I would recommend it for any night of the week! read more

Where to start....well the Poppers were actually good and didn't taste like they were freezer burnt - which is always nice. So what about the wings...to be honest they were pretty good. We ordered 12 Buffalo (Mild) and 12 of the Tangy/Sweet. The buffalo sauce and wings were okay nothing great or special. The Tangy/Sweet one's were actually very good. The 24 pieces of wings showed up with only two lousy pieces of celery (no carrots), so either the cooks can't count or this place is super cheap. Aside from the wings, the service was adequate. There are lots of plasma big screen TVs but not one of them had the sound on so you could enjoy the games. I guess that would be normal if there was music in the background being played but there was no music. The whole experience leaves you feeling like WTF...the only thing you hear is people ordering or chewing! So our bill was $40 bucks for 24 wings, one order of poppers, a single coke and two large draft beer (Coors). The best thing about this place was the BEER...it was COLD...just as one would hope. We would have given this place 1.5 stars but Yelp doesn't allow it. One stars would be unfair - maybe it was a bad day for the crew, so they get two stars. The general ambiance of the place is actually very cool and it could be a fun place to watch a game, drink some beer and eye ball the fairer sex. Oh one more thing...don't bother parking in front of the place (facing route 14) the only entrance is in the back of the restaurant, so park there. They may want to put some arrow in the windows showing people where the hell they need to go, to even get into the place. Yep...another lack luster dinning experience in McHenry County. read more

After eating at BDubs multiple times over the many months I have lived in the area, I decided to give 'the little guy' just down the road a try to see how they fared. They were just as pricey as their competitor and the fry of the wings were comparable, but a big drawback is their over saucing of the wings. For my order of 10 wings, I had over a half an inch of sauce pooled at the bottom of the basket and by the time I got to the last wing, what once had a nice crunch, was now soggy... Not so good. Since they cost the same as BDubs and are not quite as good, I won't be back. The one positive they have over BDubs is that they have a pinball machine. (I love pinball.) read more

Franchise sports bar that's new to the area....they opened just before football season started I think, or some date that coincided with the football season. 1st time we went, it was okay. 2nd time we got some takeout wings and when we got them home there was not sauce on them. Ugh. They say third time's a charm...but....no. The waitress spent most of ther time in the back loitering around the drink station talking to her friends. I could tell because we could see them standing there. I asked for diet soda, it was totally flat. I got a second one, still not great. The girl admitted they were pouring the drinks out of 2-liters. Somone suggested to me that maybe they aren't getting their bills paid and maybe Pepsi is not providing them with syrups and stuff. Who knows. Anyway, the kicker is we had 20 wings, a garlic bread appetizer, and a chicken salad with three drinks.....$30!?!?!? WTF over? They bill this place as a family sports bar...and it kind of is, except for the family part. Plenty of cigarette smoke floating by and guys in pick up trucks with t-shirts advertising country music. Music was strange too, including Danzig, some rap stuff, and plenty of twangy droning stuff too. read more

Never returning. Service was terrible, when they finally brought our order it was wrong. The final straw was a loud vulgar table that the staff had no control over - their answer, when they should have tossed them out, or called the police (since clearly the staff had NO control of the place) was instead to serve them more drinks. I would generally chalk this up to them having a 'bad day' but this has been the norm for their service over the last several visits. Sorry wings, not sure where thins went wrong because you started off with a bang, but you've lost our business. read more

We used to eat here every few months or so, but this was our first visit since the pandemic began. Won't be in a hurry to go back. Got some pretzel bites, that were like they had been deep fried, and they were dripping oil - unlike any pretzels I've ever had before - avoid! My wife and I got wings and boneless wings. Regular wings were good. The boneless wings were like rock hard balls. They had either been fried WAAAAY to long, or possibly had been cooked, allowed to sit, and cooked again. Not good at all. My son had a chicken wrap that was good, except he picked out the chicken, as it had been evidently the same rock hard dry chicken balls. For the three of us with one round of drinks and one horrible appetizer was far too expensive for what we experienced. LOTS of better options -- both for meal experience and for wings. read more

We come here often. I prefer Wings Etc over any of the other wing getting places in the area. The wings here are much larger than an often abbreviated competitor. Maybe twice the size.. and better quality too! My typical order is the 10 traditional wings hot and a side of the curly cajun fries and a side of the TNT sauce. The wife always does the tweener boneless wings. The TNT sauce is great for dipping the fries in. The atmospehere is your typical sports bar type place.. some tv's with sports on them. If you are a wing lover or even just a liker... you should check this place out. I have never left dissapointed or hungry. Oh.. And the staff is usually pretty friendly too. read more

As others have said, this place has some pretty good wings. My wife and I split an order of the 24 boneless wings. The chicken was juicy, and they had a nice crunchy breading. The wings prices are a bit pricey, but they're a decent size so you do get your moneys worth. We also had the loaded fries (cheese, sour cream, and bacon) which was a big let down. The fries were soggy, and the sour cream wasn't quite right. They have three large TV's and the music is cranked up, but not obnoxiously loud. Warning, the music isn't kid safe, so families be warned. Overall this is a nice spot, we'll definitely be back! read more

This is the third time I've been here over the last 5 years. I'm not really a wing person, but my kids and my guy love them. My visit tonight was absolutely terrific. American Mule- so fabulous I ordered a second one. For dinner I custom-ordered and they did not disappoint. Tator tots topped with real melted cheddar and shredded pork, served with bbq sauce and sour cream on the side. The server Abby was cheerful and pleasant and made eye contact. She listened to what I was asking for and made it happen. And she checked back on us regularly. The cooks took the time to toss cheese on the tots in layers so all the good stuff wasn't just on top. The bbq sauce was spicy sweet. Sooooooooo good. read more

My husband and I went for dinner as we do often at the Crystal Lake location. Our food as always was delicious, bone in "naked wings" with our sauces on the side (because we of course can't agree lol). I LOVE the mahalaque bbq and he likes the mild. The wings always come out crispy and hot! Our server was amazing as always, we frequent wings for the many servers they have that are friendly and always remember your orders or drinks. Rachel was our server last night and she is always a blast, quick witted and attentive. Our overall experience is what keeps us coming back! 5/5 read more

Simple wings...no muss, no fuss! Great for grabbing wings to go etc if you're in the mood. This place is a simple sports bar with a simple menu and definitely a good place for Monday Night Football or the like. Staffing has been friendly but a little bit understaffed and tired sometimes, so the service has been underwhelming. I can,t really give a glowing review but I would say there is plenty of different sauces to choose from and really there is a decent selection of domestic big brand beers. No complaints... :) read more

I don't have a single complaint about this place, the food is amazing and the service is fast! Besides their wings being the best I've ever had, the nachos are too die for and they're huge! read more

Orders wrong always. This place is horrible. It must be management the bartender got my beer right. The food is differently not up to Wings etc. standards. Come here to drink but I will never order food from this place. A month ago we ordered 50 wings mixed sauces and ordered celrey with them it was wrong all of it carrot no celry sauces were somewhat right. I would not get take out from here again. No half star available. read more

Best wings in CL! Their specials are great. Awesome sports bar and excellent service. Very laid back bar/diner for family and friends. read more

Cold beer, hot wings, and the big game on tv. I mean that's about all you need in life. Top it of with good service and a great crowd and I'm a happy man. I recommend though, stay away from the hamburgers. For whatever reason they over cook them for safety. read more

First time there. Place is great, friendly and some really good specials both food and drinks. If you like super messy wings this is the place to go. So much sauce on them and in basket for extra dipping. We had garlic-parmesan and me-so-messy and beer battered onion rings. Delicious.. Going to try Wednesday for .49 shrimp with any flavor. read more

I've been here a couple times in the past year or so. I used to come more often but the quality has really dropped. I used to come here more often but starting about a year ago, the quality really fell off. I ordered the medium buffalo wings. When I got my order, the wings were bare and all the sauce was in a pool at the bottom. I asked the bartender to complain and she said, that's how they always are. Thinking maybe they had a couple new people, I tried them a month later and ordered the same thing and got the same thing, bare wings with the sauce in a pool at the bottom. Well fast forward a year. I figured they must have worked through what ever was going on, I stopped by and of course ordered medium buffalo wings and chili fries. Let me just say that the chili fries were great and is why I am giving them two stars rather than just one. The wings were, yep bare with the sauce in a pool at the bottom. As I stated, the chili fries were great but the restaurant isn't called Chili Fries Etc. and they are also not why I went to this restaurant. In the future, I will be looking for a place that knows how to make wings. read more

Great wings! Very cool atmosphere, very cool menu and plenty of variety. They let you sample the wing sauces prior to ordering. Good beer selection! read more

Placed an order for takeout and it was ready very quickly with an estimated time of 10-15 minutes. Food and beverages were excellent, food was hot and tasted fresh. Order was complete and accurate and the gentleman on the phone who took my order was very nice and patient.10/10 would try again. read more

Wings ETC...you'd think they'd have fabulous wings right? Wrong! Ordered a 7pc traditional wings with their hottest habanero sauce. It was my first time here and also my last. Server was very polite and attentive. I sat at the bar. When the wings came out, they were served in a burger basket lined with double wax paper. No big deal since they give you a side dish to place your bones in but the wings were swimming in a tomato broth. The sauce was definitely spicy but it was very soupy. Half of the wings were submerged so by the time you got to them, they were soggy and nasty. If I wanted soup, I would have ordered it! The wings themselves had great flavor and would have been even better if the sauce was good and they were just tossed in the sauce as opposed to swimming in sauce. Take a look at the pictures, I'm not kidding! read more

I have had carry out 3 days in a row. Food was prepared as it should have been, staff was super nice. It was a great environment that Connersville really needed. If you haven't gone yet, make sure you go. 5 stars from this reviewer. read more

We stop in whenever we have an excuse to be in the area around lunchtime. Excellent meaty and tasty wings and delicious curly fries are the normal order for us. Today a limited time item caught my eye. Get in here soon and take advantage of the garlic cheese curds. They were beyond delicious!! read more

More so the pub part than the restaurant part when it comes to the inside (kind of looks like a college bar). Some of the staff was friendly, the others kind of seemed like they wanted nothing to do with the place and just wanted to go home. Food was average for a wing place. Kind of like a less expensive wing stop with more food options. read more

The wings and breaded mushrooms are good, but every time I go to pick up my carry-out order, the bartenders make me feel like I'm interrupting them. Not friendly, no eye contact, they kind of ignore you while gabbing with the bar peeps. Just my opinion. Lots of other good wing places in the area that seem to appreciate my business more.. read more

This is always my favorite place in town - great loud place to bring kids, with good service and food. In addition, plenty of tvs surround you and they are open late on the weekends! read more

So the owner sent me a message a long time ago asking me to send my email so he could contact me to try to make things right. I sent him an email and received no response. Logged back onto yelp and sent him a message stating I sent him an email. The only thing I got back was a thanks for your email. I have never heard back from him. I would not recommend going there. Go to crystal lake rib house or BWW's. read more

Awful service. The waiters can't see when you seat yourself because of the large walls surrounding each table (which would be great for privacy if the servers were trained to actually check of people sat in them), after a 5 minute wait I had to get up and ask the servers all the way in the back of the restaurant for menus. When ordering drinks I asked if the water was filtered - she said yes but brought me tap water. When we were ready to order the server was nowhere to be found. When we finally saw another server walk by we had to ask her to get our serve read more

Great staff, service and food. We have become somewhat regulars here often getting the nachos (which are outstanding btw) or the grilled chicken sandwich - they marinate it in an Italian dressing and it's quite tender, best in town!
