Crown & Dragon Pub

Si pudiera darle menos de una estrella lo haría, simplemente el peor servicio de mi vida. 40 minutos para unas simples papas, una mesera prepotente que me arrebató el dinero de la mano y encima tuvo el descaro de decirme estás haciéndome perder el tiempo… Simplemente pésimo servicio

My beer seemed watered down which is never a good start to a meal. I ordered a Canadian burger with fries. The fries were crispy which is great but the burger was from a frozen patty. I admit I’m a total burger snob so this experience really turned me off making me not want to return again.

The wings are good, lot of flavours so a wide range to choose; however I would dare to say, the worst service I have ever had whole canada! It is insane! They left us stood up for so long, then a table was available and they let another group to get seated!
The bartender was so mean, we complaint but he just shrugged his shoulders and didn’t apologize at all!
There are Better places to eat wings and have a relaxing night after work!

This place is easily my favourite bar in Toronto. Anytime I want to have a good night out with my friends or family; Crown and Dragon is always the place to go. The Dragon Burger rocks, the service is always good and personable and they even have a dartboard! (good place to hone my skills!)

Sadly the wings have shrunk and the once liberal spread of delicious sauce has become scant. This changes my rating from 4 stars to only 2…
What use to be a great guilty pleasure of yummy wings at half price has become no longer worth it at even a quarter of the price. Another one bites the dust.

I will say that these are the best wings in Toronto and the Selection is GREAT.
Dragon’s Breath is aptly named as you do eel you can breathe fire afterwards. I would avoid the Coke flavored wings, they didn’t really do it for me.
It’s even better when they are half priced on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

One wing place that I appreciate the taste in downtown Toronto is here.
They sometimes do little events like stand-​up comedy. If you’re tired of those franchise wing taste, go here.

It would take a few beers for me to say these wings are any good.
Let me start like saying they are small like they got wings from pigeons .
Sauce is very light wings are not all covers by sauce.
I should of known any place that offers ½ price wings must not be good what was I thinking.

If I could give this place less then one star I would. I went there earlier today and I’m still mad about it. I went in for the half off wings and I dont even think you can consider what they served me chicken wings, they were more like chickadee wings cause boy where they tiny.
I love spicy, vinegary wings and these weren’t spicy at all I got the buffalo butter after asking one really confused waitress what the classic chicken wings were cause the menu has a ton of random gross sounding wing options all I want is whatever the franks red hot sauce is! You have to order a drink with the wings whites $ 2 ands no free refills.
Now onto the food, The wings were tiny absolutely shamefully tiny and I would bet that isn’t 1lb of wings because Duffs chicken wings are like triple the size its like the Duffs chicken ate the crown and dragon chicken. The wings were under sauced like there was drought on chicken wing sauce and they had to use in sparingly. Toss that stuff on those tiny chicken wings make them a little better! My high school cafeteria had better chicken wings at least they were bigger…
The fries weren’t even bad costco fries they were worse, they wasn’t a lot of them and they went even hot. they gave me dill sauce with my wings and it was only half full I use that stuff to dip my fries in and I ran out right away! It wasn’t even half full!
Now onto the service, we mistakingly decided to be seated towards the back of the restaurant towards where the waitresses hang out, and I had to over hear their sorority girl conversations no girl nobody cares how drunk you were honestly NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!
It was honestly a horrible experience from start to finish and Im pretty sure the only reason that this place has some rave review is because people who work in the area stop in for the cheap drinks and grab some half off wings. If you actually like wings go to DUFFs anyone who says these are the best wings in the city clearly hasn’t tried enough wings in the city.
I will not be back and I’ve already complained enough I made my Dad glad he never tried the place out because it was just BAD!

Toronto’s Best Wings!!! — hands down.
Look no further. They have amazing flavours to choose from — my favourite are Buffalo butter, dragon’s breathe, foghorn leghorn, smoke gun and honey comb. All the wings were perfectly glazed and crispy, with the exception of the foghorn because those are baked.
I will definitely be back for more.

Service each and every visit is quick and attentive. We love the half price apps and the atmosphere is great. Washrooms are pretty clean and most importantly, on the same floor! Lol

The wings were decent. The best ones are Mardi gras with honey garlic sauce on the side…
The waitress unfortunately spent more time taking selfies than taking care of the restaurant. I’m not generally a stickler for service, but we were sat beside an incredibly messy table and it stayed that way the ENTIRE time we sat here. Really awkward eating beside this

I was honestly quite disappointed with the wings here. We got Asian, barbecue, and lemon wings and only the BBQ even peaked my interest. The wing sizes were pretty small for a place that advertised big wings and the flavours fell flat. The price was palatable and was the only reason I didn’t leave more disappointed (we went for the half off deal).
Service was standard, and the space is what you would expect. There’s a nice outdoor seating area but it gets pretty loud and busy being right on Yonge. Overall, a place like Einsteins mops the floor with these folks, in my opinion.

We have our monthly wing night here after work. I believe Tues & Thurs are half price wings day with a purchase of a drink. They have like 20 flavors to pick from. I usally get the Mardi Gras or the Killer bee/​Honeycomb Heaven. Place gets pretty pack and they do not have a lot of large tables. So if you go with a large party 5+ you might have to wait for more than 1 hr sometimes. The servers are nice and they always show the games here. Good place to hang out

I tried this place for the first time last week! I am amazed at the variety of wings that this place has! The honey garlic and Tuscan sun are amazing ! Also out table ordered a side order of poutine which was a good portion size and quite tasty!
Best time to go is either Tuesday or Thursday know ½ wing nights after 5pm

I have walked past Crown and Dragon many times, but had never gone in. So when I won a $ 25 gift certificate on Twitter (@CrownandDragon) it was a bit worrisome since I live a short walk away, and if I liked it, chances were that I would make excuses to return — cause I love pubs, and one that serves great wings would be a dangerous place for me to frequent (got a figure to maintain ;)). Anyway, I contacted three of my closest friends, and suggested that we visit Crown and Dragon on an evening when wings are 50% off — so we went with a Tuesday night.
Ambiance
I arrived at 5:45pm and restaurant was already at 75% capacity. I agree that the furniture and vibe is quite dated, but if you have frequented as many pubs as I have in Ireland and Scotland, the best pubs are the ones that have not seen a coat of paint in decades, if not centuries, and you wonder whether the chair you are sitting on can be considered antique. So I had no qualms with the dated space.
Service
There was one bartender and two waitresses. By 6:30pm the restaurant was at full capacity, and there were several groups waiting near the entrance for a table. Unfortunately, I felt that our waitress was more concerned about refilling our drinks, than food, so she would only come by when our drinks needed refilling (no, there are no free refills), but when we tried to get her attention for issues related to food — as in we want to order more food or inquiring about our missing order — she was difficult to flag down. But I guess it is understandable when you have a full house with limited staff.
Food
It is true that most people visit Crown and Dragon for the wings, and rightly so. They have 18 flavors of fried wings, and 5 options for baked. We started with 4lb option and each one of us chose a flavor: Honeycomb Heaven, Don How’s Hawaii, Smokin’ Gun and one baked option — Do The Jerk. The wings came with the standard celery and carrot sticks, with a side of ranch dressing. We actually enjoyed all four flavors, though I preferred the fried wings, over the baked. For the 2^nd round we chose: Dragon’s Breath, Turning Japanese, Mardi Gras, and Cuban Sun. I really liked the Dragon’s Breath, though I thought it could have been spicier, and also liked the crispness of the Mardi Gras but it was a tad too salty. I really did not like the Turning Japanese and the Cuban Sun — to the point that I only took one bite of each and refused to finish it.
Also, since appetizers are discounted before 6pm, I ordered the Spicy Spinach Dip ($ 9.95 — a spicy spinach and cheese dip, served warm with a side of pita and crispy tortilla chips), and was pleasantly surprised by the taste, though it did not look very appealing when it was placed in front of me. I also loved that the pita pieces were served warm.
My friend Angela loves sweet potato fries, so she ordered the Yam Fries ($ 6.95 — sweet potatoes that are hand cut and dipped with our own seasonings and golden fried) right after we had our first round of wings, and did not get them until we were almost done our second round of wings (the kitchen and waitress forgot about them). When the fries were placed in front of us, we did not know what the heck we were looking at! Each piece was massive, and unfortunately soggy! It also came with a really weird sauce on the side (soy sauce plus hot sauce combined). It was necessary for us to dip these beasts into the ranch dressing that was meant for the wings.
Overall…
I really enjoyed the food and experience at Crown and Dragon, and loved having the option of trying a bunch of different wing flavors, so that on future visits, we can choose our favorites. Though I think that next time we will try the flavors we have not tried yet — 8 down, 15 to go! Oh, and I also want to try some of their other appetizers.
Been trying to upload my photos for 2 hours now. Don’t know what the issue is. Please check out the photos on my blog:

«Best wings in Toronto» is a title this pub does not deserve. How this spot gets so much accolade is beyond me.
Anyone who enjoys wings will cringe when they order what appears to be a signature sauce but comes out like the generic «hot sauce» something PC would produce.
The wings are pretty small, which also means the bone to meat ratio is brutal when you’re ordering by weight.
In terms of drinks, my girlfriends caeser was 90% water. I appreciate that this isn’t the place to get nicely made drinks but this was very underwhelming.
Repeat? No. Recommended? No.

Came here for regular priced wings. 4 lbs for $ 41, about 7 wings per lb.
Chose Dragon’s Breath, Honey something, Mardi Gras and Coca Cola. Dragon’s breath is supposedly the award winner and very spicy, but it was neither very hot nor that great. As my buddy described «tastes like it was tossed in Frank’s». Mardi Gras was the dry rub one and definitely the pick of the bunch. Had some cheesy-​parmesan like taste as well, which was good. The honey and coca cola ones were too sweet for my taste.
Not the best in terms of value, but not many people were here on regular-​priced wing night. Come on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you do come!

HOW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN A REVIEW FOR MY MOST FAVOURITE PLACE FOR WINGS?
Seriously though… This place has about 30 different flavors for their wings. I always try to order different kinds each time I come. I have yet to be disappointed. I love love LOVE coming here on their half-​price days… which are Tuesday & Thursday after 6pm AND all day Sunday! They usually have happy hour drink and food specials and other specials throughout the week. I imagine their food is just as satisfying as their wings. I swear that this place will not disappoint for wings. Every person I bring here are instant fans!
Also, the servers are super chill, friendly and competent. Good food. Check. Affordable and reasonable prices. Check. Good service. Check.
BESTEST!

Perhaps the best wings in Toronto are served here. I love their honey garlic wings. Even better, pair them with the yam fries, served with soya sauce. Heavenly! So bad for you, but tastes so good. Another thing they do well is their burgers. It can get quite busy here on games nights. Pro-​tip: The wing special nights are Tuesday, Thursday, and Sundays. Pro-​tip: Go early to get seats or you’ll be waiting for 20 – 30 minutes. If you’re looking for amazing wings in Toronto, look no further.

If I’m going to give five stars for wings, this is the only place in Toronto that earns it. There are plenty of four star wings out there but only one place can get five.
Perfectly battered, perfectly moist and perfectly flavoured, these wings embody the main three attributes that define a chicken wing.
They have about 30 flavours to choose from but I usually gravitate towards the Roadside Lemonade and then mix up my second pound of wings with another flavour.
There was a point in time where they strayed away from their discount periods but I’m happy to report that Tuesday evenings, Thursday evenings and all day Sundays are half price.
The only other menu item that I’ve tried are the fries and onion rings but I am not going to penalize Crown & Dragon for them being mediocre. Besides, all I want are their wings!
