Wild Wing Cafe

So after a terrible experience across the way @ Whiskey River… We came here, this place was awesome. The band was really good, the wings where cooked perfectly and Raven was our server, she was awesome! Friendly greeting at the door, my drink was never left empty and we are all smiles! Thank you for fixing my Charlotte experience! (Live in LA) I recommend Wild wings for a good time!

Very disappointing. On a good note, our server was great and kept drinks full during our hour long wait for food. Restaurant was pretty much empty so wait should not have been long. My order of chicken salad sandwich was never even brought out and 15 minutes after the rest of our party was served, it came out with warm chicken salad in it. Turkey avocado wrap came out with no avocado, side of tots were never served and the mozzarella cheese sticks must have been flash fried because the cheese had ‘magically’ disappeared from inside. Will never try this place again!

Third time there after a football game. 2 bartenders for the entire restaurant, needed 7.

Sunday after a home football game, they weren’t overly busy (thank god) but they were still overwhelmed. Server (Laura) was really nice but was set up to fail. Tvs were weren’t tuned to the late games until half time!!! Unbelievable!!! Bathroom was disgusting. Food was alright. I wouldn’t go back, they need management help big time

Food is good, service is even better. I’m in town for a business weekend trip and the staff is amazing. Coming from Los Angeles, not used to being served with such delight. Definitely be back

2 out of 5 starts because of terrible service. Management needs to get a better handle on the restaurant, and their employees. The food was decent, otherwise I would’ve rated 1 star.

As the meal progressed the service got worse. My wife had to find the waitress (who was playing on her phone) to let her know we wanted dessert. I joked that our ice cream was going to come out melted because the waitress would never check on the food… yes the ice cream came out melted. If you have all day to wait, this is your place. If not, look elsewhere.

Given this place’s reputation, I was expecting quality wings and sauces. I ordered 12 boneless wings, half braveheart half habanero hots, and they were of astonishingly low quality. Basic red pepper flakes, no hint of any habanero, extra salty and vinegary like tobasco, and they were served ice cold. All 6 people in our group were disgusted by our orders.
The only saving grace of this place was their buffalo chicken dip, which had a cream cheese base and had a great tang to it. This is a cool place to hang out, but a terrible place for a hot wing connoisseur.

FOOD: ⁴⁄₅ STARS
SERVICE: ³⁄₅ STARS
I’ve only been to this location, and I’ve only ever been for lunch during a week day. The all-​you-​can-​eat wings for $ 11.99 draw me in. The wings are pretty solid, and they have a lot of great sauces. I’d definitely recommend the jalapeño cheddar (really not too spicy), the gold rush, and the crazy daisy.
Service here on the other hand is extremely slow. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush. Doesn’t matter what time of the day, or if it’s empty or packed … always slow.

If I could give this place a negative star I would. We went in with a group of four last night before a concert. We waited for an hour and a half and never got seated even though when we left there were 23 tables open. This place has serious management issues.

It was a real disappointment that I come to an establishment where I crave a simple thing which is chicken wings. I come in to get in a table and the hostess didn’t even acknowledge us and just grabbed menus and started walking to the table without saying a word. Then I finally sit down at the table and asked about what flavored vodkas they had. They said they had none which was surprising since I had them before. So just to prove a point, I went to the main bar and asked for my drink. They magically had it which was phenomenal. I came back to my table and asked to speak to a manager in which he responded he didn’t care etc

I like Wild Wing Café in general. There’s one near my place and I used to go to watch games all the time. Now, I don’t really have the time to watch any game. The food here at the Epicentre location was also good. I enjoyed my Drew’s Delicious Chicken Sandwich. The fries were really good too.
One thing I’d like to mention is that it was really cold. I know it’s a really cold day around 10 degrees but still. And we were seated at the first table by the door. And the door being what it is, kept opening and we were all shaking and shivering. You should do something about that. Not all places are cold inside because it’s cold outside. Other than that, it was a nice place for lunch with colleagues on a weekday.

Couldn’t eat here.
Walked in to an almost empty restaurant and sat down. After a few minutes we were greeted by friendly staff and were brought waters. When we received our water we noticed things floating in my glass. Then noticed their 93 health rating score. We got up and left before the staff came to take our order. Totally disgusted.

Jalapeño Cheddar wings and beers! Can’t ask for a better place!
Good staff, awesome service, and greasy view of the TVs.

I actually thought this place was pretty good. The wings reminded me of Native New Yorker wings back home in AZ.
We ordered the full order of hot wings for $ 15. Our waitress was sweet and our order came pretty quickly. We ordered half hot and half atomic hot. We couldn’t tell the difference, both were good and hot, just like we like. For some reason though my beers seemed to take a while to get to me, which i didn’t like. I think she simply kept forgetting about them. The place had a a big bar area with a small stage for music entertainment during the evening weekend hours I’m assuming, since nothing was goin on while we were there. Lots of Tv’s which pleased my son and I as we like to watch football while enjoying yummy wings.
If I’m ever in the epicenter in Charlotte again I wouldn’t mind stopping there again.

We came over here to eat lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was not busy and service was a little slow. Additionally they seemed to have run out of silverware so they gave us plastic ware, which is a little strange. The ambiance seems good but I did notice that they could give their ceiling fans a cleaning… there were chunks of dust hanging off of a few.
Ok the food… This place is not allergy friendly. My friend ordered the char grilled chicken salad. Apparently everything cooked on the grill here uses butter. They did not offer to cook the chicken or anything in a pan, so sans chicken was her salad. And they charged her full price for it. I ordered the chicken feathers, and they tasted like gas or fuel used to light the grill. I tried to cover it up with blue cheese but that didn’t help. My fault for not sending it back. On a positive note, our other friend enjoyed the buffarella chicken wrap and my husband really enjoyed the wings. And it’s always a plus when there are wet-​naps and soft napkins.

Popped in for a post-​game beer (the Hornets won!) and to wait while the Lynx carried away most of the fans. No food this evening, just two cold ones at the bar. Lots of beer choices including a good few locals such as Olde Mecklenburg Brewery.
Bartender was good, seats were comfortable, there was little wait. All good.

It was a busy night, so they told us about a 30 minute wait. Ok, no problem, we just went over to the bar for some drinks to burn some time. The problem though was the fact that we walked by several open tables that suited our group size. We just wrote it off to maybe being down a server. That was until they sat us forty minutes later at one of those very tables that was open when we walked in.
The bartender was good. He moved quickly and was on top of things. He also worked with our server to transfer our tab to our table. A simple thing that many places will not do so it was appreciated.
Our server at the table was also good. He came by often and was friendly. His visits got a little too space out toward the end, but overall it was good.
There are plenty of televisions to catch the game, or many games for that matter. There is a large bar area and a lot of regular seating as well. They had a live band in later in the evening. I am normally ok with this at a bar, but it confuses me at a sports bar. Especially with so many great 8pm games on. Also for whatever reason it was very warm inside. It was slightly crowded at times, but not enough to justify the excessive heat.
The food was ok. I ordered 8 boneless wings in the flaming Parmesan sauce. The sauce had decent flavor, but was certainly not flaming. The wings were large, but slightly over cooked. Not burnt, but overly crisp.
I also ordered the Steel Town Spuds with tater tots. You get a good sized portion. The tots come topped with ranch dressing, bacon, scallions and melted cheese. The flavor was ok. They brought out some buffalo sauce to dip it in and that made it much better.

I ordered takeout wings from here while I was in town for work. The wings were really good, there were expansive flavor choices, and it’s pretty cheap. I can’t comment much on the atmosphere but suffice it to say the short time I was inside, I couldn’t tell if it was more like a TGI Fridays or a wannabe club. It was confusing at best, albeit entertaining.

I’ve been hitting up Wild Wing in the EpiCentre for a long time now — bout time I wrote a review for it! About a year ago the place closed down for a bit and went through an overhaul and corporate bought the place up. I, for one, have never had a bad experience here either way… before or after corporate had bought it.
The food is tasty but you need to know what to order. Some items, like the queso and the buffalo dip, are a bit lackluster, nothing great and I’d say save the money and just get something else. I love the little pups here… they are mini hot dogs with chili on them. Simple enough but the chili has a little spice kick (not hot spice but flavorful). And I tend to get the buffalo chicken salad quite often. The salad is huge and will definitely fill you up. The wings give you plenty of options with over 30 flavors — most of the flavors seemed baked on or maybe rubbed on, but if you are expecting hot wings dripping in sauce, you won’t get them here.
The location is great, except for paying for parking but hey, that’s Uptown’s thing, not Wild Wing… plus the light rail runs right behind it so you can always jump on that. Live music on the weekends which makes for great energy in the bar. And a good drink selection, plenty of taps and always a drink on special. I don’t make Wild Wing my usual jaunt but if I’m around Trade St, I have no problems stopping in for a bite or sip.
