Wings Etc.

Wings Etc might be the most consistently excellent chain-​food experience I’ve ever had, and this location is the gold standard of the many Wings Etc locations I’ve been to. Between the excellent wings, the dizzying selection of alcohol, and the top-​notch wait staff, this restaurant is permanently enshrined as one of my all-​time favorites.
I knew that I was addicted when, after walking into the bar during one trip with a friend, the bartender (Michael) recognized us and immediately offered up two Blue Moon schooners, our usual. That extremely impressive level of service is likely possible because this location sees a relatively low amount of foot traffic. Despite patronizing this location dozens of times on different days at different hours, we have not once waited for a table.
What can be said about the food that hasn’t been said already? The wings are spectacular. You can expect them to be large and swimming in sauce. Speaking of which, the sauce choices are overwhelming: their classic BBQ is a go-​to, but try out the Say It Ain’t Tso or Me-​So-​Spicy for something a little different.
If its alcohol you’re after, its hard to do better on this side of town. Their draft selection isn’t quite as extensive as Buffalo Wild Wings down the road but it gets the job done without the large crowds and strange chlorine smell. They will certainly do mixed drinks much better.
The first time we visited Wings Etc was during a big game night. Buffalo Wild Wings was completely packed, so we continued down the road a bit to try this other place which ended up having a few open tables and spots at the bar. Life is full of strange mysteries; among them I add «Why will people wait thirty minutes for mediocre wings at BWW when there’s Wings Etc a half-​mile down the road with better food and better service?» I really can’t answer that, but at least I won’t count myself among the people who make that sorry mistake.

Wings and drum sticks were big but, drummies are very tough and tasteless.
Wife said medium sauce was no spicier than butter, my medium/​hot were not hot at all. These wings were literally bathing in 4oz of sauce, why??? First time eating here=last time eating here.
Can see why everyone says stay away. Not worth the money!

We ordered takeout from here tonight. Our first time trying it and the food was amazing! We ordered 16 wings, 6 boneless, and fries. We asked for the wings to have the sauce on the side. When my husband picked up the food and got home we realized they forgot to put some of the wing sauces in there. I was immediately disappointed, but when I called I was taken back by how great customer service was! I spoke with a guy named John who was extremely apologetic and professional. When I drove back to get the sauces he had made an entire new batch of fresh food so that our original order wasn’t cold when we got home! We now have enough food for 2 meals and he even gave us an additional 10 dollar gift certificate to bring us back in. You don’t find good customer service like this these days. The wings and fries were all super fresh, crispy, and had great flavor. The sauces were great too! We usually eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, but the quality and taste at Wings Etc. far outweighs BWW’s. We will definitely be back again soon!

My go to spot for wings in Fort Wayne, recently overtaking BWWS. Service is always fast and friendly. Bartender always fun to talk to when its not busy. The TNT and Me-​So-​Spicy wings are fantastic if you can handle the heat. I’m not sure why more people don’t come here, its clearly better (in my mind) than bwws in every aspect, save for the ridiculous number of tvs. (And they do have plenty!) Great place to hangout, and on this particular trip we didn’t even eat, just stopped for drinks! Whether it’s drink specials or a craving for wings, wings etc is on my top list of «go tos» in the Fort Wayne area.

My wings and curly fries were delicious. I felt satisfied after I ate. I ordered the hot buffalo traditional and boneless me-​so-​spicy. It was an addictive heat. My girlfriend got garlic parm traditional wings and mild. She didn’t care for the garlic parm.

A pretty big disappointment. Food is OK. But the waitress is too unwelcoming…

Went on monday 49 cent wing night and they are by far the best in town. Large wing drums, good sauce great wait staff very good beer specials.
Will be a frequent visitor to this place.

Wow! I was really surprised by Wings Etc. I was expecting average wings and I got amazing wings.
They have a sauce selection comparable to BWW, but the chicken is higher quality, and the sauce tastes better. I go to BWW on a weekly basis in Indy, but I will crave Wings Etc until I get back up to Fort Wayne. Plus, you can’t beat the fried veggies.

They have a good selection of appetizers. I am a big fan of their grilled chicken wraps. They have a lot of flavor and of course you get to pick your sauce. The wings could be better. They don’t seem to have as much meat on them as other wing places, but that probably means they are pumped with less hormones. They have a good selection of different sauces to try. The service has been a little iffy, when they are busy it seems like they don’t have enough servers on to handle the number of tables they have. You can’t fault the servers for being overloaded, that’s more of a management issue.

Its a wing joint done right! My family and I used to go to Buffalo Wild Wings bi-weekly…no more! Wings Etc. has taken over as our new Tuesday night haunt. It is always clean and inviting. Wings are large and typically perfectly cooked (turnover of the kitchen staff can make it slightly inconsistent, but never to the point I would go to Buffalo Wild Wings instead)…an the best part is… no waiting in line. You can usually just go in and sit down.
So why only 4 stars? Because that’s the highest rating I’ll give to a restaurant that doesn’t have raw oysters, sushi, Kobe beef or grilled swordfish/​shark/​grouper on the menu. It’s pub-​grub. Not exactly fine dining… but it’s great for what it is. Hooters sucked, Buffalo Wild Wings is overhyped like a Kanye West album, and the rest of the local wing joints are 21+ only, no family dining. This place is a great fit for us, give it a shot. Oh, the ribs are pretty awesome… and kids eat free on Tuesdays.

Tried this place for a carry out meal. Our wings and ribs were great and made it home hot and fresh tasting.
We sampled the TNT and Hot sauces which provided a spicy and very flavorful wing. The ribs were meaty and messy.
Can’t comment on service other than it was quick and easy to do the carry out process.
