Great local pub offering award winning service, wings, burgers, ribs, coldest beer and so much more!! Exclusively on Skip the Dishes.
We had lunch at the Crooked Uncle today. I had the Angry Uncle burger with a side bowl of chicken soup. My husband had the Black and Blue burger with fries. Our server Jaye was amazing. She was friendly and attentive, and provided excellent service. Our food was all delicious. We shared each other's burgers, and both were so yummy. I highly recommend those burgers. A big thank you to Jaye!!! We will definitely be back.
Decided to visit after hearing so many wonderful reviews about it being the best Wing Spot in all of Durham region and it did not disappoint. I got takeout however the service was exceptional, the portions were very generous, and the quality and taste of the Wings. Glad I stopped by!
The wings here are good, not the best I have had. My gf and I came here today as she lives in the area and neither of us have been here though have heard good things about their wings… The carrots that came with the wings were smelly slimy, and a bit rubbery so unfortunately we tossed them the garbage. The 3 stars is because the kitchen staff is sending out rotten veggies 🥕 the server lady was really nice.
Stopped in for lunch on our drive over to visit some family. Had the daily special (fish tacos) along with some fried cheesecake. Everything was delicious and service was also great!
Heard a lot about this place but haven't had a chance to try it. Grabbed some wings on the way home. They were fresh and a decent amount, but drier than I would usually enjoy. Might be because it was takeout. Lady at the bar was lovely, though. Very sweet. Looks like a busy spot. Lots of parking.
Good place, We liked the food and service. Pulled pork Sandwich and Lamb Burger were awesome also Crooked Wings. Kelly was great.
Stopped by this place to grab some wings on special and based on the hype it had for best wings I tried to give it a shot. Unfortunately this place for wings fell really short. I felt like the many people fall in love for the “value” just basing their reviews on the value (size and price). But in terms of best wings, I think they are not..still prefer wings from no cap wings a bit pricer but better quality imo. Unfortunately these wings felt like they were too big and the chicken didn’t have the normal consistency maybe because they were too big, but to each their own. The crooked sauces for the wings was def the highlight here but unfortunately the place didn’t seem welcoming and the wings didn’t hold up to the best wings in this area. 3/5 ⭐️
By far the best wings! My husband and I go here often. Really friendly staff & a great place to chill and watch the game with a nice cold beer. We do miss the barrel of peanuts but completely understand why they've been removed. Maybe you guys could bring them back and serve individual baskets? Just a thought. Still a big fan of crooked and will visit often! 🍗❤️🍻
Family vibe, food is always as expected. You will never be disappointed if you go here. All the servers are attentive. Grey spot to catch hockey games and football games.
Noisy and crowded, but thats what you get at a good pub with great food.
Best wings
Great prime rib and fabulous service!
Heard a lot about this place its all hype I can say. Orded a couple pound of wings and they came out to be not cooked properly and also low on sauce, plus the lady named Lisa is to loud I guess she wasnt sober at workplace. I felt like waste of money and time but the lady at the front was friendly. Avoid this place !
Staff is super friendly and very quick. It was jammed the night we went and the waitress was very attentive
BEST WINGS EVER. Service? Impeccable. Atmosphere? AWESOME. generally a good place to go if your looking for good food, good convo, and great drinks Food
Best wings and service in Durham hands down.
Always quick service! Amazing wings. If you like hot wings try the Forget about it sauce!! If you want hot but manageable try Forget about it mixed with Forty creek bbq sauce. Really good blend of flavor mixed with a nice punch of spicy.
Staff is slightly spread a bit thin, but their amazing personalities and ability to do their job as they do more than makes up for it. Wings are fantastic, well worth the price.
Excellent Food and drinks, most importantly very welcoming staff and owners!!
I have begun to be a regular here and I will always keep coming back. I absolutely love the food and the people!
They make great wings!
All was excellent, I highly recommend it. Will certainly return.
So, today we went in and tried this cool hidden gem, I read great reviews and we are wing lovers, and our daughter was celebrating her 19th Birthday this place was awesome and Kelly is exactly as wonderful as the reviews had said she is a gem and the amazing cook in the back has the best smile great food happy people outstanding customer service, price was best weve seen so far, Well worth the stop. And a personal Thank you to Kelly for making it so awesome and special. Please make sure Kelly reads these. Thank you, Tammy.
Great food, great service, bars is kinda small but over all great experience. Awesome wings!!!!
Fantastic wings. Best in this area
Loved the wings and the deep fried cheese cake
Its good
First visit to The Crooked Uncle. Wont be the last. Staff were super friendly and the wings were amazing. Very very busy but that is a good thing for them.
Absolutely amazing place . The food is top notch the service is on point and everyone is soo friendly. Seriously the BEST nachos I have ever had.
First time there wings were good and the service was great Parking: Not a big parking lot not much to say about it again first time there Food : 4/5 |
Easily the best place in Oshawa for wings. I ve seen some people say that it s rated high just for the value but these are genuinely the best wings I ve ever had. Try the suicide! Hot for course but the sauce has amazing flavour. Eat here. Drink beer. Make some friends. Repeat. Can t say enough good things. Owner is friendly. Staff is friendly. People are friendly.
We had a party of 15, and the food, service, waitresses, were awesome. The prices were amazing. We will be going back again. It seems to very well liked by our family. We came a fair ways from Brampton, Havelock and Castleton. Thank you awesome staff. Kid-friendliness: They had boosters seats, table was all set up. We will suggest this place, and be back. Thank you Chapman and Bremner family.
On a self-appointed quest to perpetually find a great pound of wings, The Crooked Uncle does not disappoint. I was reluctant over the years out of fear that the wings wouldnt would live up to the hype but they most certainly do! A pound of Apocalypse wings with a side of Forget about it 100% did the trick and was absolutely delicious! The Crooked Uncle has certainly worked its way into the rotation. One of the top spots in Durham if youre looking for, if not in contention as the premier spot for a pound and a pint.
The wings came highly recommended and they lived up to the hype
This place is amazing, the food is sooo god the servers are super nice and everyone is always laughing and having a good time!! 100% would recommend going here.
Excellent place
Good food. Good service.
Beyond 5 stars for Jodi, she is super awesome in taking care of everyone coming to Crooked uncle...for me it was a regular visit, but she ensured that everything goes well from drinks to wings...(super awesome wings)...super duper place with amazing service....star of Visit...Jodi.
Great wings fantastic service. Cant ask more than that .
Best wings Ive had in years and reasonable prices. cant recommend enough
Small restaurant but for us definitely a diamond in the rough! Were not from Oshawa just happened to come across the Crooked Uncle on Google...but when I phoned to ask about food allergies I was greeted by the most lovely welcoming employee! She was able to answer our questions on the phone and we LOVED having Kelly as our waitress! It was a bit early on Saturday for us to be able to have the Prime Rib dinner but all 4 of us LOVED our food! No pics be ause we were hungry but the table was quiet, no complaints! Small, clean and friendly little spot for a great meal! Dietary restrictions: Able to adjust dishes and knowledgeable about allergens
Wonderful food, great people, amazing owner
Honestly the wings here are really great. If you are a wing lover and dont mind paying for a premium product, this is a worthwhile stop. ~$40 for 3lbs, which is a large portion. Their buffalo sauce is spot on, really rare to find that around here.
CHEERS Best wings anywhere!!! ; try the Crooked sauce, amp it up with suicide or Thai. FORGET ABOUT IT is truly deadly. Friendliest bar/restaurant
Amazing wings! The wait was a little long but that happens when a fryer goes down. I will be going back again soon and wouldn t think twice about recommending it. The parking lot is a little tight so be prepared for that. Parking: Close location a little tight.
Excellent establishment! Outstanding staff! Knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Food is 10/10 but the wings are simply amazing! You will love everything about the Crooked Uncle!
The best wings ever!!!!
Wooo-eeeee! They got some wicked good wings!
Very busy but service was great and food was too
The pulled pork sandwich is great! Fries are great too. The burger was ok. Could use some more herbs and spice flavour but if you just want a regular burger then go for it! Super nice staff.
Its all about the wings! Beat in Oshawa.
Their prime rib was amazing! Hot horseradish you dont need a lot, but so darn good.
I gotta say this is an amazing place. The bartender/waitress was friendly, fun, and the place was very welcoming and thats just the atmosphere. The wings omg the wings were sooooooo good. Kaylee was the waitress and she was awesome. Thank you for the experience, Im definitely coming back.
Great food. Friendly staff. Slow service. Small portions
Lunch today with a couple of friends. Excellent service, good food....our server Jaye was so friendly. Very nice place will definitely go back.
Great staff!
We drove from Pickering to try their Award Winning wings, and Im so glad we did! 8 huge wings per pound that were so juicy and sauced to perfection. Our waitress Jaye really knew her stuff and treated everyone like family. Even the chef Lisa came to our table to make sure everything was perfect. Well definitely be back
Ive been going for years and have never had a bad meal or bad service! It was my bfs first trip there, and he LOVED it too! We will be back for sure :)
Amazing food, amazing service, and a really great atmosphere. Everyone seems happy and the employees make you feel at home. Incredible experience. If I could give it a 6/5 I would ve
Besides the fact that the beer is ice cold, the food is amazing! I ve been going for years and have never had a bad experience or bad service. Some of the friendliest staff I ve come across. So many items on the menu are great! The wings are top notch . BUT, my new favourite has got to be their classic burger (my mouth is watering thinking about it!). Pair that with their sweet potato fries You ll thank me later Dietary restrictions: I have a picky stomach and the kitchen will always accommodate for me, which is typically an issue when I go somewhere. Kid-friendliness: The owners and staff go out of their way to make the kids feel welcome as well.
Im consistently pleased with Uncles. The waitstaff are always friendly. Im pretty particular about how I like my wings (I like them the proper way) and The Crooked Uncle does them right. Im not big on breaded wings and Uncles has a naked option and they cook their wings from raw. Any bar that precooks their wings shouldnt be selling wings. Unfortunately, Im seeing that more and more in the Oshawa area. The chef here is a bone fide chef with experience. The food she makes is good. I like that the menu isnt huge and trying to be too many things to too many people. I dont think they serve much, if anything, that isnt made from scratch. I dont always like everything that comes out of the kitchen but I do appreciate the effort and I recognize the skills. The food here is well prepared and its done right. And I do keep going back.
Always, excellent food and service. Wheelchair accessibility: The staff were very excellent, making sure that I made it in and out through the doors safely, and making sure I was comfortable. Food : 5/5 |
Great place. Great staff. Great owners. Great food.
Great wings
Jennifer is an awesome server. Great wing recommendations. Food is very.good. great atmosphere
Came just for the Chicken wings and after 7 lb it didnt disappoint at all. Great taste, texture and crispness was on point. Great selection on flavors and dip sauces. Love the Maple Bacon wings. We will be back !!!
Havent had a bad drink here. Plus, keep an eye out for Waldo, hes definitely hiding somewhere in there.
Good food, good service, and the best wings in Oshawa.
Most pleasant experiences Hi ever had with loyal staff and owners. One great big family
Excellent staff and owner, excellent service, excellent food and excellent atmosphere EVERY SINGLE TIME. I hate to let the word out, but if youre looking for a relaxed and friendly place to have the best pint of beer in town, then youve just found it.
This is a great local bar, all the staff try to remember everyone s names, the servers are all ridiculously friendly, it s a very welcoming atmosphere. I grabbed a pound of Thai and a pound of Dry Cajun to go today. Both were extremely good, Lisa knows what she s doing. I m also pretty sure there are a whole bunch of daytime regulars that have a very unhealthy crush on Jennifer .lol Highly recommended!
Great service with the best wings around. Good choice of beer but could serve more craft beer as all places should.
Called to place an order for dinner and their website says open but after talking to an employee, they said closed for a private party and not serving the public. Recording in the phone says open 7 days a week as well but not open at the same time
Food was great waitress was too busy having conversations too help with anything . Everything took super long due to her talking
The food drinks and atmosphere was on poi t we will definitely be there again
Wings here are so overrated. Someone must spend endless hours voting for these in a local contest for best wings. Seriously these are average at best. Service is okay. Fooled by the hype once but one and done here.
Food
Great service delicious wings, fried calamari and wings!!
Great venue also has Buzztime (NTN)
What a great local pub. It was awesome.
Good selection of craft beers was great to find!
Friendly staff good food.
Service was great and beer nice and cold. Food just okay. We had wings, fries, and taqitos. Food
Great food and service. Best wings around.
The wings are worth driving 2 hours for and I do.
I drove 4 hours for the ribs. Worth it.
Great wings! We like grilled Texas BBQ with Buffalo Butter on the side.
A colleague recommended this place. They were completely right. The wings are awesome. Havent tried anything else. Dont plan on it. They are worth dropping in just for them
Perfect
Went for a late dinner Sunday night wings are awesome. Will definitely go back!
Interesting little place. Seems to always be busy so theyre doing something right. Decent menu of pub grub. Fun staff.
Had a great time with a slightly larger group of friends who are regulars. The service was great and the food was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit!
The best neighborhood bar. I visit at least 3 or4 times per month. Simple menu but good food. I go for the Guinness on draft and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Very friendly patrons and welcoming staff.
Small but fantastic food!!
Always great people and food at the Uncle
Place had great wings, the service was a tad bit slow but the girls made it up by being very nice and welcoming.
The place is amazing. The staffs are extremely friendly esp Kristen. If you go there please let her know how sweet and kind she is. The wings were mind blowing.
The best wings!
Wings were fantastic. And the sauce was amazing. Always looking for a good wing spot. Now I have found one.
have never felt inclined to leave a review but my bf and I were craving wings and saw this place had good reviews. Chicken hit the spot 100%. Staff are super friendly too!!
Best wings and great service from Jodie. Well be back!
Best wings Ive ever had! Service is amazing.
The best wings in Ontario !
Wings were great
The food is incredible. Best wings you ll ever have, and the prime rib is a game changer. Amazing staff and owners, this is an all-around feel good spot. You should definitely check it out.
Superb wings! I had the sweet chili wings with carrots and blue cheese dip. Also a half pint of Guinness! I loved this little establishment! I will be back!
The best chicken wings in Oshawa!!
The Saturday night prime rib is delicious! The service was great. I preferred the meal at the Crooked over the Keg.
all I got was attitude
Been meaning for awhile to try the wings here got a little carried away and ordered 10lbs But support your local Businesses right!And so glad I did.Now I see why everyone one says there the best in Durham so much flavor great size will definitely be coming back.Cant wait to try some other items on there menu that Ive heard about iam sure I wont be disappointed.
Forgot I went here a couple months ago but the wings were just mind blowingly amazing!! Can t wait until I m around again to drop by for some more
The staff are doing their best to provide take out in a timely manner during these challenging times. Their food is excellent and worth any delay. We enjoy dining in when able as the staff is very friendly and efficient. Glad to see 7 people waiting for their take out tonight. Great support for this small business. During the extended delay last year, they even offered us a frequent flyer discount on our weekly Friday orders! Class act.
5 lb platter of wings. Great wing flavours and the wings are huge. Check this place out!
Favourite place for wings in the GTA. I would recommend this place to anyone, its always a great experience at the Crooked Uncle.
They have the best wings, with great flavours to choose from. The staff are great. I highly recommend you give them a try. You will go back...
Recommend the wings! Staff are great
Awesome food and great service ! They have fantastic wings and prime rib ! The drinks are affordable
Amazing food and great service. We heard about this place from a Durhameats blog and had to come try it. Weve had wings all over durham and this is officially our new fav place! We had wings and chicken fingers that were delicious. The calamari was okay but kind of bland. For dessert we had the deep fried mars bar, we were soo full but im sure i could have eaten 10 of those. Our server Jessica was great! She was super friendly from the moment we came in. Will be bringing the rest of our family to this spot!
Good ribs and chicken wings!
great food. friendly wait staff
Had lunch here today & it was wing day....had Crooked & they were awesome. Its been 7 yrs since Ive been back in Oshawa & boy do I miss my Crooked Uncle wings.....please open a restaurant up in Trenton pretty plz. If you havent been here you gotta pop in & have their wings.....absolutely awesome Keep up the great work, keep serving great food & providing excellent service. Take care
Best, just the best.
I used to be all for the Waltzing weasel for the wings. Then the owner changed as did the food, and after hearing him talk to his employees. Well I tried the Crooked Uncle, Ive been eating wings a very long time. I travel a lot so a lot of places. The Uncle has the best wings hands down and is the only place I will buy them now.
Wings were not at all good and had literally no sauce
Amazing wings
Went out Saturday night with my daughter for the prime rib special!! What a great meal and friendly staff. Definitely will be going back again
Always great food and service
Best. Wings. In. Town.
Hands down best wings in Durham, theyre big and juicy and the price is right.
Best wings in Oshawa
Absolutely one place if you havent visited in Oshawa you have to try! When I speak to people who know this gem say its the number one place in the area for wings! Its true too. They have an incredible Saturday night Prime Rib special thats out of this world good!! This Prime Rib dinner can compete with any fine dining establishment around!! Overall a great Atmosphere with a menu of great food and drink! You gotta check this place out!
Best wings in Oshawa! Wish they were in North Bay so wouldnt have to drive so far.
Went for the wings and was very disappointed. Heard great things about the wings but was disappointed
Honestly the best wings. Not up for discussion. Been to hundreds of places over the years, but when Im in Oshawa - its always here. Consistently great wings.
Best wings.Friendly staff.Small place with excellent food in Oshawa
Good service
Ive heard a LOT of great things about this place for years, and finally went with a few friends for what Ive been told are great wings and a few drinks. The wings were good in size and not heavily breaded but were pretty dry/overcooked. Our server was sporadically attentive and seemed to be more concerned with doing shots with a few of the other patrons. Sadly, The Crooked Uncle did not live up to the hype.
Great chicken wings........nuff said
Tried the Crooked Uncle for the 1st time today. We were very pleased. Our waitress (Jay I think) was very friendly and attentive. The owner introduced himself and very honestly admitted there was a little mistake with our nachos, so it was being redone, and he reduced our bill more than we expected, and even though we hadnt complained. The food was good, drinks cold, and service great. We will definitely be returning!
Always great service.
Nice to customize customer customers.
Great food and the best atmosphere!
Great wait staff. Wings were delish and succulent.
Busy, we were well taken care of! You should go!
Best wings in Durham? Its a sad day for Durham then.
Awesome wings.
Love everyone at Crooked! All the ladies there are a blast to be around and they are fun to be and the customers as well! Love going there alone for a drink after a long day.. #crookedforlife
Really enjoyed our dinner. Prime Rib with all the trimmings was great. Rib wing combo was great too. Well be back Parking: Ample parking
Always good. Best wings and the beef dip is amazing!
Service was great. The wings were delicious and they were for lunch the next day too. Best wings I have had in a long time.
The best wings
First time today going and was very very happy we did. Jenn (was name on the receipt) was prob the friendliest server I have had in a long time, made the experience that much better. Had wings and poutine and a couple of pints all very good. Beer selection was OK nothing crazy but definitely we will be going back. Prices are reasonable as well
First time ordering pub grub, hit the spot! Staff was amazing. I ll be back no question
Wings are best in town, tonight we had the prime rib dinner, absolutely spectacular. Thx Ted, Greg and Lisa. Parking: Not much to say, park your car and go in for a pound and a pint. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in on cutout sidewalk.
Always a greet experience at crooked! We go often the owner and Jodi make the experience amazing !!!!
Amazing wings. And prime Rib on Saturdays is back. Yum
Best pub in Oshawa. Great food , staff and owners.
Best wings ever! Food awesome. Service awesome!! Love this place. Thank you again!
Wings are awsome especially the tequila and lime.Service is always great and fun.
Suicide wings are amazing. Staff is awesome, and friendly. This place gets busy fast and for a good reason!!
Had to try the wings here having heard so much about them.I was not disappointed,they were easily some of the best id ever tasted and ive been a wing junkie for a long time.Also pleased with the Guiness well kept and smooth. The Crooked Uncle is a warm and friendly place and due to the owner refusing to tell me how the wings are cooked and the ingredients in their fantastic crookeddip i shall be returning soon,cheers.
Great friendly atmosphere
Always stop when I am town. Best wings and staff!!!!
