Interesting visit. We were served immediately by a lovely young lady named Candace. She was friendly and conscientious and always came to the table with a smile, despite being what I would call bullied by a gentleman in a turban. I observed this man being rude to her. I was shocked. When she returned to our table, I asked her who he was, and she stated he was the boss. Yikes! I'm not sure how this person retains staff with the way he treats them. The food was good, and my son ate the pickles appy and both the Jakarta Heat wings and the Bobby wings. Though he had to sign a waiver, he ate the entire order without a problem. They're not as hot as the menu makes them seem. I had one, too. Regardless of the heat, they're very tasty. Often, heat replaces flavor, but not these. These were really hot with lots of flavor. For an appy, I got the spinach dip. It was piping hot and flavorful. I also ordered a dual flavor order of wings with Louisiana Sweet and Fiji Flame. They were both really tasty. The appies were bigger than expected, so I had to take most of my wings home. Candace was an exceptional server. I hope she is appreciated more by the "boss," and he stops bullying the staff. Seems like a toxic workplace. It left uncomfortable and with a really bad impression. I won't be back for that reason. Candace is the only reason I give this place any stars at all. Good luck Candace, you're going to need it to work with a guy like that. Yuck.

I read the review that Karen wrote about Beverly and I have to say Karen truly shows she knows nothing about Beverly and or being a server. Not only has Beverly served me but she is a trooper, an example to all servers. I watch her work the room paying close attention to everything that is going on. She never missed a beat all while maintaining a smile making everyone smile at the same time. Wings is the place to be and as all the servers are top shelf Beverly is the shelf holding everything up with a great personality and inviting smile.

Modern and new place, with plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sport in the best way. The wings were good, although I would have preferred them a bit softer and with a small side dish, but still a good dinner. The price was absolutely average.

1st time in this establishment. We were very pleased with the large selection to choose from. Lots of wing flavors, hard to decide. Fish and chips were incredible. Lots of both. The parm fries...omg so scrumptious. Our server was attentive and the food came in good time. Hot and tasty. We will return.

The buffalo wings could have been a little more sauced. Otherwise, the food and service were great!

Wings were pretty good, and kids' meals (2 small chicken strips) were overcooked, fries were good, and kids' meals included a dessert. Service was ok. Staff seemed nice and welcoming, but our server was forgetful and walked away while I was talking to her. I understand that there's lots going on when you're serving multiple tables, but you shouldn't walk away from a customer who is asking questions.

Me and my partner went here one Saturday evening. We got seated quick, our waitress Beverley was awesome and very attentive. I ordered the short ribs Mac and cheese but it was not what I expected. It was more like a cheesy soup with little pasta in it and the short ribs were in a thick gravy that was poured over it which just turned it into a cheesy slop. I did have to unfortunately send it back but Beverley was quick to attend to me and took it off the cheque which I appreciate because I normally would never send things back. My partner has the wings and they were plentiful and delicious. Drinks were good and at a reasonable price.

Great experience over the past few weeks with my neighbor friend. Elisabeth had Wings, of course, and a Pasta special the latest visit. We had a small concern the first visit, and the friendly and helpful manager/owner,Alto sp., was, and is a pleasure to speak with. (When he has a moment). Nice atmosphere inside, and I can't wait to get onto the Patio, with lots of seating and space. I'm positive that it's a popular destination for the Penticton River Floating. Especially if you time your visit with the Special local Beers 🍺. This location is going to be more and more popular, considering the amount of new Condo and Townhomes along and around Riverside Dr...

If you ve ever wondered what it feels like to be ghosted in a restaurant, head over to Wings in Penticton. We sat outside so long, I started to wonder if I d accidentally become part of a social experiment on human patience. Our waitress was apparently on a personal mission to ignore us. She wandered past us so many times, I thought we d been cast in a live-action game of Where s Waldo? . After playing a seemingly eternal game of hide and seek with us, she finally took our order. Our food arrived on a plate that looked like it had just survived a bar brawl. I guess they thought adding a little danger to our meal would spice things up. Ever tried eating wings while wondering if your next bite might include a shard of ceramic? It s a real thrill, let me tell you. In short, if you re looking for a restaurant where the service is as broken as the dishes, Wings in Penticton is your go-to. For everyone else, save yourself the trouble and just stay home you ll get better service from your microwave.

August 22, 2024

Went in opening day. Had 2 families to sit at 2 different tables side by side and they would not honor there opening day deal because we showed up together. Then when we questioned them about it our server was right down rude and told us to Read the fine print. Lmao. We did. So after the rude treatment we left and never ate there. Good way to treat your customers on opening day.

Been to wings a handful of times, I usually bring different friends in each time to allow them to experience somewhere new in Penticton. Beverly is an awesome server, she is so good with kids. The broccoli cheddar soup is my all time fav, I ask for all flats for my wings and my favourite are honey hot! The hot challenge is also pretty cool there (had a buddy do it) it s a fun sports bar try their $5 pint of Fiji beer it s light but nice and refreshing!

Food is mediocre; have tried several of their items and was never blown away. It s fine food but nothing super great. Service however is horrible. Every waitress my friends and I have had was rude, neglecting our table so we waited 30 minutes to place an order while we watched other tables get served multiple times , forgetting our order where we had to ask several times for something, and being short and snippy with us. If it wasn t for trivia we would not go back. Especially after last night, are looking elsewhere to go. Shame cause we are always a big group so they just lost a chunk of business.

Took way too long to have my waitress come to the table to order. Then after waiting forever, the wings took 35 minutes to come to my table? Which made me avoid ordering anything else. Management should look into the attitude on some of the servers as well. When a paying customer says thank you, you make sure to say your welcome. Not just walk away and not care to ask if I need more water or anything. Pretty upset with everything that took place here last night when I just wanted a decent meal. Won t be back.

We went there with a group of 14 last Friday night, we had made reservations in advance and our table was ready and waiting. This was my third time there. Our server was Beverly who was awesome as always. The service was friendly and quick and Beverly knew the menu well to answer our questions. Our group was all very happy with our meals, which varied from wings to salads and pastas. No one had anything negative to say. The food was hot, with good portions. I have had their boneless Wingerz twice now, I really liked them, and I am also a big fan of their yam fries as they seem to be able to make them crispy. I will definitely be going back again !!

Ordered this location by uber. Carrot cake boasting delicious cream cheese icing etc. it was the unusually tiny for unusually expensive price, was honestly just disgusting. And they poured chocolate sauce on it. The buffalo wings had barely any buffalo sauce or flavour . Tasted like chicken nuggets. Spend $60 on a late snack and barely ate it. Pickles were good. Dips I ordered were not the right ones. Just not recommending this at all.

Tonight was the first time I ate here. I had an order of sweet chili lime wings and they were vary tasty I also had the pan nachos, they were so delicious! My only issue is the extremely small quantity of salsa it was enough for about 2 chips. Other than that I will definitely be eating here again.... and again.... and again.

Was treated to Wings for my bd dinner, it was on a Wednesday ($12 wing night) approximately 5pm..not as busy as I suspected. Karling was our amazing server, very accommodating as I have allergies. When mentioned to her that it was my bd she went to the back to check ingredients & all of the desserts contained allergens she said let me see what I can do minutes later she appears with a glass of whipping cream( my favorite), a lit candle & sang Happy birthday..Beverly accompanied her. She also told me that my dinner was on the house..much to my surprise! I had my usual dill pickle wings..so very delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Thank you for making our evening enjoyable & the birthday wishes very much appreciated. Will definitely recommend to others.

I have been here a few times, and not really impressed. Other Wings franchises I have been to are much better. Our server was a lovely lady, but our food was brought out luke warm, there were only 3 other tables at the time. No salt and pepper on the table???? And the salt is in a regular shaker but is a salt that needs grinding, so just large chunks of salt on your food. Not sure Ill go back. Its too bad because I know the franchise normally has good wings.

Ok,ordered chicken alfredo pasta. Partner ordered macaroni/bacon cheese bake. No salt and pepper on table. Had to ask for not sure what is up with that. Got our food,they left the chicken off my pasta. Partners portions were small. After consulting server about lack of chicken, finally got it. Microwaved chicken,in a bowl. By this time,pasta cold/gross. Overpriced by far/portions small. Go somewhere else.

I tried to order online for pickup. Its not working yet. I showed up in person and ordered. Good waitress. She told me it would be 15 to 20 minutes. I paid, but said I would hold the tip until I got my food. 15 minutes to the second I got my food and reciept so I tipped 20%. I drove 2 minutes home and opened up the food. Wings box and contents was cold. Wings were tasty but cold. The zoosticks and box were hot but currently the are serving deep fried pickles instead of zucchini. Its their first week and I hope they work out the bugs. Lots of potential, but not there yet Parking: 9 in front of restaurant

Went into Wings on a Friday night at 9:20 for quick pound wings and beer knowing they close at 10. Sign was still on saying open, walked in and was told last call was already done and kitchen is closed. I understand if this was a Tuesday-Thursday but a Friday night. Not good

Three of us went yesterday for dinner. 2 of us ordered wings and were happy with them. Tasty and done well. HOWEVER! my husband ordered poutine fries with cheese and pulled pork. It was $18.50 for that order. 3.00 just for the cheese. There was hardly any pork and wasnt very flavorful. He was disappointed, and it certainly wasnt worth that dollar amount. Plus side...Our server was good and we got our order in a timely fashion.

December 22, 2023

My husband and I went for dinner there tonight. We did not order Wings we ordered the club house and beef dip. Both were disgusting. The clubhouse was on 2x pieces of bread, the bacon was barely cooked and there was so much garlic aioli on it you couldnt taste anything else. The beef dip was flavorless, the meat was stringy and tough and again all you could taste was the garlic aioli. The au jus had no taste, it was very watery. Our bill was $60 for this ( the portions were super small for the price too) will not be returning.

If I could post no stars for the food and service I would have. Went 3 times giving chances for better food and service. Arrived and was served water with food in it......waited 40 mins for another water. Only to get one that had a straw in it that looked like it was chewed on. Brought soup out to me that had a thick film on the surface clearly from sitting under a heat lamp for far too long, didnt eat it and sent it back only to find it on the bill. Lol. NEVER going back.

So to start im not a racist person but some cultures should not own a bar a grill if the owners have to google how to make drinks and staff cant make a drink lmfao as a business owner i would do my homework before taking on a nice company and staff should just say i started three days ago and none of the staff are bar tenders then try to wing it then charge way to much as seen in pics. The food was good service was slow af for both food and drinks and was not busy ,i even offered to make the drinks to help!

December 22, 2023

I think this place is fairly new and may need time to adjust/work out the kinks. I don t recommend the chicken club, the chicken breast is a super thinly sliced piece off a whole chicken breast super greasy too. Kind of pricey for what you get. Service was okay. Would recommend going to the station pub instead.

Ordered thru Door Dash a couple times. Mac and cheese was super, beef dip came without the dip, very disappointed. Could only do half. The missing au jus ruined it for me. Tonight I want to order nachos. Only problem is it doesnt give the option for no jalapenos or to order extra salsa and sour cream. Ill try somewhere else.

The service was pretty decent, but the chicken wings were absolutely horrible! The flavours were nice, but the quality of the actual chicken wing itself was less than substandard. Most of the chicken wings were oddly shaped and the rest were overly fatty. I would have expected a high-quality product, especially when the company name is WINGS! Won t be back
