My hubby and I went here for supper recently. We decided to give it a try since it is so close to our house and we walked past it every day. We also like the fact that it is open very late most nights, so if we get a late night craving we can walk on over or order snacks to be delivered or picked up as takeout! They are fully licensed which my husband likes; he ordered a bottle of Miller Genuine Draft & I had a bottle of Mountain Dew. Then we ordered a variety of different foods; for our 1st order of boneless wings we tried a delicious sauce which was described in the menu as being a combination of sweet Thai chili & BBQ with a bit of heat. The wings were breaded in a perfectly crunchy batter and very well drenched in sauce. For our 2nd order of boneless wings we had chosen a more traditional flavour of honey garlic which was also very tasty and the wings were perfectly breaded and well covered in sauce. We also ordered mozzarella sticks and jalapeño poppers which were fairly unremarkable but were served to us pleasantly hot and perfectly cooked and were accompanied by a marinara sauce for the mozzarella sticks and a fresh & tasty tzatziki sauce which elevated the simple diner style food. The restaurants decor led almost to a 50’s diner type feeling with glossy black bench style seating and red paper tablecloth’s. And when our waitress served us our food it came in red baskets with a plaid print paper liner, and everything was served with plastic cutlery and disposable ketchup packets, paper napkins and salt and pepper packets. It probably wouldn’t have been my first choice but it actually really worked with the decor and feel of the place! All of the food was very tasty, fresh and hot, perfectly cooked well drenched in sauces and accompanied with dips, really there was nothing that had us feeling like we needed to ask for more sauce, or an extra side of dip, everything seemed perfectly complete as it comes straight from the menu! Now... here is the best part.... my hubby and I ate ALMOST everything we had ordered, and we were so full we couldn’t even consider dessert, although I will confess that their ’deep fried Mars bar’ is definitely 1 of the items on our takeout order for this afternoon lol... and when we got our bill we were shocked at how inexpensive everything is!! Even with an alcoholic beverage, adding on a large (30%) tip and all charges and taxes in it cost us less than forty bucks!! Here’s a little sidebar rant: I worked as a waitress and a lot of people are unaware that in licensed establishments the employers can legally pay their servers LESS than minimum wage, and besides that, at the end of my shift, I had to payout 6% (non-negotiable) of each bills gross total to be split between the buskers and the cooks....even if I wasn’t tipped on every bill... so I sometimes had to pay the buskers and cooks their 6% out of my own pocket if I had a bad tipper or a dine n dash!!! So I know from experience how crucial those tips can be! Please people, DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON TIPPING YOUR SERVERS!!)) ANYWAYS LOL... their prices are fantastic, their facility is immaculate, their service is fantastic, the food is delicious and perfectly cooked, their wait time is next to nothing.... Both my husband and I wholeheartedly give them 2 thumbs up and a well deserved 5 stars!! Thanks Big Wings, we are your newest regulars and some of your biggest fans! Now I need to wrap this up so I can phone in our takeout order..... yummy it’s almost...
Read moreWorst service I've ever recieved at a restaurant. I've eaten at this restaurant many times. I have been in the restaurant at 11pm, and been the only customers in the restaurant, and it's taken up to 20 minutes to even get menus, let alone out food. Recently, the experience had got even more aggravating. Big Wings Moose Jaw set a local rule banning people under the age of 18 from dining in at all hours, despite the legal drinking age in Saskatchewan being 19. Once I tuned 18, I returned to the restaurant with my friends and dined there several times, while the staff were very inconsistent with checking for ID each visit. Tonight was certainly the worst experience yet. My friends and I entered the restaurant about 9:30pm, and asked to dine in as usual. We were asked to present ID, and the usual server I've had the last few times stated that we had to be 18 to dine in. Upon showing my ID, the server stated that I wasn't allowed to dine in becuase I wasn't 19, in complete contrast to her ealier statement, and the usual Big Wings "policy" which isn't written or posted anywhere. As my friends and I were discussing our next move, we saw a family of 4, two parents and their young children come in and take a seat without any difficulty or harrassment. Upon seeing this, my friends and I left, and went to Boston Pizza instead.
In summary, this restaurant and its incompetent server/receptionist are not worth your money. They are discriminant against age, perhaps even just teenagers in general. They have shifty, unlisted policies that are probably just come up with on the spot at the will of a lazy server. They provide terrible service and the food is lacking at best. Used to love the cheap food and the generally empty restaurant, but now I see why the restaurant is always empty. Would rate with 0...
Read moreThis is a horrible restaurant. The service while I've been many times here is bad. But this doesn’t bother me as much as my most recent visit. I have dined here many times before with no issue getting in while it is late at night, but this most recent visit has been the most aggravating. Me and my friends who are all 18 walked in and asked if we could sit down and eat. The lady at the front asked for our ID to see if we were 18. She changed her mind and said 19 is the age to dine in. I have been here many times as 18 even after my ID has been checked by whoever is at the front. Right as we have been told we cannot dine in we see that there is a family that consisted of 2 parents and 2 children that were no older than 7 years of age. We were discriminated against and refused service due to inconsistent unlisted age restrictions and and/or a lazy server. The food here is mediocre at best and is not worth your money, do...
