WINGS Penticton — Restaurant in Penticton

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! I live in Canmore but was in Penticton August 2025 and wanted to watch the Blue Jays game. It was advertised as a sports bar so my wife and I sat at the bar to watch the game have a few beers and an appetizer. I have experience working in the food industry so the first thing that got my attention was the number of flies and insects buzzing around the bar. Now I not talking a few flies, I mean enough that I had to cover my beer glass with the coaster. Even then I still found some helping themselves to a drink of my beer. Not only that but my first draft beer tasted skunky so I tried a different brand, same thing. Obviously the taps and beer system hasn’t been cleaned in some time. The hygiene of the bar area was horrible and it smelled foul. Getting back to the flies, the only reason why so many fruit flies and other type of flies woukd be present is…..you guessed it “maggots”. I know that a restaurant needs to be clean!! If you don’t think so, just watch a couple Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant rescue shows. I wish he was there to see what I saw. The pan nachos we ordered were terrible, not at all like the description on the menu. This place was so unclean I called the health inspector the next day. Please not go to this restaurant until it has new management because I don’t think a good clean of the restaurant is going to help.

AFTER I SENT THIS REVIEW THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT REPLIED BACK SAYING THAT THE HEALTH INSPECTOR CHECKED THE RESTAURANT AND EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN. THATS GARBAGE! THERE IS NO WAY AN INSPECTOR WOULD BE THERE ONE DAY AFTER I SENT AN EMAIL TELLING THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I EMAILED THEM ON A SUNDAY AND THE OWNER SAID THEY WERE THERE ON THE NEXT DAY WHICH IS A MONDAY. THE HEALTH INSPECTOR DIDNT EVEN RESPOND TO MY EMAIL UNTIL 10 DAYS AFTER. I WOULD NOT EAT AT...

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...

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...
