Wild Wing - College/Yonge St.

Very small place and luckily I came through and saved the day by getting there early and reserving a spot for us. First impressions, service was amazing and our waitress may have been the nicest server I've experienced. The TV situation was excellent as we were surrounded by at least three 40 in flat screens showcasing the Olympic games. To top it off, I made a beauty of a bet when I bet Duncan 5$ Canada wouldn't score 15 on Norway. Needless to say, I was correct --by far.

The wing selection was very good. There had to have been over 100 wing sauces to choose from. However, I'm very cautious when going to places like this because I find many of the sauces are very very similar. I mean...come on...it's not like they have thousands of bottles of wing sauce in the back. They simply add a few ingredients to certain sauces to alter them slightly. Although the various wings did taste different from one another, I'm not the kind of guy that gets off on eating hundreds of flavours. I'd rather just have a saucy wing that burns my mouth off with heat.

To the scorecard

WING QUALITY 3.5/5 -- Pretty good texture with a bit of crunch. Although I like my wings to be extremely saucy. These were more of a fried wing with limited sauce. I also didn't like how they poured ranch all of the wings if you asked for ranch sauce. That was pretty strange.

Sides and Extras 1/5 -- No celery or veggies of any kind, no dipping sauce provided.

Beer 3/5 -- They had a solid selection and from what I remember, the prices were slightly lower than I've come to expect in this overpriced, over-taxed city.

Service 5/5 -- Waitress was a sweetheart and really helped us out when we had to accommodate some unexpected guests.

OVERALL - 3.5/5 -- NO sides and extras, and the wings not being HOT at all dropped the overall score. Service was outstanding and the environment was solid. However, don't sit under the palm tree because it flashes green lights on you throughout the night. It's really distracting.
