I've been having a serious wings craving as of late. Where can I find good, hot wings? I've tried the St. Louis wings but they weren't anything special, contrary to what I've heard before.

Duff's!!
on Baview south of Eglington is your best bet.
IF you want a drive, Morty's wings in Waterloo are not bad either

People think this is crazy but the wings at Sneaky Dee's (College and Bathurst) are awesome. Good amount of sauce, and good value because they are so big. The large portion at $17 can feed three hungry adults. I'm over 200 pounds so I'm talking real hungry. All the other food there is excretable, and the draft beer is usually skunky but the wings are good.

I second the Sneaky Dee's recommendation! I really like the medium sauce there and they do a pretty good job at saucing them for me (hey, I like my wings messy!). They are the biggest and meatiest wings I've had in the city and a very good sized portion...I usually have to doggie bag!

I have to agree with both of these - Duff's and Morty's are some of the best wings I've had.
Am I the only one who thinks Hooters wings are bad? You can order them 'naked' to get rid of the breading, but they're still sub par. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone goes there - a family restaurant known for its wings with bad wings! Must be some other thing that I'm missing. It's not for the owls, I'll tell you that much.

duff's... wings are basically vinegar
i have tried and all star wings (woodbine and 16th) with 96 (NINETY SIX) different sauces. They are big wings but not cheap (20 for 14).
duff's doesn't have a change (and in buffalo, its anchor for the sauce)

Finally tried Blue Goose the other day...wings are juicy, but "hot" wasn't, and the self-serve ordering, served-on-a-styrofoam-plate atmosphere was a bit off-putting. On the bright side, one pound of wings costs under $7 and beer is cheap.

Morty's seems to have slid downhill a little...was there just over a month ago and wings were undercooked (stuck to the bones and red). Server claimed this was normal.

How about All-star Wings.......they have dozens of flavors with cryptic names like SnakeBite, and Blonde
..they overcook the wings sometimes, but trying all the flavors is quite the experience!
It's located in a plaza at the northeast corner of Woodbine and Hwy 16 in Markham/Unionville.

Scratch Daniel's in the Beach. The wings are large and crispy, 2 for 1 on Monday nights. The fries are quite good and they have a very decent ceasar salad.

To me, best wings in Toronto are at Kilgour's Bar Meets Grill, at Bloor St. W and Borden in the Annex. Slightly deep fried, then grilled. They are awesome.
I do like the McSorely's wings, even though some think they have too much sauce.
Also, the Duke of Gloucestor on Yonge, south of Bloor north of Wellsley, has very good wings. Mon. and Wed. night specials.

I pride myself on being a wing man.....all through UofT I went to Rowers on harbord, they had the best barbq wings. But now I have to say that the best, and i mean best wings in toronto are at sloppy joes on lakeshore(just east of browns line). They are huge, and meaty, and very juicy...not dry like most places. On tuesday and thursday they are 30cents each. I guarantee them to be the best.

Wingporium is a joke to my wife and I.
We had such bad wings there a couple times that we had to add it to the no-go list.
Everytime we drive by one of us will joke and say "Wingporium for some Wings?"

Just had one of my worst wing experiences at the Wingporium due to lack of late night dining in the west end. I would think that a place that only serves wings (88 varieties they say) would start by making their wings half-decent at least. Small overebreaded. You could taste the freezer on them. They combine a number of jarred sauces to come up with the 88 vaieties. Gross. I would have been happier defrosting a box of PC wings. I am thinking of venturing out to the Sloppy Joe's based on your rec. Anything else in the westerner reaches of the GTA worth trying??

The Firehall in Oakville (Lakeshore + Bronte) has good wings. Traditionally they win "best wings" in Oakville in any local reader's surveys.
I was just there first time last week-end, and they were good sized, cooked crisp and nicely sauced.
Best I have had outside of Duff's

I really think Duff's needs another shout out. These are the best standard wings I've had and I have tried much of the above list (Rowers, Sneeky Dees, St. Louis, All-Stars -- haven't had Scratch Daniels, probably because its in the Beaches). Anyways, Duff's wings are large and juicy. If you want hot, you can damned well get hot. Also, they will personalise your order -- if you ask they will do less sauce, or cook them slightly longer for extra crispy. I find anything over medium and they put too much sauce on if you don't ask for less.
Also, the wings at Pho Hung (Spadina at St. Andrew, N of Dundas) are really good. Only one spice level and I wouldn't call it spicy at all. But, they were perfectly cooked, crispy with no batter at all, and had I really nice sweet/salty thing going on. I know its not quite what the poster wanted, but anyone who likes wings should try these!

Cajun Bajan, at 133 Manville, se of Eglinton and Warden (go north from Comstock). Truly! don't let the surrounding industrial parks and autobody shops put you off. This place is a well-kept secret, and worth visiting for more than the wings. Food is as the name would suggest, an interesting fusion of Cajun and Bahamian. Used to be next door to an amazing Philippino bakery, but I think the bakery has recently moved to Warden.

Duffs...hands down. Scratch Danials in the Beach used to be the best, but the place was sold a couple of years back and the quality has declined substantially to the point that wouldn't even rank in my top 10 best wing places. Back in the day it was a fun bar...now its a mundane family restaurant. The better bet is Duffs or Wiley's near Yong and St. Clair

second the Pho Hung rec. I've been enjoying them for years and have wondered why people haven't talked about it much.
they're bigger than duffs, more crispy and has a beautiful spicy sauce with perfect amount of sourness.
Unfortunately they recently increased their prices.... used to be a huge plate for only $7, now is $9 or something. i've try Duff's and they're not bad, but nothing like Pho Hung.
There used to be a place at Bayview and Finch called Mr. Buffalo, but they folded last year unfortunately. had the best sauce and GIGANTIC wings.

Again I have to vote for Duff's...Me & mine would make quarter annual trips to Bayview Ave just to eat there. Have no fear West-enders, they are opening anew location at College and Palmertson (what used to be Marlowe bar). The opening soon sign has been hanging for about two weeks now.
I've been told Kilgour's wings are great too - thought he rest of their menu is lacking greatly.

C'mon folks ... all the hype about Duffs is just that. They make half-decent buffalo-style wings which are not half as good as virtually any wing or pizza-place in western New York.
Always overcooked and stringy, WAY too much sauce that forces me to leave the last few wings,drowned and water-logged, behind.
Plus miserable service with a rush-rush-rush attitude, even when it's not wing-night and the place is half-full.
Decent, yes.
Amazing, no.
I'm still looking for great buffalo wings in TO, and enjoying my regular pilgrimage to Buffalo, Niagara Falls NY, Corning, etc.

Not a wing fan, but I was at All Star Wings and Ribs at Elgin Mills and Yonge St. . My friend, who loves wings said their's were the best she'd had, and she was sorry she only ordered ten! It's your typical sports bar (I think), so nothing very fancy. Their ribs were quite passable also, actually surprised me!!

Applejacks have breaded wings, worse than Hooters, worse than All-Star.
If you like breaded wings drowned in sticky-sweet bottled sauces try any of the above.
Really really bad.

Okay. I live at the Bluffs, so here's my call for best wings, East Side, just to mix things up...
- The Grover Pub and Grub.... LOVED their wings, but they burned down. (The Pub, not the Wings.) Dones anyone know what's going on with that place?
- Murphy's Law, a distant second.
- The Unicorn, at Yonge and Eg, at least, they were great two years ago when I lived close by....

went to grover tonightt with my parents and it was quite busy since the game was on. We had the nachos to start- okay, reallly skimpy on the toppings though, hardly any cheese , a few tablespoons to tomatoes, a bit of lettuce and about 10 jalepeno slices. but the chips were at least really crispy so that was nice. my mom had a spinach salad as well, which she claimed was really good. then they had the wings and fries, no complaints, but no rave reviews , which is strange for my mom LOVES her wings and usually will rave about any chicken wing haha. i had the philly cheese steak sandwich and fries which was actually really good. a delicious crusty bun with a very generous portion of lean roast beef thinly sliced, sauteed onions and a thin layer of cheese. Some people might complain that it wasnt enough cheese but I hate when the taste of processed cheese overpowers the meat. The fries were excellent, nice and crispy, skin on thin cut fries. Mmm. so for a salad, nachos, 3 mains, and 3 beers was only 74$, cant go wrong for a casual pub night. I will definetly go back since its close by and has a kind of cute neighbourhood vibe.

I'm no wing connoisseur, even though I do like 'em at times (and after all the recommendations for Duff's, I'm excited to try them). Strangely, the best wings I've had in my life were from Seabreeze, the Chinese restaurant near Leslie and Queen. They were succulent, tender, and just the right level of spicy.

I agree totally. On a recent visit to the Buffalo area I went to both Duff's and the Anchor Bar to do a proper taste test. Ordered a plate of "medium" at each. To me, Anchor wins hands down. The wings themselves (the meat component, and how they were fried) weren't much different, but Anchor's sauce recipe includes butter to cut down the vinegar bite. Duff's tasted like the wings were dunked in pure hot sauce, and the resultant strong vinegar fumes turned me off.
My wife can't handle anything hot so she ordered mild... at Duffs this meant she got a plate of wings with almost no sauce (it looked like they took the bottle, shook a couple dashes on the wings, and served it). She felt totally ripped off. At Anchor, they cut down the spice and increase the butter ratio so you still got nice saucy wings at the correct spice level...
I expect to get flamed by all the Duff fanatics very soon...

True enough about getting next to no sauce when you order mild wings at Duffs. The mild-medium option is a good compromise. A little more heat, but good sauce coverage.
A recent great find for wings is Hollywood on the Queensway. Big, juciy wings, perfectly done, not overly saucy. Here's a link:
http://www.hollywoodonthequeensway.com/
I believe this place is far superior to Duff's.

I agree with the comments about Anchor Bar...love it! The best "medium" buffalo wings I ever had. I noticed the butter taste the first time I had them and surprisingly, it makes the difference. I'll have to find somewhere in Toronto that can compare.

Spicy, It's a small restaurant in a little strip mall on Lakeshore Road. Atmosphere nothing to write home about (even after restaurant makeover lol). However, they do have good wings. I don't drink beer so can't comment on the draft selection. I do know they have a liquor licence though for sure. As I said, locally I believe them to have the best wings. Lots of people come and go for pickup of wings I've noticed. Not a great place for ambience that's for sure..Most wing joints aren't anyway.

My sister RAVES about Beaver & Bulldog's wings in Mississauga. I've seen their wing menu and it has like 15-20 different and inspired wing offerings. That said I have never been but am curious. They also have a Collingwood location, which is where she first discovered them.
Me, I love Bistro's wings on Ave Rd. I don't care much for Buffalo's Duff's (pure vinegar) so I never bothered trying Duff's on Bayview. Although I'm sure I will at some point. Also, St. Louis are excellent no matter what anyone says. Love their fries and onion bits too. And I actually remember Swiss Chalet having surprisingly decent wings, lol. Dead serious.

St Louis and Bisto on Avenue are the same. They use the same recipe, they just have a different name. I tried Duff's on Bayview and while they were good and are the closest to buffalo style that Ive had outside of Buffalo, I found them a bit too tangy (i.e. vinegar).
When I get a craving for buffalo style and don't want to go to Buffalo I will go to Duff's. For non buffalo style I will always go to St Louis and its various incarnations. I like both for different reasons.

Finally tried Beaver and Bulldog in Mississauga on a wing night...place was packed and service was quick. These are breaded wings, and nicely juicy, but like any breaded wing, they quickly soak up sauce and can get mushy. The creole dijon is tasty and we also tried the thai curry, hot, buffalo, and suicide sauce. Suicide was way too hot!
http://www.beaverandbulldog.com/menu/wings2.html
I think I would still prefer to find the best non-breaded very juicy wings out there.

You're correct that they can sometimes be dry. It seems to be a hit and miss thing. I have had them dry and have also had them nice and saucy from the Yonge and Eg location.
In terms of meaty I don't personally like giant wings and prefer the smaller St Louis wings. I think smaller wings are tastier somehow. Just a personal preference

I've been craving wings the last couple of days, and decided that today I would take my sweetie for a little excursion to find what we hoped would be some of the best wings in the west end, based on positive reviews from Chowhound (as well as one recommendation from a friend).
First,
Sloppy Joe's
3527 Lake Shore Boulevard West
The wings, at about $9 for 10 (wings specials on Tuesday and Thursday), were good value, as they were absolutely massive and meaty wings. The sauce was decent. That was all that was good about the wings. Before being fried and sauced, they had been breaded in something that tasted suspiciously like generic Italian seasoned bread crumbs. With a dominant bitter chemical flavour, these wings were not good.
Second,
RUBICON GRILL
1900 Lakeshore Road West (Clarkson Village)
The wings have been reviewed very positively on the Chowhound boards, and I have to say, I was disappointed. I should clarify something, however - I ordered the wings from all the restaurants to be medium, and straight off of the menu, without asking for them to be prepared in any special way, unless the waitstaff suggested it. This would allow me to be more objective in my criticism. The wings at Rubicon come battered and fried, unless you ask for them to be prepared "original style", or grilled. As the waitress did not suggest either preparation, they came battered. Other people swear by their many other sauces, so, if properly selected, they may be awesome. The wings were large, crispy and meaty. Not bad so far. However, the batter tasted underseasoned, and the sauce was far, far too sweet. Yet again, not a winner.
Third,
Clarkson Pump and Patio
1744 Lakeshore Road West, Mississauga (just down the road from Rubicon).
Several recommendations for their wings can be found on the Chowhound boards, and we received an additional recommendation for them from a close friend. These wings, while definitely the best of the three we tried today, were far from perfect. First of all, they were tiny. At $8 for 10 wings, we thought they were a bargain, until they arrived at the table. They are very small. However, the sauce was good, and, having them grilled after being fried and sauced (as recommended by our server) made a big difference, giving them a nice smoky charred flavour.
To conclude, I have most certainly not yet found wings in the west end that, by any stretch of the imagination, could be called Toronto's best. While Duff's seems to get most people's votes on these boards, I am not convinced. My search continues....

I had been quite anxious to try Rubicon's wings since I live in Scarborough and don't get many chances to get out to Mississauga. That and I read on the boards that they were supposedly good.
To make a long story short, I was not impressed at all. The meat was a little dry and not flavorful, and the sauces were not that great (I tried about 10 different flavors and only one or two were good). I will probably not go back anytime soon, if ever.
I have yet to find any wings in or near the GTA that I like better than those at Wing Shack in Ajax.

I've always enjoyed Wings Up! Really big breaded wings (you can order them unbreaded too) and a ton of different sauce combinations. These are definately nothing like traditonal Buffalo wings though. They have fresh cut wedge fries that are really good as well.

I am vowing to not pick a sauce at all when ordering wings. I am a girl who likes her spices ... and ordering wings "hot" doesnt mean anything but vinegary to me now. Hot sauce is yuck. Medium is better, ... but is still vinegary! I find this happens to everywhere I go! ... So from now on, I'm going to order the wings plain and then a side of gravy. Gravy goes well with ANYTHING. :)

It's so interesting to see peoples tastes. People are really hating on the vinegar in the wing sauce. Hmmm. The Buffalo wing recepie is deep frying a batch of wings and a talented chef squeezing in 2 different bottles- 1 with melted butter and the other with Louisianna Hot sauce. This hot sauce has a high you guessed it Vinegar content. I have a soft spot for this. It's fatty good.

I know this sounds a bit extreme, but I assure you it is well worth the drive if you want the best wings.

Pickering (w/o scarborough) has a really good place called Shagwell's, you can google it (736 Kingston Road, Pickering ON, L1V1A8). They have Monday and Wednesday 2 for 1 wings (about $4/lb) all night and every other night except Sunday (all you can eat) is 4-7pm 2 for 1 wings.
They have tones of flavours, and the fries are dusted with something delicious (I suspect it's seasoning salt). The Dill dressing is killer too.

I'd vote for Duff's overall. I like the variety at All-Stars on Woodbine and 16th but they are too cramped. At that point my friends and I goto the sushi buffet next door to get our fill of sesame ice cream.
During dim sum at some chinese restaurants they serve simple deep fried wings with just salt and pepper and they are awesome when they are fresh too!
I was also surprised that the indian restaurant at the ground level at the atrium on bay is now a St.Louis too.

Duff's seems to be the hands down favourite around here.
I have done a few reviews for them on the www.hotsauceblog.com.
Other than Duff's, I think Bishop and the Belcher has some of the best wings around. Make sure to check them out!

Bishop and the Belcher moved to Bloor and Church. They actually tore down some of the old walls and rebuilt them at the new location.
Bishop is doing better than ever and still hands down one of the best pubs in the city for food and atmosphere.

I was introduced to a new place called the Honey Beestro in Streetsville (Mississauga). They have AMAZING wings.... a wonderful range of sauces, and their wings are packed with juicy meat... all good. They're located on Queen Street in Streetsville... and I think Tuesday is their 'wing night'

What about Originals just down the street from Duffs....I can't beleive no one mentioned Originals. Solid wings, nice, big and juicy (specials every thursday). Duffs are good...absolute worst were at the Elephant and Castle, they were like cornish hen wings, I was shocked when the waiter brought them over.

Tara Inn on Kingston Rd (Just west of Midland Ave.). Not too saucy, not too dry...just right. Real fries made from fresh potatoes (not frozen) were also a plus. Decor is a bit dated (80's rattan furniture in an Irish pub?). Not a fancy place but a good place to visit if you're in the area and in the mood for a beer and wings

I recommend the oven roasted chicken wings at Mitzi's Sister at Queen W and Sorauren - just had them the other night - they were substantial and meaty, a welcome change from the typical anemic version drowned in batter and fried (1 pound for $9.95). My mouth was on fire from the hot sauce on the side, but nothing a cold hard cider on tap couldn't cure ($3)! See http://www.mitzissister.com/

Wayne Greztkys sells a "wingless" chicken wing. these are not chicken wings but leg drumsticks. the market value difference between the 2 cuts is $2.50 for wings and less than $0.80 for legs. i cant believe they are trying to pull this one over.
it like calling a rump roast a "steakless" rib steak. what does that mean? i dont know either.

Hey Googs
Although I don't eat one kind first and then the other. In fact, I probably alternate. I do like the forearm wings the best. Juicier and more meat I think.

Don't think these have been mentioned but love the Costco buffalo wings. Large bag of frozen wings with a perfectly spiced buffalo sauce. they are a must have in my house on football sunday with Renee's Blue Cheese dressing to dip.

really good, if not the best, wings ive eaten just recently came from pizza nova! specifically, the one at alton towers (steeles and mccowan). wings were avg. sized, very plump and juicy. had it in medium sauce, but wasnt spicy at all like other places. just a bit of tang. :) would definitely just order wings from them again.

"well done"
is it possible to order slightly undercooked wings at Duff's? I find they are too cooked and therefore borderline dry.

Yikes. We are miles apart on this one! I like my wings very crispy and always get them well done... they are quite good with me and I am willing to bet they would pull the wings early if you ask...
When I can't get Duff's I can settle for Jack Astor's at Scarborough Town Centre - I think their sauce is butter based and it hooks me too...

Duff's are my favorite - with that said, a couple of year's ago I had wings at Colonel Mustard's (#7 & Woodbine) and they were memorable too. Not sure if that is true today though...

It's gotta be Duff's. Mild medium with extra sauce on the side. Good Stuff. The beer battered onion rings are good also.

Sorry, Anchor Bar still beats Duff's. Unless of course you like to be overwhelmed by nothing but vinegar fumes.... see further up (March 7 posts) for my comments on Duff's.

The vinegar quotient depends on the sauce you get. The Armageddon have surprisingly less that the Death.

I agree, the vinegar quotient is signifcantly reduced at Duff's for the two hottest sauces. This is probably because they use a similar base for everything up to super hot but increase the vinegar to open up the pores making it seem hotter. But with the Death and Armageddon I think they are using almost a pure hot pepper puree. For someone who loves spicy food I think it is the best sauce I have had on a wing.
That said, the last time I was there the quality of the meat was subpar. This seems to be the norm for most wing places in Toronto. Only Allens seems to have a good quality wing but their sauce is too mild for me.
I went Anchor Bar in Buffalo for the first time a few months ago and while I thought the sauce could be hotter as well, the wing was awesome. I was almost surprised to see a white bone and meat and didn't feel stomach pains a few hours later.
Now if someone could make a good quality wing like Allen's or Anchor Bar with the Duff's Death sauce, I would be in heaven.

Actually there is a sauce like that. It is called Defcon 1.
You can find it www.defconsauces.com or at www.sweatnspice.com. Read all the reviews on www.hotsauceblog.com.
Last year was the first Canadian Defcon Death match (I won). That stuff is made with extract and Defcon 1 and is only available in a death match. Makes the Armageddon wings seem like popsicles but the sauce is incredible.
Look for the return of the Death Match May long weekend.

I am not interested in fat, sweaty guys battling it out for eating hot boring wings. I like meaty wings with flavour. I have had wings all over the GTA. Duff's was one of the worst wing joints.
Tara Inn Eglinton in Scarborough is the hands down winner. The jerk is to die for. If you haven't been you don't know jack. GO there and report back. The trick is to go on a Wednesday when it's wing night and Kevin is on the grill.

Ya - thats unfortunately the stereotype. It was the fat sweaty guys that couldnt get past two wings.
Bishop and the Belcher is the winner for me when it comes to wings (and I do like Duffs once in awhile). But the Belcher has got it down to perfection!

I recently tried the Wings from the Fossil and Haggis at Morningside Ave and Military Trail in Scarborough. I was really impressed. It's the closest thing I've found to a true Buffalo wing since eating at the original Duff's. The wings were large and meaty, done in the classic buffalo style, no breading.
They have a Sunday-Monday special, two pounds for $9 (dine in only). They have a five pound order available every day for $23 which you can take out. They have a nice blue cheese dressing as well.

WINGS IN SCARBOROUGH
I'll second the Haggis and Fossil...very good wings not too dry not too saucy and nice thick cut fries (not the frozen that most serve). Nice sports pub atmosphere and friendly service too.
In Scarborough my first choice would be the Tara In (the one on Kingston Rd. not on Eglinton). The wings are true buffalo style, big and meaty and the fries are thicj and fresh (blue cheese sauce is a bit blan...probably dressing out of a bottle). A nice pub for a quiet pint.

I still think Duff's is the best (in Toronto). They can be a bit inconsistent. They always try to get the biggest wings but are at the mercy of supply and an extra minute in the fryer can take a perfect wing to overdone.
I always order wings plain (because they stay crisp and warm much longer) with sauce on the side and usually take 5-8 sauces of my own.(Nando's Garlic Piri Piri, Tabasco Jalapeno, Loblaws knock off Anchor Bar sauce, Frontera Jalapeno, Frank's Red Hot to name a few) I am that crazy! Duff's Blue Cheese sauce is not very good but they now have a Dill sauce that is as good as St. Louis (the only thing I like about St. Louis)
I really don't like The St Louis Bistro chain of franchises, wings are too small and they have the cheapest, roughest sauces - in my opinion.

When it was just the Bistro and St. Louis on Yonge south of St. Clair they were excellent. The franchising out has really hurt them.
I had Duff's again this summer and found them just as good as always.

Hi All,
I 3rd Sneeky Dees . . . The wings are well sauced and perfectly cooked (I hate soggy wings) And they are very large wings!!!. . . they also have IMHO the best nachos in the city which is a bonus....

Arizona next to Pearson Airport has surprisingly good wings - juicy and crispy even when sauced. Hot sauce is decent, not spectacular. Mondays are half-price, which translates to $5 for 9 pieces. Better than my recent venture over the border to Honey's.

Rubicon was the best wings, large, meaty and flavorful.. sometimes the ribs were a bit overdone but the wings had it hands down. But as of last night it is gone, they burnt to the ground. Not sure if they will re-open but hopefully they do, as they are my go to for wings. :(

I have had wings from Duff's, St. Louis, Taras, Chick N Deli (there should be a law against selling sparrow wings) and a few other more popular rec's from this board in the Toronto area, but if you are a wing lover, and are ever in the Cobourg area, treat yourself and try a place called Bubs. It's certainly not fancy, just a place with a bit of character, but IMO none come even close to their wings. There is no debate by locals of who has the best wings in the area. Tuesday and Thursday's are the only very busy nights as those are wingnights.

Is it called Bub's or Happy Gilmore's Bar & Grill, Lefty? I'm coming up with both. Not sure if you're from that area so I hope this next question makes sense. How do Bub's wings compare with Rhino's Roadhouse in Bewdley?

I stand corrected .... it use to be called Bubs, it's now called Happy Gilmore's but of course everybody still refers to it as Bub's. Rhinos use to be the best in the area until this place came along.
