Edmonton has been opening up a fair share of American chains as of late. PF Chang's, California Pizza Kitchen, and Dickey's Barbecue Pit to name a few. One chain that I've never really heard of is Wing Snob, which recently opened their second location in the city, after their first in the Brewery District a couple years back. Scrambling to find a lunch spot last minute, the siblings and I settled on this spot, conveniently located in Manning Town Centre.
Wing Snob is a fast-casual place where you order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. We were the first customers of the day so our order was brought out to our table. By the time we finished eating, the dining room was slowly filling up.
Wing Snob specializes in their namesake, chicken wings, with 15 different sauces and 3 dry rubs to choose from. They also offer chicken tenders, chicken sliders, and cauliflower wings.
We got one of their meal deal packs which is great for sharing. The fam pack comes with 30 wings (boneless ($40.99) or traditional ($44.99)), large fries or veggies, and three dips. You also get to choose up to three different flavours for the wings.
Our first flavour was garlic parmesan. The wings are tossed in a garlic butter and sprinkled with fresh parmesan. The wings are on the smaller side and we found them to be overcooked. They were crispy on the outside but the meat was a bit dry and tough. As for the flavour, it wasn't overly salty which was a plus.
I was intrigued by the chicken and waffles flavour, but it turned out to be nothing special. It was pretty much maple syrup and powdered sugar. If you're into the sweet and salty thing.
The honey garlic was our last pick. A classic chicken wing, heavy on the ginger flavour.
For our side, we upgraded to the garlic parmesan fries. Fresh, hot, and super crispy. They reminded us of Costco fries.
For dips, we chose creamy dill, creamy parmesan, and cheese sauce. Creamy dill and creamy parmesan were standard and sort of what you expect. Cheese sauce was like your typical nacho cheese with a slight kick.
I wouldn't call myself a wing snob, but Wing Snob was pretty average. A good stop for game day eats or when you're finished shopping in the area.
