Wings

Cute Little bar, we stopped halfway up old fish market. We only had drinks but the decor and atmosphere was up our ally! Staff was friendly and I recommend the Happy Drank!

We went on a Sunday for the bottomless wings and it's so worth it for £20. All the wing sauces we had were amazing. The inside is amazing, decorated with all star wars and movie references. Would definitely recommend going for just a ton of wings.

Absolutely love this place! I’ve had the pleasure of going here twice now and not only has the food been fab with big portions the place itself is such a vibe. The food itself was very reasonable in price as well! One of my favourite spots if you try it out - I’d recommend the Long John Silver sauce. That was our favourite

Very good chicken wings with an insane variety of sauces! Wings and sauces were so yummy that we came here for dinner 3 times during our stay in Edinburgh. Mac & cheese and nuggets were good too but wings were the winner. Staff were really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Loved the quirky decorations of the restaurant as well.

Had a toothpick of the hot sauce and my arse almost painted the walls. The choice of sauce delivery mechanisms range from wings, nuggets, cauliflower wings and mushrooms you can get an incredible selection of wild and wacky flavoured sauces to perfectly accompany them. The menu is vast to say the least, I personally like the classic sauces but you can also have dry rubs! Very much recommend the MK221 and I was told the pyong dang was nice for Korean food enjoyers. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating! Plus the tunes in there are banging shoutout Spotify AI DJ. I think the place also has an arcade!! Cheers

Huge selection of sauces, all very tasty. Especially good on Tuesday when they have £3 bowls.

Great food. Loved the vibe. Fun beer and good beer.

Hmmm but confused on this rating. Firstly I’d like to address the daylight robbery that is £1.25 for Mayo! I mean that’s bang out of order - is it even made in house? I doubt it. Then I come on to the nuggets - decent! Really enjoyed them! Great sauce, great selection and decent value - 7 nuggs for £6.10 - more than enough for dinner. But this is where I get confused - like how big are their wings? Like how is 3 wings enough as a portion(same price)? I’d prefer wings but 3 Vs 7 just didn’t compute. Fries great - £4.50, but I guess that’s life in 2025. Decent pint. Nice service. Good vibes. To conclude - I really liked it! But pricing brought them down from a 4 to a 3.

Came here based on a suggestion from a stranger while vacationing in Edinburgh and all I can say is,"Thank you, stranger!" Wings is a completely unassuming place, with a lot of fun flavors to try. I can't remember all that we ordered, but truly, it was all great!

This place is a hole in the wall, but the food is really good! It was a lot more food than I expected. They don't halve their wings, so 3 full wings is 6 normal wings. I didn't know that and did 2 orders of the full wings. I finished it, but it was a lot of food. Both the wings, and the fries were really good! The bathroom pretty gross, but other than that everything was great!

Based upon my love of Wings, my wife found this place while in Edinburgh and we knew we had to give it a try. We decided to come in here one day for lunch. The theme inside was kinda surprising. It had a lot of movie and tv references, the most prominent being Star Wars. We also watched someone try their heat challenge. I'll just say I felt bad for the guy. We asked the waitress afterwards and she said not many pass. Most fail after 2-3 wings. Their normal heat selection goes from 1-8, but their heat challenge goes up to 11. For our food, I tried the Margarita wings, located in their "boozy" section. I really enjoyed these as they had a lot of flavor. I also got a side of mac and cheese, and chose chipuffalo sauce - a combo of chipotle and buffalo - it added a great flavor to the mac and cheese with just the right amoumt of heat. The other wings I tried were the Bit of French, which is garlic pepper flavored. It was actually really bland. I ended up dipping them into the remaining chipuffalo sauce. The restaurant is in a lot of stone, so you get almost no cell service. Just an FYI.

Alright. If you've been around for a while, you know my husband is a wing connoisseur. And as a good wife, I suggested this place when we were looking for lunch. Also, If you've been around, you also know I get analysis paralysis when it comes to extensive menus. And there were a TON of wing flavor options at this place. Thankfully they had them divided into different categories and different spice levels indicated. The flavor I got did not have a spice indicator next to it, but it had quite a kick afterwards!

Very cool spot to eat wings. Wanted a quick place to eat and found this on Yelp. Lots of different sauces and rubs for wings. Took me back to 1990s America.

This place was recommended to me by a friend. It was a pretty good spot for what it's worth because the food in the UK hasn't really been up to par. The wings were ok, but the nuggets and sauces were tasty. We also tried the motz sticks and mac and cheese which was enjoyable. I would say out of all places I visited in Edinburgh, this was the best.

I was intrigued by all the flavors they offered here, so came by with my friend on a Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, there was a 2 hour wait without reservations. Even though I could give this place 4 stars, the wait really made it not worth it at all. I never thought a place like this would need reservations, but here I was making one for the following Saturday to ensure we get seated. If you can, make sure you make reservations by phone only! On our visit here, you walk into a space that reminds me of a dive bar filled with a lot of quirky character from the wall decors and wooden fixtures. Since my friend and I were starving, we ordered six flavors of wings (£4.50 for 6pcs), Chips (£3) plus Cheese Dip (£1) and Ranch (£1). Since we had already been drinking, we also each got a Strawberry Lime Cider (£4.50), which was sweet and tasty. While the wings were crispy, it was also a bit tough. Due to this, the dry seasoning did not help with the texture at all. I did enjoy most of the sauces from the best to least favorite of our choices: Stevie (random pick, which was curry flavored), Tie Fighter (thai chili sauce), Gene Parmesan (garlic parmesan caesar), Imperial Tiger (sweet buffalo bbq), Bango (mango spicy), and Whiskey Pepper (dry whiskey pepper seasoning). I have to admit that the flavors sounded better than it actually tasted, but I enjoyed all the variety nonetheless --which can be a blessing or curse if you're indecisive). In addition, all the flavors started to blend and it was difficult to tell which flavor I was eating from all the choices. Even though the two of us finished all of our food, we probably could've only had 2 orders each instead. We left completed bloated from all the wings we stuffed ourselves with. Cool, divey spot for an incredible variety of flavors but definitely make reservations to avoid the wait.

Love the food very tasty and the staff were able to make recommendations based on having tried the food.

The vibe was immaculate, very hot but pretty sick. Food was good too but wish we played the games :)

Let me start out by saying the prices are good here. I drank a juice and because of that managed to get out under £6! Thats awesome especially for a city. Now in terms of a quick bite to eat on the cheap this fits the bill. The place has skater and pop culture art everywhere and little white walls can be seen. Also no wifi and its underground so no service either! Huge disappoint. Wifi is not expensive especially for such a small shop for a place like this. So if you're eating alone beware! The Food Well nothing special, and for less then 5£ for some wings or nuggets it works but its nothing special and they certainly aren't that good of wings by any means. I would even contend that a frozen store bought set of wings could contest them. The biggest problem I had with them was that they were just drowning in sauce, far too much sauce. The sauce I ordered was called Canadian Reserve and was described as a maple bbq flavour. The server even recommended it over the whiskey which isn't a small bit of whiskey cooked into the meat but rather straight cheap whiskey poured over the already cooked wings (servers words). Now this sauce which was not indicated to be spicy had quite a kick and not a hint of maple at all! I was really looking forward to this place and that sauce after reading other reviews. It was an unfortunate shame. The staff was bare bones. They werent rude but they werent enthusiastic or cheerful or welcoming by any means either, sort of didnt care. I like to think that this was an isolated experience as it was at a slow time so perhaps they were just bored but still. I would appreciate some attempt at interaction or enthusiasm, it really would add a LOT to the food experience. Overall if you need something cool for as cheap as possible and are with a few people then this is ok. But nothing to write home about, and not going to be the best food by any means and it is WITHOUT WIFI.

This place is probably the most amazing bar I've ever been to. I am an America tourist and my sister recommended this place off of reddit, and it far exceeded my expectations. It is a dive bar with amazing themed decorations, music, and good wings (as it's namesake suggests). The service was polite, friendly, and quick and my sister and I loved the wings. We got the bartenders recommendation which was a delicious honey-bbq blend. I also got an amazing alcoholic milkshake and a few other drinks (cocktails) as well. Affordable, fun, and a great night out. A must visit if I return to Edinburgh.

My husband and I visited from the US over a year and a half ago and I still wake up thinking about these wings. Some of the best we've ever had. Vibe was great, everything was moderately priced and we can't wait to get back on our next trip. Definitely a must-try if you're in Edinburgh and hold wings in high regard.

This place was recommended and didn't disappoint. The wings and all the sauces were amazing! If you are looking for wings in Edinburgh, definitely check this place out.

This place was pretty cool! I was walking around during Fringe 2019 and asked a random tourist a cool spot to eat some casual food and they recommended Wings! Once we found the place we were able to be seated immediately. Our waitress was rather forgetful but she always apologized. The food tasted so good and they have a million options- if you like chicken then you will LOVE it here. The decor will keep your brain busy while you wait for your food. It's definitely worth it to play iSpy on the Cartoon Network wall which I wished I would have taken a picture of. Guess this means I'll have to go back!

I thought this place was ok, fantastic selection of wings, especially if you like something with a bit of spice. The wings were quite small though and a little over done. I don't that that's their fault, just the scrawny ass chickens we have in the UK. I've spent a lot of time in the US so my opinion of wings in the UK has a high bar to achieve. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Would I go back? Of course. And if you're visiting Edinburgh it's definitely worth a try.

Orders: one tiger sauce wings + one new worlder + 2 Apple juices Fee: £ 9.90 Waiting time: 5mins Taste: the tiger sauce is a little spicy that I can handle. But the taste of pepper I don't like it. And the new worlder wings are sweet. The chef fired the skin to make the wing taste good. I think he used maple honey. The wings don't have too much oil, which means they are dry. The first bite is a little hard. But, I love to try in next time. Atmosphere: the whole eating area is big, and divided into different theme. I have to see that is awesome. If you are a game player, you can play computer games with your wings. Other direction are so cool. I think it is good to be a group friend for relaxing. But, for the best seat, better book reservation.

A lot of changes some for the better, some not so. They are going strong, they have brilliant people serving them chickens and this is still very much how I would like to dine out with a couple of friends. More environmentally conscious; 2 buckets 1 for food one for everything else. The bowls are now £4.20 per six wings. Still a good(ish) price, but a stark difference from the original £2.50 in their pre Fishmarket time. Mind you that was 4 years ago. They've become more professional, a proper (but fun!) restaurant where the wings still rule and golden oldies like me (and Golden Cock holders like Mason) can still find the good times we so dearly crave. I'd like to visit more often, no scratch that. I'd like to have a camping bed near the kitchen and become their intern sauce tester. Yes, even though they may look more pro and raised their prices, they are ruling the roost. Them Wings guys rock! (so I guess that makes it 20 stars now.. )

Wings does one thing. Yes, you guessed it! WINGS! And they do them very very well. My wife and stopped in here and were seated at the gamecube table. As we waited for our food, we played mario kart while Mad Max played on a giant projector behind us. If you're a gamer or into geek culture, this is a must go to place in Edinburgh. Onto the wings! The menu is basically a list of sauces. You choose your sauces and for each sauce you get 6 wings for 3.50 GBP. Between me and my wife we picked 4 flavors, including spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors. First off, the chicken wings themselves were delicious. They feel right off the bone and while it was messy, I didn't have to work hard to get the meat off the bone. Second, the sauces were all really good. Not only that, they do not skimp on the sauce. The wings are served in paper bowls and each bowl had a pool of sauce leftover after we finished the wings. I only wish we had time to get some fries to mop that up at the end. I highly recommend Wing Edinburgh for anyone who loves wings!

Wings. Wings. Wings. This place is popular for a reason. So many options and flavor combinations on offer that I didn't even think were possible. Wings are served in orders of 6, for an easy £3.50/pop. We sampled an array of different flavors-- all of them were fantastic, and included ranch, chipotle buffalo, honey and garlic, and maple bacon. Drinks are cheap. We were lucky to get a table without a booking, and were seated downstairs at the GameCube table (complete with actual GameCube). While waiting for our wings we enjoyed a few rounds of Mario Kart! Affordable, fun, easy, food and experience. Simply wingtastic.

A restaurant fully dedicated to chicken wings - what a brilliant idea. We discovered this place while checking out the yelp scene for dinner and believe me, it was an easy decision as soon as we spotted the restaurant on the list. And as soon as we walked in I knew we won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is as "geeky" as it gets, matching a lot of our favourite things - like being greeted by C-3PO asking us to wait to be seated. Each table is themed - we were sat at the Godzilla table. Amongst other tables there was a Trekkie one, Star Wars one, Dragon Ball Z and so on. LOVED the atmosphere. Near our table there was also a Find Wally wall full of amazing drawings and challenges to find characters (we found them all... in case you were wondering). As for the actual food, it's mostly Wings (no surprise there!). I think there were probably around 40 different styles, including dry rubs and sauces, that the wings came in. We had two of the spicy ones and we weren't disappointed. Portions came smothered in the sauce and we didn't run out of our toppings. Portions are straight forward - 6 wings for £4.20. There is a small number of sides available (chips and deep fried tortilla) and they weren't very impressive. However, the wings were delicious, so I think next time I won't bother with sides and just order double the wings :). Overall, I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in Edinburgh. Really loved this little place, hidden just off of the Royal Mile, and I strongly encourage any chicken wing lovers to give them a shot.

Of the whole chicken probably the thighs, drumsticks and wings are the best part of a chicken. Whenever I get the chance to get good wings, I will jump on it. So one day, we decided to come to Wings to give it a try since everyone was recommending it. The place is a very chilled laid back area and the staff here are extremely hip and nice. Being a chicken wings fan I know how the best wings should taste like. They should be extremely juicy, greasy with a crunchy skin after they have been deep fried. When you suck on the part with 2 bones, they should just literally come off straight away from the bones and you tear the meat from the joints of the 2 bones. Honestly, I am unsure why there was such a big hype about this place. The wings here tasted like they have been cooked from frozen and not fresh. The reason is because the wings were dry and tough. If they were cooked from frozen or not overcooked they should not be dry and tough. The sauce however, there are plenty to choose from and I have no doubt they have the most range of sauce and they are pretty good. So, I gave them an extra star for the sauce. However, the wings? I think it was just mediocre wings under some good sauce. So .. Wings? Sauce? Wings? Sauce? What are you here for? I think I will give it a pass in the future.

"Better than our cousins across the pond"-- BOLD statement, however true. As a yank, I walked in skeptical but left as a believer. This place offers the most unique sauce combinations I have encountered and the classic buffalo stands strong. If you are a wing connoisseur, this place is a must visit. For the brave, try the suicide sauce. The very brave. For those who can not commit trust the server and order plain with sauce on the side. For the weary family traveler, come and relax. Let the kids play the old school games downstairs (seriously old school), then kick the kids off for a trip down memory lane. The ambiance and service are inexplicable. Imagine a non-cheesy homage to the best of popular culture with a family member bringing you the best of wings ranging from sweet to spicy to boozy. Don't miss this spot. Only complaint is that they do not offer all sauces in bottled version. Probably a good thing for the cousins across the pond. Fantastic. Thank you for this reasonably priced oasis of good old fun and food. Don't miss it. Or, be a fool and skip it. Just more wings and less crowds for the rest of us.

I tried to go on a Monday afternoon, but Monday seems to be the only day they open at 4pm instead of noon! So we returned the next day... And I loved the cute wee tables. The OH begged to sit at the Godzilla table which was quite fun. I thought the Jurassic park table looked really good. Downstairs they had a couple of teens playing retro games. Sadly they don't have wifi! I would also say that the wings are a bit hit or miss! The dry paprika rub was the worst, as it kind of lacked flavour. Then I liked the Gene Parmesan which was WELL cheesy. The Molten Mounty was a hot maple sauce, which wasn't as sweet as I expected it to be. The best out of all the wings we got was not on the regular menu! It was one of the specials and it was called.... Stronstorm (I think!!!...something like that anyway!) I would like to go back since it's such good value and to taste test all the varieties!!

Okay okay we all know how obsessed I am with chicken. I could eat every type of chicken on this earth but my favourite has got to be anything involving chicken wings!!! So, of course, upon planning my day with friends out in Edinburgh, why not head over for chicken wings for lunch! YES! Wings Edinburgh is located in a wee alley along High St. Seems quite hidden which makes me feel quite chuffed about discovering it! It's a small place, the seating area is in some arched areas which are about 2m tall max? Because I always had to hunch my back, fearing I'd knock my head on the key stones lol anyway but I liked the cave-like environment! Each table had a theme and we were so lucky to be placed at the Doctor Who table (yes I am somewhat of a Whovian) with a weeping angle behind us, watching us it haha Anyway, we order 4 bowls of chicken wings with 6 pieces in each bowl! We have one with cheese, a teriyaki one (black magic), a spicy one (chipuffalo?) and something with jalapeños (sorry I can't remember the names). They were all quite different in flavours but I loved them all! The chicken wings came to us quick and hot! We were devouring them like beasts! A £4 per bowl? WIN! The staff members were a delightful bunch too! One waitress was super friendly and chatted with us for quite a bit! Loved it very much! Again, wish something like this opened in Glasgow so I could eat all the chicken wings!!! Highly recommend for those who want to have a cheat day and not care about watching your waistline ;)

Ninja level chicken wings. Good beer. Great price. Badass staff. Doctor Who paraphernalia on the wall... WHY WOULD I NEED TO ELABORATE ON THIS?! *drops microphone* *runs to Wings*

Owen?! Owen! Can I get a few words CHICKEN!!! Err..right. Anything else you'd like to add? CHICKEN!!! Maybe something that might be of interest in a revi..... CHICKEN!!! For $%&#'s sake man I've got deadlines to meet here, I'm sick of you Prima Donna yelpers, give me something I can use! CHICKEN!!! This interview is over.

I'd manage to miss Wings for ages but ended up here as part of a Yelp event. I'm not even sure I have the words to describe it. It's unlike pretty much any other place in Edinburgh I can think of. Definitely unique. The table was covered in Where's Wally pages. It's a relatively small dark space where the walls had Dr Who memorabilia. Comic books and Star Wars figures are dotted around. Basically it felt like being transported back to my teenage bedroom. And then there is the menu. Chicken wings with an almost an enormous and impossible to choose from list of sauces. I went for a Chipotle/Buffalo hybrid. It was definitey more-ish. Served in a paper bowl, they were washed down with a decent beer. Rum is also a good option. Wings is *crazy* and I enjoyed every minute. It's not exactly gastro-dining but it is fun and I immediately wanted to come back and bring some friends just to try something different.

If you love chicken wings then you have found your heaven!! This is the first time I have been since it has opened on New Fishmarket Close, and I have to say that the new space is much better and very quirky. The reason I have kept this at 4 stars is that although the interior is supposed to look dated I think , I am a self admitted snob. I am still a big fan and will be back. Not for the suicide challenge... crazy people !

This is what I have been waiting for!!! Finally chicken wings in Edinburgh!! I am a huge fan of chicken wings. Chicken wings and beer - what a perfect combination. I grew up Niagara Falls, Canada just a stones throw away from Buffalo, New York where 'buffalo wings' were created. In North America, it's very typical to go out for beer and wings. Or to go out and enjoy all-you-can-eat wings. This is one thing I have greatly missed since moving here and I am SO glad that this place finally exists in Edinburgh. Wings gives it to you straight up. It's just wings and beer. Oh and chips but you don't want chips - you come here for the wings. They have over 40 different flavours of sauces/dry rubs. I came on Friday night with my partner and we tried seven of the forty. It's 3 pounds for 6 wings. My favourites: Julius the Hot (caesar and Frank's red hot dressing), No big dill (dill and a white cream type dressing), and another one that was essentially a cheesy creamy cheese with FRESH* jalapenos. We also tried the a super hot flavour that's mixed with maple syrup. It was tasty. They have 'suicide' flavour - 11 people out of 65 were able to eat them. If you can handle some heat I urge you to try it out! These wings are deep fried, American, buffalo wing style. They are perfect. This is a great place to come with friends before heading out. Like Kristin C. noted below, this isn't a date spot. It's located in the basement of Mariachi's. There are two people who work here, the cook and the server. The server is Canadian and super friendly! You'll wake up the next morning and your fingers will smell like chicken wings (but that's fine). They do all-you-can-eat on Sundays for 10 pounds. Who knows I might be back today! This is my new favourite place in Edinburgh. That's all. ------- *I love when restaurants use fresh jalapenos.

This place is very different.... It is retro with a lot of student / Star Wars / out there decor. The wings are a little dry but the Sauces on them are amazing. For me this place is a one of. When you have been once you wouldn't have to go again. Not because it is a bad restaurant but it's just a seen it and done it kind of place. Definitely worth a try. Hope this helps.

OH MY GAWD I LOVE IT! Beer and wings would be a great idea for any restaurant but beer, wings, games and geekiness - um yes! Awesome decor all around the place from the different tables and awesome wallpaper all over to the board games and games downstairs. Great vibe and super cool staff - really helpful and chatty and good advice on what wings to get! I'm a big wing person in general and so is my sister so I was waiting to go with her but circumstances got me there early and boy am I sold. Definitely worth the wait and definitely somewhere to go. Hidden away a little right now under construction but the wings are so worth it. I've tried a couple of different ones and they're all great: crisp and spicey and delicious! PS if you're a veggie they have friend cheese and if you don't like bones they have nuggets - I mean COME ON! Awesome stuff 6* if I could!!

Wings wings wings wings wings - does what it says on the tin... well, on the shop name! The concept is simple - £3.50 gets you a bowl with 6 chicken wings in it, plus the seasoning or sauce of your choice from the menu. You can go dry (I liked salt and lemon), sticky BBQ (the one with maple syrup in it is obviously the best) or even a bit off-beat (I'm hoping to try the margarita flavour soon). Along with your wings you can have some simple sides (can't go wrong with chips, and Wings make good chips), and a good selection of drinks. The environment is very informal and properly quirky (not in a "oh, I'm so mad me" type way) - I was in there early February and they've got a Star Wars Christmas tree with two AT-ATs behaving 'inappropriately' in front of it. Add in some friendly staff and you can see why Yelpers keep going back to Wings

Cheep and cheerful. Wings with canadian mix-up sauce are brilliant if you like sweet.

YUM, YUM YUM YUM! Have I had better wings in my lifetime.. Yes, Yes I have... Have I had better wings in Edinburgh.. errr... don't think so?!? I had so much fun here, I ate here twice in about 7 days.. The guys who run the place are super chill and super friendly.. Tho sometimes you gotta wave them down to get service.. Fine dining this is not.. A great place to go with a group of friends, it most certainly IS! Bit sad they are actually no longer at this location... can't wait for them to pop up again in a new location!

I like buffalo wings. A lot. I could honestly eat wings at every meal if my wife would allow it. This is the second time I have eaten here and have to say that for the UK its pretty good. I ordered the traditional buffalo, some jerk and the garlic parmesan wings. Yum! The service is laid back and staff are friendly. There are a couple of negative points. The lighting is very low. I like to see my food and the people I am with. (in this case my wife (see photos)). The other thing is the french fries. I suggest you skip these as they are not good at all. I wish they would get some better sides. Take a trip to America and steal some ideas please! Fried pickles would be great! All in all this place is pretty good. Very laid back ( the food comes in paper bowls!) , students will be happy as will someone needing a wing fix. Probably not the place to bring your mother but good to go with mates, your laid back (non high maintenance) girlfriend or even your wife. It isn't Buffalo Wild Wings but on the whole I am pleased there is somewhere in Scotland doing wings. ( worth a visit just don't forget to bring a flashlight!)

I really wasn't sure what to make of this, before we went - but then loved it! It's nicer inside than I imagined, cosy with long tables. And the wings are just delicious - we tasted about seven different types and they were all great. Not ideal for a first date, I'd suggest - getting sauce all over your face isn't a great look ... but it's great - go and try it...

I was recommended this spot by a friend who had recently been on Edinburgh doing business. I think the conversation went something like... "You like Chicken wings", "Yup", "You need to go to Wings" (it might have been slightly longer, but that was the gist). It was with much trepidation I got my trusty Yelp app out, bookmarked the venue and noted the recommendation. On arrival in Edinburgh, I was peckish. "What better", I thought to myself, "...than some delicious Chicken wings to curb this growing hunger" and off I set. The venue is ideally placed just off the Royal Mile. If you approach from the top and then head down the little alleyway, it's only a teensie bit down from the street level - so easy to manoeuvre. I got in, nabbed a table for two and perused the menu. Now, I didn't count how many types of chicken wings were on offer - but there has to be over 100. Between heavily sauced, dry rubbed and alcohol tinged; you want it - they got it. All the wings are the same price per portion and a portion consists of 6 wings. I would say for a meal, you might want to order two or three portions per person. I opted for whisky and black pepper and was not disappointed! Plenty of meat, the heat of the whisky and the flavour of the black pepper really complemented eachother. I ordered a beer to go with this and sat back and enjoyed my book. Over the course of the evening another beer was consumed and one bought for my gal, Jody B. I am pleased to report that on top of the fantastic surroundings, the geeky decoration, the delicious wings and the bang on service... my bill was £14. Will I be back? You bet your bottom dollar I will be.

Wing is great for casual dining and playing games. The menu is very simple, chicken wings, nuggets, deep fried cheese, tortilla chips, fries and I think that's it. It's really not a place to go for vegetarians to eat. The awesomeness comes from the choice of about 100 sauces and dry runs that go with it. There are so many to choose from that it's unreal. You get 6 wings or nuggets in a portion. They have a good selection of beers to accompany the chicken along with awesome milkshakes and a good selection of soft drinks. The entire place is geek themed every time you notice something different like the giant weeping angel casually hanging out in the corner. They have a huge pile of games for you to borrow so it makes for a relaxed place to eat then drink beer and disturb the people at the next table with cards against humanity.

The idea is great, don't get me wrong. All my favourite Edinburgh takeaways are based on simple ideas (see: Los Cardos, Oink, et al.) and the idea behind Wings is as simple as you like. The execution, however, is in need of work. We came round here for a cheeky couple of takeaway bowls. We opted for Tiger and Charlic. The Tiger wings were lovely, the sauce had a nice heat and great flavour. The Charlic ones less so. They tasted okay, but there didn't seem to be any skill involved. They looked like a half-dozen wings that have been under a teaspoon of chilli flakes.... there was no garlic to note. On top of that I found our wings to be overcooked. I've had moister wings out of a Morrisons deli. It all seemed a bit conveyor belt-ish and not entirely fresh. I'll go back and give them a chance to sway my vote, after all they are impressively cheap and have an abundance of flavour options... it'll be interesting to see how different the varying 'groups' of flavours are from each other. Anyway, I'm off now to start my own, more successful venture.... I'm calling it Thighs! Mmmm.....

Wings! Wings! I love me some Wings! So, we were in Edinburgh for the Fringe, and needed some food. Preferably fast too! I suggested Wings, after visiting their old place last year with the awesome Edinburgh Yelpers. We arrived and I was a little confused about their new space (as it seemed so small!) but it actually goes through to the left and has a space downstairs. As they were really busy, the only table they had was outside but that was perfectly fine. We looked over the menu and I went for Gene Parmesan and the special of Lemon Pot Noodle, with a rum and lemonade. The wings were delivered super fast and I was impressed with both my dishes. Lemon pot noodle probably wins for flavour as it did taste just like pot noodle (actually, better as I always find pot noodle a bit bland). Nicely cooked chicken which was soft and tender inside, and a nice bit of crispness on the outside. Gene Parmesan was also delicious, although maybe too much sauce - but as Alex S pointed out, it makes perfect dipping sauce for your chips so that works! Service was super friendly and helpful, I have no idea how these people stay so chipper and happy even on a heaving Saturday (maybe they're high off the smell of wings, I know I was). With wings coming in at £3.50 for a pot of 6, cheap drinks and a good vibe (apart from someone on a stag do vomiting right by our table in the gutter), I have to give wings a happy 5 stars.

This place deserves more than 5 stars! An amazing little gem that you equally want to loudly rave about it but also keep it a secret to ensure you can always get a table. :). The choices for the wings toppings are great from dry rubs to tantalising sauces! My fav is the hot blue cheese sauce. Such a reasonably priced place for both food and drink. Service is great, friendly folk who all want you to have fun. Recently went on a Thursday night for their quiz, came last but such a good night with lots of laughs!

"If you're a geek and like wings you should check this place out" was how my friend suggested Wings Edinburgh. I actually thought she was talking about two different places on the Royal Mile, but one day we were up there looking for a place for lunch and I saw lots of positive reviews on Yelp, so we started looking. It is kind of hidden down Old Fishmarket Close, but worth the hunt. The minute I walked in the door and saw the Star Wars Walkers humping I understood my friend's comment. Before we even sat down the Mrs was begging for a picture with the Weeping Angel in the corner. The wings we tasty. I had the Imperial Tiger which was a good hot wing. Only thing that would have made it better would have been if it had free wifi, which seems kind of a glaring omission on this shrine to geekdom.

What I'm about to say is controversial. - I've never been a huge fan of wings. I've never really enjoyed the process of eating them; working your way around the bones to get to the meat wasn't something I warmed to. And, to me, they tend to be a bit samey; always with a barbecue flavour. Wings changed that. The Gene Parmesan was a juicy hot mess of parmesan and caesar sauce. SO, SO good. The sauces here are outer-worldy. Usually I have a favourite and I stick to it, but there's so much variety at Wings that I want to try them all. The interior of Wings is super cool. It's comic book inspired; zany and bright with something to see at every corner. - The attention to detail is clear. The Wings experience is fun and memorable. And I look forward to working my way through every single one of the sauces!

Every flavor of wings I tried was delicious and as an LA native we have no shortage of epic wing places. My entire stay in Edinburgh was fantastic but this place was certainly a highlight. Ran into some fantastic people and had a few to many pints. Can't wait to go back.

Can't say enough about how awesome this place is! I came upon this place while searching for cool places to eat in Edinburgh and I'm so glad I did. Prices were extremely affordable for food and drink. The atmosphere was amazing, with a very young crowd where we were sitting, a projector tv playing music videos and a classic sega console at our table. I attempted the suicide wing challenge and they were by far the hottest thing I've ever attempted to eat. I managed to eat three haha The other wings we ordered were super crispy and had a ton of sauce on them. They were perfect in my opinion and wish that more places in America prepared their wings this well. If you're looking for a cheap place to get some food, drinks and have a great time be sure to stop by while you're in Edinburgh!

I didn't have any high expectations for this place. I've been told it does chicken wings in various amounts of different sauces. It was good that I didn't have any expectations either. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken wings! It's simple. It's basic. It's good value. For my wings I choose "sad day" - blue cheese and the "new worldler" - maple syrup and bacon bits BBQ sauce. I share some chips too - these are pretty good for cleaning out the sauce that you don't catch with the wings. As I'm not big on beer (I just haven't yet met my match) I choose a magners cider. You get six wings in each portion of sauce. It's fills you up and leaves you feeling all warm inside. Great value = £25 for 2 alcoholic drinks, four portions of wings and a portion of chips for two people.

Finally got around to visiting Wings Edinburgh for the first time after planning a visit for months! I'm worse than Hamlet when it comes to procrastination. However, something certainly isn't rotten in the state of Wings. This is a great little joint, hidden away between the Royal Mile and the Cowgate. The concept is simple- wings come in bowls of 6, and you have a MASSIVE selection of sauces to choose from, everything from the wonderfully named "Nae Nonsense" BBQ to some extremely hot sauces. I'm not one for spice, but if you are, try the Wall of Flame Suicide Challenge. From speaking to people who have tried it, it sounds pretty intense, but the chance to get yourself up on the wall might make it totally worth it! Apart from wings, the food menu is sparse- some little nibbles like chips etc, but what do you expect? If you come here, you want wings, and lots of them. And the wings are good. They also have a nice selection of beers at reasonable prices, and, best of all, RETRO VIDEO GAMES. Nintendo 64, Gamecube etc. When I was there, they also had Pirates of the Caribbean playing loudly on the big screen, so all of the stories told at my table sounded great when combined with the dramatic music.

What a fantastic place! What we loved about this place was the fair price of the food, the quality of the wings, and the amount of sauce they have you. Certain sauces (blue cheese and buffalo) need to be mixed a little more so you really get them both at the same time. But otherwise we went here two nights in a row!

Chicken, hot sauce, beer, sun trap, amazing staff, cheapest drink is irn bru. Please go to this place, it is the best. Don't miss out like me, having spent two years in Edinburgh with this amazing place round the corner from me = two years less of this chicken inside of my belly making it happy. Poor poor stomach, now it knows what it was missing.
