(Disclaimer: I ordered this through instacart (UberEats) and he picked it up quick and delivered it). I ordered the $30 combo pack they have. 4 types of wings and two fries. All of the chicken wings I ordered were absolutely disgusting. I grew up in upstate New York, home of the Buffalo wing...I love chicken wings and know I may be bias, but I usually can't turn away from one because a wing is a wing. However, these are hands down the worst chicken wings I've ever had (besides eating a cold soggy leftover Domino's "chicken wing" after a late night at the club when I was 21). But I digress. To start, just by opening the box and looking at them, I knew it wouldn't be good. The wings themselves were fatty, pale, soggy and undercooked. Absolutely disgusting. They were also very greasy which it's confusing to me. I took one bite and I instantly knew this was a mistake. But I was trying to be optimistic. Then I tried a little bit of the other flavors and had to stop. The sauces were all wrong. The buffalo sauce was like a red vaseline paste with cayenne pepper added to it, yet somehow it tasted like nothing and no actual flavor. The garlic parmesan wings weren't even properly coated with sauce (see in the picture) and it was all garlic "nose heat" but bland butter flavor, and needed salt just to balance it out. The dill pickle was ok, but the wings were so soggy and chewy I had to stop eating. Then, I had an amazing thought to dry the dry rub butter cheese (because that doesn't have sauce so how could they mess that up?) and it was the worst one. Soggy, no flavor, fatty, disgusting. Honestly, even the side of blue cheese tasted like crap. The fries were fries. Nothing mind-blowing but I was grateful to have something edible to eat. My 4-year-old daughter and I basically just ate french fries for dinner. My kitchen sink and counter outlets have an issue and aren't working right now. The last thing I wanted to do was waste more time cooking and having to wash my pots and pans down in the basement in the laundry sink with a bin. That is why I wanted to order take-out tonight so I could catch a break for once. Anyway, I honestly don't understand how you can actually send this food out to paying customers. I'm a single parent and wanted to get my daughter a little treat for dinner from having a busy week. I don't get takeout often I'm just trying to survive society but I had some rewards through instacart and $0 delivery so I figured it would be a good thing. I admit that I made a mistake. This was me being annoyed, it was actually upsetting, and my daughter was upset as well because she was hungry and didn't like them either. . I have had the wings at the location in Eastpointe a couple of times...my mom lives over there. For mother's day my mom and I request to have chicken wings for dinner as a family (with my siblings and their wives) which means we do love wings and consider ourselves connoisseurs (casual ones of course) At that location, yes the wings are good. Not amazing, but it serves its purpose. Pro tip: If you're only going to make wings as a business concept they better be damn good. Especially with a name like yours (claiming the entity after an entire city) needs to uphold better quality to reflect positivity on Detroit. So now, it is 8:45pm, I'm defeated, my kid is upset and hungry and it's time for bed. Actually, I'm not feeling defeated, I'm pissed. And I want my money back. read more

DO NOT order the firecracker sauce. Threw away all the wings, this flavor is seriously inedible. On the other hand sweet heat was probably the best flavor. read more

I placed an online order around 6:50 PM with a pickup time of 7:26. I showed up at 7:30, showed my receipt, and was told my food wasn't ready yet. No big deal -- I waited. Over the next hour, I watched other guests looking just as frustrated as me. The employee at the counter had headphones in, was chewing gum, and mumbled so badly it was hard to understand her. She kept giving me different answers: first that my order was "being worked on," then later that it was never received, or maybe handed to someone else. By the time Uber Eats support called the store, they decided to just cancel my order without even telling me directly. I wasted over an hour sitting there, got no food, missed the first hour of the Lions game, and had to scramble to order from another restaurant. On top of all that, the lack of professionalism was glaring -- headphones, gum chewing, poor communication, and zero accountability. Nobody stepped in to fix the situation or even apologize. I was genuinely excited to try this place, but this was easily one of the worst takeout experiences I've ever had. Based on what I saw, I won't be coming back to the Ferndale location. read more

I'm not sure why the lower ratings exist on Yelp! but my experiences at this location, including yesterday for takeout Hot Buffalo 10/10 split f boneless and traditional could not have been better. I used the app to order and just as it said $19.99 for 20 meaty wings, cooked to perfection with the extra sauce requested and no extra charge and ready within 15 minutes as promised on the app. Went in, friendly staff to get my order quickly that was hot and ready to enjoy while watching the game. Will go again. read more

Idk what's up with the DWC slander on Yelp. DoorDash had bogo deal which amounted to 20 wings for $15. As far as chains go, I'd choose this local franchise over wing stop/BWW anyday. Order was accurate and food was hot when I picked it up. read more

See all

Overall the service was good. They were quick to bring out our order especially since we were a walk in. However the food was quite disappointing. The mac and cheese that was supposed to be spicy definitely wasn't and really lacked sauce and flavor. I will say the noodles were a fun shape to eat. The sweet heat red sauce was basically just hot and no sweet. Very sad tbh. The parm garlic was ok. Nothing amazing to report. Overall I would not come back for the food. read more

Detroit Wing Company - Mac and cheese with wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

This place is actually crack! I waited to write this review after ordering from them twice now. Both times they didn't disappoint. That habanero sauce for the wings is fire. Put that same seasoning on the fries and you've got yourself a party. Seriously I love wings and this place is way better than Bdubs and most of the other wing spots in the area. Super crispy, good meat quality. Very quick service too. Overall, super solid. Def want to try some different flavors next time. read more

Called to ensure they were open today, New Year's Eve. Spoke with a female at this location shortly after 8 PM tonight who said they were open until 10 pm. Placed an order online about 8:40 for pick up at 9:15, show up, door locked and they said they are closed. Never mind the fact that my card was charged for this order. Real professional! So these scammers are saying they'll refund me but cannot refund the tip I provided. So if you actually choose to order from this place and wish to gamble whether they will be open or not. DO NOT TIP THEM! read more

We love DWC but this is the worst location we've experienced. They got the order incorrect. Cold limp fries. Cold wings with very little sauce. Hope they can improve service in the future read more

Detroit Wing Company - Food - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

The boneless wings are great - crispy, crunchy, and delicious. The buffalo chicken dip is fantastic as well. I have ordered carryout four times since they opened, and the service has always been good, even when I called right before they closed. Excellent addition to the strip mall that no one wanted - If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! read more

Black lady short hair bad attitude, came in she didn't speak they was out the sauce I wanted, they was out of fried cauliflower. I feel like because it was 30 minutes until closing she didn't want to fix anything because I called 3 times to place an order and no one answered the phone I pulled up and they were open I won't be going back there again. Bad experience read more

DWC is perfect for carry out wings: crispy, flavorful and quick. The service is great. I called to change an order I screwed up online and they took care of everything with no issue. read more

The wings tasted like they were deep fried in WD-40. The french fries were suppose to be well done and my dick is harder than they were!

Went to order online at 7 and it kicked me out a few times. I tried calling to place my order at 7:32 and they told me they stop taking orders at 7:30. Understandable but it's 2 minutes over and I explained the online ordering wasn't working. Person on the phone was unhelpful and short read more
