We went to the Wild Wing Cafe yesterday for the first time in ages. This was a reliable decent place to go to. Oh well, not anymore. The place was apparently sold and caters to a ... different ... demographic now. It seriously was like feeding time at the zoo. Any conversation was impossible. Even our server, when she wasn't busy shucking and jiving with other party animals, couldn't hear when we placed our pretty simple food and beverage order. Very frustrating, and a sign of things to come. The smell of marijuana in the parking lot should have tipped us off. No drinks appeared after 15 minutes. Finally three of the four drinks arrived. The first food arrived 26 minutes later ... but only two of our four orders. Eleven more minutes passed, no food, at which point we walked out. The sheer "din" of the noise was painful. People were screaming to be heard in conversation. We couldn't take it. We paid and left. And the cashier person (I hope it was a cashier) thought it was funny. It wasn't. I should have read the current Yelp and Google reviews before choosing this place. Disaster! RIP, Wild Wings. Enjoy that new demographic. read more

The food was nice! But the wait was NOT that place was JUST empty if you wanna have wrinkles, the wait will give you some I'm going to say the food was decent the wait wasn't. The waiter had 1 table (which was us) and she did not intend at the table a lot! But she was nice read more

Worst Restaurant Ever!! If I could give it zero stars, I would!!! I ordered chicken wings and waited 10, 20 ,30 , then after 50 minutes, I asked the bartender to check on my wings, which she promptly did. She returned and politely told me my food wasn't coming...at all. She gave no reason just "your food isn't coming "...This is the WORST restaurant in the United States!! I paid for my drink and left. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT EVER CONSIDER GOING HERE!!! You'll be glad you didn't!! read more

Wings are dry and the price was over then what you'd pay anywhere else. One thing to note is they are always slow getting you food. Different times and different days have proved that it doesn't matter. Why I keep going back I have no clue, but if you want a drink and not food it's a place to go watch the game. That's really all it has going for it read more

Gave them a shot at the title. They nailed it. Everyone who eats wings knows that over the last few years, quality has been declining. Buffalo Wild Wings is now subpar. But not here. The wings were awesome. The home fries cooked to perfection. The broccoli perfectly steamed. Absolutely wonderful!!!! read more

I normally have a lot of patience with restaurants, especially with experience in the service industry. The wait staff was very kind and apologetic, but unfortunately we waited over an hour to find out they had not yet made our food. Shortly after, they brought a totally incorrect order, and told us they didn't have fries yet. There were about 5 other tables in the restaurant, it seemed like others were also having issues. The men's restroom was disgusting, smelled of burnt Marijuana, and the floor was sticky? After approximately an hour we decided to leave, at this point we were told by the staff that our food was about 5 minutes from being done. I explained to the staff, we had waited an hour, been patient as the kitchen mixed up orders (we were told this about 30 minutes after we arrived). I asked if the manager was going to stick the waitress with the bill if we left, we were told "we haven't made the food yet, so no". Would not recommend, even under the new management. At least the previous management gave us food (although it was wrong and terrible) read more

I have been going here off and on since they opened. I continue to support despite the decline in service, My wings were good however they don't do anything for birthdays anymore and I was highly disappointed... Given the fact that I have given them a a lot of my money the least you could do is bring out a brownie as they have in the past... I was very disappointed and I can see why the business is declining.,,,,Also I requested a manager and I was told that she refused to come out. Happy Birthday to me! read more

Why all the hate for Wild Wing Cafe? I have to set yall straight. I wish there was a Wild Wing Cafe in Dothan, AL where I am from. There are a million TVs in here to watch a game and nothing goes better with a game than wings and drinks. I have never had anything on the menu except for wings and there are 30 flavors to choose from. You cannot go wrong with any of the BBQ flavors. Personally, I love the Flying Fajita which tastes more like a teriyaki than Mexican flavor to me. Today, I had Flaming Parmesan which might be my next new favorite. It had the spiciness of the Buffalo sauce and all of the taste of Garlic Parmesan. The ranch tastes like it is made in-house. Sweet tea was maybe the best part! It was superior tea. The only complaint I have with Wild Wing is that I ordered my wings extra wet, which they failed at miserably. (I don't understand how to make wing places understand that extra wet means sopping wet...not what is normal.) Anyway, I asked for extra sauce and the waitress was about to charge me for it until I pointed out that I requested my wings to be extra wet. She got me some more sauce and didn't charge me. But places that charge for extra sauce always receive a star deduction from me. It's ridiculous to pay for extra sauce like it's made from gold or a short supply. read more

What has happened to Wild Wing?? Used to be busy place. The atmosphere has changed dramatically with non-working TVs, problems in kitchen and out of menu items. The sign at hostess station that lists specials is no longer accurate. Place is mainly empty now. Wait staff trying but it's not their fault. Manager came to table but did not understand what problem was-he only smiled. We had our food on disposable plates. Please if you are the owner-call Jon Taffer and have a Bar Rescue!! read more

We don't call it wild wing cafe. We call it the "shitty service and shitty food" because along with watered down alcohol that's what anyone should expect. read more

One of my favorite establishments is Wild Wing Cafe. The Buffalo Shrimp was better when it was served on a bed of rice. The service provided by Sara at the bar was horrible. I couldn't order and then when I did order it took forever to receive my food/drinks. read more

Wild Wing Cafe - Buffalo Shrimp - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Started off great but didn't end well. The food was greasy and warm even though the waitress stated that it just came out the fryer. We asked to speak to a manager but the manager declined and just gave us a discount. We insisted on speaking on to a manager but he refused to come out and talk to us and then the server began to tell us things that were on the menu that was not on the menu and said that she don't know why we would think certain things if it's on the menu but it wasn't. Bad service, bad management, bad food so I'll never come back. read more

The food sucks and drinks are mediocre. The main bartender is a mega thirst who is inappropriate around men whether they're with someone or not. I just wanted wings and some drinks. read more

So I walked in, there is music AND a football game blasting at eleven. They also have a terrible harmonic buzz from their speakers, likely because they are way too loud. The table is sticky. So is the floor. Seriously considering just going somewhere else. Yea, this place is awful. I'm going elsewhere. read more

Gerald, the kitchen Manager, went out of his way to accommodate us when we got there at 9:42 pm thinking they were open til 11 (per the website). We had also attempted to call several times prior to coming and it was busy every time. ( Turns out it was the wrong number.) Gerald not only let us eat; he fixed our food himself! Bre, our waitress, was also really kind! Gerald was so awesome! We're coming back just because of his stellar customer service! read more

On a Saturday afternoon the servers and bartender were clearly overwhelmed. Drinks came out so slow I tried ordering multiple knowing another wasn't coming for 30 minutes. read more

The food is very good here, but for the third time in two months I have stood at the entrance stand for over 5 minutes without being acknowledged. Tonight a guy that works there came up and I thought he was going to seat me, but he grabbed the phone and walked away. I could understand if they were understaffed and too busy, but there were 3 waitresses sitting nearby folding napkins. They never looked toward the front. Not going back! read more

This was by far the WORSE EXPERIENCE I've ever had at Wild Wing. The bartender tonight she absolutely sucked. Me and my husband waited almost 8 minutes before even being greeted. We sat and watched her stand across the way talking to another employee and eating. We also witnessed another young man walk in after us, and was greeted before we were. When she finally realized we existed we were handed dirty menus and basically rushed to order. The drinks were very distasteful. My husband and I was absolutely disappointed to the point we just paid for our drinks and left. We come often but after the service we received tonight we will not be back. read more

Food is great. Service is great. Enjoy the bi go and trivia nights. The boss wings are my favorite then the ranchalotta wings .. burgers are good too read more

Near empty last night at 7:30. Probably due to the blaring volume of karaoke. My sister and I sat on the covered patio outside and were nonstop harassed by strange men from the bar (we were not at the bar, bar guests were going to bother people at their tables). They were extremely nasty to us when we declined their advances and refused to talk to them. The manager on duty needs to be mindful of what is happening at all times-- especially mindful of the way their guests poor behavior affects other guests, instead of hanging out with guests at the bar and not paying attention to the restaurant at all. I'm a manager in restaurant hospitality myself, and I truly mean it when I say this place is a literal joke. We took our food Togo (after waiting 25 min for wings) to get away from the skeevy bar guests. Our server apologized and was super nice. read more

Today was the worse experience I've ever had at Wild Wing. One main problem is every time me and my husband come in here there's a new face behind the bar. The girl back there today was horrible, from customer service to her attitude. We waited 6-8mins before even being greeted. Crazy part is they weren't even busy!!!!! Think she said her name is Jessi or Jessica whichever. She was horrible! Food came out hot which was a plus. Drinks were very distasteful, and she had the worse attitude when we asked for them to be remade. Me and my husband will not be coming back to this location. Im okay with making that drive to the Opelika instead. read more

My particular wings tasted burnt but I wasn't sure if it was the ingredients burnt or the grease. My broccoli was dirty all the way through. I let my waitress know but wasn't asking her to return it and she just looked and took it. Matter of fact I had to ask all other waiters to wait on my table cuz our waitress disappeared for 30 min off the floor once we were served. She came back when it was time to pay and be tipped acting as though she was concerned about how our food was. My husband tipped her anyways but I wouldn't reward bad behavior if I was paying. I'm on thre fence about returning here. read more

Definitely my new spot and the best waitress experienced ever! Katelyn was remarkable. Don't miss out on the traditional wings(Atomic Meltdown, Red Dragon, and The Boss). read more

The just don't care. I don't say that often about a restaurant. They don't care. They don't care about their customers(masks worn incorrectly), they don't care about their customer service. (Rude, later order, wrong order.) they don't care about their food. (Burnt and not what I ordered.) I won't be going here again. It's unfortunate that a lot of places are trying so hard during this pandemic, and wild wing is just like yeah whatever. The place seems to be packed pretty often, and I just don't know why. The only good thing I have to say, is that they do have good Buffalo chicken dip. Everything else I've had was wrong and burnt, or not cooked enough. Barely cooked fries and a burnt burger. Do better. You guys messaged my husband about the service then literally never said anything else. I just to save face I guess? Anyway. Do not recommend. read more

I've never left a review before, so this is big of me. I want to be accurate to paint the full picture. I'll start with getting rid of Crystal behind the bar at Wild Wings Cafe in Columbus, GA, was a terrible decision. I met her just a few months ago when I moved here from Arizona. I knew right away that I wanted to come back here because her service was on point to say the least. She was always extremely attentive, competent in her bartending duties, and cared so much about the Wild Wing's Cafe customer base. Without Crystal working behind the bar at Wild Wing's, lately, it seems that the business has taken a turn for the worse. On April 18th, 2023, around 7:30PM, we went out for the Wild Wing's Trivia night. Myself and at least four other separate customers at the bar top were having conversations about how we have felt highly ignored this evening and other evenings as of recently. Tonight, a Tuesday evening (sort of a slow night), was one of the worst experiences at Wild Wings in Columbus. My friend and I got a spot at the bar quickly, but waited almost 45 minutes for our first drink to be placed down. There were dirty dishes and empty beers sitting in front of us the entire 45 minutes from the person who was there before. The waitress never wiped the area in front of us when the dishes were finally removed from the previous customer (not very clean in my opinion-gross)!! My friend and I placed an order of wings and a burger at the same time we had placed our first drink order. It later on was brought to our attention (almost 30 MORE minutes later), that the bartender never even put our food order in at all. We waited a very long time on the food order. During the rest of our stay at this trivia night, we and others at the bar waited 30 minutes or so it seemed for a drink each time we wanted a refill. We were pushing our glasses forward because they were empty with no staff refilling them. We couldn't help but to compare the subpar service here this evening to when a bartender named Crystal was behind the bar working. Her bright smile and happy personality is truly missed by everyone, while the bartender tonight walks back and forth ignoring the bar top customers as well as their empty drinks and dirty plates. Upper management needs to take a hard look or maybe come inside more often and be an actual customer to personally see how much longer service is taking these past few weeks without Crystal here. Tonight, I had to use my hands that had wings sauce on them to reach for my own cocktail straws, napkins, ask for limes, all while I'm eating messy wings. This is gross! Customers should not be reaching into the bins because they aren't getting napkins or straws. The napkins in the square box were near empty to top it off, so my hand had to go at least 3/4 into the black container. As a customer eating wings this is really unsatisfactory. My friends and I feel highly ignored here tonight and we all have had to ask for the bartender to come over to serve us more drinks. The bartender fails to acknowledge us at all, check on our side of the bar, and seems to keep her back turned towards us when she has walked by because all I can see is her name on the back of her pink shirt each time. I should have taken a photo of my stacked two cups with napkins in them to add to this yelp review post since it sat in front of me while we were ignored. When I pick where I want to go to in Columbus for cocktails and dinner, I think of the service, food and entertainment. This place used to have all of them on point with Crystal back there, but it's actually made me wish I'd gone to Old Chicago tonight which is just a few blocks away. I had become somewhat of "a regular," but I'm not sure when I'll be back to Wild Wings as I'll be looking for a place that has bartenders who actually "tend," to their customers and seem like they care about their needs while they are dining. Another sad point to make is that this all is occurring between the hours of 7:30PM-10PM, on a Tuesday night. The trivia night today was not near full capacity, in fact I think there were maybe four teams playing and so there wasn't even the leg to stand on of the place being busy. It's really just sad. I see business there declining longer term with this sort of ignorance, staff incompetency and lack of service which is too bad since the entertainment here is pretty good. Myself and many other customers at the bar tonight have all stated when it was brought up about "where is Crystal," that they are all upset for the changeover. I decided to write this review because it was the feeling of multiple regulars and I truly hope it's recognized to bring back the better staff to keep the customers happier and leaving feeling it was a good choice to go there. Hopefully someone looks at the overall best interest of the business and sees the differences we all see. Hopefully. read more

Did a to go order and wings were supposed to include celery and carrots, were not included. The appetizer tater tots were dried out and barely edible. Wings were dry and overall the ordering experience was not good. Waste of money read more

I'm not one to leave negative reviews but this was probably the worst service we have ever received at Wild Wings. My husband and I went to wild wings quite frequently before the pandemic food was always great, and service was decent. After the pandemic food/service were always hit or miss but we continued to come back. I myself was working in the service industry both pre/post pandemic and I know the struggles that that shutdowns caused on the industry, between the lack of people willing to come back to work, and the general public all of the sudden being increasingly unreasonable and rude to people in the service industry, the industry has had a hard time bouncing back. I bring this up because at 4 years post pandemic, the things I witnessed today isn't because of these issues but rather lack of leadership in management, and lack of a sense of urgency between wait and kitchen staff. We came to eat on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00 when most restaurants in the area will be on a 30-40 minute wait at this time, your restaurant only had about 5 tables and 4 or 5 guest at the bar. After being taken to our seats and getting my 2 young kids in their high chairs and set up to eat we waited 10 minutes or so before the host came up to us and said "your sever will be taking your order but I'm going to go ahead and grab your drinks" perfectly acceptable especially if the server is. Losing our a big party or something. I ordered a tea my husband ordered a beer after we received our drinks we waited another 20 minutes before our server came over to us greeted us and took our order. We ordered an appetizer and my kids food to come out first and then my husband and I both ordered wings. Another 20 minutes goes by and our server came by asked my husband if he wanted another beer and said "your appetizer will be our shortly" about 15 minutes later our appetizer showed up followed directly by my kids food and then 5-10 mins more our entrees came. Because I have been in this situation before I believe our server forgot to ring in the appetizer and kids food and realized it when she asked about my husbands beer. And has one made on the fly. Hey things happen, I'll never be mad at a server for making a mistake, but an apology is the least they can do. On our entrees both of our ranches were hot which indicates to me they were sitting under the heat lamp in the window for quite some time. My husbands were so dry he didn't even eat them. During this time I counted and there were a total of 7 tables in the restaurant and and the largest party may have been 6 people, 3 servers and a bartender. That would be an average of 2 tables per sever. As someone who worked in the industry over 10 years this isn't busy enough for us to wait over 20 minutes to be greeted and over an hour for food, unless the restaurant was not staffed properly. When we did see our server she was attentive and made sure our drinks were full but there was definitely a lack of sense of urgency from her or apology for the wait. I also witnessed an older couple that were sat and waited 20 minutes and left because no one even greeted them. read more

ABSOLUTE TRASH. All the workers hanging out in the back corner office. Never was given service in over twenty minutes. Informed them we were not offered drinks, still never came for service. ZERO WORK ETHIC. read more

19 Feb 2022: how can I give zero stars? We waited 15 minutes to be seated. Then we ordered water and a beer. 20 minutes to get water. 30 minutes - was told they were doing a keg swap, then told they were out of our beer. 10 minutes later we got our beer. 30 minutes later - we were told that our food order had not been put in - and that they would get it right in and would be out in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later. I handed the waitress my credit card and told her to cash us out. They charged me full price for the beers. Never go here again. Left $0.00 for a tip. Manager ask me was there anything he could do. I told him to hire people and stop saying because of COVID they are short staffed. Then he gets pissy, the model of shit leadership. read more

I've been here several times to meet with a girlfriend. The food and the drinks are really great. I mean it's Wild Wing...TVs everywhere and the beer is flowing and is cold. Don't expect a high quality fancy meal. Come here for football or some other sporting event because you'll be right at home if you do. I haven't had anything but wings here and they are good and REAL chicken. French fries are delish too. As long as they keep the Patron flowing I'll be there. read more

please read before you eat here I will not be coming here again. My girlfriend order a Salad and wings. The server took the food to wrong table and they thought it was there food, they lady at the table put her food on top of the salad after realizing that it was the wrong salad gave it back to the server, then sever went to waitress and said it was not that table, the lady from the table realize she left her food on top of a salad. Went get her food back. The waitress then brought the food over to our table after the lady who took her food off the salad. After telling my girl friend what I saw the lady from the table came over and told my girl friend the same thing. THIS IS Unsanitary as you can get. With all the people in Columbus getting sick now I know why. My opinion don't EAT HERE. And if I could give them a half star I would. read more

Well, I should've looked at the reviews before we stopped. It took 40 minutes for our food to come and it was cold. We had ask another server to help us because we needed condiments and refills and our waitress never came back. We observed plenty of staff so it's hard to know what the problem was. As an aside, her shorts were short and she kept pulling on them while she took our order, as she walked around, etc...we really weren't keen on having her serve our food...I wouldn't recommend. read more

So I went to wild wing cafe for my birthday dinner and it was different, the menu changed a lot. We had all went on a Tuesday where they play the trivia Tuesdays, which was fun. I order the Gold Rush Wings and fries and the buffalo chicken dip which was pretty good. My wing and fries was crispy just like I like them. & My fiancé and the LP Wings & Another Flavor I can't think of the name. His food was good as well. Great overall we had a good time some of my party bar drinks wasn't strong enough that's bout it lol. But my bar drink was good . read more

Worst experience of service continues. So it's MY fault the food is cold? And the temperature is objective??? NO!!! The server had the audacity to imply the food was hot! Did she put it in HER mouth??? No she did not...and I am appalled at the way my complaint of the 45 minute wait for some chicken feathers and fries was received. I will never order food from this despicable place ever again. No customer appreciation at all. read more
