Wings Etc - 10 Piece Wing - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Wings were okay, they're usually amazing but took forever to come out this time. What really annoyed me is having to ask THREE times for lime for my drink... each time I asked, waitress Jordan L brought me out lemon PLEASE someone go teach her the difference between a lime and lemon Jesus Christ, even my husband said "why does she keep bringing you lemon" ‍ read more

I couldn't believe the wings were good! The restaurant wasn't that busy when we went and the service was GREAT! Waiter was super attentive and didn't miss a beat! I cant speak for the other foods but I will be back and let yall know about it. read more

Went here and waited awhile to get our wings and they brought out all boneless. We ordered half traditional. Did not offer any discount since we had to wait another 20mins for the right wings to come out so frustrating!! Our kids ate the boneless and were ready to go home and we were still waiting on our traditional wings!! The wings are average. The service isn't great and next time you mess up an order which I understand it happens maybe pack up the mistake and let us take home all of the wings that were sitting at our table for a few mins instead of grabbing them and acting like we ordered wrong. At first we actually felt bad telling the waiter. The waiter did bring over a bone bowl for the traditional wings so obviously he knew we ordered traditional wings. Just anything would have been a nice gesture to gain us back as customers!! We are loyal when we love a restaurant...we usually pick food up and eat at home because we have 3 young kids but it's sad when sometimes you want to enjoy being out and the service is bad enough that you have to come home and write a review! Im just so upset!! We wont be back!!! Buffalo Wild Wings next time!! read more

For a Saturday night I would have thought this place would have been busier. We originally tried another restaurant down the road (on 12 that sometimes has live music) but we couldn't find a parking spot. So, we landed at WINGS, ETC. GRILL & PUB. Parking spots available & lots of places to sit - even at the bar! The bartender, Brianna, was very attentive. She immediately took our drink order, got us dinner menus, and took our order. We hadn't been here in a while so we each ordered something else than our usual! The Buffalo Chicken tacos were very good! I got it with blue cheese and it was tasty! Enough to take one of the three tacos home for lunch tomorrow! We also had the loaded cowboy (hamburger with bbq & onion rings) which was very good. This place has drink and food specials on different nights. I took pictures so check that out. This place has several tv's at the bar so rather than listen to a mediocre singer at the other place, we got to see a hockey game and basketball game. Why a 4 star instead of 5? I'm a Coca-cola girl and they only have Pepsi. read more

The wings are very good and meaty. The service is excellent. If you get their app they'll give you a few appetizer too. I've been here several times now and it's consistently been good - I recommend for a nice casual dinner. read more

Love it here! Usually the same bartender when we go and she is amazing. Food always good as well

Great wings, good size, always crispy. I love the hot honey garlic sauce, as well as the tweener sauce. Only thing I would say is lights over the tables and bars are buckets and they get in way of the TVs. A couple times I've been there they turn the TVs off while you're watching sports if it's anywhere near closing. They closed at 11 and by 1015 they were turning TVs off that people were clearly watching. Always check your bill as we were over charged for things we didn't order. read more

Wings Etc - Boneless wings, traditional wings (all flats) - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Food is good ,service was good , nice portions , nice atmosphere, the nachos were good but needed more meat tossed in there

I'm a loyal wings fan of another establishment. Unfortunately a location is not near Woodstock. My sister who lives in Indiana, and my coworker both suggested Wings Etc. On Saturday, I decided to pick up some of their wings after work. I was disappointed. I had the cha cha sweet chili and the Asian flavored wings. I ordered boneless because I call them adult chicken nuggets. They were just okay. The cha cha sweet chili sauce was the best. The Asian sauce fell flat on flavor. The best experience I had was with the pretzel bites. They were super tasty and I ordered them with the beer cheese. I was shocked that they were so small for what I paid for them. I expected the to-go container to be completely filled. It was not, and they had been freely rolling around in a container that was obviously too large for the order. All in all, I might go back should I get hungry again. Perhaps their sauces are better for the bone-in wings. One of their competitors is nearby, so I'll probably choose them before I come here again. Unless I get a craving for the pretzel bites. I recommend you eat at the restaurant instead of ordering takeout. read more

Wings Etc. in Crystal Lake is the best wing place hands down. They have the best wings, no matter what type you like. The wait staff is awesome. This is going to be a short review. There is nothing else to say. Simply the best!!!!! read more

My son and I are huge fans of wings, and have been very loyal customers of Wings and Rings in Crystal Lake. Their quality has gone down considerably lately,so we have been looking for a new wing joint. We ordered the cheese curds and onion rings as appetizers, curds were very good and the onion rings were good and crispy. My son ordered a chicken sandwich and he thought it was really good. I ordered traditional Wings with the TNT sauce. The Wings were big, well cooked and crispy, but way way to much sauce. I know many people enjoy their Wings smothered in sauce, but I personally prefer Wings tossed in sauce not submerged. Next time I will request the chef to go easy on the sauce. read more

Wings were over cooked and our chicken sandwich came out of the kitchen incorrect. Wait staff was busy doing who knows what because they weren't busy. Not impressed!!!! read more

Walked in. Waited 5 min. Didn't even look like anyone worked there. Walked out. Will never be back.

I ordered from wings etc via DoorDash last week and ordered the chicken Cesar salad , the portion size was huge. I placed an order today and this was the portion size seen below in the picture. I paid 10.99 for a full size salad and came home with what looks like a side salad for a small child. Since this was not the first time I ordered this meal I double checked my receipts to make sure that I ordered the correct item. It seems that you should unpack the food before you drive off to make sure your portion size is correct. I am really disappointed that after a $11 salad I am still starving. It is a huge size inconsistency. With dining being closed it is hard to return an order when you drive to pick it up. read more

Wings Etc - A "FULL SIZE" salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

I ordered 10 boneless wings. My son ordered 10 as well. I'm guessing they ran short because mine were literally cut in half. So I basically got 5 boneless wings. How can I be sure they were cut in half? Well, the longest part of each nugget had zero breading on it and my sons were twice the size of mine. What a damn rip off. I'll be contacting their corporate office. read more

Horrible wings. Dry and burnt. Didn't seem fresh. They weren't really sauced either. Over priced for crappy wings. Could find better at almost anywhere else. read more

This was my first time ordering. I ordered through door dash. That was fine. But when I received my order, it was wrong. Ate it anyway. Super bland and fries were cold and gross. The thing that really set me off is that I found a PIECE OF GLASS in my Dr Pepper. Took a big sip and thought it was a piece of ice. But then it cut my tongue so I immediately spit it out. Glass. How?? read more

Tried this with two of my boys for the first time. The inside is pretty cool and I like the atmosphere. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap which was pretty good. However, it didn't have a lot inside the wrap. It was a lot of tortilla. It was good tasting though. Tots were really good and I had them with the beer cheese. My son ordered nachos and they had a very odd taste to them. He said something to me and I brushed it off until I tasted it. I can pinpoint exactly what the odd taste was but something was off. The waitress however took care of him and got him a burger instead. My other son got the kids wings and loved them. The tots seemed to be a family favorite for us! I had Buffalo Wild Wings yesterday so I'd like to come back to try the wings. The service was really good. I would recommend this place and will return in the future. read more

Service was great. Did not have to ask for refills, great friendly waitstaff easy peasy ordering and payment. The wing experience for me vs others were opposite of what people are raving about. I ordered all drums, half bbq and half medium with side of ranch. The drums were overcooked, not moist or juicy. It was dry at some spots it was like a chicken jerky. Very Crispy. They do not toss the wings in the sauce, they poured it on the wing before serving it. Jumbo sized, I disagree it being jumbo. It was a regular sized just like BWW and Wing Stops. The sauce thickness were opposite of each other. Medium flavor sauce was watery and kind of flat, not as much kick I would expect in a regular medium buffalo sauce whilst the BBQ sauce was thick, nothing extraordinary about it whatsoever. Ranch was alright. I prefer BWWs ranch over this places ranch. Onion Rings was good. I liked the way it was beer battered and cut. Good balance to it. I would come back if others were coming here in my group to test other items on the menu as it was way more better looking and appealing than BBWs menu hands down read more

Awesome! We had Claire as our server. She was on top of it and had great comebacks to my partner who thinks he is so hilarious. Food was great Had hot wings and had to say....much better than the big BWW.. definately going back to take advantage of the beer specials! Family friendly. Great time. read more

Wings Etc - Go Bulls! Lots of tvs to watch. - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

We decided to make a stop here based on a fellow Yelpers raving review and some correspondence. I brought the entire family here during the week at an off time. It was just past the normal lunch hour, so the place wasn't busy at all. In fact I think we were the only ones not sitting at the bar. So the service was pretty good. The waitress was attentive and nice. Now I love hot wings. I don't care where you go; I love a good hot wing. Walking into a restaurant named Wings Etc. I came in with some very high expectations. Being new to the place we wanted to try their various sauces and we agreed on five different ones. Hot, Me-So-Spicy, Spicy Hot Honey, Sweet Chili "Cha-Cha" and Gar-Licky-Parm. What was funny is that it was my 10 year old son that ordered the Hot. Even after the waitress, my wife and even I warned him that he may want to sample it first because not all wing places "Hot" are the same. Needless to say, my son who takes more after me than his mother when it comes to Spicy food thought it was just a tad too warm for him. I thought they had a good heat, not too bad. The family favorite was the Sweet Chili "Cha-Cha". No one at the table liked the Spicy Hot Honey at all. The rest of them were okay, not great, but definitely not bad. I was just hoping for a better flavor from the sauces we choose. I'm not trying to compare it to other places I've been to, but some of the sauces seemed to pale in comparison to similar products at other chain wing restaurants. I won't go out of my way to eat here again, but if I'm in the mood for wings and there is one nearby. I'd give them a try. read more

We have eaten here a few times & we have found that we enjoy it more every time. In my opinion, this is a step up from Bdubs. The Chili here is my all time fav!! I always order some of their wings, with a couple of their unique sauces. They have a huuuuge menu. You can order a Homewrecker hot dog, BBQ pulled pork sandwich, buffalo Chicken wrap and a ton of other options. This is definitely hidden in a strip mall and very close to Bdubs, so it doesn't get the attention it deserves. If you give it a try, I am sure it will become one of your favorite wings stops! read more

Wings Etc - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Very nice place to go out to have some wings. I've been going to Wings, etc for about 5 years now. When the economy was really bad, this place was dead. Recently it's been really getting busy, which is good for them. Anyway, the wings are very good. They have a big schooner beer that is a good value. And actually, there burgers are pretty good too. My absolute favorite thing about this place is there wait staff. Always friendly and always happy. If you like wings and don't particularly like Buffalo Wild Wings, this is the place for you. read more

Just had dinner here last night, and the first time in years! Overall, I would say it was just an alright place but at the same time that's no reason to not go back... This is a small bar/restaurant on Northwest Highway with good service. On a Wednesday night, they weren't very busy so service may vary but we had a good experience. The food was just alright. But if I had to guess they have better appetizers than they do entrees but it was not awful either. My friend had the loaded chili. I ordered the big chicken salad without olives (basically a Cobb salad) with Bleu Cheese dressing. It was a good salad but not the best salad ever, either. I also ordered a mai tai which was pretty good...but remember to steer it.. all the alcohol was at the bottom! read more

Good food, good people, music is club music (weird) and crazy loud (even for a sports bar), but any time I've requested a lower volume, they're on it like white on rice. It's good. Entrance is on the opposite side from 14. Go, you'll like it read more

Pretty good wings, excellent, Ranch dressing, and the beer is cold! Wait staff is great.

My husband and I come to wings every Monday night! We love starting our week off with a great meal. We absolutely love the bartender Rachel. She is so attentive and always remembers our order. She goes above and beyond for her customers. Definitely makes sure everything is prefect for us. 5 stars everytime. read more

I've been coming here for years, and we really missed this restaurant during COVID-19. Recently, they brought back the Queso, and have been killing it with the service lately! Although we are sad to see some of the staff have moved on to other endeavors, Rachel was there when we went on Thursday, back again full time! Always attentive, amazing Moscow mules, and remembers the little things without us even having to ask. Even with what seemed like a completely full bar and a lot of phone/takeout orders, we never feel like the service here is anything less than a 10/10! So glad they brought back the queso! read more

Great place! I've driven by here dozens of times and never tried their wings until last night. They are fantastic! Huge, juicy, tender wings. I had their medium heat buffalo sauce and tried both boneless and regular. These are some of the best wings I've ever had. Huge schooners of ice cold beer to wash down the wings too. I'm a fan and will be back! They happened to be running a 39 cent wing special and 3.95 schooner of beer special this week. read more

Very disappointed with Wings Etc. Our family has been going here since they opened in Crystal Lake. I have been ordering wings on Monday nights and the last two times I've ordered they informed me they're charging me extra for the second ranch, and extra for celery and now they charge me extra $ even though I order it plain. They have the audacity to tell me it's for the seasoning and I keep explaining I'm not adding seasoning they said you still need to get charged for it! What!?! Unfortunately they've lost our business. The public is going to catch on, they can't nickel and dime their customers they will lose them all. read more

After waiting an hour to get our food on a slow night, the nachos came out with freezing cold cheese. We sent them back and round 2 was still cold. I asked for the manager, he felt the cheese and agreed it was cold. We ordered wings in place of the nachos since we sent those back. The wings were good but they charged us full price with no care about the hour wait to actually eat. Unacceptable for the manager and server not to care. I'll go elsewhere for wings. Not worth the wait. Cold nacho cheese is a good sign of food poisoning if they don't control their temperatures. read more

Wings Etc - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

I stopped in to get some hot buffalo wings, fries and beer. Hostess greeted me but I said I would sit at the bar. The bartender promptly greeted me and served me an ice cold fresh 32z beer. She did state that the kitchen was backed up which I let her know that was nice to explain to me. I wasn't in a hurry. Wings were good, decent size, fries were good, my only gripe was they give you 2 pieces of celery which I thought was a bit on the cheap side. A little more chunks of blue cheese in the sauce would have made it better. Overall a good experience and good service. read more

Took the afternoon off work to do some daddy daughter bonding with my three girls. Got in the car in search for a great spot for a lunch date for this occasion, so we didn't want it to be a place we frequent often. Drove up to Wings etc., checked the revs and decided to check it out. Weekday, summer lunch crowd is super light so service is super fast. Rachel was an amazing host, my 7 year olds first comment was "she's really nice". She was right, the staff is attentive, knowledgeable and professional. The sports theme is super fun, making it a perfect daytime stop for the family. Not sure I'd bring the kids on a Friday or Saturday night since it is a bar. The food was great! Hot, tasty and fresh. My only complain was that the wings were swimming in its sauce. Personally I prefer that they be tossed and plated vs dunked in sauce. I think that is an easy fix by requesting my preference up front so I'm not going to ding them on it. Take into account their specials and I think we found a new place to frequent often. Great find! read more

Will never be back to this restaurant, ordered 50 wings to go, got home to discover they only put 2 small side ranch..when I placed my order I let them know that I will need extra ranch. Called to complain they offered me $5 discount, money wasn't the issue when 50 wings on the order don't be stingy on sides. read more

01/ 10. Note to ... tonight my girl friend and I dined out at Wings Ect. crystal Lake, bartender/ Server was Rachel. She appeared very intoxicated, literally " tossing " food at customers( door dash). Had coasters thrown at us upon arrival. She told us she was living the life and couldn't wait to get off. Wouldn't return. As someone who works in the industry I found her to be very unprofessional. read more
