Wing Snob

March 9, 2020

Are you a snob when it comes to chicken wings?

Wing Snob is an American chain that has opened its first Canadian location in Edmonton! It specializes in chicken wings (duh!) and is located in the Brewery District. The main focus of the menu is on traditional wings, boneless wings, and chicken tenders. For non-meat eaters, they offer Cauli-Wings (cauliflower wings). You can choose from a variety of sauces or dry rubs for your wings/tenders. They also offer meal deals which come with a side of fries, small coleslaw, and a drink.

Boneless Meal Deal $15

I ordered the meal deal with the boneless wings. For my wings, I decided to go for the chicken & waffles sauce because it sounded very intriguing. It’s described as a maple syrup sauce but I found it pretty similar to actual chicken & waffles. The only thing that would’ve made it better is if it was eaten with waffles! The boneless wings were a decent size. They kind of reminded me of chicken tenders but that’s what happens when you order wings without bones. The wings weren’t overly saucy and they tasted fresh.

For my fries, I decided to upgrade to premium fries for an extra $2. I had the garlic parmesan fries which tasted really good with garlic parmesan sauce. If you don’t want to upgrade, you can choose from seasoned or cajun fries.

 Boneless Meal Deal $15

My friend also had a boneless meal deal but he ordered mango habanero wings and upgraded to lemon-pepper fries.  The mango habanero sauce is shown as the second spiciest sauce on the menu. He said it didn’t taste that spicy though. I didn’t try it because I can’t really handle spice but I tried his fries and found them to have a very zesty flavour.

Cornbread

I’m not sure if this is a permanent thing or new opening thing but they gave us free cornbread! I think it was my first time ever trying cornbread. It was sweet and moist.

Snobby Cake

We also got to try a dessert on the house, Snobby Cake. It’s deep-fried cornbread with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It reminded me of something you’d find at a carnival! Other desserts that they have are different cheesecakes.

Overall, I enjoyed the food at Wing Snob. The service had some kinks, probably because it’s new, but it didn’t take away from our experience. I will probably come back to try the traditional wings which can be ordered by the lb or in a meal deal.
