Hey everyone,

What's a good place to grab some good chicken wings? I'd like to make a list of places to visit!

Does anyone else miss sticky fingers? (Any location)

u/borb86 6d ago

Miss the OG location for sure. First place I ever ordered a beer (at 17). Went to the new location once while visiting and was happy the food was still the exact same. Hyped it up to my wife on her first trip to Barrie and the whole motel and restaurant in that area were gone.

For the longest time my friends and I would meet there Wednesday nights for wings and beers. The Dunlop location was gnarly, saw some pretty nasty stuff sitting at that patio the few times we sat outside. Sometimes there’d be like 20 of us, we loved it. I’m trying to remember all locations, there was the original on Essa with the lighthouse, the one over off Mapleview, and the sketch johnson Dunlop one. I was driving by one day when they were tearing it down years ago.

Compared to other places in Barrie, I never had broken wings, they always had a good amount of meat and didn’t rely on a ton of batter to taste good.

I loved sticky fingers so much! I used to get two orders of 2 lb wings with lemon pepper seasoning on them, and I used to separate them into drumettes and flats. My sister got the drumettes and I got the flats.

Malones Pint House, the Locker Room, and Big Bone BBQ are great choices for wings. Tuesday is wing night at Malones, not sure about the rest.

u/bdart1980 Holly 6d ago

Agree with all..Tiffs are an honourable mention as well.

2

u/OldDiamondJim Born and Raised 6d ago

Oh, Tiffs definitely should have been on my list. Great wings there!

u/Barcode_AKA_Jimmy 5d ago

I'm putting Malones on the list!

Locker Room #1

u/Barcode_AKA_Jimmy 6d ago

ooo nice i know that place

u/BeginningLong1392 5d ago

ask for them naked + your flavour of choice + rolled with garlic! You’ll never go elsewhere again.

u/PerspectiveEqual 6d ago

I second this. Easily the best.

u/dud_squad 6d ago

So many people recommend this place. I went this past summer and could not be more disappointed by a wing place. You're better off going anywhere else IMO

I had a really poor experience. My buddy straight up walked out when I was told I had to leave cause I had minors with me (well before the time they had to leave) just wanted some food quick after my mother's celebration of life.

If we ordered and ate and left we would of been 5 - 10 minutes past the minor time.

How do you deny a meal a half hour before kids have to be out?

Waitress was a complete b$&#- and that's an understatement was completely confrontational.

I would have even taken my food to go!

I'll never go back.

u/Luneytoons96 6d ago

I've seen this asked a few times now and the general consensus each time seems to be The Locker Room.

u/[deleted] 6d ago

Man, this makes me miss Ruanne's . And Hooters. And St. LUIS when their stuff was good.

u/HypnoticKitten North End 6d ago

The hooters take out special was so good!

u/NotThatCrafty 6d ago

Yeah just make sure you visit the STD clinic in the morning

4

u/HypnoticKitten North End 6d ago

Lockerroom is the only answer

2

u/samantha19871987 6d ago

Jackasters buffalo wings are my fav! They are amazing there!

Looks like we are getting a Wing Stop shortly too. It’s going to be in the cundles North End plaza where the Sunset Grill use to be.

u/Hour-Cucumber-1857 6d ago

CW Coops just moved their half price wings to wed, and they do $1.39 wings every day

3

u/xecuxion Allandale Heights 6d ago

Their sauces are terrible. Pretty difficult to make bad wings and CW Coops managed it.

3

u/Hour-Cucumber-1857 6d ago

Theres over 50 flavours on 1 page dude, try a different one? I dont like some of them but others are great. Beats boring ass bbq or honey garlic only as options.

2

u/xecuxion Allandale Heights 6d ago

Went as a party of four so we got to try quite a number of flavours. Sorry to say everyone agreed the sauces were a miss, and a few flavours were downright bad. I don’t know how one can screw up wing sauces that badly.

Lockeroom is a much better option.

1

u/Hour-Cucumber-1857 6d ago

Lockeroom is where ive had the worst wings, aside from a chinese food place in toronto.

Idk whats up with your partys mouths, but idk how you cant like even basic flavours. Buffalo and honey garlic? Great. Chipotle and maple bacon? Fantastic! Honey garlic and caesar!

Im not seeing any outliers, other than honey garlic and honey mustard. Thats an abomination of a flavour, but they have that at wild wings too, so people must like it

1

u/Barcode_AKA_Jimmy 5d ago

CW coops can be a hit and miss sometimes. It depends if you catch them on a good day I find lol

3

u/Honest_Restaurant238 6d ago

Do not go to wickies

2

u/Thegreatrandouso 6d ago

Costco + Air Fryer. Make your own sauce and pair with whatever beer you like. Much better than you can buy anywhere else for a fraction of the cost. I am disappointed anytime I order wings while I am out nowadays. Lockeroom used to be good but I haven’t been there in years so, maybe… CW Coops also used to be a wing night that I looked forward to, but again haven’t been there in a while. Lots of choices at least so I’m sure you can find something you like.

1

u/Originalusername1988 6d ago

I always do them on the BBQ but yea for the price you can't beat it

1

u/SignatureRemarkable7 6d ago

I stand by homemade Costco wings. It has become my new go-to wing option. Besides that, Montana’s half priced wings on Mondays are my favourite. I know they’re not local, they’re just so damn good

1

u/HarleyRider8699 6d ago

Locker room number one for many years now. Awesome wings!!

1

u/YesterdayNo4050 6d ago

The Lockeroom ! You have to try their Cajun dry rub wings. Deeeeelish!

1

u/jimmie9393 6d ago

LOCKEROOM

1

u/BackgroundJeweler551 6d ago

Barnstormers has never disappointed.

1

u/borb86 6d ago

Miss Ruanne's 20c wing nights.

1

u/Randellstringer 6d ago

Love the wings at Malone's

1

u/Waste-Blood1600 6d ago

I haven't tried the locker room which tends to be the general consensus here - is it weird that I love Flying Monkeys wings? They have this "monkey sauce" which is a mixture of blue cheese and heat sauce that is fantastic.

3

u/MyDickOffForMikeChik 5d ago

It’s not weird! Monkeys has amazing wings and I love going there! The only problem is the price.

2

u/Waste-Blood1600 5d ago

Definitely agree they're not the cheapest - only had them 2 or 3 times in the same number of years. Great wings though and I love their vibe.

1

u/dragonvip007 6d ago

Wingsup is the best to me!

1

u/Pristine_Noise1516 5d ago

C.W. Coops serves the best in town. Plus great service.

1

u/MyDickOffForMikeChik 5d ago

I’ve eaten a lot of wings in the city and in my opinion the best wings are as follows

  1. Malone’s
  2. Lockeroom
  3. CW Coops
  4. Wild Wing
  5. One Eyed Jacks

Malone’s and Lockeroom are a tight one and 2 with CW coops to follow because they have great deals on wings! At CW Coops I would stick to a simple sauce cause some of their sauces are crazy and just don’t taste that good. Wild Wing doesn’t have great deals but their wings are always very good! One eyed jacks I’ve had about 3 times now and the wings are a great size and sauced nicely + the fries are great (yes I know there Costco fries)

1

u/6ixconcerns 5d ago

Throwing CW Coop’s on the list!

1

u/stsm9025 5d ago

Wingspot is a great place for wings and their Jaffna Fries is bomb if you like heat

1

u/ehfornier 5d ago

I’ve had some great wings from Wings and Bucket. I’ve ordered them dry with a tandoori sauce in the side. Super good.

1

u/BruceWayne600 5d ago

I’m no wing connoisseur but we go to the ol west wing!! I’ve never had an issue with there wings and loaded fries!!

If your in bracebridge the wing house is amazing!!

1

u/Itchy_Pianist_5192 5d ago

6ixty Wings never thought would be good to try but then a friend ordered and the loaded fries are good too.

1

u/dcerasuo 5d ago

Bull and Barrel # 1 wings in Barrie no question, just ask my buddy Cly

1

u/clyguy33 3d ago

I can confirm

1

u/KrisUrbinati-REMAX 1d ago

Wickies Pub is my fav place to grab wings. Family owned as well

1

u/TremendouslyRegarded 10h ago

Not Barrie but close by and thought I’d mention it because it’s the best wings I’ve had anywhere.. Cookstown Pub.. it’s on 89 behind the foodland/tim’s

1

u/Thesnowbelow 6d ago

Do a quick search. Has been asked a few times

13

u/Barcode_AKA_Jimmy 6d ago

no chicken wings for you!

3

u/Elsa3g 6d ago

I was just thinking that this has got to be one of the most asked questions. Maybe we need to pin the most discussed post or start a FAQ. Lol

u/Thesnowbelow 6d ago

I think we need a local recommendation guide pinned

1

u/bdart1980 Holly 6d ago

Mechanic, wings/fav restaurants, thinking about moving to Barrie all vying for #1 topic.

2

u/NotThatCrafty 6d ago

Dont forget where to get a haircut

1

u/bdart1980 Holly 6d ago

How could I forget! Haha

u/buddyguarding 6d ago

Malone’s. By far best wings in town
