Reviews for Alberta Wing Shack in Banff, AB
One of the best fried wings I’ve had. On first impressions, I thought this wouldn’t be great considering the location and... the exterior of the shop. I even said I wouldn’t want to eat here as I’ve had many bad experiences with such venues. I wasso wrong. Upon entering the shop, I was impressed by the menu presentation. Simple, clean and modern, almost like a fast foodchain. The place is ran by a Sri Lankan who has been in Canada for many years. A pound of wings goes for $12 CAD. We went with 2lbs, a sweet and spicy sauce as well as garlic parm. I enjoyed the latter more. Definitely give this place a shot if you’repassing by the area, you won’t regret it. Read more
One of the best fried chicken places I’ve been to (and I’m from Toronto). The prices are reasonable and the portions are... generous. We ordered the honey garlic wings (1lb) for dine-in and the chicken fingers (4 pieces) to go. I highly recommendcoming here while in Banff. We visited this place twice during our trip and wished we discovered it sooner! Read more
This food is really underrated, everyone should definitely be hitting this place up!! The service was excellent and the food... quality was amazing. On top of all that, the prices were very reasonable. I'll for sure come back! Read more
Wonderful service and food. The owner was so friendly and gave us some good tips for our further stay in Banff. The burger is... the best in town, no doubt. Read more
Friendly service, great food, fair price! Huge portions of wings that are crispy, fresh & saucy! Very unique flavours!
Sooo happy I found this hidden gem by chance on our last day in Banff. The restaurant is located in an industrial area of Banff... (may look sketchy for some people and off the tourists' attractions) but the food there is amazing. We had the doritos chickenburger and 1 pound of wings. The doritos chicken burger was very good. The meat was so big, it was overflowing from the bread(have you ever eaten a burger with the patty/meat being bigger than the bread? I never did!). The doritos taste was light butjust tasty enough to give a special kick to the burger. The chicken was perfectly fried and crunchy. For the chicken wings,they have 69 different flavours (you get to choose 1 flavour/pound of wings). We went for the Montreal Canadiens sauce (which wewere told to be honey garlic, maple syrup and sriracha, for a sweet and [very mildly] spicy taste). I've never liked chickenwings as I always thought they are rip off, but these ones are HUGE, FRIED and SO TASTY. We highly recommend this restaurantfor anyone who visits Banff and likes fried chicken. So far the best we've ever had, and the prices are very fair. The cashierwas also very nice and friendly which made the whole experience perfect. Definitely will come back if we ever visit Banff again. Read more
True local hidden gem! We found this amazing wing shack and would recommend this to everyone and anyone. They have a great... selection 69 flavours from the classics to some more unique options. We got the Banff, Montreal-Canadian and honey garlic andwas absolutely blown away. We’ve never had such well fried wings and fries. The balance of crisp and sauce on this wings arehard to come by. The Banff is a butter chicken sauce with pineapple topping is my personal favourite and the Montreal Canadianis like a maple sweet wing with a spicy kick. You can genuinely taste how the sauce in made in house and perfected. Each orderis made to go so they are fresh and hot. The owner and staff were extremely welcoming. While you eat you get a fantastic view ofcascade mountain. And the best surprise is it’s price. You are getting such a great value making it worth the drive out of themain part of town. 10/10 can’t wait to come back, wish I found this at the beginning of my trip. Read more
As we ventured into the darkness we thought we took a turn into the unknown in search of the elusive Wing Shack; but was... delighted that the destination proved to be worth the journey! Friendly owner and the # of flavours… endless! We ordered combo#2 which provided us sustenance of 2 pounds of wings, large fries and 2 drinks. We ordered Honey Garlic and fan favouriteVancouver Canucks -Garlic Parmesan ???? these wings were on roids I swear as they were large and in charge! Juicy and packedwith flavour???? hands down one of the best honey garlic sauces I’ve ever had! Not only was this meal fulfilling, our leftoverwings made for a delicious snack two days later. I highly recommend seeking out Alberta Wing Shack ???????????????? Read more
