If you love trains, and love chicken the Wild Wing Restaurant near Brechin is the place for you! This was the first meal out on our first day in Canada this year – and we’d planned it for months – they do wings that good!
This small restaurant is located at a railroad crossing on Highway 12, east of lake Simcoe and being sat on a railroad crossing – it is themed in all things railroad! The actual restaurant has two railway cars behind it – converted into rooms to eat!

You’ll likely first see the restaurant by its unmistakable road sign

Now.. in the UK, unfortunately we don’t have restaurants that specialise in Wings.. so here’s some information so you know what to expect when you go!
Firstly – you eat wings with your fingers – this is normal! So, fun for your kids, and its great to let your hair down, not have to mess with knives and forks – besides, hands were invented before cutlery right?! If you can’t part with your knives and forks – don’t worry – they come readily available for you in the table centerpiece! .. Now, this centerpiece is wood, it also as you will see on one of the photos below has a large metal bucket over it .. and a large roll of what appears to be kitchen towel paper — this is exactly as you think it to be! The restaurant is kitted up for you to eat with your fingers.. and eating wings you’re going to have a lot of bones right? So put the tin bucket in the centre of the table and put the bones in the bucket. When (or if!) you want to use your eating utensils – use the paper towels and wet wipes to clean up your hands! That’s about it for the etiquette – so back onto the important stuff! – the Menu!

Wild Wing Restaurants have an amazing menu.. In the UK, if you’re ordering wings, usually its a starter, and let’s face it – there are usually four or five, and an ant’s leg would have more meat on it.. Well this is not the case in Canada – inferior food is cut out completely.. Anything you see on the menu – will be of great quality and great quantity! So there’s no worry about you going away still peckish!
The menu here gives you the option of over 100 different flavours of wings – - all ranging from the regular – into hot wings — and going into fiery super hot wings! .. Now when i say hot wings, i don’t mean generic 50 of the same flavour with microscopic differences in the amount of chili powder in it – they truly are different flavours. One of my favourites is the Canadian flavour – which has maple syrup on them.. but there’s also dill pickle (gherkin) and jalapeno flavour – a good example of one of the unique flavours which you really must try!

While you’re here – don’t just buy your X lbs of wings, get some Gar par fries! – It’s fries (skins on) with special sauce and various other bits and pieces with it – seriously – don’t leave without getting some!
