This was our first time to The Wing Shack and we ordered 4 orders of wings. The wings were big, crispy, juicy, and the flavours were delicious! I would highly recommend trying this place. 1 pound of wings for $11.99 is pretty good value too. A++
Friendly service, great food, fair price! Huge portions of wings that are crispy, fresh & saucy! Very unique flavours!
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 and was absolutely blown away. We’ve never had such well fried wings and fries. The balance of crisp and sauce on this wings are hard to come by. The Banff is a butter chicken sauce with pineapple topping is my personal favourite and the Montreal Canadian is like a maple sweet wing with a spicy kick. You can genuinely taste how the sauce in made in house and perfected. Each order is made to go so they are fresh and hot. The owner and staff were extremely welcoming. While you eat you get a fantastic view of cascade mountain. And the best surprise is it’s price. You are getting such a great value making it worth the drive out of the main part of town. 10/10 can’t wait to come back, wish I found this at the beginning of my trip.
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 chicken burger 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 but just 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 we were told to be honey garlic, maple syrup and sriracha, for a sweet and [very mildly] spicy taste). I've never liked chicken wings as I always thought they are rip off, but these ones are HUGE, FRIED and SO TASTY.
We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who visits Banff and likes fried chicken. So far the best we've ever had, and the prices are very fair. The cashier was also very nice and friendly which made the whole experience perfect. Definitely will come back if we ever visit Banff again.
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.
Nothing but amazing things to say! The wings were hot and crispy, the portion size and pricing is also incredible for a pound of wings! They also have an abundance of flavours to choose from! Had a slight mix up where we received the wrong flavour of wings- the staff we interacted with including the owner were extremely understanding and helpful in fixing the mix up! Highly recommend!!

Great wings that are all equal parts tasty, crispy, crunchy, juicy - and all for great prices, considering most Banff restaurants are more pricey.
For sure recommend taking a chance on the local wings/fan favorites, as they have some unique and savory flavors.
I had the Montreal Canadien wings which were sweet and spicy. The taste brings a mix of sweet maple syrup contrasted with a low-to-mild spice. The chicken burger is decently large, with a juicy crunch for every bite (and nice Swiss cheese). All the fries are good too !
Parking is quite easy, as you can park either right in front of the store or just on the street beside/across from it, then just walk over. It's a quiet area to enjoy good without all the of the crowding of main parts of the Banff tourist area.
The owner is very kind and attentive to making sure customer's needs are met. If you're coming through Banff, try this out to change up from some of pricey restaurants and still get some good eats !
When it comes to take away/take out/carry out there is no better place in Banff than wing shack and I stand by that claim!
Deliciously moist chicken wings and legs, with flavour packed toppings, sometimes sweet, sometimes cripsy, sometimes spicy - you literally can’t go wrong.
Our go to deal (which is unbeatable tbh) is the 3 pounds of wings, 2 sides and 4 drinks for something like $36. Between two of us, we get 6 meals out of this which is pretty awesome value!
Highly recommend the flavours Calgary Flames (sweet with a some serious heat), spicy Cajun (crispy battered chicken with a spicy coating), honey Thai, the Cajun fries and wedges.
We’ve also tried the chicken burger and fries and I’m still recovering from my food coma from that experience, it’s bloody huge.
They deliver to Banff so it’s a go to Friday night takeaway treat for us and there is a Canmore option too I believe.
Highly recommend!
