    Let me start by saying the food was terrible. The wings were dry and overcooked! The service sucks the waitress are rude. The cook who ever she is smokes and comes back inside to cook without washing her hands! Waitresses were running back and forth to their car and back inside couldn't find one if needed! The best thing to do is don't waste your time! The food sucks the waitresses are too busy going in and out of their cars! The cook is too busy going out to smoke cigs and come straight back in to cook no washing of hands!

    Went to Wingnuts last night and when we entered it was apparent that our business wasn’t appreciated. Entire restaurant was festooned with Trump flags, like plaques that demeaned Dems and liberals. I’m used to being a political minority in this area but the Confederate Flag was the deal break. We paid for our drinks and left. It’s one thing for a business to be politically aligned, it’s the environment we live in today, it’s another thing to actively try and make people who see things differently uncomfortable. Won’t return but I suppose that was the intention. Anything to “own the libs”, even if it costs you business.

    the waitress working was so so kind and helpful and order was done fast but the food was super disappointing. pretzels are super pretzels from the box doused in butter. pickles were undercooked im guessing, they looked light in review pics so i didn’t think anything of it but i wish i did. fries were good at least! definitely won’t be back though. obvious that the super over the top decor is to appeal to a certain demographic but if you were to appeal to all customers you could maybe turn enough profit to stop serving frozen appetizers or maybe even enough to stop having to blame biden for your chicken prices yknow

    Wife and I decided to go have some wings after our dentist appointment..... We did not expect to see Trump attire plastered on the walls, I immediately knew this had to be a great place for food! Boy was I right, the wings were great and the service was fantastic. Nice little hole in the wall for great food!

    From start to finish one of the best experiences I have had out at a wing spot. Kelly was our server and she was great. We tried 4 different sauces :Apesh!t,Mellon Ball,Sweet Chilli, and the Jamaican Jerk dry rub. All were extremely satisfying. The decor was bright and interesting to look at. The tables are great for two people but I could see a problem if a party of 4 were to order multiple sauces. The old pacman game was a sight to see. That brought back some great memories. The prices were fare 34.00 for 20 wings with 3 refills of an awesome sweet tea and a bottled water. As the sauses are made from scratch daily by the owner, the choices are endless. I highly recommend WingNuts for your wing cravings. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe of crispy wings in the best of sauces I have ever had.

    January 2019 Wingnuts Pub & Grub, Del Prado Blvd. Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. This time I was lazy and ordered home delivery thru yelp/grubhub. I got a chili dog w/cole slaw & wings and fries. Ordering was easy though the full menu was not on yelp. Using paypal was good too. Delivering was quick and easy 30 minutes instead of the estimate 40-50 minute time spam. Plus having the option of using cash for the tip of driver. Kudos. Now the rave/rant on the food. The cole slaw was crunchy, tasty, not overly wet. My dog was a good size ,cooked fine with onion as requested. BUT ...The chili was HORRIBLE... I have had better can chili from *almart. It was not hot, no cumin, plain tomatoe sauce like it was from ketchup. I am not a wing eater. But I tried the house specialty. WINGS with ranch dressing. I order 6 wings and a side. NO RANCH DRESSING. I thought a dressing was included with my order. I got warmed fries of sorts. But fried food tends to get soggy when it travels. My bad. I thought I was getting 6 full size wings...I got 2/3 each from 3 chicken wings. All of the wing tips were missing...One portion of a body part does not make a full wing. I will say they were tasty & on the meaty side. The menu here is too big. They need to concentrate on their core foods Wingnuts Pub & Grub, Del Prado Blvd, S Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on my food and chatter. I am not a wing person...Especially since they do not give the full wing any more. Wingnuts give you the present day style of wings plus a WHOLE LOT more. Fried bologna sandwich, house made tater tots & deep fried twinkle to Name a few. If they don't have it it has never been made yet. I got the Philly cheese steak and Cole slaw. $11 bucks. I must say it tasted good. The side, Cole slaw was only standard fare. But the size of the buns were smaller than I wished for. Though I will applaud them. They did stuffed and fill them as much as possible. Plus considering the 100 items & combination of food it is really staggering. The menu is reall TOO big.... If you cannot find something to eat. You are too picky. Service was great.

    The Staff was friendly and the food was fresh. It was also clean as well. We waited maybe 10 Mins to get our food but it was fresh. Now I had to scale back on the rating because when I seen alot of the political propaganda on the walls in the restaurant I had to sit back ask...... why would does that have to be necessary to let everyone know your political views???? That's just a bad business move if I'm going to be honest.

    First time at Wingnuts. Inside is nice. Ordered 20 wings to go and had a beer while I waited. Plenty of sauce choices when it comes to the wings. Went with the traditional medium hot buffalo sauce and the the garlic parmesan. Good, but not the best I've ever had. The wings just did not wow me for the price I paid. For now I give them an average 3 stars. I will give them another try and sample something else off of the menu, eat it there and post another review. In no way am I saying my experience was bad because it wasn't. It think I need to give them another try and go from there.

    This place has been the best wings in town for years. They don't serve those little baby wings either. You get pretty decently sized ones with a really great range of sauces and rubs for the spicy, and non spicy-lovers. Dine in is always amazing, with great service and friendly staff with a hole-in-the-wall feel. If you go carry out it's always fast and fresh.

    It was my first time here. I heard great things and expected as such. They were delivered as expected. Service was fantastic. Top notch. Wings were the best this wing connoisseur has ever had across the 21 states I've traversed. However, I will not be returning due to the fact that the unnecessary politics being infused where they don't belong. I am not a purveyor of hate and exclusion or divisiveness. I do agree with the 2nd amendment however i do not agree with extremism and politics DO NOT belong in a restaurant to alienate potential customers like myself. I do hope you decide to redecorate with more tasteful items like a chilis or applebees would or even your own design but politics need to stay OUT. And if you don't...i do recommend you changing the name to RIGHTWINGNUTZ

    Went there specifically because they claimed to have uniquely spicy sauce options. Tried the second hottest “challenge” sauce, and I was not disappointed. The Black Widow wings. Strong peppery flavor I believe was ghost, and a heat that would put most people in the emergency room. Could only take down 6 of the 10, and I’m very well seasoned with heat.

    Good food...when they're open. The owner seems to treat this place like a hobby as every time I randomly stop by because I feel like wings, it's closed. I've seen girl scout cookie tables that are more consistent than this "business"

    A bit quirky, but the wings are excellent. Odd ball atmosphere, and not the largest dining area, but they certainly knock wings out of the park. An overwhelming number of sauces available. I really like the “complete” dry rub. Wings always crispy (dine in) haven’t tried much else here, but menu sports some classic pub apps. Worth a shot with 2-4 people. More than that, take out would be better.

  • 3/5 JM S. 2 years ago on Google
    Let me start by saying I have ordered here often.. The wings are good, the burgers very good, the loaded fries/tots are very very good, but the sauces are incredible. Never have I had such well done sauces from tangy and full of zip to melt your face off with somehow still complex rich flavor. The ONLY reason for 3 stars is the price. You had better figure $30-40 per person for a wing place. Not that I honestly would complain about that in and of itself, food costs have gone up I get that. But for that price getting charged $5 for a 1.5 Oz cup of additional wing sauce added to your order is insane. There isn't a wing sauce known to man or woman that costs more than $7-8 for a 12 Oz bottle until this place. It's a shame that they are pricing what truly makes them special at a point it's not worth it, because on flavor they could rule the wing world.

  • 1/5 William P. 2 years ago on Google
    25 dollars for 16 boneless wings, and a side of curly fies. You can't split sauces must order 2 smaller sizes. They'll offer you ranch and celery as if the accoutrements are included, but sadly it is a dollar charge each for a 3 Oz ramekin of ranch and 4 celery. No napkins nor utensils offered or packaged for Togo. Food quality was subpar from a culinary standpoint. No salt or seasoning on fries and equally bland boneless breading as if it was coated in pure flour I couldn't bring myself to finish despite them bolstering a crowded array of sauces. Atmosphere is overbearing to the point that it purposefully and directly discourages patrons of different political ideologies from returning to their establishment. Bottom would not recommend over deceptive upcharges, and food quality standards.

  • 5/5 Isaiah N. 6 months ago on Google
    So I'm a wing head and used to go to Headpins/Nemos for my wings. Since they are under new management the wings are garbage. WINGNUTZ is fire! I don't care about service or atmosphere when the wings are this good nothing else matters! 5 stars I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Shawn K. 7 months ago on Google
    Decided to try on a whim since they are so close to home. While I do feel the prices were a little high, I do feel we got our money's worth. The traditonal wings are massive and the sauces are phenomenal! I was a little taken aback by the bottled beverages being the only option, but all in all we will be returning.

  • 5/5 Cory M. 2 years ago on Google
    New to town and I've found my new wing spot! Fantastic wings, fantastic customer service, supporters to military/leo/first responders. The sauces are up there with some of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back and try some more flavors!

  • 5/5 Ryan L. 7 months ago on Google
    I've been going here for almost 10 years now. All original, in house made flavors and some of the best food around. Same staff has been there for years. Knows me by name and makes you feel like family. Great place to take family, love taking my boys and playing Foosball. Look forward to going there for another 10 years plus!

  • 1/5 Ben E. 8 months ago on Google
    They charge for sauces. Everywhere else includes the first sauce for free. I have a problem with this, as the cost of the meal is more than enough to compensate for a single sauce and still profit greatly. Total meal was $64 for two including tip. I've had better for much less. The wings are good but the pricing doesn't add up. Staff is good.

  • 3/5 Adam W. 8 months ago on Google
    I wanted to like this place more, but 3 stars is fair. Pros: sauce choices, great sauces, good chicken, good service. Cons: The "nuts" were just ok. Definitely saw some food from a bucket on the floor to the fryer! I'm not saying it's a huge offense, but I don't wanna see it! Also, they charge for ranch and water no fountain drinks, bottles only. This is a little cruel at a wing place! All that said I wouldn't mind giving them another shot as the chicken was tasty and the sauces are great!

  • 5/5 Garth S. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all their ranch is insanely good, could of drank a bottle of it.Their Hot Buffalo is also excellent. Their Cajun however didnt' really resemble Cajun, still decent just not what I expected. The stunning brunette woman with tattoos who helped me was also very friendly. I will be back

  • 5/5 Eddie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the staff they're all so nice, got the best spicy sauce I've had down here. Great environment and great food.

  • 4/5 Lue Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great wing sizes and flavors. Their spiciest flavors will melt the average eater. One issue I had is that they charge for every add on. I purchased 15 wings and was charged individually per 5 wings due to flavors. It ended up being 34 bucks for 15 wings which is steep. Their special was 20 wings 2 flavors and a pitcher of beer for 30 so I would have just done two of them.

  • 5/5 Lance P. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is delicious. The food is hot and fresh. Nothing is sitting under a warming light. Love fried pickles and they have a spicy ranch that is a great addition to that. One of the kids got a burger and he loved it. We have been here a couple times. They have a couple of sauces that require you to sign a waiver for those a bit more daring. I am working my way up to that. They also have an option for tater tots which is always a plus.

  • 1/5 Michael C. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visitor, can't say I was impressed with this place. Too many rules and stipulations. I couldn't get a glass of water. Not sure where or how they get water to cook. Biggest take away is you cannot get more than one sauce on any amount of wings. I ordered the garlic parmesan, basically they were naked wings with parmesan sprinkled on top. Very dissatisfied with that. Most places I have been too have some kind of garlic parm sauce. Dry wings with parm sprinkled. I ate one, took them home and made my own sauce to not waste them. Weill not be going back to this place.

  • 5/5 D T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Had a fried chicken sandwich, tenders were yummy. Great selection of sauces. Will definitely be going back to try other flavors.

  • 5/5 Edward W. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love great wings along with outstanding service definitely come to Wingnuts. Everything including the atmosphere was beyond outstanding. Anytime I come to Cape Coral I will definitely come here even if it's out of my way. Thanks for the great service.

  • 5/5 Joshua D. 1 year ago on Google
    We got a bunch of chicken sandwiches, pretzel bites, nobody finished anything because there was sooo much. Very good, will definitely order again.

  • 5/5 Ben J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good, Dirty Wings! Wingnuts does not care for your Instagram, your Twitter, or your posts. Wingnuts only deals in caring for one thing: Food. I got the island sauce on my Tenders Basket and I was taken aback from the sheer amount of flavor and textural quality in my food. Some of the best and most well cooked Chicken I've had in the Cape and some of the best, most well-balanced potato wedges I've ever had period. Usually I post images of what I order but this was so good I didn't even have a chance to get a pic! If you love wings this is a must-stop!

  • 5/5 Caleb M. 1 year ago on Google
    The wings were as good as I’ve ever had, and there were a ton of sauces to choose from. Staff was super friendly as well! 10/10, would definitely recommend
