“ Absolutely LOVED the wings here. We had the Jerk, Texas BBQ and it was recommended to have them grilled - yum and we did a hot honey. We weren't planning to eat them all but they were soooo good. The staff is amazing and friendly. We will definitely be back. ”

“ Don't sleep on this spot! I can't say enough to describe how awesome this place is. We were out of towers in Oshawa for a week for work and came across the crooked uncle. We ended up going 3 times out of the 5 days we were there. We met the amazing mother-daughter duo of Kelly and Kayleigh and they made us feel just so welcome and they were full of positive energy. The patrons were also kind and friendly. You really get the local homey vibe there. Not to mention the food is also amazing. Still thinking about those chicken wings! It's also a great place to watch games, as they have TVs throughout the restaurant. We will definitely be coming back every time we are in town. ”

“ Kind of a small place with awful parking, service was super friendly but very slow, however well worth it!!!! The food was incredible, I've reviewed 100 wing places, this is in my top 5 ”
“ Amazing food and great service. We heard about this place from a Durhameats blog and had to come try it. We've had wings all over durham and this is officially our new fav place! We had wings and chicken fingers that were delicious. The calamari was okay but kind of bland. For dessert we had the deep fried mars bar, we were soo full but im sure i could have eaten 10 of those. Our server Jessica was great! She was super friendly from the moment we came in. Will be bringing the rest of our family to this spot! ”
“ We had lunch at the Crooked Uncle today. I had the Angry Uncle burger with a side bowl of chicken soup. My husband had the Black and Blue burger with fries. Our server Jaye was amazing. She was friendly and attentive, and provided excellent service. Our food was all delicious. We shared each other's burgers, and both were so yummy. I highly recommend those burgers. A big thank you to Jaye!!! We will definitely be back. ”
