This Sunday is the biggest football game of the year, and that means one thing ... it's time for wings in Union County!
The National Chicken Council estimated that more than 1.3 billion wings were eaten during the 2019 Super Bowl weekend — and that number just keeps going up year after year.
Union Coutny is no exception in their love for wings — and our local restaurants sure know how to make wings delicious enough we can't help but devour them down to the bone!
It seems everyone has their favorite Weddington, Waxhaw or Indian Trail restaurants (and don't forget Monroe) from which they order wings. Here are some of our favorite locally-owned restaurants to order wings:
Fox's Alley Bowling Bar & Grill: 1901 Skyway Drive, Monroe | (704) 776-9518
Wings we love: I know! You may be thinking: a bowling alley with the best wings in town? But ask anyone in Union County and they'll tell you that no matter what you order from Fox's Alley, it will be PERFECT. Treat yourself to take-away for the big game and thank us later!
Bisonte Pizza Co.: 1831 Chestnut Lane, Matthews | (704) 821-8003
Wings we love: Honey Dipped Hot and Carolina Gold take top billing in our house. These wings are consistently good and we've never been disappointed!
Emmet's Social Table: 401 E. South Main Street, Waxhaw | (704) 233-7813
Wings we love: OOOH, the Korean Glazed Wings are beyond amazing. And, if you live within range, Emmet's delivers!
Mia Famiglia: 7870 Idlewild Road, Indian Trail | (704) 882-8882
Wings we love: Hot, Carolina Gold and Garlic are among our favorites! We also love the pizza from here - so its truly a win/win for the whole family!
Steady-Eddy's Pumphouse: 2216 E. John Street, Matthews | (704) 234-8062
Wings we love: Every time we drive by this place, the parking lot is PACKED! So, when I asked around, the consensus was that these are some must-have wings and the best flavor are the "Captain Ron" wings. They are flavorful without excessive heat!
Honorable Nearby Mentions:
Mac's Speedshop: 142 E. John Street | (704) 444-0332
Wings we love: Something about smoked wings gets us every time. No matter the flavor, you are in for a real treat!
DD Pecker's Wing Shack: 10403 Park Road, Pineville | (704) 541-4113
Wings we love: While it may look like a hole in the wall, this place is a favorite for sure. Nary one bad review and while I haven't tried them, I think we may have to this weekend!
