Wings Restaurants & Pubs is a local staple for good
times and even better food. Now, they're winging in that same
quality food to the outdoors, in their Wings Outdoor Grill food
truck.
Although the menu features a wide variety of all
American classics, the fresh never frozen wings are where it's at.
And they are by no means average. Wings Outdoor Grill offers up
over 20 impressive homemade sauces and rubs to smother their wings
in, from sweet Thai and Canadian maple bourbon to savory Tokyo
teriyaki and outback BBQ.
All created with locally sourced
ingredients whenever possible.


---------- REEL MAC AND
CHEESE:
REEL Mac and cheese offers gourmet, made fresh on
the truck macaroni and cheese with seven cheeses, and a variety of
movie themed menu items.
While macaroni and cheese itself
is slightly retro they have given it a modern twist with menu
offerings such as Slumdog Millionaire that includes curry paste
and peas and The Green Mile that is topped with freshly cooked
broccoli florets and crispy onions.
They serve up inspired
comfort food made from scratch right on the truck. They start with
real butter, add whole milk, select spices and seven different
cheeses, the result is creamy deliciousness.
All yummy, all
the time!
