Wild Wing Cafe was founded in 1990 in Hilton Head, South Carolina, by Cecil & Diane Crowley. After hosting numerous Super Bowl parties at their house, the couple decided to open a restaurant which featured their beloved chicken wing recipes.
The company began with a single location and 8 different sauces. On their first day of business, the company actually ran out of food due to unexpected crowds.
Unlike many restaurants at the time, Cecil and Diane insisted on using fresh ingredients, rather than relying on frozen or prepackaged sauces. Most of the sauces were the Crowley’s own recipes, so the ingredients are kept under wraps.
In addition to wings with 33 different sauces, the company offers a variety of other foods, including soups, salads, wraps, burgers, and a host of sandwiches, as well as wide range of draft beers. Almost all locations offer free live music 7 days a week. 
As of 2017, the company has 47 locations in 10 states, as well as plans to double the number of locations by 2020, according to CEO Tom Lewison.
In January of 2012, a majority interest in the chain was secured by Charlotte, North Carolina-based Axum Capital Partnership, an investment company. The Crowley’s retain part ownership in the company.
Headquarters for the chain are located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
I was in town from Tampa visiting my parents. We were at Wild Wing Cafe Saturday night 03/20/2021. My mother is in a wheel chair and needed the rest room. In the hall way a drunk man fell over her and bashed his head into the wall while his lower body fell on my mothers legs. He was helped up by some females. I brought this to the female manager who said that she had been told. She told me, they took his keys and called Uber to pick him up and take him home. When were were getting ready to leave this drunk man was on the dance floor making a fool of himself and returned to the bar where he had a cocktail in front of him. I was totally shocked that the female night manager would allow this drunk man to continue drinking and the liability that this could cause their company. I am going to contact Columbus Georgia Liquor License Department. This needs to be addressed.
Hey there!
I’m a former employee of Wild Wing in Columbus Ga. I recently moved to the Hilton Head area and need my W-2 but the managers aren’t very cooperative or helpful. They said the best they could do was see if it came back in the mail and they would give me a call. It’s been a while now since they said it was sent out and I haven’t gotten a call yet( it’s been two weeks). My good friends still live in my old apartment and I’ve told them to keep an eye out for it but they’ve also said it hasn’t been delivered there yet. I really need to do my taxes so if anyone can help me get it resent that would be amazing! Thank you!
This is Vicki Barrick. I am the owner of Burgess Outdoor Solutions. We service the Anderson S.C. Wild Wing Cafe with all the landscaping needs. I have been trying for months to get paid for services since November last year. I have spoken to the GM, Josh Watkins numerous times. I have emailed the CFO, Tim Walker. I have left a dozen voice mails for every option when calling the Corporate number. The only person who returned my call was the HR Director. She sent an email to the CFO. It is May 12th and I have not heard anything We are a small business owner and would like for you to make payment to bring the account in good standing. Can someone please contact me as soon as possible so we don’t have to take this to the next level.
Hey this is Ned Lamb from the Gastonia store. I need to speak to our HR officer Tracy. Can she please give me a call at 704-678-1319. Thanks in advance.
I would never complain but our experience yesterday at the location in Downtown Greenville was the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant or anywhere. Horrible experience there yesterday, waited almost 2 hours for our food after it was ordered and then they only brought half of it out. My granddaughters corn dogs and my grandsons hamburger, almost 2 hours for a corn dog???? I normally would never post anything like this but we asked for a manager 3 times and he would never come speak to us. the cook came out and slammed the food at us, at that point we refused it. We had the best server ever though, she was doing all she could do. Before we left she was in tears.,, Wish I had gotten her name… They were not that busy either, several empty tables.. The manager should be ashamed
The Wild Wing Cafe of Gastonia location was the far most worst experience I have ever experienced!!!! When we first arrived we were not aware that someone had to seat us in order to be served or to receive a menu. We asked at least 3 employees for assistance and we were told someone would be with us. 10 min. later were told we couldn’t be helped by the younger guy who told us he would but that wasn’t his section. So I asked for a manager. The manager approach our table and come to find out the on duty manager was under the influence and I Do Not mean alcohol at all… He was high on either pills or cocaine. He basically said if we wanna eat go to the bar and order. I asked why when I don’t drink. He was rude and didn’t seem to care nor put customers first. After speaking with him a couple other customers were telling us that several of them were under the influence. And we instantly started to notice so I spoke with a Police officer whom I had noticed was on duty there and expressed my concerns and the fact that several employees and management on duty was under the influence. He basically said it wasn’t anything he could do. But to Call the GM by the name of Will but I feel that this concern is bigger than the GM. There is alot more that I want to say if I could be contacted ASAP
