Who We Are
The Wing Snob Story
Wing Snob was born from a simple but powerful obsession: crafting the perfect chicken wing — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that keeps you coming back for more.
It all started in 2018 when founder Marcus Delacroix began experimenting with wing recipes in his Riverview home kitchen. After years of refining his craft and gathering loyal fans among friends and neighbors, Marcus took the leap and opened Wing Snob at 10444 Stelling Dr — and the community's response was overwhelming.
"I didn't just want to make wings. I wanted to make the wings — the ones people can't stop thinking about days later."
— Marcus Delacroix, Founder
Today, Wing Snob has grown into a full-service restaurant offering over 30 house-made sauce flavors, from classic Buffalo to our signature Honey Bourbon Blaze. We source fresh, never-frozen chicken and make every batch of sauce from scratch — because our customers deserve nothing less.
Whether you're dining in, ordering for pickup, or scheduling a catering event, the Wing Snob promise remains the same: bold flavors, genuine care, and wings that earn their reputation.
