Island Wing Company

Found this restaurant while on vacation in Destin for New Years. Wish we had one in Atlanta.
I love that they do no fry anything here. We tried 4 different flavors of wings and 2 salads. All were delicious.
We really enjoyed our food and the laid back environment.

If you want great wings look no further. Great selection of sauces, large sized wings always cooked perfectly. I like wings to be spicy and flavorful when I order them «hot» and these guys hit the mark. Nice and spicy and their huge selection of draft beer was the perfect way to cool me down. Their chicken quesadilla was a large size with a good amount of filling so no complaints there.
Our server Tristan was amazing. Don’t lose this guy. Smart funny and normal! I’ll go back just for the great service he provided… and the wings.

Reasonably priced with a variety of flavors for the wings. Great service but not the best quality of food. Place is clean with a ton of TVs to watch sports on. Good place to hang out and have a few wings and watch sports.

I’d like to start by saying the staff I spoke to on the phone when placing my order was very friendly, as well as the staff when the food was picked up.
I ordered a Big Boss Burger with a (meatless) Boca Burger, no cheese or bacon, and sauce on the side. When my burger came, the only topping it had was the pineapple. Not really a big deal. However, when I bit into the burger, I bit into beef. Having been a vegan for 15 months, I’m not too pleased. Plus, we ordered to go so I couldn’t even send it back.

This place is a hidden gem in Destin. The wings/​sauces are awesome, the service is friendly, and they have a great beer selection! Oh and they have tons of TVs to watch the game. It’s a much better version of Buffalo Wild Wings. Highly recommend!

No planning, we just stopped in because everyone was hungry and it was near us. So glad we found this place! Some unique menu items, great and friendly service, and everything was tasty. Mainstream beer on tap plus craft. We had both at our table.
Two had the chili mac and raved about how good it was. I had the Jah’mon Jerk Chicken Tacos and they were superb. The blending of the jerk sauce, cabbage, red and green peppers and pineapple made it very flavorful. We had buffalo chicken dip for an appetizer. It was fabulous.
Wonderful place to eat! You won’t be disappointed!

I definitely do not suggest this place, the wings were microscopically small although they had good flavor. And the Mac and cheese tasted like it was burned to death!

Food was pretty good. Wings were good and the fires were baked but tasted somewhat burnt. I’d probably come here again.

Great service, a huge selection of craft beers, and wings too. You can order flats if your not a big fan of drummets. .the bourbon sauce is to die for. Just loved it. Will be a frequent flyer at this great find…

Compared to the other food in Destin, this was one of the best places I ate at. Had some wings and fries, and was happy with them.

Delicious food– some classic foods with a twist, great service & live music, & fantastic beverage choices!

The service was great and the food was awesome. Love the ambiance, and they have live music every night!

Mediocre Food, Horrible Service.
I decided to go to Island Wing Company after my first day in Destin, and chose to eat there after hearing great things about both the food and the atmosphere. I had high expectations that were not met in the slightest. It was during a March Madness Final Four game, and the restaurant was full of people. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed, for when entering the building there was not even a hostess waiting at the entrance. My family and I were waiting for a good ten minutes before we were even helped, and a few more minutes later we were seated. Things were looking good until we began to order. Our waiter was friendly and kind. He took our drink order and our food order at the same time because my family was all ready, and then headed off. It took forever to get our drinks, and our waiter never returned to check on us and provide us with refills until our food arrived. My dad ordered a beer, and never received it the entire evening. I ordered a burger, which was mediocre, and my family ordered mac-​and-​cheese, which they said was amazing. After that, our waiter disappeared for a while. We finished our food during this time, and were ready to go. It took asking two different workers at the restaurant to finally track down our waiter to give us our check. After leaving, my entire family was in agreement that it was one of the worst service we had ever experienced.
Overall, I give Island Wing Company two stars for ok food, good vibes, and horrible service.

A Must stop and eat when in Destin. I had the wings with the Buffalo kiwi sauce and OMG… they were to die for good. We are huge foodies so trust me when I say it is a memorable experience. Hubby had mahi tacos and to quote «these are the best fish tacos I’ve ever had!» and he’s had ALOT!
Beer choices may seem a bit overwhelming if it wasn’t for the waiters being very attentive and helpful but not overbearing in making customized suggestions for your taste. We skipped desert for the dark chocolate stout beer which was well worth it.

Super choix de bière en fût !! Nourriture et service excellent, par contre j’y étais hors saison… Alors clientèle local de plus de 50ans et pas d’ambiance

We come here a lot, love the TV set up and the wings are good too. Wish they had mac n cheese as a side, apparently lots people ask for it but they can’t make it happen. Also, you’ll get much better service if the female bartenders are working. The B team male bartenders (one who happens to be the bar manager) have a hard time seeing empty glasses and up selling you drinks, especially when they stand in the corner talking to other employees all night. We will continue to come back, just always hope they step up their game!

Got the 4^th star for draft selection. Food was ok. Got boneless wings half and half chipotle cheddar and sweet Thai chile. Thai chile was good, but I wouldn’t get the other again.

Got wings to go. Ordered by telephone.
First of all the food was good — four types of wings tried: Traditional hot, thai curry boneless, garlic parm traditional and jerk boneless. All very good.
Couple of suggestions to make the «to go» part better. None of the boxes of wings were labeled. We were able to figure out by a process of elimination which was which (number of wings ordered) however, I am not a «hot» fan — if I had bit into one of the hot ones by mistake — I would have been really upset. Ditto the dips — none of them labeled and they all look identical. Honestly I think we got 4 blue cheese vs what we requested.
Last thing — we ordered carrots and celery and got one small box for four orders of wings! I hope that was a mistake.
All that said — the food was good — the service timely and I would go back. Loved that wings were baked vs fried.

Great atmosphere! Great food! Great service! A nice change from the usual «eat out» places! Will definitely be back.

This is the first restaurant my family and I ate at while spending a week in Destin. We weren’t looking for anything in-​particular or anything fancy. This place is family friendly and we had a great time!
I recommend the Mac n’ Cheese burger it was everything I could’ve imagined and the entire family was asking for a bite. I was very satisfied with my meal.
My parents both got boneless wings and they raved about those as well.
My sister on the other hand was not pleased with her meal. She got the Mac Daddy which is macaroni and cheese loaded with bacon. She is a fan of bacon but claimed there was way too much of it.
The service was fast and friendly and the food came out in no time.
If you’re not looking for anything fancy just somewhere to have a nice dinner with your family in Destin, this is the place for you!

I’m really glad this place opened; Destin needs it. I love the layout of the bar and restaurant. There’s outdoor seating, booths and lots of tables, all of which have unobstructed views of the myriad of big screens they have on the walls and around the bar. It’s a very open place, which is great for sports bars since you want to be able to see multiple games at once (usually).
There is a TON of beer flowing in this joint. As I’m writing this review, Island Wing Company in Destin hasn’t been open very long, so I’m sure they’ll tweak their draft and bottled beer selections over time depending on the demand, but I was impressed at the current selection, as there was something for everyone.
The menu is a quintessential sports bar menu. Sandwiches, burgers, quesadillas and wings (yeah, yeah, there’s rabbit food, too). I love the wing sauce options, especially Mango Habanero (COME ON) and thought the dipping sauces complimented the menu.
It’s still a young place, but the staff is happy to be working, the food is good to eat, the beer is cold and The Game is on.
