Wingstop features nine proprietary wing flavors, including Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian Barbeque, Garlic Parmesan, and Hickory Smoked BBQ. The wings are always made fresh-to-order and served steaming-hot. Wingstop also offers a variety of delicious sides including fresh-cut fries, soft drinks, beers and wine.


Wingstop was founded in 1994. We began franchising in 1997 and our first franchised unit opened in 1998. Wingstop restaurants are designed featuring a nostalgic, aviation-themed atmosphere.

All of our stores are outfitted with 1930's - 1940's, pre-jet engine aviation décor and artifacts. The entire family will feel welcome in our comfortable and inviting surroundings.


Menus across the country offer up wings in the appetizer section.

In a flash of innovation Wingstop promoted buffalo-style chicken wings to a main entrée. Since we are "The Wing Experts" the focal point of our menu is our legendary buffalo-style chicken wings, always made fresh-to-order and served steaming-hot. Our chicken wings are sauced in your selection of nine proprietary flavors, including Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian, Garlic Parmesan, and Hickory Smoked BBQ. Our unique flavors enhance the broad market appeal of the Wingstop brand.

Although our wings are a meal by themselves we also offer a variety of delicious homemade sides including fresh-cut in house seasoned fries, bourbon double-baked beans, classic pearl potato salad, chilled carrot and celery sticks, creamy Ranch or chunky Bleu Cheese dressings, hot rolls, soft drinks, and a wide selection of beers and wine.
