Wild is coming back to Farragut

“We’re bringing something wild back to Farragut,” owner John McFarland stated in a social media report about re-opening Wild Wings Café at its former location in Farragut.

After being closed for four years, the restaurant is scheduled to re-open in December at 11335 Campbell Lakes Road. It follows the closing of its Johnson City location, which had been operating since 2016.

Wild Wings Café closed in Farragut in 2021 and made room for Daddy Mac’s Down Home Dive, a new dining concept that opened in June 2021 then closed Nov. 2, 2023.

“From the beginning, we designed Daddy Mac’s Down Home Dive to be a home for family, friends and neighbors,” McFarland earlier stated in 2023 about closing Mac Daddy’s. “Our mission has always been to seek ways to best serve our community, leading us to make this decision to evaluate new opportunities for this space.

“Our staff has been given the opportunity to seek employment within our management company while we prepare for the next chapter of this building on Campbell Lakes Drive,” he stated. “From our staff, to our vendors and guests who have been both old friends and new, we are so grateful to the many people who have helped bring this concept to life.”
