Wild Wings Café takes flight again

Coming back to Farragut after four-year hiatus

“Something wild is back,” Wild Wings Café owner David McFarland said about re-opening Wild Wings Café at 11335 Campbell Lakes Drive in Farragut after a four-year hiatus.

McFarland is planning a grand opening Friday, Jan. 16, starting at 4 p.m. until midnight.

“We’re so excited, he said about the opening. “It’s a long time coming. When I went in this direction [to re-open], I didn’t think it would take this long.

“So many people are

excited about it coming back,” he added.

Its patrons can expect “Farragut’s home for hot wings, cold beer and good times to be back better than ever,” he said, teasing to a planned Voice Off competition in February.

There also is its patio and great local and regional live entertainment.

“We’ve got a great lineup already starting, including Ann Betty, Smooth Sailor, Max Stillwell, Tall Paul and other various entertainers,” McFarland said. “And the best place to catch a game.”

And then, of course, there are the wings.

“I can’t give you the secret, but I would say that we make our marinades from scratch,” he said. “Not a lot of people know that. Almost everything that comes out of the kitchen is made from scratch.
