From a backyard recipe to Warren's most-loved wing spot — every bite tells our story of bold flavors and genuine love for great food.
Wing Snob began in 2012 when founder Marcus Reid spent every weekend experimenting with wing sauces in his Warren, Michigan backyard. Friends and neighbors couldn't get enough — they kept coming back for that perfect balance of heat, tang, and crunch that Marcus had perfected over years of passionate cooking.
In 2013, Marcus opened the first Wing Snob location on Van Dyke Ave. What started as a 10-table eatery quickly became a neighborhood institution. By 2018, Wing Snob had expanded its sauce lineup to over 20 flavors — from the fiery Ghost Pepper Fury to the crowd-pleasing Honey Butter Garlic. Today, we serve thousands of wing lovers every week, never compromising on quality or that signature crunch.
