Today was the day I decided to give Detroit Wing Company a go. Why did I wait so long? Seriously, this is what food SHOULD taste like! I enjoyed the Asian Orange wings with Fries. I will definitely be back again and again! It was truly a pleasure to experience the flavors and tantalize my tastebuds with this terrific meal! Thank you!!

Picked up wings on a Friday night, first night of operation, 11/05/21. Didn’t know this establishment was even open on the night that I ordered and was thoroughly satisfied with the variety of wing sauces. Firecracker had a steady building heat with flavor and the Carolina Gold was a creamy sauce that delivered solid flavor. The side of cornbread was also slightly sweet but moist and full of texture and the coleslaw had a sweet tangy edge to it. Oreo cheesecake for desert that looks homemade and taste like it’s from mom’s kitchen.

This place is an excellent choice if you want great food for a fair price! Every time I walk into the establishment I have never had to wait longer than one minute to be greeted by an employee. All of the employees are patient and respectful, especially Sam. My food has always been ready before the expected time and I have never had any complaints with my order. My personal favorite meal is a 6 piece boneless honey bbq with fries but you can never go wrong with their Mac and cheese! I will always highly recommend DWC to anyone!!

Owner is a great guy. Clearly goes above and beyond. Doesn’t skimp on sauces or amenities. Super helpful and patient and friendly. My 11yr old even commented about how friendly he was. Food was excellent. Loved everything, the chicken sandwich was our fav. Great wings! Will be back.

Everyone has been talking about Detroit Wing Co and now I see why. The Hot Garlic and Whiskey BBQ were to die for. Chicken was very well season and had the perfect flavor. The french frys were crispy and seasoned very nicely. The employee allowed me to try several sauces which was very helpful considering it was my first time. I tried many wing places in Traverse City and this one tops them all. All around great!

Went with Detroit Wing Company for my daughter’s graduation party and I couldn’t have been happier. The process from start to finish was perfect. Everyone at the party loved the food. We got boneless wings, cole slaw, Mac and cheese and cornbread bites and they were a hit among the more than 100 guests we had at the party. Highly recommend DWC for your next event you need catered. Thank you to Ben and his crew for all they did for us!

It was my first time ever coming to this establishment and all I could say are positive things. The taste of the wings were amazing, and the customer service from Haley and Aurelia was top notch, the manager was so kind and thankful, definitely made my experience worth the drive into town. I will for-sure come back!
