    • Sweetwater Wings Full Order

      Jeff used to snicker when his grandmother said that the wing was the best part of the chicken. This house specialty, marinated 24 hours, dredged in spices and fried, confirms her thesis though. We get our wings packed in ice, delivered fresh every morning from the Eastern Market and sell 15 forty-pound cases daily. Quite frankly, chicken wings are what we do! The flavor is so unique and delicious that once you try Sweetwater Wings, you'll be hooked for life - enjoy. Our award winning wings (best in Detroit" - Detroit Free Press) are served with celery sticks and bleu cheese.
