How It All Began

A Family Recipe That Started It All

Wing Snob was born in 2011 in Warren, Michigan when founder Marcus Webb decided the world deserved better wings. What started as a weekend ritual — perfecting his grandmother's hot sauce recipe in his backyard — quickly turned into something far bigger than he imagined.

After friends and neighbors couldn't stop talking about the wings, Marcus took the leap and opened our first location on Van Dyke Ave. The philosophy was simple: use only fresh, never-frozen chicken, mix sauces from scratch daily, and treat every customer like family.

"I never wanted to just open a restaurant. I wanted to build a place where people come for wings and leave with a memory."

— Marcus Webb, Founder & CEO

Over a decade later, that spirit hasn't changed. Every wing that leaves our kitchen carries the same obsessive attention to flavor, texture, and quality that Marcus demanded on day one. We haven't cut corners — and we never will.

What We Stand For

Our Mission & Core Values

Every decision we make — from sourcing ingredients to training our staff — is guided by a clear set of values that define who we are.

Uncompromising Quality

We source only premium, fresh chicken and craft our sauces in-house every single day. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

Community First

Wing Snob is more than a restaurant — it's a Warren institution. We give back to local schools, sports teams, and neighborhood events.

Responsible Sourcing

We partner with local Michigan farms and suppliers to minimize our footprint and support the regional economy.

Team & Culture

Our staff are treated like family. We invest in training, fair wages, and a workplace where everyone is proud to show up.

Our Journey

From Backyard to Warren's Best

2011

The First Wing Was Fried

Marcus Webb opens Wing Snob at 30800 Van Dyke Ave with just six sauce flavors, three tables, and a whole lot of heart. Word of mouth lines stretch around the block within the first week.

2013

The Sauce Lab Is Born

We dedicated an entire station to sauce innovation — experimenting with dry rubs, fermented hot sauces, and regional flavors. Our signature "Midnight Heat" sauce becomes a local legend.

2016

Warren's Favorite Restaurant

Wing Snob wins the Warren Macomb County "Best Wings" award for the first time — kicking off a five-year consecutive streak. We expand seating and add a catering program.

Online Ordering Launches

We launch our online ordering platform, making it easier for the whole Metro Detroit area to get Wing Snob delivered hot and fresh to their door. Orders triple in the first year.

We add 15 new menu items including boneless wings, loaded fries, and our fan-favorite wing flights. The kitchen is renovated and kitchen capacity doubles to meet demand.

Why We Do It

The Values That Drive Us

These aren't words on a wall. They're the principles our team lives by every single day — in the kitchen, at the counter, and in the community.

Passion in Every Bite

We don't just cook wings — we craft experiences. Every order leaves our kitchen with the same passion that started this whole journey in 2011.

Honest Ingredients

Fresh chicken, real butter, hand-picked peppers. We read every label and know every supplier. If we wouldn't eat it, we won't serve it.

Respect for Everyone

Customers, staff, suppliers — every person who interacts with Wing Snob deserves dignity, fairness, and a smile. That's non-negotiable.

Always Getting Better

We never stop innovating. New sauces, better processes, fresher ideas. Complacency is the enemy of greatness — and we refuse to be comfortable.
