Chocolate wings? You’ll want to try this West Charlotte takeout restaurant to see.
Flavor-seekers and culinary adventurers who love wings will want to consider a meal from Mix Grill & Wings, which bookends a handful of takeout restaurants in West Charlotte’s City West Commons shopping center.
The restaurant offers 45 flavors of wings, with hot, sweet and fruity choices that you’re not going to find on many menus around town.
A few selections that might jump out at you include:
- 911 (Mix Grill & Wing’s hottest sauce)
- Blackberry and Blackberry Hot
Chocolate
Kickin Bourbon
- Strawberry and Strawberry Hot
- Mango Hot, Peach Hot and Pineapple Hot
- Watermelon.
There’s a lot to talk about there, and you’ve got to make some tough choices if you’re going to dive in. (Pro tip: If you need help, the chef might be willing to share a sample wing. He’ll likely steer you toward strawberry — a spicy and sticky-glazed top seller.)
A health care worker who stopped in to pick up dinner on her way home on a recent night pored over the list of flavors hung on the wall for quite some time, struggling with which flavor to choose. After a good bit of chatter back-and-forth on heat levels and sugar content in the takeout space’s snug waiting space, she landed on a mild version Mix Grill & Wing’s honey hot wings, paired with a salad.
