Hurricane Grill and Wings - Franchise
THE ORIGINAL That Started It All.
OK. We didn’t exactly invent the chicken wing, but 18 years ago Hurricane Grill & Wings® changed the in-line dining experience (and the taste of chicken wings) forever. The success of Hurricane Grill & Wings® whose trademark is “Live with Flavor®” is known for its uniquely savory chicken wings offered with a choice of more than 35 signature sauces and flavors, enjoyed in a fun island atmosphere.
Named by Franchise Times to the "Top 40 Fast and Serious Brands in 2014," Hurricane Grill & Wings’ menu items are cooked fresh to order with high quality ingredients and zero trans fats. Other menu options range from the world-famous garlic and parmesan fries and salads to fresh (never frozen) certified angus steak burgers and grilled mahi-mahi along with a full bar and line-up of craft beers and wine.
Our Story
Hurricane Grill & Wings first blew open its doors in April 1995 at our original location overlooking the ocean in Ft. Pierce, Florida. It didn’t take long for our guests from near and far to crave our more than 35 flowing with flavor varieties of award winning wings that have become the signature of the Hurricane Grill & Wings menu.
Hurricane Grill & Wings has 80 restaurants open or under construction across 15 states and continues to expand rapidly with both corporate and franchised locations.
Our cool, island-inspired atmosphere is supported by tested, professional systems, and features a menu focused on quality ingredients and innovative flavors.
