Just Wings & A Few Other Things offers up 17 sauces

Sara Boyd’s restaurant Just Wings & A Few Other Things is known for its 17 sauces from which to choose at its 1600 N.Federal Highway location.

Boyd often suggests placing orders that include combing a selection of flavors, such as hot honey, some raspberry and lemon pepper.

Boyd celebrates her second anniversary this month at her Boynton Beach location after opening her original wing shack in 2000 in the Fort Lauderdale area.

The idea came from a visit Boyd had with her daughter, Angel, in Atlanta, where she was going to college.

“I saw all these wing places up there and just thought that we don’t have anything like that in South Florida,” Boyd said.

Margee Walsh, Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency spokeswoman, said breakfast items are now available on the take-out menu.

Walsh said in addition, a variety of spicy, flavorful “other things,” or menu items, such as fried shrimp, pork souse, a popular Caribbean stew, chicken gizzards and oversized, homemade red velvet cupcakes are also on the menu.

All the wings can be washed down with a chilled, sweet tea.

Boyd said residents come in mainly for her wings, and keep coming back while they decide which of the 17 flavors are their favorite, such as the sweet & sour or Thai.

“Our flavors are addicting,” Boyd said. “We have honey garlic, spicy garlic, Caribbean, the house special and lemon pepper.”

The prices for wings range from $5.50 for the “snack” of five wings and fries to $7.50 for 10 wings. For 16 wings, the cost is $9.75.

In addition, lunch specials and party platters are available. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

For information, call 561-740-9613.

The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, established in 1982 serves to encourage diverse redevelopment activities, stimulate economic growth, create a destination core and enhance the visual appearance of the community.

The Boynton CRA also serves to promote businesses within the community as part of their goals.

Walsh said the CRA has begun a downtown small business-marketing plan to help promote the 500 businesses located in the CRA’s district.

“The economy is just so bad, everyone needs to step up to the plate and help,” she said. “This wing restaurant is just another example of a hidden gem in Boynton that people may not know because it is not a chain.”
