Overview
If chicken wings make you hiss "preciousssssss", then Lord of the Wings is your kind of chicken joint. Having been open in Carindale for 18 months now, the pun-loving wing palace has accrued quite the diehard following. And if you're a westsider who's been trekking over Brisbane's hills and valleys in search of your favourite item, then you'll be happy to know you'll soon be able to get your fix closer to home.
Doubling production of their prized possessions, Lord of the Wings has set up shop at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. It's huge news, but their new space is even bigger — it's a giant 220 square metres, or enough for 200 people both inside and out in the beer garden.
Lovers of the Carindale eatery can expect all of the regular dishes. That means so many wings that you'll feel like you're about to take flight. The main attraction comes in traditional and grilled varieties, in servings of six and 12, and with 20 different sauces on offer, ranging from the mild honey pomegranate to the super-spicy Buffalo suicide. Take up the challenge to eat eight fiery wings without gloves or napkins in under two minutes to win your entire dinner for free.
For those after something other than the titular pieces, build-your-own burgers, sandwiches and signature ribs, plus salads, snacks and sides are also on the menu. Drinks-wise, the new store comes with a host of additions, such as alcoholic slushies, adult milkshakes and corona-ritas (aka an upside down Corona in a margarita — yes, really).
Lord of the Wings' Indooroopilly location opened quietly this week, but it'll make the kind of noise a rooster would be proud of over the coming weeks and months. Firstly, each table will boast ordering via iPad in the near future, a system designed to get wings in your belly even quicker. And, come July 29, they'll be celebrating International Wings Day with freebies for everyone.
Find Lord of the Wings Indooroopilly in the Station Road Dining Precinct at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, Indooroopilly. Head to their website for further details.
