How you do like your wings: hot, mild, smothered in garlic Parmesan sauce, or some other mouthwatering flavor? Most people have a favorite, even if they occasionally go astray to try out a flavor of the month, or some wacky flavor someone they’re eating with has ordered. So what’s your preference?

A while ago we published an article listing 12 places to get the best wings in South Carolina, and your comments were overwhelmingly in favor of the #3 restaurant on our list. So consider this the official “OnlyInYourState.com bump” up to the number one spot for that restaurant, a proverbial Hot Wing Destination: Fat Jack’s in Surfside Beach.

This family restaurant is a favorite among locals, visitors and first-timers — and it’s easy to see why.

And if you’re a real hot wing freak, you can order the Kamakaze sauce, which is super thick and super hot because it’s flavored with habanero peppers. (I’ll take those, please… )

One thing people seem to agree on the most about the atmosphere at Fat Jack’s is that the restaurant is a total ‘come as your are,’ no-frills kind of place.

Google Maps/Joseph Parisi Like most hole-in-the-wall joints, it has a lot of character including the mascot outside the entrance and Fat Jack’s famously adorned ceiling tiles. You never know what you’ll find on the tiles above your table; you could see an advertisement, or a smattering of alcoholic coasters glued in an appealing arrangement up there.

Most people; however, tend to focus most of their attention on the table… and specifically on their wings.

Google Maps/Jenna R The menu at Fat Jack’s is arranged to encourage you to diversify. There is a whole array of wing platters that each include two appetizers. We recommend the jalapeno poppers and the curly-Q fries.

Don’t think that just because you’re headed to a hole-in-the-wall for some grub that they skimp on their beer selection. Not this place, you’ll be happy with the domestic and foreign choices, so drink up, and enjoy!
