That\u2019s a big move for the Dixieland food scene! After much anticipation, the Buffalo-born wing spot is officially launching its first Florida location this Thursday, May 14<\/strong>, in the space formerly occupied by Good Thyme.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is the breakdown of what to expect for the opening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Opening Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Location:<\/strong> 1037 Dixieland Mall Ln, Lakeland, FL 33803 (tucked behind the Dixieland mall area).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Launch Highlights:<\/strong> Owner Pat Spinosa has mentioned plans for a grand opening party featuring live music and giveaways<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Operating Hours:<\/strong> Initial hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. \u2013 10 p.m.<\/strong> (Expect it to expand to seven days a week once football season kicks off).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    On the Menu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While they are famous for their oversized, saucy Buffalo-style wings, the Lakeland menu is adding some local flair and northern staples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The Classics:<\/strong> Bone-in and boneless wings with their signature “Sweet & Tangy” sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Buffalo Favorites:<\/strong> Beef on Weck<\/strong> (roast beef on a kummelweck roll) and Pizza Logs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Florida Additions:<\/strong> The menu will feature Gator Tail<\/strong> and other “Florida-friendly” appetizers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Vibe:<\/strong> The team has renovated the alley location to include a large deck<\/strong> with outdoor seating for about 60 people, a bar serving beer and wine, and four TVs for game days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      It looks like a solid addition to the neighborhood, especially if you’re looking for a new spot to catch a game without heading toward Tampa or Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
