Wings Etc. Grill & Pub is leaning into comfort food this season with the debut of two new Mac ’N’ Cheese Dishes.
Perfect for pairing with one of the chain's refreshing berry beverages, the new Mac ’N’ Cheese Dishes come in two tasty varieties: BBQ Chicken Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese and Buffalo Mac ‘N’ Cheese. The former consists of Wings Etc.’s signature crispy or grilled boneless chicken diced up and served over a pile of rich and creamy macaroni and cheese mixed with bacon bits and finished with BBQ sauce and shredded cheddar jack cheese. On the other hand, the new Buffalo Mac ‘N’ Cheese offering features diced crispy or grilled boneless chicken tossed with Wings Etc.’s Mild Buffalo sauce all served over a plate of fresh and creamy macaroni and cheese.
