After serving San Diego for four decades, Epic Wings is ready to make its second dive into Los Angeles County by opening up a shop at Atlantic Avenue and 45th Street in the Long Beach neighborhood of Bixby Knolls, shortly after opening a location in Northridge.
The move comes as a warm welcome after Cali Shrimp & Wingz—Long Beach’s stellar and locally owned wing joint that occupied a space at the northwest corner of Orange Avenue and 10th Street—closed up shop mid-pandemic, leaving us with, well, Wing Stop and Buffalo Wild Wings.
While somewhat corporate-y, Epic Wings is beyond the nationwide stretch that Wing Stop and Buffalo Wild Wings hold, still managing to maintain a stronghold on the San Diego food scene in terms of what locals recommend for wings despite having over 15 locations across the San Diego area (with a newly minted Arizona location in Glendale.
Epic Wings is expected to open in Bixby Knolls in the coming months.
