Marcus Holloway
The mastermind behind every sauce recipe and the visionary who turned a family passion into one of Georgia's most beloved wing restaurants. 20+ years in culinary arts.
East coast wings was born from one family's love of bold flavor and coastal living right here in St Simons Island, Georgia.
In 2012, founder Marcus Holloway turned a treasured family wing recipe into a neighborhood spot that quickly became the go-to gathering place for locals and visitors alike. His philosophy was simple: use the freshest ingredients, never compromise on flavor, and always treat every guest like family.
Over the years, we've expanded our signature sauce lineup from 4 classic flavors to over 20 house-crafted varieties — from the sweet heat of our Carolina Gold to the smoky depth of our Chesapeake Bay Rub. But one thing has never changed: every batch is made fresh, every day, with pride.
"Wings are more than food. They're a reason to gather, to celebrate, to connect. That's what we serve — connection."
— Marcus Holloway, Founder & Head ChefEvery decision we make — from sourcing ingredients to training our team — is guided by these core commitments.
We never cut corners on taste. Every sauce, rub, and seasoning is crafted in-house using real spices, never powder packets or shortcuts.
Our wings are sourced locally from Georgia farms and delivered fresh daily. We prep each morning so you get the best quality every visit.
St Simons Island is our home. We give back through local sponsorships, partnerships with island farmers, and hiring from our community first.
From your first visit to your hundredth, we want every experience to feel warm, welcoming, and worth coming back for.
