“Saturday October 4, 2025 I had the pleasure of having Lucy as our waitress. We were a party of 6, ordered dinner and drinks. I am not a beer drinker(sorry) so Lucy took the time to explain your Island District drinks to me. I left with a four pack after an amazing night of music, family, and good friends. Lucy and the team that were short staffed and super busy. She didn’t miss a beat. Amazing testament to your establishment . Looking for to our next visit!“

From Kevin to Carlos to Dylan and all the beautiful staff here, it’s an experience to remember. We think they put crack cocaine in the chicken fingers they are so good! I am craving the clam chowda as I write this. Oh, and did I mention my favorite singer of all time? @lewisgoodwinmusic plays here night and day?The ocean view and breeze are not to shabby either.

Then we were greeted by Noah, who was very pleasant. He took our order, smiled, and so friendly. THANK YOU!!

We ordered a beer, Coconut shrimp, lobster Rangoon's, and pretzel bites. Everything was PERFECT!! We cleaned the plates for sure.

Overall environment and experience was outstanding and would highly recommend it to friends!!“

“We recently had a banquet for little warriors football, and asked local businesses for food donations. I reached out to the owner of wing-itz to ask if he would be able to donate chicken tenders, and he was happy to donate a very large amount. I did not realize that he had just hosted a team dinner for the high school team the week before. What Derek is always willing to contribute to the youth of our community is incredible.“
