Tree’s Wings Has Kept Locals Satisfied With Its Famous Recipes For 25 Years

For nearly 25 years, Tree’s Wings & Ribs has been catering to the taste buds of traditional down-home food lovers. With its signature neighborhood feel, it’s no wonder this family-owned restaurant has been going strong since opening in 1995 at the south end of Royal Palm Beach Blvd.

Owners Andy and Linda Maynard strive to appeal to every guest who walks through their doors. In charge of day-to-day operations is General Manager Erin Townsend.

“We like to be just as down-home as we can be,” Townsend said. “We’ve got killer ribs. Our sauce is homemade with our secret recipe, every day. We only do baby back ribs. We find them to be the absolute best, and we don’t mess around with anything but that. We have perfected the recipe to where they’re fall-off-the-bone. I’ve never seen anyone disappointed with our ribs.”

While wings and ribs have made Tree’s locally famous, there’s much more to this popular restaurant.

“We’ve got ridiculously good burgers for being a wing joint,” Townsend noted.

The Treemongous burger, for example, boasts a full pound of beef with all fresh ingredients for $16.49. All burgers are Angus beef and handmade, cooked to order over an open flame. All produce is brought in daily.

There are also traditional dishes, like salmon, filet mignon, several salad choices, along with the “fall-off-the-bone” ribs to go with those award-winning wings, which are served up with another secret recipe.

“We have several secret recipes, and we guard them very closely,” Townsend said. “Our house dressing is probably what we’re most popular for. Instead of ranch or bleu cheese with your wings, we offer our house dressing. I get bribed weekly with people asking me what’s in it.”

That super-secret recipe will soon be flying with the Tree’s team to Buffalo, N.Y., for the 17th annual Buffalo Wing Festival, where they’ve been invited to compete in the National Buffalo Wing Contest. Tree’s is taking a lucky winner and a guest on an all-expenses-paid trip to the three-day event over Labor Day weekend.

It’s just one way the restaurant shows appreciation for its customers. Sign up, for free, to be a VIP member. Each time you dine, you get to spin the prize wheel for a deal to be used the next visit. Anywhere from $5 off to a free dessert or drink, to Wing’s bucks. Also, enjoy a free rib and wing dinner on your birthday — and a first round free with a choice of beer, wine or any soft drink for you and your guests.

Great prices on drinks are up for grabs every day.

“We’ve got a twice daily happy hour. Half off between 3 and 6 p.m. on any drink. And again from 10 p.m. until midnight. It’s any drink, whatever you want,” Townsend said. “The only thing we don’t do it on is pitchers, because we’ve got $6 pitchers all day, every day.”

They restaurant recently redid its flooring, with a deep dark wood, making for a warm feeling.

There are two bars. One is separated from the main dining area, where it’s family friendly. For those 21 and over, who are looking to hang out, there’s the adult-only lounge, oozing with a rock vibe as framed pictures of legends adorn the walls. With a feel all its own, this neighborhood hangout area is complete with a jukebox and a retro Kiss pinball machine. There’s also live music on Thursdays featuring artist Rick Nelson playing classic rock and Jimmy Buffett tunes starting at 7 p.m.

“We’re family friendly with space for adults to also have their time,” Townsend said.

If it’s time you want to spend with your family dog, bring him to dine with you. They can even order off their own canine menu. From a bowl of kibble, to add-ons, like bacon.

Each day of the week, there’s a different homemade soup, from split pea to Florida conch chowder. Also, a daily special is offered, like Mondays is half off any Angus burger, to Sundays all-day $4 bloody marys.

Whether you want to pop in, pick up or get it delivered, Tree’s Wings offers all the options — including a vast delivery area with their own five-vehicle fleet. Online ordering is coming soon.

Serving the community over the past 24 years, the owners plan to continue with what’s now tradition.

“We’ve got the best regulars in the world, and we try to treat everyone like our next regular,” Townsend said.
