In 2019, the Chandler-based wing restaurant ATL Wings opened its very first Tucson location at 802 N. Fourth Ave. Just recently, the restaurant announced the permanent closure of its spot at the corner of University Boulevard.
We weren’t able to reach anyone for a comment about the closure, but a note was left on the door.
“Sorry for the inconvenience. We’re closed. Thank you for your support over the years.”
ATL Wings has one other location in Tucson — 5585 E. Broadway Blvd. — which is operated by different owners of the franchise.
The restaurant features fresh, never-frozen chicken wings with over 20 sauce options: six dry rubs, seven red hot sauces, seven barbecue sauces, teriyaki sauce, and a sweet and tangy sauce.
ATL Wings is located at 5585 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, visit atlwings.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
