Frog legs, anyone? Peebles is more than just fried chicken wings

The name is Peebles Wing Shack, but the menu has so much more than wings.

The jumbo fried chicken wings made the sports bar’s reputation, but check out the Cajun-influenced items such as the po’boy sandwiches, the pulled-pork sandwich or St. Louis-style ribs. There’s even a selection of seafood platters – choose catfish, flounder, shrimp, crawfish or mussels – and frog legs.

Actually, the frog legs – tossed in corn flour and served with your choice of house-made tartar sauce or cocktail sauce – and the crawfish are two of the best-selling items on the menu. Probably because of the uniqueness factor.

Serving sizes are large at Peebles. The catfish, flounder and shrimp are served in half-pound servings; frog legs, crawfish and mussels weigh in with 1 pound servings.

If you’re willing to share, try the Potluck Lowcountry Boil that contains  1/4 pound of shrimp,  1/2 pound of crawfish, 1 pound of mussels and the usual red potatoes, corn and andouille sausage ($20.99).

For those wings, the most popular sauces are the hot ranch, Southwest chipotle and the homemade hot. The Southwest chipotle is a creamy medium-hot sauce, not unlike a spicy remoulade, and the homemade hot sauce has a slightly smoky cayenne slow burn.

Peebles Wing Shack at 1332 Rosewood Dr. is owned by Patricia Peebles. Another location can be found at 129 E Dekalb St in Camden.

(Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly listed Will Peebles as the owner of Peebles Wing Shack. He is the head chef.)
