The Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber and award sponsor First Commerce Credit Union named Andy’s Wings and Things, located at 2525 North Ashley Street, the April Small Business of the Month. This long-standing Chamber program was created to award local, hard-working small businesses.

Andy's Wings and Things, located at 2525 North Ashley Street, is a beloved family-owned establishment founded by Andy McRae. With a lifelong passion for cooking, Andy learned the art from his mother during his upbringing and further honed his skills while serving in the military. After 27 years of dedicated service, Andy ventured into the restaurant industry and established Andy's Wings and Things.

In addition to being named Small Business of the Month, Andy's Wings and Things has earned acclaim for its delectable wings, securing the title of Best Wings in South Georgia through a public vote. Caytlaun McRae, Andy's son, attributes their success to the family atmosphere that permeates the establishment. "Our customers know that Andy's stands on positive morals and creates a family-like environment for everyone who walks through our doors," he affirms.

Notably, Andy's Wings and Things maintains a strong commitment to giving back to the community. Every Friday, Caytlaun joins a group to engage with over 100 elementary students and rewards the most deserving classroom with a complimentary lunch. He also volunteers at the boys and girls club, hosting pizza parties for students who exhibit exceptional behavior. Moreover, Caytlaun has dedicated his time to supporting Valdosta High School, where he grills meals for students, coaches, staff, and referees before games. "I am proud to sponsor numerous organizations, fraternities, pageants, and events at Valdosta State University as well. At Andy's, we prioritize caring for our staff and being their coach to achieve our shared goals," shares Caytlaun.

Andy's Wings and Things remains steadfast in its commitment to customers, staff, and, above all, the community. Caytlaun emphasizes, "At Andy's, we consider ourselves a family, and we treat anyone who enters our business with the same warmth. My father taught me to treat others as I would want to be treated, and I pass on this ethos to our staff. Positive energy is essential at Andy's Wings, so when you visit us today, expect to be greeted with a smile, friendly faces, and exceptional food made with love."
