Founded in December of 2001 in Covington, La. Paul Ballard had a dream for a restaurant that would appeal to a broad segment casual dining market. He put together a team he knew he could count on-his brothers, Scott and Steven. They all grew up working in the family business, where the customer was always No. 1. From this legacy of hard work, vision, practical experience and a commitment to customer service, the Ballard brothers developed the WOW Cafe and Wingery! Together, they developed the idea into a plan of action, through extensive research of industry and market trends. They drew on their background as franchise owners of two different food service companies. They created a varied menu, targeting the preferences of families and young professionals. They sought the advice of experts. Award-winning chef George Rhode, IV created special sauces in order to capture the fancy and flavors of savvy restaurant-goers in Greater New Orleans.

The WOW Cafe and Wingery Restaurants provides a unique alternative to the typical casual dining experience. Our restaurants appeal to a broad base of dining tastes by providing a menu offering of mouth watering choices made with the freshest ingredients and served in the friendliest atmosphere all at an affordable price.
