Struts of Oxford

On Ali Way in Oxford, Alabama, Struts of Oxford has built its reputation around fresh, never-frozen chicken wings and hand-pattied burgers, serving as a casual, family-friendly gathering spot with one sister location in nearby Jacksonville, Alabama, at 500 Forney Ave NW. The restaurant keeps its focus tightly on food, wings and burgers made to order, while also functioning as a social hub with trivia nights, bingo, and karaoke-style singing events scheduled through the week, all under a company tagline of “Game’s On, Food’s Hot, Beer’s Cold.”

The wings are prepared fresh rather than from frozen stock, a point the restaurant emphasizes as central to its identity, and are offered across a wide range of sauce intensities, from mild options like teriyaki, honey BBQ, lemon pepper, and garlic parmesan, through medium sauces such as garlic buffalo and kickin’ bourbon, up to hot and fire-level sauces including hotyaki, spicy garlic, mango habanero, and a sauce simply named 911. The burger program uses ground beef that is hand-pattied daily rather than pre-formed, built as a build-your-own-burger concept and served on toasted buttery buns with a side, with named house combinations on the menu such as the Bama, Blacktop, Cowboy, Firecracker, Jalapeno Bacon, and Mushroom N’ Swiss. Sides run from beer-battered fries and waffle fries to tater tots, sweet potato fries, homemade tater chips, and onion rings, and the fuller menu also spans starters, BBQ platters, baskets, sandwiches, quesadillas, salads, and a Lil’ Strutters kids section.

Beyond the food, Struts has built a weekly events calendar that includes SINGO on Tuesday nights, free bingo on Wednesdays, and live trivia on Mondays at the Oxford location, distinct from the schedule kept at its Jacksonville counterpart, which runs SINGO on Thursdays, bingo on Mondays, and trivia on Wednesdays. That programming has helped make it a recurring destination for groups looking for something to do alongside a meal, rather than strictly a place to grab takeout. The restaurant also runs a VIP Club loyalty program through the Dryver platform, offering members discounts and rewards, and sells branded merchandise through an online store linked from its website.

Struts operates as a small, locally rooted two-location operation confined to Calhoun County rather than a national or regional franchise, which keeps it within the scope of Oxford’s genuinely independent dining scene even as it maintains a second location a short drive away in Jacksonville. Online ordering is available through DoorDash for guests who want the wings and burgers delivered rather than eaten on site, and the restaurant also handles catering for outside events, requesting 48 hours of advance notice and offering full-service, delivery, pickup, reception, and buffet formats for business meetings, conventions, holiday parties, receptions, weddings, and tour groups. Catering delivery is available for orders over $300, subject to a 10 percent delivery charge, and the catering program covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, and hors d’oeuvres depending on the event.

Each location also keeps its own separate social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram rather than sharing a single combined presence, and the catering section of the site offers a downloadable catering menu so event planners can review specific food offerings before submitting a request through the online form. General questions can also be routed through a contact form on the website in addition to calling either location directly.

The restaurant’s own website does not publish a detailed schedule of daily opening and closing hours or a zip code for the Oxford address, though the street address of 88 Ali Way is consistent across the restaurant’s own site and third-party listings like Yelp and Tripadvisor, helping confirm the location within Oxford. Guests planning a visit around a specific time are better off calling ahead or checking a delivery platform for current hours.

For diners in Oxford looking for a casual wings-and-burgers spot with a side of weeknight entertainment, Struts of Oxford offers a locally owned alternative to the national wing and burger chains found elsewhere along the city’s retail corridor, combining a straightforward food menu with a genuinely social, event-driven atmosphere.
