Now a successful local chain, Bob Baumhower's Wings Restaurant lives up to its reputation for tasty wings in a setting of plentiful sports décor and television screens viewable from every seat in the house. Chicken wings come in a variety of sauces, including the traditional Buffalo-style, or you can opt for the boneless "Hot Lips," which arrive hand-breaded and fried, marinated in a fiery sauce and served with buttermilk ranch dressing. Other popular starters include fried pickles or mushrooms, and cheese fries. There's an enormous selection of burgers and sandwiches, such as the Black & White Chicken sandwich (a large chicken breast marinated in house sauce and spices and topped with the specialty white barbecue sauce). Wings also serves fresh salads and a nice selection of fish, chicken and steak entrées. For dessert, don't miss the house-made banana pudding with sliced bananas and Nilla Wafers or the delicious blackberry cobbler.
Kids' menu. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
