To try and decide each week where and what to eat around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.

When somebody tells you that they have never really been a fan of chicken wings – until they tasted these wings – I have to give them a try and see what all the hubbub is about. Now that I’ve tried them, I get it. So did everyone else who watched the Super Bowl at Tipsy Putt because they put away about 700 wings over the five hours of coverage. That’s some real wing carnage.

Added to the menu about a month ago, the wings are baked to a GBD (golden brown delicious) before getting tossed in a house made spice rub. The baking of the wings really keeps the meat juicy on the inside and the perfect crispiness on the outside.

You have your choice of sauce to dunk in: buffalo, barbecue, ranch, or creamy cilantro. I have a hard time saying no to barbecue sauce, so that was my pick and it didn’t disappoint. You really can’t go wrong with any of them and there’s plenty to go around should you want to thoroughly coat each piece.

The spice rub adds a great flavor and is super approachable for any age. It’s not spicy, not overly salty and complements each of the dipping sauces uniquely. I blew through two before even hitting the sauce because they are stellar on their own and I’d encourage you to do the same because they’re that good.

If you’re one who hunts for food bargains, stop by their Swing and Wing Wednesdays and you can play nine holes while munching on $9 wings. Better yet, do a little pregame before hockey and pair them with a Knight Monster Punch cocktail for a fun night out. You can’t lose – even if the Knight Monsters do.
