Top Review: “Great wing place with tons of options and flavors.. can choose between flats or drums. Tons of sauces. I like my wings extra well done and they did a good job at cooking them up as I like. I am a purist so I tried the mild buffalo “b1 original” and it was good. Had hot cheese bites and soft pretzels as well. I’ll be back. The wings are “market price” and very expensive“ – Skyler H.
Fat Head’s Saloon
Fat Head’s Saloon is a local craft brew bar that’s got some amazing wings.
What makes it so flavorful is because they’re dry rubbed, smoked, then char-grilled before serving it to you. They come out with juicy and tender meat, while the outside is just crispy.
Pair their wings with one of their amazing craft brews or an ice-cold beer.
