One of their most famous meals is "Dirt Wings" and they're always winning awards. The restaurant was named one of the top five bar foods in the country by Food Network, and Buzzfeed listed it as the #2 chicken wing you must try before you die.
Of course their wings are definitely deserving of the spotlight, but diners can't overlook their gigantic prime rib dinners.
