Join Us at Lake of the Ozarks WingFest 2019

When you're searching for the best wings at the Lake of the Ozarks, our flavorful, tender, hickory-smoked Wobbly Wings are a great place to start. In our humble opinion (and that of just about every person that has given them a try) the wings at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach are the tastiest, most enjoyable wings you're ever going to sink your teeth into! 

Of course, if you're the type of person that likes to compare a few different wings all at once, you're in luck! You can join us, along with many other lake area restaurants, for the 2019 Annual Lake of the Ozarks WingFest.

2019 WingFest Details
This year's tastiest of events, the 2019 Lake of the Ozarks WingFest, will take place on Wednesday, September 25 from 5:00-7:00 pm at the Regalia Hotel & Conference Center in Lake Ozark.  

Tickets can be purchased in advance at any Central Bank of the Lake of the Ozarks location for just $10 or at the door for $12. Plan to show up good and hungry because, with that ticket, you get 2 straight hours ALL THE WINGS YOU CAN EAT! (While they last, that is. This is a VERY popular event, for obvious reasons!) 

Your ticket also comes with one free drink plus there will be a cash bar available. They plan to keep you entertained in addition to well-fed because the wonderful Cindy Lawhorn will be performing at WingFest again this year. All of the proceeds raised from ticket sales will be used to benefit local charities.  

Why Wobbly Wings Are The Best
Once you taste the award-winning, hickory-smoked Wobbly Wings served at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, you're going to have a tough time finding wings you like better! We have a very special way of creating that irresistible wing, plus 6 different ways to serve them that offer delicious variety. 

First, we coat juicy, jumbo chicken wings in our house dry rub. Next, they are slow-roasted in our hickory pit for the perfect amount of time to ensure the most mouthwatering meat possible. After that, you may order them:

• Plain - No sauce needed, just that hickory-smoked goodness. 
• BBQ - Our house recipe sauce. A great addition to anything!
• Original - A mustard-based sauce like no other. Try it, you'll be hooked!
• Chipotle Buffalo - Our version of traditional buffalo.
• Teriyaki - Sweet and delicious!
• Trashed - Our smoked wings deep-fried before serving. 

We hope to see many of you at the 2019 Lake of the Ozarks WingFest later this month. It's always a wonderful night out full of fun and great food benefitting some terrific local organizations. You don't have to wait until WingFest to get your wing cravings satisfied though. Come on in to our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant any day of the week and order up a plateful. It will be a good warm-up for all the wings you'll be eating at the WingFest!

Celebrate National Chicken Wing Day the Most Delicious Way Possible

National Chicken Wing Day is coming up again next Monday, July 29, 2019. Lucky for you that the best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks just so happens to serve the most amazing chicken wings in the Midwest! The Wobbly Wings at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse are one of our most popular menu items, making them the perfect dish to celebrate this awesome holiday with. 

Wobbly Wings at the Boot
Just what makes Wobbly Wings so darn good? Our hickory-smoking expertise is a big part of that! First, we take jumbo chicken wings and generously coat them in our house dry rub. Next, they are slow-roasted in our hickory pit to ensure the perfect degree of doneness. 

Once they're ready for serving, the best hot wings at the Lake of the Ozarks are so good that they can easily be enjoyed sauceless. We do have some terrific sauce choices available though, so you may just want to give one of these a try. 

• BBQ -Our house recipe BBQ sauce. (A great addition to anything!) 
• Original - A mustard-based sauce like no other. Try it, you'll be hooked!
• Chipotle Buffalo - Our incredible version of a traditional Buffalo sauce. 
• Teriyaki - Sweet and delicious!
• Trashed - Our smoked wings deep-fried before serving.

Hot Wing History

As is the case with most legendary tales, the origin of today's hot wing is a bit cloudy. One fact is for sure. They were first introduced in Buffalo, New York in 1964, hence the popular name "Buffalo wings." The rest of the history is up for debate.

• The most popular origin stories revolve around Teressa Bellissimo, a Buffalo, New York restaurant owner. One account chalks the appetizer creation up to a mistake. She and her husband Frank were expecting a delivery of necks, which they used to make spaghetti sauce for their establishment, the Anchor Bar. Frank convinced her to get creative rather than waste the shipment. Teressa chose to deep-fry the naked wings, toss them in some hot sauce, and serve them up with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks.
• Their son, Dominic, remembers the story a little differently. He says that his mother created the wings after he asked her to make up something special late on a Friday night. Most of their customers were Catholic and weren't eating meat on Fridays. Since they had been spending lots of money in the bar that evening, Dominic wanted to offer them a special treat at midnight as a thank you for their patronage.
• One last twist on this particular tale was that Teressa came up with her amazing wings one night when Dominic and his friends from college came in hungry. The one thing that all of these stories has in common is Teressa and her delicious creativity. 
• There is one story that does not involve Mrs. Bellissimo. John Young says that he grew up eating chicken wings and he created a special "Mambo Sauce" to go with them. His wings were breaded before they were deep-fried and the drummies and flats were not separated before cooking. He registered the name of his restaurant, Wings 'n' Things, in the mid-'60s before he left Buffalo in 1970.

Perfect For Every Meal

Chicken wings are definitely a dish that deserves a special day all its own. Not only are they mouthwateringly irresistible, but they can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways at many times throughout a day. 

For example, they're the perfect way to start your meal as an appetizer before a main dish of more of the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. They're hearty enough to be the main dish on their own as well.  

It's a wonderful food for sharing with a table full of friends. (But you'll probably want to make sure everyone has their own ranch or bleu cheese to avoid any double-dipping accusations!) Our wings are available in orders of 5, 10, or 20 in the restaurant or as many as 50 if we cater them for your events and celebrations. 

These wonderful wings are also featured in a couple of our popular combo appetizers. You can order Ribbies & Wings featuring 6 Wobbly Wings and 4 pork spare ribs. Your other option is even bigger, the Wobbly Boots Sampler, with 4 Wobbly Wings, 4 spare ribs, 4 onion rings, and 4 bacon wrapped shrimp!  

No matter how you decide to order them, just make sure you get to Wobbly Boots BBQ in Osage Beach soon and order them. They're sure to land at the top of your list of favorite foods from now on!

On Wednesday, September 19 you can help us prove that fact at this year's Lake of the Ozarks Wingfest 2018! All the wings you can eat, live music, and money raised for a great cause... you don't want to miss that!

WINGS!!!

WingFest brings many local restaurants together under one roof and gives them all a chance to prove they can cook up the best chicken wings at the Lake of the Ozarks. Your ticket includes all the wings you care to eat during the event, 2 drink tickets for either beer, wine, or soda, and musical entertainment from the talented Cindy Lawhorn. If you'd like to purchase your tickets in advance, they are available at all of the Central Bank of the Lake of the Ozarks locations. 

Why The Boot Should Win

Just one taste is all you need of our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant's tender, mouthwatering, hickory-smoked wings to convince you that they are the best in the Midwest. Since you can't have them until next week's Wingfest (unless, of course, you come on into to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse sooner than that) here is a vivid description of our delicious wings to give you a good idea of what you can expect. (The pictures help too. If we could only figure out how to add the irresistible scent into the blog...) 

First, we coat jumbo chicken wings in our very special house dry rub. Next, they are slow-roasted in our hickory pit until they reach the perfect degree of fall-off-the-bone goodness. After that, you are welcome to enjoy them as-is, because our plain smoked wings are absolutely delicious on their own. If you prefer your wings with sauce, we've got some amazing options for you too. 

• BBQ - Our house recipe sauce. A great addition to anything!
• Original - A mustard-based sauce like no other.
• Chipotle Buffalo - Our version of traditional Buffalo.
• Teriyaki - Sweet meets heat. Delicious!
• Trashed   - Our smoked wings deep-fried before serving.

Wobbly Wings come in orders of 5, 10, 20, or even 30, and they're tasty enough to make a meal out of on their own. If you want to enjoy our wings along with a few other savory BBQ options, they make a wonderful appetizer or you can order one of our combination plates. 

Ribbies & Wings

Two of our most popular items! You get 4 individual pork spare ribs and 6 Wobbly Wings.  

The Wobbly Boots Sampler

Some of the best of what we have to offer! 4 Wobbly Wings, 4 Spare Ribs, 4 Onions Rings, and 4 Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. A mountain of food suitable for a big meal or sharing!

Like we said, if you simply can't wait until Wingfest 2018 on Wednesday, September 19, then, by all means, come on into our family friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks before that and get your wing fix! Still, we hope that you are able to join Wobbly Boots BBQ along with all of the other local restaurants taking part in this fantastic lake area annual event. Be sure to bring your appetite, and start at our booth first before someone else eats them all!

The Many Reasons That Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is the Best at the Lake of the Ozarks

Lake Lifestyles magazine hosts the "Best of the Lake" survey at this time every year, and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is thrilled to be featured in multiple categories! All of you deserve a great big thank you for nominating us and keeping your favorite restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks in the running. Voting takes place now through March 10, 2017, and here are all of the ways that we are have been nominated as the "Best of the Lake."   

Best BBQ 
Our cooking style was inspired by the BBQ meccas of the United States: Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, and Texas. We combined the genius of those experts to create the hybrid-style, hickory-smoked deliciousness that provides you with the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. To top it all off, literally, we add our very own, house-made BBQ sauce. Simply irresistible!    

Best Ribs
One of the most popular items on our BBQ menu is our incredible ribs. We begin by coating them with a special dry rub. The Baby Back Ribs are then slow-smoked, lightly grilled, and basted with our secret recipe sauce. The juicy Classic Pork Spare Ribs are slow roasted to perfection over hickory logs, and both dishes can be ordered as a full or half slab. 

Best Chicken Wings
Those hickory logs in our smoker also help to create the most amazing, smoked chicken wings that the lake area has ever tasted! That flavor alone is enough to please any wing lover, but we also have 4 unbelievable wing sauces for you to choose from: BBQ, Original, Chipotle Buffalo, and Teriyaki. 

Best Nachos
Great nachos don't have to be made in a Mexican restaurant. We add one of our savory smoked meats along with some other unique toppings to create a flavor that people come back for over and over. Our BBQ Pork Nachos feature tri-colored tortilla chips covered with spicy queso sauce, and then we top it all with pulled pork, baked beans, cheddar-jack cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions. Yum! 

Best Meal For the Money
You can order a meal the whole family will love at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse without breaking the bank. We offer an affordable menu full of the most delicious food at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you join us for Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm, plus all day Sunday, you can even take advantage of some extra special pricing on a few of our tastiest dishes. 

Friendliest Restaurant
We love our regular customers, and we are always excited to greet someone new to our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant. When you dine with us, you'll find a family-friendly, down home atmosphere with the best customer service and friendliest staff in town. We want you to feel like a part of the family while you're here. 

Best Server
Last year's Best Server at the Lake of the Ozarks is nominated again this year, and that just happens to be our very own Jessica Simpson! Her friendly, helpful attitude and overall awesomeness for taking care of customers at the Boot is a big reason why many people keep coming back. She gets better and better every year, so a vote for Jess again this year is definitely the right call.

Best Caterer (x 2)
This year their are two separate categories for best caterer, one in restaurants and one in weddings, and we made it onto both lists! The Barrett Restaurant Group, made up of yours truly, Dog Days Bar & Grill, and Shorty Pants Lounge, is the driving force behind the amazing tastes that we have to offer for any type of event or celebration. Let us know what you're in the mood for, and we'll bring it over and serve it up to you hot, fresh, and delicious. 

Best All Around Restaurant
Once again, we want to thank everyone that took the time to vote for Wobbly Boots BBQ in the first round of nominations, allowing us to make it to this final round of voting. All of the reasons listed above played a part in your favorite place to eat BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks qualifying for the Best All Around Restaurant too. 

We spend every day, all year long, making sure that we offer only the most delicious food, refreshing drinks, and best customer service, and we're so humbled that you noticed.

The History of the Hot Wing

Hot wings have become such an incredibly popular food, it's hard to believe that they really haven't been around that long.  Supposedly, the creation of this delicious appetizer was in 1964, just over 50 years ago.  The best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks has our own, special way of creating the tastiest wings in town, but here is how they are believed to have first come about. 

As with most legends, there are conflicting stories about the origin of the hot wing.  They do all agree that it was introduced in Buffalo, New York, lending to the popular name of "Buffalo Wings."  In the 1960's, the chicken wing was considered the least desirable part of the bird.  If it wasn't automatically thrown away, it was only good to use for stock.  

• The most popular origin stories revolve around Teressa Bellissimo, a Buffalo, New York restaurant owner.  One account chalks the appetizer creation up to a mistake.  She and her husband Frank were expecting a delivery of necks, which they used to make spaghetti sauce for their establishment, the Anchor Bar.  Frank convinced her to get creative rather than waste the shipment.  Teressa chose to deep-fry the naked wings, toss them in some hot sauce, and serve them up with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. 

• Their son, Dominic, remembers the story a little differently.  He says that his mother created the wings after he asked her to make up something special late on a Friday night.  Most of their customers were Catholic and weren't eating meat on Fridays. Since they had been spending lots of money in the bar that evening, Dominic wanted to offer them up a special treat at midnight as a thank you for their patronage.  

• One last twist on this tale was that Teressa came up with her amazing wings one night when Dominic and his friends from college came in hungry.  The one thing that all of these stories has in common is Teressa and her creative use of a throw-away meat.  

• There is one story that does not involve Mrs. Bellissimo.  John Young says that he grew up eating chicken wings, and he created a special "Mambo Sauce" to go with them.  His wings were breaded before they were deep-fried, and the drummies and flats were not separated before cooking.  He registered the name of his restaurant, Wings 'n' Things, in the mid-60's before he left Buffalo in 1970. 

Regardless of the true origin, throughout the 1970's wings grew in popularity first through Buffalo, then through all of New York, and eventually beyond.  Today hot wings are offered as an appetizer on most menus, and are probably the most popular food to have when you watch the game.  They can be prepared smoked, fried, naked, breaded, or trashed (dipped in the fryer, tossed in sauce, then fried again), and the sauces available are endless.  

Wobbly Boots Roadhouse chooses to coat our jumbo chicken wings in a dry rub before we slow roast them in our hickory pit.  They are served up in orders of 5, 10, 20, or 30 with your choice of four incredible sauces:  our House-recipe BBQ sauce, Original, Chipotle Buffalo, and Teriyaki.  These tender, fall-off-the-bone wings are a favorite dish that you can get in our restaurant, and at our sister restaurants Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge.  

The best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks knows hot wings.  The next time you are craving this savory appetizer, head on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach.  If the Bellissimo's or John Young could taste our version, we know they'd be proud.
