Something was majorly wrong with the kitchen last night. I love BBT - best wings in the area. However, last night, we brought in friends of ours who have never been here. The kitchen was immensely slow - 90 minutes after we ordered, and the only thing that made it out was an appetizer - and that took almost an hour. We cancelled the rest of the order, paid for our drinks and app and left. I guess they were having a bad night in the kitchen. What bothers me is that there was no explanation. We were disappointed, but not as much as another guy who screamed “I’m never coming back here” as he left in a huff. It will be a while, but we will definitely try again after boating season. The food is just too good to give up on BBT.
absolute favorite place to go for wings! We have become regulars at wing night! Drive about 40 minutes to eat wings on Thursday. Other food is excellent too! Love the owner, servers & bartenders. They are super friendly and are hard workers! Food is cooked to order and kitchen seems small, so may take a little while. But servers keep your drinks filled and get apps out quick. If your starving order and app while you wait for your wings/meals. Great atmosphere and decor. It’s a little out of the way, but totally worth the drive!
There food really good especially the wings
Tied for THE BEST WINGS IN THE COUNTY, with Old Trails Inn!!!!! If you haven't stopped by for wing night you have been missing out. Say hi to Jeff while you're there
Read about the place in the local paper which made us want to visit. It made us very happy we did. Servings were large and beer was cold. Prices were fair and all employees were friendly. We will be back!
Nice spot. Very friendly service.
Great wings!!
Busy or not. Customers should always be right. Especially if they were as nice and patient as they could be for waiting two hours for food with young children. The attitudes of the workers and owner was unreal. Had been there numerous times before and never had issues. But will not go back anymore.
Our group had 20 people and every single order was correct! The staff was on top of everything and the attention to detail was top notch! We will definitely be going back!
Awesome place! Great wings, burgers and drinks. Bartender was super friendly! Will come back when I'm back in the area!

They say online they allow dogs on the outside seating, When I asked the staff, they got offended by the question.
I Used to somewhat like this place, but I will never be back
(Added edit - the owner assumes my “animal” isn’t a service dog. Then says my review was a personal retaliation instead of taking ownership of his employees actions. Fails to realize the person writing the review has also owned businesses) (What is wrong with this world where people lack any accountability or responsibility for their actions?)

They say online they will allow dogs on those outside seating.. when I asked they got all offended and said no. I used to love this place, I will not be back. Shame.
I've been here a couple of times now, and let me tell you- their wings are ranked up there with Buffalo wild wings. . Maybe even better. Great waitstaff. Good drinks. Fun time.
