Menu Showdown: Ribs vs. Wings

Just as a parent doesn't have a favorite child, we love each of our savory Des Moines BBQ restaurant dishes equally. Incredible amounts of love, care, and nurturing go into every Wobbly Boots Roadhouse menu item, so you couldn't possibly ask us to choose one over the other. 



You, on the other hand, CAN have a favorite! As an impartial judge, we would love to know how you feel about a couple of our most popular BBQ creations. Today we are pitting our jumbo, juicy chicken wings against our tender, meaty ribs. See if you can decide who is the tastiest.



Baby Back Ribs

When the word "BBQ" is uttered, who doesn't picture a big ol' rack of ribs? Here at the Boot, we know how to cook them up to be the most tender, most juicy, most mouth-watering ribs you've ever put in your mouth. 



For our classic BBQ dinner featuring this incredible creation, we start with a 2-pound slab of meaty ribs. Our chef then coats them with our specially formulated dry rub before slow-smoking them over hickory.

Once they are perfectly smoked, we lightly grill them and baste them with our own homemade secret recipe sauce. You'll need a lot of napkins handy when you dig into a plate of these ribs filled with tender, delectable, fall-off-the-bone goodness. 





Wobbly Wings

At the top of our appetizers section of the menu, you will see our award-winning Wobbly Wings prominently featured. These jumbo, bone-in chicken wings get a similar treatment our those tasty ribs, but come out with a flavor that's all their own. 



The first step is to coat each wing in that special dry rub of ours. They are then slow-roasted in our hickory pit. Once they come out of the smoker, the juicy, taste-tempting flavor that they posses without sauce is unbelievable on its own. 

To up the flavor ante even more, we have 4 of the best wing sauces ever made to coat them in. 

  • BBQ - Our house recipe sauce. A great addition to anything!
  • Original - A sauce like no other. Try it, you'll be hooked. 
  • Chipotle Buffalo - Our version of traditional buffalo.
  • Teriyaki - Sweet meets heat. Delicious!  


Having trouble deciding? 

We don't blame you one bit. Simply describing these amazing menu items has us drooling already. Once you come in to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse and get a whiff of that hickory-smoked aroma, it will be ever tougher to decide! 

If it's truly too hard for you to pick between these two, we've got you covered. There is a Ribbies & Wings plate made especially for this reason. Two of our best dishes on one plate: 4 ribs and 5 wings. The only problem with ordering this sampler plate is that it will probably leave you craving more! No worries, we've got enough coming out of the smoker daily to feed even the biggest appetites. 


No matter which Wobbly Boots Roadhouse menu item that you decide to order, we know you will leave satisfied, full, and with a big smile on your face. Don't put too much thought into your order, because it's all fantastic. You'll just have to come back to the best BBQ restaurant near Des Moines often and try something new each visit.

7 Football Food Fun Facts About Chicken Wings

Every current list that we came across listed the #1 football food to eat during Superbowl 50 as chicken wings.  Wobbly Boots Roadhouse's award-winning wings will be at the top of your "favorite wings" list once you try them.  The best restaurant in Des Moines knows exactly how to prepare them so they are tender, juicy, and mouth-watering.  While we're on the subject of wings, let's start out by telling you a few fun facts about this football-watching food favorite. 
  


1. The Superbowl turns 50 this year, but the wing has been around longer.  This March marks 52 years since they were first served in Buffalo, New York.

2. Chicken wings gained popularity as a football food after the Buffalo Bills played in four Superbowls in a row. 

3. On Superbowl Sunday, Americans generally eat about 1.25 billion chicken wings across the country.  

4. The average person can eat a dozen wings in one sitting.

5. The world record for most wings eaten was set in January 2015 at Philadelphia's Wing Bowl 23.  Patrick Bertoletti ate 444 chicken wings in 26 minutes, followed very closely by Molly Schuyler who ate 440 chicken wings.  

6. In the long-time debate over ranch vs. bleu cheese dressing for chicken wing dipping, ranch usually wins with the most votes.  

7. Frank's Red Hot sauce is said to have been used on the first chicken wings. We have our own secret recipe Chipotle Buffalo sauce at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, plus three other delicious choices.

Here at the Boot, we take extra-special care preparing chicken wings.  Our juicy jumbo wings are coated in our house dry rub, then slow-roasted in the hickory pit.  We we serve them up with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese (because we love both!)  Order them in batches of 5, 10, 20, or 30, either dry or with one of our four delicious sauce choices. 

  • House Recipe Sauce - A great addition to anything!
  • Original - A sauce like no other.
