Fittingly, National Chicken Wing Day was established in 1977 in Buffalo, NY, the birthplace of the iconic American snack. Our real estate agents will be celebrating on Thursday, July 29th, with a pile of hot wings at one of these popular restaurants in the Kennebec Valley.
- Riverfront Barbeque & Grill - 300 Water St., Augusta, ME 04330
Riverfront Barbeque & Grill takes its name from the historic district where it's located, just minutes from Augusta homes for sale. Their classic Buffalo-style wings are served with traditional sides of celery and bleu cheese dressing. Honey sriracha and other creative wing flavors are periodically offered as daily specials. On Thursday through Saturday, enjoy your wings with an elegant cocktail at the Gin Mill, the upstairs bar patterned after a speakeasy. Riverfront Barbeque is open 11:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday.
- Ninety Nine - 291 Civic Center Dr., Augusta, ME 04330
Boneless chicken wings provide the same punch of flavor with less mess to clean up. Ninety Nine serves up their hand-breaded boneless wings with their signature Gold Fever honey mustard BBQ or authentic Buffalo sauce. Pair your wings with potato skins, another bar food favorite, in Ninety Nine's sampler platter. Hours are 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. daily.
- John Sullivan's Pub - 18 Bridge St., Augusta, ME 04330
Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name. That's the time for John Sullivan's Pub, a laid-back Irish-style bar named for the legendary boxer known as the "Boston Strong Boy." The menu is heavy on pub dishes such as shepherd's pie and Scottish eggs, but John Sullivan's also makes a tasty chicken wing in half-pound or full-pound servings. Seven different sauces, including bourbon, sweet chili, and garlic parmesan, feature something for every taste. John Sullivan's is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.
- End Zone Pizza and Deli - 315 Eastern Ave., Augusta, ME 04330
A pizza joint may seem like a counterintuitive place to find chicken wings, but don't tell the folks at End Zone Pizza and Deli. Customers love their flavorful chicken wings as a starter before one of their delicious pizzas, calzones, or sandwiches. Wings come bone-in or boneless with a choice of six sauces, such as BBQ and teriyaki. Are you up to the Gridiron Challenge? If you and your BFF finish End Zone's 30-inch pizza in 45 minutes, you get a free t-shirt and a permanent spot on the winner's board. Hours are 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. - 11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Sunday.
- The Quarry Taproom - 122 Water St., Hallowell, ME 04347
The name of the Quarry Taproom serves as a link to the city's storied past. At one time, granite quarries once surrounded the area that's now the site of Hallowell homes for sale. The 38 local and regional craft beers on tap make fine companions for an order of Quarry wings, lightly tossed with your choice of seven sauces, including Maine maple hot sauce. The Quarry Taproom is open from 11:30 a.m. - midnight daily.
