The Saucy Wings Served In This Iowa Bar Will Leave You Licking Your Fingers

One of the best things about living in Iowa is that it's easy to track down great food! We're right in the heart of the country, so we have access to some of the best dishes you'll ever try. Sometimes, though, steaks and tenderloins get a little too common, and that's when we reach out for something outside of our stereotypical beef and pork loving lives. If you're looking for new flavors and a meal you're sure to love, head to Council Bluffs to track down the best wings in Iowa.

Council Bluffs is full of fine dining restaurants, sports bars, and chains - so when you first stumble upon the hole-in-the-wall Salty Dog, you'll find that the best hidden gem has been right under your nose.

This welcoming and lively sports bar is sure to become your new favorite hangout. The atmosphere is as delightful as the food!

They offer five specialty burgers, and occasionally feature an experimental one that's always worth trying.

Of course, their menu has other bar bites, like sandwiches, wraps, nachos, pizza rolls, and even salads.

Most people who make the trek out to The Salty Dog are here for one reason, though - this humble little bar makes the best wings in Iowa.

For years, foodies have raved about their "charbuff" wings. They're battered, fried, tossed in sauce, and finished on the grill. You can order them extra crispy, extra dry, charbuff, or double-dipped.

Whether you choose classic buffalo or barbecue, buffaque, spicy or ghost pepper - your tastebuds are in for quite a treat! Be warned - the ghost pepper sauce is delicious, but impossibly hot. Do you dare try it?

Address: 2411 S 24th Street, Council Bluffs, IA, 51501

Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, so you can rest assured that they have your late night wing cravings covered.
