It’s easy to stick with your usual order, but you could be missing out. From appetizers and sandwiches to house-smoked meats, soups, and gluten-free friendly options, there’s plenty to enjoy — and it’s about more than just generous portions.
So next time you pull up a chair, here are a few menu items worth considering:
To Eat
The Wobbly Boots Sampler
Feeling indecisive? The sampler makes it easy — four of each crowd favorite, all on one plate (whether you share or not).
The onion rings are golden and crisp; the classic, juicy bone-in wings are tossed in the signature mustard-base sauce; tender spare ribs are coated in smoky, saucy goodness; and bacon-wrapped shrimp brings seafood to the party.
Catfish BLT
This is quite the hoagie.
Seasoned in corn meal and fried until golden brown, the catfish filet is thin, flakey, and not too fishy. Cajun mayo brings a hint of heat while lettuce and tomato add freshness to the sandwich, topped with crispy bacon.Pair it with some thick cut fries and you’re all set.
Hot Cheesy Stripper
Stripped to the basics—meat and cheese on a hoagie roll—this is a must-try. Juicy breaded chicken tenders are tossed in a hot chipotle sauce and finished with melty Provolone to make one delicious mouthful.
If it’s too spicy, a drizzle of ranch is the perfect addition. For those who can’t get enough cheese, go with the cheesy corn side. It’s savory and packed with ham!
Crusty Cuban
Pressed to perfection, this sandwich is loaded with flavor but is still easy to handle. Smoky house-pulled pork teams up with pit ham, pickles, house-made mustard and melted Swiss for that classic Cuban bite.
It’s crisp on the outside, warm and tangy on the inside. Pair it with the gourmet potato salad, a creamy mustard-based blend tossed with celery, onions, pickles and eggs, for a side that holds its own.
Bread Pudding
Wobbly Boots doesn’t change too much about their menu, but this dessert goes through quite the rotation! Rich, slightly spiced, and sweet, this warm bread pudding is served with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream.
The kitchen swaps flavors often, from carrot cake, peach, and even red velvet, so just ask the waiter what’s for dessert that day.
To Drink
Moscow Mule
Copper mugs chill this drink to perfection. Mules blend zesty ginger beer with citrusy lime juice and vodka. Whether you go with the classic or mix it up from the array of flavors, this cocktail is a great choice for something refreshing and fizzy.
Modelo Especial
This popular cerveza is now on tap! Light and crisp, the Mexican Pilsner has a subtle sweetness that pairs well with just about anything. For a full, well-balanced flavor, go with this golden beer.
Old Fashioned
If you know, you know. This Old Fashioned leans rich and smooth thanks to Maker’s Mark bourbon. The simple syrup and bitters provide balance, while the Luxardo cherry and orange peel add just the right hint of citrus and spice.
I'm sure your stomach is grumbling after reading this whole article. Good thing Wobbly Boots is open year-round!
