Knot Just a Bar’s Why Knot Wings

Tastemaker
Dec. 3, 2022

As the days cool off for the long haul, we find ourselves looking for a tiny taste of summer wherever we can find it. Our go-to is Omena’s Knot Just a Bar, where the bayside views evoke memories of warmer months even when ice creeps onto the water. We warm things up with an order of the Why Knot Wings, which are slow roasted and then flash fried before being tossed in your sauce of choice: buffalo, sriracha sweet chili, Jamaican jerk, dry rub, or classic barbeque. Personally, we’re suckers for the buffalo or the sriracha, both of which pack just the right amount of heat, especially when paired with one of the bar’s wide selection of Michigan-made beers. And don’t miss some of the winter specials currently running at the Omena location: Mondays are BOGO days for pizzas, and Friday offers an all-you-can-eat fish fry, back after a three-year hiatus. Find them at 5019 N West Bay Shore Dr. in Omena. (231) 386-7393, knotjustabar.com
