The COVID-19 pandemic guarantees a Super Bowl Sunday will be different from usual, but that food and beverage will still be center stage for most.
In normal years, the big day focuses on house parties, supportive cheering and a wide assortment of food. For those who don’t want to cook, Augusta area restaurants are ready to supply favorite Super Bowl snacks.
Wild Wing offers a range of standard Super Bowl food options, from salad to fresh hamburgers, to onion rings. Their biggest seller is, of course, chicken wings, a Super Bowl staple. Their wings are made entirely from scratch with 30 different sauce options. The sauces go from sweet to fiery buffalo.
For those willing to eat-in, Wild Wing on Washington Road is a perfect place to watch the Super Bowl. They have plenty of televisions and even a projector for watching the big game. The restaurant will be enforcing state guidelines to protect against COVID-19.
