The last time I was here, I didn't own a cell phone - which is just as well, since there was no signal here anyway. I was staying nearby for work this week and thought I would see if 30 years (give or take, the math is fuzzy) of memories would hold up, so I took myself to Drover's for some of their famous wings. No more roll of paper towel on the table, but the generous wad of lightweight napkins did the trick. The wings were smaller than I remember but still just as delicious. The owner was happy to seat me when I told him that I went to Franciscan so many years ago, and I think he was pleased to know that I wasn't one of the hooligans who stole a bunch of stuff from the tavern back in the day so there's that. Although there's some new modern features now - like ordering online! - the decor and ambience remain the same as I remember. I wish the ladies' room could've kept some of its old fashioned charm but I'm sure it's just as well. That weird rolling hand towel thing that I never could manage has been replaced by a dispenser of paper towels that didn't make me question whether I need to re-wash my hands. Cheers to this trip down memory lane!
Excellent wings and service is always great. The fried pickles and hot pepper cheese balls are perfect every time.
Love the wings and deep fried pickles and all the other amazing food they have always busy but always amazing food
Wings are always amazing! Service is also great! Arriving to Drover's for our reservation..... my husband tells me I have a hole in the seem of my pants! I was so embarrassed! The host (Levi) caught on to the situation (while my husband and BIL are cracking up) and brought me a T-shirt to wear with no charge. So sweet!
We will usually do a Sunday drive and end up here for their wings! So many different flavors to choose from...
