New server alley, extra BKW space
“(The expansion) was definitely a little more expensive than I had planned for, but the layout is fantastic, exactly what we were looking for,” BKW owner/founder Matt Beeler said. “We have a nice flow, now, of the staff, as well as the patrons who come in.
The restaurant added more than 500 square feet of additional dining space and a new server alley, which allows for better service and flow through the restaurant.
“The server alley, too, is a great addition,” he added. “I was almost more excited about that because the servers used to have to come out from behind the bar with the food out here in the dining area. Now, they can come this way,” he said, indicating the alley. “They’re not clogging up where people are coming in.”
The addition allowed BKW to add more than 50 percent more seating and more than double the number of tables, adding 25 more seats while going from eight to 17 tables.
“It’s our mission not just to grow the popularity of dry-rub, fresh-to-order wings among consumers, but also to bring back the times when eating a meal with family or friends was considered a special time meant to be cherished,” he said.
Founded in 1997 by Beeler, Big Kahuna Wings Bar & Grill is a family-owned restaurant concept “born out of the popular BKW Seasonings brand, whose original and fire-blend products have been satisfying taste buds at sporting events, parties and family gatherings for more than 50 years,” a press release stated.
Hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed on Sunday.
