Buffalo Wild Wings

  Went for drinks- didn't eat, but pretty familiar with standard b-dubs fare. Friendly staff, large open space. Decent patrons- seems to be a mainly local hang out. Semi clean bar- but was plagued by a couple of little fruit flies the entire time I was there- makes you wonder why they are hanging around here. It's right next to the movie theater. It has a patio that I'm looking forward to sitting out on in the warmer months.

  I always love BWW!  
  The atmosphere of this sports bar / restaurant is casual and comfortable. TVs undoubtedly have numerous sports games at any given time. You can also guarantee they'll always have #Buzztime playing - a trivia game which I love.
  BWW has a wide array of sweet, hot, spicy, tangy, ranchy, cool sauces for your wings or buffalo chips (fat fries). Sides and desserts are delicious, too.
  I've yet to have a bad BWW experience... and it seems like this chain is consistenly spreading across the country, too. Must be a testament of their solid business model.

  Wings were good here this time, but I tried to get three different beers before they actually had one in stock. That is annoying.  They need to keep a better inventory!

  The staff is friendly and food is fine.  I'm really liking the new fried pickles!

  OK, you know when you are driving down the road looking for something to eat, and nothing is catching your eye...well Buffalo Wild Wings is the place that somehow snatched my attention. I don't know if it's the buffalo with wings, the coloring, or the fact that inside those walls are some delicious sauces and tender chicken.
  
  We stopped by for a quick bite, sat on the patio, and waited less than three minutes before being greeted by our server. Our server was delightful and friendly. The service at "The Wild" is always top notch.
  
  We had the soft pretzels with queso dip and spicy mustard, then moved onto a 12 piece of assorted boneless wings. Long story short, I left content and with a huge smile. The pricetag was fair and the experience was super positive.
  
  I just want to give that big winged buffalo a hug after eating at "The Wild".

  Buffalo Wild Wings, while the concept is good - Sports Bar where you can get appetizers - the service is horrid. Our first visit left us wondering if we were supposed to serve ourselves or if we'd get served. We were stuck behind a booth where no one would know we were there unless we were sitting on top of the table.
  
  We had to keep going up and asking for our food, for utensils and anything else we might need. We were pretty much forgotten by our server who seemed it was better to flirt with the guys than to see if we might want anything else. We were interested in some dessert, but seeing as we might never see it, opted to pay our bill (Again, had to go up to the counter) and went to Coldstone. Such a shame. I doubt we'll be back again anytime soon.

  Ugh...this chain is awful. I have tried wings from two locations and they taste soggy (almost like they were boiled).  Their sauces are generic. We tried this location earlier this week, and also got fried pickles, which were ok, and soft pretzels that were pretty good (but who is going to go to a wing place for pretzels?). Anyway, the service was good, but the very best service could not bring me back into any Buffalo Wild Wings.

  One of the best wings pub restaurant I have been to..
  
  I was introduced to buffalo wild wings by my manager when he came on a trip from Minnesota since I told him how good i can handle heat..and loved chicken..
  
  we got the Blazing hot wings.. and i loved it... it was the spiciest wings i had.. so that was the beginning of the BWW experience..
  
  I had heard a lot about the Blazing wings challenge that BWW have and wanted to do it with my nice group of friends that I had, so we arranged a meetup we had almost 20 people come in and the waitresses there were really great and helped us set up the tables as we needed even though it was a Thursday night.. The service was excellent and our waitress one miss Alicia Rodriguez was particularly brilliant..
  
  me and a friend wanted to do the challenge and apparently almost noone in saint louis takes that challenge so they were very unsure about the rules, regulations and what not but they did not say no. she went to her manager and he came up to us and we decided we will do it..
  
  Well long story short I ended up besting the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazing Challenge ( 12 burning hot wings in 6 mins) and they gave me a free T-Shirt and took the wings off my bill and gave me free ice cream ( which i really badly needed to stay alive)... also they had a great collection of beer on tap..
  
  Overall a very eventful , fun and exciting event at the BWW including their amazing wings and beers makes it a must visit place and a place i would remember for ever!..( the fire and burning made sure of that)

  Went here the other night for a big group event.  They were very accommodating, gave us some big tables, and prepared our wings in advance so we didn't have to wait too long.  
  
  All we had were the wings, but they were great.  I have had the other things on the menu before (burgers, ribs ect.) and not been that impressed, but that doesn't really bother me as they are all about wings and they do them well.  They have a great variety of sauces to choose from ranging from totally mild to unbelievably spicy.  All were worth trying. My personal favorites were Garlic Parmesan and Asian Zing.   Wings were well cooked, not overdone or too greasy.  They were well sauced, not too much, not too little.  Decent beer selection too with a number of specials.
  
  The atmosphere is a little noisy. There is a bar area and a seating area, and both have huge numbers of TV screens showing any and all sports games that are on.  I am sure this place fills up for big games.  
  
  Bottom Line:  If you want to eat a whole meal of wings in a very sports focused environment, BWW is a good bet.

  Great wings but not the kind of 'great' that I want to wait for 2 hours for.  My pick up order was to be ready at 5 pm and we didn't get it until after 6pm. We missed the whole first quarter of the superbowl...including the botched national anthem!  The manager didn't even have the decency to apologize to us or explain anything.  We had to pay FULL price for our order.  Oh...but we got a free soda out of the ordeal so I guess it makes up for the crappy service...NOT!!!
  
  Bottom line: This place put the JERK in my carribean jerk chicken.

  This restaurant has the worst customer service I've ever experienced.  Skip this location! Pick another place for your sports, wings, etc.
  
  By request, here at the gruesome details:
  
  I called the restaurant at 4:00 to place a to go order for pickup at 5:00.  Recognizing that Super Bowl Sunday is a very busy day for these guys I expected some delay in getting my food and getting back out the door to the Super Bowl Party.  In fact, when the hostess said they could have it ready by 5, I said "make it 5:15, I know you guys are busy".  I arrived early and began waiting with about 15 other patrons who looked equally irritated.
  
  At 5:30 a manager approached and told me that my order would be "right up".  At 5:45 the same manager told me that my wings were being "sauced up" and I'd be on my shortly.  At 6:00 I approached the take out counter to request a soft drink...the staff balked and it took significant prodding to get more than a "kid sized" cup while I waited. Looking back I should've asked for a bucket of beer.  Fast forward to 6:20pm, my wings arrive, the first quarter of the Super Bowl is over and I receive little more than a "our bad" from the manager(s) on duty.  There were no less than 10 other customers whose orders were presumably lost by the incompetent staff at this location.  I won't be surprised to see many more negative reviews of this particular location.
  
  In the interest of full disclosure, I like BW3's and have been a customer of theirs for a long time.  The food is generally good and other locations seem to have it "right" in terms of staff and customer service.

  Great wings, tons of sauce choices, round fries, big tvs, and free trivia while you enjoy a beer? This is the place to go.

  Hubs loves this place - me? It'll do.  The wings aren't bad at all, matter of fact they are quite tasty.  We both like the hotter sauces and often when we go spend a moment or two trying to figure out which one/s we will pick.  That is THE coolest thing about this place - the many options you have for sauces.
  
  This place is a bar food place: wings, burgers, fries, onion rings, ribs, etc.  None of them make you want to sit up and pay attention, but they are satisfying enough for when you want to watch any number of games that may be playing on the TV's.  But whatever you do, do NOT order a salad!  Their salads are just lackluster at best.  They are like Bag - o - salad quality with some cheese shreds and croutons thrown on.
  
  Yes! I know. What am I doing ordering a salad at a joint that adverts wings?  It's an addiction, I have to have veggies.

  Special deals on Tuesdays is what it's all about. Just about 50 cents per wing, and they've got a huge selection of sauces! Best ones are definitely classic mild and medium (with bleu cheese, which is just a little extra), Asian Zing (go figure, haha), and Parmesan.
  
  Better yet, they have plenty of big screen T.V.'s all around for those big time sporting events. Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, you can watch almost any major game there.
  
  I also like to play on their little game machines for Buzz Time. You can sit at your seat and challenge your friends to trivia and other fun games.
  
  If you're in the mood for watching some sports and grabbin' some wings with your friends, BW3 (yes, it's a chain) is one place to definitely plan for it. You can go and cheer on your fantasy players!!

  Ate here yesterday as part of a team meeting.  Our waitress was FABULOUS.  I don't think Yelp allows me to print names, but I would love to send all of my friends to see her.  She was fantastic.  Our food was on time, drinks were cold and glasses never empty.  For a party of 12, that's an accomplishment.
  
  The food itself was great for the price.  Well prepared and tasty.  I didn't get wings this time, I got the Black and Bleu burger - which comes with plenty of toppings for those of us who need more than meat on a bun.  
  
  My one complaint - smoking.  Once the county smoking bans goes in place I'll be dining out a lot more.

  Ok now this is funny.  I am at my office and the phone rings about 10am.  I answer the phone and it is my server telling me she was going to be a little late what time would I be coming.  I told her the time and she said good she will be there.  Uh how many people have their server call you?  She is leaving in a few months to move out of town.  I will miss her great smile and service.

  Why review a franchise you ask?  To warn you not to sit in the bar area if you don't like smoke.  The waitress actually complained to us about it.  That's how bad it was.  Absolutely ZERO circulation.....
  
  Now to the standard review of this place.  The amount of sauces are Redonkulous.  Yes everyone loves the boneless wings, but to the most underrated part of this place..... wedges with cheese.  They have what I would describe as an oregano, garlic, ranch type of seasoning on them. Also, it might be a combination of you go there too much or they just have that good of service but kuddos to a place when the wait staff remember you and what you drink.

  For some reason I never thought i would be saying this but I think BWW has stepped their game up. The last time I went here...I was in VA and my thoughts about this place were not very good. I ordered 12 wings (all flat) 6 with honey bbq 6 with Caribbean jerk  and the best part of the meal was the roasted potatoes. The honey bbq sauce was actually really tasty and the caribbean jerk was a bit too spicy...like spicy to the point that I couldn't eat them all. The roasted potatoes are filled with flavor which makes them soooo tasty!  I could careless about all the flat screen tvs because im not a sports fanatic so that didn't woo we me one bit. I'll probably come on Tuesday since thats when they have the best deal.

  What is there to say about BWW that hasn't already been said?
  
  They have a TON of different sauces, wing specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and TVs everywhere.
  
  The food itself is mediocre. Go on a Tuesday, try sauces that sound interesting, repeat if necessary.
  
  I've had better.

  I don't normally review franchises, as they are just that, a franchise; but I thought I'd give a shout out to BWW in this instance. Some friends and I went here on Nov. 11 because they were sponsoring a fundraiser called Trees for Troops. A portion of their proceeds that night went to an organization that sends Christmas trees to service men and women who will not be able to be home for Christmas. Other than doing something wonderful by helping out a good cause, the service was good on a busy night, and our food was nice as well. We split the appetizer sampler and 24 boneless wings with 4 different sauces. BWW is always good for bar food while watching the game, it was also nice to see them helping out the community.

  BWW is an o.k. place to drop by for lunch, though it is nothing really out of this world. I probably would have given three stars, but the service leaves quite a bit to be desired at this location.
  
  I have only tried their chicken sandwiches, "naked tenders," wings, and the chicken tenders (best experience was a take out order of wings and tenders on an afternoon of boating and beer..) I can't speak to the burgers or pulled pork.
  
  The food always seems very salty to me. I could have put the the naked tenders out in my yard as salt lick for wayward deer. I couldn't eat more than one without feeling my BP go up to 400/80.
  
  Personally, if going for sauced up meat, I'll take Bandana's over BWW.

  I love BWW.  Not because the food is particularly fantastic or that the service is stellar, but because you can't beat a place that has tall beers for a low price and will slather wing sauce on anything that will stand still.  This particular location is a fave during Ohio State games because the alumni association camps out here (or at least they used to) during football season.
  
  It misses one star because sometimes the servers are kind of rude and it seems to be JUST at this location.  We were stopped in there late a few weeks ago (because we couldn't agree on where to go next and the other great thing about BW3 is that it's always the default drinking locale).  For some reason that night, it seemed like the waitress was annoyed that we were all a little tipsy and therefore were being responsible and only sipping our beers.  Did she want us falling off our bar stools in some sort of stupor?  You be the judge.

  This BWW is as BW3 (old name for this joint, I think) goes.  It's chicken wings galore w/ tons of sauce options.  I tried the milder versions, the terikayhi (too salty), honey BBQ (quite good), and sweet BBQ (ok).  Will try the spicier ones next time.
  
  For what it's worth, there is a nice patio outside for gathering with friends.  I took mine to-go and they were promptly ready with my order as indicated.
  
  Note that they do have $0.40 wing special on Tues.  I've not tried it here but have done this in Chicago.  I would imagine it's the same deal $0.40 per wing in order of 6 wing increments, etc...  Also for those who like boneless wings (just giant nuggets to me), they have specials on Thursday.  Not sure about the specifics of the deal!
