I was a big B-dubs fan at Michigan State - the people in there knew me by name. Maybe that's why I got a 2.9 grade point average. Shut up.
This place doesn't have the college vibe, which was disappointing. I was looking for nostalgia, it wasn't there, so I got a little sad. But the nice selection of beers, and the variety of sauces pulled me back to reality. The average service also was fairly similar to days and nights passed at the B-dubs in E. Lansing. The pay parking lot is also a little annoying. Really Dearborn? Are you kidding me? No, "that'll be $3.50".
I came here on the 25th of March 2012 to get a late drink and some snack while I was visitng Detroit for the first time. The waiters come so often you feel pressured in a way where they tell you eat and get out. I will think twice before coming here again on my next visit to Detroit!!!
Review Source:I work in Dearborn and have visited this BW3s maybe 7 times within the last few years. The wait staff isn't very friendly and really don't come by the table often enough. The food is average at best. There are many other bars in the area that have better food. I went there this week (03/13/2012) and got 12 boneless wings, small fry and a pop. It was $17 and with tip, $20. That's just crazy. $20 for chicken wings? I won't be going back.
Review Source:Never Again! I have been to several Buffalo Wild Wings locations and the Dearborn, MI location was the worse so far. I was dining in after a baptism with a group which consisted of 10 people. One person in the group sent back nachos because she doesn't eat meat and she misread the description. Another person sent back her child's burger because it had a sour smell. This guy comes out and approached the table stating "Yo, Yo, Yo, What's up?, What's the problem?". Â Everyone at the table was shocked and were a little confused. The person whom he stood by asked, "are you the manager". He stated, "yeah". He then went on to say he doesn't throw away food and he's not taking anything off the bill. When the burger was sent back we asked the waiter to replace it with chicken tenders. Eventually, he agreed to replace the burger as asked. Â After the food (chicken tenders) was served, I asked to speak back to the manager. When he arrived to the table, I introduced myself and informed him of his unprofessional manner. He never stated his name until I asked. Mr. Joe Stout began to apologize but then goes on re-stating he is not in the business of throwing food away. In so many words, Mr. Stout says if a customer orders something they don't like they have to eat it so he doesn't lose money. I have never heard of a manager speak to customers in such an unprofessional manner. I will not frequent the Dearborn location ever and the other 6 adults stated the same. ... and we only went because of a charity fundraiser
Review Source:Don't know why there are so many poor reviews, as I've been here close to 10 times and have never had a bad experience. It's BWW for pete's sake, so you must know what you're in for when you walk in. The wings are always great (boneless are my favorite), the beer is cheap, and there are approximately a kajillion TVs. The service is the same as anywhere else, and the ambience is sports and wings.
They also have WiFi, which is great when you want to get out of the office for an extended lunch but still get some work done. They have outlets at a lot of the booths, and have great lunch specials as well.
If I owned this Buffalo Wild Wings location I would be embarassed. Â Stopped by to support a charity lunch and had an awful experience. Â I'll list a few of the negatives below.
1.) Could not be seated at a normal table. Â Host said there would be a wait. Â After walking by, there were several open tables, most of which looked to be dirty...which leads me to point 2.
2.) Dirty tables and bar. Â The table next to us in the dining area was probably dirty from the previous party for about 30-40 minutes before being bused. Â At the main bar in the back, there was a fort of cups. Â Cups were literally stacked 6-8 high and 6-8 wide. Â Instead of refilling our drinks using the cups we had, the guy gave us new cups, of which they maybe had 4 remaining at the drink station after that.
3.) The wait. Â It took us an hour and a half to complete our lunch with no delay on our part. Â It took us about 10-15 minutes to see someone for a drink order, 10-15 more minutes before we ordered, 20 minutes to get the food, and 10-15 waiting for someone to offer to bring the bill after we ate, not to mention our drinks were empty for quite awhile before anyone asked about a refill. Â I'm not normally picky about service at a sports bar, but the receipts there actually have suggested tips laid out, which was funny since the service was far from "blazin'".
I can deal with a small wait for service of food if a place is hoppin' before a big game, but this was just lunch. Â The place was maybe at 75% capacity in terms of tables used, and there wasn't heavy drinking like you might see on a Friday or Saturday night.
P.S. The limit time sauce "Jammin Jalopeno" was garbage.
Hopefully they can hire some help here or get a manager than can run the place, but until then, I'd opt for Cheli's, Buddy's, or Bailey's down the street.
Most Yelp reviews are an attempt to influence people's point of view in trying a restaurant. This one, I'm asking Yelpers to help me out. Because I keep looking for buffalo wings that top B-Dubs in the Detroit Metro area. And I keep failing miserably--almost to the point where I'm not coming up with any other options.
Not that B-Dubs makes bad wings. On the contrary, this is the rare American chain restaurant that isn't afraid to launch a blistering inferno on our taste buds. The Blazin' sauce apparently comes in between 200,000 and 350,000 scoviles. And it comes with a nice balance of heat and vinegar flavor that makes it seem as your tastebuds are dancing as Nero fiddles away while your mouth burns. If all out heat isn't your thing, there are a dozen other flavors. I tend to go hot--I really like the Mango Habanero and the Hot when I'm not feeling like eating wings that will bring me to tears. But the Garlic Parmesan isn't a bad little sauce, if you want something a little cooler. In fact, the only sauce I'd stay away from is the Asian Zing, which makes your wings come across as mall Chinese food.
Albeit, B-Dubs comes complete with the pitfall that most American chain places have. The qualifications for landing a job there seems to be a two part test: Question 1: Can you walk? Question 2: Can you talk? Throw in low pay and what I can imagine are non-existent tips and you have all the ingredients for really bad service.
What you end up with is slightly better food than the average American chain restaurant with roughly the same service. It's not bad, but I'd still like to top it. I turn to you, my brothers in Yelp, to give me better suggestions.
Jake convinced me to come here after a visit to the Biergarten was a bust (there was no where to sit, bummer.) I wish he hadn't convinced me, but I thought it could be good.
The service was slow, because waitresses at Bdub's don't care about serving customers in a timely manner. We ordered drinks and the bartender looked like he wanted to gouge his eyes out with an ice pick.
Because the bartender was determining the best method of suicide, he completely ignored our drink order. We sat without drinks for about 10 minutes after our waitress took our order, then she finally showed up with drinks in hand. My "hurricane" was grenadine and pineapple juice... couldn't taste the liquor at all and I'm a total lightweight. I figured for $6.50, I'd get a little alcohol in my alcoholic beverage. My bad!
The wings also took about 15-20 minutes to get to us after ordering and there weren't many people in the place at all, maybe 4-5 tables total.
The wings were really great, I can't complain about the food at all. It's just literally everything else about Buffalo Wild Wings that sucks.
I happen to like Buffalo Wild Wings. Â Granted, I have testicles (I checked in the shower recently) and I like sports. Â The wings are ok, not the best I've ever had, but they get the job done. Â When it's snowing outside, for possibly the 10th day in a row, you have to go out and drown your sorrows with wings and beer.
I got myself 12 parmesan garlic wings and 12 asian zings. Â Normally, I would get 12 mango habaneros, but today I don't know what happened. Â The parmesan garlics are a little salty, so that's where beer or something to drink comes in handy. Â The 12 asian zings were a big mistake. Â They tasted like a crappy version of terryaki with a little bit of kick to it. Â I'll stick with the mango habaneros. Â I washed it all down with some Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Â If you like beer with a fruity aftertaste, go for it.
This is one of the smaller Buffalo Wild Wings that I've been to. Â I rolled in trying to escape the snow and was welcomed by a bartender who laughs like Mr. Belding from Saved By the Bell. Â Cool guy though. Â I must say this about Detroit. Â The city sucks, but the people are A-OK. Â I consulted with another patron who happened to have lived in Virginia at one point who recommended some strip joints where I can enjoy a fine T-Bone steak. Â Perhaps, I shall follow up on his recommendation. Â You can come in here and find someone to discuss with how the Detroit Lions should rebuild.
Parking sucks. Â There's a lot behind the place off of MIchigan Avenue that charges 50 cents an hour. Â Where I come from, we don't pay for parking. Â Where does this place think it is? Â New York?
If you have testicles and like sports, chances are you will like this place.
I hate this place with a deep seated passion. It all comes down to the fact that their wings suck. The sauces are blah and they have plenty to choose from. But the wings are just soggy and nasty. The teriyaki is quite possibly the most disgusting of all of them (and trust me, I have had most of the sauces).
Inedible and disgusting. Hooters, hot shorts and all, has better wings.
