Buffalo Wild Wings

Reviews & Tips

  My local Buffalo Wild Wings is better than most.  
  
  At least so far as the local beer selection goes.  I've never actually sampled the food.
  
  The bar manager at this location is committed to ensuring local brews remain always on tap.  Apparently, she is offered such freedom because this particular location is not "corporate."  
  
  This is not my choice location to imbibe.  But I appreciate this Buffalo Wild Wings' loyalty to the local beer scene.  
  
  Tonight, I have selected the award winning Vienna Lager from Devil's Backbone (Lexington, VA)...
  
  ...and equally delicious Fred Red from a brewery here in my home town, Blue & Gray Brewing (Fredericksburg, VA).  
  
  Other choices on tap: Legend's Brown Ale (Richmond, VA), 8-Point (Devil's Backbone's IPA), the Gift by Starr Hill (Crozet, VA), and another by Starr Hill, the Love.  
  
  These are all quality beers.  Those from Devil's Backbone are especially noted, as the brewer has been recognized this year by the Great American Beer Fest as the Small Brewer & Beerpub of the Year.  
  
  The Buffalo Wild Wings in my neighborhood is not a tap room.  Let's be real.  Of the 20 taps, only the few noted would not invoke the rised nose of the craft beer enthusiast.  And, to no surprise, the beer is served much too cold.
  
  But it is a cheap alternative.  On Mondays, they offer all local beers at half price, and on Wednesday nights, all pints (locals included) are two bucks.
  
  And, for what is worth, the staff is friendly and attentive.  
  
  My local Buffalo Wild Wings is one of those places I'd describe as "solid."  Overperforms the other franchise entities in the area, but is far from boutique status.  
  
  I'd take a beer-lover visiting Fredericksburg to the Capital Ale House, the Blue and Gray brewpub, or even the 909 Saloon.  If up for some brief travel? Then to Legend's Brewpub in Richmond or, as my first choice, Churchkey in Washington, D.C.
  
  All, of course, are more suited for the enthusiasts than Buffalo Wild Wings.  
  
  But, for me?  This place serves a purpose.  And I appreciate it for that.

  This place is great. We love the wings and they have all the sports you could want. It's a little expensive for bar food but the beer selection is good

  What a horrible restaurant! Food was gross & service was slow. I'd skip it, if I were you!

  The wings were mediocre at best & the burger was edible but not much more than that. It's a shame that a restaurant specializing in wings is dishing up utterly forgettable wings. Perhaps they expect their patrons to be too engrossed in the sports being broadcast from TVs in every angle of the dining room to notice?
  
  If it's good wings you're looking for go to Pizza Hut instead. Isn't it crazy that a chain pizza place serves far better wings?

  It's wings and beer.  Hot wings, cold beer.  All good!
  Mango Habenero is my fav.

  This is a great place to watch NFL football.
  
  They have multiple HD Plasmas and they will find your game for you.
  Their service is great and the food is really good.
  
  They have an unparralled selection of wings and sauces.
  Their burgers are decent and they have sweet tea!
