I've been to quite a few BWW locations and the wings, both boneless and traditional, have been overall good when dining in. Â Always plenty of sauce on the wings.
Anywho, came here on a Saturday to meet some friends with my fiancee. We ordered mojitos to start off and our waitress told us they didnt have any mint leaves. Â No big deal, so she brought us our drinks. Â My fiancee had the original and it was super sour. When I tried it, the lemon taste was way too powerful. Â I had ordered the strawberry lime one. Â This one was not as sour but there was no alcohol. Â I didnt finish it and switched to beer. Â For food, we split the sampler and everything was really good. Â By far, one of the best onion rings I've ever had.
I never know how to rate a Buffalo Wild Wings...they are clones of one another... everything is exactly the same, so they all blur together for me. Â When I think of BWW I think of greasy food, alcohol and sports. Â That sums up every location. Â The servers are just okay and tend to disappear for a while. Â I like going on Mondays when they have 60 cent boneless buffalo wings. Â I also have to order the fried pickles every time I go!
Review Source:Stopped in for their Tuesday traditional wing deal on New Years Day, and to our surprise, the place was empty (maybe people were still hungover)?
Well my fiance and I ordered the following:
- Fried pickles
- Buffalo chips w/ queso
- 6 lemon pepper wings
- 6 chipotle bbq wings
- 6 mild
- 6 honey bbq
The fried pickles were heavily breaded, not as good as Hooters. My fiance loves the buffalo chips, though i wasnt impressed. They are thickly sliced potatoes with no seasoning or crunch.
The lemon pepper and chipotle bbq wings were dry rubbed items from their limited time menu. They were not anything special. I like my wings wet and moist. The honey bbq wings were the best as the mild sauce tasted too strong.
The reason for the 2 star is not only due to unimpressive food, but service. Our server Emilie was incrediblely slow. We had to flag her down to give us the check, then she went to another table to chat with people. We waited 15 minutes for her to come back and pick up the check, and she only came because we flagged her down again. Right after she dropped off our receipts, she went right back to talking to the other table. She didnt say one word to us.
Walking out, the guy at the take out window saw that we were carrying 2 boxes of leftovers and asked if we wanted a bag. Something that our terrible waitress should have provided.
BWW is not worth the cost for the food. I could make better wings for 1/4 of the prices they charge.
I have been on a wings kick lately so I hit up both BWW and Hooters in the past week. Â In my opinion, the wings here at BWW do not hold a candle to the ones at Hooters. Â
I ordered the 'hot' wings and they were definitely spicy, the sauce itself was good. Â I even asked my waitress for additional celery and ranch dressing which she provided at no charge.
However, the wings had no crunch to them (possibly due to being drowned in the sauce) and were dry and chewy.
I'll drive a bit and go to Hooters the next time I need a wings fix.
After driving around and going to 3 other restaurants with over an hour wait, we ventured here, since despite all their locations, I have never been here to try their wings. Â We got a table right away, no waiting!! Â We first ordered the roasted garlic mushrooms which were fried in batter. Â Well, when the order arrived, there was about 18 tiny pieces, pieces! , not whole mushrooms. Â If I didn't know better, I'd say the server spilt 1/2 the order on the way to deliver them to us! Â I had to pull apart the batter to make sure it was really a mushroom and if anything was in there, all for $5.79, skip it as you skip this place. Â Of the 6 wing order, 5 were very very dry on the outside, one had a semblance of juice. Â I ordered 2 sauces, so the wings came dry. Â Both sauces, the spicy garlic and med bbq had similar heat and it was hard to tell the difference. Â The chicken wraps were average, but you can do much much better elsewhere. Â It was noisy, tvs wall to wall and full of yelling kids. Â If you enjoy this environment, this is the place for you! Â Cant believe people go here, kids don't know any better, but families?? Â May be ok during a football game or something tho.
Review Source:Went here with a group and the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. no pun.
The moment I walked in I wanted to leave. It was loud, over crowded and dirty.
The vibe in the place is just not good at all. We did have a larger party, but the service took forever. I was happy they had the naked tenders, but they weren't great. Â None of the sauces I tried were very impressive.
I honestly can't believe so many people love going there!
Bad vibe + slow service + mediocre wings = 1 star
YUCK, YUCK, YUCK - this had to be the most disgusting meal I have EVER had and the service was TERRIBLE.  Started by being seated by a 15 year old host with no manners at all - really people??  Then place was PACKED with kids baseball teams - way too noisy - after waiting more than 30 minutes for our meals, my chicken was raw  and my husband's mini burgers were over cooked - this place was DISGUSTING and DIRTY - we should have left as soon as we walked in the door - we will never be back, and will make sure our friends and family know of the HORRIBLE first and LAST experience we had.  P.S.  I didn't go into the bathrooms, but my husband said the men's room was gross and dirty!!
Review Source:Just ate there (3/25/2012), first time dining in. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE service. Server: Emily. Manager: Ryan.
Took our order. Nachos came fine, then it started. Ran out of soda, she said she'd get one for me and never saw again for a long while. Wings came, but not the kids meals (mac and cheese and mini corn dogs). Waited, and waited, now there are NO servers around to ask. Where are they? Found one and asked, then she said she'd send the manager.
Emily comes and has to RE-TAKE the kids orders. Why didn't she know what it was? Didn't she take it down? Clearly not.
Ryan the Manager comes and we explain, the wings are now cold waiting for the kids meals, still waiting on refills. He says he'll take care of it and adjust the bill too. More waiting. Seriously? It's mac and cheese and mini corn dogs. I assume they aren't dipping the corn dogs in batter making it from scratch, so it's probably something you just heat up, and mac and cheese?
Finally food comes, still short one apple juice for the kids. Ryan says he'll talk the kids meals off the bill. We eat. She comes back. "Are you all full now? Is everything all fixed?" Who says, "Are you all full now?"
Boxes and the bill. More waiting. Do we pay her or at the register. F it, done waiting. Get the family and pay at register. Now told nobody can ring us up but her. Are you serious?! We just want to get the heck out of here. Please! About 5 workers standing in awe and NONE can help. All just looking confused. No initiative, like there is some secret code that only she can enter in the register that will allow us to be released from being held captive there. I say, please, can you just get Ryan and have him take care of this so we can leave already. She shows up and rings us out. No tip. Were you seriously expecting one? Should anyone after being treated like that?
FIRST time eating in, last time too. Ordered take out before and seriously, it's hit or miss that they get the order right. Love the wings, hate the service, both take out and now for sure sit in. Sorry, nothing personal, this is just the truth about the experience and oops social media makes it possible to tell others so they are aware and can make their own choice about it too.
Last things: she never brought the extra coloring sheets she said she would for the kids and the audio was of an interview on 20/20. Why not of any of the dozens of other sports going on? No, instead there is a blaring interview or something on 20/20 as the audio. Totally weird place I tell ya!
I love the BW3 chain because they have consistently good traditional and boneless chicken wings and have a very wide variety of sauces from "wimp" to "insane" and every flavor combination in between. While I very much enjoy the chicken wings here, I will avoid superlatives because they can be kind of skimpy on meat and the breading on the boneless wings can be heavy. Other items on the menu are good as well, although I don't often order anything other than wings. Honorable mention goes to the "flatbreads" which are a pizza like creation with anything but a pizza like topping. It is a "sports bar" so it can be busy during pay-per-view type events. I sure wish they would still sell "wecks" (as in kimmelweck) because they sound like tasty sandwiches.
Since this is a chain, I will say that I used to work near this location and would visit regularly. The service here is always good and have always had a pleasant experience.
This is my go-to of BWW. Â It is close (ish) to my house and has good food. Â It is always busy, but that also says something for it's quality and service! Â Plus, if you check in on Scavenger, and you do enough activities, you can earn free wings!
Last night, my sister picked up food for us "to go". Â They checked everything before it was in the bag, and we were good to go. Â they got everything correct (which is hard to do in our case, sometimes!) but...
...they forgot napkins and forks. Â And we were eating at a place that didn't have either. Â So we had no napkins for our wings (messy city!) and my salad was turned into a finger food. Â NOT ATTRACTIVE!
But it tasted good all the same!
I've only been here during the day. It is usually a before or after stop when I hit cabella's and the gun range.
The beer selection is always great. They have all kinds of things on tap.
The service is sketchy but i think all of them are like this. I have never been there for a game or anything else so my review is a bit limited. It's nothing more special than any other b-dubs.
So, what's your favorite food? For me, wings are number one and it's because of Buffalo Wild Wings. I love this place so much that we had our rehearsal dinner specifically at this location, no joke.
The Hoffman Estates location rocks. The General Manager, Jay, and his staff do an excellent job of maintaining quality and outstanding service. Ask for Melinda, she has been waiting on us for the past couple of years and is phenomenal. It is because of their excellent service in addition to finger lickin' wings that keeps us coming back week after week.
In terms of the sauces, I alternate between the Caribbean jerk, spicy BBQ, parmesan garlic, and mango habanero. You can ask for your wings to be crispy or saucy depending on how you like them. We often come on Tuesday nights for the $.45 wing deal but can't help when the craving calls and end up coming on random days of the week. Heads up, this place gets packed on game nights.
There are other places in the city for wings but for me, they can't beat Buffalo Wild Wings.
A friend and I decided that BWWW's was an appropriate venue to watch Game 7 of the NBA Finals, my Lakers versus his (well, not really his teas as he's a Hornets fan, it is just not the Lakers) Celtics. There's plenty of parking in the private lot, but getting in the front door was a challenge, even though we were there 45 minutes before the opening tip.
Thankfully they have a patio area which has an unlocked side door on the east side of the building. If you're like us and only wanted a seat at the bar and didn't need to be seated by the host, this was unquestionably the quicker way in. We parked ourselves at the bar without much fuss. The rest of the booths were filling up quickly, as is the case at BWWW's for major sporting events.
Our bartender was friendly and attentive, plus he made a very tasty Bloody Mary. It wasn't as good as a fresh mix from scratch, but not bad from a pre-mix bottle. The turkey burger I had was a little dry, but did come with a healthy portion of fries.
In all, we enjoyed ourselves (of course, I did more, as the Lakers took home another championship and I won my $100 bet with my buddy), but weren't blown away either. There's only a few stalls in the bathroom considering the size of the place, so make sure to pay a visit during a commercial break, as sometimes lines will form.
Not too good. Â I started off with the fried pickles which were horrendous. Â They looked like they were dropped into 800 degree oil and scorched. Â The breading was crispy, burnt and the inside pickle was melted and barely there. Â I then ordered boneless wings with hot and chipotle sauces, but received a cup of powder instead. Â I later found out that it was called flavor dust, and to me, it looked like the base to their sauces. Â I asked the waitress for the sauce instead and she brought me another cup of powder. Â I was not very happy with the flavor or consistency.
Service was slow and the staff were laughing and fooling around in the kitchen the whole time I was there. Â I definitely didn't enjoy the food or atmosphere at this location and most likely won't be back.
I am a huge fan of most BWW in the Chicagoland area. This one however is very subpar.
I placed an order that was going to be picked up, I was put on hold with no indication. Then a very rude lady picked up and asked for my order. I gave it and at the end she said "It'll be ready in 10 or something." and hung up. Picking up the food was a struggle also. We asked for wet naps and extra ranch and received neither.
Overall, my suggestion is finding another BWW as I'm sure it's better than the service you'll find here.
The wings here are why you need to come to this place.
I hang out here a lot because its the only place that is open to 2am on weekends and the food is good, servers are attentive and the atmosphere is what you expect from a late-night wing serving bar. The only annoying thing is the music but that depends on who pays to set it up and sometimes those songs should never come upon someones ears.
Overall, this Bdubs is open late and a great place to hangout after work.
In my opinion, this place is for suckers. Â There are MUCH better wing places out there, as long as you don't care about the fact that they don't carry 40,000 different flavors of sauce. Â But outside of the sauce, I don't feel like there's enough meat on the wings and they always feel a little overcooked.
But I have to give them props, their lunchtime specials (wraps, mini burgers) are pretty good deals and I've never had problems with service from 12-1. Â It's only when I go during happy hour -- when everybody and their mother comes here and they never have enough servers. Â And I mean "everybody and their mother" because I've never gone here and NOT tripped over a high chair.
Extra star for the fact that there's not  a single spot on the wall that DOESN'T contain a TV.
It's pretty chilly in this BWW, but the food is consistent with all the other ones I've been to. They were a little unclear about charging for ranch, blue cheese, and celery on a special wing night (I felt like they should have said that beforehand), but they are a chain so you get what you expect.
Review Source:Not really a fan of sports bars or the usual bar fare of deep fried foods.
Decided to check out Buffalo Wild Wings because I heard they have a wide variety of sauces for their wings. One particular sauce (BLAZING) caught my attention! I love spicy food.
I ended up having an order of the boneless chicken wings, with a side of blazing sauce, and the mango habanero sauce. I love the mango habanero sauce, Â it had just the perfect kick to it. The blazing was good but way too spicy for my tastes.
I love this BDubs!
It's pretty large and lots of TVs. I always go here during football season. I love Tuesdays and Thursdays when they have their chicken specials also. I gave it 4 stars because the hosts are very slow. One day I waited 10 minutes for a table and they let someone in right before me even tho they were in line behind me. Your apology doesn't count dammit! I want booze and wings!!!
I think it's sad when, my favorite part about a restaurant/bar/pub is it's logo.
I have been to a few different BWW and went back just recently and can't say that I love this place. Like might even be a strong word. I really do like the concept, and the logo, but the reality doesn't seem to match up with my expectations.
The multitude of sauces that I can try is great in theory, but not so great in practice. The hot sauces are hot, they make me sweat and tear up a little bit, but they are not hot sauces with depth. The just seem to burn the heck out of my mouth. (Not to self: go to BWW wing I have a cold, maybe it will burn it out of my sinuses) I want a hot sauce that's hot, but that also has great flavor. Ok, next the flavored sauces: I feel they are also a bit lacking in depth. Don't get me wrong they are not bad by any means, for a chain restaurant I am impressed. But I am also always looking for more. i think I had an Asian Zing (or maybe fling?) and perhaps a teriyaki for the wings....not bad but some of the flavors I thought were a bit to headstrong. Then again..... I am talking about Buffalo wings here, and not some haute cuisine so maybe I need to moderate my language.
Service was great at this place, fast, and friendly (I find more and more that service is a key factor in evaluating an establishment, maybe even 50% of my vote).
Will I come back? Yes, it's a social palace, and has a good service. Maybe i also need to try some more things off their menu too.
They sell wings and all things fried.
This is a great location to go and watch UFC fights. It's loud, the people cheer along and you don't have to pay for the PPV yourself. You can sit and eat wings, drink beer and yell at the tvs without anyone really judging you.
However, when looking at this place from a food quality and caliber of restaurant it could still be a stretch to give them an a-ok. The service is always sarcastic (in the impatient, not so nice way...not the fun playful way) and spotty.
It's what you'd expect. Deep fried chicken coated in your choice of dipping sauce. The options for healthier fare are limited if not non-existent. But you don't come here to watch your waistline. You come here to eat out of a paper tub and clean your hands with wet naps.
For a place to hang out with friends, have a quick meal this place is a-ok. If you're looking at this place for fine dining then I'd question you before questioning the restaurant.
I have a like-hate relationship with BW3's.
Their signature product is wings, so I thought I'd be rewarded by touring their line of barbecue and hot sauces, but I find their sauces to be completely one dimensional. I haven't found a BBQ sauce I like. I haven't liked garlic and parmesan, or any of the creamier sauces.
So... is it because of the sauces, or the wings? Well, after repeated visits, I've decided it's the wings -- the boneless ones have too much breading, not enough chicken, occasionally really dry. The bone-in ones are the better choice.
But I've settled on the chicken tenders, which also have far too much breading but at least keep the chicken moist, and sometimes, I actually like the crunch. And whatever sauce I've had with these has been better.
So it goes. I'll just get glorified chicken tenders off your menu, and the Asian Zing and Carribean Jerk sauces, in exchange for everyone I work with insisting on coming here most Thursdays in the year.
I was a bit skeptical about this place being a hardcore vegetarian. But, my bf(f) convinced me that I would love it. Boy was he right! From the awesome variety in hot sauces, to the veggie burger, and delish fries, I loved it all. Jager bombs were also a fun addition to our meal. I will definitely be going back!! mmmmmmmmm
p.s. It's a sports bar...so, YES, they have TVs playing every which game you can think of (for the guys, or gals that are into ESPN)!
Most of the food is just ok, but I'm a sucker for good onion rings. Â So far, they have the best ones I've found in this area.
Normally we try to get here around 11-11:30am for lunch or around 3-4 pm for dinner just to avoid the crowds. Â It works pretty well for us.
My wife usually gets the naked chicken strips and I get either a buffalo chicken sandwich or pulled pork sandwich. Â We share a basket of onion rings. Â Love the spicy ranch dipping sauce for the rings! Â Again, the sandwiches are just ok.
An extra star just for the onion rings!
This restaurant has a great location and a huge parking lot - the building is newer but I wasn't crazy about the layout of the restaurant itself. Its a pain to get to / from the entry or the bathrooms all the way to the bar. The wings were just OK but they did offer a ridiculous amount of sauces. I had the mini chicken burgers which were once again just OK. This place is very "sports bar-ish" but filled with mainly couples and families. The service was alright too.
Review Source:The location of this place is great and there is endless parking. However, this place gets outrageously crowded and I have to say that I was not pleased with the endless interruptions of the hawks games audio to here that its "stacy's party of 5, last call for seating".
The service, other than the intercom, was pretty good. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is nothing special. This place is a decent place to watch game but not the most exciting.
My hubby drags me here at least 2 times a week. Â What is it with guys and wings??? Â I think they put some kinda crack in the sauce that has an effect on male hormones.
The place is always packed with families & teenagers.. which is a little different from other BW3's, but there really aren't many restaurants in the area yet (new mall opening soon, yay!), so it's the spot to go by default. Â Doesn't bother me, but giving ya a heads up anyways.. it's not necessarily a bad thing, depends on if you're going there to eat, or to get plastered.
As mentioned in a previous review, Buffalo Wild Wings is at the edge of town for people living in Schaumburg. Â The atmosphere is very crowded and not somewhere I'd call clean. Â Even when the place is empty late at night, there are so many tables packed into the seating area that it seems difficult to walk through the place. Â Music is really loud, but they usually turn it down (or maybe off?) when a premier game is on.
I'd stopped in for a beer at the bar several times before I actually ate in the restaurant, but I'm glad I finally tried the food. Â While the tap selection is decently large (Fat Tire, etc), the hot sauce selection was the most impressive thing for me. Â The wings were really excellent, I tried three varieties including the Habanero Mango. Â I'm curious to taste the hottest sauce on the menu, because the Habanero (third to hottest) didn't really heat me up like actual habanero salsas -- but it was still delicious.
I could imagine service being a disaster here because the table layout feels so unorganized, but our server was attentive. Â Wings come in cardboard bowl/plates, which is fine for me but figured that it should be mentioned. Â Regardless, the wings were great and the beer selection is large enough to keep me coming back.
I don't know what the other guy was talking about. I like BWW and come here often.
Service is just ok, what do you expect from a wings joint? Yes, servers are mostly dudes. Go to Hooters if you expect your server to be a chick.
Wings are decent, beer is good. I like the naked tenders wrap and variety of sauces. I agree it's a drive from Woodfield, but it's also far from the assholes who've been shopping at Woodfield all day.
Gets crazy loud on sports-events night (especially cubs and illini games), but I like the NTN trivia and boneless wings nights. Wings come in paper containers, wipes at the table for your fingers. Sauces, celery, and extra dips are extra. (Like the 40 cents will kill you.)
Decent beer, food, and NTN. Go in expecting it to be a super snazzy place, you will be disappointed. But if you have realistic expectations, you should be ok.
They also do carry out. Bonus!
If you are driving out here from Woodfield, its fucking far. Â Take the expressway. Â Don't listen to your goofy friend, saying, its nice outside, just take local.
Plenty of parking. Â Its located in the parking lot of a big ass strip mall. Â
Completely opposite of Skokie, more dude servers?? Â And there were lots more dude customers and hardly any women. Â Why three stars? Â Oh yea.. the food which is standard. Â AND BIG BUCK HUNTER PRO!! Â (Its not online yet)
Beers and Deers bitches!! Â Too bad they put the friggin' machine right behind a table and next to the darts. Â IF anyone sits at that table, you are S.O.L. Â WTF? Â
I drove out here only to play that game, I talk to the bartender. Â Cool guy, moved the machine over for us. Â Manager comes by later on... Â says some dumb shit to me like, "YOU can't have this machine twisted like this. Â This time is OK, but next time, I'll have to put my foot down." Â How about you stick it in your ass, buddy. Â I didn't move the machine. Â Nor was I the tardo that chose to place this machine in a tight area. Â Move that damn golf cart somewhere else!!
BTW, dude looked like he'd already slammed one to many 23oz.s
