After a long Sunday drive from Detroit in July, our party of eleven were hungry and tired. Â It was pouring down rain with thunder and lightning as we dash from the hotel to Buffalo Wild Wings in our ponchos. We had eleven, (six children under eleven), which I know is not any easy group to serve quickly, but we had been at their other chains in the past without a problem. Â We were greeted right away by the waiter. Â He brought us our drinks and took our order and then we waited and waited and waited some more. It was a whole hour before we were served, by then the kids were very upset and we were talking about leaving, when the food finally arrived. Â Won't ever go back!
Review Source:New business, I went there once a week when it opened. After it wasn't so new anymore the service went wayyyyyy downhill. I waited 35 minutes from when they gave me the check until when they picked up my money. They never came around to refill drink (bad, bad bad). I'm glad I didn't decide to go there on my lunch break that day and waited until after work. The price is meh--okay for your money, not good not bad.
Review Source:Coming back from Presque Isle along Lake Superior on a sunny Sunday in August, it was getting late. We were running on Central time in an Eastern time zone. Unfortunately, being in a town in the UP, things aren't open as late as we're used to seeing in our Chicago metro area. Plus everything was an hour ahead, so that dinner at 7 was more like a dinner at 8. Some of the places along the main street in Marquette were closed already.
Well hello Buffalo Wild Wings! It's not a tired chain and Marquette can definitely use it, right on the edge of town. It's on westbound US-41 in a place you can't miss, just off the road. The parking lot looks like it was carved out from the side of a mountain. A high cliff overlooks it. I was almost expecting a "falling rocks" sign in the parking lot.
Inside, it's like a sports bar & restaurant. Spacious, loud and definitely busy. Multiple TV's all over the room aired various baseball and NFL pre-season games taking place around. When up north, do as the northerners do. We picked a table near a Packers game in progress.
Despite the busy night, service was fast. My kids each got mac and cheese. We also got a basket of fries and I had a big burger. I can say both my kids probably ate some of the largest meals ever that night.
Everything was excellent, in short. I have nothing against a good chain place like this, coming into a town and providing a longer hours restaurant than most of the places in town.
And my kids loved a mural on the wall depicting a chicken strapped to a seat belt in a car. They insisted I take a picture of it, hence my review photo is included.
