$1.25 per wing?!!! Â I love BWW traditional wings, however prices have skyrocketed at this location (and franchise-wide) in the past 6-8 months. Â On any day besides Tues, traditional wings are now running about $1.00-$1.25/per wing for orders of 5, 10, or 15 wings. Â Tues .40 cent wing night went up to .60 per wing. Â A recent carryout order of thirty traditional wings in several flavors cost me $37 at this location. Â Also, when you call to make a carryout order, this location often puts you on hold for quite a while. Â I have definitely called as I was leaving my house and been almost to the restuarant by the time they take me off hold and finish taking my order. Â Call 30 minutes in advance for a carryout order.
Review Source:My wife and I had seen this place many times before. We love to go into this area and eat at ling and Louie's.
So today, we decided to head in to see what they had. After all, it looked nice enough form the outside.
Well, you cant judge a book by its cover. This saying works just as well for things  not looking good, that actually are good on the inside, as it does for things that look appealing on the outside, but on the inside are nasty.
When we entered, we found that this is a sports bar. This should have been our first clue to just walk away. I have yet to find a sports bar in Boise that is any good.
This place in no exception.
Walking in, every space on every wall is filled with TVs. Small TVs, large TVs, and mid sized TV's.
This made for a weird deco. Most every TV was turned to a different sports channel. So it was impossible to watch one and not be distracted by the two next to the one you were trying to watch.
We were sat in a booth right by the greeter station. Since this was a sports bar, we expected noise and people being rambunctious.
What we did not expect was that the noise and rambunctious would come from the staff that worked there.
The staff all stood around the greeter station and yapped. They yapped and yapped and yapped the entire time we were there.
It was like being in a room with a bunch of teenagers having a slumber party. It was that annoying.
Then came the food. My wife had a hamburger. The hamburger was bland and tasteless. It was a flattop burger and not even a good one. I have had better burgers from McDonalds.
I had the boneless wings. I chose 2 sauces. The 1st one was the Asian. The second one was habanero/mango.
The Asian was supposed to be infused with Ginger and Garlic. The flavor of the sauce was bad. I could not taste any ginger or garlic. It was just plain not good.
The Habanero/Mango was hot. But thats it. It was just hot. No flavor at all and certainly not mango.
The last thing was the fries. Flat, overly salty and flavorless.
When we got our Check, we noticed one more issue, which made us flaming mad. My wife had asked for Mayo, Mustard, and ketchup on her hamburger.
On our Check, we noticed that this joke of a place actually charged us for Mayo. Really! Are you kidding me? I have never been charged extra for mayo before.
This place will never see my business again.
We wont be back and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
BWW is festive and fun inside. They also have an outside deck. It is quite noise. Lots of television sets playing sports TV - golf, soccer, basketball, polo, swimming, and drag racing when I visited them a second time with my son.
My burger had a large piece of a plastic bag in it. The server explained it was from the BBQ sauce most likely, or else the add-on steak bits they put on it. Â
They didn't even comp me my meal. I asked for free dessert or anything, and was denied. Â
If this server, who was friendly and kind all things considered, worked for me, I would have shown him the door for not escalating the issue to me as his manager. Bad for business.
I went to use the restroom before I left, and discovered that they have 2 urinals and one toilet stall within the men's bathroom. Â WHAT?!? Â For a restaurant of that size, you'd think they'd have 3 toilet stalls at least. I waited for 3 songs on the radio, or roughly 9 minutes, to use the toilet. Ridiculous. All the while my young child was out there waiting for me to get back to my table.
I will not be back a third time, and I advise you to avoid this place as well.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. Â I have been to a few different Buffalo Wild Wings locations and have never been disappointed. Â I love their traditional wings. Â And Wing Tuesday makes them that much better.
The atmosphere is great with all the big screen TVs. Â It may be a little loud, but it is not overwhelming. Â It is especially awesome on UFC fight nights when the place is packed and everyone is cheering for their favorite fighter. Â
I always get great service and great food and beverages here.
I guess I am just not a fan of Buffalo Wild Wings no matter where it is located. I feel like the food is just average, nothing spectacular. Especially now knowing they get their chicken from Tyson. I felt the server lacked social skills. My boyfriend got the boneless wings which were not that good. I felt like I was eating in a school room cafeteria to be honest. I would rather eat at a different restaurant and from now on I will.
Review Source:This was our first visit and I wasn't real impressed. Husband had the honey BBQ bacon burger and the patty tasted frozen. I had the grilled chicken wrap which was not bad but it wasn't the best quality either. It was just a step above fast food. The patio is nice but the music was blaring with bad 80's music right over our heads. There wasn't anywhere you could sit on the patio to get away from it. Â We won't be going back.
Review Source:My husband decided he wanted to give this place a try today in the middle of our boys' nap. Â The staff was friendly and accommodating, and our server Kendra was great. Â Very patient. Â She even had the foresight to bring extra straws without being asked so we were prepared when the boys accidentally pulled theirs out of their chocolate milk and dropped them. Â
As for the food, my husband noted that while the wings were made correctly, their medium would be the equivalent of mild wings in Buffalo. Â My step-daughter had the sweet barbeque. Â I, of course, ordered something unrelated. Â The pulled pork slammers looked so good, I just had to try them. Â I had them with the honey BBQ sauce, which was tasty with an unexpected kick. Â Our boys had chicken tenders, which were okay. Â The fries are great. Â Crispy, flavorful and not particularly greasy. Â
I also had a couple of Captain 'n Cokes. Â Not only were the servings more generous than similar establishments, but the bartender was also fairly generous with the rum. Â
Definitely not a place for the health-conscious, but pretty nice for a sports bar and grill, and the service sets it above the average chain.
Back today for lunch; same co-worker, and a guest. This time I had the "boneless" wings. Better choice...I didn't expect excellent bone-in wings like I did last time, so I wasn't disappointed. Same waiter, same BOGO, same prices, same issues, but I can now say, if you go here, get the boneless wings and you'll be OK.
Review Source:One of the only few places in town that are opened late with decent food. Been here many times and have had really good service even with big tables but not tonight. Waitress made about six mistakes. Â That is not typical but one thing I have come to realize is it's always loud in there. It's hard to carry on a conversation. Other than that the service is typically good with good discounts on food and open late. They have discounted bone in wings on Tuesday's for $.40 each and $.60 for boneless wings on Thursdays. During the week after 9 pm you get buy one appetizer and get one free. With all that said BWW is a fun place to hang out. They have tons of TV's for all your favorite sporting events. Garlic Parmesan wings and Asian Zing wings are really good. Try them out.
Review Source:Here's my breakdown of BWW for you in stars.
One Star- Open Late even durning the week
One Star- Late Night Happy Hour
One Star- Cheap
But other then that, I was NOT impressed. The drinks were all juice when I swear I asked for a VODKA and cranberry. The service was all right. The whole experience was ah for me. Especially for the drive.
What a disappointment! Â The service was awful, the wings were mediocre, the atmosphere was fab though if you are looking for a casual sports bar setting. Â We started with a beer and everything was going fine until our food came. Â It is served in paper baskets, no silverware, no plates and no server to be found. Â By the time we did get ONLY silverware our wings were hard, gross and cold. Â Ordered another round of beers and it took two trips and a new server each time. Â Really don't think I will be going back.
Review Source:I was driving through town on a Tuesday night and thought to myself, man that town is peaceful and quiet that night. Â Stopped in Buffalo Wild Wings in Meridian and found out why it was so quiet. Â EVERYONE IN TOWN was at Buffalo Wild Wings for .40 cent wing night! Â The energy was amazing! Â Idaho is known for having some of the friendliest residents in the country and I guess on Tuesday nights they all gather at this Buffalo Wild Wings to have some fun. Â And the cool thing is, they welcome strangers right into the mix! Â I travel all the time and go to BWW's whenever I find one because I enjoy the energy they generate and this one tops the list!
Its a must for anyone who is looking for an experience when they spend their money! Â Now its probably not the best place if your a foodie as it is bar food. Â Great bar food with 14 sauces I must admit since you can put any of their sauces on any of the menu items, but definitely not meant for foodies! Â Its good for those folks who want to loosen up, laugh a lot with friends with every sporting event available on like 50 big screens going in the background. Â Its great for folks who want to experience Idaho hospitality at its finest. Â The staff and the customers are all some of the friendliest folks I've ever had the pleasure of dining out with!
Just ok, it really has never been that great or anything just some place to go get a beer with the guys. The wait there is pretty silly, 5 or so mins for a beer and 20+ for wings. I only go there when Brewforia is busy to get some beers and play trivia or poker. Find a new sports bar IMO
Review Source:Pros: good beer, three-million wing sauces and the namesake wings are tasty, friendly service, good wings, 500 huge tv's playing football. Cons: fries are just meh. In summary, a great place to watch the game but not your figure. Would go again if I've been getting plenty of exercise.
Review Source:A whole industry seems to have sprung up selling waste chicken parts for absurdly high prices, out of cavernously obnoxious plebeian beer-hall type places overrun with TV's set to endlessly blaring "sports" events and commentatings, and served by boorish fat guys in T-shirts or girls who've never worked in a restaurant before but got hired for having oversized udders they're willing to stick in your face.
Lovely.
I'll be back there in... Â somewhere around...
Yeesh.
.
Ehh...?
That's kind of what I end up thinking as I leave Buffalo Wild Wings. I've been here about 3 times and every time it's been JUST ok.
The first visit, it took me (and I timed it) 45 minutes to get a beer and our server told me 3 times it was "On it's way." Ok, it takes 1 minute to pour a beer...what's with the other 44? By the time I got it, I didn't even feel like paying the 5 or so bucks for it. Got a salad and the chicken seemed undercooked and lukewarm, not a good start for a wings place.
Second and third visit, our food has just been ok. Absolutely nothing to write home about, or even crave on a later date. My boyfriend hates it here and I end up just getting a side salad every time we meet friends here, because I know it won't get messed up or be mis-cooked. NEver a good experience and we don't go here by choice.
I use to be a huge fan of Buffalo Wild Wings but then after eating here so much its become just an a-ok place to eat at. Â I always end up eating here if I can't decide on where to eat.
The environment is good and the workers are really friendly. Â However, there was one waiter who said I looked like his friend whom is a guy. Â Hmmm...thanks for saying I look like a guy? Â Rude much? Â Yeah, I don't see him working there anymore so I'm glad. Â He even forgot to give us back our card after he charged it.
The only thing I really like about this place is their boneless wings. Â The sauces are alright. Â I would recommend everyone to try it out at least once.
I have visited both locations and think Nampa have the best management by far. I was among the guests to get a free meal and take 3 friends along the day before they opened when they did their trial run. One thing to say about that why invite people in and then have no type of feedback survey or card what's the point?
Cons: every time I have gone in unless I get wings my order was wrong,wait time is always pretty long too. Every sandwch I have tried has been gross sorry its true! Stick to what u do best WINGS or fix the menu.music can be way too loud
Pros; love the wings  Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings yum! They have specials tues and thurs
Will go back when I am cravin wings but won't eat any of the other menu items
I'm going to preface this review by admitting that it's not fair. It wouldn't be fair to go to a taco truck and complain about the lack of china and it's probably not fair to walk into a chain sports bar and complain about freshness and quality of ingredients. I'm still going to do it.
Buffalo Wild Wings is one of those gigantic restaurants with gigantic TV's and gigantic menus, where the food is served up in a little plastic basket by a friendly but simple blonde girl who you can never really differentiate from her friendly but simple blonde girl coworkers. I knew what I was getting myself into.
I ordered a Honey BBQ Chicken Burger with fries and a diet coke. Simple enough. Prices on the food weren't bad, but I think all the drinks were $7-8. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I think I was hoping it would be grubbin' enough that I wouldn't feel disgusted with myself for at least a couple hours after the meal. No such luck. My friendly but simple blonde waitress brought out my meal and the disgust feeling settled in pretty much instantaneously. Â Laying unceremoniously on top of a gigantic untoasted kaiser roll covered with a gigantic heaping of of shredded iceburg lettuce was an anemic little saline-injected piece of chicken, all glossy with some not-so-mouthwatering "BBQ" sauce. Normally I would complain about the meat in my sandwich being a third of the size of it's bun, but in this case it was a relief; less to eat.
After my meal my waitress asked me if I would like a box for the torn up leftover piece of bun. Um, no, that's okay. I was hoping that she would remove the finished plate but no luck there, either. It sat under my nose, taunting me with it's grossness, while I waited for my bill. My stomach rebelled and I almost lost the meal I worked so hard to force down in the first place.
If you're craving a burger and you're stuck in traffic on Eagle, I would recommend trying out Wild Wing's neighbor, Smashburger, instead. The setting is a little more fast food, but they really seem to care about the quality of what they send out, and you'll get it at a much cheaper price.
if i could give this place a 3.5 i would.
I used to have a b-dubs when i was attending university in Virginia. Â Although i thoroughly enjoy their buffalo wings, this place doesnt stand up in comparison to other b-dubs i have frequented:
-the wings come in a huge range of sizes, some are very tiny, some are normal. Â its definitely a buzzkill for how expensive this place is (beer and 18 wings is about 25 dollars, im a fatty)
-the range sauces vary, some days its super saucey and hence super spicy, other days its so under-sauced that the spicest sauce barely affects the mouth.
-server staff is very inexperienced, i know its a little nitpickky, but everytime i have been there, there has been some kind of screw up, or watched some waiter drop a tray. Â that being said, i dont mind, i just feel bad for the waiters sometimes, they may be understaffed.
all this being said, i still go back because the wings here are better than the rest of anythign in the boise/eagle. Â if you can handle the problems associated with a new restaurant, you should definitely hit this place up.
after their processes get streamlined, its a winner.
The first Idaho location of Buffalo Wild Wings is now open in Meridian next to St. Luke's hospital that is earning a lot of buzz! Buffalo Wild Wings at 3223 E. Louise Drive is part of a chain that started years ago back in Minnesota and is purported to be one of the fastest growing restaurants in the United States. We arrived towards the end of the lunch hour and found the place hopping with lots of young people playing poker and trivia on hand held devices. It was a Tuesday which we learned was "Wild Wing Day" with .45 cent wings all day long. Thursday is .60 cent boneless.
We were seated near the front door. The large projection screens mounted near the ceiling were not very visible because the light pouring through the glass doors on a sunny spring day made it difficult to view the picture. Had we known this we'd have opted to sit in the large bar area which offers better views of the televisions.
Buffalo Wild Wings is known for their wings, and their sauce. There are 14 kinds of signature barbecue sauce ranging all the way from sweet & mild to something called blazin'. The mid-spice range sauces are the most popular: Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings. Tangy, sticky and delicious!
There are sandwiches, wraps, burgers, chicken tenders & wings, ribs and combo plates to choose from. A red star depicts customer favorites on the menu. We ordered Honey Barbeque Chicken Salad ($7.29) and . Our entrees weren't as exciting as the wings. My salad was not very large and was poorly presented in a black plastic container. Iceberg lettuce with freshly shaved carrots contained disheveled shredded cheese on one side, chicken in the middle, and pico de gallo on the other side. A small plastic cup held the dressing. This was by far one of the poorest salad presentations ever seen. What's with all the plastic? Al Gore would have a fit! The only redeeming quality was the juicy barbecued chicken in the salad. The cheeseburger was good but a bit overcooked for our liking (all meat at Buffalo Wild Wings is cooked medium-well) and was missing the barbecue sauce. The flavorless paper-thin bacon did not enhance the burger in any way. Accompanying fries were tasteless. If a teenager leaves fries sitting on a plate you know something isn't quite right!
Service was inattentive. We asked the waitress for mustard; twice. Beverage refills were never provided and had to be requested. Our check was brought to the table with the assumption we would not be ordering dessert. That's too bad as there's cheesecake, apple pie and a chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream, all priced at $4.79. We left with the impression the servers are given too many tables and can't keep tabs on everyone, or perhaps a much larger lunch crowd showed up than expected? It was, after all, Wing Day! Since this restaurant has only been open for a few months we'll let them get a few kinks worked out then return again because the wings sure are great, the crowd is young, and the atmosphere is lively!
Happy Hour (as of April 2009) is $1 off all drinks, Monday through Friday from 3 - 6 pm.
From 10 pm until closing, nightly, get $1 off all drinks and .45 cent wings.

So I'm not a HUGE fan of chain restaurants, but living where we live it's impossible to completely escape them and Buffalo Wild Wings is one of the few I actually like! For a sports fan, you CAN NOT beat it...every sporting event you'd want to see is available on about 100 NEW tv's. The food is pretty straight forward bar-type food, but the wings really are good with a variety of sauces ranging from mild to insanely hot. The place is kid friendly as well and have had our 2 year old in the dining room many times. Was great to have them up and running during March Madness!
