Buffalo Wild Wings

Good Food. Good Service.

I think I am being generous with a 2.

9 on a Wednesday so expecting normal service.  Bar was pretty slow but the bartender was also the table service.  Not good.  She was polite but hard to be attentive when you are doing two jobs.

Beer order was wrong.  Food order was missing an item.  Offers to make things right but it just felt slip shot.  The wings were cooked overly well done.  Sauce was as expected, hot.  Forgot the fries.  My guests both had burgers.  They only come one way per policy which is well done (i.e. cooked to death).  This is not a place to get a good burger unless you enjoy hockey pucks.

Best part was I got to watch the hockey game with a couple of pucks at the table...

Not a good experience.  Would rather patronize a local sports bar and put the money back into an entrepreneur than shovel money at this franchise.

Bummer.

What can I say about America's ubiquitous, perfectly average sports bars?  Well, they're basically everywhere, and they're perfectly ok.  

Occasionally you'll hit one that's a bit disheveled, with unkempt carpets, or a bit of a surly staff, but even then they're usually, still, um . . . ok.  

This one is just fine.  Clean, well kept, with a perfectly competent staff (courtesy the plentiful supply of work-hungry middle-class college students that MTSU provides), and reasonable local beer selections.  The food, like any other competent BW3, is decent, but nothing great, very generic, and a tad overpriced.  I do enjoy their giant list of somewhat creative wing sauces though.  And it's nice to have the choice of wings, legs, or "boneless wings" (aka giant nuggets).  It's also nice that they don't hide their wings behind a bunch of worthless breading.  They even have decent salads, and ok burgers, if you're of the camp who can tolerate frozen, pre-formed patties.

All-in-all not a terrible place for a snack or a beer, or to watch the game, if you happen to be stuck in the suburban wastelands.
