Buffalo Wild Wings is a solid choice and a fun place to watch a game. Their wings are good - they offer similar flavors to most places, including the typical hot wings as well as all of the rubs and spices that have become popular.
They have typical bar beers but there aren't any good specials. (In fact, when I asked the waitress for specials, she said that she could only remember two of the three they offered. I took her up on one, boulevards for $2.95, and she ended up charging me $4.10 a pop. Not a huge deal, but you can find good beer around $3 at many great places in Tulsa.)
We went on a gameday so we knew going in that getting a table would be a challenge. They have a HUGE bar area in the backroom, and although they allow smoking, it's actually pretty spiffy. Amazingly, didn't notice the smoke that much during the game and my clothes didn't stink when I got home. Despite the huge crowd, I thought our server was really great besides the beer special mishap. They were all very patient and attentive and all had a gazillion tables to take care of. (And, they balanced what they showed on the TVs very well. This can make or break your gameday experience!)
A good place to watch a game - if you just want somewhere good to eat or drink, you probably have better options elsewhere.
I usually love this place. Â It's been our "go to" for all games OSU and UFC, for over a year. The last 3 x we've been in here, the service has been almost non existent, and very slow. Â I noticed a bartender and a waitress sniffling and coughing. Â I woke up the next morning with a sore throat and have been sick ever since. Â May be awhile before I chance it again.
Review Source:Decent wings. Try potato wedges. Usually order to go. Service has been up & down from dine in. Good selection of wings. Â Try the naked tenders if you want something a little lighter.
Classic chain. Â Staff never too excited to be there. Â Cannot blame them. Â I suspect they've endured more than their fair share of $.25 tips.
This was a horrible lesson in culture shock:
My brother was getting married and we stopped here for drinks before the big day on a Friday night. FRIDAY NIGHT! Tell me why my birthday was two weeks earlier and on a Monday, yet when I was at home it was literally 3-4x busier on a Monday night there than a Friday night in Tulsa.
There was this godawful smell when we entered. It was like someone downed two gallons of Sriracha mixed with vinegar and puked all over the floor. Even being there for nearly two hours didn't ease the smell.
I didn't look at the menu, so I can't judge the food. They made a pretty good rum and coke, so no complaints there. The waitress was friendly and nice too.
I was disappointed that we went out for drinks and people brought children into the bar. And it wasn't just one table... apparently here it's socially acceptable to bring the kids along for a drink. I'm sorry, when you go to malls, get on planes, go to the store, etc. and have to put up with other people's kids, you sometimes long for child-free bastions, like bars, strip clubs and casinos... but alas, no respite at this place.
In the end, if they banned children and if there were a larger crowd for a FRIDAY NIGHT I could probably give this place a somewhat better review.
5 Stars?
Decent wings. Some sauces are good.
The "boneless" wings are really just mini-Tyson chicken strips (75% breading, 25% meat) and are tough.
Nachos were worse than taco bell, even worse than the crap you get at a ball park. Avoid.
There are many other and better (local) wing places to eat at.
We go here often. Love the atmosphere, love the food options. It is a very fun environment and the selection of sauces is great.
The main dining room is surrounded by huge TV screens but somehow it doesn't distract from the purpose: enjoying a meal.
The staff is always friendly (even when everyone in my party makes special requests.) It's a "westsiders" favorite place.
