It's been awhile since I've been to Buffalo Wild Wings, after a couple of bad experiences in a row, I was pretty put off. Â We went last night to celebrate a friend's birthday.
Since we had a large group and the restaurant was pretty full, we opted to spread out across a few different tables in the bar. Â
Our server seemed pretty disinterested, she took our drink order and then food, and immediately dropped the checks when we were finished eating (nevermind the fact that there we several games still on and it's a bar, hello?!? Â She also added gratuity to our bills, (we all had separate checks) which fine, whatever, I understand it's her prerogative, but everyone pretty much agreed that she probably would've ended up with more than 17.5% overall.
The food was decent, but did feel like it had been sitting.
I'm still not rushing back.
Nothing special. Â The wings are on special on Tuesdays but you don't get the usual side of celery and ranch. If there's a steak special do I not get the potato? If the hot dog combo is on special I don't get mustard, relish or pickle. Â I have to pay extra for it. It'll be awhile before I consider going back and dissatisfied, I'll tell at least ten people.
Review Source:I was in town looking for a place to watch the football games and ended up at B-Dubs. Â I've been to several in the chain and this one was just OK. Â I ate and drank at the bar and had just OK service. Â The food looked like it had been thrown on the platter but tasted the same as other locations.
I got the impression that had I been a regular I would have gotten better service and maybe a little conversation as most of the staff was chatting it up with friends and commenting on the games.
I've seen the commercials for BWW plenty of times but this was my first time experiencing for myself. Came here on a Sunday to watch some football with a group of 5. The place was packed but we hung out at the bar area while waiting for a table. I tried 8 boneless wings: 4 of the garlic parmesan sauce and 4 of the honey bbq. The "wings" were more breading that actual chicken and the garlic parmesan "sauce" was more like butter. The fries were very disappointing as well. This place gets points for the fun and lively environment but no stars for the food.
Review Source:B-Dubs is just alright for me. Â It's good, but not great. Â Also, I prefer the wings from Hooters because the sauce is cooked into them as opposed to just put on them like at D-Bubs. Â
The boyfriend and I had the Sweet BBQ, Spicy Garlic, Parmesan Garlic and Desert Heat wings. Â They were good, but I wished that the Desert Heat's spices would have been more on the wing as opposed to in the takeout box. Â The spice didn't seem to stick.
Overall, good wings and I will be back due to the close proximity to my house.
This company is on the back nine in terms of life span. The prices keep rising and the quality keeps dropping. Wings get less and less sauce, extra sauce is more expensive. Beer specials are no long specials at all. $6.50 for a tall Blue Moon is no special. Blue Moon isn't even a good beer. $4.00 for tall Miller Lite and Bud Light is decent if you like crappy beer.
I've probably stepped foot into b-dubs for the last time.
Sadly, I've been here 2 or 3 times over the past month and a half or so, which to me is a lot of BDubbing in a short period of time. Â I'm not some crazy fan or anything; it's just been a convenient meet-up location.
The second-to-last time was during peak Thursday game/boneless hours when we had to sit in the bar. Â Even though we were right by the server's station and in plain view of our server when she was hanging out there, our empty drinks went without refilling until we asked. Â Clearly they were more about getting us in and out than making sure we were satiated.
We were also there last night (Tuesday) but got there at 5 when it WASN'T packet yet. Â Our server Jamie was attentive without being overbearing. Â Oddly enough they were OUT of regular Bud draft, which was one of their 3 "specials," so my +1 got a Light. Â
We got the spinach + artichoke dip that was pretty bland (NOT worth the $7), he got a pulled pork sandwich + fries, and I got a cheeseburger + wedges. Â The fries and wedges were lukewarm at best when they came out, and my cheeseburger was flavorless. Â The only upside about the burger was that it was significantly larger than the bun which you don't find much at chains. Maybe they were compensating for quality with quantity? Â I guess my +1's sandwich was fine.
Needless to say, I was kicking myself for not getting the wings, which always seem to be at least predictable.
No issues here. Â We often order carry out wings and potato wedges from here and have never been disappointed. Â
I met some friends here for a late lunch on Sunday at 2 pm to meet some friends I had not seen in a while. Â We hung out for a while and were never rushed by the waitress. Â We ordered a bunch of wings and tried out some of the newer sauces. Â The boys drank beer, and I tried a new mixed drink... it was some sort of a punch... it tasted like straight up fruit punch... but I definitely felt the alcohol. Â I have also tried the Electric Blue Lemonade and I really like that as well!
This review is from May 2011. The server was very nice and attentive. The wings were great, it was hot & fresh, and sauced perfect. I know all Wild wings taste the same but they're never equal. Sometimes, it over fried, luke warm, too much sauce or not enough or even unevenly sauced.
Big downside are the TVs, many of them were tube, just a few big screen projectors. Maybe it upgraded, I hope they did. It's like watching sports in the 90s.If they had the HDTVs then ratings would be higher. It's sports bar, so one rating lower is reasonable.
me,my husband and our friend went here and our friend kept on saying that the good was great and that we would love it. So we ordered an appetizer which had a little bit of everything in it and out of everything that came with the appetizer I fell in love with the wings. We didn't get the hot because our friend couldn't take the heat I know sad. So we got the honey BBQ which was good I plan on going back and getting something hot and spicy. But besides that it was good. And for our meal I got a hamburger and so did my husband which was to die for. All i had to say to my husband was if the burgers here are this good just think of how good everything else is....So we are so going back to try more. So if you like a sports bar atmosphere and good food I'd try buffalo wild wings you'll love it.
Review Source:My experience was awful. Â I will never come back to this location. Â I came with 2 of my gf's from a baby shower and we were ready to enjoy our night and relax. Â Our server Jill when welcomed us was not friendly at all. Â Very meek and quiet in asking for our drink selections. Â The girls ordered 2 Apple Martini's & I asked for hot tea. Â It took her 25 minutes to bring me my hot tea after I asked her 3 times after I ordered it. Â She actually brought me beer instead of what I actually wanted. Â The apple martini's were awful and the girls asked for soda's instead . Â After we ordered our flatbread and BONELESS chicken wings, they messed up our oder again. Â So it took longer to get our boneless since they brought ones with bones. Â After the gentlemen apologized and took it back, Jill came by and with exact wording from her mouth "What is it this time?" with a huge attitue. Â Never in my life have I had a server ask me with such force in attitute and no apology of any kind. Â After we got our correct order, she never came back to check on us or ask if our food was good. Â Everything still tasted super salty and gross. Â Jill should have never approached us the way she did. Â If she was having a bad day, you should know not to take it out on a customer. Â DUH! Â Well we did have the manager come by but she just apologized about the martini's and left. Â Nothing was offered to make us want to come back.
Review Source:What can I say about this place other than it's definitely not the best B-Dubs. Â First, the service was terrible. Â Lisa C and myself had a very simple order of drinks and wings...I think waiting a half hour for wings was ridiculous. Â Aside from that, when we were done with our meal it took about ten minutes for the server to to give our check and another five minutes to pick up my credit card. Â To top it all off, you get some really loud people coming here. Â I'm aware that this is a sports bar type place and meant to be loud, but I think when people literally scream it pushes the limit. Â Overall, if you hate slow service and barely being able to hear the person across from you, then I highly suggest not coming to this B-Dubs.
Review Source:The food is decent, and fairly priced for what it is. Â Except if you want an extra side of some sort of dipping sauce - which will cost you about 60 cents. Â I don't know of another chain that does that! Â The service is iffy at this location. Â Once they forgot the BUFFALO SAUCE on my *buffalo ranch chicken wrap*. Â Normally I would not get bent out of shape about the forgetting of a condiment, but things are a bit different when the aforementioned condiment is a fundamental part of why your restaurant exists and is also in the title of the dish. Â And then when I finally flagged down the waiter to let him know something was missing (It took 15 minutes), he stared at me like I was nuts, and said "Soooo...what do you want me to do with it?" Â I want you to either take it back, and put buffalo sauce on it, or I would like a small side of buffalo sauce. Â I think I had a small stroke at that point.
Obviously since it's a sports bar type place, it gets pretty loud in here. Â The area near the front entrance seems to be the most quiet if you're not there to get a buzz and watch every sport that exists all at once. Â Also it gets EXTREMELY crowded around lunch time on week days since there are a ton of offices around. Â
I do recommend the fried pickles. Â The nachos are revolting, and my boyfriend seems reasonably content with the burgers. Â I'm not very tolerant of spicy food, and the medium buffalo sauce doesn't bother me. Â Watch yourself if you're not familiar with some of the entrees - they come with chips and salsa as a side instead of fries...which are also disgusting. Â Sub potato wedges for a much better experience. Â :)
The place is great in the sense that there are a million TV's to watch sports and the like, and it's good for social gatherings. Â The wings are also very tasty with all the sauce selections you get to pick from.
I only wish the wings were a little meatier. Â Today I ordered 18 wings (3 different flavors), and one batch only had 5 instead of 6, and another wing was kind of deformed and inedible. Â Great place for a casual gathering, though.
As far as service is concerned, this location is a real loser in my book. Just read my reviews, and you'll see that I Yelp several B'dubs. I pump this stock more than Jim Cramer promotes Haliburton. This is a GREAT company, that really gets it! Mark my words- this stock (BWLD) will be the next Panera or Chipotle. Buy it now, while it's still relatively cheap!
Now, enough of the financial advice, and let's get to the review. This location sucks! The service is absolutely atrocious, and you'll most likely appear transparent, as the servers and bartenders are more concerned with socializing or watching TV.
The food has always been solid, and they've never been out of a certain item when I've been in here; but, I can't handle the indolent servers anymore.
Here's a snippet of my last experience:
I was in here watching the Derby, and it was shocking that there were only three of us at the bar. "Skye" was the attentive bartender working this day, and he was a real gem. "Skye" {leaning up against the bar, arms crossed} could care less about asking if we needed anything. Nope, "Skye" stood there as if he were mentally retarded and just drifted off into his own little dream world. He had a 100 mile stare, and portrayed a confused look, and seemed as though focusing was a real issue. Maybe he was hungover, or possible ingested a lot of drugs the night before. I really do not know, but he has no business bartending. Â
After waiting a good 15 minutes after he had the difficult task of pouring a beer, my wife and I had menus in hand. We placed them down, so he would possibly ask if we wanted anything to eat. Actually, we did this a few times. No cigar! Instead, we had to wave our hands, and actually motion him over to us, because making eye contact is a real struggle for "Skye."
Two beers and our wings, we were done. I'd hate to see how "Skye" would act if he were actually in the weeds. I hope the Manager, or someone in corporate reads this, as they really need to get some good employees in here. Too bad, because it's in a great area, and I'd frequent here more often if they hire a competent staff.
Thank goodness that "B-dubs" finally opened a half mile from my office. The lunch deals are great at about $8 including bottomless soda and the lunch card gets you $5 off after five lunches. I probably go through one of these each month. This is one of the larger locations I've seen and the bar accommodates a big crowd for evening and weekend sports. One of the more decent draft beer selections you'll find this far out in the burbs too.
Review Source:It's a sports bar. Â If you come here with hi expectations for food, you will be disappointed. Â Lots of flat screens. Â Beer of month is cheap and so is special of day. Â Over 20 beers on tap. Â Wednesdays 75 cent chicken leg night. Â Also keep in mind, during big games or events service does slow down. Â With these facts in mind, you shouldn't be dissapointed. 5 stars for Sports Bar, 3 stars for food. Â By the way, I buy the Hot BBQ sauce to take home. Â It's that good.
Review Source:Fact #1: Being on a diet sucks.
Fact #2: Being on a diet sucks even more when you're watching your dining companions wolf down wings and onion rings while you're eating a salad.
After being corralled into going to B-Dubs with my father to watch the Bears game yesterday, I started to freak out a bit. Â I went to an insanely difficult spin class that morning and I was in no mood to put all of those calories (and then some) back into my body so quickly. Â Could there be ANYTHING on the menu that wasn't a total caloriefest?
Dieters rejoice! Â There is something you can order on the menu. Â It's not exciting, but it will certainly get you through a trip to BWW without major calorie consumption. Â It's called the Blacked Chicken Salad. Â When ordered without croutons, it's just mixed greens, a few veggies, a touch of shredded cheese and a breast of super spicy grilled chicken. Â Pair it with the light Italian dressing (20 calories - hey-yo!) and you have a lean, mean, low-calorie meal that is actually pretty filling.
Exciting? Â Not so much. Â But it did get the job done for very minimum damage to my calorie intake.
This place is probably ok if you're having some kind of uncontrollable craving for wings. Â Probably also a good hangout if you want to just do some beers. Â But don't order anything other than wings. Â And if you want all-around good chain food involving orange sauce, go to Famous Dave's barbecue down the street.
Review Source:Pretty good. This place is fun and great if you have kids. I've been to a few of these in my life and this one was ok. The staff was pleasant but a bit slow and the food quality was about what you'd expect from a BWW. Nice arcade games for the kids and lots of TVs. It's nothing special, but pretty good if you want to get out with your kids on a Friday night.
Review Source:I love Buffalo Wild Wings. The mango habanero sauce is to die for and the garlic mushroom appetizers are a hit. The problem I have is the customer service at this location. The wait staff is always unfriendly and in a hurry to get you out of their restaurant. I come now and again because it is near work and we like to enjoy Boneless Thursdays, but honestly the wait staff needs better training.
Review Source:I've been back quite a few times and they've changed up a few employees. Â Service during the lunch hour could be much much better. Â Waitresses are clueless with keeping up with those seated outside. Â Even the food service has worsened. Â I'm seriously thinking about only having salads here, from now on. Â Couple times now the wings / legs had a spits' worth of sauce on them. Â Waitress was too lazy to take it back to the kitchen so she brings out sauce. Â How can this happen more than once? Â Saving sauce to be cheap? I don't get it.
WTF?
Good place for meeting a bunch of people or just hanging and watching a game. Â However, nothing will blow you away. Â
Cavernous layout, bigscreens everywhere and usually an empty table or barstool. Â Reasonably friendly staff. Â Had a couple tastes of the wings, about what you'd expect, okay but nothing to write home about though.
I'll probably return in a pinch.
If you like lazy boy chairs and a million flat screens with various sports. Â This may be your place except for there is only one lazy boy in this spot. Â This place is always packed for sports fans. Â Highly recommended it for a team, group for their favorite place to watch the game. Â Lots of seating but be prepared to wait. Â Its a younger crowd and a newer facility which is nice alternative to the local dives in Libertyville. Â
Also I agree. Â Men if you are wanting to meet women, I don't think this is this is the ideal setting. Â Its a place for buddies.
