Wild Bill's Sports Saloon

Reviews & Tips

  I go to Wild Bill's for the $5 Burger weekday Lunch special. The best part is that the burgers are great, the service is too. The worst server we have had is better than most we find other places.
  There are other things on the menu as well, but I cannot comment on them. With all the TVs and the music overhead it is a bit loud at times, but then it is a sports bar.

  I'm surprised that Wild Bill's has relatively poor ratings on Yelp considering how packed they are every time we go there (which is almost weekly - on Thursdays - boneless wings special!)
  
  I like Wild Bills. Ok well I like what I've had there. They have a fairly extensive menu and I will admit I have only had the wings and poker chips (see below). I really like their boneless (especially when they're cheap on Thursday nights) - I was not a huge fan of the regular wings. They had a unpleasant reheated chicken flavor... but maybe that was just that one day. I haven't tried them again. Their sauces (and wings) are similar to BWW. Some sauces are better than others, but that is mostly just a taste preference. I have had the Jim Beam Buffalo recommended to me by multiple waitresses there and they are right - it's delicious! We've sampled others and have been satisfied with those too.
  
  Besides the wings - I REALLY enjoy the smothered poker chips (potatoes). They are sliced potatoes literally smothered with queso (so none of this microwaved shredded cheese that some places try to get away with) topped with green onion and chopped bacon... yum!!
  
  Also they have a nice beer list and some creative mixed drinks. Their drinks are cheap. Another note about this restaurant is they frequently have some sort of special/deal going on. Hard to keep track of what they all are but still a nice feature!
  
  Lots of TVs, good atmosphere for a group but not too loud for just 2 people to talk either.

  Great burgers!  The loaded fries are awesome!  A family favorite, a bit loud but it is a sports bar.

  Today's their opening day so I had to stop in for at least one.  Ordered a domestic draft.  Bartender asks "tall or short?". The guys next to me at the bar had one of each which looked almost identical in size. The "tall" isn't much taller. $2.50 for a tall domestic...  not bad at all.
  I read reviews from the other Wild Bill's near the cities and am wondering if this one will be any different being in Rochester.  We'll see!  Lots of TVs and offer NTN trivia.
  One pet peeve of mine, I ordered a "Lite"(light). The bartender then goes through the list of light beers. I'm old school and believe that Lite is Miller Lite.  Miller was the first to introduce light beer so they should get name dibs.  Any other light beers should be called Bud Light, Coors Light, etc. but when someone orders a "Light", they should automatically get a Miller Lite.  Again, just a peeve of mine that happens more than just at Wild Bill's... Other pubs too.  Damn I'm gettin' old!!!
  
  (2nd visit)  Okay... now for my official review.  This time, a friend and I went and sat at a table instead of the bar. The waitress "didn't see us" so we ended up waiting a good 10 minutes before we received any service.  My friend was having some tests at the clinic the next day so wasn't to have any alcohol so he asked about non-alcohol beer and she "didn't know".  He asked about Odoul's and she didn't know if it has alcohol or not or if they even have it. (They do.)  I found a coupon in the mail for 6 free wings.  We split the wings with "hot buffalo" and they really didn't seem that hot to me.  Tasty but not through the roof hot.  My friend ordered the BBQ chicken flatbread pizza and really enjoyed it but said he was starving and would of liked anything.  It looked really thin to me and maybe a little skimpy on the chicken.  I had the Cajun Ranch burger and thought it was perfect.  Good size, juicy, appropriately cooked, with plenty of toppings. Fries were just OK.  
  
  So, as for the waitress...  well, I'll just say not much upstairs but oh what a staircase!  
  1. She didn't know about the beer. 2. We waited for service.  3. She served us wings with only one napkin each (the one that wrapped the silverware).  Had to ask for more.  C'mon... ya serve wings... ya serve napkins.
  All in all, I'll try it again.  The positive food and atmosphere balanced out the negative service hence the 3 stars.  They're new so I'll give her a break but I hope she learns quickly.
