What People Are Saying About Buffalo Wild Wings

Featured Review

In Short – This spacious sports bar comprises three rooms outfitted with beer signs, local athletes' jerseys, and hordes of ceiling-hung TVs and projection screens. Other diversions for the laid-back, 20s-to-30s clientele include pool and NTN Trivia. More than a dozen drafts and nearly two dozen bottled beers reign over the full bar, as chicken--wings, tenders and legs in 12 signature sauces--fittingly tops an ample food menu of appetizers, salads and sandwiches.

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
This place can get packed after 9pm on Friday and Saturday nights--head here early for a shot at the lone pool table in the main bar area. Game days are good times to visit if you're looking for company.
Save Money:
Typical weeknight specials include 30-cent wings and 50-cent legs, not to mention drink deals; call for the most current specials.

What a joke

Contributor at Citysearch

Can you believe only 2 little containers of ranch or blue cheese for 24 wings. Give me a break. Suburban BW's all give 4.

I AM EMBARRASSED

by JOECULLEN at Citysearch

My name is Joe and I am from Buffalo and this restaurant would never fly in Western New York. the wings are small and the price is steep. The Blue Cheese isn't even that great. Be forewarned,,,, This place has NOTHING TO DO WITH BUFFALO, NY. It has some thing to do with the Colorado Buffalo's. So if you like them you might like this place. Food is lousy. If you want a true Buffalo Bar, go to Lincoln Station next door.

  • Pros: Great marketing company
  • Cons: lousy wings and has absolutely nothing to do with Buffalo or Western New York

okay, but nothing special

by nedb7 at Citysearch

BW's are nothing special. Food's okay, sauce is okay.. I can get the same thing at several other places. For great wings, go to Yak-zies.

  • Pros: decent sauce
  • Cons: ordinary
