Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings is a pretty decent spot. Came here with my friends last Sunday and it’s alright. There were no complaints about the food. Service was quick (Sunday afternoon, pretty much dead). Nice/​clean bathrooms. Their new barbecue chicken sandwich is awesome and I’d get it again — the fries are a little too thin for me and feel more like I’m getting hickory sticks than anything else but overall it’s a good experience. I think there are far superior restaurants out there but it’s not like Buffalo Wild Wings is a bad option. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and there are a ton of TVs and it’s a great sports atmosphere if you need a place to catch a game or something. You could definitely do worse.
+ Friendly and efficient service
+ Clean washrooms
+ Good food — nice big portions (just don’t like the fries that much)
+ Nice atmosphere
No glaring cons.

Great place to watch a game with my kids and their friends. I always take the boys as they feel like they are at a pub. And they love the wings, I usually order a triple, so we can get 6 flavors of wings, I’m a fan of the saucy flavors over the dry, but it’s all preference. If you like spicy, my favorite are the mango habanero and the hot. Kids love the teriyaki and honey garlic. Great place to hang out for hockey or basketball or any big sport events. They also sell some of the sauces, I bought the mango habanero, great at home w/​hash browns.

Poor service… waitress needs to be more attentive to all customer instead of just the usual people. What does it take to get proper service here?

Before coming here, I had pretty low expectations. An American chain coming to Canada can be really hit or miss (I’m looking at you IHOP!), but I was craving some good wings and this place wasn’t too far from my place. I met my friend here on a Friday and it was already quite busy. They definitely cater to a wide range of people, from families to bros that want to watch the game. Speaking of that, in the lounge there are TVs EVERYWHERE so you are bound to find a game you want to watch there.
We didn’t have to wait long for a table. Bonus! Our waitress was really sweet and made good recommendations. The wings were pretty decent. I wouldn’t say they were the best wings I’ve ever had, but they passed the test. I had medium heat wings (not too much sauce, which I actually liked as I hate when wings are literally swimming in sauce) and I also had the Kickin’ Honey Garlic. I didn’t like that flavor as much, it was pretty basic and didn’t have the ‘kick’ it promised.
Overall, I think this place is perfect for young families or just watching the game. Their wings weren’t mind blowing (which is interesting, considering they have ‘wings’ in their name), but they were decent and were perfect with an ice cold beer. Not a place I would frequent regularly, but if I want some wings, I’ll stop by.

If I can make a suggestion, with your tacos, don’t be afraid to serve them hot. Don’t be lazy or afraid. The food in the tortillas is warm or hot, don’t serve it in a cold tortilla right out of the fridge. Also the sauce on the tacos was cold. Why are you serving cold sauce on hot food? Heat up your tortillas and condiments or at least have them at room temp. Veggie condiments can be cold, but not sauce condiments. Go that extra mile. We can do it.

Literally nothing good to say about our first or second visit! First time was busy so I get the service is not its best. 2^nd time waiting for an hour for our food when there is one other family here is totally ridiculous. WORST restaurant ever!!!

Hmm… this place is ok. Just ok, nothing more. We went on a Friday night expecting it to be busy but it really wasn’t (was this a sign?! Probably). The actual wings were good, but the service was horrible. We were seated by one person, introduced to another, then had yet another waitress bring us drinks, and another one bring us the food! We probably saw our actual waitress twice and she gets NO points for service at all. I will reiterate that it was not busy; she had maybe 2 – 3 other tables. Half the time we couldn’t find her at all and were constantly left without refills, etc. No hope of ordering anything else. She FINALLY came back after 15 minutes of us waiting with empty drinks and empty plates and halfheartedly asked if we wanted anoything else. No! Just the bill, please, before you disappear again! And after that, another 20 minutes of waiting ensued. My boyfriend just got up to pay at the front because at that point, we’d had enough. If you’re going to eat here, order take-​out.

Expensive for wings and a beer. Food was good service was poor. Friends from Australia were in town and wanted to have pub food. Wasn’t impressed at all servers were very unfriendly made us feel unwelcome. Wouldn’t go again find a local pub instead.

So disappointed.
Let me start by saying I was so stoked! Wings place for my husbands birthday — what could go wrong?
We went on a Wednesday, assumed they had a wing night (nope, its Tuesday and only for boneless)
Was promptly greeted by the hostess who had to check the bar for us, waited 10 minutes for her to tell us, yes theres room (and when we were seated noticed there were only 2 other tables occupied which kinda annoyed us).
The hostess asked us if it was our first time and it was so she did the flight attendant style pointing out where the washrooms were and the station to buy sauces.
After being seated did not have to wait long to get our drinks ordered (ponytail waiter was very nice). Not soon after we ordered appatizers which came out right away
was disspointed with the soft pretzels — were not very soft or warm.
ordered our meals and waited. waited. waited. No refills, no drinks offered. After an hour our waiter comes over to us and says he forgot to punch in our meal and that it will be out shortly… ahhhhh nice to self admit and not hide what you did, but really… there were people at 3 of the tables… pathetic!
Our bills come and he didn’t take anything off for the wait, I said to him it was my husbands birthday when we sat down and at the end reminded him again and he said «wish I had known…»
Not cool. and Birthdays only come once a year — good thing we had good friends with us but still. horrible.
Will not be back. Ever.

Horrible! A group of 7 of us showed up after a football game. We all ordered, and after literally 25 minutes, 4 of the 7 items that came out were wrong. No offers of apology and then 30 minutes later 3 of the 4 items come out. No record of the 4ths lunch… At this point we wait 10 minutes for a beer to be poured that we have to ask for, and no refills of water. We call over a manger and she offers our food free and says she’ll get a round of drinks too. Bill comes, wings arent credited, which last I checked were food, and no free drink. We ask for her again and she said there was no problem with wings so those weren’t credited, fine, and she can’t actually credit is drinks, all she was going to do was «rush our order of beer through» just poor management and service.
All in all, 2.5 hours later and our last friend finally finished eating.
Wasn’t even a one of, last time a friend was there they screwed up the order too.
Never going back.

I really liked the wings here, they’re a lot different and so much better than the ones cover in popcorn flavor powder crap that you get at most pubs. Every basket comes with carrot sticks and celery with a side of ranch so I didn’t have to order them on the side like how I always had to at other places. The only thing was how slow the service was, there were only 2 other tables and it took them half an hour to bring us 30 wings. But I’ll definitely be back hopefully they’ll change my mind.

This has come to be my local. I first came in before I moved here, when I was working out details for moving here. I noticed it on my way to the hotel, so I figured I’d go, since I knew the name, but had never been in one.
Like a previous poster, I had dealt with Neilly. She was my first experience after hopping up to the bar. She was very welcoming, friendly, and gave some good suggestions as well. When realizing that the next night would be the NFL opening Sunday, I knew where I’d be watching the games that weekend.
The wings were decent, though not the best I’ve had (that still goes to Boogies in Winnipeg, biggest wings I’ve ever had are there). Good selection of beer, and when a new one comes in they’ve always been quick to point it out, and give out a sample. As mentioned before, Tuesdays are wing nights, and Thursdays are boneless wing nights, and there is usually something for everyone with the 30 flavours.
Over the months I’ve got to know the staff (including management) and they’ve all been more than friendly and attentive (except one, who is no longer working there). I come in with friends, and they always enjoy it, and I come in alone when I just want to grab a pint and watch a game on a bigger TV than I have. Which is another great feature. You’re never going to come in here and be stuck watching something. If your team is playing, but there is UFC on as well, they will get you a TV with your game. In fact, they’ve told me they have a mandate to have multiple sports on at the same time. They’ll put the sound on for you if it’s not already on another event, or if it’s a big event, rather than being stuck listening to the juke box.
They also always seem very accommodating when large groups are coming in, and always seem to be able to fit people in at a table somewhere!
A definite plus is the covered patio with TVs on it, it was great for playoff hockey!

Great attentive service. Wings are big and juicy. Other food was just ok.
Overall a great place to come for wings and drinks.
They also offer beer mugs you can keep afterwards!

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings when it first opened and I thought that all of the hick-​ups I experienced while there were only because it was new. But now going back almost a year later — things still have not changed.
Friends and I were craving some pub food and we figured that this place was a natural choice. It may have been because it was in the afternoon (around 5) that there seemed to be an abundance of staff while there were hardly any people in the place.
Even when working in a restaurant when there are no one there to fill the seats you should still look busy or be doing something. But we counted 6 staff members standing, talking, and just looking bored. With that many extra staff with nothing to do, it does not send a great message.
We started with soft pretzels and deep fried pickles, and right from the start the food was super salty. Granted pretzels should be but the batter on the pickles don’t need that much seasoning.
I thought wings would be the saving grace, but those too were very salty. We tried Mild which were too hot for some, and then Parmesan Garlic which I pictured to be dry but was saucy — and again very salty. Considering it is a «wing joint» most pubs have more and better tasting flavours than here.
Since there were only 2 other tables in the place when we first arrived the server seemed always on top of us, and not in a good way. We were still enjoying drinks and talking and she kept coming back to ask for payment. She kept walking and stopping with the debit machine. It felt like she was rushing us out.
While in LA I was surprised to see so many Buffalo Wild Wings establishments but maybe it is better there than here?!
Either way this will be my last trip there.

SO many TVs! Nice lay out and pretty tasty menu.
The prices are a bit high, but the wings are delicious.

I was glad to see Buffalo Wild Wings take over the old Blockbuster location in Brick plaza. This place is about a kilometer from my parent’s place so when I’m visiting and there’s a Flames game on, I know where to go when I don’t want to be somewhere obnoxious like Schanks.
While BWW’s wings aren’t cheap, they are nice and meaty and they have a big selection of sauces and seasonings. If you’re looking for a cheap wing night with some friends, then stick to what ever pub you normally go to because this probably isn’t for you. However, i you’re looking for a reliable place to get good wings any night of the week and catch a game, then this is the place to come.
They have other food on the menu like burgers and salads. I tried a salad at another location in California and found it to be quite tasty. At this location I tried their burger lunch special which was meh, but on another night with my parents we had the nachos and they were hearty.
I try to get a taste of a wing sauce I haven’t tried before every time I come. On the hotter end of the scale the sauces are good an pack a punch, but they’re not going to fry your tastebuds and their blazin’ sauce doesn’t even come close to Duff’s Armageddon sauce. I think the only bomb I’ve found on the menu so far was their garlic parmesan sauce. It was basically caesar salad dressing. It wasn’t terrible, just not my cup of tea.
Service has always been excellent on each of my visits.

First of all, lets just say our waitress was so rude that at one point we figured we were on that Restaurant Stakeout show.
Second, we were there for over 1.5h cause our food took that long.
Third, they sure do not live up to their reputation as their wings were not even fully coated with sauce and most of the sauces we ordered were garbage.
On the plus side they have a great selection of beers on tap and they have plenty of TV’s for watching sports.

Buffalo’s has got the glossy new coat, stadium bright lighting, well trained staff, TV’s with every sports broadcast… and horrible food.
For a place that has «wings» in the name… why aren’t the wings a selling point?
And unlike every other place, wing nights are not on Wednesdays.
Chicken tenders? Dry chicken, horrible batter. Plum sauce tastes like chemicals.
I ended up having a full fledged affair with my salad… and I hate salad. It was the least suckiest thing at the table to eat.
Took a peep through a swinging door and saw the most glorious kitchen ever. Too bad they don’t actually make anything themselves. Everything comes from a deep freeze bag, sauces mixed from packages. Given a million dollar kitchen and you can’t even bread your own chicken, marinate your own wings. Shame.
But every cloud has a silver lining. The service was excellent. And apologetic (and also knew what I was talking about when I said it tasted like chemicals). Bartender kept our drinks filled, server gave us a coupon to come back. All the games I wanted to watch were on, without having to flip channels, or pick and choose. Excellent.
We ended up filling up our bellies with beer and writing off the food.
Growing pains? Maybe. Will I be back? For the TVs, and the drinks. But I will surely eat before I come.
Review #5 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012

First off let me say that being from the states this is not my first Buffalo Wild Wing experience. I’ve been to BWW’s in Laughlin NV, Cleveland, OH and Hawthorne, CA so I knew what I was getting myself into.
They have fabulous deals on wings, .60 wing day is Tuesdays — for Original Wings, they have like 30 sauces to choose from (Mango Habenero and Sweet Kicking Honey are our favorites), and Primo Margaritas to die from (and we are HUGE margarita snobs). Mary always takes great care of us, and we love the staff and the sports bar type ambiance.
They have the little trivia/​poker machines at the tables which are always fun. Typically it keeps us hanging around and drinking for awhile.
I highly recommend these guys — their salads are GREAT too, quality food at a reasonable price. These are delicious big and meaty wings too — not low quality crap.
;) give them a try and you won’t be sorry!

I was driving down Macleod trail and saw a fool in a Buffalo costume waving people in to this new restaurant in 30 + heat, and felt sorry for him.
This is the first one apparently in western Canada. It’s really kinda cool.
They have a massive selection of on tap beers big tvs a great bar, super friendly staff (and lots of them), and a fairly upbeat atmosphere.
The prices are decent and the food seems pretty good for what it is. If your into beer and wings this is the place.
I have had more bad wings than I can count, there’s almost no such thing as good 25 cent wings anymore other than in my home town of Langley, bs and a quaint little place called the rendezvous. But even those are 35 cents these days, but oh so worth it.
Sorry I was digressing thinking about those wings and waiting on these… Ok, so I ordered some salt and pepper wings just to judge the quality of the wings themselves.
I found them… Very salty and the salt they use is the very fine type, they should prolly go for the coarse type, but that’s my opinion, the wings were a bit on the skinny side not too much meat to them but nicely cooked not over done, but then i am spoiled having the best wing pub in canada in my back yard. Based on most places i have been to these are quite good… I would assume they would be very acceptable for the 65 cents they are on Tuesday’s, smeared with any one of the nice sauces they offer.
Beers on special are 4.95 quite a good deal.
So next I ordered a black and blue burger. They say in the menu that you should see the other burger… Like I suppose they were in a fight and this was the winner. Hahahaha…
Well no doubt. It is great… I love the square patty and the wedges are awesome… So come here already…
Hope you get Shay or Neilly as your waitress they are awesome!
