The chicken sandwich with the stuff pepper on it is amazing, I can’t recall the name but was very tasty! In the past didn’t have very good interaction with this place at there previous location but seems as if they changed there ways. Looking forward to going back to get some more good food!

Came for a grad party with open bar. We were upstairs and there was plenty of seats and tables. A cool divey bar. They played great old school west coast hiphop music that we loved. The bartender was nice and efficient. Her drinks were great, strong and tastes good. We stayed until 2am then decided to go to Soho, bad idea. We should have just stayed at bada bing. The bathrooms were also clean and tons of great service. Down stairs has half outdoor seating with fire pits. Really cool vibe here. My first time in buffalo and this place showed me a chill place that we really enjoyed.

Came here on a Sunday night since reviews seemed good. Drink was pretty watered down, and food took a good while to come out. I wish I could give the BBQ wing sauce 10 stars, unfortunately that was the only good thing. Ordered the bruschetta which turned out just to be garlic bread. Also my friend ordered a burger and asked if it was ok to substitute a chicken patty and they said they weren’t allowed to do so.

We had the Bing sandwich. Wow! We shared one for lunch and it was plenty when paired with a beer. Kids had Caesar salads and they ate the whole thing. The sign on the door is a little intimidating and funny, see attached pic or check it out, but we were greeted by friendly staff and felt comfy. If I’m ever in Buffalo again I will have to have the Bing again!

Some friends and I went to Bada Bing for the first time to watch the NCAA basketball tournament. They couldn’t have been more accommodating when we requested certain games on certain televisions! We also ate, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food! Best of all, our waitress — Audie was awesome!!! A great time was had by all and we can’t wait to go back!

I heard great things about this place, so it was only eight that I tried it! I ended up ordering the Antonio Bing Sandwich which is Crispy Chicken topped with stuffed banana pepper. It was very tasty and filling. The seasoned fries are awesome too! Pair it with the Antonia Bing and BAM!!! Yum!

I’m not one to write long reviews filled with everything I had to eat or drink. Mainly because everyone has their own opinions of what they like and most of the time I eat and drink pretty plainly — so here is what I will say … It was a cold Fall afternoon when I headed out of home — having a really bad day and not sure where I wanted to go — I ended up here! First and foremost — the reviews in general are pretty much on target for this place — it’s really great — why — because of: The staff — great personalities, speedy service, pleasant and they seemed to know I wasn’t in the best of moods. The selection of food — something for everyone — trust me and it was served fast, hot and quite tasty — I imagine everything is the same! It was clean and of course I got what I needed — peace and quiet and a not so good day! Thanks for my little slice of heaven and for giving me the space I needed. The four star review is solid and will force me into a return trip to see if I just arrived on a good day — or is this place this special. Surely a place to stop in and have a bite to eat or a cold one to drink!

One of my favorite bars, tons of TV’s and local Buffalo people. These are my favorite wings in Buffalo and the pizza is right there as well. The staff are attentive and I’ve never had an empty drink. The new building they are in now is really nice and modern. I got so used to the old location that it took me some time to warm up to the new one but I’m there now. When I take people there for the first time I order the meat ball pizza and hot wings. The tater tots are money. If it’s your first time and Sabres hockey team is playing… if they score be ready for the horn!

I surprise myself with this rating but bada Bing was great! We went there to watch the game and do a Sunday funday brunch and they did not disappoint. Service was fantastic even though the bar was packed. The drink deals were decent(2 for 1 mimosas and $ 14 buckets of beers) and the food was great. Highly HIGHLY recommend the steak and cheese pizza it was awesome. Overall it worked out great with good drinks and good food and plenty of TVs and we walked out of there with a very reasonable bill! Unexpected great time!

I have come here for both lunch & weekend libations. Bada Bing is very clean with a nice new modern design. It is nice to see a bar on Chippewa looking like this. I never expected the lunch menu to be so big & appealing! Their name, Bada Bing, is deceiving, makes me think of some dive bar. However, it is far from one. They have great drink & meal specials, which will keep your appetite AND wallet full :)

I never used to like Bada Bing. Every time I came here, I’d nurse a couple beers while my compatriots drooled over the sports broadcasts exuding from the bar’s myriad televisions. I don’t have anything against sports; I love a good football or hockey game(like most good Buffalonians). Still, sitting in a bar in relative silence, being pelted with dozens of television waves, just isn’t my favorite way to spend my limited free time. Still, over subsequent visits, I was shocked to find Bada Bing growing on me, much like a rock is surprised to like the fuzzy feel of moss growing on its hind side. The food is consistently good, something I didn’t realize during my initial booze-filled visits. Most recently, I had the Chicken in the Grass sandwich, which was tender, tasty, and well-cooked. The pizza and wings also have nice flavors and textures. The beer list is decent, although not catered to brew connoisseurs. I can always find something to soothe my pallet, though, so no complaints here. Most importantly, the service is stellar. Last night, my payment was messed up due to a problem with the computers(something that will happen to the best of us). Our server was so sweet and apologetic that I never even had the chance to feel irritated at the inconvenience. I’m sure I’ll feel slight irritation at being dragged here for future sporting events. But knowing that I have good company, great food, and a few good beers waiting for me on the other side will make the experience much easier to bear!

We were a little hungry and decided it was time try Bada Bing at its new location. It’s location is down the street from where they were but I actually liked the other location better. But boy when we walked in it is really nice inside. They tried to keep its same charm with a modern twist. They even have an upstairs bar and seating. With many tv’s everywhere a man’s dream of watching sports. Now for the food we ordered apps 2 meatballs, 2 stuffed peppers and 2 pieces of garlic toast. Now I realized why we came back we missed some delicious food. The stuffed peppers were cooled perfectly and the cheese stuffing was wonderful. My husband ordered the bada blue burger and I ordered the big al chicken sandwich. Both had bacon on it. You know sometimes when you get than on a sandwich the bacon is thick and chewy not really done??? Well that wasn’t the case. It was thin and done to perfection. We also had macaroni salad, not sure why but boy it tasted really good. Glad we got back here will be back soon!!!

A large group of friends and family were staying at the Hyatt just around the corner so we asked the concierge where he would recommend we go for dinner. Having two toddlers in our group, we wanted something casual and easy to walk to. He suggested Bada Bing and gave us directions. It was such a convenient walk from the hotel, we were delighted. Upon entering the restaurant, we were given the choice whether we wanted to sit at the main level or upstairs and we chose to go up. We were practically the only ones upstairs which was great! The Bada Bing brand is everywhere in this restaurant. They put a logo or some type of marketing on almost everything, which is good for them. They really want to push the brand and make it memorable. The view of Chippewa from our seats wasn’t terribly exciting, but it was still early for the colorful night scene and I personally didn’t care to see it anyway. Foreplay Nightclub isn’t really what I want my kid to ask questions about once he can read! The kids menu had some activities on it and they included these great hexagonal crayons that won’t roll off the table. Great idea, Bada Bing! My son ordered a grilled cheese and french fries. The french fries were heavily seasoned like the adults had, which most kids balk at. My suggestion for the restaurant is to tone down the salt/pepper/special spices on the kid food since kids have a more bland palate vs adults. I ordered a BBQ burger which was not bad. It seemed like a normal hamburger that had been drenched in BBQ sauce and put on a bun with all the normal fixings and some bacon. I’ve had better but I’ve had worse, so it ended up on the middle of my scale. It was tasty, but not very memorable. The potato wedges were cooked to perfection, though very heavily seasoned. Others in our large party were happy with their meals. Our server was fantastic too. She was very attentive and put up well with the joker of the group(there’s always one that has to have a little fun with people). We admired how she carried all the plates of food up the stairs, two plates at a time, until we were all served. She was great. All-in-all, the brand is fun, the service is great, the food is good, and the location is easy to get to from many parts of downtown Buffalo. I would recommend it for dates, get-togethers, lunch, or to get a few drinks with a friend at the bar. I am not in downtown Buffalo often, but now I know of a comfortable place to grab a bite to eat next time I’m in the city.

I had the Bing which is a ridiculously delicious steak sandwich and way more than one human being can eat in a sitting, selection of sides is extensive, I went with the pasta salad which was really good. The beer selection was GODAWFUL! There was 1 local beer on tap. ONE! And it was the only local or craft beer in the entire place. So, if you like Budweiser I guess this place is heaven. Music videos and sports on the TVs. Easy to get a good view of the sports games and the volume on the music was not too loud. Service was decent but far from great. Classic sports bar with classic business-bro clientele, classic(good) food, and classic(fucking crappy) beers.

I would never crave Bada Bing, but if this is where friends of mine were going to watch a game and hang out, I would happily go. It’s a great place to watch a sporting event and drink some beer, food wise, I just thought everything sounded the same, just worded slightly different. I was trying to choose a salad last time I came in for dinner and almost every salad had the exact same ingredients just described in a different order, moreover, none of them sounded appetizing, just boring. I ended up getting a grilled chicken entrée that was topped with spinach and mozzarella cheese. I got to choose a side and went with a garden salad. The balsamic dressing was good and the dish as a whole was pretty tasty. Everyone else at the table got the Antonio and didn’t stop raving about it the entire time. The best roll in Buffalo, they said. The server was nice and attentive. Overall my experiences here have been decent. I prefer the downstairs because you feel sort of feel away from everyone upstairs. Downstairs there’s a lot of commotion, it’s loud and there’s lots of people to chit chat with and to watch. If you have a larger party and aren’t looking to mingle with others too much then the upstairs would probably be more appealing to you.

Went to enjoy some food and music, but was disheartened to find the people of this establishment are homophobic, disrespectful and unkind to their customers. Would advise anybody who supports respect for others, not to support this business.

I’ve been watching a lot of Bob’s Burgers. Like… a LOT. So, when I had to go to a meeting Saturday at noon, I had one thing on my mind. Getting a burger. Of whatever quality they had. Even if the meeting was switched to a sushi restaurant I was going to get my burger. Luckily, LUCKILY, the meeting was at Bada Bing. Who, graciously, offered their meeting space last minute after the first venue had a fire. There are so many TVs. So many. So, when it comes to game night. This is definitely a good place to be. Service was prompt and attentive even though we had a fairly large party. I got the A1 burger, my friend got the Greek Salad. She complained that the rectangular plate it came on was kind of awkard. And I could see her struggling to distribute dressing with those hard corners. Greens, chicken, other vegetables, dressing, feta cheese? It’s a salad, the veggies looked fresh. You can’t really go wrong after that. The burger was amazing. Exactly what I wanted and ordered. Super juicy but the bread was so hearty that the burger failed to fall apart no matter how soggy the bottom piece was starting to feel. Mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and A1 sauce. This is NOT a unique creation, but it was delicious and masterfully executed. I normally warn people away from Chippewa. Not anymore. Bada Bing is a must visit!

I recently went to Bada Bing while visiting Buffalo from Chicago. I was pleasantly pleased by this bar. The bartender we had originally was very friendly as was our Server once we moved to a table once everyone showed up. We had a group of seven and while the bar was packed our glasses were always full and the food came quickly. Great beer selection — Yuengling on draft! A few solid Crafts and your usual Domestics. We ordered pizza and wings for the table. The pizza phenomenal and the wings were solid. The wings weren’t as great as a few other Buffalo spots. I’ll definitely return when visiting Buffalo again!

You know there are few places to sit down and quickly get a delicious lunch in Buffalo during the week. Most restaurants just do not«get» the«I have a ½ hour for lunch» thing. I brought a newbie co-worker with me– who was hesitant, but he ended up eating every single morsel and raving about the service, the place and the food. I ordered the soup of the day — Italian wedding– very authentic in my eyes. It had pieces of egg whites which is how my Italian mom made it for us growing up. I had the spinach and cheese chicken sandwich — a favorite of mine. I suggested to my friend the eggplant sandwich and the seasoned fries– and he gorged it(in a good way). Great place — always like the vibe and the waitstaff as well.

Horrible Service. Went there for the NCAA football playoff championship game. They wouldn’t let me hear the pregame show at 8pm on a Monday night. Instead they have random music on while people eat chicken wings and don’t even listen. The game comes on at 8:30 and the sound quality was horrible! They wouldn’t even let me turn on a TV that was right over my head to let me hear the volume from that TV. So so I just reached my hand up there and turned up the volume myself. wtf. that wasn’t hard. On top of all of this I simply asked the bartender for a phone charger and they have none. Come on spend 5 bucks and update your bar to the present day. And provide some service that actually deserves a tip.

Went to Bada Bing to watch the bills game. the bar area was crowded but luckily they had seating upstairs with plenty of tvs to watch the game and eat. I had a delicious classic Bloody Mary and then we had some mimosas. They were 2 for 1 but still ended up being pretty expensive considering many restaurants have bottomless mimosas on Sunday’s! I got an egg sandwich with roasted red peppers and provolone. it was perfect for someone who couldn’t decide whether I wanted breakfast or lunch! The bruschetta, wings and fries were all delicious as well. Definitely not the healthiest of meals, but great for a cheat day! The service was nice and interior is beautiful. I’ll be back again for sure.

When my date suggested we watch Monday Night Football on Chippewa, I admit I did cringe a little. But Bada Bing really proved my judgement to be unfair! I remembered this location as the former Area 42 where my friends used to do too many shots and have to call cabs home from in college. Wow has it changed! The walls are now lined with massive tv screens and the bar and tables are comfortable and slightly trendy. It’s not a place I would spend every evening, but it certainly was a perfect spot to watch football. We didn’t order food this time because we had just eaten. Still, the smells from the kitchen and plates being brought to customers around me made my mouth water. I have since heard good things about their food. The beer selection left a little to be desired but most of the people around me were drinking bud light. They have a fancy full bar and the bartenders were very attentive. Lastly, I want to add that there were some incredibly annoying and inappropriate customers at the bar near me and the bartenders handled them excellently. I’ll be back!(If I’m on Chippewa ;))

The new Bada Bing is bigger and better; not just the physical space of the restaurant and bar, but also the food itself! The menu is very similar to the old menu. You will see some of your old favorites as well as some new options with a wider variety. I was pleased to see new side options that you can pick to accompany your sandwiches. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which was topped with spinach and mozzarella cheese. An added bonus that was a welcome surprise: the bun tasted like it was seasoned with some sort of heavenly garlic butter. Lots of garlic flavor but not too buttery. Most of the moisture came from the perfectly cooked spinach. They were not stingy on the spinach or the cheese and everything came together in a perfect ratio. Great, prompt service. The bar and restaurant is AWESOME. Seating upstairs and downstairs. This is definitely a sports bar, as it is fitted with very large televisions in most areas. I would love to come here to watch a game. A little disappointed that their prices increased(9.99 for my sandwich) but I will say the portions and the quality justified the price. Still, I won’t go here often for lunch because that would add up too quickly.
