I come here on a regular basis. This is my favorite wing place. The chicken is juicy and not over breaded. And the sauce… well there is plenty to choose from. Every flavor comes in every heat range. I have been to buffalo wild wings and don’t get it… their wings are dry and all breading. Also the pickle chips are awesome.

I had been here before and I always ordered the buffalo chicken nachos because I really like the bleu cheese dip. On my lunch trip last week, I changed it up and ordered the buffalo chicken & burger without ranch because, yuck, with the bleu cheese dip instead. My order arrives and my parmesan aioli fries are correct(and delicious) but the waitress has brought me the buffalo chicken wrap. It’s a mistake, I get it. I come from the school of writing down orders on a pad to ensure accuracy but that’s neither here nor there. A few minutes after I finish my fries, my new sandwich arrives with ranch dripping all over it. I did get a side of the bleu cheese dip but I wanted that on the sandwich not this grossness. Instead of waiting around for another new sandwich, I remove all other toppings(all 1 piece of lettuce and tomato) to mitigate the damage. I just pile as much of the dip on as I can and tough my way through. If that were the end, that would be enough but I order a dessert to go like any glutton for punishment. I order the SEVENDOLLARFUNNELSTIX. I do this because they are supposed to come with fresh strawberries and a side of crème anglaise and sea salt caramel dipping sauce. That sounds awesome, right? I note that the bag I get is rather small and light but I just assume that’s portion size and that fried dough sticks aren’t exactly heavy. When I get home and open the bag, I see no berries nor dipping sauce. In other words, no reason as to why I ordered this in the first place. What was in there was some barely sweet sticks of fried play-doh. I remember eating it as a kid, ok, so I know what it tastes like. This was that without the fun colors. Had I known this was all that I was getting, I would have saved money and bought actual play-doh. At least I could play with that. It might be boring after five minutes but I wouldn’t have tried to eat it. The only reason this isn’t a one star are for their sauces(bleu cheese and parmesan aioli but not ranch because that isn’t my thing). Everything else was mediocre at best. Again, my dessert should have had what sounded like a delectable sauce as well but no one believed me to be worthy even though I gave them multiple chances and spent $ 25 dollars for a blah lunch(no alcohol, either). You should bend over backwards for someone like that. Instead, I was an afterthought.

As far as the service goes-nothing to complain about. The waiter was super friendly. The food was awesome, too. The boneless wings had a lot of meat on them, and they had lots of sauce on them. Altogether, a great restaurant!

The food is good. They have plenty of sauce choices for the wings. The service is lacking at this place especially if you sit in the bar area. If you get the bar area, you are practically ignored. Why cant silverware be on the table when you sit down. Is that too difficult for workers to do? Food came out but there was nothing to eat it with it. And no I cant eat a salad with my hands. Had to hunt down the server. This place should have stayed closed.

It’s like a quaint version of Buffulo Wild Wings. The food is better, especially the Cool Wasabi Wings. Further research must be done to properly quantify what cool tastes like. There’s a dizzying array of TVs to keep you preoccupied from the fact that you are in the suburbs. Unfortunately, it’s not very effective. Escape from the suburbs is impossible.

Slow service but there was only one person working and he was trying for the Xtra hot they were hot not not scorching but I felt the chicken was a bit underdone. And who doesn’t give celery with blue cheese?

Poor service tonight Three tables around us, who were seated after us, were served prior to us. Our appetizer was brought out with our meal. We never did receive utensils. Don’t put any money in the video games … They don’t work. This place used to be a favorite for us, but lately, the service is slipping.

This was our first time eating here and for being a Sunday afternoon during off hours… it was great! The wings were by far the best I’ve had in a while! Super meaty hot and lots of sauce! Yum! And I got the onion rings too! Not soggy… crispy! I will be coming back! The server was out bartender and he was very attentive as well!

Really awesome wings IMO. Better than BWW. Everything tastes fresh. I’ve had the regular wings, boneless wings and tenders and they’re all really large and juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside like they should be. Better value than BWW too. I love how customizable everything is from type of chicken to sauce flavor and intensity. Beware, Service can be a little slow.

We love this place! The food is so great, atmosphere is awesome, such a random little place in an off strip mall. Definitely check this place out!

Waiter was super rude and crumpled up the receipt while walking away from us. We ordered the garlic Parmesan sauce and it tasted like straight up buffalo sauce. He said«no it’s garlic, I can smell it» brought it to the back to get us the«right» sauce and all he did was sprinkle damn cheese on it like we were born yesterday and wouldn’t notice. I’ll spend my time at Buffalo Wild Wings where they’re decent to the customer and get their orders right… don’t waste your time unless you want to be waited on rude trailer trash.

Not even 1 star. Horrible service went in for dinner waited over 20 minutes for a server no one ever came to take our order. We got up and walked out. I would never go there. Rude service.

Love this place, especially compared to Buffalo Wild wings. The wings here are MUCH larger, there are WAY more sauces and you can get any flavor sauce with different heats, unlike wild wings. They also give you more sauce, wild wings have dry spots on theirs. Other menu items are bigger and better than wild wings too. Wild wings blasts rap music so you can’t hear yourself think, none of that nonsense here. Only problem is I went there during a very popular UFC fight, and they did not have it. We got our wings to go but I was a little disappointed

I’ve been here twice so far and I have to say this place is pretty good. The boneless wings are huge and not overly breaded like Buffalo Wild Wings. The quality of their wings are great and the Q-BBQ, Bourbon, Sweet Chili and Parmesan garlic sauces were really good. We got the wings both times and have been satisfied. We got the gyro quesadilla and I thought it was ok. There were too many onions in there and the sauce and gyro meat were blain. I wouldn’t get it again. Overall this place is pretty good and a better option than BWW. Also make sure you use the Unilocal check in for 5 free wings if you spend $ 20 or more.

Buffalo Wings & Rings is a decent place for wings/bar food when you’ve gone to Crosstown and Buffalo Wild Wings a lot over the long winter and want a change of pace. We recently went on a late Saturday afternoon/early evening and all of ordered some type of wing(boneless or bone-in) and each enjoyed them. The parmesan garlic sauce is good and I do like how they serve their wings-in bowls, with plenty of extra to use as dip for whatever side you ordered! The hot buffalo was good-just right heat and flavor. The server, Thomas, was good-a little too anxious to take our order early on, but solid thereafter. I’ll go back, but not a «go to» place if not in the area. I will say that their menu is interesting with some unique selections of sandwiches and sides.

I was incredibly impressed with my experience here! Our waiter was so nice and friendly, full of smiles. I wish I could remember his name, maybe Jake. He deserves more kudos! Anyhow, we started with fried pickles which I’m pretty picky about and these were awesome! Definitely a must get. We decided to get wings since that’s what they were about. You can get different flavors in increments of 5, so we got four different flavors. All wings were boneless, and you can also add heat. Garlic Parmesan– probably the best I’ve ever had. Garlic-Q was recommended by our waiter and was a nice switch from bbq. Peach habenero– surprisingly not that spicy, it was a perfect balance of sweet and heat. Sweet chili– this one was my favorite but definitely had a kick! All the wings were a great size and not all breading like their competitors. My favorite part: wings came in actual dishes and not little paper trays, plus they were well covered in sauce. To top it all off they have a check-in offer. I was so happy with this place, and definitely will be back!

I’m not sure why so many reviews are mentioning this place, and Buffalo Wild Wings in the same review… not the same, not affiliated, they just happen to both have a menu of extensive wings. I had a groupon-type deal and thought this would be some place«different» to check out, away from the hype of downtown Naperville and the Rte 59 area. I came here on a Saturday night — we didn’t have to wait and got seated right away. When walking in you can seat yourself to the left(bar) side or they can seat you to the right(dining) side. We sat on the dining side. It was crowded, but not packed full. Then again, it was dinner time. Our service was average — we were waiting a little longer than usual but it wasn’t a horrible wait. I couldn’t tell if it was because it was busy, under staffed, or both. As for the food we got a queso appetizer — we had to ask for extra chips to finish it up, that was no problem. My sister got regular wings, I got boneless… both were great. Their blue cheese dressing is very tasty! We finished dinner off splitting a turtle lava cake. Yum-O!!! I’d come back here… the food was good enough to out weigh the so-so service.

We have done carry out 3 times from this location and are pretty impressed with the food and customer service! We always get boneless wings and have gotten onion rings, fries and mozzarella sticks as well. The wings are just so good! Very meaty, like no denying that’s good chicken in there! You can pick your levels of spiciness which works out great when you have more than one person in the group who can’t handle things too spicy(me) and also choose the wetness of the wings which just means more sauce which I highly recommend. The sides were all good. Loved the mozzarella sticks, they had lots of cheese. Probably could have used a little more flavor though. We’ve never dined in but the customer service at the front has always been great. I even talked to a manager the last time we went about a coupon issue and he was super cool and nice about handling it. The only thing I’d recommend is going over the food before the customer leaves. We’ve always had one mistake with our order. One time they messed up the sauce, this past time we didn’t get any blue cheese dip and the first time we were missing like 5 wings so I had to wait for them to cook it(checked the bag in the car that time). Otherwise I like this place! We will be back, great food and sauces, hopefully they can add more flavors to the menu!

A group of us went to the Naperville location this past Sunday. We had a great night. A lot of the fun and enjoyment came from our customer experience. For those short readers I recommend this location as a fun place to get great wings in a wide variety and unlike some competition you can modify the heat or enjoy the flavor. They have a wide selection of beers both craft and traditional. The staff is welcoming and fun. So let me walk you through keeping in mind sports bars are rated on a much different measure than a luxury restaurant or a regional focused restaurant. You know that my bench mark for any restaurant is based off of Food and Service. Sports Bar’s also require quality high availability HDTV programing and Will be measured on beer selection as well as bar skills. Lets face it a proper poor is just as important as the availability of said craft. Food — They have a wide selection of flavor choices based on your pallet. My crew ordered 50 split into 5 variations three were bone out all white meat fresh chicken tenders and two were traditional bone in. Additionally we ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos. — The chicken was fresh and the product came out hot and fresh. The meat was juicy and tasted great with a crispy breading on the tenders that held the sauce. The bone in had lots of meat for a wing and were cooked perfectly(Not dry or scorched) My favorite were the Peach Habanero and the Sweet Tia Chili. –The Pulled Pork Nacho were somewhat less traditional but very much like some that I recently blogged about from a joint in Nashville. I really liked them. Lots of flavor and the slaw was fresh and was maid to perfection. I am a big guy so my crew had a bit of a rough time getting their portion and I was accused of wanting to lick the plate clean. ENOUGHSAID! Service — From the time we entered the establishment to the time we left we had attention. The greeting was warm at the door and the table. We instantly built a relationship with our server«Britney» and she went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. From wet naps to brew. She brought us samplings of hotter sauces as well and explained the menu. Food and beverages were delivered promptly and the location was clean. The Manager Dave stopped at each of the tables checking to see if folks were satisfied and seemed like he knew and cared about folks and the staff. HDTV’s are everywhere and they were focused on Chicago sports. I believe all events were covered and from what I could tell were viewable from all areas of the restaurant. The audio was loud and clear but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation among friends. Beer and Beverage — Ok so they seemed to have a fair mix of crafts. I am a port/stout kind of guy and Britney offered me a great stout that I hadn’t heard of and followed on to see if I enjoyed. It was great I always order at least one Guinness a because I love it and because it is the mark of a good poor. The beers all came cold and tasted fresh with no tap filth or line taste. The glasses were clean and the cascade was perfect. My crew also enjoyed there drinks. I noticed a well rounded well drinks behind the bar as well as mid to top shelf beverages. Nothing crazy keeping in mind this isn’t a whiskey bar it is a sports bar all expectations are met. To sum it up we will return and I look forward to it. I never give 5 stars on the first visit but I am sure if quality is maintained I will improve from 4 to 5 with in the next three to four visits.
