What a disappointment! The service was awful, the wings were mediocre, the atmosphere was fab though if you are looking for a casual sports bar setting. We started with a beer and everything was going fine until our food came. It is served in paper baskets, no silverware, no plates and no server to be found. By the time we did get ONLY silverware our wings were hard, gross and cold. Ordered another round of beers and it took two trips and a new server each time. Really don't think I will be going back.

Pros: good beer, three-million wing sauces and the namesake wings are tasty, friendly service, good wings, 500 huge tv's playing football. Cons: fries are just meh. In summary, a great place to watch the game but not your figure. Would go again if I've been getting plenty of exercise.

Typical BWW. Always packed. I have been to this location about 5 times and we sat in the bar area each time and we got great, consistent service. Asian Zing and the Mango Jabanero have definitely been the top two flavors...haven't quite found a third yet.

Just ok, it really has never been that great or anything just some place to go get a beer with the guys. The wait there is pretty silly, 5 or so mins for a beer and 20+ for wings. I only go there when Brewforia is busy to get some beers and play trivia or poker. Find a new sports bar IMO

I realize this is just another franchise joint alongside Eagle, and I realize that the competition must be brutal, which is why I don't understand how this place can be so bad and still survive. Let me begin with our waiter (they all were number 32 jerseys, by the way). The best way to describe him is with the word slob! He was unshaven and looked as though he was probably unbathed.. He could have cared less that we were there, except for the fact that he was being shadowed by a trainee. I guess in an attempt to look cool, he made bad jokes and talked down to us. The trainee was excellent and looked somewhat embarrassed by the treatment we were receiving. Most meals come with some sort of sauce, of which there are numerous. I guess you are supposed to know what you want when you order, because if you don't, the rude waiter will tell you to read your menu! We finally ordered some nondescript items and waited and waited and waited. The slovenly waiter finally came by and we asked the status of our order, since the table next to us, who were seated and ordered after, had already been served. He said, "We are really slammed right now." That was odd, because the place was maybe 25% full - not sure what happens if they exceed that number. So we waited a little longer and were finally served. It was not worth the wait! If this Buffalo Wild Wings is representative of all of them, then I will have to say never again.

if i could give this place a 3.5 i would. I used to have a b-dubs when i was attending university in Virginia. Although i thoroughly enjoy their buffalo wings, this place doesnt stand up in comparison to other b-dubs i have frequented: -the wings come in a huge range of sizes, some are very tiny, some are normal. its definitely a buzzkill for how expensive this place is (beer and 18 wings is about 25 dollars, im a fatty) -the range sauces vary, some days its super saucey and hence super spicy, other days its so under-sauced that the spicest sauce barely affects the mouth. -server staff is very inexperienced, i know its a little nitpickky, but everytime i have been there, there has been some kind of screw up, or watched some waiter drop a tray. that being said, i dont mind, i just feel bad for the waiters sometimes, they may be understaffed. all this being said, i still go back because the wings here are better than the rest of anythign in the boise/eagle. if you can handle the problems associated with a new restaurant, you should definitely hit this place up. after their processes get streamlined, its a winner.

I've said it before. . .I love this place! The bartenders know my drink when I walk in the door (my mom would be so proud of me!) Great bar food, reasonable prices and I just saw that they have one in Nampa by the Edwards Theater.

I have been to Buffalo Wild Wings many times and the Habanero Mango & also the Asian Zing sauce is to die for. The food has always been good and service was excellent until this visit. We always sit at a table by the bar and usually Amanda waits on us. She is very attentive and knows what customer service is. This trip we were not so lucky. We got a very slow waitress by the name of Jan. She left our drinks sit on the bar until it was no longer cold, She sepnt too much time visiting with what appeared to be a customer she knew. I left a small tip but felt like it was too much.

I went to BWW with my wife and mom to meet some old friends from AZ and watch football Sunday. My review is always based off of realistic understanding of where I am dining. We had cold beers, hot wings and apps and good service (Angela). Since everyone was a fan of a different team we there all day to watch the games. My wife is pregnant and they kept her waters full with a smile. When a few more friends joined they were accommodating. We had buckets of beers (5 for $12) app pretzels with queso, a few different sauces with the wings, fries and later the "dessert nachos." I thought that a tortilla with ice-cream scoops and 4 cheesecake bites was kind of boring, but the girls loved it. We went to BWW and got solid BWW food and service.

My husband decided he wanted to give this place a try today in the middle of our boys' nap. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and our server Kendra was great. Very patient. She even had the foresight to bring extra straws without being asked so we were prepared when the boys accidentally pulled theirs out of their chocolate milk and dropped them. As for the food, my husband noted that while the wings were made correctly, their medium would be the equivalent of mild wings in Buffalo. My step-daughter had the sweet barbeque. I, of course, ordered something unrelated. The pulled pork slammers looked so good, I just had to try them. I had them with the honey BBQ sauce, which was tasty with an unexpected kick. Our boys had chicken tenders, which were okay. The fries are great. Crispy, flavorful and not particularly greasy. I also had a couple of Captain 'n Cokes. Not only were the servings more generous than similar establishments, but the bartender was also fairly generous with the rum. Definitely not a place for the health-conscious, but pretty nice for a sports bar and grill, and the service sets it above the average chain.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I have been to a few different Buffalo Wild Wings locations and have never been disappointed. I love their traditional wings. And Wing Tuesday makes them that much better. The atmosphere is great with all the big screen TVs. It may be a little loud, but it is not overwhelming. It is especially awesome on UFC fight nights when the place is packed and everyone is cheering for their favorite fighter. I always get great service and great food and beverages here.

This establishment has passable food, nothing to rave about, and a festive atmosphere, however, the last time we were there, whoever cashed us out added a $10 tip on to a $9 order, even after I had left over 20% in cash as a tip at the table. In short, I am never going back and encourage others to seek better quality service and food elsewhere in the valley.

Food isn't bad and the service was pretty good too... I just hated how loud it was in the restaurant. I know you come here to watch games but if its to loud were you can't even think or talk to the person next to you than I'd rather do a to go order. But it is a fun place to have a good time with friends and watch a game or two and have some drinks and good food!

Eh. It's okay. Pro: atmosphere, good for game day, great views of DIRECTV Sunday Ticket, and ESPN Game Plan. Staff is great. Con: chicken is frozen. No reservations. Get there early for a seat for your favorite game.

One of the only few places in town that are opened late with decent food. Been here many times and have had really good service even with big tables but not tonight. Waitress made about six mistakes. That is not typical but one thing I have come to realize is it's always loud in there. It's hard to carry on a conversation. Other than that the service is typically good with good discounts on food and open late. They have discounted bone in wings on Tuesday's for $.40 each and $.60 for boneless wings on Thursdays. During the week after 9 pm you get buy one appetizer and get one free. With all that said BWW is a fun place to hang out. They have tons of TV's for all your favorite sporting events. Garlic Parmesan wings and Asian Zing wings are really good. Try them out.

A whole industry seems to have sprung up selling waste chicken parts for absurdly high prices, out of cavernously obnoxious plebeian beer-hall type places overrun with TV's set to endlessly blaring "sports" events and commentatings, and served by boorish fat guys in T-shirts or girls who've never worked in a restaurant before but got hired for having oversized udders they're willing to stick in your face. Lovely. I'll be back there in... somewhere around... Yeesh. .

Let's be honest here; you do not come here strictly for the food. You come here to watch the game with your friends on a plethora of tv's and share in the fan comradery. Their happy hour deals are good. Their sliders and nachos are always tasty. Although they come up with new sauces I always stick with my favorites: asian zing and honey bbq (yes, I'm a baby with heat). THE BEST server you can ever have is Troy. Ask for him if you can and you will not be sorry. Just be sure to tip him for the service he will give you that is far superior to what you would get from the young kids there.

I've always loved the atmosphere of BDubs. Ever since my first football game here. It's just a fun environment, full of sports-lovers who want to have a good time. The service has always been amazing (as long as you know it's not super fast. Due to each server having up to 10 tables) although, I'm used to fast service. Buffalo Wild Wings is based on quality. It takes a little while to get what you want, but when you get it. It's totally worth it. Servers are friendly, and the beer is always cold. Best way to watch football in my opinion.

I went here tonight for dinner and I will just say that I will make sure that the next time I want wings, I will be going somewhere else. For starters, the service was terrible. The waitress had a massive attitude problem, who also apparently could not comprehend carrying more than one item at a time. Add also, it took what seemed like forever to check on us. (and no i wasn't drunk, she was just slow as could be) When asking her about items on the menu, she completely quoted it incorrectly resulting in us spending unnecessary money because she was wrong. Worried that this waitress may actually have the nerve to spit in my food, I decided to hold off calling out the many mistakes in the restaurant. Finally when it was time to go, our food had to sit for 30 minutes before we decided to get up, find her and get the boxes upon our own request. We had quite a few items to carry without offering a bag to carry it all in. I will never be back to this location again and I will make sure that our company outings are held at another location. The only reason I even considered one star is because the wings were amazing. I'm guessing our waitress had nothing to do with those...

Alway a fun environment. Lots of tvs and music. Wide variety of sauces for wings and other options as well. Daily specials. Food quality is good. I've had days of speedy service and seen it lag at other times. Overall it is on my short list for lunch.

Caroline T.
Pros: BWW has a plethora of tvs, so if you're there to watch a game, prepare to watch multiple games at once which is great! Staff is also pretty friendly (usually). Cons: Food is average at best and overpriced. Beer is ridiculously overpriced also.

Normally not a fan of Buffalo Wild wings. I have been to a few of them in other states. And to this one and the one in Nampa a few time for a game or after an important meeting with big shoots. Another words after a round of golf with the buddy's :). . And just have not been a fan of the mega sports bars... And the wings are ok. And I've never done a review because isn't not horrible but it's not great either. So why a review now? Because I'm starting to like coming here more. I tryed some dry rub wings I really liked and the happy hour isn't to bad.. I like to add my own sauce because I was born a dipping and I shall remain that way till the day I die. I will always try a mom and pop place first but will come here due to peer pressure from the guys! And now be ok with it! Serve seems to be pretty freindly the last few time as well.

Eric C.
Buffalo Wild Wings is a good place to come watch sports occasionally and actually has better than average food based on the 5 or 6 things I've had off the menu (I recommend the fried pickles and lemon pepper wings). The only problem I really have with this place is the information overload. It's loud, there's about 40 TVs each showing different games, every member of the staff is crazy busy flitting from table to table... It is extremely difficult to focus on a single sporting event. Frankly, after an hour spent here you will begin to feel exhausted. That said, give it a try on a football Sunday and see if BWW is for you.

Andy C.
Good food, service was fine and management stopped by our table to make sure everything was ok. I do love the wings here, but it is overall a better experience if you can come in with some NFL or college games on.

We LOVE BWW and now that we have an infant, it's a rare occasion that we get to be social. Having some free time (thanks mom and da), we thought we'd check out BWW because of our past amazing experiences. Our server could have cared less that we were there. She seemed to be going through the motions to bring us beverages and food in order to get a tip. We were at BWW between 2:40 and 3:35 and the bar was rather empty. We didn't demand this and that, we just wanted polite timely service. Needless to say, Amanda was not there and did not serve us and that was 99% of our problem. We'll give this BWW another chance in the future but currently, this BWW is on our skip list.

HOME OF THE MEAN MUGGING WAITRESS ALISA! I recently ate at this location for happy hour and was given the worst service ever. After waiting for almost 20 minutes probably longer for the check and multiple attempts to get the waitresses attention, she was busy socializing with her coworkers we decided to get up and leave and if I had been asked to pay on the way out we would have... Not the best idea but it finally got her attention. Rather than asking us to pay she reached into my friends front pocket inappropriately touching him and stealing his car keys, his own personal property and then locked him out of the restaurant because it was at the end of the night. The manager then came out telling us she would give us the keys if we paid even though we never refused to pay we were just never given the chance to. I never though it was ok to touch a customer let alone reach into their front pocket and steal their personal property. I should've called the cops for assaulting my friend and grand left for stealing his car keys. In the end we ended up paying and they finally gave back the car keys after holding them hostage. Beware of Alisa the manager Megan or any of the girls that work the late shifts cuz they have awful customer service and rather than handle things the correct way they like to steal their customers things and do things illegally.

BWW is festive and fun inside. They also have an outside deck. It is quite noise. Lots of television sets playing sports TV - golf, soccer, basketball, polo, swimming, and drag racing when I visited them a second time with my son. My burger had a large piece of a plastic bag in it. The server explained it was from the BBQ sauce most likely, or else the add-on steak bits they put on it. They didn't even comp me my meal. I asked for free dessert or anything, and was denied. If this server, who was friendly and kind all things considered, worked for me, I would have shown him the door for not escalating the issue to me as his manager. Bad for business. I went to use the restroom before I left, and discovered that they have 2 urinals and one toilet stall within the men's bathroom. WHAT?!? For a restaurant of that size, you'd think they'd have 3 toilet stalls at least. I waited for 3 songs on the radio, or roughly 9 minutes, to use the toilet. Ridiculous. All the while my young child was out there waiting for me to get back to my table. I will not be back a third time, and I advise you to avoid this place as well.

Have been to BWW about 10 times in the last 2 years. It is exactly what it is supposed to be. Wings, beer and sports. The atmosphere is fun and the wings are perfect each time. Had great service, friendly and genuine, many times. The place is usually packed so that has to tell you something. Great place to take a client or date. Amazing happy hour too! If you want fine dining you are in the wrong place. This is a true sports pub. Only down side, the beer is too expensive when its not happy hour and they don't fill the glass. Hope that helps.

Wonderful place for dinner, a night out on the weekend, or just a quick stop after work. Check out the awesome early (2-6 pm) AND late (9-close) happy hour menus. I love this place! And you can't beat the 20+ flavors of wings to choose from. You can go from mild to spicy in a matter of seconds! The beer selection is superb as well.

I've come here with a group of friends several Sundays to watch me some football. So this review is basically an average of four different experiences. I will say that it's BWW, nothing fancy, though I would never expect that. My first visit however was almost distressing. They must have 15 TVs in the bar area alone.. talk about sensory overload. I had no idea where to look or focus and kept spinning around in my seat. I left with a headache. My second visit was more successful. I first found the TV I wished to watch, then arranged my seat accordingly. Logical, yes, but I was too overwhelmed my first visit to even figure this concept out! I generally get a beer (Sam OctoberFest) and something to nibble on. My most recent discovery is the breakfast wrap which is super tasty. I have found that my experience varies greatly depending on the server. Once our server (who I won't name.. I do save my receipts) went MIA for so long we started flagging down other randoms. Maybe it wasn't her fault, as it seemed she was waiting tables both inside and outside and perhaps had a difficult time managing that. But still.. other weeks I've seen her give more attention to her cell phone than her tables. I do wish to commend Kaylnn (she's helped us twice now), who manages to put correct orders in and follow up in a timely manner with a smile on her face during what I imagine to be a tough shift to work. All in all, BWW is a fun place to watch a game and catch up with friends. Plus, I've never had to wait in line for the bathroom.

I am giving this BWW a rating higher than normal because of the exceptional service we received once seated. Our waiter, Dillon, was fantastic! He was on the ball, polite, and went out of his way to provide a great dinning experience. I was not overly impressed when we first arrived as we were told that there was a 20 minute wait. I get that it was boneless wing night, but they had 2 or 3 empty tables and we were the only ones waiting. Needless to say our actual wait time was about 7 minutes, but seriously it made me mad when I was told the wait time of 20. The beer selection was quite disappointing especially with the great local craft breweries nearby. I get having the generic Coors Light and Bud selection, but I think this BWW should stock an ample supply of local brews.

Hate how they nickel and dime you for every little thing like ranch dressing is an added cost. The waitress brought more chips to us for our chips and queso and charged us .99 when she didn't ask if we wanted more she just brought more she also charged us for salsa. And every time we go 3/4 the wait staff is pregnant. That's just an added bonus I guess.

My wife and I had seen this place many times before. We love to go into this area and eat at ling and Louie's. So today, we decided to head in to see what they had. After all, it looked nice enough form the outside. Well, you cant judge a book by its cover. This saying works just as well for things not looking good, that actually are good on the inside, as it does for things that look appealing on the outside, but on the inside are nasty. When we entered, we found that this is a sports bar. This should have been our first clue to just walk away. I have yet to find a sports bar in Boise that is any good. This place in no exception. Walking in, every space on every wall is filled with TVs. Small TVs, large TVs, and mid sized TV's. This made for a weird deco. Most every TV was turned to a different sports channel. So it was impossible to watch one and not be distracted by the two next to the one you were trying to watch. We were sat in a booth right by the greeter station. Since this was a sports bar, we expected noise and people being rambunctious. What we did not expect was that the noise and rambunctious would come from the staff that worked there. The staff all stood around the greeter station and yapped. They yapped and yapped and yapped the entire time we were there. It was like being in a room with a bunch of teenagers having a slumber party. It was that annoying. Then came the food. My wife had a hamburger. The hamburger was bland and tasteless. It was a flattop burger and not even a good one. I have had better burgers from McDonalds. I had the boneless wings. I chose 2 sauces. The 1st one was the Asian. The second one was habanero/mango. The Asian was supposed to be infused with Ginger and Garlic. The flavor of the sauce was bad. I could not taste any ginger or garlic. It was just plain not good. The Habanero/Mango was hot. But thats it. It was just hot. No flavor at all and certainly not mango. The last thing was the fries. Flat, overly salty and flavorless. When we got our Check, we noticed one more issue, which made us flaming mad. My wife had asked for Mayo, Mustard, and ketchup on her hamburger. On our Check, we noticed that this joke of a place actually charged us for Mayo. Really! Are you kidding me? I have never been charged extra for mayo before. This place will never see my business again. We wont be back and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Usually come here on Tuesdays when the wings are 65 cents so your able to stock up pretty good! Overall this place has a really fun environment when you come in with a lot of friends because there are TV's all over the place playing the best sports games that are on. Really relaxed environment so you are able to enjoy yourself and company to the fullest.

Typical BWW, not too much to review, if you've been to one you've been to them all. BUT, this review is for the take out, as I've only gotten food to go here and sat at the bar while I was waiting. I ordered 15 wings and some fried pickles, but I get home and saw 10 wings!! I paid the full 15 wing price. Gotta say I was disappointed, I flew in that day for work and was hungry. Would've went back and got the 5 wings but it was a 10 minute drive away from my hotel. If I was charged for 10 wings and got wings, sure, but... I lost 5 wings worth. The bar was OK, though. Very slow day as it was a Monday. I'll of course be back since it's the only BWW in the area, hopefully my order is OK next time.

This place is definitely hit and miss. I don't mind the loud noise, I don't mind waiting longer when it's busy, and usually the staff is really friendly. However, I do mind when I find a hair in my wings, get it re-made, find a second hair in my new wings, get it re-made again and then for the third and final time...I find yet another one. ALL IN THE SAME VISIT. Needless to say, I was incredibly grossed out and walked out hungry. I should have gotten the hint after the first hair. Haven't been back since.

Chris G.
Back today for lunch; same co-worker, and a guest. This time I had the "boneless" wings. Better choice...I didn't expect excellent bone-in wings like I did last time, so I wasn't disappointed. Same waiter, same BOGO, same prices, same issues, but I can now say, if you go here, get the boneless wings and you'll be OK.

Food a little pricey for the value. I absolutely HATED the nachos. Overly salty, otherwise flavorless chips with sparse toppings. Charged me for much-needed salsa, which was also poor. Wings OK, better at Hooters.

The first Idaho location of Buffalo Wild Wings is now open in Meridian next to St. Luke's hospital that is earning a lot of buzz! Buffalo Wild Wings at 3223 E. Louise Drive is part of a chain that started years ago back in Minnesota and is purported to be one of the fastest growing restaurants in the United States. We arrived towards the end of the lunch hour and found the place hopping with lots of young people playing poker and trivia on hand held devices. It was a Tuesday which we learned was "Wild Wing Day" with .45 cent wings all day long. Thursday is .60 cent boneless. We were seated near the front door. The large projection screens mounted near the ceiling were not very visible because the light pouring through the glass doors on a sunny spring day made it difficult to view the picture. Had we known this we'd have opted to sit in the large bar area which offers better views of the televisions. Buffalo Wild Wings is known for their wings, and their sauce. There are 14 kinds of signature barbecue sauce ranging all the way from sweet & mild to something called blazin'. The mid-spice range sauces are the most popular: Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings. Tangy, sticky and delicious! There are sandwiches, wraps, burgers, chicken tenders & wings, ribs and combo plates to choose from. A red star depicts customer favorites on the menu. We ordered Honey Barbeque Chicken Salad ($7.29) and . Our entrees weren't as exciting as the wings. My salad was not very large and was poorly presented in a black plastic container. Iceberg lettuce with freshly shaved carrots contained disheveled shredded cheese on one side, chicken in the middle, and pico de gallo on the other side. A small plastic cup held the dressing. This was by far one of the poorest salad presentations ever seen. What's with all the plastic? Al Gore would have a fit! The only redeeming quality was the juicy barbecued chicken in the salad. The cheeseburger was good but a bit overcooked for our liking (all meat at Buffalo Wild Wings is cooked medium-well) and was missing the barbecue sauce. The flavorless paper-thin bacon did not enhance the burger in any way. Accompanying fries were tasteless. If a teenager leaves fries sitting on a plate you know something isn't quite right! Service was inattentive. We asked the waitress for mustard; twice. Beverage refills were never provided and had to be requested. Our check was brought to the table with the assumption we would not be ordering dessert. That's too bad as there's cheesecake, apple pie and a chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream, all priced at $4.79. We left with the impression the servers are given too many tables and can't keep tabs on everyone, or perhaps a much larger lunch crowd showed up than expected? It was, after all, Wing Day! Since this restaurant has only been open for a few months we'll let them get a few kinks worked out then return again because the wings sure are great, the crowd is young, and the atmosphere is lively! Happy Hour (as of April 2009) is $1 off all drinks, Monday through Friday from 3 - 6 pm. From 10 pm until closing, nightly, get $1 off all drinks and .45 cent wings.

I was driving through town on a Tuesday night and thought to myself, man that town is peaceful and quiet that night. Stopped in Buffalo Wild Wings in Meridian and found out why it was so quiet. EVERYONE IN TOWN was at Buffalo Wild Wings for .40 cent wing night! The energy was amazing! Idaho is known for having some of the friendliest residents in the country and I guess on Tuesday nights they all gather at this Buffalo Wild Wings to have some fun. And the cool thing is, they welcome strangers right into the mix! I travel all the time and go to BWW's whenever I find one because I enjoy the energy they generate and this one tops the list! Its a must for anyone who is looking for an experience when they spend their money! Now its probably not the best place if your a foodie as it is bar food. Great bar food with 14 sauces I must admit since you can put any of their sauces on any of the menu items, but definitely not meant for foodies! Its good for those folks who want to loosen up, laugh a lot with friends with every sporting event available on like 50 big screens going in the background. Its great for folks who want to experience Idaho hospitality at its finest. The staff and the customers are all some of the friendliest folks I've ever had the pleasure of dining out with!

I use to be a huge fan of Buffalo Wild Wings but then after eating here so much its become just an a-ok place to eat at. I always end up eating here if I can't decide on where to eat. The environment is good and the workers are really friendly. However, there was one waiter who said I looked like his friend whom is a guy. Hmmm...thanks for saying I look like a guy? Rude much? Yeah, I don't see him working there anymore so I'm glad. He even forgot to give us back our card after he charged it. The only thing I really like about this place is their boneless wings. The sauces are alright. I would recommend everyone to try it out at least once.

$1.25 per wing?!!! I love BWW traditional wings, however prices have skyrocketed at this location (and franchise-wide) in the past year. On any day besides Tues, traditional wings are now running about $1.00-$1.25/per wing for orders of 5, 10, or 15 wings. Tues .40 cent wing night went up to .70 wing night. The only night it is worth going is Tuesday .70 wing night. The service is generally pretty good at this location, although phoning in a carry out order when it's busy usually involves being put on hold for a long time.

I guess I am just not a fan of Buffalo Wild Wings no matter where it is located. I feel like the food is just average, nothing spectacular. Especially now knowing they get their chicken from Tyson. I felt the server lacked social skills. My boyfriend got the boneless wings which were not that good. I felt like I was eating in a school room cafeteria to be honest. I would rather eat at a different restaurant and from now on I will.

Here's my breakdown of BWW for you in stars. One Star- Open Late even durning the week One Star- Late Night Happy Hour One Star- Cheap But other then that, I was NOT impressed. The drinks were all juice when I swear I asked for a VODKA and cranberry. The service was all right. The whole experience was ah for me. Especially for the drive.

I have visited both locations and think Nampa have the best management by far. I was among the guests to get a free meal and take 3 friends along the day before they opened when they did their trial run. One thing to say about that why invite people in and then have no type of feedback survey or card what's the point? Cons: every time I have gone in unless I get wings my order was wrong,wait time is always pretty long too. Every sandwch I have tried has been gross sorry its true! Stick to what u do best WINGS or fix the menu.music can be way too loud Pros; love the wings Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings yum! They have specials tues and thurs Will go back when I am cravin wings but won't eat any of the other menu items

Matt D.
Awesome wings! The service is not amazing but it's pretty good for a sports bar. Go there on thursdays to get the boneless wings for 70 cents a piece. Honey BBQ and Asian Zing are great sauces to try.

Ehh...? That's kind of what I end up thinking as I leave Buffalo Wild Wings. I've been here about 3 times and every time it's been JUST ok. The first visit, it took me (and I timed it) 45 minutes to get a beer and our server told me 3 times it was "On it's way." Ok, it takes 1 minute to pour a beer...what's with the other 44? By the time I got it, I didn't even feel like paying the 5 or so bucks for it. Got a salad and the chicken seemed undercooked and lukewarm, not a good start for a wings place. Second and third visit, our food has just been ok. Absolutely nothing to write home about, or even crave on a later date. My boyfriend hates it here and I end up just getting a side salad every time we meet friends here, because I know it won't get messed up or be mis-cooked. NEver a good experience and we don't go here by choice.

Our server Amanda did a fantastic job! The Wings were delicious! My daughter devoured her burger spit must have been good. The staff did a great job of making us feel welcome.

First time here. I went with a co-worker and we had a good time. Great prices on wings and they were pretty good. Very friendly service and cute waitress. Parking is ok but not the best. All we had was apps so I cant saying anything on the main food. I would deffently go back.

Always a great time! Trivia. Poker . Great drafts! And tons of different BBQ choices for any pallet. Anything from fried pickles to classic wings to delish nachos! I always have good memories and great service! I'm also quite addicted to the wild berry lemonades

So I'm not a HUGE fan of chain restaurants, but living where we live it's impossible to completely escape them and Buffalo Wild Wings is one of the few I actually like! For a sports fan, you CAN NOT beat it...every sporting event you'd want to see is available on about 100 NEW tv's. The food is pretty straight forward bar-type food, but the wings really are good with a variety of sauces ranging from mild to insanely hot. The place is kid friendly as well and have had our 2 year old in the dining room many times. Was great to have them up and running during March Madness!

What a disappointment! The service was awful, the wings were mediocre, the atmosphere was fab though if you are looking for a casual sports bar setting. We started with a beer and everything was going fine until our food came. It is served in paper baskets, no silverware, no plates and no server to be found. By the time we did get ONLY silverware our wings were hard, gross and cold. Ordered another round of beers and it took two trips and a new server each time. Really don't think I will be going back.
(2)Mizz S.
Pros: good beer, three-million wing sauces and the namesake wings are tasty, friendly service, good wings, 500 huge tv's playing football. Cons: fries are just meh. In summary, a great place to watch the game but not your figure. Would go again if I've been getting plenty of exercise.
(4)S G.
Typical BWW. Always packed. I have been to this location about 5 times and we sat in the bar area each time and we got great, consistent service. Asian Zing and the Mango Jabanero have definitely been the top two flavors...haven't quite found a third yet.
(4)alex c.
Just ok, it really has never been that great or anything just some place to go get a beer with the guys. The wait there is pretty silly, 5 or so mins for a beer and 20+ for wings. I only go there when Brewforia is busy to get some beers and play trivia or poker. Find a new sports bar IMO
(3)Larry E.
I realize this is just another franchise joint alongside Eagle, and I realize that the competition must be brutal, which is why I don't understand how this place can be so bad and still survive. Let me begin with our waiter (they all were number 32 jerseys, by the way). The best way to describe him is with the word slob! He was unshaven and looked as though he was probably unbathed.. He could have cared less that we were there, except for the fact that he was being shadowed by a trainee. I guess in an attempt to look cool, he made bad jokes and talked down to us. The trainee was excellent and looked somewhat embarrassed by the treatment we were receiving. Most meals come with some sort of sauce, of which there are numerous. I guess you are supposed to know what you want when you order, because if you don't, the rude waiter will tell you to read your menu! We finally ordered some nondescript items and waited and waited and waited. The slovenly waiter finally came by and we asked the status of our order, since the table next to us, who were seated and ordered after, had already been served. He said, "We are really slammed right now." That was odd, because the place was maybe 25% full - not sure what happens if they exceed that number. So we waited a little longer and were finally served. It was not worth the wait! If this Buffalo Wild Wings is representative of all of them, then I will have to say never again.

if i could give this place a 3.5 i would. I used to have a b-dubs when i was attending university in Virginia. Although i thoroughly enjoy their buffalo wings, this place doesnt stand up in comparison to other b-dubs i have frequented: -the wings come in a huge range of sizes, some are very tiny, some are normal. its definitely a buzzkill for how expensive this place is (beer and 18 wings is about 25 dollars, im a fatty) -the range sauces vary, some days its super saucey and hence super spicy, other days its so under-sauced that the spicest sauce barely affects the mouth. -server staff is very inexperienced, i know its a little nitpickky, but everytime i have been there, there has been some kind of screw up, or watched some waiter drop a tray. that being said, i dont mind, i just feel bad for the waiters sometimes, they may be understaffed. all this being said, i still go back because the wings here are better than the rest of anythign in the boise/eagle. if you can handle the problems associated with a new restaurant, you should definitely hit this place up. after their processes get streamlined, its a winner.
(3)Amy J.
I've said it before. . .I love this place! The bartenders know my drink when I walk in the door (my mom would be so proud of me!) Great bar food, reasonable prices and I just saw that they have one in Nampa by the Edwards Theater.
(5)Lou M.
I have been to Buffalo Wild Wings many times and the Habanero Mango & also the Asian Zing sauce is to die for. The food has always been good and service was excellent until this visit. We always sit at a table by the bar and usually Amanda waits on us. She is very attentive and knows what customer service is. This trip we were not so lucky. We got a very slow waitress by the name of Jan. She left our drinks sit on the bar until it was no longer cold, She sepnt too much time visiting with what appeared to be a customer she knew. I left a small tip but felt like it was too much.

I went to BWW with my wife and mom to meet some old friends from AZ and watch football Sunday. My review is always based off of realistic understanding of where I am dining. We had cold beers, hot wings and apps and good service (Angela). Since everyone was a fan of a different team we there all day to watch the games. My wife is pregnant and they kept her waters full with a smile. When a few more friends joined they were accommodating. We had buckets of beers (5 for $12) app pretzels with queso, a few different sauces with the wings, fries and later the "dessert nachos." I thought that a tortilla with ice-cream scoops and 4 cheesecake bites was kind of boring, but the girls loved it. We went to BWW and got solid BWW food and service.
(4)Aly W.
My husband decided he wanted to give this place a try today in the middle of our boys' nap. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and our server Kendra was great. Very patient. She even had the foresight to bring extra straws without being asked so we were prepared when the boys accidentally pulled theirs out of their chocolate milk and dropped them. As for the food, my husband noted that while the wings were made correctly, their medium would be the equivalent of mild wings in Buffalo. My step-daughter had the sweet barbeque. I, of course, ordered something unrelated. The pulled pork slammers looked so good, I just had to try them. I had them with the honey BBQ sauce, which was tasty with an unexpected kick. Our boys had chicken tenders, which were okay. The fries are great. Crispy, flavorful and not particularly greasy. I also had a couple of Captain 'n Cokes. Not only were the servings more generous than similar establishments, but the bartender was also fairly generous with the rum. Definitely not a place for the health-conscious, but pretty nice for a sports bar and grill, and the service sets it above the average chain.

The weekend starts early!! Late night hours Thurs-Sat!! Also, happy hour specials change daily!!!!
(5)Shane O.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I have been to a few different Buffalo Wild Wings locations and have never been disappointed. I love their traditional wings. And Wing Tuesday makes them that much better. The atmosphere is great with all the big screen TVs. It may be a little loud, but it is not overwhelming. It is especially awesome on UFC fight nights when the place is packed and everyone is cheering for their favorite fighter. I always get great service and great food and beverages here.

This establishment has passable food, nothing to rave about, and a festive atmosphere, however, the last time we were there, whoever cashed us out added a $10 tip on to a $9 order, even after I had left over 20% in cash as a tip at the table. In short, I am never going back and encourage others to seek better quality service and food elsewhere in the valley.
(1)Kapono L.
Food isn't bad and the service was pretty good too... I just hated how loud it was in the restaurant. I know you come here to watch games but if its to loud were you can't even think or talk to the person next to you than I'd rather do a to go order. But it is a fun place to have a good time with friends and watch a game or two and have some drinks and good food!
(3)Darling S.
Eh. It's okay. Pro: atmosphere, good for game day, great views of DIRECTV Sunday Ticket, and ESPN Game Plan. Staff is great. Con: chicken is frozen. No reservations. Get there early for a seat for your favorite game.
(2)Lino R.
One of the only few places in town that are opened late with decent food. Been here many times and have had really good service even with big tables but not tonight. Waitress made about six mistakes. That is not typical but one thing I have come to realize is it's always loud in there. It's hard to carry on a conversation. Other than that the service is typically good with good discounts on food and open late. They have discounted bone in wings on Tuesday's for $.40 each and $.60 for boneless wings on Thursdays. During the week after 9 pm you get buy one appetizer and get one free. With all that said BWW is a fun place to hang out. They have tons of TV's for all your favorite sporting events. Garlic Parmesan wings and Asian Zing wings are really good. Try them out.
(3)peter c.
A whole industry seems to have sprung up selling waste chicken parts for absurdly high prices, out of cavernously obnoxious plebeian beer-hall type places overrun with TV's set to endlessly blaring "sports" events and commentatings, and served by boorish fat guys in T-shirts or girls who've never worked in a restaurant before but got hired for having oversized udders they're willing to stick in your face. Lovely. I'll be back there in... somewhere around... Yeesh. .
(1)Ashley R.
The wait staff was very friendly and the drink prices were great. The food was far from exceptional but the vibe kept us staying for drinks.
(3)Leanne S.
NO BEER! And not informed of no alcohol before being seated waited 15 minutes for a table and there were plenty open. And the food is slow to come.
(1)ILove Foo D.
Let's be honest here; you do not come here strictly for the food. You come here to watch the game with your friends on a plethora of tv's and share in the fan comradery. Their happy hour deals are good. Their sliders and nachos are always tasty. Although they come up with new sauces I always stick with my favorites: asian zing and honey bbq (yes, I'm a baby with heat). THE BEST server you can ever have is Troy. Ask for him if you can and you will not be sorry. Just be sure to tip him for the service he will give you that is far superior to what you would get from the young kids there.
(4)Sara H.
I've always loved the atmosphere of BDubs. Ever since my first football game here. It's just a fun environment, full of sports-lovers who want to have a good time. The service has always been amazing (as long as you know it's not super fast. Due to each server having up to 10 tables) although, I'm used to fast service. Buffalo Wild Wings is based on quality. It takes a little while to get what you want, but when you get it. It's totally worth it. Servers are friendly, and the beer is always cold. Best way to watch football in my opinion.
(5)John T.
I went here tonight for dinner and I will just say that I will make sure that the next time I want wings, I will be going somewhere else. For starters, the service was terrible. The waitress had a massive attitude problem, who also apparently could not comprehend carrying more than one item at a time. Add also, it took what seemed like forever to check on us. (and no i wasn't drunk, she was just slow as could be) When asking her about items on the menu, she completely quoted it incorrectly resulting in us spending unnecessary money because she was wrong. Worried that this waitress may actually have the nerve to spit in my food, I decided to hold off calling out the many mistakes in the restaurant. Finally when it was time to go, our food had to sit for 30 minutes before we decided to get up, find her and get the boxes upon our own request. We had quite a few items to carry without offering a bag to carry it all in. I will never be back to this location again and I will make sure that our company outings are held at another location. The only reason I even considered one star is because the wings were amazing. I'm guessing our waitress had nothing to do with those...
(1)Doug B.
Alway a fun environment. Lots of tvs and music. Wide variety of sauces for wings and other options as well. Daily specials. Food quality is good. I've had days of speedy service and seen it lag at other times. Overall it is on my short list for lunch.
(4)Caroline T.
Pros: BWW has a plethora of tvs, so if you're there to watch a game, prepare to watch multiple games at once which is great! Staff is also pretty friendly (usually). Cons: Food is average at best and overpriced. Beer is ridiculously overpriced also.
(2)Chris H.
Normally not a fan of Buffalo Wild wings. I have been to a few of them in other states. And to this one and the one in Nampa a few time for a game or after an important meeting with big shoots. Another words after a round of golf with the buddy's :). . And just have not been a fan of the mega sports bars... And the wings are ok. And I've never done a review because isn't not horrible but it's not great either. So why a review now? Because I'm starting to like coming here more. I tryed some dry rub wings I really liked and the happy hour isn't to bad.. I like to add my own sauce because I was born a dipping and I shall remain that way till the day I die. I will always try a mom and pop place first but will come here due to peer pressure from the guys! And now be ok with it! Serve seems to be pretty freindly the last few time as well.
(3)Eric C.
Buffalo Wild Wings is a good place to come watch sports occasionally and actually has better than average food based on the 5 or 6 things I've had off the menu (I recommend the fried pickles and lemon pepper wings). The only problem I really have with this place is the information overload. It's loud, there's about 40 TVs each showing different games, every member of the staff is crazy busy flitting from table to table... It is extremely difficult to focus on a single sporting event. Frankly, after an hour spent here you will begin to feel exhausted. That said, give it a try on a football Sunday and see if BWW is for you.
(3)Andy C.
Good food, service was fine and management stopped by our table to make sure everything was ok. I do love the wings here, but it is overall a better experience if you can come in with some NFL or college games on.
(4)John C.
We LOVE BWW and now that we have an infant, it's a rare occasion that we get to be social. Having some free time (thanks mom and da), we thought we'd check out BWW because of our past amazing experiences. Our server could have cared less that we were there. She seemed to be going through the motions to bring us beverages and food in order to get a tip. We were at BWW between 2:40 and 3:35 and the bar was rather empty. We didn't demand this and that, we just wanted polite timely service. Needless to say, Amanda was not there and did not serve us and that was 99% of our problem. We'll give this BWW another chance in the future but currently, this BWW is on our skip list.
(2)Jessica R.
HOME OF THE MEAN MUGGING WAITRESS ALISA! I recently ate at this location for happy hour and was given the worst service ever. After waiting for almost 20 minutes probably longer for the check and multiple attempts to get the waitresses attention, she was busy socializing with her coworkers we decided to get up and leave and if I had been asked to pay on the way out we would have... Not the best idea but it finally got her attention. Rather than asking us to pay she reached into my friends front pocket inappropriately touching him and stealing his car keys, his own personal property and then locked him out of the restaurant because it was at the end of the night. The manager then came out telling us she would give us the keys if we paid even though we never refused to pay we were just never given the chance to. I never though it was ok to touch a customer let alone reach into their front pocket and steal their personal property. I should've called the cops for assaulting my friend and grand left for stealing his car keys. In the end we ended up paying and they finally gave back the car keys after holding them hostage. Beware of Alisa the manager Megan or any of the girls that work the late shifts cuz they have awful customer service and rather than handle things the correct way they like to steal their customers things and do things illegally.
(1)Jaws S.
Had lunch with a friend there the other day, was fast service and they were semi busy. Server had the orders in and food on the table in about 10-12 minutes. I got the BBQ burger plate and it was quite good.
(3)David L.
BWW is festive and fun inside. They also have an outside deck. It is quite noise. Lots of television sets playing sports TV - golf, soccer, basketball, polo, swimming, and drag racing when I visited them a second time with my son. My burger had a large piece of a plastic bag in it. The server explained it was from the BBQ sauce most likely, or else the add-on steak bits they put on it. They didn't even comp me my meal. I asked for free dessert or anything, and was denied. If this server, who was friendly and kind all things considered, worked for me, I would have shown him the door for not escalating the issue to me as his manager. Bad for business. I went to use the restroom before I left, and discovered that they have 2 urinals and one toilet stall within the men's bathroom. WHAT?!? For a restaurant of that size, you'd think they'd have 3 toilet stalls at least. I waited for 3 songs on the radio, or roughly 9 minutes, to use the toilet. Ridiculous. All the while my young child was out there waiting for me to get back to my table. I will not be back a third time, and I advise you to avoid this place as well.
(1)Joe A.
Have been to BWW about 10 times in the last 2 years. It is exactly what it is supposed to be. Wings, beer and sports. The atmosphere is fun and the wings are perfect each time. Had great service, friendly and genuine, many times. The place is usually packed so that has to tell you something. Great place to take a client or date. Amazing happy hour too! If you want fine dining you are in the wrong place. This is a true sports pub. Only down side, the beer is too expensive when its not happy hour and they don't fill the glass. Hope that helps.
(4)Charles M.
Wonderful place for dinner, a night out on the weekend, or just a quick stop after work. Check out the awesome early (2-6 pm) AND late (9-close) happy hour menus. I love this place! And you can't beat the 20+ flavors of wings to choose from. You can go from mild to spicy in a matter of seconds! The beer selection is superb as well.
(5)Eric H.
Such a great place for friends! I bring my friends here all if the time and we just have so much fun! Friends are great and this place is the friends capital! Shout out to my friends in this review! Thanks guys, you're great friends
(5)Dillon F.
The servers have the shittiest service and the managers do not really help either. The manager was snotty and was rude about us being out of state.
(1)Allison B.
I've come here with a group of friends several Sundays to watch me some football. So this review is basically an average of four different experiences. I will say that it's BWW, nothing fancy, though I would never expect that. My first visit however was almost distressing. They must have 15 TVs in the bar area alone.. talk about sensory overload. I had no idea where to look or focus and kept spinning around in my seat. I left with a headache. My second visit was more successful. I first found the TV I wished to watch, then arranged my seat accordingly. Logical, yes, but I was too overwhelmed my first visit to even figure this concept out! I generally get a beer (Sam OctoberFest) and something to nibble on. My most recent discovery is the breakfast wrap which is super tasty. I have found that my experience varies greatly depending on the server. Once our server (who I won't name.. I do save my receipts) went MIA for so long we started flagging down other randoms. Maybe it wasn't her fault, as it seemed she was waiting tables both inside and outside and perhaps had a difficult time managing that. But still.. other weeks I've seen her give more attention to her cell phone than her tables. I do wish to commend Kaylnn (she's helped us twice now), who manages to put correct orders in and follow up in a timely manner with a smile on her face during what I imagine to be a tough shift to work. All in all, BWW is a fun place to watch a game and catch up with friends. Plus, I've never had to wait in line for the bathroom.
(3)Dale B.
I am giving this BWW a rating higher than normal because of the exceptional service we received once seated. Our waiter, Dillon, was fantastic! He was on the ball, polite, and went out of his way to provide a great dinning experience. I was not overly impressed when we first arrived as we were told that there was a 20 minute wait. I get that it was boneless wing night, but they had 2 or 3 empty tables and we were the only ones waiting. Needless to say our actual wait time was about 7 minutes, but seriously it made me mad when I was told the wait time of 20. The beer selection was quite disappointing especially with the great local craft breweries nearby. I get having the generic Coors Light and Bud selection, but I think this BWW should stock an ample supply of local brews.
(4)Morethan F.
I always get great service in here except for one time when the girl working in the bar was too busy talking to her friends.. But the drinks are great and food quality is okay..4 star for customer care!
(4)Cara C.
Yum! Food is awesome, decent prices and they always do military discount for me and my family! Drinks are super yummy too
(5)Kellie D.
Hate how they nickel and dime you for every little thing like ranch dressing is an added cost. The waitress brought more chips to us for our chips and queso and charged us .99 when she didn't ask if we wanted more she just brought more she also charged us for salsa. And every time we go 3/4 the wait staff is pregnant. That's just an added bonus I guess.
(1)Phillip D.
My wife and I had seen this place many times before. We love to go into this area and eat at ling and Louie's. So today, we decided to head in to see what they had. After all, it looked nice enough form the outside. Well, you cant judge a book by its cover. This saying works just as well for things not looking good, that actually are good on the inside, as it does for things that look appealing on the outside, but on the inside are nasty. When we entered, we found that this is a sports bar. This should have been our first clue to just walk away. I have yet to find a sports bar in Boise that is any good. This place in no exception. Walking in, every space on every wall is filled with TVs. Small TVs, large TVs, and mid sized TV's. This made for a weird deco. Most every TV was turned to a different sports channel. So it was impossible to watch one and not be distracted by the two next to the one you were trying to watch. We were sat in a booth right by the greeter station. Since this was a sports bar, we expected noise and people being rambunctious. What we did not expect was that the noise and rambunctious would come from the staff that worked there. The staff all stood around the greeter station and yapped. They yapped and yapped and yapped the entire time we were there. It was like being in a room with a bunch of teenagers having a slumber party. It was that annoying. Then came the food. My wife had a hamburger. The hamburger was bland and tasteless. It was a flattop burger and not even a good one. I have had better burgers from McDonalds. I had the boneless wings. I chose 2 sauces. The 1st one was the Asian. The second one was habanero/mango. The Asian was supposed to be infused with Ginger and Garlic. The flavor of the sauce was bad. I could not taste any ginger or garlic. It was just plain not good. The Habanero/Mango was hot. But thats it. It was just hot. No flavor at all and certainly not mango. The last thing was the fries. Flat, overly salty and flavorless. When we got our Check, we noticed one more issue, which made us flaming mad. My wife had asked for Mayo, Mustard, and ketchup on her hamburger. On our Check, we noticed that this joke of a place actually charged us for Mayo. Really! Are you kidding me? I have never been charged extra for mayo before. This place will never see my business again. We wont be back and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
(1)Ajdin B.
Usually come here on Tuesdays when the wings are 65 cents so your able to stock up pretty good! Overall this place has a really fun environment when you come in with a lot of friends because there are TV's all over the place playing the best sports games that are on. Really relaxed environment so you are able to enjoy yourself and company to the fullest.
(5)Jason P.
Typical BWW, not too much to review, if you've been to one you've been to them all. BUT, this review is for the take out, as I've only gotten food to go here and sat at the bar while I was waiting. I ordered 15 wings and some fried pickles, but I get home and saw 10 wings!! I paid the full 15 wing price. Gotta say I was disappointed, I flew in that day for work and was hungry. Would've went back and got the 5 wings but it was a 10 minute drive away from my hotel. If I was charged for 10 wings and got wings, sure, but... I lost 5 wings worth. The bar was OK, though. Very slow day as it was a Monday. I'll of course be back since it's the only BWW in the area, hopefully my order is OK next time.
(2)Charles F.
Its a hit and miss. Sometimes the visits are great and other times the service is lacking and the quality is subpar.
(3)Fatima A.
This place is definitely hit and miss. I don't mind the loud noise, I don't mind waiting longer when it's busy, and usually the staff is really friendly. However, I do mind when I find a hair in my wings, get it re-made, find a second hair in my new wings, get it re-made again and then for the third and final time...I find yet another one. ALL IN THE SAME VISIT. Needless to say, I was incredibly grossed out and walked out hungry. I should have gotten the hint after the first hair. Haven't been back since.
(2)Chris G.
Back today for lunch; same co-worker, and a guest. This time I had the "boneless" wings. Better choice...I didn't expect excellent bone-in wings like I did last time, so I wasn't disappointed. Same waiter, same BOGO, same prices, same issues, but I can now say, if you go here, get the boneless wings and you'll be OK.

Food a little pricey for the value. I absolutely HATED the nachos. Overly salty, otherwise flavorless chips with sparse toppings. Charged me for much-needed salsa, which was also poor. Wings OK, better at Hooters.

This place is horrible! Over priced food/ beer and horrible service. If you like the food here you must have just gone off a hungryman bender

The first Idaho location of Buffalo Wild Wings is now open in Meridian next to St. Luke's hospital that is earning a lot of buzz! Buffalo Wild Wings at 3223 E. Louise Drive is part of a chain that started years ago back in Minnesota and is purported to be one of the fastest growing restaurants in the United States. We arrived towards the end of the lunch hour and found the place hopping with lots of young people playing poker and trivia on hand held devices. It was a Tuesday which we learned was "Wild Wing Day" with .45 cent wings all day long. Thursday is .60 cent boneless. We were seated near the front door. The large projection screens mounted near the ceiling were not very visible because the light pouring through the glass doors on a sunny spring day made it difficult to view the picture. Had we known this we'd have opted to sit in the large bar area which offers better views of the televisions. Buffalo Wild Wings is known for their wings, and their sauce. There are 14 kinds of signature barbecue sauce ranging all the way from sweet & mild to something called blazin'. The mid-spice range sauces are the most popular: Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings. Tangy, sticky and delicious! There are sandwiches, wraps, burgers, chicken tenders & wings, ribs and combo plates to choose from. A red star depicts customer favorites on the menu. We ordered Honey Barbeque Chicken Salad ($7.29) and . Our entrees weren't as exciting as the wings. My salad was not very large and was poorly presented in a black plastic container. Iceberg lettuce with freshly shaved carrots contained disheveled shredded cheese on one side, chicken in the middle, and pico de gallo on the other side. A small plastic cup held the dressing. This was by far one of the poorest salad presentations ever seen. What's with all the plastic? Al Gore would have a fit! The only redeeming quality was the juicy barbecued chicken in the salad. The cheeseburger was good but a bit overcooked for our liking (all meat at Buffalo Wild Wings is cooked medium-well) and was missing the barbecue sauce. The flavorless paper-thin bacon did not enhance the burger in any way. Accompanying fries were tasteless. If a teenager leaves fries sitting on a plate you know something isn't quite right! Service was inattentive. We asked the waitress for mustard; twice. Beverage refills were never provided and had to be requested. Our check was brought to the table with the assumption we would not be ordering dessert. That's too bad as there's cheesecake, apple pie and a chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream, all priced at $4.79. We left with the impression the servers are given too many tables and can't keep tabs on everyone, or perhaps a much larger lunch crowd showed up than expected? It was, after all, Wing Day! Since this restaurant has only been open for a few months we'll let them get a few kinks worked out then return again because the wings sure are great, the crowd is young, and the atmosphere is lively! Happy Hour (as of April 2009) is $1 off all drinks, Monday through Friday from 3 - 6 pm. From 10 pm until closing, nightly, get $1 off all drinks and .45 cent wings.

I was driving through town on a Tuesday night and thought to myself, man that town is peaceful and quiet that night. Stopped in Buffalo Wild Wings in Meridian and found out why it was so quiet. EVERYONE IN TOWN was at Buffalo Wild Wings for .40 cent wing night! The energy was amazing! Idaho is known for having some of the friendliest residents in the country and I guess on Tuesday nights they all gather at this Buffalo Wild Wings to have some fun. And the cool thing is, they welcome strangers right into the mix! I travel all the time and go to BWW's whenever I find one because I enjoy the energy they generate and this one tops the list! Its a must for anyone who is looking for an experience when they spend their money! Now its probably not the best place if your a foodie as it is bar food. Great bar food with 14 sauces I must admit since you can put any of their sauces on any of the menu items, but definitely not meant for foodies! Its good for those folks who want to loosen up, laugh a lot with friends with every sporting event available on like 50 big screens going in the background. Its great for folks who want to experience Idaho hospitality at its finest. The staff and the customers are all some of the friendliest folks I've ever had the pleasure of dining out with!

I use to be a huge fan of Buffalo Wild Wings but then after eating here so much its become just an a-ok place to eat at. I always end up eating here if I can't decide on where to eat. The environment is good and the workers are really friendly. However, there was one waiter who said I looked like his friend whom is a guy. Hmmm...thanks for saying I look like a guy? Rude much? Yeah, I don't see him working there anymore so I'm glad. He even forgot to give us back our card after he charged it. The only thing I really like about this place is their boneless wings. The sauces are alright. I would recommend everyone to try it out at least once.

$1.25 per wing?!!! I love BWW traditional wings, however prices have skyrocketed at this location (and franchise-wide) in the past year. On any day besides Tues, traditional wings are now running about $1.00-$1.25/per wing for orders of 5, 10, or 15 wings. Tues .40 cent wing night went up to .70 wing night. The only night it is worth going is Tuesday .70 wing night. The service is generally pretty good at this location, although phoning in a carry out order when it's busy usually involves being put on hold for a long time.

I guess I am just not a fan of Buffalo Wild Wings no matter where it is located. I feel like the food is just average, nothing spectacular. Especially now knowing they get their chicken from Tyson. I felt the server lacked social skills. My boyfriend got the boneless wings which were not that good. I felt like I was eating in a school room cafeteria to be honest. I would rather eat at a different restaurant and from now on I will.

Here's my breakdown of BWW for you in stars. One Star- Open Late even durning the week One Star- Late Night Happy Hour One Star- Cheap But other then that, I was NOT impressed. The drinks were all juice when I swear I asked for a VODKA and cranberry. The service was all right. The whole experience was ah for me. Especially for the drive.

I have visited both locations and think Nampa have the best management by far. I was among the guests to get a free meal and take 3 friends along the day before they opened when they did their trial run. One thing to say about that why invite people in and then have no type of feedback survey or card what's the point? Cons: every time I have gone in unless I get wings my order was wrong,wait time is always pretty long too. Every sandwch I have tried has been gross sorry its true! Stick to what u do best WINGS or fix the menu.music can be way too loud Pros; love the wings Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic and Asian Zing. We loved the spicy barbecue sauce, Asian Zing, on the half dozen tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings yum! They have specials tues and thurs Will go back when I am cravin wings but won't eat any of the other menu items

Awesome wings! The service is not amazing but it's pretty good for a sports bar. Go there on thursdays to get the boneless wings for 70 cents a piece. Honey BBQ and Asian Zing are great sauces to try.

Ehh...? That's kind of what I end up thinking as I leave Buffalo Wild Wings. I've been here about 3 times and every time it's been JUST ok. The first visit, it took me (and I timed it) 45 minutes to get a beer and our server told me 3 times it was "On it's way." Ok, it takes 1 minute to pour a beer...what's with the other 44? By the time I got it, I didn't even feel like paying the 5 or so bucks for it. Got a salad and the chicken seemed undercooked and lukewarm, not a good start for a wings place. Second and third visit, our food has just been ok. Absolutely nothing to write home about, or even crave on a later date. My boyfriend hates it here and I end up just getting a side salad every time we meet friends here, because I know it won't get messed up or be mis-cooked. NEver a good experience and we don't go here by choice.

Our server Amanda did a fantastic job! The Wings were delicious! My daughter devoured her burger spit must have been good. The staff did a great job of making us feel welcome.

First time here. I went with a co-worker and we had a good time. Great prices on wings and they were pretty good. Very friendly service and cute waitress. Parking is ok but not the best. All we had was apps so I cant saying anything on the main food. I would deffently go back.

Always a great time! Trivia. Poker . Great drafts! And tons of different BBQ choices for any pallet. Anything from fried pickles to classic wings to delish nachos! I always have good memories and great service! I'm also quite addicted to the wild berry lemonades

So I'm not a HUGE fan of chain restaurants, but living where we live it's impossible to completely escape them and Buffalo Wild Wings is one of the few I actually like! For a sports fan, you CAN NOT beat it...every sporting event you'd want to see is available on about 100 NEW tv's. The food is pretty straight forward bar-type food, but the wings really are good with a variety of sauces ranging from mild to insanely hot. The place is kid friendly as well and have had our 2 year old in the dining room many times. Was great to have them up and running during March Madness!
