What a great find outside the cities! Went out with some friends to have some drinks and dance our butts off and this place delivered. Got there at 8:45 and was informed that the dance floor opens up at 9. The DJ was good with smooth mixing skills and people from all ages were out shaking it having a good time. One thing I did take note of was the level of concern that the bouncers took with anyone attempting to enter that was not white and under the age of 30. Ruthless at best is all I observed with them making a young man go change his shirt before entering. Too bad. It's not a high class club so it wasn't necessary. The 2-4-1s were nice from 9-11. I may just pop in next time I am in the area.

1 piece of advice for this place- stick to the apps and go for the drinks and dancing! I've always had a great time out there- they usually have a great music selection sure to get anyone out on the dance floor and fits many styles.

July 30th update, walk past 3 waitresses at the outside patio yapping and 10 mins. no service. Go to the brown haired gal at the outside bar in the afternoon and she was argumentative over lemon seeds in the drink. Rude, no eye contact, plastic and paper bits in my customer's beer. Dogshit service. I am giving one star since I cannot give minus 69 stars. I read all the reviews and think "I'm not the only one that got abhorrent service, rudeness, idiocy, copped attitude, etc." Let alone the bathrooms where anyone who punches a hole thru the toilet paper is required to touch the door to exit to wash hands in public. GREAT IDEA. Absolute dumbbells waiting tables. Petrified trees, the Lincoln Memorial or stones on Easter Island would be faster and more articulate entities waiting on you. GO TO TAVERN GRILL not here, unless you are 23 years old and want beers (which I think is fun). And Wild Bill's food is crap. Absolute crap. Chicken quesadilla has Sara Lee precooked fajita meat, Gordon Food Service imitation Old El Paso sauce and unseasoned cheese. Do you like panhandling for a raffle while eating zero-dimensional flavor food? Go to Wild Bill's and they'll top it off with someone serving you that probably ate lead paint chips as a kid and forgets you exist. The reference to panhandling is some guys drinking while selling raffle tickets and arguing why you ARE able to buy some.

I really don't like this place, Everything is far too expensive, even for happy hour. The only redeeming thing I found was the $5 burger for lunch. That will be the only reason I return. And then walk over to the tavern to have a reasonably priced tall beer.

Nice day to sit out on the patio. Our server, Darcy, was awesome! Super funny and very attentive! Food is fine. I had a burger, husband had a wrap. Both were good. The service was excellent!!!!

Terrible service. Do not come here. Rude waitress - acted like we were bothering her. When we ordered our food to go because we were in a hurry, it took an hour and 15 minutes to get it. The order was also incorrect. Ridiculous. Edit - manager came by and was apologetic and comp'd part of our bill. I was planning on changing my review to be a little better but then the waitress took another 15 min to just get our bill out so obviously she still didn't care. Go elsewhere, there are plenty of places around this area.

Over 30? Don't go after 8. Bunch of bruhs that seemingly are trying alcohol for the first time. The velvet ropes for the cowboy bar to EDM club is a classy touch tho... The food is terrible. Expect nothing there. A burger is fine I suppose. Appetizers are embarrassing. If you are looking to simply get filled, it'll happen and maybe that's the goal being strived for in the end.

Have eaten here before and the food was good- I had gone in the afternoon. Tonight I went there to meet friends for drinks and appetizers- nightmare!!! Service was VERY slow- unacceptable. The waitress charged my cc for someone else's order- she misquoted a price of happy hour to a friend and charged her the "real" price! Don't think they make much in tips or maybe they could afford an entire pair of shorts!!! Ridiculous!

Noisy crowded unclean food is decent though and that is the only reason that this review is a two star instead of a one star

Food was awesome, had 2.00 burgers and wings and they were great but the homemade cheese curds were to die for even better then the state fair. The waiter was very friendly and was right on top of things. 3.00 bloody mary's was worth it. I just love that they have the sinks to wash your hands after you go to the bathroom outside the restroom so you can see who washes their hands after going to the bathroom. Will definitely come here again.

Again over priced. Good isn't horrible it's just very over priced for what you are getting. They also need more low carb sides and main dishes. Skimpier outfits would be good also ;-)

The standard, boring food you can get at any burger and ribs joint along the highway. Music was far too loud, and 42 TVs in a room the size of a small college seminar hall is far too many. Not much in the way of options, food-wise, either - your choices are meat from animal A, meat from animal B, or meat from animal C. They offer 4 salads and there isn't a Caesar to be found. It would have been two stars but for the quite exemplary performance of our server. She was marvellous.

So I was excited to try this place before a soccer game. But I was saddened by the experience. The chicken wings that people raved about were over cooked and I ordered them buffalo hot and they were sweet and mild heat at best. The cheese curds were decent and the beer was kind of cheap even thought it was in a plastic cup. Our waitress was air headed and made it super Weird. She yelled at us because we were trying to adjust the umbrella. Then proceeded to freak out when we tried to order out of her order. Either way it just wasn't worth our time. Sad I wasted mine

YEEHAW! Boy howdy! Y'all gotta try this thang out. It feels like you are at a Hooters in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. I so wish I had my cowboy boots on and rode on a horse to this place. Our group of 7 arrived at this "wild" place past 8:30PM on a Saturday night. We got seated right away and to read further about where, read my buddy Mithun K's review. I had no complaints about where we all got seated. It had the best view of "thangs with some kind of rhythmic pattern". I ordered a Blue Moon beer and Onion Rings from appetizers for the night and was totally happy with the portion size and taste. The price was just right. The service was confusing. The lady who sat us down was never to be seen later that night. The lady who took the order was not the one who brought our food and drinks to our table. Some other lady came to check on us during our meal and we told her about how some of our orders went wrong. She never returned to our table. Meanwhile, it was almost 9:30 or so and the bouncers started picking up the plastic cups in which our beers were served as we took our last sips. The restrooms say cowboys and cowgirls on their doors. The sinks are located outside the restrooms, which was odd. They have outside seating by the bar as well. The waitresses are hawt and the food tastes good. Give it a try, just for fun. Please don't take my 5-star rating seriously. It's April Fools day today.

I was hesitant towards visiting this place because of the other yelp reviews but thought I'd give this place a chance. Wow were the other reviews spot on! The prisoners in the federal prison system eat better food than this dump serves. Not only was the food crap but the service was TERRIBLE. When you work for a restaurant it's assumed you will have to interact with people. I could swear these employees were recruited from a bi-polar convention. GEEZ! The bathrooms were OK but it was so poorly designed and the only way to exit the bathroom is by twisting a pubic door handle. Do I really want to risk getting hepatitis C when I have to leave the stall area into the pubic hand washing/zipper adjusting area. Maybe it's nice so you can see hillbillies spitting Skoal Bandits in the sinks in front of everyone. Gristleburgers and sinew sliders are a nice thing to return to at your poorly-"serviced" table outside where the gals focus on their hair salon discussion and not your empty beer and ketchup. POOR My advice: go to TAVERN instead.

Their advertisement for "$3 you call it" is a complete and total lie. You call it means that if I call for a Grey Goose on the rocks OR Long Island Tea OR Sapphire Martini then it is $3. Try and order that here during the so called "You Call It" times and you will be told that those are not $3. Does any of the management or ownership care to explain this? Here it is 2014 and STILL the management hasn't come on here to explain this. Have the rules changed? Do you now have a different happy hour? Anyone?

Can you say S-L-O-W? Jesus I could have butchered and cooked my own damn pig for how long it took to get the food! Which, by the way, when it finally did arrive was basically only as good as a McRib. I don't know what it is with these crappy restaurants that have one location that seem to think that by opening ANOTHER one they will somehow be just fine. But what I don't seem to get... is why is it always so packed?? It can't be because people are coming here to eat... so I will just assume it is so people can get really plastered and then play "Let's avoid the Blaine PD while drunk driving in Anoka County!" Oh, and speaking of their bar, don't bother looking young and having a valid license. They looked at my ID when I ordered the drink, but the waitress came back and said that the manager told the bartender NOT to serve me. WHY?! Because I don't look 21 even though the state of MInnesota recognizes that I am over 21. One more complaint for the books... what the hell is with the bathrooms here?? Who had the bright idea that we should put the sinks out in the middle of the restaurant for the bathroom?? Maybe I don't want to have my OCD kick in and feel the need to scrub an entire layer of skin off my hands while washing just to appease the eyes of everyone there judging my personal cleanliness based on how long I was in the bathroom and then how long it took to wash my hands. It's weird. And kinda creepy. Thanks Bill, my experience was definitely wild alright... but it doesn't warrant another visit.

Some friends and I went to wild bills a few nights ago and couldn't even get in, WHY? Because someone in our group had a small hole in their jeans. HAHAHA this place is suppose to be a country western themed restaurant and they don't let someone in with ripped jeans, what THE F*** hahahahaha This place is a F'in joke!!! Also, a large group that arrived in a party bus to celebrate their friends 21st birthday was turned down because they "don't do 21st birthdays" I've personally never eaten at a wild bills, but based off the reviews on Yelp from their Maple Grove location, the food isn't very good either! So, if you want some good american food with a country theme, head to Texas Roadhouse or Toby Keith's bar and grill! Maybe Jack McCall should take care of this Wild Bill too!

We come here once in awhile and the service is hit or miss. We've had decent service and then terrible service. One time last summer we sat out on the patio. We put in our food order and it started raining. So we had no where to sit and had food coming. There was a wait for tables and I explained to the hostess we had food coming so could we have priority seating since we already waited once. Her answer in a valley girl sort of way was "no I'm sorry, we can't control the weather so we can't put you in front of others waiting." I saw our waitress and said we'd be leaving since we had no table to eat our meals and we had no intention of waiting again. All she said was "I can box your food then?" Before I could tell her we didn't even want it at all, the manager intervened and got us a table. Like all the other reviews mention, the bathroom situation is weird with the sinks outside. Just seems like an invasion of privacy to have tables see me washing up after using the restroom. The food is nothing special either. The Sunday breakfast is especially bad, but we are also used to Ole Piper breakfast which is hard to live up to. It's a good place to watch the game with all the nice TV's. The bouncers are strict on the weekends. My girlfriend was drunk, but not doing any harm or trouble and two bouncers came and grabbed her by the arm, escorted her out, cut off her wrist band and told her she was too drunk to be in there. Even if they have the right to kick out intoxicated people (which would be most the bar on a weekend night), they don't even give you the chance to let your friends or ride know you have to leave. They treated her as if she were a guy in a bar fight. So overall, it's a fun place to go late at night for music and dancing (as long as you don't drink too much), but I prefer other establishments in the area to eat, drink, and hang out with friends at.

My husband and I stopped in about a week ago for a beer, just to check the place out. I was a little underwhelmed, as it took probably 5 minutes (in a half empty bar) to get someone to take our drink order. Service was VERY slow, but the food looked good so we decided to come back and try an early dinner last night. When we arrived, we decided to sit in the bar area at a table. The place was fairly empty, as you would expect for 2:30-ish on a Monday. We were greeted pretty quickly by our server and ordered our drinks. We told her to give us a couple minutes so we could decide on what we were going to order, In about 10 minutes, she came back and we decided to try some Buffalo Wings and Cajun Ranch Burgers. The wings came out pretty fast, and they were actually pretty good! Not super hot, but good flavor and the wing itself was good quality and juicy. They were at least as good as Buffalo Wild Wings, and I love their sauce. Here comes the decline... The burgers took FOREVER to come out, I would say at least 20+ minutes. Normally I would be OK with that if it was busy, but it wasn't. Also, we darn near finished our meals before she checked on us. Thankfully we didn't need anything. The worst part about the wait was the 10 servers that were "working" there, all gabbing with each other and not serving their customers. I bet at any given time, there was a group of at least 3 of them sitting there talking, literally watching TV, or looking at themselves and fixing their hair in the mirror... NOT attending to their customers and some of them were REALLY loud and annoying. I don't mind that they wear tight shirts, push-up bras and high heels to work, but checking yourself in the mirror every 5 minutes (which is out in the main bar/dining area for everyone to see) and flirting with the other servers instead of doing their jobs totally killed it for me. The worst part about giving this place a 3-star review... The food was REALLY good!! The burger was cooked perfectly, had great flavor, and the cajun ranch sauce was really original. We even got dessert (apple crisp) which was fabulous as well. I loved the food! Also, our bill was only $26.00 for all the food we got (happy hour prices on wings, burgers and beer) . I just don't know how much of the staff I can stomach. What they really need to do is get a manager that knows how to handle their staff, and to make sure that the customers are actually being taken care of. Our server was actually one of the more "mature" ones, as most of them are probably 18-21, but she could use some work as well. Lastly, I thought this place could be kind of fun on a Friday or Saturday night since they have NTN trivia and a lot of TV's for watching sports. THINK AGAIN. They have KDWB DJ's there every Thursday and Friday and another DJ there every Saturday. Guess I won't be spending any of my time there on the weekends. Ever. So disappointing.

Embarrassing. Sunday brunch... Sounds pretty hard to mess up, a good way to try a new(ish) local joint (being part of a chain, however.) I suppose I should begin at the beginning. This morning, I looked at reviews and even though they were overwhelmingly bad, (discounting the obvious shill reviews of employees.) We still decided to go and give them a chance. I should have known better. From the moment we walked in a little before 11 am, things started... odd. From there, things got worse. By factors.I should have known better. It was apparent that they actually have a cleaning crew. Which is a good thing. The bad part of that seems to be that they had finished just slightly before opening that morning. And they weren't "A" squad cleaners. You know that smell of bathroom disinfectant you sometimes get in poorly run gas stations? Yeah, that one. The smell of highly perfumed/smelly floor cleaner. The place smelled like they cleaned the bathrooms first, didn't bother changing the water from the dribbling, puking masses of Saturday nights Coors light and Long Island crowd. Nasty disinfectant with overtones of urinal. I should have known better. But I digress. Let's talk about the staff for a moment. Envision "D" squad, underage Hooter girl wannabes. Poorly trained, (we will get to that later), unsanitary, clueless girls. Wild Bills ownership and management? While I am sure that having a theme of "Look at the cute little country girls boobs", you aren't getting that. While these girls may not be aware of how they are coming across and how poorly they are trained, uniformed, and managed you have a much, much, much worse dynamic going on. Horny, Drunk, Coors light cowboy bait is NOT how you staff a place of business. Unless all you serve is Coors light. We were seated promptly. Hey... That's good! Oh... wait... no one came to greet us within probably 5 minutes of sitting down. They were perhaps at half capacity. Not good. We ordered the brunch. We also had a junk mail flyer for a free caramel roll with brunch. Sure, why not? "Iron skillet caramel rolls" sound great, right? My wife ordered the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon for her first attempt. With coffee. Ahh. Coffee.. love of my life. Yeah.. skip the coffee, it tasted like cheap coffee from the discount store. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, hash browns, and bacon. I should have known better. Worse than mediocrity is badly prepared food served on cold plates. Let's start with my wifes eggs. Homogenized egg product out of a carton, like bad hospital eggs. No real egg flavor, and the spongy consistency of something artificial. She didn't get the bacon she ordered. (Hey, it's a "brunch," you can simply ask... next... time.) Hash browns. Overcooked, greasy, some type of cheese thrown in, sub-par. Eggs Benedict. Okay, Sparky, on the line. English muffins should be "toasted." If you don't know that, you need to go back to stocking shelves at Wally World. Runny yolks. Canned hollandaise. Bacon. Thin. Marginally cooked in the oven and left out, and reheated I would guess,"stale". Caramel rolls.Awful. My guess? Frozen Sysco rounds sheet panned, shoveled off the cold pan, popped in a ~cold~ skillet, then canned "caramel" sauce poured over the top.Free with the coupon, they were overpriced. Cringing at how things were going, we both decided to look at the menu to see what might be "Safe" to order. French toast and sausages couldn't be too difficult, could it? I should have known better. Starting with some good ciabatta bread for the French toast, it was cut too thick, proportions weren't right, texture was off. That wasn't all. Nutmeg, is the kicker. Overblown proportions of it in the egg wash. My tongue is still numb an hour after leaving. Soggy, badly griddled. Sausages? Out of the steam table, ~almost~ some browning on them. At least they weren't raw, as that is the first thing I was afraid of when I saw them. 3 different people come to the table after we sat down, they seem to not know the standard procedures for greeting and starting a dining experience. Watching while waiting for our bill so we could get the hell out of this place, I noticed other things.Beer in plastic cups indoors? Tacky. Lots of small flies. Disgusting. Waitress coming out of the kitchen while yanking her booger hook across her snotty nose? Unsanitary. Waitress hooking a finger under her shorts at her butt cheeks to yank them down? Frightening.. Sinks in the middle of the restaurant so you have to touch a door other peoples unwashed hands have touched? Criminal. By definition, half of the worlds population is below average, I simply cannot fathom the success of this place being still in operation while being designed, staffed, owned, and regularly patronized by that lower half. I can only imagine the state of the kitchen and bars. If such inattention is completely evident in just the customer experience, I have no question that the rest is sub-par, and at an infinite level.

I stopped after work for a beer and a sandwich to go... well to be honest the to go food was not the greatest! But the after effect was spectacular! I stopped the night after, spoke to the manager and he comped my meal to make up for it! Now that is what I call customer service at it's finest! I've dined there before and have enjoyed it but the service that the manager John gave was GREAT!!! Kudos to them for taking care of things!! Also, the Peanut Butter burger is to die for!!

We needed a quick dinner on the way home, it was great. Monday special is a burger and fries$5 . Didn't expect much wow was I wrong, all burgers are reduced accordingly. Our server lindsey was really good the beers were really cold and the onoin rings had a surly beer batter that made me want the fish next time iam in. It was busy and the tvs all had something good on. We will try again for sure . Try the poker chips smothered they are outstanding.

Been there several times with friends. We all decided that we would go back for drinks and the good service at the bar. First, the bathroom situation is clever, if you don't wash your hands leaving the restroom, everyone knows as the washing troughs are outside of the private facilities. Yay for that! Second, order a burger and fries and hope for ketchup that may be a norm in the midwest? Nope,,, a huge misswest on this, awful sweet red sauce in a bottle. All of our group agreed, never order food that you may require a bit of the staple Heinz zip. Terrible way to cut costs. With that said, we like to eat a meal with our drinks, so our visits will probably be, never again as most of us (also in the service industry on some level) agree if a business cuts costs on condiments, where else to they cut on quality?

1 star only because zero stars isn't an option. This plays blows! I've never been escorted out of a bar in my life until I went here and don't ask for a reason because they won't give you one. Not only has it happened to me but to my husband and 2 other friends all on different days. Its ridiculous. If anyone needs to be escorted out it should be their servers because they SUCK! Worst service ever, the food is worthless and the bartender outside is the most obnoxious, rude, sexest guy I've ever met and I have no idea how he hasn't been served papers for sexual harassment towards the female wait staff and customers. Hmmmm, that gives me an idea!!!! Only go here if you enjoy recently turned 21 yr old idiots, bad service and getting thrown out with zero explanation. They clearly don't care what customers think considering they have horrible reviews all over the web. Suck it Wild Bills, suck it!

We planned to go bowling at the Brunswick zone on a Saturday night and needed to grab some food and drinks to gain some energy. The place was packed and we were seated in the area which we later realized was the dance floor after 10PM I guess (we were seated in a strategic location from where we got an eyeful of the surrounding's.....if you get my drift). I just ordered some wings and a Bourbon Teriyaki Burger. We ordered the wings with the Cajun Ranch and Jim Beam Buffalo sauce. I personally liked the Jim Beam buffalo but their sauces were nowhere in the neighborhood of hot (in terms of spice level) like they state on their menu. Also the wings were not crispy or hot so I presume they were fried a while ago. The Burger was good and filling. The overall food experience was OK. However they messed up one of my friends order in that he had requested onion rings instead of the fries along with his wrap. Now comes the sad part. As it got close to 10PM a couple of the bouncers who made us and I guess a few other tables around us uncomfortable. They kept gazing at the tables which were close to the dance floor. They kept intruding by clearing empty glasses on the tables pretty much suggesting we move soon. We were at least never told that at the time of being seated that the area would suddenly turn into a dance floor and therefore did not appreciate the constant intrusions. The review survived the extra 3rd star for the food that I tried which was ok and some of the waitresses who were reminiscent of their counterparts from Hooters. The place also has a good number of Televisions so guess not a bad option if you just want to watch a game with a couple of beers and decent food

The standard, boring food you can get at any burger and ribs joint along the highway. Music was far too loud, and 42 TVs in a room the size of a small college seminar hall is far too many. Not much in the way of options, food-wise, either - your choices are meat from animal A, meat from animal B, or meat from animal C. They offer 4 salads and there isn't a Caesar to be found. It would have been two stars but for the quite exemplary performance of our server. She was marvellous.

So I was excited to try this place before a soccer game. But I was saddened by the experience. The chicken wings that people raved about were over cooked and I ordered them buffalo hot and they were sweet and mild heat at best. The cheese curds were decent and the beer was kind of cheap even thought it was in a plastic cup. Our waitress was air headed and made it super Weird. She yelled at us because we were trying to adjust the umbrella. Then proceeded to freak out when we tried to order out of her order. Either way it just wasn't worth our time. Sad I wasted mine

YEEHAW! Boy howdy! Y'all gotta try this thang out. It feels like you are at a Hooters in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. I so wish I had my cowboy boots on and rode on a horse to this place. Our group of 7 arrived at this "wild" place past 8:30PM on a Saturday night. We got seated right away and to read further about where, read my buddy Mithun K's review. I had no complaints about where we all got seated. It had the best view of "thangs with some kind of rhythmic pattern". I ordered a Blue Moon beer and Onion Rings from appetizers for the night and was totally happy with the portion size and taste. The price was just right. The service was confusing. The lady who sat us down was never to be seen later that night. The lady who took the order was not the one who brought our food and drinks to our table. Some other lady came to check on us during our meal and we told her about how some of our orders went wrong. She never returned to our table. Meanwhile, it was almost 9:30 or so and the bouncers started picking up the plastic cups in which our beers were served as we took our last sips. The restrooms say cowboys and cowgirls on their doors. The sinks are located outside the restrooms, which was odd. They have outside seating by the bar as well. The waitresses are hawt and the food tastes good. Give it a try, just for fun. Please don't take my 5-star rating seriously. It's April Fools day today.

I was hesitant towards visiting this place because of the other yelp reviews but thought I'd give this place a chance. Wow were the other reviews spot on! The prisoners in the federal prison system eat better food than this dump serves. Not only was the food crap but the service was TERRIBLE. When you work for a restaurant it's assumed you will have to interact with people. I could swear these employees were recruited from a bi-polar convention. GEEZ! The bathrooms were OK but it was so poorly designed and the only way to exit the bathroom is by twisting a pubic door handle. Do I really want to risk getting hepatitis C when I have to leave the stall area into the pubic hand washing/zipper adjusting area. Maybe it's nice so you can see hillbillies spitting Skoal Bandits in the sinks in front of everyone. Gristleburgers and sinew sliders are a nice thing to return to at your poorly-"serviced" table outside where the gals focus on their hair salon discussion and not your empty beer and ketchup. POOR My advice: go to TAVERN instead.

Their advertisement for "$3 you call it" is a complete and total lie. You call it means that if I call for a Grey Goose on the rocks OR Long Island Tea OR Sapphire Martini then it is $3. Try and order that here during the so called "You Call It" times and you will be told that those are not $3. Does any of the management or ownership care to explain this? Here it is 2014 and STILL the management hasn't come on here to explain this. Have the rules changed? Do you now have a different happy hour? Anyone?

Can you say S-L-O-W? Jesus I could have butchered and cooked my own damn pig for how long it took to get the food! Which, by the way, when it finally did arrive was basically only as good as a McRib. I don't know what it is with these crappy restaurants that have one location that seem to think that by opening ANOTHER one they will somehow be just fine. But what I don't seem to get... is why is it always so packed?? It can't be because people are coming here to eat... so I will just assume it is so people can get really plastered and then play "Let's avoid the Blaine PD while drunk driving in Anoka County!" Oh, and speaking of their bar, don't bother looking young and having a valid license. They looked at my ID when I ordered the drink, but the waitress came back and said that the manager told the bartender NOT to serve me. WHY?! Because I don't look 21 even though the state of MInnesota recognizes that I am over 21. One more complaint for the books... what the hell is with the bathrooms here?? Who had the bright idea that we should put the sinks out in the middle of the restaurant for the bathroom?? Maybe I don't want to have my OCD kick in and feel the need to scrub an entire layer of skin off my hands while washing just to appease the eyes of everyone there judging my personal cleanliness based on how long I was in the bathroom and then how long it took to wash my hands. It's weird. And kinda creepy. Thanks Bill, my experience was definitely wild alright... but it doesn't warrant another visit.

Some friends and I went to wild bills a few nights ago and couldn't even get in, WHY? Because someone in our group had a small hole in their jeans. HAHAHA this place is suppose to be a country western themed restaurant and they don't let someone in with ripped jeans, what THE F*** hahahahaha This place is a F'in joke!!! Also, a large group that arrived in a party bus to celebrate their friends 21st birthday was turned down because they "don't do 21st birthdays" I've personally never eaten at a wild bills, but based off the reviews on Yelp from their Maple Grove location, the food isn't very good either! So, if you want some good american food with a country theme, head to Texas Roadhouse or Toby Keith's bar and grill! Maybe Jack McCall should take care of this Wild Bill too!

This is a ho-hum type of place. Slow service, food wasn't great. Will not come back.

We come here once in awhile and the service is hit or miss. We've had decent service and then terrible service. One time last summer we sat out on the patio. We put in our food order and it started raining. So we had no where to sit and had food coming. There was a wait for tables and I explained to the hostess we had food coming so could we have priority seating since we already waited once. Her answer in a valley girl sort of way was "no I'm sorry, we can't control the weather so we can't put you in front of others waiting." I saw our waitress and said we'd be leaving since we had no table to eat our meals and we had no intention of waiting again. All she said was "I can box your food then?" Before I could tell her we didn't even want it at all, the manager intervened and got us a table. Like all the other reviews mention, the bathroom situation is weird with the sinks outside. Just seems like an invasion of privacy to have tables see me washing up after using the restroom. The food is nothing special either. The Sunday breakfast is especially bad, but we are also used to Ole Piper breakfast which is hard to live up to. It's a good place to watch the game with all the nice TV's. The bouncers are strict on the weekends. My girlfriend was drunk, but not doing any harm or trouble and two bouncers came and grabbed her by the arm, escorted her out, cut off her wrist band and told her she was too drunk to be in there. Even if they have the right to kick out intoxicated people (which would be most the bar on a weekend night), they don't even give you the chance to let your friends or ride know you have to leave. They treated her as if she were a guy in a bar fight. So overall, it's a fun place to go late at night for music and dancing (as long as you don't drink too much), but I prefer other establishments in the area to eat, drink, and hang out with friends at.

My husband and I stopped in about a week ago for a beer, just to check the place out. I was a little underwhelmed, as it took probably 5 minutes (in a half empty bar) to get someone to take our drink order. Service was VERY slow, but the food looked good so we decided to come back and try an early dinner last night. When we arrived, we decided to sit in the bar area at a table. The place was fairly empty, as you would expect for 2:30-ish on a Monday. We were greeted pretty quickly by our server and ordered our drinks. We told her to give us a couple minutes so we could decide on what we were going to order, In about 10 minutes, she came back and we decided to try some Buffalo Wings and Cajun Ranch Burgers. The wings came out pretty fast, and they were actually pretty good! Not super hot, but good flavor and the wing itself was good quality and juicy. They were at least as good as Buffalo Wild Wings, and I love their sauce. Here comes the decline... The burgers took FOREVER to come out, I would say at least 20+ minutes. Normally I would be OK with that if it was busy, but it wasn't. Also, we darn near finished our meals before she checked on us. Thankfully we didn't need anything. The worst part about the wait was the 10 servers that were "working" there, all gabbing with each other and not serving their customers. I bet at any given time, there was a group of at least 3 of them sitting there talking, literally watching TV, or looking at themselves and fixing their hair in the mirror... NOT attending to their customers and some of them were REALLY loud and annoying. I don't mind that they wear tight shirts, push-up bras and high heels to work, but checking yourself in the mirror every 5 minutes (which is out in the main bar/dining area for everyone to see) and flirting with the other servers instead of doing their jobs totally killed it for me. The worst part about giving this place a 3-star review... The food was REALLY good!! The burger was cooked perfectly, had great flavor, and the cajun ranch sauce was really original. We even got dessert (apple crisp) which was fabulous as well. I loved the food! Also, our bill was only $26.00 for all the food we got (happy hour prices on wings, burgers and beer) . I just don't know how much of the staff I can stomach. What they really need to do is get a manager that knows how to handle their staff, and to make sure that the customers are actually being taken care of. Our server was actually one of the more "mature" ones, as most of them are probably 18-21, but she could use some work as well. Lastly, I thought this place could be kind of fun on a Friday or Saturday night since they have NTN trivia and a lot of TV's for watching sports. THINK AGAIN. They have KDWB DJ's there every Thursday and Friday and another DJ there every Saturday. Guess I won't be spending any of my time there on the weekends. Ever. So disappointing.

I had a very similar experience as the rest of the reviewers - slow service, food that was OK and a vibe that was not all that. I predict a short run if they do not read some reviews and make some changes.

Love the outdoor patio and tables. Lound inside but that's the place.

Embarrassing. Sunday brunch... Sounds pretty hard to mess up, a good way to try a new(ish) local joint (being part of a chain, however.) I suppose I should begin at the beginning. This morning, I looked at reviews and even though they were overwhelmingly bad, (discounting the obvious shill reviews of employees.) We still decided to go and give them a chance. I should have known better. From the moment we walked in a little before 11 am, things started... odd. From there, things got worse. By factors.I should have known better. It was apparent that they actually have a cleaning crew. Which is a good thing. The bad part of that seems to be that they had finished just slightly before opening that morning. And they weren't "A" squad cleaners. You know that smell of bathroom disinfectant you sometimes get in poorly run gas stations? Yeah, that one. The smell of highly perfumed/smelly floor cleaner. The place smelled like they cleaned the bathrooms first, didn't bother changing the water from the dribbling, puking masses of Saturday nights Coors light and Long Island crowd. Nasty disinfectant with overtones of urinal. I should have known better. But I digress. Let's talk about the staff for a moment. Envision "D" squad, underage Hooter girl wannabes. Poorly trained, (we will get to that later), unsanitary, clueless girls. Wild Bills ownership and management? While I am sure that having a theme of "Look at the cute little country girls boobs", you aren't getting that. While these girls may not be aware of how they are coming across and how poorly they are trained, uniformed, and managed you have a much, much, much worse dynamic going on. Horny, Drunk, Coors light cowboy bait is NOT how you staff a place of business. Unless all you serve is Coors light. We were seated promptly. Hey... That's good! Oh... wait... no one came to greet us within probably 5 minutes of sitting down. They were perhaps at half capacity. Not good. We ordered the brunch. We also had a junk mail flyer for a free caramel roll with brunch. Sure, why not? "Iron skillet caramel rolls" sound great, right? My wife ordered the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon for her first attempt. With coffee. Ahh. Coffee.. love of my life. Yeah.. skip the coffee, it tasted like cheap coffee from the discount store. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, hash browns, and bacon. I should have known better. Worse than mediocrity is badly prepared food served on cold plates. Let's start with my wifes eggs. Homogenized egg product out of a carton, like bad hospital eggs. No real egg flavor, and the spongy consistency of something artificial. She didn't get the bacon she ordered. (Hey, it's a "brunch," you can simply ask... next... time.) Hash browns. Overcooked, greasy, some type of cheese thrown in, sub-par. Eggs Benedict. Okay, Sparky, on the line. English muffins should be "toasted." If you don't know that, you need to go back to stocking shelves at Wally World. Runny yolks. Canned hollandaise. Bacon. Thin. Marginally cooked in the oven and left out, and reheated I would guess,"stale". Caramel rolls.Awful. My guess? Frozen Sysco rounds sheet panned, shoveled off the cold pan, popped in a ~cold~ skillet, then canned "caramel" sauce poured over the top.Free with the coupon, they were overpriced. Cringing at how things were going, we both decided to look at the menu to see what might be "Safe" to order. French toast and sausages couldn't be too difficult, could it? I should have known better. Starting with some good ciabatta bread for the French toast, it was cut too thick, proportions weren't right, texture was off. That wasn't all. Nutmeg, is the kicker. Overblown proportions of it in the egg wash. My tongue is still numb an hour after leaving. Soggy, badly griddled. Sausages? Out of the steam table, ~almost~ some browning on them. At least they weren't raw, as that is the first thing I was afraid of when I saw them. 3 different people come to the table after we sat down, they seem to not know the standard procedures for greeting and starting a dining experience. Watching while waiting for our bill so we could get the hell out of this place, I noticed other things.Beer in plastic cups indoors? Tacky. Lots of small flies. Disgusting. Waitress coming out of the kitchen while yanking her booger hook across her snotty nose? Unsanitary. Waitress hooking a finger under her shorts at her butt cheeks to yank them down? Frightening.. Sinks in the middle of the restaurant so you have to touch a door other peoples unwashed hands have touched? Criminal. By definition, half of the worlds population is below average, I simply cannot fathom the success of this place being still in operation while being designed, staffed, owned, and regularly patronized by that lower half. I can only imagine the state of the kitchen and bars. If such inattention is completely evident in just the customer experience, I have no question that the rest is sub-par, and at an infinite level.

I stopped after work for a beer and a sandwich to go... well to be honest the to go food was not the greatest! But the after effect was spectacular! I stopped the night after, spoke to the manager and he comped my meal to make up for it! Now that is what I call customer service at it's finest! I've dined there before and have enjoyed it but the service that the manager John gave was GREAT!!! Kudos to them for taking care of things!! Also, the Peanut Butter burger is to die for!!

Awesome brisket and burger. Good service and fun atmosphere. Can't wait to try more things on the menu

We needed a quick dinner on the way home, it was great. Monday special is a burger and fries$5 . Didn't expect much wow was I wrong, all burgers are reduced accordingly. Our server lindsey was really good the beers were really cold and the onoin rings had a surly beer batter that made me want the fish next time iam in. It was busy and the tvs all had something good on. We will try again for sure . Try the poker chips smothered they are outstanding.

Been there several times with friends. We all decided that we would go back for drinks and the good service at the bar. First, the bathroom situation is clever, if you don't wash your hands leaving the restroom, everyone knows as the washing troughs are outside of the private facilities. Yay for that! Second, order a burger and fries and hope for ketchup that may be a norm in the midwest? Nope,,, a huge misswest on this, awful sweet red sauce in a bottle. All of our group agreed, never order food that you may require a bit of the staple Heinz zip. Terrible way to cut costs. With that said, we like to eat a meal with our drinks, so our visits will probably be, never again as most of us (also in the service industry on some level) agree if a business cuts costs on condiments, where else to they cut on quality?
(2)Jeff A.
We went for a simple pregame appetizer and drinks, it was not that busy but the service was so slow we had a challenge getting the simplest of things. I would not go back.

1 star only because zero stars isn't an option. This plays blows! I've never been escorted out of a bar in my life until I went here and don't ask for a reason because they won't give you one. Not only has it happened to me but to my husband and 2 other friends all on different days. Its ridiculous. If anyone needs to be escorted out it should be their servers because they SUCK! Worst service ever, the food is worthless and the bartender outside is the most obnoxious, rude, sexest guy I've ever met and I have no idea how he hasn't been served papers for sexual harassment towards the female wait staff and customers. Hmmmm, that gives me an idea!!!! Only go here if you enjoy recently turned 21 yr old idiots, bad service and getting thrown out with zero explanation. They clearly don't care what customers think considering they have horrible reviews all over the web. Suck it Wild Bills, suck it!

We planned to go bowling at the Brunswick zone on a Saturday night and needed to grab some food and drinks to gain some energy. The place was packed and we were seated in the area which we later realized was the dance floor after 10PM I guess (we were seated in a strategic location from where we got an eyeful of the surrounding's.....if you get my drift). I just ordered some wings and a Bourbon Teriyaki Burger. We ordered the wings with the Cajun Ranch and Jim Beam Buffalo sauce. I personally liked the Jim Beam buffalo but their sauces were nowhere in the neighborhood of hot (in terms of spice level) like they state on their menu. Also the wings were not crispy or hot so I presume they were fried a while ago. The Burger was good and filling. The overall food experience was OK. However they messed up one of my friends order in that he had requested onion rings instead of the fries along with his wrap. Now comes the sad part. As it got close to 10PM a couple of the bouncers who made us and I guess a few other tables around us uncomfortable. They kept gazing at the tables which were close to the dance floor. They kept intruding by clearing empty glasses on the tables pretty much suggesting we move soon. We were at least never told that at the time of being seated that the area would suddenly turn into a dance floor and therefore did not appreciate the constant intrusions. The review survived the extra 3rd star for the food that I tried which was ok and some of the waitresses who were reminiscent of their counterparts from Hooters. The place also has a good number of Televisions so guess not a bad option if you just want to watch a game with a couple of beers and decent food
