Good food, great service, electronic games to keep the kids entertained, more TVs than I've ever seen in a restaurant/bar, been there twice and haven't had to wait for a table yet.

Terrible went there for a late night craving wings were dry with hardly any sauce burger was jus gross. Service was decent only because we knew our server from another restaurant we use to frequent but for a place that was hardly busy during a sabers game service should of been top notch for a better tip. The best thing was playing the tv game on the big screen with others around us. If you have a craving for some good wings go to duffs in orchard park

I have to give big kudos to this BWW location! Our family went for dinner this past weekend and were pleasantly surprised at the customer service. We ordered and received our drinks and appetizer right away. It was taking a little longer than usual for our meals to come out. Our waitress came over, apologized for the wait and made sure we had full drinks at all times. I really didn't think that it was taking that long but the waitress was very apologetic. After a while a manager came over to apologize followed by another manager, our waitress and our food. They all apologized profusely and ended up taking 1/2 off of our bill! I was very surprise as I have never had a restaurant do that and I have waited alot longer in some other restaurants in the past. The food was very good and I can't say enough good things about the staff!

Seriously impressed. After reading reviews for the other Buffalo Wild Wings in the area I was thinking the wings were going to be god awful. Went here 11/24 for a last minute dinner and was blown away. I have never been to a Buffalo Wild Wings before but for a sports bar & grill this place is tops. I couldn't believe they actually put the sound on for the Sabres game in the entire restaurant. Eating wings, ribs, etc. and listening to RJ call the Sabres game is near nirvana for me. I have no idea why people complain about the size of the burgers here - especially for kids; one lady complained about the size of her child's [Grace] burger at the Williamsville location, "It was sooo small!" I sure do wish I knew you and just how big you are, because the burger size was probably MORE THAN reasonable for a child's portion. There are so many kids in this area that are 15 or younger that are HUGE - HUGE bellies like you'd expect to see on a 40 year old man. Stop stuffing oversized burgers, french fries, and high fructose corn syrup crap down their throats at every meal (and whining about portions sizes on top of that) and they just MIGHT stand a chance at a healthy lifestyle! Enough of my rant on the ridiculousness of neglectful parents... This restaurant is great! You just can't eat here every week (even though my taste buds would love to!) The wings were meaty and big. The flavor of the medium sauce was spot on (salty, tangy, and just the right amount of heat). The ribs were very tender and easy to eat. The "Buffalo Chips" (hahaha) were very tasty - even though they're just big grease sponges. :o) My wife & I were seriously impressed they had chicken tenders for kids that were REAL chicken breast and NOT breaded & fried! They were a bit salty, but we ran out and are having a quick unexpected meal - at least it's not McD's [something my kids will NEVER eat: goo.gl/ppOm ] Google "happy meal experiment" They'd only been open 2 days prior to our visit and so the kinks still need to be worked out (hence my not perfect rating) - such as figuring out which TV goes to which sound source; they had to keep changing the sound source and turning the volume up loud enough to hear it in the back room where the controls were to figure out if they had selected the right one yet. 10+ minutes of this and watching a silent Sabres game (with sudden unexpected blasts of random sound) was trying. Hope they survive because the place was fun. Oh, and don't be one of those parents who put your kid in front of a video monitor screen all night - spend some time enjoying a sport with them or talking about their day. Yes I'm judgmental, but have you seen the quality of parents these days???

Some nights the stars align. I've eaten at BWW at a couple of different places and thought, good, but not great. I don't know if it is proximity to Buffalo, but the food was great. Split the wings with regular and boneless and both were great. Beer was cold, the game was on and the service prompt.

There are 3 main chicken wing franchises in Buffalo: Duff's, Anchor Bar & Buffalo Wild Wings. I've had all 3 and this Wild Wings location may be the best of the bunch. You can argue until the cows come home about who invented the original home of the original chicken wing. I really don't care about that and everyone claims they created it. For me it's all about the sauce, the size of the wing, the quality/freshness of the oil and how long it's cooked for. Wild Wings excels on all counts. They have a fleet of original sauces, the wings are larger than most, they're cooked perfectly and on top of everything they come in lower on price per order than the other two by a very large margin. Anchor Bar weighs in at around $22-23 and the same goes for Duff's. Even if you don't take advantage of the various lunch-time/day of the week specials they run, a double (or 'Large' on their menu) order of wings from Wild Wings clocks in at $17.95! The Buffalo average is $1 per wing so they're lower than most. The size of their wings is larger than the average bear, too. I like my wings to have flavor and heat, so I ordered mine Blazin' last Thursday. They didn't disappoint. I've had Blazin' before and it's no joke. It's delicious but it packs a wallop, too. I could tell from the flavor that the wings were cooked to perfection, not too crispy, not too soft, and the oil was obviously clean because it didn't have the stale aftertaste I often get from a Duff's or a lesser pizzeria when they've been using the same oil for an entire week to cook everything in. My wings were so spectacular last week that I ordered the same thing again this Monday. They were just as phenomenal as the week before. The quality control at this location is spot on. Trash franchises all you want, but Wild Wings knows what they're doing. Mom and pops are great and corner pizzerias are great, too, but I've gotta tell you, if you're out of town (i.e.: out of Buffalo) and you have a choice between the kind of restaurant that runs ads every five minutes along with two-fer specials and the local branch of a Buffalo Wild Wings, it's a pretty easy choice for me. Keep up the great work!

BWW is not a bad place to grab some wings and watch a game on a big screen. They actually have a decent beer selection too. Just know that 99% of the menu items are deep-fried. Read other reviews for descriptions on wings. Anyways.....the only thing I have to say about this location as opposed to any other is consistently-slow food output. Plan on having a couple of beers before your food ever hits the table. This is an issue I've encountered here across multiple visits over the past few years.

We went at like 945pm we put in our order with an appetizer. The server said i am going to wait a few minutes to put in your appetizer so you can get it for half price at 10pm. I thought that was so nice of him to do that. We had the fried pickles and they were delicious! They had so many choices on their menu that it was hard for me to pick something. I chose the pepper jack steak wrap and boy did it have a kick to the taste buds. It was very tasty and the fries were cooked just right! My boyfriend got the buffalo mac and cheese; it was good but could have been cheesier. The service was great they were always making sure we were doing alright and had enough to drink. The food came out in a timely manor and when we didn't finish everything they gave us boxes lids for the dipping sauce and a bag to carry it in. They had so many tvs so i will be back to eat and watch a sporting event next time! this place give a spin on traditional american foods.

Received a gift card; have had their wings at Buffalo Wingfest, so we were eager to try some of their souces. Everything was fine, but nothing was spectacular. The wings were nice & crispy and a good size. The "hot" sauce didn't seem too hot at first, but then got hotter (this is a good thing.) The garlic parm wings - La Nova's are better. Spicy Thai chili? Meh. Nothing special. The waitress was kind enough to get us the happy hour price for our beers since we were not told that that price was only valid in the bar area until after we'd been seated. The fried cheese curds were good at the time, but thinking about them now makes me slightly nauseous. Not planning on going back - 3 beers, a appie & a total of 25 wings came to around $50. Woah.

You know, it's not often a resident of Buffalo goes to a Buffalo Wild Wings. With the plethora of great establishments to get wings in the area, Buffalo Wild Wings (which has nothing Buffalo about it) isn't usually anyone's first choice for wings, let alone dinner. I've been to a handful of BWW locations in my day and they are always cookie cutter average. Nothing amazing or horrible about them. Just average. This location however, takes the cake for being the first one I've been to that breaks the mold of mediocrity. But, not in a good way. Have you ever waited 30 minutes for boneless wings only to have them overcooked and undersauced? Have you ever ordered a ten dollar burger, served in a cheap plastic basket, that would have been outclassed by one from the Wendy's across the street? Have you ever had a waitress avoid your table because she knows you're unhappy with the service? I end my review with these hypothetical questions because if you answered yes to any one of them, I highly recommend the Buffalo Wild Wings on McKinely as your dinner destination.

Stopped in for a few beers and some food. Sat in the bar and the servers were amazing. Super nice polite and took care of us. The problem however was the food quality and the prices. We got the Quiso chips which was nothing more then a handful of chips and a cup of cheese with a few bites of burger placed on top for 7.50. I had a couple pints of Guinness and my jaw hit the floor when I got the bill. 6.50 per pint of Guinness. Never would I have expected to pay that much for a pint of Guinness at a sport bar. Extremely disappointed.

Came here wit my wife back in November, to watch the boxing match between pacquiao vs rios. Was seated right away and great view of the fight. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had their boneless wings and beers. We enjoyed our time very much. They let us watch several fights and kept food and drinks coming. We never felt rushed or anything. We will be back in the future.

Why bother? You could heat up frozen stuff from Wegmans instead of their appetizers, and it would taste better. Probably cheaper too.

They're not from Buffalo (they're from Minneapolis), they're not wild (although some of the customers are when sports are on), and the wings are awful. They used to serve Beef on Weck too - perish the thought. Apparently someone from Buffalo thought they could make a killing serving Buffalo wings to people outside Buffalo, and now they do. Unfortunately, they missed an important point: the wings should be good, and authentic, these are neither. I came here in 07 or 08 - I think I played some quiz and hung out with some friends. They were founded in Ohio. Their headquarters was in CT and now is in Minneapolis. There's nothing Buffalo about this place, for starters. How can people say these are good wings? How can people in Buffalo say this? Am I on another planet? This is Buffalo..... really. For wings in Buffalo, try Zip's for starters. It's on Hertel. Get them medium and extra saucy. Read the review of them that I wrote. Also known as Wiseguys on Hertel. Anchor Bar and Duff's are Awful. But not nearly as bad as this, bottom of the barrel, the-Taco-Bell-of-wings. Jesus. You mustn't, mustn't, mustn't come here for good food. The drinks selection is good, the atmosphere is good, and if you want to watch sports, it's second to none. If you like to participate in the odd quiz, you're in for some fun. But the food? Come on! You can't pretend to be a wing place if you're in Buffalo. It's worrying that so many Buffalonians actually come here and order wings. These are not wings! They're often served lukewarm, and you know that weird jellified texture wings get if you microwave them? Well all too many times... that's how they come out. In general I usually pass anything I eat here right through me. I'll only set foot in the place to watch a sports game and even then I try not to get the food. Also, the service can be horrendous, but that doesn't usually bother me. However, combine the bad food and the over-the-top prices, and you're better off coming here to drink and watch sports - and nothing else. In any case, would you rather support the local family, or the multi national corporations and the rich men on yachts in the Carribbean? Why are the parking lots of the awesome local places usually half empty (or completely empty)? Why are the national pizza chains always so busy? Why can they afford to open so late and get all the TV advertising and all the prime intersection locations? Why are they taking over the pizza scene in so many cities? Why go and support Buffalo Wild Wings, and so on? These places have systematically and coldly taken over the national food scene by using the cheapest ingredients, pre-packaged frozen systematic meals that are identical across the nation, ridiculously cheap prices for the polystyrene food on dollar menus, overpricing for everything else, rude underpaid employees on way less than minimum wage, and a ridiculously expensive mass brand advertising campaign that gets inside the heads of all the kids and the 20somethings and keeps them under the illusion that if it's not a brand name, it's not worth visiting. They spend all the money they should be investing in food and service, in advertising and cornering the market - the local places can't compete - and someday all we will be left with is the same chains serving the same food all over the world. That is our future. It's the way we're heading and you know it. Every time you eat at a bland national chain, you buy into that, you support that. Boycott chains. Support your local eateries. It's an embarrassment that generic brand national chains are even listed on a proper foodie website like Yelp, let alone getting 4 and 5 stars from so called foodies. Wake up, America, before we're all just batteries in the matrix.
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

That is our future. It's the way we're heading and you know it. Every time you eat at a bland national chain, you buy into that, you support that. Boycott chains. Support your local eateries. It's an embarrassment that generic brand national chains are even listed on a proper foodie website like Yelp, let alone getting 4 and 5 stars from so called foodies. Wake up, America, before we're all just batteries in the matrix.
