The traditional wings are the best in town! Especially on Tuesdays!

A great place to see games, and surprisingly family friendly

On the positive side, there are lots of huge TVs and they seem to know what the nationally and locally important games are, so unlike most "sports bars" around Salem you don't have to bother a (typically) disinterested person to switch channels for you. But, that's where it ends for me. Buffalo Wild Wings features very WEAK overpriced drinks, overpriced and grossly overrated food, and at least at this location, filthy bathrooms & rude patrons. I was recently there for a game along with an alumni group and the bartender squeezed a loud agitator from a rival team (clearly a friend or relative) up front along with the rest of us, and then proceeded to humor him, thereby emboldening his boorish behavior. This guy had no reason for being there other than to be disruptive, and the BWW staff enabled it to happen. They should have made this man wait for a proper seat, or, offered to seat him in the dining area as he was late in arriving and there was no room in the bar. BWW is a corporate marketing driven business that offers limited value to the consumer. If I had to go to one again, I would choose the Tualatin location if for no reason other than the patrons and staff are of much higher quality. I will never visit the Salem location again.

Amber was our waitress and she was phenomenal! She was quick for refills and very kind and made our visit very comfortable and worth it! The food came the fastest I have experienced in an BWW! We will definitely be visiting again!

Came here to watch a baseball game and have dinner with two friends. There happened to be a fight going on the big screen... we were on the wait list for over 2 hours standing in the bar area. We were never once paid attention to and asked if we wanted a drink. The icing on the cake was seeing multiple people at tables around the restaurant watching the fight with no food or drink, only waters for the duration of our wait. When I asked if they had any rules against people sitting and not ordering they said they couldn't do anything about it, they said that they couldn't kick people out of the restaurant. I told them they shouldn't kick anyone out.. they should however ask them if they are not ordering anything else to stand and watch the tv, and let people sit who are going to order sit and eat. Very dissatisfied!

The hubby brought home some wings for me. It's been a while since I last has BWW but I had a hankering for wings tonight. When they arrived they had absolutely no flavor. Despite having the labels of the requested seasonings they were just plain wings with a barely a sprinkle. Boo!

I always walk in to Buffalo Wild Wings knowing it's a chill place to have a few drinks and some decent chicken wings and never expect more because, let's face it, that's what the place is. I minused one star because their service isn't the greatest and the servers spend more time socializing with each other than anything else but again, it's Buffalo Wild Wings so I don't really care. There were seven of us so we ordered two large orders of traditional wings (Asian Zing, Blazin', Mango Habanero, and Desert Heat), Ultimate Nachos, and the kids got Mac & Cheese. All the flavors were very good although I always prefer Blazin' & Mango Habanero over everything. The nachos were interesting as I saw a few spoonfuls of nacho cheese at the bottom layer but couldn't find any more than that. I should have read the menu description better before ordering but, silly me, I thought nachos automatically came with cheese?? There was a good helping of carne, chopped lettuce, tomatoes on it and it was pretty tasty but I'll have to ask for extra extra extra cheese next time, you know, so it has cheese on it. My vodka cranberry was perfect and I loved the fun, loud, sporty atmosphere. This is one place I can take my kids and not have to shush them!

OK sports fans, I have been around Salem often on for a while and I will tell you that there are not very many sports bars in this town and when I say sports bars I mean bars that play the games on Sunday morning with actual sound. Or any other game for that matter, it is the strangest phenomenon I have ever seen, A city with bars on every corner that play football and baseball games and basketball games with no audio it is so annoying so that being said, Buffalo wild wings is probably one of the or the best place to watch sporting events in this town. It is great to go by yourself with a couple friends or with a big group, The service is fast and friendly and the food is decent TVs are everywhere and there is one TV that is like a little movie theater size gigantic and it is probably the largest collection of sports fans in one place on a Sunday that you're going to blind if you like crowds like I do. At the same time there is a full-service bar but there's not a lot of heavy drinkers so your kids are safe there.

I am a big fan of Buffalo Wild Wings, but not this one. Around 9pm, 9/8/15, a group of 18 of us from California were seated in the bar area. One couple had a 3 month old baby which apparently is not permitted in Oregon. The restaurant was busy but two sections were empty. We asked to be seated in either of the empty sections, but were told these areas were "closed". We asked to talk to the manager, Mike, who said the two areas were closed because he had nobody to serve them. The wait for a group of 18 was long, so we went elsewhere. Ironically, next door we ran into a server that Mike had sent home for the night and she was not happy about it. Mike has soured all of us on Buffalo Wild Wings.

I went here with my friend late night and ordered one of the build a burgers off that section of the menu and had a crispy chicken sandwich with all the fixins..was real good and real big. I didn't know how to eat it! We also had the for s which were a bit skinny and cool when we got them..the onion rings and mozzarella sticks were much better! Hot and good! I loved the lemonade limies or whatever they called, they like fizzy lemonades which I defend over the regular lemonades. Those were not worth around $5 bucks ..all the flavors of the limies were so tasty! All for a little less then $20 each..I probably won't come back anytime soon just because I don't like sports and they have more TVs playing that then i have ever seen. Good guys night out location but just isn't for me.

Great atmosphere and great food however their service just about ruins it for me. I have been here three times and every time they have managed to mess up our order in someway, not to mention some rude attitudes towards us as well. Sure hope this changes.

I have actually been to this Buffalo Wild Wings twice, so every time I have been to Salem. Yes, I know there are other places in Salem but I am always in the area to visit a friend and there is usually a game on we all want to watch so Buffalo Wild Wings it is. The place is okay. On this particular occasion there were a ton of people waiting to be seated and at least five tables that were dirty waiting to be bussed. We decided to go the bar and the same thing was happening there. It might not be so chaotic and messy if the place had more staff cleaning up quickly. The place is never squeaky clean but what do you expect from a sports bar on a Sunday? The wings are good and I have never had anything bad to say about them. They have a ton of sauces and beers on tap as well as a full bar.

Came here for one of my many birthday lunches around town! Came with my sister this time. I ordered the new Caramel Salted BBQ Boneless Wings. The sauce this time was plentiful and they gave me plenty of ranch to dip them in. But again there was more breading than chicken. The sauce was fantastic though, I really enjoyed it. Because it was my birthday I also got a free dessert! So I chose the Cheesecake bites. They were fabulous! My sister and I both really liked them. My sister decided she wanted to try the Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream. We both thought the cake was a bit on the dry side. But chocolate cake is a tough one to keep moist. My sister got some buffalo wing sliders and she really enjoyed them. The fries weren't that great though. The service again was top notch. Our waitress was on top of everything. I still prefer the wings from other places more, but this place is growing on me everytime because of their top notch service.

Roger S.
I'm sorry to say but my visit there with my good buddy and I were very disappointed in the wings. the spices were lacking in the wings and really just fairly bland even when we or the very hot. nice beer selection and the interior of the restaurants decorated very mildly in a sports mind. I'm sure there are other places too can offer better wings and this was not one of them I really had hoped based upon the reputation it would be better.

Robert L.
It's a national chain sports bar. It has a trillion TVs, great sound, good food(not the best), great beer selection and full bar. The service is the horrible, but what the hell do you want. You don't go here for the service. WINGS, BEER, SPORTS. That's it.
(4)
Fredrick D.
You cannot beat this place when it comes to the number of televisions they have, but aside from that I would never come here again. The beer is more expensive here than anything I have found in Salem. Yay it's $8 beer night! The food is not very good, and their tap list is made up of National crap mostly. Hardly any nice PNW beer. Huge let down. Another travesty of a soulless chain, with ditzy bar tenders unfortunately.

Womp womp..... Sorry Buffalo Wild Wings, I'm going with a 2 star for you. Been visiting this place about once a month with some work colleagues, but I'm not a huge fan. I think I just had higher expectations for some reason but let's be honest, this is basically a sports bar. The wings are good, especially if you get in during happy hour. Service isn't that great though, my waitress forgot my drink and it took about 20 minutes for me to remind her. Pretty sure she also got me the wrong size as well. Will be hesitant about coming back here, unless there's a good basketball game o, then I can forgive this two star rating.

Dawn M.
You're food is so good I can't stop going here but your service sucks over and over again. I was recently at a BWW in Olympia WA and you should take notes from them. It was like dining at a 5 star restaurant. I wish someone with good service could compete against you.

Paul L.
Salem's best sports bar hands down. There are TV's every where with all the games going on during the day. They have a pretty good happy hour and lunch hour too. The service is pretty good but during peak hours at night you can experience some longer wait times.

Went to Buffalo Wild Wings on Center St tonight. It was rather dead because of Easter. We were ok w that. We went inside and met by a hostess. She informed me that her position was a CGR. I asked what she meant and she didn't know. Hmmm. We were given sticky menus. Gross. Wanted to wash my hands right away. Oh wipes at the table, thank goodness! Great greeting from our server and prompt. Good! They are slow. As I look around waiting for our order I observe a filthy floor. It's dead! Plenty of time to clean w a hoakie. The food was so so. You may think your customers are truly distracted by the crazy amount of TVs. As that is a distraction there are plenty who join a party and can care less what's going on around on TV screens. This place is filthy and gross. Clean it up! Won't be dreaming of going back...

I was so happy to hear BWW was coming to town. I'd never eaten there before and I love wings. Well, not these wings. I've had the boneless and regular and several different rubs and sauces and I didn't like any of them. They taste like they've been boiled or something--tasteless and the texture is just weird. The other food I've tried is just okay. What I do like is they have TV trivia, I'll go in there just for that and drinks. But the wings? Try KFC's hot wings--they're 100% better.

*****Clearly an organization with a decent head on its shoulders. Anyone who is upset over the fact that the business doesn't want untrained gun-toting nuts parading through its establishment should be commended. Anyone who takes issue with their second amendment rights being violated should go picket in front of a courthouse, hospital, school, airport, or the White House. Since these places strictly prohibit the "exercising" of ones second amendment rights I hardly find it relevant or damning that BBW does as well. Good for you, BBW**** (This should make pansy-whiney baby Geoff P. Happy) My parents are head over heels in love with this restaurant. I have to say, I don't get it. It's terribly overpriced and the food is just not that good. I assume that this could be because of their need to cover the 21 televisions they have in just their main dining room alone. Regardless, I have a problem with paying $6.79 for 6 wings, sans sides, especially considering the fact that no one (and I mean no one) is satisfied after six measly wings. I also have a huge problem paying nearly $10 for a salad that is comprised of rusted lettuce. I find the menu to be one of the most confusing I've ever encountered. Why it is they cannot create a clear menu with complete meal options is beyond me. I hate a la carte pricing--I just want to know what a dang meal is going to cost! Also annoying is their apparent desire to be 'hip'. "Hand spun" wings? Really? Ugh. I really encourage you all to consider the price per wing as you move up the menu in wing numbers. I think you'll be surprised by their math.

Ten minutes in the bar, not overly crowded, ignored by at least five wait staff while every table around me was served again. I know this was "again" because their tables had plenty of empty glasses. I had nothing at all. So I left. Cheap wings is not worth that lack of attention.

Christma G.
Loved the friendly staff here. We called ahead and our table for 14 was ready as soon as we got there. The manager sat us and explained how the menu worked right away. The server was professional, and the bus-girls were great with drinks and tons of napkins. It was our first time there and can't wait to try it again next time we are in town.

It may be a national chain, but they got Blazin' sauce, and pandas like me love that stuff. In what has become a regular episode of gluttonous, gut-agitating noshing, I wanted to one-up the ol' Blazin' challenge (IIRC, it's 12 traditional Blazin' wings in six minutes, no liquids or napkins allowed). Memorial Day brought a cool special: 25 wings (boneless or traditional) for just $14.99. My friend from SoCal was in town and heard of my (stupid and crazy) talent to tolerate spicy food. Pandas don't mind showing off a tad to friends. We came in on Sunday (5/27). 25 Blazin' boneless wings it was, just so I didn't have to fiddle with the bone and get spice burns on my hands (already did enough of that this past week dangit). I then reached into my bag (literally) and pulled out another plastic bag of three hot sauces: habanero sauce, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion hot sauce, and an extract topping 2 million Scoville units. A healthy amount went on all 25 boneless wings (a.k.a. chicken nuggets). Yeah, these were Super Blazin' nuggets. Chernobyl Panda Nuggets. The nuggets had a great crunch on the outside, still fairly moist on the inside. I finally reached for the water probably around 13-15 nuggets. All 25 nuggets (plus carrots and celery) done in probably...17 minutes. Good amount of perspiration in this one, so I'll count this as an extra gym session. The multiple TVs had baseball games going, so I had a good distraction from the building heat. The place wasn't even a week old (I arrived on their sixth day of business). Staff was great. My server, Jeremiah, marveled at what I had just done. I'm sure he thought I was just a tad nuts.... Yeah, I videotaped most of this, to be uploaded in the future. It's YouTube gold! (Maybe not.) I'll be back and attempt to not be as weird next time (key word "attempt"). Maybe I can actually try to be more normal and just get a few wings that won't turn my stomach into Chernobyl.

the bww in portland are much better. salem is home to subpar chain restaurants. the wings are good, but not amazing. the manager did comp my meal as my boneless wings and fries were cold.

Tony K.
I love this place! Not the best wings I have ever had but for a restaurant chain they rock. I can't believe I had to wait in line the first week it opened. I mean seriously everyone in salem should have known that I was going there and every one else should have made other plans. This restaurant is lucky I don't give one star ratings if I have to wait in line the first week they open since that is how I judge their food and service.

Kent V.
I wish I could tell you about the food. The hostess lied about the wait time because "she was told to." She told me 20 minutes. After 40 minutes passed, she told me it would be 30 minutes more. Manager had no solution. I would never wait 70 minutes for wings. Secondly, I will never spend money at a place that purposefully lies about wait times.

James H.
Ok listen. Im a fan... i like the restaurant... good food, I like the Wings... my girl loves the flatbread pizzas. Its an ADD persons happy place... lots of screens everywhere. Service is marginal but mostly friendly. Beer prices are crazy high. 7 bucks for a pilsner glass. Its nice they have some craft brew options. I think Happy Hour will be the new time to come for us.. but dont count on getting out for under $30 bucks.

Dropped in here with a friend after a day of shopping in Portland and on a whim decided to call and see if he wanted to meet up at BWW. There was a ton of cars in the parking lot, and a bunch of people just hanging out by the front door, so we thought we might be in for a wait. There was no wait however, as apparently a game had just finished and the majority of the people were leaving. The peppy hostess sat us at a high table in the bar area, where the music volume was pretty loud if I do say so myself. This made conversation a little annoying, but we dealt. Our waiter can right over, pulled up a chair, and said "What's up?" As I had never been to a BWWs before I can't say if this is standard procedure or not, but it was a little strange. He sat there for a minute making small talk, going over a few questions on the beer selection I had, and then took our order. I had eaten earlier, but my friend was hungry and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a side of mild BBQ wings (I cannot recall exactly what flavor he choose). After my discussion concerning the beer, I selected a brew that had lemonade flavors. This was a poor choice, as it was not very good at all. My friend offered a wing, so I graciously accepted. Wings are not normally my first pick when it comes to food lineups, they are messy and I have a thing about sticky fingers. . . But, I sucked it up and ate it, mess and all. It was pretty good, not a lot of fat and the sauce was delicious. I can see this being an alright place to chill for a game with a bunch of friends. The staff were all upbeat and quick, there was plenty of space for everyone between the two seating areas, and no matter where I looked - there was a TV.

Missy W.
I have to say the beer selection is great! I will return to drink for beer for sure. The food, on the other hand, still makes me quesy to think about. I am consistantly dissapointed with my food experience which is why I only order beer when I go. I have honestly never had wings that are freshly prepared. A friend of mine is a waitress there and she said they are not cooked to order. They are cooked sometimes a couple hours ahead of time and sit under a heatlamp. The sauce is applied and then warmed up and sent out. Yuck. The wings are always wayyyyy over sauced.

My Husband and I went here with a large group of friends (at least 11-12). We started in the bar, not knowing that one of our friends brought his two boys that are minors. The waitress had no problem switching us to a different section to accommodate this mix though. What I found kind of confusing was the menu and the specials. There were so many different flyers on the table that it was hard to track what special went with what day and what time. Other then that it was nice and clean and we had tons of fun with our friends.

Amy A.
Service was great, we got the food to go so we didn't get waited on, but the manager made certain we were taken care of and just all around good experience...except that I forgot to get 2 cheese instead of a cheese and a mustard... Who puts mustard on pretzels?!?!? Gross...

Tara S.
Ok, so I have chosen to write about the Salem Buffalo Wild Wings first since it my most recent experience with this HORRIBLE establishment. I have to tell you I heard so many people raving about this place, that of course I wanted to try it, but I just don't know what all the rave reviews are about? We went to this particular site for a birthday lunch with a group of friends. We did this on our lunch hour during the work week, and unless you have a two hour lunch, and I DON'T then you may want to choose another location. So when we arrived the entire group was not there; however, they sat us and within a few minutes the waitress came over and took drink orders for those of us that were there, sounds good right? Yeah, well it ended there. When the rest of the people got there the waitress did not come to get a drink order or food order until one of the people in the group went looking for a manager. Look I get it, if your restaurant is busy it may take a little longer to get your needs met, but it was NOT busy. When she finally came over to take the order she seemed a bit irritated, and the person who had spoken to the manager just let her know that we only have an hour so that is why we needed to get our order in, again the waitress seemed irritated but she still took the order and did her job. So we get the food and honestly it is nothing special and to me the prices were a bit high for what you get. I guess having a bunch of sauces to choose from is cool, along with all the T.V.'s to watch your favorite sport, but I left this Buffalo Wild Wings knowing this was the second bad experience, and I feel no need to ever give it another shot. If you like this place more power to you; however, this is no place I will ever choose to eat at again.

First impression; dang the music is loud. Second impression, look at all of the huge TV's and framed with smaller ones. Third, maybe I am too old for this place (54). The service was at least 4 stars, but the food was ok, run of the mill. Like other reviewers, the menu was a little confusing but workable. I actually thought the 2 fish tacos which were OK, even if they were essentially two fish sticks (breaded appetizers) and normal taco fillings in a flour tortilla per taco. Maybe I was too hungry to care the fish was breaded. The beer was served in a tall glass and was good until I noted it was $5.50 for a cheap 'ol Coors light. Almost the same price as a pony key! I would try it again but actually try some expensive wing parts, although my wife thought not. $33.00 for lunch counting the $6 tip. Apparently BWW is a no CCW establishment?? We did not note this. However, we made it out alive, even though we were robbed on the price of cheap beer served in a tall glass. :)

Their food is great... If you ever get it. My wife and I walked in yesterday to grab a bite on their wing Tuesday special. We went into the bar because the restaurant was pretty busy. After about 10 minutes we were asked by a very nice waitress if we had been welcomed yet. We said no so she apologized and brought us water. She said she would let our server know that we were there. Then we waited. And waited. After 40 minutes of sitting there with our menus open on the table, we decided its not worth it. We walked out hungry and they lost our money. Applebee's was very accommodating. In short, this has been our experience the last 3 times there. The first time we excused it cuz they just opened, the second time our great waiter made up for it, but this time, that is completely unacceptable.

Went late on a Tuesday for happy hour! Place was packed. Sat in the bar and our server was named Bree! Shes straight to the point, fun, friendly, and helpful. We got exactly what we ordered and enjoyed our evening there. It has tv's all over the place and the atmosphere was good! Kinda loud but get over it. All n all, fun and enjoyable.

This is probably a 3.5 star review. I would change my score with another go at the menu, and an in-restaurant experience, a opposed to take-out. After a day of watching football, my wife suggested picking up Buffalo Wild Wings for the nightcap (what a woman!). Upon picking it up I noticed the place was packed with Oregon fans. Seems like it would be a fun atmosphere for a big game. Definitely a football fan's dream. It appears that there are numerous drink, food, and wing specials throughout the season. The food was actually pretty good. I got a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, mixed with their Jalapeño sauce. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the sauce, but "sizzling", as is described on the menu, it isn't- at least for me. The size of the chicken breast was huge, and cooked the same throughout, which was nice. I did find the bun flavorful, yet pretty small. The toppings were pretty simplistic- lettuce leaf, tomatoes, and onions, but I guess if I just order a simple dish, I shouldn't complain. So I won't. The fries were decent but would obviously have been better if they were fresh and hot- not their fault. My wife's chicken tenders salad was described as pretty good. She said the chicken, with mild buffalo sauce, was really good but the lettuce was just 'meh. In all, it was a successful dinner. At $19, it was a little high for what we ordered, but decent I guess. I would be interested to see how things go in the restaurant next time.

Finally waited for this place to die down. First couple weeks of opening, this place was swamped! Just tried this place with a friend yesterday, went there a little after 11 pm. Customer service was good for the most part. No one tried to push us out when it was near closing time (midnight). Now, let's talk about food. The chicken wings were a bit overcooked. Hence, fried for a few minutes too long, and you can feel/taste that on the skin. Sauce (we had Parmesan Garlic), was a bit too salty, but I don't expect much. Most restaurant foods are overly salty. Atmosphere: WAYY too many TVs than necessary. One in every corner of your eyeball. At least 10 TVs in each room, and they only show 3 channels. Also, music was very loud. Had to sit adjacent to my friend to have a comfortable conversation without straining my throat. Probably won't be coming back here anytime soon, unless a friend REALLIE wants to come here.

After waiting to be seated for about an hour, I was very disappointed in the services and the food. The food wasn't anything great. The server got the both our orders wrong. They have discounted the rib but didn't tell us or take them off the menu. I had bone in wings and boneless wing with fries. My wife got chicken tacos. The chickens tacos were more lettuces then anything, my wings were okay. I had didn't get ranch with my carrots so I asked the servers for some. She came back about 15 mins later, and then another server came over with some. Doesn't seem like they are communicating well. Overall the prices are pretty high for bar food. I won't be coming back!

Typical mainstream sports bar. Sat at the bar, ok service. Our second bartender was actually really great--poured 2 "graveyards" for us. Yes. Graveyards...beer graveyards. Just for fun. She probably hated us but served us with a smile. Lots of tvs for watching the game(s). Didnt have food but I can imagine it would be normal chain restaurant stuff.

Had the cheese burger slammers......... Uh ya............slammers. These were very gross mini cheese burgers. Not impressed, should have tried something else....maybe the wings?? Love the many screens to watch your favorite sports. With the screens and the friendly help, I kept it at 3 stars.

Ate here for the first time today due to getting off work much earlier than anticipated and having nothing to do. I have read prior reviews and was worried, but thought I would still give it a shot. I sat in the bar area so I could watch some golf and college football. I apparently got much more lucky than past reviewers. I had a wonderful not to mention gorgeous server that was very friendly and helpful. I ordered 10 wings with hot sauce, and the spicy garlic. The wings were the biggest I have seen offered anywhere. The server got my order exactly right, and was checking on me often if I needed more napkins or sauce, etc. I had a wonderful time and will be back again soon. I think others might have just had bad luck due to it being relatively new. Also looks like another manager was being trained today and he seemed really friendly and helpful so I recommend everyone that didn't like it to give it one more shot. If all else fails, they have beer and beautiful servers.

Kind of the only big thing in Salem for drinks and a game. Decent service, smaller demographics compared to Portland so the wait is much shorter. 21+? Bar access and no wait! Catch happy hour after 9! 3 dollar options! No wings in happy hour though, kind of a downer for a wings restaurant.
(3)
Will F.
Every thing here sucks!!!! Except fot the wings.... the wings are great. I dont know how they can have such great wings when everything else about this place sucks. First off the service is super slow. it takes forever to be seated. Second everything here is spicy. i love spicy stuff but i can never get my girl to go because everything is hot here. And third the wings are expensive so I think when customers oreder 15 bucks in wing s, and 2 overpriced beers we should get more then 3 dinky half limp celery sticks. But I wil keep returning because I am addicted to the wings. the wings really are great. So three stars to the wings, but thats it.

First off, It is a sports oriented restaurant, there are tv's wall to wall and it is noisy. Get past it if you want some of the best wings you've ever tasted. I went in with four other family members and between us we ordered 66 chicken wings in a variety of sauces and rubs. Every single one of them were good. My preference is the Chipotle BBQ rub! to die for! Went last week and got the sampler appetizer and they give you this pile of onion rings that were cooked to perfection. Not real greasy either. As a previous reviewer is trying to pick the servings apart, I don't think they are really looking at weather the bows or drums are counted equal. It doesn't really matter to me, they are equally good and the bows have ample meat on them. All in all this is a good place to eat. Lunch may be a bit quieter. If you come for dinner, come early or there will be a wait. The staff are all friendly and helpful. I left good tips both times!

The traditional wings are the best in town! Especially on Tuesdays!

A great place to see games, and surprisingly family friendly
(4)Dennis K.
On the positive side, there are lots of huge TVs and they seem to know what the nationally and locally important games are, so unlike most "sports bars" around Salem you don't have to bother a (typically) disinterested person to switch channels for you. But, that's where it ends for me. Buffalo Wild Wings features very WEAK overpriced drinks, overpriced and grossly overrated food, and at least at this location, filthy bathrooms & rude patrons. I was recently there for a game along with an alumni group and the bartender squeezed a loud agitator from a rival team (clearly a friend or relative) up front along with the rest of us, and then proceeded to humor him, thereby emboldening his boorish behavior. This guy had no reason for being there other than to be disruptive, and the BWW staff enabled it to happen. They should have made this man wait for a proper seat, or, offered to seat him in the dining area as he was late in arriving and there was no room in the bar. BWW is a corporate marketing driven business that offers limited value to the consumer. If I had to go to one again, I would choose the Tualatin location if for no reason other than the patrons and staff are of much higher quality. I will never visit the Salem location again.

Amber was our waitress and she was phenomenal! She was quick for refills and very kind and made our visit very comfortable and worth it! The food came the fastest I have experienced in an BWW! We will definitely be visiting again!
(5)Sean B.
The food was awesome and the service was super fast! The Server Amber rocked also! Great place to have a quick bite!

Came here to watch a baseball game and have dinner with two friends. There happened to be a fight going on the big screen... we were on the wait list for over 2 hours standing in the bar area. We were never once paid attention to and asked if we wanted a drink. The icing on the cake was seeing multiple people at tables around the restaurant watching the fight with no food or drink, only waters for the duration of our wait. When I asked if they had any rules against people sitting and not ordering they said they couldn't do anything about it, they said that they couldn't kick people out of the restaurant. I told them they shouldn't kick anyone out.. they should however ask them if they are not ordering anything else to stand and watch the tv, and let people sit who are going to order sit and eat. Very dissatisfied!

Best time ever, young tall white kid with a foehawk made me wished i lived in Salem would go every night.
(5)The Mrs L.
The hubby brought home some wings for me. It's been a while since I last has BWW but I had a hankering for wings tonight. When they arrived they had absolutely no flavor. Despite having the labels of the requested seasonings they were just plain wings with a barely a sprinkle. Boo!
(1)Erika R.
I always walk in to Buffalo Wild Wings knowing it's a chill place to have a few drinks and some decent chicken wings and never expect more because, let's face it, that's what the place is. I minused one star because their service isn't the greatest and the servers spend more time socializing with each other than anything else but again, it's Buffalo Wild Wings so I don't really care. There were seven of us so we ordered two large orders of traditional wings (Asian Zing, Blazin', Mango Habanero, and Desert Heat), Ultimate Nachos, and the kids got Mac & Cheese. All the flavors were very good although I always prefer Blazin' & Mango Habanero over everything. The nachos were interesting as I saw a few spoonfuls of nacho cheese at the bottom layer but couldn't find any more than that. I should have read the menu description better before ordering but, silly me, I thought nachos automatically came with cheese?? There was a good helping of carne, chopped lettuce, tomatoes on it and it was pretty tasty but I'll have to ask for extra extra extra cheese next time, you know, so it has cheese on it. My vodka cranberry was perfect and I loved the fun, loud, sporty atmosphere. This is one place I can take my kids and not have to shush them!

OK sports fans, I have been around Salem often on for a while and I will tell you that there are not very many sports bars in this town and when I say sports bars I mean bars that play the games on Sunday morning with actual sound. Or any other game for that matter, it is the strangest phenomenon I have ever seen, A city with bars on every corner that play football and baseball games and basketball games with no audio it is so annoying so that being said, Buffalo wild wings is probably one of the or the best place to watch sporting events in this town. It is great to go by yourself with a couple friends or with a big group, The service is fast and friendly and the food is decent TVs are everywhere and there is one TV that is like a little movie theater size gigantic and it is probably the largest collection of sports fans in one place on a Sunday that you're going to blind if you like crowds like I do. At the same time there is a full-service bar but there's not a lot of heavy drinkers so your kids are safe there.
(4)Brenton H.
I am a big fan of Buffalo Wild Wings, but not this one. Around 9pm, 9/8/15, a group of 18 of us from California were seated in the bar area. One couple had a 3 month old baby which apparently is not permitted in Oregon. The restaurant was busy but two sections were empty. We asked to be seated in either of the empty sections, but were told these areas were "closed". We asked to talk to the manager, Mike, who said the two areas were closed because he had nobody to serve them. The wait for a group of 18 was long, so we went elsewhere. Ironically, next door we ran into a server that Mike had sent home for the night and she was not happy about it. Mike has soured all of us on Buffalo Wild Wings.
(1)Aleksandr B.
I went here with my friend late night and ordered one of the build a burgers off that section of the menu and had a crispy chicken sandwich with all the fixins..was real good and real big. I didn't know how to eat it! We also had the for s which were a bit skinny and cool when we got them..the onion rings and mozzarella sticks were much better! Hot and good! I loved the lemonade limies or whatever they called, they like fizzy lemonades which I defend over the regular lemonades. Those were not worth around $5 bucks ..all the flavors of the limies were so tasty! All for a little less then $20 each..I probably won't come back anytime soon just because I don't like sports and they have more TVs playing that then i have ever seen. Good guys night out location but just isn't for me.
(4)Jordan S.
Great atmosphere and great food however their service just about ruins it for me. I have been here three times and every time they have managed to mess up our order in someway, not to mention some rude attitudes towards us as well. Sure hope this changes.
(2)Nelson S.
Happy hour here is really the only time to come. The sliders are pretty good and you can't beat the drink specials.
(3)Tim H.
Awful service and food. So sad because it has a great atmosphere. Got one star for beer selection. Just couldn't get anyone tio get me one.
(1)Jeremy M.
Try the Blazin' Sauce..especially if you like it HOT!! Their wings rock!!
(5)Courtney D.
I have actually been to this Buffalo Wild Wings twice, so every time I have been to Salem. Yes, I know there are other places in Salem but I am always in the area to visit a friend and there is usually a game on we all want to watch so Buffalo Wild Wings it is. The place is okay. On this particular occasion there were a ton of people waiting to be seated and at least five tables that were dirty waiting to be bussed. We decided to go the bar and the same thing was happening there. It might not be so chaotic and messy if the place had more staff cleaning up quickly. The place is never squeaky clean but what do you expect from a sports bar on a Sunday? The wings are good and I have never had anything bad to say about them. They have a ton of sauces and beers on tap as well as a full bar.
(3)Eric E.
Came here for one of my many birthday lunches around town! Came with my sister this time. I ordered the new Caramel Salted BBQ Boneless Wings. The sauce this time was plentiful and they gave me plenty of ranch to dip them in. But again there was more breading than chicken. The sauce was fantastic though, I really enjoyed it. Because it was my birthday I also got a free dessert! So I chose the Cheesecake bites. They were fabulous! My sister and I both really liked them. My sister decided she wanted to try the Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream. We both thought the cake was a bit on the dry side. But chocolate cake is a tough one to keep moist. My sister got some buffalo wing sliders and she really enjoyed them. The fries weren't that great though. The service again was top notch. Our waitress was on top of everything. I still prefer the wings from other places more, but this place is growing on me everytime because of their top notch service.
(3)Roger S.
I'm sorry to say but my visit there with my good buddy and I were very disappointed in the wings. the spices were lacking in the wings and really just fairly bland even when we or the very hot. nice beer selection and the interior of the restaurants decorated very mildly in a sports mind. I'm sure there are other places too can offer better wings and this was not one of them I really had hoped based upon the reputation it would be better.
(2)Robert L.
It's a national chain sports bar. It has a trillion TVs, great sound, good food(not the best), great beer selection and full bar. The service is the horrible, but what the hell do you want. You don't go here for the service. WINGS, BEER, SPORTS. That's it.
(4)Fredrick D.
You cannot beat this place when it comes to the number of televisions they have, but aside from that I would never come here again. The beer is more expensive here than anything I have found in Salem. Yay it's $8 beer night! The food is not very good, and their tap list is made up of National crap mostly. Hardly any nice PNW beer. Huge let down. Another travesty of a soulless chain, with ditzy bar tenders unfortunately.
(1)Julia S.
Womp womp..... Sorry Buffalo Wild Wings, I'm going with a 2 star for you. Been visiting this place about once a month with some work colleagues, but I'm not a huge fan. I think I just had higher expectations for some reason but let's be honest, this is basically a sports bar. The wings are good, especially if you get in during happy hour. Service isn't that great though, my waitress forgot my drink and it took about 20 minutes for me to remind her. Pretty sure she also got me the wrong size as well. Will be hesitant about coming back here, unless there's a good basketball game o, then I can forgive this two star rating.
(2)Dawn M.
You're food is so good I can't stop going here but your service sucks over and over again. I was recently at a BWW in Olympia WA and you should take notes from them. It was like dining at a 5 star restaurant. I wish someone with good service could compete against you.
(1)Paul L.
Salem's best sports bar hands down. There are TV's every where with all the games going on during the day. They have a pretty good happy hour and lunch hour too. The service is pretty good but during peak hours at night you can experience some longer wait times.
(3)J B.
Went to Buffalo Wild Wings on Center St tonight. It was rather dead because of Easter. We were ok w that. We went inside and met by a hostess. She informed me that her position was a CGR. I asked what she meant and she didn't know. Hmmm. We were given sticky menus. Gross. Wanted to wash my hands right away. Oh wipes at the table, thank goodness! Great greeting from our server and prompt. Good! They are slow. As I look around waiting for our order I observe a filthy floor. It's dead! Plenty of time to clean w a hoakie. The food was so so. You may think your customers are truly distracted by the crazy amount of TVs. As that is a distraction there are plenty who join a party and can care less what's going on around on TV screens. This place is filthy and gross. Clean it up! Won't be dreaming of going back...
(2)Jill D.
I was so happy to hear BWW was coming to town. I'd never eaten there before and I love wings. Well, not these wings. I've had the boneless and regular and several different rubs and sauces and I didn't like any of them. They taste like they've been boiled or something--tasteless and the texture is just weird. The other food I've tried is just okay. What I do like is they have TV trivia, I'll go in there just for that and drinks. But the wings? Try KFC's hot wings--they're 100% better.
(2)Erin H.
*****Clearly an organization with a decent head on its shoulders. Anyone who is upset over the fact that the business doesn't want untrained gun-toting nuts parading through its establishment should be commended. Anyone who takes issue with their second amendment rights being violated should go picket in front of a courthouse, hospital, school, airport, or the White House. Since these places strictly prohibit the "exercising" of ones second amendment rights I hardly find it relevant or damning that BBW does as well. Good for you, BBW**** (This should make pansy-whiney baby Geoff P. Happy) My parents are head over heels in love with this restaurant. I have to say, I don't get it. It's terribly overpriced and the food is just not that good. I assume that this could be because of their need to cover the 21 televisions they have in just their main dining room alone. Regardless, I have a problem with paying $6.79 for 6 wings, sans sides, especially considering the fact that no one (and I mean no one) is satisfied after six measly wings. I also have a huge problem paying nearly $10 for a salad that is comprised of rusted lettuce. I find the menu to be one of the most confusing I've ever encountered. Why it is they cannot create a clear menu with complete meal options is beyond me. I hate a la carte pricing--I just want to know what a dang meal is going to cost! Also annoying is their apparent desire to be 'hip'. "Hand spun" wings? Really? Ugh. I really encourage you all to consider the price per wing as you move up the menu in wing numbers. I think you'll be surprised by their math.
(2)Jeff H.
Ten minutes in the bar, not overly crowded, ignored by at least five wait staff while every table around me was served again. I know this was "again" because their tables had plenty of empty glasses. I had nothing at all. So I left. Cheap wings is not worth that lack of attention.
(1)Christma G.
Loved the friendly staff here. We called ahead and our table for 14 was ready as soon as we got there. The manager sat us and explained how the menu worked right away. The server was professional, and the bus-girls were great with drinks and tons of napkins. It was our first time there and can't wait to try it again next time we are in town.
(5)Aaron W.
It may be a national chain, but they got Blazin' sauce, and pandas like me love that stuff. In what has become a regular episode of gluttonous, gut-agitating noshing, I wanted to one-up the ol' Blazin' challenge (IIRC, it's 12 traditional Blazin' wings in six minutes, no liquids or napkins allowed). Memorial Day brought a cool special: 25 wings (boneless or traditional) for just $14.99. My friend from SoCal was in town and heard of my (stupid and crazy) talent to tolerate spicy food. Pandas don't mind showing off a tad to friends. We came in on Sunday (5/27). 25 Blazin' boneless wings it was, just so I didn't have to fiddle with the bone and get spice burns on my hands (already did enough of that this past week dangit). I then reached into my bag (literally) and pulled out another plastic bag of three hot sauces: habanero sauce, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion hot sauce, and an extract topping 2 million Scoville units. A healthy amount went on all 25 boneless wings (a.k.a. chicken nuggets). Yeah, these were Super Blazin' nuggets. Chernobyl Panda Nuggets. The nuggets had a great crunch on the outside, still fairly moist on the inside. I finally reached for the water probably around 13-15 nuggets. All 25 nuggets (plus carrots and celery) done in probably...17 minutes. Good amount of perspiration in this one, so I'll count this as an extra gym session. The multiple TVs had baseball games going, so I had a good distraction from the building heat. The place wasn't even a week old (I arrived on their sixth day of business). Staff was great. My server, Jeremiah, marveled at what I had just done. I'm sure he thought I was just a tad nuts.... Yeah, I videotaped most of this, to be uploaded in the future. It's YouTube gold! (Maybe not.) I'll be back and attempt to not be as weird next time (key word "attempt"). Maybe I can actually try to be more normal and just get a few wings that won't turn my stomach into Chernobyl.
(4)Casey L.
One of my favorite places in town. Chad and Ashley are great bartenders. They are very attentive and personable.
(5)Darren H.
Came to watch a game. Very noisy and there are no chairs comfortable enough to make it through an entire game. Solid wood stools mostly. Good food and friendly service but way way too expensive for beer and wings
(2)Evan L.
the bww in portland are much better. salem is home to subpar chain restaurants. the wings are good, but not amazing. the manager did comp my meal as my boneless wings and fries were cold.
(2)Tony K.
I love this place! Not the best wings I have ever had but for a restaurant chain they rock. I can't believe I had to wait in line the first week it opened. I mean seriously everyone in salem should have known that I was going there and every one else should have made other plans. This restaurant is lucky I don't give one star ratings if I have to wait in line the first week they open since that is how I judge their food and service.
(4)Kent V.
I wish I could tell you about the food. The hostess lied about the wait time because "she was told to." She told me 20 minutes. After 40 minutes passed, she told me it would be 30 minutes more. Manager had no solution. I would never wait 70 minutes for wings. Secondly, I will never spend money at a place that purposefully lies about wait times.
(1)James H.
Ok listen. Im a fan... i like the restaurant... good food, I like the Wings... my girl loves the flatbread pizzas. Its an ADD persons happy place... lots of screens everywhere. Service is marginal but mostly friendly. Beer prices are crazy high. 7 bucks for a pilsner glass. Its nice they have some craft brew options. I think Happy Hour will be the new time to come for us.. but dont count on getting out for under $30 bucks.
(3)Laura S.
Dropped in here with a friend after a day of shopping in Portland and on a whim decided to call and see if he wanted to meet up at BWW. There was a ton of cars in the parking lot, and a bunch of people just hanging out by the front door, so we thought we might be in for a wait. There was no wait however, as apparently a game had just finished and the majority of the people were leaving. The peppy hostess sat us at a high table in the bar area, where the music volume was pretty loud if I do say so myself. This made conversation a little annoying, but we dealt. Our waiter can right over, pulled up a chair, and said "What's up?" As I had never been to a BWWs before I can't say if this is standard procedure or not, but it was a little strange. He sat there for a minute making small talk, going over a few questions on the beer selection I had, and then took our order. I had eaten earlier, but my friend was hungry and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a side of mild BBQ wings (I cannot recall exactly what flavor he choose). After my discussion concerning the beer, I selected a brew that had lemonade flavors. This was a poor choice, as it was not very good at all. My friend offered a wing, so I graciously accepted. Wings are not normally my first pick when it comes to food lineups, they are messy and I have a thing about sticky fingers. . . But, I sucked it up and ate it, mess and all. It was pretty good, not a lot of fat and the sauce was delicious. I can see this being an alright place to chill for a game with a bunch of friends. The staff were all upbeat and quick, there was plenty of space for everyone between the two seating areas, and no matter where I looked - there was a TV.
(3)Missy W.
I have to say the beer selection is great! I will return to drink for beer for sure. The food, on the other hand, still makes me quesy to think about. I am consistantly dissapointed with my food experience which is why I only order beer when I go. I have honestly never had wings that are freshly prepared. A friend of mine is a waitress there and she said they are not cooked to order. They are cooked sometimes a couple hours ahead of time and sit under a heatlamp. The sauce is applied and then warmed up and sent out. Yuck. The wings are always wayyyyy over sauced.
(2)Joe V.
The traditional wings are very good, boneless wings are sub par and the rest of the menu is mediocre. Good service.
(4)Jayann A.
My Husband and I went here with a large group of friends (at least 11-12). We started in the bar, not knowing that one of our friends brought his two boys that are minors. The waitress had no problem switching us to a different section to accommodate this mix though. What I found kind of confusing was the menu and the specials. There were so many different flyers on the table that it was hard to track what special went with what day and what time. Other then that it was nice and clean and we had tons of fun with our friends.
(3)Amy A.
Service was great, we got the food to go so we didn't get waited on, but the manager made certain we were taken care of and just all around good experience...except that I forgot to get 2 cheese instead of a cheese and a mustard... Who puts mustard on pretzels?!?!? Gross...
(4)Tara S.
Ok, so I have chosen to write about the Salem Buffalo Wild Wings first since it my most recent experience with this HORRIBLE establishment. I have to tell you I heard so many people raving about this place, that of course I wanted to try it, but I just don't know what all the rave reviews are about? We went to this particular site for a birthday lunch with a group of friends. We did this on our lunch hour during the work week, and unless you have a two hour lunch, and I DON'T then you may want to choose another location. So when we arrived the entire group was not there; however, they sat us and within a few minutes the waitress came over and took drink orders for those of us that were there, sounds good right? Yeah, well it ended there. When the rest of the people got there the waitress did not come to get a drink order or food order until one of the people in the group went looking for a manager. Look I get it, if your restaurant is busy it may take a little longer to get your needs met, but it was NOT busy. When she finally came over to take the order she seemed a bit irritated, and the person who had spoken to the manager just let her know that we only have an hour so that is why we needed to get our order in, again the waitress seemed irritated but she still took the order and did her job. So we get the food and honestly it is nothing special and to me the prices were a bit high for what you get. I guess having a bunch of sauces to choose from is cool, along with all the T.V.'s to watch your favorite sport, but I left this Buffalo Wild Wings knowing this was the second bad experience, and I feel no need to ever give it another shot. If you like this place more power to you; however, this is no place I will ever choose to eat at again.
(1)Joe H.
First impression; dang the music is loud. Second impression, look at all of the huge TV's and framed with smaller ones. Third, maybe I am too old for this place (54). The service was at least 4 stars, but the food was ok, run of the mill. Like other reviewers, the menu was a little confusing but workable. I actually thought the 2 fish tacos which were OK, even if they were essentially two fish sticks (breaded appetizers) and normal taco fillings in a flour tortilla per taco. Maybe I was too hungry to care the fish was breaded. The beer was served in a tall glass and was good until I noted it was $5.50 for a cheap 'ol Coors light. Almost the same price as a pony key! I would try it again but actually try some expensive wing parts, although my wife thought not. $33.00 for lunch counting the $6 tip. Apparently BWW is a no CCW establishment?? We did not note this. However, we made it out alive, even though we were robbed on the price of cheap beer served in a tall glass. :)
(3)Ryan V.
Their food is great... If you ever get it. My wife and I walked in yesterday to grab a bite on their wing Tuesday special. We went into the bar because the restaurant was pretty busy. After about 10 minutes we were asked by a very nice waitress if we had been welcomed yet. We said no so she apologized and brought us water. She said she would let our server know that we were there. Then we waited. And waited. After 40 minutes of sitting there with our menus open on the table, we decided its not worth it. We walked out hungry and they lost our money. Applebee's was very accommodating. In short, this has been our experience the last 3 times there. The first time we excused it cuz they just opened, the second time our great waiter made up for it, but this time, that is completely unacceptable.
(1)Roger T.
Went late on a Tuesday for happy hour! Place was packed. Sat in the bar and our server was named Bree! Shes straight to the point, fun, friendly, and helpful. We got exactly what we ordered and enjoyed our evening there. It has tv's all over the place and the atmosphere was good! Kinda loud but get over it. All n all, fun and enjoyable.
(4)Matt F.
Food was good, nothing special though. Our service was subpar, not Impressed. I don't recommend this place. I would rather have food and drinks at a real sports bar.
(3)Carson K.
The food was okay and same with the service. Nothing was bad but nothing was also so great I would recommend it to everyone I know.
(3)Matt R.
This is probably a 3.5 star review. I would change my score with another go at the menu, and an in-restaurant experience, a opposed to take-out. After a day of watching football, my wife suggested picking up Buffalo Wild Wings for the nightcap (what a woman!). Upon picking it up I noticed the place was packed with Oregon fans. Seems like it would be a fun atmosphere for a big game. Definitely a football fan's dream. It appears that there are numerous drink, food, and wing specials throughout the season. The food was actually pretty good. I got a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, mixed with their Jalapeño sauce. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the sauce, but "sizzling", as is described on the menu, it isn't- at least for me. The size of the chicken breast was huge, and cooked the same throughout, which was nice. I did find the bun flavorful, yet pretty small. The toppings were pretty simplistic- lettuce leaf, tomatoes, and onions, but I guess if I just order a simple dish, I shouldn't complain. So I won't. The fries were decent but would obviously have been better if they were fresh and hot- not their fault. My wife's chicken tenders salad was described as pretty good. She said the chicken, with mild buffalo sauce, was really good but the lettuce was just 'meh. In all, it was a successful dinner. At $19, it was a little high for what we ordered, but decent I guess. I would be interested to see how things go in the restaurant next time.

Finally waited for this place to die down. First couple weeks of opening, this place was swamped! Just tried this place with a friend yesterday, went there a little after 11 pm. Customer service was good for the most part. No one tried to push us out when it was near closing time (midnight). Now, let's talk about food. The chicken wings were a bit overcooked. Hence, fried for a few minutes too long, and you can feel/taste that on the skin. Sauce (we had Parmesan Garlic), was a bit too salty, but I don't expect much. Most restaurant foods are overly salty. Atmosphere: WAYY too many TVs than necessary. One in every corner of your eyeball. At least 10 TVs in each room, and they only show 3 channels. Also, music was very loud. Had to sit adjacent to my friend to have a comfortable conversation without straining my throat. Probably won't be coming back here anytime soon, unless a friend REALLIE wants to come here.
(3)Seth K.
After waiting to be seated for about an hour, I was very disappointed in the services and the food. The food wasn't anything great. The server got the both our orders wrong. They have discounted the rib but didn't tell us or take them off the menu. I had bone in wings and boneless wing with fries. My wife got chicken tacos. The chickens tacos were more lettuces then anything, my wings were okay. I had didn't get ranch with my carrots so I asked the servers for some. She came back about 15 mins later, and then another server came over with some. Doesn't seem like they are communicating well. Overall the prices are pretty high for bar food. I won't be coming back!
(1)Angela S.
Typical mainstream sports bar. Sat at the bar, ok service. Our second bartender was actually really great--poured 2 "graveyards" for us. Yes. Graveyards...beer graveyards. Just for fun. She probably hated us but served us with a smile. Lots of tvs for watching the game(s). Didnt have food but I can imagine it would be normal chain restaurant stuff.
(3)Steve S.
Had the cheese burger slammers......... Uh ya............slammers. These were very gross mini cheese burgers. Not impressed, should have tried something else....maybe the wings?? Love the many screens to watch your favorite sports. With the screens and the friendly help, I kept it at 3 stars.
(3)Dr. J.
Still sucks, my addiction to BWW drew me back for another try... Don't go. Make the drive north to a better franchise, this one just can't get it together.
(1)Geoff P.
Ate here for the first time today due to getting off work much earlier than anticipated and having nothing to do. I have read prior reviews and was worried, but thought I would still give it a shot. I sat in the bar area so I could watch some golf and college football. I apparently got much more lucky than past reviewers. I had a wonderful not to mention gorgeous server that was very friendly and helpful. I ordered 10 wings with hot sauce, and the spicy garlic. The wings were the biggest I have seen offered anywhere. The server got my order exactly right, and was checking on me often if I needed more napkins or sauce, etc. I had a wonderful time and will be back again soon. I think others might have just had bad luck due to it being relatively new. Also looks like another manager was being trained today and he seemed really friendly and helpful so I recommend everyone that didn't like it to give it one more shot. If all else fails, they have beer and beautiful servers.

Kind of the only big thing in Salem for drinks and a game. Decent service, smaller demographics compared to Portland so the wait is much shorter. 21+? Bar access and no wait! Catch happy hour after 9! 3 dollar options! No wings in happy hour though, kind of a downer for a wings restaurant.

Every thing here sucks!!!! Except fot the wings.... the wings are great. I dont know how they can have such great wings when everything else about this place sucks. First off the service is super slow. it takes forever to be seated. Second everything here is spicy. i love spicy stuff but i can never get my girl to go because everything is hot here. And third the wings are expensive so I think when customers oreder 15 bucks in wing s, and 2 overpriced beers we should get more then 3 dinky half limp celery sticks. But I wil keep returning because I am addicted to the wings. the wings really are great. So three stars to the wings, but thats it.

Food ok. Great bar selection. Lots of tvs to watch sports. I don't go here for the food tho.

First off, It is a sports oriented restaurant, there are tv's wall to wall and it is noisy. Get past it if you want some of the best wings you've ever tasted. I went in with four other family members and between us we ordered 66 chicken wings in a variety of sauces and rubs. Every single one of them were good. My preference is the Chipotle BBQ rub! to die for! Went last week and got the sampler appetizer and they give you this pile of onion rings that were cooked to perfection. Not real greasy either. As a previous reviewer is trying to pick the servings apart, I don't think they are really looking at weather the bows or drums are counted equal. It doesn't really matter to me, they are equally good and the bows have ample meat on them. All in all this is a good place to eat. Lunch may be a bit quieter. If you come for dinner, come early or there will be a wait. The staff are all friendly and helpful. I left good tips both times!
