Buffalo Wild Wings

Eat here if you want to get sick! I love Buffalo Wild Wings and I went through major withdrawal when I moved out of Texas so you can imagine my excitement when they opened up at Hobby. I usually fly Southwest to LGA and this is right by the gate which made it extra convenient. Since margaritas are mediocre up north, I usually order wings and a marg. The marg I drink there and I usually only eat a couple wings and bring the rest home. 3 out of the last 4 times I ate there I’ve gotten sick. Without going into details, I spent a lot of time on the toilet seat. Lucky for me, it never hits me until I’m home. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat the whole portion in one sitting. The first 2 times I thought it was bc I ordered the hot flavor, but this time ordered medium with same results. They’re always boneless wings and I’ve had the same issue when I’ve eaten the leftovers the next day, which I know it’s crazy to eat it again. I kept thinking the first day was a fluke and I got sick from traveling. Plus, they taste SO good! I’m sad that I’ll have to throw out my leftovers today, but as I write this, my stomach is still hurting after last night and I’ve chugged pepto bismol and probiotic pills.
As for the service being slow. I always ask for my food in a to go container and pay right when they bring it. That’s a free travel tip that I’ve been using for years whenever I have a plane, train, or automobile to catch.
Go to any of the Pappas restaurants. Their food is on point!

Terrible service. The woman bartender on ¹¹⁄₂₄ from 12 – 1 working with Marc or Marco was awful. Never once asked how my meal was or how my beer. Biggest joke of a Buffalo Wild Wings I’ve ever been in. Fly them out to Las Vegas so they can come take notes. Garbage

Just like all other bw3 nice it has a million Tvs for nfl and service was actually really good for airport in packed restaurant

Hobby Airport BWWs. Had 1.25 hrs before boarding. Took order and drinks came in reasonable time. Ordered two small boneless and onion rings 20 min later server told us a big order was placed and would only be a few more min. After 15 more min he told us 2 – 3 min. Well 15 min later 50 min after arrival I asked for the manager. By the time he came we were up against our flight. Told him forget about it and did not even comp the drinks. STAY AWAY from this one. Will rethink all @BWWings if that is their approach to customer service.

Credit where credit is due. We had 45 minutes until our flight boarded and these guys came through in the clutch especially our server Nick. We sat down, ordered and 15 minutes later our fresh wings were delivered, Nick was prepared already with to-​go boxes for us and when asked delivered our check promptly and took payment immediately as he saw we were in a hurry.
While we were in a rush, we still had time to enjoy the games that were on their several TVs.
There is easy access to an airport restaurant just across the corridor but far enough away there were no smells present.
This is a nice addition of a better-​than-​expected airport restaurant.

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, where do I begin?
Houston Hobby (HOU) has limited dining options so during a recent and lengthy layover we decided to take a chance on Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW). We all (six frequent fliers) had previous positive experiences at BWW, the lemon pepper chicken is second only to my mother’s, so we had decent expectations for the visit. In every category, HOU BWW fell short.
The restaurant couldn’t accommodate our average size group of six, so we were seated half inside the restaurant and half OUTISDE. A waist-​high metal fence separated our dinner party and created an awkward dining experience. Understanding that this was airport dining we made due and did not complain.
Next came the inexcusably poor service and food.
Parched following a long flight cross country, we all ordered waters, typically something brought immediately after being seated. Instead, our waitress took fifteen valuable minutes to serve us our drinks. Despite being ready to order at this point, she left our table and returned ten minutes later, FINALLY ready to take our order.
Four out of the six of us ordered the exact same thing (a Mediterranean salad) which should have made the process quick and smooth. However what should have served as a convenience to the wait staff, somehow severely hindered their performance. Our other two dinner companions ordered traditional wings. Despite expecting prompt service at a not crowded airport restaurant (where time is at a premium), it was another THIRTY MINUTES after ordering when Charlotte (our waitress) finally served us our food. We were all starving and running out of time so we were eager to eat.
By first glance the food looked fine. However with closer inspection we realized all four Mediterranean salads were served WITHOUT chicken. Mind you, the description of the salad begins with ‘lemon pepper chicken upon a bed of greens’ so it is universally understood that the salad should come with chicken.
At this point I’m taking issues with two things 1) that my salad has no chicken… (I ordered and recommended everyone else order the salad specifically because of the lemon pepper chicken) and 2) that my ‘bed of greens’ with three sliced tomatoes took over thirty minutes to prepare. Charlotte originally agrees with us that the salad should have chicken. However when she returned she explained that she rang up the Mediterranean salad that did not include chicken (which I double checked the menu and this does not exist). Suddenly, she developed an attitude with us and stated that if we wanted the chicken (that we ordered!) it would be extra. Despite her sass and failure to admit wrongdoing, we politely obliged with the additional fee – as aforementioned, we came for the lemon pepper chicken. She told us the chicken would be ready shortly.
We waited an additional twenty minutes. The chicken never came. Our flight was minutes from boarding so when Charlotte returned and told us our chicken would be out soon, we told her it was too late and instead we requested the checks. Charlotte rolled her eyes and rudely asked, «So you don’t want the chicken?» Close to our wits end, we explained that it was too little and too late. Naturally, it took another ten minutes to receive our checks. And they still charged us for the chicken. After paying, we ran to our gate with grumbling empty stomachs, nearly missing our flight.
That is the last time I pay $ 12 for a plate of iceberg lettuce. Next time, I know I’ll be better off ordering a square burger from Wendy’s.
Charlotte and HOU BWW you should be ashamed.
–The Frequent Fliers

This would be a better place to catch a meal between flights if the wait staff had any desire to be here and actually support the customer.

Like all BWWs, this one sucks. Unlike others, you can’t leave after Two Drinks and some potato wedges without a $ 50 tab. Yes they were doubles (anemic), but still-​4 drinks and potato wedges for $ 50. Plus young and pleasant waiter, who screwed up the order TWICE, was nice enough to still charge me an extra $ 1.20 for sour cream. How you can make «Fresh» potato wedges taste like they’ve been in the fridge for three days and then reheated is a mystery… Well not really. FTP. And I still tipped your incompetent self, pleasant waiter guy. SERIOUSLY HOW DO THESE GUYS AVERAGE 3 STARS?!?

It’s 7:23a and I’ve been sitting at my table for 10 mins. No server has taken a drink order or even acknowledged my presence.
While sitting I saw another table get seated, then ignored. They had less patience than me and already walked off.
Unreal. Server for a second time cleaned and set the table next to me. My menu is laid out flat on the table so clearly I haven’t ordered. Yes, I could call a server, but I think when you’re at an airport restaurant during breakfast, you’d think they’d understand prompts service.
I’ve never had their breakfast. Unfortunately won’t be able to review it today. Its now 7:27a and still no service.
I’m actually starting to wonder if I’m stuck in some kind of time/​space vortex where I can see everyone but they can’t see me. Be aware of this when you visit.
Vortex must’ve closed. Finally acknowledged at 7:30a. Too bad I board in 10 mins.

You know what’s worse than having a really delayed flight? Having a really delayed flight at 9:00 p.m., when the airport restaurants close at 10 p.m. I know what you’re thinking, wait a minute, you still have an hour to get something to eat. And, ya know, you’re right, but not, apparently, at the BWW in Hobby airport. They turned us away at 9:20 p.m. So, Pappasito’s got my money, instead.

We had a lot of time to kill before a flight yesterday and decided on BWW for a couple of drinks, and some food.
We probably tied up a table for 2 hours just hanging out, drinking and enjoying our conversation.
Anthony, our waiter, was cool and didn’t rush us in the slightest, and he seemed to be working hard for us.
I had a long island ice tea, and it was absolutely worth $ 9. It was delicious, and exactly what I needed after a long walk across an airport, and a little TSA action.
My cousin had two strawberry margaritas and despite Anthony’s warning that they might be a little watery due to a machine issue, they seemed to be ok.
I had the snack size hot garlic and I asked for boneless. When they came out they were bone-​in — but it was quickly rectified.
My cousin also had boneless, but she asked for the sauce on the side.
So far so good — but the chicken itself with it’s extremely thick breading was fried extra-​crispy. Our chicken pieces were teeth-​crackingly hard. The chicken was good in spite of that — but it made for a tough meal.

We were waiting with a large work group outside the restaurant and the manager offered to serve us at our gate and take our orders from our gate!!! So awesome and considerate since we were waiting for some time! Thanks for thinking about us! We will definitely come back to Hobby BWW on our next trip!

The expiation that the food would be cooked must have been overwhelming. Raw chicken 90 min before a flight = no fun.
I can handle a bad meal but being poisoned is another low altogether.
Being asked to pay for any of that «meal» was insulting and we found new low.
I pray I got the cleanest raw chicken possible.

I’m usually a carnivore when it comes to BWW, but after three days of rich foods and protein, I opted for the Asian Zing salad. Nice server, but took 15 – 20 minutes for the food to be delivered., so this may not be your best choice if you are pressed for time.
The salad nicely filled my new found herbivore cravings. Decent size salad with very tender grilled chicken breast meat. The dressing had a nice balance between heat and sweetness. I ordered a 2^nd chicken breast for only $ 3 more. They fave a pretty decent size menu. Their burger with their sweet BBQ sauce is pretty good too.

I have learned to lower my expectations from any restauraunt in an airport. They have a captive audience and they’re going to be busy where or not their food is any goo. My fish tacos were suprisingly better than I expected. I had them dressed in their mild wing sauce and they were a perfect quick bite before I caught my flight out of Houston.

To start, my expectations for an airport meal are absurdly low. I am not expecting rare and exotic food combinations or fine dining level service. That said, Buffalo Wild Wings was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had.
I ordered a plain burger and a drink. This took over 10 minutes to get a drink, and then another 20 minutes for me to get my food! I didn’t even get a refill on the drink. This was pretty much the norm: I saw a guy wait even longer than me for his meal. So, if you’re in a rush, don’t even bother.
Then, the food. I was basically starving when I got there and I knew I had limited time to eat before my plane. The fries were decent, but the burger was so gross and WET. Not in a greasy burger way but in a, did they forget about my burger while cooking? kind of way.
Overall, this would be a tough sell to go back, when there are many better, cheaper, easier restaurants in a small area.

The worst Bloody Mary on the planet, sour and flavorless. Slammers decent but overcooked. Shoulda just stuck with the wings!

A perfectly acceptable airport meal. Good beer, good service, reasonably acceptable food. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich which only had sauce on one side of the chicken and the sauce wasn’t nearly as hot as I would have expected or wanted. But it’s still just an airport restaurant so I accept that expectations are rarely met.

This was my second visit. I have no complaints from my first visit. My server was excellent. I was able to get a seat immediately. Within moments, I was approached by a sweet & smiley server. My beverage & food came out quickly. She forgot to order my Caesar salad and was apologetic for not having added that. After which, the Caesar salad came out quickly. She checked on me a few times, and even suggested dessert upon my request for the check. No complaints here. I’d definitely go again.

Ok I completely disagree with the comment below about bad service – their service is excessively awesome, and it was crazy crazy cheap for an airport…
I don’t actually like wings much, so it wasn’t spectacular, but I’m trying to be objective. I was trying to restrict my carb intake so a breakfast entirely composed of «salt & vinegar» chicken wings seemed like my best bet.
Well, after completing my awkward meal, fumbling around with little bones and fighting fruit flies (thinking «what about this is sweet to fruit flies??»), I log into my calorie-​counter to input my meal, only to discover the worst possible news:
My meal was a MASSIVE amount of calories, and on top of that, it was covered in sugar! What part of «salt & vinegar» means 20g of carbs? I give up… Haha jk.
