Buffalo Wild Wings

While it’s like most other B-​dubs in look and feel, you can tell your in a smaller town. Joplin has some great stuff but this b-​dubs is behind the times. They have outdated playmaker devices that I haven’t seen at my other b-​dubs for over 1 year. Service is not exceptional. I ordered a beer by name from the menu, server said I don’t think we have that one. Presented a handwritten list from the server, I see the same beer on the list of beers they have tonight. I say how about, insert generic name of the beer. No problem, small or large? Really? It’s touted as the beer that pairs best with the wings, you don’t know it by both names. I asked about specials, most dubs have moved to a Monday night special. Not here Tuesday Thursday only. I could go on. For a chain, it’s not what I expect from a B-​dubs. I travel for work and eat at B-​dubs 1 – 2 times per week, so I know my B-​dubs!

Wings are small skinny and without out the sauce would be tasteless. Service very slow and food not worth the wait. Never go back for me. Hungry at that end of town Rib Crib across street better deal.

It was not full but still took over half an hour for our lunch to get there. Our waitress was a Loop-​dee don’t for sure. She never once came to our table beside dropping off the plates (literally) & when asked if we wanted two tickets or one we asked for two and she still put it on one. Don’t think I’ll be back.

I went Saturday night for a friends birthday party, he turned 40. Ordered a fried chicken salad, there were 15 in our group plus me. Four were children. The last guy to arrive, ordered his food and in less than 15 it had arrive. The other 14, got their food and were done with it before I got my salad! When they came and ask what I had ordered, under my name is how they took the order. I waited another 10 minutes, I told them to cancel it, after sitting down my salad came another 2 minutes later!!! They never discounted the meal and the 18% was included. I usually tip more than that, but not tonight! Will not go back to the one in Joplin, Missouri !!!

First time visit. Awesome food, great service. Seemed a bit expensive, but may be worth the good food.

Loved the service! Great food and did I mention the service?! The Joplin Missouri location has been the best in my experience. Thanks for great food and a pleasant atmosphere!

A typical BWW but for being one of two tables in the whole place, the service was mighty slow.
I also have to say they really need to step it up and go no-​smoking! The place has a bad smoke smell.

The food is OK but typical delivery truck food you find at most chains. There are much better options for hot wings in town.
As far as sports bar environment, it’s pretty good… if you don’t mind cigarette smoke. The cigarette smoke is really awful and sitting in the non-​smoking section is just as bad.
If I were rating food only it would be a 3, but the cigarette smoke is so bad I can’t give it any more than 2 stars.

For me BWW is more about location than anything… Close to home. However there are some bartenders I’ve known for a while who do a good job. Not the best prices for what you get but the food is pretty good and the menu changes frequently. Service is definitely a lot better at the bar top than on the server floor.

I normally always have the Blazin sauce, but I got some of their Caribbean Jerk sauce for Christmas and I love it. I’m perfecting it today at home for the Super Bowl!
You would think the Caribbean Jerk is not hot enough for a true HOT Wing person but it does have a good kick to it.
I personally really like this place. It always scratches that hot wing itch!

Good wings, ate wild. It was so hot I had to rub blue cheese on my lips then soak them in my ice water. But… good.

its a sports bar! it has more TVs than it does paint on the wall. a good selection of tap beer and a large selection of bottles. The food is great, and the staff are great. it can get ridiculously busy on the weekends, but there is Plenty of seating in and outside. if your expecting something special, go somewhere a little more up scale. again, this is a sports bar, and they do it well.

I am basing my review off of a comparison of the Buffalo Wild Wings in Milwaukee, WI to this Buffalo Wild Wings. I stopped at this location after a 10 hour drive on a road trip from Milwaukee, WI to San Antonio, TX.
Not sure why so many bad reviews. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed there were some new employees still learning. Everyone was very friendly.
As a chain restaurant the wings are pretty good. The wings at this location are noticeably bigger than the ones we get her in Milwaukee, WI. So, I was a fan of that!
As a place to grab some wings to go, or a place to catch a game and eat some wings, Buffalo Wild Wings fits the bill.
I may also be biased since I got 10% off of my bill, on 50 cent wing night because I was staying in the Day Inn up the street.

We eat here a lot, and the only thing that stays the same is the food is very good, but you never know what kind of service you will get. One trip you may have great service, and the next may be horrible! It’s been like that at this location since they opened.

I suppose this is a «man place» and I just don’t get the appeal. But I HATE the atmosphere of Buffalo Wild Wings. Not to make light of autism but this place makes me feel like I have it. You see those little kids on TV with autism and they’re freaking out from the over-​stimulation of normal everyday life? That’s how I feel in this place with the loud music, trivia, sports, noisy crowd, servers, lights, etc. It’s like seeing the future and it’s not good. eek! But all that aside, I agree with the reviewer who called Buffalo Wild Wings food «freezer quality». That summation was dead on! Next time I’ll just stick some Tyson chicken and fries in the oven and turn on the TV, stereo, and a video game all at once and save $ 30.

Look, Bdubs is what it is. If you have a group of guys who want to watch football or a UFC event for free, then you go here. And about halfway through whatever game or fight card you are watching, you’ll finally get your food. Service is amazingly slow. Never attempt to eat here for lunch unless you have an hour and a half to kill.
If you want to eat hot wings because you actually like hot wings– go to Hackett’s.

That’s right.
One fucking star.
I don’t care if I have to burn my college ID for saying it, but this place sucks. Unabashedly and hatefully sucks.
The service is generally inattentive, infrequent, forgetful, and brusque. 9They do manage to handle groups well though. I’ll give them credit on that front.)
The food is overpriced. Yeah, they have good wing sauce, particularly the Asian Zing and Mango Habenero, but the preparation of the food isn’t good and neither is the quality of ingredients. If you want wings buy some sauce and make them at home or go to Hackett’s and have something amazing and cheaper.
«But, Jessica!» I hear you cry. «I don’t go to a restaurant/sport’s bar near campus for the food! I go for the booze!»
That would be fine, nameless heckler, if they managed to not fuck that up as well. I ordered a mojito the first time I went after turning 21. Yes, it is a mixed drink that is fairly involved, what with the muddling and all, so it can be hit or miss. But it was on their big list o’ mixed drink specials (monstrosities) with a pretty little picture beside it. Also, I ordered it about 3 in the afternoon during a late lunch when they were dead. It had the consistency of simple syrup, no carbonation or flavor of club soda, not a speck of mint leaf (but the flavor of toothpaste) and an indiscernible amount of rum.
Another visit when I was with my mom, another late lunch during a dead period, involved a mishap with my first ever encounter with a Long Island Iced Tea. My mom, not known for being real picky on alcohol, actually recoiled and shuddered when she tasted it and promised to get me a good one «some place decent.» That involved a place that doesn’t use all coke and a substandard mix.
Actually, every mixed drink I’ve ordered there has been heinous except for a rum and coke I’ve ordered three of their specialty drinks (though never shots) and honestly in two of them I couldn’t taste or feel any alcohol and never had the slightest feeling of a buzz. Considering they start at about $ 7.50 this trend is intolerable.
«But, Jessica!» You cry once more. «You are supposed to drink beer! You are in COLLEGE!»
Well, I do. And that is unimpressive as well. Ordering a Woodchuck got me a blank look, even after I pointed to the listing of it on the menu. Apparently they don’t carry all of the bottle selections they advertise. Not out, they just don’t carry it. No big. Asking them to mix something as complicated as a Snakebite probably would have resulted in me crying in the corner any way.
So I ended up with a bottle of Corona, a speckled lime wedge, and a ten minute wait on a mug. Awesome.
In review: bad, over priced booze.
Freezer quality food at about a 200% mark up.
Unoriginal atmosphere.
I think this is the only place in Joplin that if I heard friends were going out to I would just have to ditch them for the evening. B-​Dubs can suck my tit.

This is where boys go to become men. Bdubs oozes the place for guys and the attractive waitresses reinforce this point. Even though it’s the ideal place for guys, this place is a gathering point for typical college students. After 9 pm on most days, the place is packed with nothing but college students enjoying the college life or watching the year round sports featured on the MANY tvs. The place is rather small being divided between a bar and a regular sit down area. It is small, yet not spacious which could be a problem for a large group. Even though bdubs catters to the sports lovers and college crowd, it is surprisingly well for families. These are the kind of places that, a socialite like myself likes!
The only bad thing is that it is fairly expensive if you are not careful… which might be generally odd. I ordered a Dos Equis when I turned 21, since it was an import, and it was marked around $ 5. Expensive here while at other places it would be much cheaper. But I surrrender, because you are paying primarily for the atmosphere.
