Buffalo Wild Wings

This is just another american chain sports-​bar, and you get exactly that. Nothing special, but the standard is well-​maintained. Happy hour is good, but other than that, I’d not really want to go here. I have been there a couple of times for happy hour as well as dinner. It’s generally pretty empty other than during HH or sporting events, when the atmosphere totally changes.
The place is well done and brightly decorated. The have a big bar at the center, and seating around it. It is a very big place, considering it’s downtown. They also have many TVs spread around, so it’s a good place to watch the Seahawks or Sounders games.
The service is friendly, but really slow at times even when it’s not fully occupied. The food is the regular fare — wings, burgers, some fried appetizers. I really like their variety of sauces, and try a new one every time I go. Last time I tried their hottest one with ghost peppers, which was too hot, but excellent and exactly what I’d expected. That one is not to be taken lightly.
What I didn’t like is that the servers generally assume you want the biggest size unless you specify it. The last time I was here, I asked for a bud, and he was all set to get me a 20oz, until he repeated the order and said a tall bud, where I asked what tall meant, and then asked for a smaller size. I’d expect them to at least ask or clarify.
In short, it’s a good place if you crave wings, or want a spot during seahawks games. Otherwise, I wouldn’t choose to go here, specially for dinner.

I go to Buffalo Wild Wings with my friends every Sunday. With a vast amount of HD televisions and tempting cuisines, it is a great place to enjoy football games and tasty foods with friends.
I’m not a big fan of chicken wings, but I strongly recommend their wings. They offer boneless and traditional (with bone) wings with various sauces. My favorite sauces are Honey BBQ and Parmesan Garlic.
If you don’t eat spicy food, Honey BBQ will be a fantastic choice for you. It tastes sweet, but not too sugary.
Parmesan Garlic-​the name says it all. It is made by a ton of rich and aromatic Parmesan Cheese and some savory garlic. It is mixed perfectly!
The wings will not disappoint you for sure. The meat is extremely juicy and mouth-​watering. Once you try it, you are going to love it and never forget its unbelievable taste.
Besides the food, if you are a Seahawks fan, this place is your best choice to celebrate some victories with other «12s» ! People would get together and cheer for our Seahawks here. The delicious wings and exciting football games make my weekends wonderful at Buffalo Wild Wings.

These guys are really good and what they do — making delicious wings. We like coming to this place once every quarter. This time around we tried the hottest sauce of all — The Reformulated Blazin. Believe me, it is really really hot. Make sure you have plenty of Water and Ranch handy.
Apart from the Reformulated Blazin, Thai Curry is our favorite.
This is a really fun place when you come with friends. Doesn’t have too many Vegetarian options so might not suit Vegetarians.

The food is ok. But the Seahawks game day atmosphere is GREAT! Our server Swizz was awesome and didn’t get tired of us (or at least didn’t show it) when we stayed the entire game and kept our drinks topped off. Great place to watch the game. Five stars for service even when the place is packed.

Standard Buffalo Wild Wings location with a great happy hour and reverse happy hour. Enjoy nachos and wings of any sauce. There are plenty of tvs and staff to make your evening enjoyable.

This place looks very corporate fast food mega chain no matter which way you look at it.
When I want chicken wings or fried chicken, Im not sure any of the foodie hype spots do it better.
I wish it was a little less sports barish (imagine Chuck-​E-​Cheese or a Showbiz pizza gone full man-​cave)
Eat wings, drinks drinks and then get out.
Avoid on game days!
Their sauce selection is what makes this best wings /​fried chicken place for me. Must be 30 – 40 flavors and dry batter rubs.

If you’re looking for a place to watch a game with ample seating and a bar, then this place will do in a pinch. But if you want good food, consistent service, and a pleasant atmosphere I suggest you look elsewhere. I could say more but I’ve decided to spend as much time on my review as Buffalo Wild Wings spends on their customers. Or trying to deliver something good to eat.

The wings are decent.
Our server, JJ, was A-​mazing!
It’s nice that you can usually always get a table here, unlike a lot of sports bars in Seattle.

Been here a few times and one thing is consistent… The terrible service.
This most recent visit we asked for a table for two and the hostess still wearing her jacket and not the least bit welcoming or friendly, tells us it would be 10 – 15 mins. There were plenty of servers and tables available but whatever we wait the 15mins. Get seated and wait for 10 more minutes before a server comes and asks if we have been helped. Obviously not since we only have menus and are in your section looking around for someone to take our order. Finally order and get our food (wings and fries) in another 10 mins… Fries were cold but we were starving at this point so didn’t bother to complain. The wings were decent sized and the flavors were pretty good, but we had to ask for nearly everything… napkins, plates, celery and carrots. We notice one younger girl working the front seating people as well as bussing tables was busting her ass while other staff were chatting, or jumping around (no joke) like they were there to just goof off. Finally our server comes to «check on us» when we had one wing left; uh thanks for nothing… We should have just given a cash tip to the aforementioned girl.
Anyway, somehow this terrible experience was better than last time when we waited even longer and received the wrong order — twice. Definitely not coming back here again. Management has to clean house, do a better job of hiring and training, and actually manage their staff.

Lunch deals 12 — 2 weekdays are the time to go. We’ve been to this location 3 times, once lunch, once happy hour, once take-​out.
Service was great in the bar area seating (Danielle) at both lunch and happy hour. Friday afternoon lunch shift took a VERY long time for the food to come out, but our server kept us informed of the progress. Not great, but hey, sometimes stuff happens and it’s all about how you handle your customers when it does. I did see the manager talking with several other tables that were in more of a rush than us and I assume comping some of their food as there were smiles all around.
We stuck with wings and salads for both dine-​in visits and paid significantly different prices for the same thing. It pays to know when to go.
Lunch small traditional wings plus side salad: $ 10
Happy hour small traditional wings plus side salad: $ 19

Buffalo Wild Wings would be the place to go, but their service is constantly terrible. I ordered my food for takeout and the cashier said it would be ready in 10 – 15 minutes. I sat down while waiting for my food and watching her do her job. For a moment she was bombarded with customers trying to order, pay, receiving phone calls, and making sure customers orders is right. She was also the only one helping these handful of customers while not a single coworker helped her out. Anyways the people who ordered after me ended up getting their food first even though I got their ahead of time than them. I ended up waiting half an hour for my food and pretty unsatisfied being the last one waiting when I ordered first.
PS: Their service is worst if you actually dine in. I went to BWW at South Center on my birthday with family members and I ended up spending 3+hours waiting to order, get drinks, getting food, and paying. None of the 3+ hours included any eating. You’ll have definitely have a fun time wasting time eating here.

So, the thing with Buffalo Wild Wings is that they seem to be consistent at many of their locations.
With that being said, my hubby and I went recently to catch the Seahawks game. I always enjoy being around sports fans (as long as they are rooting for the same team as me haha). Kinda our bad getting there after the game started, so we were told that either we were going to be seated immediately or if no one left, not get seated for a while. Anyways, lots of TVs everywhere and the Seahawks game was on at least all the big screen TVs, and the had the audio from the broadcast blasted throughout the restaurant.
Luckily we scored a table, but had to share it with 4 other people since it was one of their large tables that they can’t split. So we made new friends.
Only issue I had was the wait for food… Literally for the most of the 2^nd quarter of the game we were waitingggggg. Waiting to order. Waiting for appetizers. Waiting for food. Took all of 2^nd quarter to get anything.
Most of the people at my table left early which was nice cuz we got a huge table to ourselves. Our waiter was really nice and was more attentive to us as more people stared leaving.
Anyways — great place to watch games, but be sure to get there early for a table and be prepared to wait for your food.

Went here for dinner last night as a group of 4 and being Tuesday they had 75c traditional wings which is awesome.
Good
– Thai Curry — Probably the best of the lot. Very flavorful, not too spicy and generously coated. The sauce is pretty oily/​greasy though.
– Mango Habanero — One of my favorites, has a bit of a kick to it but the combination of mango and habanero is divine. Must try.
– Asian Zing — Sweet, sticky, salty with a hint of spice. Loved the sauce but unfortunately all these wings were really small and dry.
Average
– Caribbean Jerk — I was actually expecting these to taste like jerk chicken but unfortunately they were not even close. Not too bad but definitely not jerk.
– Jammin’ Jalapeño — Pretty average, generic tasting. Nothing to write home about. I would skip these.
Bad
– Hot BBQ — These were some weird mix of BBQ sauce and Buffalo that just didn’t go well together. I wish they had stuck to a more traditional spicy BBQ sauce. Very disappointed.
– Parmesan Garlic — All you could taste was salt and grease. There was no flavor of garlic or parmesan coming through. Definitely won’t recommend these again.
Sides
– The potato wedges were really good. I do however find it almost criminal that a small «basket» of wedges should cost more than 8 wings.
– The coleslaw was horrible. It was poorly under-​dressed and under-​seasoned slaw and all you could taste was raw cabbage. Bad Idea.
– I find it hard to believe that they charge you for those tiny cups of Ranch and Blue Cheese. We got them because our server asked us if we would like them and we said «Why Not» but barely even touched them. It’s annoying to see a chicken wings restaurant charge for the most clichéd dipping sauces.
Overall I think the food is pretty good and reasonable if you order the right things. There are some misses on the menu but enough options to steer clear of them and still have a fun meal. The wings can be inconsistent with some large succulent wings and some small, puny, dry wings mixed in. The servers are extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is like that of any casual sports bar. Nothing fancy or gourmet but I would probably go back here again on a Tuesday for the wings.

First time at this downtown Seattle location and, while it has all the typical trappings of the BWW chain, I wasn’t real impressed by anything about the place. If you are a sports fan, this is definitely a good option for watching whatever game you might be interested in. There are so many TV’s hanging from every square inch of wall space, there’s no way you could ever have a bad view and the staff is always more than willing to change a channel to get your favorite team in front of you.
The service here was good although nothing real noteworthy. The place was clean although it just feels really cluttered as they take advantage of all the space by filling it with tables, chairs, TV’s, bar stools, and all kinds of random games, things, and stuff. Up to this point, I’d be looking at a four star review as the restaurant/​bar overall has a good vibe and feel with a generally solid presentation.
However. The food I had was a couple small steps below mediocre and, given the prices they charge, I was expecting much more than I received. The chicken tenders and the shrimp that came in my order were about as basic as you could possibly get when it comes to breaded and deep fried foods. Sure, it’s fried food but come on, this is the same quality of product you would find at Dairy Queen or some other fast food joint that only cares about volume over quality. In the future, I will be sticking with their wings which, of course, are their signature items.

From the time I was seated, I was treated well by the staff. Our server took great care of us, suggested a sauce that turned out to be amazing (honey bbq, FYI), and made sure my soda glass was always full.
We went on Wing Tuesday, when traditional wings are $ 0.65/each, with a minimum of 4 per sauce. I don’t know why I even bothered ordering a salad, since those wings had my full attention. I had 4 Parmesan garlic and 4 honey bbq, and they were all delicious.
Definitely going back.

What’s not to love? B-​dubs is always our Girls Night go-​to. From the sweet BBQ to the Parmesan Garlic, you can’t go wrong with sauce. If you can’t decide, ask for samplers, they bring them out with some fries so you can taste one or all.
Tuesday is Traditional Wing Night
Thursday is Boneless Wing Night
I recommend their Huckleberry Lemonade, it’s a great sweet compliment to the tangy sauces.

There aren’t many chains that I’ll visit, for a number of reasons. But BWW does things well. Really well. Every BWW location I’ve been to has been tidy, quick service, and consistent.
Might be worth noting that I always sit at the bar when I come to BWW.
My favorite sauce happens to come from BWW, which is their Mango Habanero sauce that they slather onto the wings (boneless for me!). It is SPICY as all get-​out, just the way I like it.
Come here expecting good food (not great), lots of stimulation (so many screens and projectors for the sports fans!), and very fair prices!

Eh, this is not the best BWW that I’ve been to. Maybe I caught it on a bad day, but I’ve had far better experiences at B-​Dubs.
The location is great, it’s accessible and stands out so you can’t miss it. Also, the happy hour deals seemed pretty good. I believe it was something like $ 3 for certain apps and well cocktails/​beers. Unfortunately, that’s all the good.
The service was horrible. We were sat around 4ish, so it wasn’t overly crowded by any means. We wanted to sit at a hightop near the bar and that was like pulling teeth. There was ONE other group sitting in that area and the host just did not want to seat us there. After pleading with her, she finally sat us. However, she sat us without any menus.
Once our waitress came, again maybe it was just a bad night, but she had an attitude from the start. When I asked for a water with my drink, she snapped at me like I was asking for a special type of water. I couldn’t believe it. We also told her that we didn’t have menu’s and she looked at us like we were supposed to bring them ourself. Once we finally had menu’s, it took her a solid 20 minutes to come back to take our orders. Remember, the place was virtually empty.
Once we got our food, they forgot two side items (group of 3 of us) and the food had obviously been sitting waiting to be picked up because it wasn’t even close to hot. We weren’t going to take the chance of sending it back, so we just ate the food. We also sat there for 10 minutes without silverware or napkins. Ever eat wings without napkins? Yeah, it’s not pretty. I wouldn’t have cared about the silverware and napkins thing, however our waitress apparently doubled as a ghost so it made the situation far worse.
Finally, it was time for the bill. We were double charged for the two items they forgot, and then magically 3 additional drinks showed up on the bill. What? How does that happen? We only had 2 drinks each, so I have no clue how that could happen unless they’re trying to scam us. Anyways, we paid the bill and got the hell out.
I live in Chicago, but travel a lot for work and obviously I will not be back to this BWW. A trip to a sports bar shouldn’t be this difficult. We walked out of there wondering what the hell just happened. Take my advice and go somewhere else. Literally, anywhere else.

This place has great wings! I love coming here during games and watch the game on large screens while eating some wings.
PROS: Happy Hours! $ 3 drinks and appetizers. if you come on Thursdays you can get 60 cent boneless wings as well. Come for this deal!
CONS: The wings can get too saucy… too overpowering. The waitress was also extremely slow today and then told us that Happy Hour was over even though it was less than five minutes over and it was her fault for not serving us earlier.

We’ve been here a few times now and have had great experiences each time. From happy hour drinks and appetizers at the bar to UFC nights or NFL game days. The staff is really on top of their game and very friendly. I love that you can play Trivia or Poker — perfect for days when you’re not super into the sports game or commercial breaks. The only gripe I have is the cost. Our bills are usually pretty high on non-​happy hour or Tuesday Wings nights.
I think when you join the Buffalo Circle (mailing list) they send you a $ 5 off your next visit coupon. Mine expired before I was able to use it so I forget how much the discount was.
