The noise in Buffalo Wild Wings is sometimes a lot but the TV volumes were not super high and we were able to talk and enjoy our time together! The food was great and overall a really good experience. Thank you BDubs for making this a great outing for our family!More infoBuffalo Wild Wings - South Portland$$$$• American• South Portland•4
