Since 1982, Buffalo Wild Wings® (or B-Dubs® as our friends call us) has been the ultimate place to watch the game, have a cold beer and eat some great food. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you can always feel comfortable pulling some tables together with your friends and staying as long as you want.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The selection of beers on their beer list was extensive, and the servers were extremely knowledgeable. My favorite items were the fish, the ceviche, and the homemade bread.

I went on a Tuesday for the BOGO - that’s really the only day worth going because the wings are really small. I do not recommend the Asian Zing sauce. The service was great! It was loud but it’s also a sports bar, so I didn’t mind that. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars.

    We had two large party dinner tables on a busy Friday night. After a slow start getting settled in we found the service quick and responsive. Excellent wide variety menu and every dish was delivered hot and tasty. Many thanks to the staff for making it a great dining experience for our out of town guests.

    What a great experience my friend and I had here. We are HUGE foodies and really appreciate restaurants that pack their food with flavor. That’s what we immediately noticed while dining here is that flavor is a huge focus! Our favorite appetizer was the chicken skewer (would’ve loved crispier skin on it but was still delish!) and we LOVEDDD the entrees. Braised short rib was super tender and extremely flavorful with the curry surrounding it with its subtle sweetness. The lamb was equally tender with a flavor profile that reminded me of Nigerian pepper soup! SO good! And the cocktails were so creatively curated. Was also able to get. Last minute reservation for Sura downstairs! Will absolutely return to both! Thank you for a great experience.
