Buffalo Wild Wings

Came for lunch. Food was average. Iced Tea was crap. Expensive is an understatement. The obnoxious singing waitress needs to be fired. The place smells bad and I’d definitely NOT recommend. Avoid the hassle, headache and pain. Including the financial surprise as it’s a scam.

*BEWARE*
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I ordered takeout. I ordered fried pickles with extra Chipotle ranch. I also wanted potato wedges, 5 boneless wings honey barbecue and 5 boneless parm garlic. I also ordered a sweet tea when I arrived. The cashier asked me twice if my tea was sweetened or unsweetened and after saying sweetened, he hands me my tea.
The manager was very nice and asked if I wanted to check my wings before leaving. I said no because they were crazy busy and I didn’t want to be a burden. She also read back my order, so I trusted her and trusted my order was correct.
When I arrived at my apartment, I realized my tea was unsweetened. Whatever, I thought and I added my own sugar. I also realized I had 5 traditional garlic parm wings instead on boneless. This made me sad and disappointed I did not accept the offer of looking at my food before leaving. Besides that everything was great. Nothing tasted out of the ordinary.
About 4 hours later, I’m woken up by horrible stomach pains. I mean, worse than menstrual cramps, gas pains, worse than someone stabbing my uterus and lower stomach over and over with a dull knife pain. I try to go back to sleep, but suddenly my stomach is so upset. I lay still, hoping it’ll pass. Suddenly, I’m running to the bathroom with painful diarrhea, worsening cramps, and I’m vomiting at the same time. This cycle continued for the next 38 hours. I had to call off work. The DAY of, because I was still vomiting and could not leave the bathroom. They owe me 13 hours at $ 12 an hour because that’s the shift I missed out on. I’ll never feel the same way about this restaurant or wings ever again. I’ve never had food poisoning before, but after researching the symptoms and knowing the wings were the only thing I had eaten in over 24 hours, I know this location gave me food poisoning. It was a horrible experience that still sickens me to think about. I did not feel 100 percent okay, normal, healthy for 3 full days.
*BEWARE*

Ok, I know it’s a restaurant chain, but I love their boneless wings. Thursday is boneless wing night, .60 a wing. For being a chain they make some banging boneless wings. My favorite sauce is Asian Zing and Honey BBQ, extra wet.
They also have real yummy cheesecake bites that are deep fried. Mhmmmmmm
Service at this location seems like it has improved greatly. Our waitress tonight was on point and real friendly. I drink a lot of water and quickly. Most of the time I am always waiting for refills, not tonight!
Hopefully next time I come here, the service is still rocking like tonight.
They always seat me next to the tvs playing a hockey game, when I request it. They never complain about it, which is nice.
Yay boneless wing :)

Came here tonight for dinner with family after driving around from Westlake and Lakewood. By the time we (kind of) made an agreement on where to eat (I protested going here on account of crappy meals I’ve had elsewhere… the wings at a different location were dry, hard, crunchy, and to me, inedible). I caved because I was the one driving around and I was friggin hungry and sick of hearing everyone complain about where they wanted to go.
Initially our food took pretty long to come out. I can’t say definitively how long, because I wasn’t keeping track and it wouldn’t be factual; however, the food was taking quite some time.
My mom and sister got a burger to split which looked big, and pretty substantial. They had no complaints.
My dad and I split a buffalo chicken sandwich (thinking it would be a reasonably decent size) and asked that it be cut in half. We also split the loaded nachos as an appetizer. I hate to sound like a diva, but I have not been this disappointed and unsatisfied with a meal in a very, very long time. My complaints about the sandwich are as follows:
–The peice of meat was approximately 3.5 or 4 ounces (I work at a restaurant that serves 4 ounces of meat, so I feel I can give an accurate representation of its actual size) Which isn’t horrible, but for a $ 9 sandwich, I was expecting a reflection of the portion of meat in relation to the price. Not a huge deal, but okay.
–When they cut the sandwich in half for us, by dad got all of the chicken party, whereas my half got a tiny little bite (not even the size of a chicken wing. I am not exaggerating) due in part to the chicken breast being so small and slightly misshapen that it didn’t fill the inside of the sandwich, and when it was cut it was cut without thought.
–There was very, very little buffalo sauce on the bun. Kinda like when McDonald’s throws a few drops of ketchup on your burger to one side… who eats anything like that?! Asked for more, our server gladly got us some.
–The chicken. Oh the chicken. I’m kinda glad I didn’t get any chicken. That little bite I told you about that I got? Didn’t even finish it. My dad was equally pissed at this point and threw a peice of his onto my plate while swearing to himself. It seemed as if it was frozen, and then microwaved. Nothing of this seemed like chicken should be. It was rubbery, somewhat flavorless, extremely dry, and just terrible. Told my mom to try a bite and she cringed and eventually spoke to a manager on behalf of us because my dad and I were so bummed out.
The nachos were not good at all. It seemed like something a drunk person would make for their buddies at 4 in the morning once they got home. Too many nachos covered in diced tomatoes, «cheesey» yellow queso that you would find at the store in the chip section in jars, a tiny amount of chilli scattered over top and raw jalapeño slices with a side of salsa. Tons of plain chips left over. Nine bucks.
The service here is really good. The manager handled the situation appropriately and the server was very nice as well.
The moral of this story is that I vow from this point on to never step food in another BW3s again. Truly low quality, crap food.

Love the food but when you order for take out the proportion of food is cut by atleast half. If your hungry eat in.

Its been almost 3 years since my last review so I thought an update is due. Had a coupon for free wings I had won from the Lido in a coloring contest. Used the coupon, had mini corndogs and some beers. It was also bonerless wing night so I added a few of them bad boys to my order. To keep in true Unilocal fashion I had Thai Curry and Teryaki sauce for dipping. Hopefully they will have more exotic, random, third world flavors the keep people happy on here. Hopefully Botswana Bogobe (porridge) and Cambodian Khmer () flavors are in the works. Previously, the kids workin were my biggest gripe but the ones they had yesterday were all fun! Even saw a manager or two walking around. Food is super processed and salty but when they have good deals on wings and beer, I can do it once and a while. When Im feelin’ squirrely…

Our server was great and the food came out quick and hot. The only thing that changed it from a great meal to a shitty meal was the mid meal opera performance from another member of staff. I was trying to hear the hockey but couldn’t. They need to sort this out

Great service from our server, but there was an annoying employee obnoxiously singing opera constantly as we dined.

Poor customer service, from top to bottom. There’s a reason this place is empty during sporting events

BW3 in Fairview Park is a Steelers bar which should be boycotted by the fans of all other teams. They will play the Steeler’s games with volume every week in their back room. However, no longer will they play the volume for any other team when the Steelers are not playing. When asked, I was told it is because they are turning away Brown’s fans from their restaurant when Brown’s fans can not sit in the main room and the bar area, and want to listen to and watch the Browns play. That makes sense, but then why when the Steelers play do you turn away Brown’s fans that no longer can get a seat in the main room, or bar area and want to watch and listen to the Brown’s game?
The service is good. The food is over priced. The large screen TVs are aging.

Great BW3 in general. Much better than the food from the one in Avon. They actually put enough sauce on my pulled pork sandwich, which was delicious. Hit up this Bdubs if your ichin’ for some good bar food.

Bartender was a jerk about how I wanted my drink and would not make it how i would prefer it… had to go somewhere else to get my beverages but wings were delicious as usual…

Just your average Bdubs – the service here is pretty good. I’ve never sat in the dining room; whenever I go here I always sit at the bar. I think this bdubs does a much better job at spinning the wings in the sauce so they are actually covered. I usually go here for their boneless wing night on Thursdays, and if I’m there during happy hour, the bartenders do a good job of pointing that out to me so I can take advantage of their drink specials. This is the bdubs that I use to make comparisons to when I go to other ones. There’s a great atmosphere here when I watch Cleveland Browns games.

I came in on wing night to find a few things has changed. You can order either bone or boneless wings in any denomination. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Pretty young staff as a whole but I was surprised with how many people spoke or smile as I was being seated. The beer selection has improved since my last visit with a mix of domestics, micros and imports. Any franchise that doesn’t carry products made in the city where they make $ won’t get any of mine. They also have a private room that can be reserved.

This is the only BWW I have ever been to, so my review has no comparison for this place. Why a person who lives in the east suburbs of Cleveland metro area will travel all the way to westside to go to a chain which does not serve anything special? Answer: For the joy of playing trivia with friends. If it was not for the trivia, I would have never been to this place. So the trivia is working for business.
The interior and ambiance is quite generic with low light and many television sets. Wait staff is very nice and friendly. Most of the time chairs are not wobbling and music is loud enough to exercise your vocal cords. I have ordered veggie burger more than once here and it has been different everytime. Most of the time it is edible and sometimes enjoyable. I will be coming here as long as they have trivia and my friends are playing in the league.

A great spot to hang out. Its better than the other BWW i’ve been to, and i’ve been to a lot of them! Great bartenders during the week but the 2 girls who work on the weekend or nights just don’t cut it. They’re to slow and leave you sitting there twittling your thumbs waiting for service. Besides that this place is great! I love just hanging out watching the games over beer and wings. Spicy Garlic!!!

Love that they have dead guy ale here!

I miss BW-​3. I miss the name and I miss the just a notch above a dive bar status it carried along with it. The glorification of the Buffalo Wild Wings is shrug worthy. It’s like going to a fancy McDonalds. Dude, you’re still at McDonalds.
That said, with my search for the perfect wing far, far from satisfaction, we went to make sure that our wing desires were sated, if not satisfied. Mission accomplished, BDubs. Your Asian Zing flavor was tasty — almost a Thai like candied sweet and heat flavor that left a great deal of heat lingering for moments afterward. Not too much heat, but, just enough to remind me of what I just ate. The Spicy Garlic, my old standby, were just spicy enough to need a sip of beer after each one.
The rest of the experience? Well, I can’t blame our lethargic waitress for being a lethargic waitress. I’d be a lethargic waitress if I were 1) able to be a waitress and 2) waiting tables at a BDubs on a Thursday night around 630PM. Still though, a little enthusiam won’t kill you. Maybe a smile here and there? Though, in the interest of full disclosure: If given the choice between Joanna and Brian, I’ll take Joanna 100% of the time. Give yourself 10 cool points if you get that reference.

The new location misses the character of the older bedubs located down the street.

I Googled this location and it led me to a wrong address. 20 412 Center Ridge Road. I provided the correct location in this review.
My wife was complaining that she was cold. There was cold air blowing from the ceiling. It’s winter. Shut the air off. We moved tables because we were cold. It didn’t help.
Service was good. My diet coke tasted like soda water. The wings were great, I had the Caribbean Jerk and the hot.
Again, we did enjoy the food, but damn it was pretty cold in this place.
Our bill for our family of 3 was under 40 bucks.
I would go there again… on a warmer day.
