Buffalo Wild Wings

Disappointed with wings today seemed to be old and they were hard. Also, not great with large groups over an hour wait for our food.

Correction: Beer selection not as advertised due to «winter» stock moving slow!
1. Alysia & Kianna rock;
2. Food was good

Great flatbreads and superb wings. You can’t go wrong here with everything a sports lover could want!

I’m giving a one star review because I’ve gone here a few times with friends and I always leave reminding myself I shouldn’t come back if I can help it. The last time I was there I was in a party of two which, instead of being seated at the quieter front of the restaurant, we were taken to the very back surrounded by large groups.
I ordered a drink that tasted more like Kool-​Aid than an alcoholic beverage and ate a wrap that was hardly satisfying. Our waitress was too busy with the larger groups to bother refilling our drinks and someone else brought out our food.
It says something when you’re happier to leave a restaurant than to eat there.

I never seem to learn. We were driving back from Traverse City and needed to stop for lunch, so we got off in Mt. Pleasant. Driving along the business loop all we saw was fast food, and as we were growing hungrier by the minute, we stopped at BWW. I mean, how bad could it be?
The plusses: Wonderful waitress. Very friendly and attentive. Fast service. The manager dropped by the table to see how we were doing. Outdoor seating. The french fries were pretty decent.
The minuses: Everything else. This is the first time I’ve seen a chain restaurant deliver a hamburger that was close to inedible. The «freshly made cole slaw» on the fish taco was just shredded cabbage. The «pico de gallo» was just chopped tomatoes and onions.
When you walk into a restaurant dominated by a bar and wall-​to-​wall TVs, you should realize that it’s not about the food. It’s a hangout for ADHD alcoholics who need a mixture of continuous outside stimulation to occupy their mind and a continuous stream of alcohol to deaden it. Food is just incidental.

A Bdubs, is a Bdubs, is a Bdubs. You always know what you’re getting — TV’s, sports, beer, and wings — and it’s always pretty good.
This one, though, used to be different. Back in the day (ha) when I was a student at CMU, I adored this location because it was smaller and just had a more down-​home, neighborhood bar feel than the big sprawling, commercialized-​feeling Bdubs of back home. My friends used to gather here frequently for Wednesday night karaōke (I know, what BWW does karaōke?! this one used to), and electronic trivia any night of the week. The seating was comprised mostly of high tops, and long shared tables, giving the place a feel that distinctly said more «bar» than «restaurant.»
Recently on a visit back to campus, I stopped in for old time’s sake, and found it to be just not the same. It’s still good, but it’s lost a lot of what set it apart from the rest of the Bdubs pack. Walking in, a hostess will greet and seat you. There’s still a section of high tops, but a lot of it has been replaced by lower tables and brighter lighting, which gives it more of the casual restaurant feel. While trivia is still available, the karaōke night is gone.
It was still a good meal and a good time. But I’ll always think back to the good old days…

This particular B-​Dubs is hit or miss. You get them on a good day and everything tastes fresh and delicious, the way the East Lansing location always is. Get them on a bad day and you get a lettuce sandwich with a few pieces of chicken and a dribble of sauce. I got take out to watch a football game at home with some friends and only one of the 5 orders of wings i ordered was done right. I would avoid this spot while students are in town and on any game day. big beers = better time :)

I highly recommend going here when school is out. It is much quieter, less smokey and the food is better. The wings were nicely sauced as was the wrap that I had. The chips and salsa that came with my wrap were better than the last time too.

Good stuff. Have been here even though it’s a chain. Nice because they have $ 2 big beers during Red Wings games. Everything else good, beer cold and perfect. No argument.
