OK, first thing, this restaurant was probably a bad fit for me. I am +60 years old and when I am out I enjoy talking with whomever I am with but the background noise level inside made conversation difficult. Plus, I’m not a «sports bar» type person. I really find that 49 sixty inch screens, two 110 inchers over the bar and one(i am told) over the urinal is a tad distracting. The constant sports themed video bombardment is just not my style. Before we left home I tried to check the menu on-line and was pretty frustrated in that effort. I found the menu on the corporate website to be lacking, Navigating through most of the menu was not feasible due to it’s design. The site has no description of any of the meal options, and finally there is no mention of pricing(apparently prices are set by the franchisee). The restaurant itself is well lit, and is clean. Then again, this location has only been open for a month or so, so it should be. The restaurant was at about 65% capacity when we arrived and seating was prompt. The wait staff went about their duties quickly and efficiently. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and she checked on enough to feel like we were not forgotten. Now about the food. I ordered a small serving(ten) of the sweet BBQ wings, fries and a Pepsi. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich, onion rings and an iced tea. Total cost before tip $ 27.18. So why the low rating? It’s still about the food. My wings were piping hot but, well, they were tough. Maybe they were from free range chickens who loved to fly or they hit the gym a lot. I don’t know or care. All I know is that I’ve had better. Did I mention the french fries were exceedingly salty? Listen, I like salt. One of my friends once said my popcorn burnt his mouth it was so salty. So when I say something is salty you’d better believe, IT’S SALTY! My wife’s meal was disappointing too. Her sandwich was not as generous as the price would imply and the pulled pork filling was somewhat past warm(but nowhere near hot), also not hot was the onion rings she ordered. They were lukewarm(at best) when the meal was served. Obviously the kitchen timed the meal poorly and hers sat there for quite a while before being picked-up. I’m afraid we won’t be back.

Nice overall experience, We were seated right away on a Friday night at 530. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. I haven’t ever eaten at a Buffalo Wild Wings. I built my own chicken sandwich. I really liked that it wasn’t this huge piece of chicken that I couldn’t begin to finish. Food was fresh. Our whole party enjoyed their dinner. There was a small mix up with our order but it was quickly fixed. To be expected from a place that had only been open five days. I was surprised to see that a couple of the TVs had bad screens. Not what I would expect from a place known for their numerous TVs and being brand new. I also thought it was silly that I had six big screens in my direct line of sight that had only 3 channels between them. I would expect more variety. With so many TVs I don’t think I should still be looking over my shoulder to see the other options.
