Buffalo Wild Wings Falls Short

Not long ago, I started seeing Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar commercials on TV. Being a sports-based restaurant, the basic idea is that while you’re there, the BWW staff (and fans) will pull far-fetched strings in order for you to spend more time with your friends or watching the game. One of my favorites is of a sunny weather forecast commercial that suddenly reveals a grueling storm (via garden hoses and leaf blowers) when BWW-goers say they have to get back to work.

Because of these witty commercials, I wanted to check BWW out, so my friend and I set off for the closest one. When I walked in, the in-your-face theme of black and yellow woke me right up. Everywhere I looked there was a flat-screen television, framed jerseys (even the wait staff wore jerseys with their names on the back) and neon beer signs splattering the walls. It’s a great place to watch a game, so it’s filled primarily with men (just to warn you, ladies).

As far as the wings, BWW prides itself on 14 wing sauces ranging from “smiling” (like Sweet Barbeque) to “screaming” (like Blazin’).  Otherwise, the menu features American favorites like the “Big Jack Daddy Burger,” the “Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich” and the “Southwest Chicken Queso Wrap.” There’s also an array of salads, flatbreads, and rib combinations to choose from. And if you’re not a wing connoisseur, there are plenty of menu options where you can still choose one of the sauces to complete your meal (which is what we did).

My meal:  My friend and I split a Chicken Wrap with Parmesan Garlic sauce and a Cheeseburger with Honey Barbeque sauce. The food was decent (nothing special), however our order came out terribly wrong:  Instead of crispy chicken we got grilled, there were tomatoes in the wrap (when we asked for none), and there was no Honey Barbeque sauce on the burger. Even though the manager came out to apologize, I still have to give it a 3/5.

And seeing as the closest one is in Easton, I’d say it’s not really worth the distance.
