| - Working less than a two-minute drive away, this is a somewhat regular Happy Hour destination for my colleagues and me. We are especially fond of Wednesday Trivia, where we've been able to reduce our total expenditures by about 10-15% on average with our winnings.
The Buf certainly has good Buffalo burgers. And their pizza is pretty damned good, too. Their pita nachos are a mainstay at our table, and they're delectable.
They tend to hire for looks more than ability, although you do run across the occasional attractive and capable server, but I've never had a BAD server. One in particular has usually done a great job of handling our table of 8-10, separating checks, etc.
Their menu changes a lot which is upsetting. I also hate the menus that are overrun with advertising. I get it (I'm in marketing), but I still hate it.
Occasionally, even at a cheap chain sports bar, I want a decent drink. You are not going to get a good grown-up drink here without getting specific with the bartender. At least, that's been my experience. For bonus points during trivia, I asked for a shot of Wild Turkey, and it came out chilled and watered down. I ordered a T&T once and got Tanqueray and soda. Was told once they had Christmas Ale in stock, ordered a pint, and it was Grassroots Ale, GLBC's single biggest screwup in their history.
Stick to beer or sports bar style drinks and you'll be fine. The food is good to very good for what it is.
