| - Went to Buffalo Wild Wings because we had a gift card to use. Normally I'm not much of a wing guy but I do like Wing Stop so I figure, why not? What do we have to lose? Quite a bit actually.
No offense to the service here. Our waitress was prompt, very polite, and kept a good check on us. But the food? Eh, not my favorite for wings or bar type food. For a chain I guess I should have been held to the 'average to maybe above average' experience.
Was I mistaken to think the wings here at Buffalo Wild Wings should be bigger? Damn, these wings were small! An order of six could barely feed my 12 year old kid! We got her a kid's meal as well. Luckily we had our gift card which did cover most of the bill, but still we had to order quite a bit of food to lose our hunger.
We started off with the 'Ultimate' Nachos. I put ultimate in quote because they really weren't at all. Basic dish of nachos with chili, pico de gallo, jalapenos, cheese, and salsa all on a bed of tortilla chips. But...who puts shredded lettuce on hot nachos? Thing was all soggy upon arrival to our table. Serving was ok but barely enough for three of us to share.
For wings, we got traditional in the medium size (about 15-16 wings) in three flavors: Mild, Lemon Pepper, and Asian Zing. Our wings also came with sides of carrot and celery sticks, and blue cheese dressing. The wings? Bit of a disappointment to say the least! So tiny! Looks like it was meant for kids to nosh on. After two little bites one wing was gone. Flavors weren't my favorite either. The Mild? Basic Buffalo with less kick. Lemon Pepper? Dry, dry, dry! Where is the butter for this? Like they took fried wings and just dressed it with lemon pepper without anything to make them stick to the wings. Asian Zing? Just damn basic sweet chili sauce on wings. Bleh.
Kid got a meal of boneless wings in Parmesan Garlic flavor. She was disappointed as well unfortunately. The boneless wings were dry. There was nothing on them to really hold the parmesan garlic flavor in. Once again, a dip in butter would have helped. She ended up not eating most of them.
We've gone to that 'other' wing place (*cough* Wing Stop *cough*) a number of times and much prefer them I'm sorry to say. The wings were much more substantial, and the flavorings were much more on par with being tasty. Pricing was a bit better as well since it provided more value.
Sorry Buffalo Wild Wings, maybe next time!
