| - Tonight Buffalo Wild Wings was an example of being at the right place at the right time. It would be my debut post-hiking supper of the new year. Usually when I hike, additional mileage is added parking in a busy shopping center where my vehicle is away from isolation. This Buffalo Wild Wings happens to be in a Von's shopping center that has a unique distinction of being the gateway to miles of hiking in the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. Following seven hours of hiking on twelve miles of trails, I was so hungry that anything looked good. It was a good deal that I had parked near Buffalo Wild Wings.
When I walked inside around 7:30 on a Sunday night it was moderately busy. The hostess asked me if I wanted to sit at the bar or at a booth. The last thing I wanted after seven hours of hiking was a beer. That would really knock me out. The waitress walked me to the closer room with the tables. As I waited for the waiter, I would be totally exhausted not to realize that this is a bar and grill that just happens to be known for their chicken wings. All around me there were television sets playing professional sports. I counted 22 of them. I also counted on fulfilling my post-hiking appetite.
I decided on the buffalo chicken ranch sandwich. There was a slight miscommunication because the waiter thought I meant the chicken ranch chicken wrap. Fast forward to when I saw the Buffalo chicken ranch wrap, I was going to bite in. I was so hungry that I could eat anything and used this situation as an opportunity to try something new. Again, this was an example of being at the right place at the right time. After trying something new, I learned that I am favorable toward the buffalo chicken ranch wrap. The tortilla loaded with buffalo chicken tenders, medium sauce, ranch dressing, cheeses, lettuce, and tomato was good food that was slowly making my appetite passe. The large onion rings and bottomless Pepsi complimented the Buffalo ranch chicken wrap. If I wasn't up for onion rings I could of ordered fries or for an additional 50 cents potato wedges. The one complaint I have with the wrap was that it failed to hold the food together causing a good amount to spill onto the plate. The buffalo ranch chicken wrap, onion rings, and Pepsi came to $13 and change.
The service was decent. I did have to ask for napkins. At the end, the server who was generally quiet started chatting with me about the Galaxy S5 book I had brought with me. Having a conversation with the waiter leaves a positive impression on the service.
In conclusion, this Buffalo Wild Wings is neither poor nor great. It is good. Probably the next time I visit a Buffalo Wild Wings will be to try the new one on the Las Vegas Strip. As far as this location, I don't see myself going out of my way to return here soon. But then again, my appetite might lead me back sooner than I think when I return from another exhausting hiking adventure in the nearby trails of the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area.
