    My daughter picked Bdubs for her 9th birthday since shes never been and loves wings. I was hesitant because the last two, and only, times I've been there, I was disappointed. (Someone we invited didn't even want to join us tonight bc he felt the same) All to say that tonights visit went well beyond our expectations and now we will definitely be less hesitant to come again :) Our waiter Hunter was genuinely personable, attentive, and patient (explaining the deals/bill spitting/needing more sauces, etc) The burgers, wings, fries, lemonade, daiquiri, etc were all excellent! I recently went out of my way to give a negative review about a local dining experience; so I wanted to make sure I also gave a big shout out for a good one😉🙌

    Another very disappointing Buffalo Wild Wings experience… Our waiter was extremely unprofessional and told me “I won’t bring that sauce out” When we I asked for the bdubs sauce. This franchise continues to disappoint and locations like this are the reason why

    I visited this restaurant on October 16, 2025, around 5:30 PM to pick up an online order and saw a cockroach in the lobby. When I told the hostess, she said the manager told her there was nothing they could do except get it outside, and I watched her scoop it up with her ID card. I mentioned that if there’s one, there are likely more, and she agreed. I refused to eat food from a place with visible pests and asked for a refund for my order but was told it wasn’t possible because the payment had already been processed ahead of time. Extremely disappointing experience and poor handling of a serious cleanliness issue.

    The last few times I’ve came here the service was terrible. I think the first time I had a bad experience we saw the waiter twice, one to order and one for check. This last time was also terrible service, they were a bit busy so I understood it wasn’t gonna be fast but the waitress would walk by my table multiple times ignoring us. I waited 20min for a refill on my drink, she said she was refilling the like syrups or something but I saw her at the bar chatting with all the other customers for a good 15 min and agin she was repeatedly walking by turning the other way so we couldn’t get her attention. I’m not really confrontational or try to be rude to servers as i was one once but seriously? Once we finally got the check after waiting forever I watched her seat a table and immediately get their drinks and hand them out?? I mean I guess it was a group of cute boys and it was me and my mom but jeez come on. I know it doesnt mean anything when a customer says this but, i really dont think I’ll come back to this location. Super disappointing when I just wanna eat some good food with my family
