    Buffalo Wild Wing Fountain Square Place #0185 Maritza was our server and she was terrible. Got order incorrect even after reading it back to us and confirming she had it correct, did not keep drinks filled, not apologetic for errors, disappeared for 30-40 minutes at a time, waited an hour for check for $147.46 with it being incorrect also with the items we didn’t order spoke to management with nothing but a sorry. Was here for Sons graduation from Navy Boot Camp and to enjoy a meal with family and football. Would NOT recommend this location for anyone. They also were not busy at this time.

    Copper needs to be more supportive and aware of what’s happening on the floor here at Buffalo Wind Wings. Having only two waiters trying their best to serve around 15 tables is unrealistic and unfair to both staff and customers. While the manager is busy helping in the kitchen, people are waiting 25–30 minutes just to be seated. Copper really needs to step up, get out of the office, and experience the rush firsthand—especially during the busy evening hours when guests are coming from Six Flags. The team can only handle so much before they become mentally burned out. I do want to give credit where it’s due—Jasmin, our bartender, did an amazing job keeping up and providing great service

    Slow service, not a lot of customers on site and no bartenders. I have been a long time customer at this location. I have seen how this place has going down as it has loss good waitresses and great bartenders this past year, definitely a management issue here. I left and took my business somewhere else since they can't make one simple drink like a mango/pineapple long island. I never thought that this place was going to change very drastically for worse. I have been holding back to write a review hoping that it will get better but I don't think it's happening here. 10/18/25
