I suspect at this point, few people need or use reviews for such places as 'B-Dubs', I mean they're a kind of 'seen one, seen''em all' franchise by this point with a nationally consistent menu, a large number of wide-ranging beers, a fairly efficient waitress/food-runner model of service, and sports on TVs everywhere. We've generally (and somewhat surprisingly) been big fans of the chain, in fact I've been to the original site, off campus at Duke! But we are rarely there on a prime Saturday night...and we won't likely ever be back during rush hour there again. The problem is that when the kitchen falls behind, the service delivery machine that sits behind it is not equipped, nor empowered to fix things. It will make you remember all the reasons why these chain restaurants irritate some and drive others crazy. In our case, our food took twice the time it normally does, and then was delivered lukewarm at best, then redelivered without half the platter, meaning an out of process trip BACK to the kitchen and more time were needed. Then to top all off...when we inquired if there were any extenuating circumstances, we were told that they were just experiencing the normal Sat night dinner rush in the kitchen, ultimately offering no other explanation or contrition. Altho hungry, we weren't in any particular hurry, how about a small discount, or even just a beer to buy some additional patience. I appreciate a well run business as much as the next guy, but first of all, if the same thing happens every Saturday night, maybe the work schedules need to be tweaked. Then, when things DO break down, you are ultimately only as good as your front of house people and their ability to explain (or mask) the problems and keep customers happy. It's pretty clear the servers/bartenders at BWW have no interest or incentive to do so. We've now lost interest too. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - The renovations were tremendous from the TV perspective In particular - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Had the Thai wings and was surprised for this establishment to be a big box store how tasty they were. Kitchen was very generous with the carrots and celery when past experiences with other BWW the kitchen acted as if I was asking for their first born when doling out the carrots and celery. Also I very much appreciated the veggies and dressing were packaged separately from the hot steamy wings so they were cool and crisp when I was ready to eat. read more

We had great service and the food was great too! Very fast as well- we went at 5pm - it looked more crowded by 7pm. We are from out of town and our BWW are all dirty and bad service and bad food these days so this was a pleasant surprise! read more

this was the worst service I've ever had in my entire life. The food was terrible. The waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for refills on our drinks and it took over two hours for our food to come here. read more

Arrived 40 minutes after carryout should have been ready and it hadn't been started. They said they could put a rush on it, but I declined and cancelled. I asked for proof that the order had been cancelled because the previous time that I cancelled an order, I had to call multiple times to actually get the money back on my credit card. That time they when the order wasn't ready, they strung me along with "it's almost ready" for over an hour before I cancelled. I wasn't going to do that again. Avoid. read more

Terrible service! We were told 20 minute wait. waited 45 minutes with no explanation or apology. At this point we realized that nobody waiting was being seated and the majority of the tables had no food on their tables. VERY poorly run restaurant. read more

Service was the best part of the meal, and it left a lot to be desired. Ordered 15 traditional wings and they came out cold, and for the first time I sent an order back. The next order was the same. It was as if they re-sauced the same wings. For over $22 I expect a lot more. Excessively overpriced wings combined with less than desirable service made for a zero star rating. read more

6P not very crowded Doesn't have anything to do with this place rather the state of viral affairs these days. Coupon brought me in. Having the Brisket Tacos (comes with fries but can be exchanged for chips and salsa etc.) Also ordered boneless wings w/Mango Habanero to take with me. Server has been okay (nothing outstanding), but he seems nicer than the female bartender that was first here now just taking her break). I'll come back even without a coupon food was good (albeit a tad pricey). read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - 6P not very crowded Doesn't have anything to do with this place rather the state of viral affairs these days. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Been here maybe 4 times, loud atmosphere for most of them, not the speediest service but have gotten a consistent blend of Bdub's fattening food, unable to resist Asian Zing, Honey BBQ, Mango Habanero, Caribbean Jerk, or a Buffalo dry rub. There's a good drink selection but can get expensive quickly regardless of ingredients or brand. It's great to see more menu items popping up. As well the Buffalo Ranch Wrap, jumped up in price from the seven bucks it used to cost, still when stuffed properly to bursting, is very tasty. Rewards is average, slow to add up, but best for takeout. Most recently did that, massive burger made wings look weak. That is something I've noticed for many BWWs - the burgers are where it's at! read more

We came here all the time 10 years ago and wow has it gone downhill! On Saturday night, when sat at the table we were asked if our child wanted a kids menu and coloring pages. We said yes but they never came. We ordered some medium wings for the kiddo and I got buffalo. When they eventually arrived after a long wait, they had the wings backwards (the sticker labels were correct, just not the actual wings). He almost cried after taking a big bite of the buffalo wing. The wings had clearly been sitting out a long time before being drowned in sauce. Could be described as slightly warm, nowhere near a hot, freshly cooked temperature. Crunchy in all the wrong ways. And to top it off, for 2 adults and 1 kid with wings and drinks it was $80 before tip! The wings at any bar are much better (and cheaper). Oh by the way, one of the servers was in the bathroom when I was and he went straight from the toilet out the door- no time for that pesky soap and water! read more

The food was good but we waited 20 minutes for a waiter. And when we got one she was uptight and didn't seem like she wanted to help us. Other than that we had a good experience only getting 2 starts for the food. read more

Here on a Sunday football games are on. The tv volume is so loud the server can't hear me. This is in the dining area not the bar.

Andrew Templin's bar is an otherworldly experience, the beer is cold, the food is warm, and servers are friendly. If you want frostiest Busch light on the this side of the Mississippi then come on down to BWW aka Andrew Templins playground. Victoria is an amazing compliment to the rambunctious style of Andrew Templins charisma. Destiny also plays a vital part into feeding into the chemistry that makes this dining experience warm and inviting, WE WILL BE BACK!! read more

I would of not of had a rating, but upon arrival at 10:50 I was looked at by a whole table of waitresses and the bartender like why is he here this late which it was not. they were laughing and looking at me like why is he here very uncomfortable feeling for BWW. I'm from west Texas maybe we do things differently there but this was totally wrong. Did I get my service yes, did I get my food yes, but the unprofessionalism of the staff was deadline. The main point I'm trying to make is why spend money at an establishment if they're not willing to greet you with service first and for most. I will come for an update. read more

We came in with our friends that we haven't seen in a year and were refused when we asked to sit at a table together. They claimed they couldn't push tables together but they pushed tables together for another group of people. read more

The usual hard wings for a lot of money. This place is the same as the rest of the chains.

Walked in and went to the restroom. The ceiling was leaking (it wasn't raining). The floor had water all over it. I told the waitresses the bathroom was filthy. They went in the bathroom, didn't mop up the floor. They put a wet floor sign down and said we just cleaned this bathroom. The food was horrible and cold! read more

Firstly and despite having a large group unannounced, the servers quickly seated us and served us with great manners. To my surprise, the food was excellent despite the shockingly low prices. Going into the trip, I wasn't exactly sure if I would enjoy it, but I am won over. 5 Stars. read more

Typical experience at this popular chain restaurant. Great spot for happy hour with good beer selection and lots of television screens. Food is pretty good. I like the burgers, but I love the loaded potato wedges. My kids like the wings. Pretty kid friendly: If you don't want to interact with your kids just pass them the complimentary handhelds to play games. Service is pretty low on the list of attributes. read more

Its your typical BWW but our server was amazing! Our server, Danny (I'm probably spelling it wrong), was so friendly and attentive. She was lively and just so bubbly that it was awesome. It took some time for out food to get out (not too long) but she still stopped by to let us know that it would be out and apologized for the delay. She checked on us throughout our meal. She was helpful with recommendations too. The manager was also very nice and friendly. Our dessert took a little time to come out as well, again, not long at all, and took the charge off our bill. My husband is a huge BWW lover and I'm happy to come back for the hospitality. Of course, you can never go wrong with wings and fries for a meal so win-win for me. read more

It's a Thursday on Jan 11- around 6pm , this places is packed and the bartenders are amazing . This place is so much better than the Peoria location- everyone is friendly and the food came out in minutes- it's a pleasure to see a well managed bww's- it's been awhile. read more

We decided to have a couple drinks here just to give them some business. They had outdoor seating with parking lot extended blocked off seating as well. They had 20 tables with 16 occupied total because YES I counted. 4 servers. It took them 15 minutes until my husband final had to flag one down to serve us. Most tables were just having drinks. The service was extremely poor. You'd think after couple of months of nothing they'd be waiting on you hand and foot to win your business. This was terrible. And we were giving them the benefit of the doubt. We tip well because we understand how hard server's work but this was ridiculous. My double shot rum and coke didn't even taste like it had any rum in it. Not coming back. read more

Over ten different tasty sauces for wings, you can't beat that. I love coming here for a quick beer and some tasty buffalo wings. There is plenty of seats for you to sit and enjoy a cold draft while watching your favorite sports team perform on the many LCD screens. I highly recommend the wings but stay away from the ribs, in my mind they are not as good as the wings. The service is good and plenty of parking. read more

Just ok. I've been here many times both for dinner and for happy hours. Ordinary food - mostly deep fried and fattening. Nothing standout. Decent beer selection and expected service. I prefer Hooters wings. It can be VERY loud which I suppose is my biggest beef with the place. The bar area is large but it has no short tables and I'm not a fan of tall barstools. I guess maybe I live in fear of drinking too much and falling off! LOL read more

My girlfriend and I came into grab a quick bite after work. The bartender told us immediately that they close at 11 and would not be serving food. This was at 10:28pm. We frequent here and have always had a great experience so this was shocking. I thought we could grab a couple quick drinks but the bartender quickly dropped the check after giving us the beers. Unprofessional, lazy and rude. Let's not forget how uncomfortable the bartender made my girlfriend by grabbing her arm. Assault with beers. Cheers! read more

Andrew Templin is the best bartender I have ever had he makes a mean old fashion and a great margarita he is also so handsome

I was at the hotel next door. I had no car. It was during Covid. And..I was in Bloomington. So things weren't looking good. This place helped. The drinks are cheap, the food is what it is and hey...its open. read more

Met all COVID requirements. Clean bathrooms. Quick service! Overall a typical dinner!

I placed an online order thru Yelp, and it didn't get sent to the store. Thankfully, the staff made it perfectly in 5 minutes once we got that sorted out. read more

If you like to wait 30 minutes when there are only a few customers for overcooked dry chicken wings, that are actually cold. This is your place. I'm guessing my order must have sat for at least 15 minutes before being served, and the dressing was forgetting. read more

This location of Buffalo Wild Wings have been pretty consistent in the many times I've visited. Their wings have always been spot on and I do appreciate their endless supply of carrots and celeries. Their drink size is generous and they have plenty of options to choose from. For a wait staff consisted of college students, I am surprised I have nothing to complain about. Service have always been attentive even when things get busy. All in all, I will be back! read more

After having a previously bad dining experience here, I decided to give this location another chance, against my better judgement. What a mistake. This visit was worst than the first one, and I will not be returning. The server was very rude, inattentive, and came across as miserable and inconvenienced that she had been seated. We waited quite a long time for her to even come take our order, despite the restaurant not being busy at all. When thanking the server after she delivered our drinks, she just turned and did not acknowledge she had been spoken to at all. When the food came out, I did not receive salad dressing, my bread was burnt and not edible, and we waited close to 15 min for drink refills. She did not check on our table at all until we were almost 95% done with the meal. At this point, we were just ready to leave the restaurant and not inconvenience the server by doing her job any further. Definitely our last visit there, and we do not intend on returning in the future regardless of how much time elapses. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings has the typical wings and bar food like all the other locations. I happen to love this type of food, so I usually leave very pleased. On this occasion we ordered the Fried Mac and Cheese for an appetizer. It was good and I enjoyed it but I probably won't order it again now that I have tried it. For my main meal, I stuck to my usual choice of the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. It is my all time favorite and my go to. I also pair it with wedges instead of the fries because the wedges are so much better. The service was also very friendly and quick. I will continue to come back to this location. read more

Do not order takeout from this place unless you want to get cold food delivered 15 minutes after the estimated delivery time and for them to only make half of your order and charge you for the whole thing. THIS RESTAURANT IS TERRIBLE. read more

I've been coming and going to this location for many years - including prior to the remodel. The times used to be good but the last 5 or so times I've gone to this location, the experience has gotten worse and worse. Good things: - The sauces are very good. Lots of options for anyone to find the right level of flavor and heat. - Beer selection is actually pretty large with great variety as of late but it's missed the craft beer hype bandwagon of 2017. - So many screens with sports on - pretty easy to ask for your favorite game to be flipped to a tv of your choosing. The bad: - food wait time - bar staff attentiveness / attitude - quality of the food Experiences: - 2nd to last time I was there was over lunch with 2 buddies. We sat in the bar area and ordered some wings and a wrap. The waitress was fine this time around but the kitchen took over 40mins to serve up our food. We all have jobs and meetings to get back to so we ended up not eating a single bite of our food and had to get it to go. Yikes. Fun fact, it was us and 1 other group of maybe 4 on the entire bar that day for lunch. - Last experience was for a fantasy football draft (draft was great!) ... the service was not. When I arrived I was asked what I wanted to drink (around lunch time). I requested a water and was promptly given a rude snarky response along the lines of [oh a water are you kidding me]. I'm all good with fun and games so just ignored it and requested just the water again. I did find it interesting that servers shame customers for not ordering beer - especially when they aren't checking IDs and have no prior knowledge of that customer ( what if I was a recovering alcoholic :o ). Once I got my water and finished it, I noticed that everyone else in our group of 12 was getting refills on beer but me and the other person in our group with water didn't receive a refill for over an hour. Eventually I asked for a refill and waited another 30 mins. That's when I had to leave the draft and go to the actual bar and ask for a refill. After this first refill the same situation occurred. What it seems is that our waitress was only interested in serving customers with drinks that ring up a larger bill. So over the course of 3 hours, I had about $30 of food and 2 waters. Pretty annoying but I'll take my money elsewhere ;) To add insult to injury, we had the wrong food brought out for our $100 wings / apps deal - that 2nd set of nachos were ice cold too. Most of these things I can forgive when the sports bar is slammed but it was maybe at 30% capacity. TL;DR If you find yourself to be someone without a large format LCD screen, food, beer at your home then this might be a decent alternative. Otherwise, invite your friends out to your place and have a much better experience. BWW sports bar format is a fad and it's showing its age. If you have a standing relationship with the owner / staff you might have a 2 star experience. read more

My boyfriend and I recently moved to Illinois from Virginia, where we fell in love with Buffalo Wild Wings and their delicious food. Unfortunately since moving here, every time we have ordered from our favorite chain there is a problem. Everything from overcooked wings, soupy queso sauce, lack of wing sauce on the wings. What finally broke me down and caused me to write this review was tonight we purchased 3 different wing flavors to go. When we got home, it turned our they had given us 2 flavors in three boxes. This truly ruined my boyfriends experience as the flavor we got 2 of were the ones we were least excited about and his favorite flavor was the one that was dismissed I urged him to call to at least get a refund, since he is especially picky and this actually ruined the whole meal. Upon calling, the manager Mike said that he talked to the female who checked us out who swore up and down that the wings were the flavor that was originally ordered. While we ourselves were sitting here looking at 2 boxes with the same sauce. We relayed this to the manager who said well next time YOU need to check the boxes. At this point I interjected saying that that is the EMPLOYEES responsibility. Every other BWW i have ever been to happily displayed the contents of each box before allowing the wings to depart. After pleading more for a refund Mike reluctantly offered to send us "something in the mail". While my boyfriend was giving the address, he accused him of being a repeat offender of this. Which is laughable considering we have just recently moved here. Overall HORRIBLE experience with people who OBVIOUSLY care nothing about customer service. read more

What happened to good customer service?? Not even great, would settle for decent. Been coming here for many many years and the last couple have been bad EVERY time. So sad, use to be a fun place with happy servers. read more

They weren't too busy on a Saturday afternoon though one of their employees (who could have been training or an owner) was walking around staring at different customers. I always get (i don't like anything too spicy): - traditional wings (mild, spicy garlic, honey bbq) - chicken wrap (with spicy garlic sauce) They have a great selection of alcohol and are very quick with getting their food to you. read more

I'm a regular and feel biased but here goes: Great beer selection on tap, great sandwiches, and wings. Great place to play trivia or catch the game. I take my family here regularly during football season but we come when there's nothing on too... Countless happy hours have begun and ended here. It's just a solid place for group interactions. read more
