During our cross country trip, we stop for the night in Effingham, IL. From the hotel we walk down to Buffalo Wild Wings with our dog and sit outside. The patio isn't for everyone as the nearby highway can be loud but it's perfect for us to sit with our dog, have a beer and food. We were lucky and had a great waitress (Christine) who brought out a bowl for the puppy, took our drink order and quickly returned, even apologized for the wait due to the slow pour of Guiness. We sat and decompressed from our long days ride, when our drinks were almost done, she magically appeared and took our order and request for refills. The kickin chicken sandwich was great, just the right amount of heat, the nachos were good along with the salsa. We got a plain hamburger for the dog. We always get great service here no matter what time we get there, this time it was around 6 pm, previously in Octobers visit, it was 3 pm. This location has always been a solid choice, great service (especially if Christine is working) and good food. We will be back in October for more wings, beers and outdoor service. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - A post driving Guinness on the BWW Effingham, Illinois patio - American Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

Busted stopped in on way to a conference. Place was nearly empty but we appeared to bother the host/ server. The server that we had (another bothered employee) literally said..."if no one else is taking care of you, I guess I will. Food - buffalo chicken wrap... chicken was nearly nonexistent and burnt. To top it off- while we were eating ... said bothered server was vacuuming . Including u see our table. Terrible ambiance. They need a full reset and training. read more

Horrible experience I don't know why I go back spent $15 for a honey barbecue chicken salad, barely covered the container and the lettuce doesn't even look fresh. I would not recommend this place. read more

I'm a local will never eat here. Disgusting food, terrible service, and the restaurant is always dirty. Most of the time waitress won't even come check on you so enjoy your one drink while you wait an hour for the coldest food you've ever eaten and this is when they're slow can't imagine how awful it is when they're busy. Do not eat here when there's easily 15 other options better Fridays, Chili's, Gabby GOAT all exceptionally better options. read more

Haven't been to a wild wings in 20yrs and it will be another 20 before I go back. Drinks can out, sodas tasted like syrup concentrate. After 40 minutes I asked waitress about our order cause people that came in after us were getting their food. She brought out a part of our meat, lukewarm at best and said she'd take the rest off our bill. They left the order sit there waiting on something else to cook cause they screwed up. read more

It's possible service. Waited 45 minutes. They try to bring our food out. It was cold is nasty and then apologizing for us having to wait an hour to get our food crazy read more

I'm not sure we've had worse service at a Buffalo Wild Wings. We were traveling bacj home from St Louis with our 3 kids (2 toddlers) and stopped in Effingham for lunch. We say bdubs and thought this would be a good option for semi-quick and good food. We could tell when we walked in that they were pretty empty but also seemed to have very few staff working. They got us seated in about 10 minutes and got our drink and food orders pretty quickly. The waitress did not visit our table again until after our food came out (45 minutes later). No drink refills, no apology for the delay. I had to go up and ask the to go desk how much longer it would be before our food came before it came out. Our wedges were made incorrectly and they did voluntarily comp them, however, the waitress didn't even say anything about it when she brought the check and again, no apology for the prolonged wait. The food was good, but man, the service was awful. It's one thing to be waiting an hour to eat when it's adults but dealing with this with a 2 and 4 year old was pretty frustrating. I'm really glad we don't live in Effingham and this isn't our only bdubs. read more

My son and I visited on April 29, 2025 sat at the bar ordered dinner "burger and wings" waited 50 minutes for food with zero follow up from our disinterested waitress. We drank water with lemon which she did refill once. Thankful for our time together! As the waitress continued to move about the area we decided it was time to go. I left a $5 tip and as we left Buffalo Wild Wings she says would you like it to go. "No, thanks, good night." Went to Panda Express drive through and enjoyed our dinner at his place. Horrible service, and discounted throughout... read more

We are locals and we'll never set foot in this place again. Twice now, we've had the WORST experiences. The last time, we waited over an HOUR for our food and it came out cold. Not just not warm, but COLD. It wasn't the waitress's fault, but the kitchen's. We told the manager and she footed the bill, but still... this place gone so far downhill it's not even funny. read more

Service is actually booty dookie bubblegum ass I have been waiting for 30 minutes I even went to the kitchen and no one was home

Took 15 min to be waited on, 50 minutes to get our food, and then it was cold. Horrible service and experience!!

Waiting for over an hour to get cold food. Wow Effingham Buffalo Wild Wings food was cold again.

The service was very slow with no one in there. The people were nice but our fries were cold. Also the soda was also flat tasting. Overall the food wasn't bad. read more

Food is absolutely splendid. The service however is not. I have been here a handful of times and the wait time seems to get longer every time I come here. One time I actually sat down and waited for my food for 2 whole hours. Another downfall of this BWW is the absolutely horrid take-out service. They always forget food. Every. Single. Time. The ambiance of the place is just about what you'd expect from a BWW. Overall, this place has great food, but horrible customer service for a surprisingly expensive price. I'd recommend going somewhere else in town. read more

This was an average experience all around, at BWW. This and many other chain restaurants were my only choice in Effingham as all the mom-and-pop restaurants were too afraid to defy Governor Fatty's orders of closing during pandemic. Wings were good, service was too, everything was set up properly for the pandemic. Plus, it was a great short walk from my hotel. read more

Ate here tonight on my overnight stop from Ohio, am a total fan of the people that work here. So friendly and absolutely some of the best BDubs employees I have ever seen !! And the new Southern chicken sandwich, OMG it is fantastic !! HUGE couldn't eat it all !! The cook actually brought it out herself and asked me if it looked OK, have never had that happen before !! A+ job Effingham B Dubs. read more

I was in Effingham this past weekend to visit family. What better place to go than Buffalo wild wings? Our order was taken and it was an hour and a half before we got our food. To our shock and dismay it was cold. When the waitress finally came back we told her of the problem and she said it would take about 15 minutes to remake the food. About 20 minutes later she came back with the food. After we finished eating we were given the check for almost $90. Can you believe that? As I went to the counter to pay I asked to speak to the manager. He was a young man maybe his mid-20s. As I was telling him of the problem he was smirking at me. Not very professional if you ask my opinion. After all of that I asked if I could get some kind of discount. He smirked again and said the most that he could offer me was 10%. What a joke! I will never eat at another Buffalo wild wings again. read more

There's nothing worse than visiting a restaurant and feel like your interrupting an employee get together. Three waitresses at the bar, two in a booth and the bartender could stop going over to sit and talk with the waitresses at the table. The men's bathroom was a mess, the soap dispenser was out and the under the sink trash can was sitting in the middle of the room. The water flow on the urinals needs to be adjusted, there is only a trickle ow water when you flush so the smell of urine is pronounced. read more

Literally just had one of the worst BWWs experience. We love the Mattoon BWWs but it was closed for remodel so came here. Terrible, terrible service. The food took over 40 min, couldn't even find our waitress Toyna at one point and the food came out cold. Gross, never going back to this Effingham BWWs! read more

Effingham BWW, bad service, cold food, they have very few customers spall they do is stand around and talk with one another. Our ticket looked like they overcharged us , so the waiter ( blond gal) took it to get the manager , came back and laid a new ticket in the table and said " he took a dollar off", walked away. I went to the bathroom , the overhead sign has a woman on the left and the women's filthy stinking dirty bathroom is on the right read more

Keto review It's so easy to eat keto here! Traditional wings with mild sauce and a side salad. I love to go on traditional Tuesdays when their wings are just 0.60 each. read more

Stopped in to BW3 for a quick snack before a recent wedding reception. We ordered three different kinds of wings and as usual, they were delicious. The sauces were spicy, the wings were meaty, and they were hot and yummy. Our waitress was very friendly too! Recommend! read more

Always delicious, and no matter where I am... I can count on great quality and consistency. The manager was really helpful in providing an itemized receipt after the fact. He had to text it to me, which was going above and beyond IMO. read more

Usually pretty good food...tonight...we'll waited over an hour for my togo order paid $32 and got barely Luke warm burgers ! Not worth the time or wait! read more

I was in town for job training for a few days, placed an online order. Super convenient, easy and prompt service. I was able to keep an eye on my order online and was notified when it was ready. The young kids who work there in the pick-up area were very friendly and accommodating. I even got an extra free sauce to try, so that was a nice surprise! read more

This chain restaurant is typical of what you would expect from a BWW. It is generally full most times I've been here and can get jammed during peak sport seasons, especially for football. The service is hit and miss and certainly affected when it gets packed. But, for the most part I would say the service deserves a solid 3 stars, and on occasion 4 stars, and I've not experienced crappy service here. The wings and sandwiches are good and do the trick. Nothing special or worth bragging about. I've found this location to be a trustworthy spot for lunch. When doing dinner, best to come just before or after the typical peak dinner time rush. For those of you travel from out of town and stopping in here, peak dinner starts at around 4:30 and goes to around 6. Unless of course there is a big time game on in the evening, then it can go well past 6. read more

Longest wait i have ever experienced 30 minutes and still no food. The waitress may have checked on my table maybe 4 times. I eventually started noticing other tables who came in after me getting there food before my table. highly disappointed. read more

It was the first time at this place. COVID had the service short but the lady was working hard. Food was good.

Good wings. Good service. (Beware if u have a sensitive stomach, I don't think the taps have been cleaned in a long time, people I went with who drank beer had a tough night & next morning.) read more

Never have I ever had service so bad. My boyfriend and I came to have an evening to ourselves, he works night shift so I don't get to see him very often unless he is sleeping. It was horrible service, the host who I believe name was Karsyn practically slammed our food on the table and just walked away and didn't say anything. No napkins, cold food, waited 10 minutes to get our change back and then another 5 minutes for boxes. I ate half my food by the time napkins were brought out. Ridiculous. read more

Staff seems lazy, everything tastes the same. I sure wish they get some "healthier" options for those of us that are drug along to this lackluster sports bar. Seems like they have a lot of turnover in their staff. I guess a lot of kids like it because that's usually who I see in there. read more

Good food Service slow and lazy like Not far off the Interstate Great place to watch your sport games So many flavored wings read more

I have been to this bdubs maybe three times and every time I have had the worst service I have had anywhere I have ever eaten. It takes ten minutes to even have a waiter or waitress come to the table to get our drink order. I have had my food brought to me wrong 2 out of the 3 times and it's not a complicated order. Just all around piss poor. Only good thing I have to say is beer is cold and food is good. I'll drive 30 minutes north to mattoon before I come back here again. read more

Unappreciative of tip cornered us and asked why we didn't give higher tip was very confused on why will not come back anymore. I do not recommend. Will not bring my family back again read more

Went at prime time on a Sunday. Our waitress got our game on a big screen after asking about different tvs numerous times with a friendly smile. Summer, our waitress, was always prompt in making sure we were taken care of. She was friendly, suggested items when asked and I was never looking for someone needing something. Great service and everything we ordered was delish. Favorites: Tex mex Nachos and Buffalo Zoo drink. Ask for Summer! We were visiting from out of town, but glad we stopped in! Thanks Summer! Merry Christmas! read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. We stopped here to eat and the service and food were horrible. Our food was meesed up so the waitress told us if we wanted fresh ones it would be 10 mins. well yes we want fresh wings! So she sat down to eat a booth right behind us and was complaining about her day. We just drove 12 hrs and had the worst food ever!!! She seemed to care less about our table. Next time we will just order domino's wings and be done! read more

i get that it is covid and staff is low, and they are using paper menus. why if you are issuing paper menus does the top beer deal not available? they never have the draft beers that are on the menu. don't come here to drink. the bar is slow and they never have what is on the menu. read more

Great service food was on time food tasted perfect great place to chill and relax after a long day of work
