Absolute worst run place I have ever been to. We have even given them a second chance, but they are still rude and unorganized. 1st time - rudely asked 'how many' at the front door without even saying hello. Threw the menus on the table and walked away. No server. No server. No server. Asked the hostess who huffed and walked away. Server arrives. Pissed off at us, and made it very clear. We left. 2nd time - greeted at the door somewhat nicely. Sat us at a dirty table. Throw down the menus and kept walking away. I mean, the table was a mess. Water, debris, etc. the waiter shows up and asked what we would like to drink while looking at the TV screen. Walked away.. and we had HaD it with this restaurant. We left. Never going back. Period. read more

Don't get the coleslaw here, or anything that isn't cooked. Just spent the entire night over a toilet.

3 strikes, 1 star. This will be the last time I come here or any Bdubs to eat, I'll stick with beer and onion rings if I have to eat here with co-worker again. Last night when we arrived we waited far too long for how empty it was. 2 workers were at the front and did not look towards us or ask us anything? Long story short, I was asked 3 times were we want to be seated until we were actually seated. staff was poor: C, no hello, no goodnight, kinda rude, must suck to work there. Our server was awesome: A. She was polite and checked on us here and there. I would of said something about the food but she was so busy, she was far to busy. Food: F Chicken tastes like it was in the freezer to long. $10 Burgers are only cooked well done, always avoid. The only thing edible is some of the appetizers. Not worth the money. Dinning room: F. I've seen cleaner Chuck E. Cheese's. It was warmer by the entrence than the dinning room. read more

Went here with a group and the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. no pun. The moment I walked in I wanted to leave. It was loud, over crowded and dirty. The vibe in the place is just not good at all. We did have a larger party, but the service took forever. I was happy they had the naked tenders, but they weren't great. None of the sauces I tried were very impressive. I honestly can't believe so many people love going there! Bad vibe + slow service + mediocre wings = 1 star read more

Hello my name is aaron I always come with my friends and family normally to the bar but this time I came with my kids and I send my daughter to the front person who receives reservations and he was talking with the cashier and both ignored my daughter so I came and talk to them and yelled at them just to say I wanted a table please keep an eye on that rude attitude.

Buffalo Wild Wings - American Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

See all

I never know how to rate a Buffalo Wild Wings...they are clones of one another... everything is exactly the same, so they all blur together for me. When I think of BWW I think of greasy food, alcohol and sports. That sums up every location. The servers are just okay and tend to disappear for a while. I like going on Mondays when they have 60 cent boneless buffalo wings. I also have to order the fried pickles every time I go! read more

Very friendly staff and yummy food. Overall looked clean. Had wings and beer. Louder than most I have been to but when every championship being played at the moment has a team from Illinois in it I guess that's what you get. read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars because the staff is so friendly but gosh, they are slow. I go in here often for lunch as I work nearby. Without a doubt every time I've ordered, something is forgotten. Ordered chicken wrap with Ranch on the side, order comes with no Ranch. The waitress was extremely apologetic but then takes 10 minutes to get the Ranch, by this time the wrap and fries are cold. Actually the fries are ALWAYS cold here, even as they are served. The waitresses claim to know this problem and have no problem bringing out fresh fries. I enjoy the food but wish I could eat everything warm the first time. The waitresses go out of their way to be friendly and have great customer service, but are lacking on the serving part. read more

If you are driving out here from Woodfield, its fucking far. Take the expressway. Don't listen to your goofy friend, saying, its nice outside, just take local. Plenty of parking. Its located in the parking lot of a big ass strip mall. Completely opposite of Skokie, more dude servers?? And there were lots more dude customers and hardly any women. Why three stars? Oh yea.. the food which is standard. AND BIG BUCK HUNTER PRO!! (Its not online yet) Beers and Deers bitches!! Too bad they put the friggin' machine right behind a table and next to the darts. IF anyone sits at that table, you are S.O.L. WTF? I drove out here only to play that game, I talk to the bartender. Cool guy, moved the machine over for us. Manager comes by later on... says some dumb shit to me like, "YOU can't have this machine twisted like this. This time is OK, but next time, I'll have to put my foot down." How about you stick it in your ass, buddy. I didn't move the machine. Nor was I the tardo that chose to place this machine in a tight area. Move that damn golf cart somewhere else!! BTW, dude looked like he'd already slammed one to many 23oz.s read more

So, what's your favorite food? For me, wings are number one and it's because of Buffalo Wild Wings. I love this place so much that we had our rehearsal dinner specifically at this location, no joke. The Hoffman Estates location rocks. The General Manager, Jay, and his staff do an excellent job of maintaining quality and outstanding service. Ask for Melinda, she has been waiting on us for the past couple of years and is phenomenal. It is because of their excellent service in addition to finger lickin' wings that keeps us coming back week after week. In terms of the sauces, I alternate between the Caribbean jerk, spicy BBQ, parmesan garlic, and mango habanero. You can ask for your wings to be crispy or saucy depending on how you like them. We often come on Tuesday nights for the $.45 wing deal but can't help when the craving calls and end up coming on random days of the week. Heads up, this place gets packed on game nights. There are other places in the city for wings but for me, they can't beat Buffalo Wild Wings. read more

Korean BBQ sauce was sold out when I had lunch there after trick or treating withy niece at the arboretum. Bdubs is always kid friendly, which I appreciate and they brought the kids meals out first so the kids stayed busy. I used to work at Bdubs and noticed that their menu has changed quite a bit. No longer 6,8,12 piece etc. they also upped their ante on desserts with cheesecake bites and a few other fried delights. I was excited about their garden sampler appetizer which included celery, carrots, sweet red peppers, olives, pita bread and hummus. It was great to have among the mountains of fried food we had. Wish I could have tried their k BBQ sauce though! read more

Most of the food is just ok, but I'm a sucker for good onion rings. So far, they have the best ones I've found in this area. Normally we try to get here around 11-11:30am for lunch or around 3-4 pm for dinner just to avoid the crowds. It works pretty well for us. My wife usually gets the naked chicken strips and I get either a buffalo chicken sandwich or pulled pork sandwich. We share a basket of onion rings. Love the spicy ranch dipping sauce for the rings! Again, the sandwiches are just ok. An extra star just for the onion rings! read more

20 minutes for boneless wings and Potato wedges served cold. Cheese had time to cool. Staff offered to remake them. If it takes another 20 minutes it won't be worth the wait. - 5 minutes later - second set of wedges were hot. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - 20 minutes for boneless wings and Potato wedges served cold. - American Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Been here a few times. It's really busy on some of the weeknights here. It's usual BWW, the service is a little slow because of the crowd. Drinks here are pretty good, depending on the server, it can get decent to good (in terms of drink and dining experience). Wings here are good, but make sure they are atleast hot when they hit the table, because one time it was just mild. The fried pickles are good. read more

I don't know what the other guy was talking about. I like BWW and come here often. Service is just ok, what do you expect from a wings joint? Yes, servers are mostly dudes. Go to Hooters if you expect your server to be a chick. Wings are decent, beer is good. I like the naked tenders wrap and variety of sauces. I agree it's a drive from Woodfield, but it's also far from the assholes who've been shopping at Woodfield all day. Gets crazy loud on sports-events night (especially cubs and illini games), but I like the NTN trivia and boneless wings nights. Wings come in paper containers, wipes at the table for your fingers. Sauces, celery, and extra dips are extra. (Like the 40 cents will kill you.) Decent beer, food, and NTN. Go in expecting it to be a super snazzy place, you will be disappointed. But if you have realistic expectations, you should be ok. They also do carry out. Bonus! read more

I am a huge fan of most BWW in the Chicagoland area. This one however is very subpar. I placed an order that was going to be picked up, I was put on hold with no indication. Then a very rude lady picked up and asked for my order. I gave it and at the end she said "It'll be ready in 10 or something." and hung up. Picking up the food was a struggle also. We asked for wet naps and extra ranch and received neither. Overall, my suggestion is finding another BWW as I'm sure it's better than the service you'll find here. read more

All i can say is.....it was so cold in there we didn't stay past an appetizer. It's winter in Chicago. Turn the damn heat on. read more

In my opinion, this place is for suckers. There are MUCH better wing places out there, as long as you don't care about the fact that they don't carry 40,000 different flavors of sauce. But outside of the sauce, I don't feel like there's enough meat on the wings and they always feel a little overcooked. But I have to give them props, their lunchtime specials (wraps, mini burgers) are pretty good deals and I've never had problems with service from 12-1. It's only when I go during happy hour -- when everybody and their mother comes here and they never have enough servers. And I mean "everybody and their mother" because I've never gone here and NOT tripped over a high chair. Extra star for the fact that there's not a single spot on the wall that DOESN'T contain a TV. read more

By far the worse BWW I've visited. My date and I ordered the same items (Traditional and Boneless wing combo) and the food arrived "COLD" and missing coleslaws, selected dressing and the carrots were certainly old. The worse part is after I paid "cash" and waiting for my change, I did not received my full amount. I guess BWW is financially strapped. One good thing is UFC PPV was on. I would not recommend eating here. Instead go for a drink and watch TV. read more

Hi, I wanted to take a minute to let you know of my experience on August 16th at the Hoffman Estates Illinois location. My brother and I came in to have dinner around 5:30 and were seated in Amanda C's area. Amanda was great, she was happy and a real pleasure to have. It was great to have someone the was so attentive, she even went out of her way to help with a to go order I placed last minute. Having Amanda on your team will make repeat customers out of just about anyone! read more

Always reliable and consistently good hot buffalo wings. As a former Buffalonian, that's important. No breading, no fancified sauces, just fried wings with a lightly buttery Frank's coating. Bartender was pleasant and efficient. This location in an outbuilding in an easy access shopping mall just off I-90. Good beers on tap. What else is there to say? read more

They sell wings and all things fried. This is a great location to go and watch UFC fights. It's loud, the people cheer along and you don't have to pay for the PPV yourself. You can sit and eat wings, drink beer and yell at the tvs without anyone really judging you. However, when looking at this place from a food quality and caliber of restaurant it could still be a stretch to give them an a-ok. The service is always sarcastic (in the impatient, not so nice way...not the fun playful way) and spotty. It's what you'd expect. Deep fried chicken coated in your choice of dipping sauce. The options for healthier fare are limited if not non-existent. But you don't come here to watch your waistline. You come here to eat out of a paper tub and clean your hands with wet naps. For a place to hang out with friends, have a quick meal this place is a-ok. If you're looking at this place for fine dining then I'd question you before questioning the restaurant. read more

This is my go-to of BWW. It is close (ish) to my house and has good food. It is always busy, but that also says something for it's quality and service! Plus, if you check in on Scavenger, and you do enough activities, you can earn free wings! Last night, my sister picked up food for us "to go". They checked everything before it was in the bag, and we were good to go. they got everything correct (which is hard to do in our case, sometimes!) but... ...they forgot napkins and forks. And we were eating at a place that didn't have either. So we had no napkins for our wings (messy city!) and my salad was turned into a finger food. NOT ATTRACTIVE! But it tasted good all the same! read more

As others have said... sometimes it is really hard to rate a Chain, they are all the same. This location is decent, sometimes I have had terrible waiters, sometimes I have not. Last night we were there for the NIU game and our waiter was totally good, lacked on getting the right amount of waters and the kitchen messed up our friends wrap (though they comped the meal), but other than that, he was always there when we needed him and he wasn't in a rush to get us out. Wings always have enough sauce, flavors are always good, and I LOVE their fried pickles. Their wedges were really good too, had great crunch and plenty of seasoning. Loved that they had $4 Absolut drinks on Wednesdays :) read more

I like hitting BWW for their boneless wing deal on Thursdays, for that quick fix without traveling out to an exceptional wing joint. I visited this location in early August around 1pm on a Tuesday and not only were they out of their limited time Ghost Pepper sauce but they were out of Sam Addams Rebel IPA. Our server was great especially since we were in a rush to see a movie, but it ticks me off when restaurants can't keep adequate stock of popular or advertised product. How can you be out of things by lunch? read more

I have a like-hate relationship with BW3's. Their signature product is wings, so I thought I'd be rewarded by touring their line of barbecue and hot sauces, but I find their sauces to be completely one dimensional. I haven't found a BBQ sauce I like. I haven't liked garlic and parmesan, or any of the creamier sauces. So... is it because of the sauces, or the wings? Well, after repeated visits, I've decided it's the wings -- the boneless ones have too much breading, not enough chicken, occasionally really dry. The bone-in ones are the better choice. But I've settled on the chicken tenders, which also have far too much breading but at least keep the chicken moist, and sometimes, I actually like the crunch. And whatever sauce I've had with these has been better. So it goes. I'll just get glorified chicken tenders off your menu, and the Asian Zing and Carribean Jerk sauces, in exchange for everyone I work with insisting on coming here most Thursdays in the year. read more

Stopped in for their Tuesday traditional wing deal on New Years Day, and to our surprise, the place was empty (maybe people were still hungover)? Well my fiance and I ordered the following: - Fried pickles - Buffalo chips w/ queso - 6 lemon pepper wings - 6 chipotle bbq wings - 6 mild - 6 honey bbq The fried pickles were heavily breaded, not as good as Hooters. My fiance loves the buffalo chips, though i wasnt impressed. They are thickly sliced potatoes with no seasoning or crunch. The lemon pepper and chipotle bbq wings were dry rubbed items from their limited time menu. They were not anything special. I like my wings wet and moist. The honey bbq wings were the best as the mild sauce tasted too strong. The reason for the 2 star is not only due to unimpressive food, but service. Our server Emilie was incrediblely slow. We had to flag her down to give us the check, then she went to another table to chat with people. We waited 15 minutes for her to come back and pick up the check, and she only came because we flagged her down again. Right after she dropped off our receipts, she went right back to talking to the other table. She didnt say one word to us. Walking out, the guy at the take out window saw that we were carrying 2 boxes of leftovers and asked if we wanted a bag. Something that our terrible waitress should have provided. BWW is not worth the cost for the food. I could make better wings for 1/4 of the prices they charge. read more

This is a great Buffalo Wild Wings! For lunch, they are quick and efficient. For after work, they have good drink selections and specials during the week. Their food is well above average compared to other restaurants in the chain. read more

I have been on a wings kick lately so I hit up both BWW and Hooters in the past week. In my opinion, the wings here at BWW do not hold a candle to the ones at Hooters. I ordered the 'hot' wings and they were definitely spicy, the sauce itself was good. I even asked my waitress for additional celery and ranch dressing which she provided at no charge. However, the wings had no crunch to them (possibly due to being drowned in the sauce) and were dry and chewy. I'll drive a bit and go to Hooters the next time I need a wings fix. read more

I love this BDubs! It's pretty large and lots of TVs. I always go here during football season. I love Tuesdays and Thursdays when they have their chicken specials also. I gave it 4 stars because the hosts are very slow. One day I waited 10 minutes for a table and they let someone in right before me even tho they were in line behind me. Your apology doesn't count dammit! I want booze and wings!!! read more

I've only been here during the day. It is usually a before or after stop when I hit cabella's and the gun range. The beer selection is always great. They have all kinds of things on tap. The service is sketchy but i think all of them are like this. I have never been there for a game or anything else so my review is a bit limited. It's nothing more special than any other b-dubs. read more

Probably the slowest service I've ever had anywhere ever. Got to the place at 7:45 but the rest of my party didn't show up until 8:30. When I first got there told the staff that I had a larger group coming in and they only had seating in 2 areas for us and both were being used, who has such little capacity for guests? I had to ask a manager if we could just put a few tables together in order to get everyone seated, the staff had told me it wasn't possible to do but when I talked to the manager he had no issue with it. Once our waitress started coming we maybe saw her every 20 minutes from then on. The entire place had a total of 20 other guests and our food took an entire hour to come and there was only 9 of us. We would ask her for boxes multiple times and when she finally came back with those we wanted to order dessert and that took another 20 minutes. We finally left the restaurant at 11:30. The food was delicious but man was the service slow. read more

The Law of Diminishing Returns dictates that I rate this store one star lower than my first excellent experience with BWW on the East Coast. They'd have to do a little more to earn the extra star. Asian Zings wings are still good. Service on par, but hostess could be friendlier. read more

I was a bit skeptical about this place being a hardcore vegetarian. But, my bf(f) convinced me that I would love it. Boy was he right! From the awesome variety in hot sauces, to the veggie burger, and delish fries, I loved it all. Jager bombs were also a fun addition to our meal. I will definitely be going back!! mmmmmmmmm p.s. It's a sports bar...so, YES, they have TVs playing every which game you can think of (for the guys, or gals that are into ESPN)! read more

Get the salt and vinegar "DRY" bone-in wings. All the other wet sticky wings you can find pretty much at any bar. This place is very clean and service friendly. read more

What in the hell has happened to customer service? Understand that teenagers are the employees to most of these places but the chick here was sooo unfriendly. Melanie No hello- how are you- I said I needed to order for to go- pointed a menu to me I started my order and she said over me I need a name I asked for extra blue cheese and a boat or a paper plate. Her response was "we don't have those" no solution no nothing. Didn't even look up. (Two other employees very nicely suggested an extra box) She didn't give me my receipt. When the food was ready she opened the box - great- I said I asked for extra blue cheese "ya I know- I didn't get it yet". I asked for my receipt- no here ya go nothing just put it in front of me. I said ok thank you- NO RESPONSE. I said goodbye NO RESPONSE. May I suggest not putting somebody that doesn't know what her personality is as the first person you see in may contact you in your establishment it is very offputting read more

It's a-ok. I got 8 boneless, wedges, and a bloody-mary for $20 (not including tip). I was stuffed! Our waitress the the bomb! The place was jammed packed for a Sunday Bears game and she took care of us really well! I'll be back when my friends are there read more

Not too good. I started off with the fried pickles which were horrendous. They looked like they were dropped into 800 degree oil and scorched. The breading was crispy, burnt and the inside pickle was melted and barely there. I then ordered boneless wings with hot and chipotle sauces, but received a cup of powder instead. I later found out that it was called flavor dust, and to me, it looked like the base to their sauces. I asked the waitress for the sauce instead and she brought me another cup of powder. I was not very happy with the flavor or consistency. Service was slow and the staff were laughing and fooling around in the kitchen the whole time I was there. I definitely didn't enjoy the food or atmosphere at this location and most likely won't be back. read more

I've been to quite a few BWW locations and the wings, both boneless and traditional, have been overall good when dining in. Always plenty of sauce on the wings. Anywho, came here on a Saturday to meet some friends with my fiancee. We ordered mojitos to start off and our waitress told us they didnt have any mint leaves. No big deal, so she brought us our drinks. My fiancee had the original and it was super sour. When I tried it, the lemon taste was way too powerful. I had ordered the strawberry lime one. This one was not as sour but there was no alcohol. I didnt finish it and switched to beer. For food, we split the sampler and everything was really good. By far, one of the best onion rings I've ever had. read more

Poor service and rude waitresses at the bar area. Was told to sit anywhere and was completely ignored by a blonde and a girl with red hair. They had no issue taking other people's orders but kept walking passed us like we weren't even there. Sat there for 15 minutes before we walked out. read more
