Went for Lunch because my brother wanted to try it. It's oriented for sports fans, date night, and just group dining I would think, but I think families can go there, but I recommend wanting to watch sports is a must. Menu it appears they're willing to change by trend. We all had burgers, but we double burgers or split burgers. Soda is refilled, except handcrafted sodas. In the future; might want to research seasonal coleslaw or broccoli-slaw for change up of side menu salads. Other: fried or steamed vegs as possible finger food. Portion side, it was expected. Shio liked the bacon melt leftover. I found out what was missing alfalfa sprouts made taste elevated. Not sure if they would add pan fry egg as optional item. Server was good, he explained things better, and ambiance wasn't too noisy to hear him. Server did say you can seating arrangement is up to customers. Noon time on Saturday seems like less busy, my brother was telling us, hard to get in, reserve spot, and appears like that way only if there was a live game it said so in commercials. Packed to where ppl were waiting in line get in. They do work hard making place clean. Thank you for the good food it was yummy. Edited at desktop, mobile doesn't allow much for spellcheck. Note: 1-star rating ppl might have gone when it was live game. Suggestion go when it's lunch or game days are re-played. Patience is a virtue, try to eat more when you go out. There is ton of food on menu besides the wings. read more

The place smells bad. Not a lot of folks eating inside. Salads are affordable. I just didn't like the vibe. The smell is "WILD" Maybe that's why there is no one really eating inside. Gosh. The smell level is OVER 9000! read more

My family and I recently visited Buffalo Wild Wings in Salinas, and unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. We ordered food from the restaurant for our family, but my daughter had brought her own meal because she doesn't eat the type of food they serve. While we were patiently waiting for our order, the manager approached my daughter and told her that she needed to throw her food away or finish it as quickly as possible. We understand that restaurants may have policies regarding outside food, and we respect that. However, the way the manager spoke to my daughter was extremely rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. There was no kindness or courtesy in the way the situation was handled. Good customer service is not only about following policies but also about treating customers with respect. This experience left us feeling unwelcome, and because of the manager's attitude, we will think twice before returning. read more

The first mistake we did was arriving to a new restaurant without reading the ratings. The manager Layla was just eating and on her phone the whole time, beware the employees/staff have a table to the side to themselves to eat and watch their phone. We got seated didn't get asked the normal how are you just got seated got our drinks pretty fast, food took 50 minutes to get there FIFTY we were really deciding on getting up and leaving but as soon as we decided to leave food got there it was cold. Horrible service ambiance was okay could definitely improve on getting just overall a whole new staff. Shoutout to the curly haired girl who actually brought us our food she wasn't our waitress but she went ahead and brought us our food. read more

And it so expensive false advertisement saying it's 6 dollars and I order an appetizer went from 6 to 50 after getting 2 appetizers

It's no wonder this location has a 2 star rating. This all falls on the General Manager of this location. A perfect example of the, tail wagging the dog, and not the dog wagging the tail. Marcus was on duty at the reception area. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted with a simple hello. The next words out of Marcus was a bit surprising and we were taken aback. He said, " we can seat you, but no one wants to serve you for 10 minutes". He sat us and, several minutes passed. We were then informed that the server in our section refused to serve us. Seconds later a Manager walks by and we asked what seems to be the problem. We were told we would not be served for 10 minutes, then the server in our section refused to serve us. The Manager simply said I'm sorry about that and stated she would serve us. She took drink orders and dropped off drinks. While this was going on we noticed 3 other groups of customers come in and sit. The Manger took out order. So then we waited and waited and yes! Waited some more. We did happen to notice that the 2 of the other groups got their drinks AAAAND FOOD, before we got ours. Now to be transparent we had a group of 5. The other 2 groups had 4 and 3 people. Sooooo we finally got our food. Not sure what happened in the kitchen and prep area for the food, however everyone in our group got sick from our stomach and well you can guess what 2 rooms in our home were occupied for most of the night. I'm sure that the day shift runs smoother than the night shift since the General Manager works that shift. However the evening Managers have ZERO control of the floor. 2 stars as a whole is horrible for any restaurant. We are locals and live in the city. This city is compact and we are overwhelmed with restaurants. In smaller cities with dense population of restaurants, restaurants can't afford to have employees like Marcus and the server that didn't want to serve us or even a Manager that won't immediately correct employees that are costing the store money. read more

Took 1 hour and half for takeout, food was cold to the touch.. people dining in who came in after me got their food first.. just poor organization and poor management. read more

Wait time and service is just horrible, I don't know if they're under staffed but everytime I come here it's just horrible. The best way they can improve is if they shut this place down. I've had better service at a McDonald's read more

Let's keep it simple!! Worst place ever worst service ever. Simple. Never coming back again. If you want to drink bring your own cup!! Apparently they don't have enough cups read more

Took us for than 15 minutes to be seated! When this place was not the busy! When we waned to order the girl refused to sell alcohol to my friend just because she did not had a California id. But she did had an id. Saying this place required a California id because they get in trouble if they accept any kind of id! Took forever to bring drinks and the foodc read more

TERRIBLE service. -1000! 0 stars. The food took over an hour to be served even though the restaurant was empty asf and the wings were so COLD!. The server never refilled any of our drinks and took so long to even come get the check from us. I'm most definitely never coming back here again!! read more

Came here to watch the Lakers VS Nuggets As I walked in I noticed the bar area was full however the tables surrounding the bar and inside the restaurant itself were all mostly EMPTY So I thought to myself OK this is gonna be a cool spot to catch a game here There are many TV placed so it looked like where ever you are seated at you can see the game Well hostess said the wait to be seated was 20-30 minutes Ummmm you clearly have tons of empty tables !!! Apparently not enough staff No one has time for that !! We left read more

If I can -1 Star "I came to Buffalo Wild Wings at 6:10 PM, hungry and ready to enjoy a meal. Instead, I was stuck waiting 59 minutes for my food. Nearly an hour for wings? Are you serious? The staff didn't apologize or explain the delay, and by the time the food finally arrived, I wasn't even hungry anymore--I was just angry and exhausted. The entire experience was a complete disaster. If this is how they treat customers, I'll never waste my time or money here again read more

Ordered an online order. We arrived on time when the food was suppose to be ready. 45 minutes of waiting in the "take out" area and still not ready. Sadly this isn't the first time. We had to wait 90 minutes one time previously, but we assumed it was just a bad day. And the food was very cold. But I guess it wasn't a bad day and just how it goes here. What are the chances our food will be hot? Won't be coming back again. Ever. Update: They forgot a whole meal! All food is cold. This place sucks! Shut it down. read more

Yikes. The service was horrible. Management needs to get more servers or help the server when they have 8+ tables and no help. The server only took our order. Never came back. We didn't get one of our sides and wanted to tell them but couldn't. We had to have to walk to another server to ask for boxes, our check, and to take off the sides. We then had to take our check to the bar to pay for our bill. Busy place... good for them, but don't expect much from this place. read more

The food was amazing! I ordered my usual 10 boneless wings with a side of veggies which the server, Caitriona (very unique name btw!), was very happy and brought everything to our table on time. She served with a positive attitude and a great smile and did ask us a few times if we needed anything which is greatly appreciated. The ambiance was great where we watched todays game Argentina vs Colombia . The bad thing here is always packed since it seems there's not a lot of servers/waiters/waitresses which can make someone very impatient at times even more so if you are VERY VERY hungry. We were told the wait was about 30-40 minutes but we got in within 20-22 minutes of waiting. I still would recommend this place. read more

These cauliflower wings are amazing! Came here with a group to watch a game and I have never been because I didn't know they had meatless options. I was very happy with the meatless wings, beer and drinks choices are great, establishment is clean and serve was good. I actually went back a week later and my son choice a few different wings which he loved read more

Service was horrible. I'm lost for words when it comes to try and explain how bad the service was today. First we walked in to pickup our order that we placed online to not get acknowledged for almost 15 mins because the girl was to busy on the phone messing up someone's order from what I heard. The worse part was when a supervisor came over to help her and didn't acknowledge our presence neither. Then to have a manager do the same made us feel like ghost. If I hadn't of paid already I would've walked out. Other people were waiting to and had the same bad service we did. Place would get zero stars if possible. Definitely this location lost us as customers after shorting our order as well. This establishment needs a refresher course on customer service. read more

Lack of common sense. They couldn't figure out how to sit a party of 10! I just can't. How hard is to move tables around. I was amazed to see how lost was the server. I was here on 7/13 from 5-6. And Alexa did an amazing job serving our table but still give a honest because of the person that was assisting tables read more

Pedro the bartender FTW. Wow. I asked for a whiskey cocktail and he provided without hesitation. Also watching him flow through the bar was too fluid. The guy knows what he's doing. Why does this place have a low rating on yelp I have no idea with this guy behind the bar. Thanks Pedro. read more

I had a really disappointing experience here. Not only was my order completely wrong, but I also had to wait much longer than expected to get it fixed. There was only an apology from the general worker. However the manager (Leyla) gave no effort, no compensation, and no acknowledgment of the inconvenience. It felt like my time and experience just didn't matter to her (Leyla) . I won't be coming back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place based on the service I received from Leyla. read more

Negative -1000 on Service. This place always has too many people waiting with many available tables. Employees always scrambling and don't know what to do. young & dumb read more

Never made it to a table. Place is half full, empty tables everywhere. 30 minute minimum wait for two people. Poor management if you can't keep enough servers to keep up with demand. read more

Food is ok. Not too good, not too terrible. But I am really pissed for the misleading advertising. We ordered Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It really looks like the price for that is 5.99 based on the advertisement on every table. But when we checked out, it turns out to be 13.79. only the classical burger is 5.99. This fake commercial should be stopped at once. They need to make it clear the 5.99 special only applies on the classical one, or they need to print the actual prices for the other three chicken sandwiches. To be fair, the manager finally gave us $5 off after we complained this. read more

Super unorganized, the waitress handed the wrong plates to almost everyone. We had to figure out whose plate belonged to who. They brought our dishes out at several different times. Food tastes like Dave n Busters fr read more

Poor service all around. The food was over cooked, almost broke my tooth on how hard the wings were fried. The fries on the other hand could have used a little more time on the stove as they were cold from the inside out but surprisingly there were some "fresher" fries as if the old and new fries were mixed together because they didn't have enough to make a serving or something. Waiters were nowhere to found at any given time. Has to waive down random workers to get service. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Place doesn't close at 1 it closes food at 12:00! Upset that manager is rude that didn't wanna let people sit at 12:15 and order. Upset with service, hours of operation not accurate. read more

Waited 30 min to be seated then ordered drinks Waited 20 more minutes no drinks we finally got up and left. The bar was full but surrounding tables were not full! Don't understand why on a Sunday this would happen. Disappointed in the service and wait time do better wild wings we won the going back ever read more

I ordered for pick up and when i arrived the worker handed me the bag and commented" I think this one is yours" as if he himself wasnt sure if it was my order or not. Didnt think anything at the moment so i left. As i arrived home i began to un bag my food and noticed my salad was missing along with a side of celery and carrots. Again didnt really mind it thats why doordash offers refunds, but this is the second time ive had items missing and the food was below average AGAIN. read more

Server took an hour and a half to bring out our order. Just for the appetizers. It was the servers birthday and she was crying in the corner while they brought her a cake in the back. Very unprofessional and I had to ask the manager for a discount for our dried out food. Manager Layela just said she would give us a discount and didn't even acknowledge her employees actions. read more

Wings seem smaller than usual and mine barely had any Buffalo sauce at all. Tots were crispy but lukewarm. One order of 6 wings and the small order of tots ended up being over $20 after a tip for the carry out crew- yikes. On the bright side-- my order was ready right on time when I arrived and I was assisted promptly. The food just wasn't worth $20 at all read more

We ordered 12:00am and they brought out our food at 12:49 and they close the place at 1:00. Marianna was talking to her friends which is why our food was so cold. My aunt's boyfriend ordered 2 beers once he was half ways he asked for the second one and the waitress said "no later". He was eventually served his second beer at 12:50 and he was not able to drink one sip and they took it away. The food was cold and had 10 minutes to eat, our waitress My mom got sick cuz of the food. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - This is my review I forgot to post it and I can no longer find it but I did take a screenshot so here it is - American Near Me - Salinas, California

Hi eat here at least three times a week. I work long hours and don't want to go home and cook. Customer service is not the best quality but today was the worst experience I've ever had anywhere walk-in to get my order the girl was on the phone she gets off the phone doesn't acknowledge our presence, Manager comes over doesn't acknowledge our presence three more employees come over don't acknowledge our presence. More people are showing up to pick up their food and not once did any of them pick up their head to say will be with you in a second, then 20 minutes later comes another employee and calls out our name for our order to get picked up. I have to say this is the worst customer service I've ever experienced which really put me in a bad mood and I will never buy food there again so three times a week I will be eating somewhere else now. read more

I had first called asking how long the wait was she said 25 to 30 we walked in and there was no wait , then we got sat down ordered our food took 45 mins (keep in mind there was only a couple of tables it was not busy ) we only got 1 10 piece of wings the 20 piece took another 25 mins the food was really cold and the waiters were just in the back laughing and eating while people needed help , the food was super cold and hard like if it was waiting in the back to get taken out , worst place I've been to with bad customer service , there was waiters all sitting in a table eating food instead of helping customers out , the table was super dirty when we got there with 2 cups on the table . When you go eat you can't even tell who's your waiter because there wearing regular clothes instead of wearing uniform . 0/10 . read more

First, they don't have enough servers. Second, I ordered a glass of wine (don't ask me why) and it came in a dirty glass, warm and tasted like the bottle had been open for a few days. I sent it back and ordered a different drink. When my food arrived my wings were lukewarm and my salad was gross. The only good thing I ate that was any good was the carrot and celery sticks. It wasn't very busy so there is obviously a lack of training and presentation which a a reflection of management. Our server was very nice and attentive but I won't be going back to that establishment again. read more
