First time at this location and it was 10/10. Went during a slow time around 4pm. Got sat right away. Drinks came out fast. Food came out hot and ready. Music was bumpin and sports were playing like always. Honestly no complaints. Our server Chris was very attentive. Drinks never went empty and he did a good job at consistently checking on us without being annoying. Honestly with all the BWW's I've been to it's been normal to have slow and bad service. This was a pleasant surprise. read more

My recent visit to Buffalo Wild Wings during happy hour was unfortunately a bit of a mixed experience. When I arrived, the restaurant was not very busy, yet it took about 15 minutes before anyone came to take my drink order. I noticed several staff members gathered in groups while only a few appeared to be actively tending to tables. Kevin was my server, and he was genuinely polite and apologetic throughout the visit. However, it seemed like he may have been assigned too many tables spread across the dining area, which likely contributed to the delays in service as the happy hour crowd gradually started filtering in. I ordered a dip appetizer that arrived topped with bacon pieces, something I wasn't aware came with the dish. I politely asked if it could be remade, and Kevin handled the situation kindly and professionally without hesitation. Shortly afterward, my wings arrived. Presentation-wise, they looked great and were nicely coated in sauce, but unfortunately the wings themselves were barely warm when I bit into them. Since I had already sent one item back, I honestly felt awkward asking for the wings to be remade as well. After finishing my meal, I waited quite a while for a refill, a check-in, or even the opportunity to ask for my tab. Since I was dining alone, I didn't want to simply leave the table unattended, but eventually I had to walk to the front to cash out. Michelle, who I believe may have been the manager, stepped in and was very helpful during checkout. I had overheard another guest being told the restaurant was not participating in the Nurses Week discount, but Michelle kindly clarified that they actually were honoring it. As a nurse, I appreciated that gesture and was relieved not to pay full price for what felt like a fairly mediocre dining experience overall. I do think there is room for improvement when it comes to customer service and floor management at this location. Kevin himself was pleasant, but whether due to being new or simply spread too thin, the service experience suffered from long wait times and lack of attentiveness. That can become frustrating for customers who are waiting on food, refills, or simply trying to check out. While this visit was a miss for me personally, I won't hold one experience against the entire chain. This Mission Valley location likely sees a high volume of customers, so service may vary depending on timing and staffing. If you're craving wings and don't mind a little unpredictability with the experience, this location may still work for you. read more

MARCH 29, 2026 One star and it has nothing to do with the food or the drinks. I sat in the bar at (not the bar but the high tables) I sat for a good 20-25 minutes and no staff came for my order. So I left. I've experienced issues in the past. Often someone's shift will end and they force us to pay. But then a replacement server never comes by. read more

Got a table for two and was seated quickly however no one came to wait our table we waited over 20 minutes and no one came to ask us what we wanted to drink or order, no apologies or any communication at all with us. There were a few customers who came in after us and got waited within minutes. There would be more grace if it was busy however it was not busy and there were multiple workers walking by without any sense of urgency. We left after 30 minutes of waiting. We love buffalo wild wings but we will not be returning back again. read more

Below average experience at Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm not much of a chain eater, and I haven't been here in many years and I realized why. Food was sub par, and extremely overpriced. The service was fast, drinks were fast and our waitress was good. It was busy on and off, Games on so many screens which makes the place read more

Hmmm reviews are not terrific here but wanted bar food before a movie and I thought this place was good enough. I ordered the Sampler Appetizer and the Mozzarella Sticks, Buffalo Wings, Pretzel Bites with their sauces delivered. Onion Rings could improve. My friend thought the Lemon Pepper was dry, the fries meh but he did enjoy the Patty Melt Smashed Burger. We did like the ambience and the service was good. I would come again if I'm in the mood for bar type food and would order their Buffalo Wings. read more

Much hast changed with the speed of service at this place ordered my food before opening. Wasn't ready on time I had another extra ten min wait after being 5 mins late. Got the boneless wings they are salty and hard and a chicken Philly beer cheese sandwhich also not great really had no flavor but cheese no onion taste or bell peppers and the bread felt like a hotdog bun. I went here because I had a reward deal of spen 15 dollars and get a free sandwich, the fries were ok so there's that and the carrots and celery were cool. It just open and had 2 guest and me just so you can see how busy they were. I guess eat in and you food will come out at a reasonable time. read more

First timer here! I was surprised to see that there were more than just wings on the menu, and I'm more of a chicken strip girlie than anything, so that's what I ended up ordering. They were fine. We also ordered an appetizer platter thing that had mozzarella sticks, onion rings, pretzel bun things, and fried pickles. Everything was fine. It's what you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Like nothing was soooooo amazing, but it definitely wasn't horrible. Everything was just "fine" food wise. There are other things to brag about though, like the cleanliness of the restaurant was good, the attentiveness of our server, the fact that there's such a big parking lot. I also like that they had a variety of sauces to choose from. It's the kind of place where I'll go if someone invites me, but I probably wouldn't offer it as a suggestion on my own. read more

I haven't been here in months because the last time we came service was so slow it took us an hour and 15 minutes just to get our wings. This time we sat down and wasn't greeted once since we sat down after 15 minutes. I wasn't going to go through the hassle of waiting for everything to come out and miss my movie. So we went to yardhouse in the same mall. Got service right away and our food came out before we even got a hi at Buffalo Wild Wings. I love the wings, but service is so bad I won't be going back. read more

We came to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner around 4:20 pm, and the restaurant was fairly empty, yet the service was extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes before anyone took our order, and we didn't receive our food until around 5:10 pm. Our server, Danny, was very polite and clearly doing his best, but he was completely alone and overwhelmed, attending to around 10 tables by himself. He kept apologizing, and it was obvious he had no help. We were dining with our 18-month-old, who was very hungry and became upset, and we seriously debated leaving. Several tables around us did leave after waiting 20+ minutes without being attended to. When the food finally arrived, it was cold, and the food itself was only okay. A different server brought it out, and when I asked her for a sauce that was supposed to come with my meal, she said she'd bring it but never did. We also never received drink refills. After finishing our meal, it took another 20 minutes just to receive the bill. Overall, this was a disappointing experience due to severe understaffing, slow service, and lack of follow-through. read more

I went to this location once and the food was great! The wings were nice and toasted with the perfect sauce on them. My favorite were the onion rings that were nice and fried! read more

You can never go wrong with good chicken wings, beer and friends when watching your favorite game. This bww is probably my favorite since it's a central location with lots of parking. It's always packed since they have so many tv screens. My favorite flavors: Lemon pepper Parmesan garlic Daytona read more

I'd only been to a BWW once before and it was in the Palm Springs area. I remember it not being very impressive and since then I've never had a desire to go to any other location. I mean, I wasn't against it, but I wasn't going to seek it out either. Well, after making my second visit, this time at the Mission Valley location, I still will not be seeking BWW out. Seriously, how does this place make enough money to keep their big ass locations open? The wings, the food item that they hang their hat on, their bread and butter, are so very average. The sauces are nothing to write home about and I even had to ask if my spicy garlic was in fact the spicy garlic that I ordered. It tasted like a vinegar based buffalo sauce with not garlic in it at all. The prices are about 1/3 too high and you may be high too if you're coming here on the reg. Hit the mom and pops, the wings are better and so are the vibes. read more

Walked in for lunch. Sat ourselves in the bar; party of 2. Bartender didn't acknowledge, I wasn't sure there was other wait staff. After about 15 min our server (didn't introduce himself?) took our drink order and brought us menus. Waited 20min with an empty drink before we got the waiters attention and let him know to make our orders to go. 40min in we got our food, which was cold. He brought a check and disappeared, maybe our fault for not requesting 2 checks, but he didn't ask. Took our food and left. Granted we walked all the way back to work so its a good 5min but the food was cold. Fingers were skimpy. Sauces were plentifulservice and drinks and quality were not. read more

This is an impressively large BWW and the food is on par with other locations. Even though they seem adequately staffed, the service is slow and unorganized. The staff doesn't work together and no one is coordinating things. If you can look past the lackluster service, you might want to give this place a try anyway. read more

Horrific! Worst service I've ever had! Waited over an hour for wings bartender had largely ignored me for over an hour sitting at the bar. other people were getting their food. I finally asked the bartender blonde female, where my food was. She said she would check. I had to have the other bartender go find her after 10 minutes. She eventually came back 10 minutes later and said that I could wait because they had to finally put in my order because they forgot. By this time I had had three beers I told them no thanks. I didn't even get comped for my beers. Asked to speak to the manager as I walked out. she seemed bothered that I even asked to talk to her. Manager said there was nothing she could do. Second time In my life I left a zero tip. Literally go anywhere else besides this dump. Better service at Yardhouse. read more

First of all the TVs were SO loud. Never had this experience before. I even moved tables and it helped a little and they were nice about it. Ordered nachos and they were dry, burnt and almost no toppings. My nice waitress brought over some cold queso so she tried. read more

Got sat at a 3 hightop with a couple friends in hopes to enjoy some food and watch the Timberwolves vs Spurs game. We were looking at the menu for a few minutes, and figured out what we wanted. Yet, we were sitting there for 40-50 minutes, and not one server came up to us to ask for a drink order or even bring us waters. Multiple servers walked past us , and even looked at my friend while he was raising his hand then completely ignored him. We were ignored the whole time, and when a server walked by our table its almost as if they purposefully looked away to not take our order. We get that they can be backed up, and I'm usually an understanding guest at any restaurant. This was outright ridiculous. Horrible experience. read more

Placed an online order 3/16. Picked up - the person getting our order asked if I wanted ketchup, added to the condiment bag. I said yes. There was no ketchup in the bag when we got home. I ordered the honey barbecue chicken salad. I requested no croutons and no bacon. They left off the cheese. There was no lime. They basically cut open a bag of pre-cut lettuce dumped it in their cardboard to go box and dumped some grilled chicken on top of it. A $17 salad... quite disappointing. We were also short one order of french fries. I was treating my son and his family to dinner since he works so hard. I was so disappointed with this meal. $90 I feel was a waste. I wish I did take a picture of the salad last night. It was pitiful. read more

Tamara was the sweetest and most attentive server. She answered all of our many questions and was so patient. Great service and gave a great experience. read more

From the start, the service felt overwhelmed and inexperienced, especially for handling a larger party . The "bottomless" chips were anything but--served once with barely any follow-up. The cheese sauce came in a paper like 7-11 that felt more like cafeteria fare, and the salsa tasted store-bought, like something straight off the shelf from Smart & Final. Our food arrived poorly presented, the sauces haphazardly thrown on like an afterthought. The wings were tiny and poor quality seemingly over cooked . Even when the manager came out, she seemed pleasant but couldn't elevate the experience--especially disappointing considering it was my birthday. I received my box brownie and a spoonful ice cream, which was decent, but no candle?. To top all that, our table wasn't bused the entire night.so we ate bones and empty glass on the table the entire night. Overall, a very underwhelming experience. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Absolutely the worst service in staff - twice we've had issues with our pick up orders. First being they gave us the wrong order and the second time they gave someone else our order... 2 very different times and when we called they said they'd get us our order and took over an hour so we had to leave... the staff was awful in helping, it wasn't crowded or busy on a weekday evening. I wish I could give them 0 stars for such a bad experience. read more

I came in with my boyfriend and our 3 kids and it wasnt busy too much . We all ordered out food at the same time .... But for some reason everyone at my table got their food except me .. alll i ordered was a burger and my son did too but his came out ... as their finishing their food i still DONT have mine . My boyfriend proceeds to order desert as him and the kids are finishing their meals and i still dont have my food . So i ask the waiter as she stands there while my bf is ordering desert and ask for her to check on my plate ... The amount of ANGER i felt is undescribable .. i no longer wanted food . I was at the point of just asking not to have it CANCEL THE WHOLE ORDER. This place was a disappointment to say the least . I wud never return to this location. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

In summary, save your coin and go somewhere else if you want chicken wings! The queso was good but it wasnt hot at all when it came out and I wished they gave us a little bit more because by the time we finished it we still had a ton of chips leftover. If you do come here, absolutely DO NOT get the boneless wings. It was so dry and inedible. They barely coated the chicken in the sauce. Overall just a really disappointing experience for me. It took forever to get our food, the food wasn't good, and on top of that it was expensive. I would much prefer to go to Epic Wings or wingstop as the quality of their wings are much better! Service was ok. They were severely understaffed on a Sunday night. Lots of tables that needed to be bussed. read more

Where are the employees? I've been standing here for like 10 min trying to get my food. Update: my food was supposed to be ready at 5:40, it's 6:14 and my food is nowhere to be found. This place always takes forever, even when dining in you're waiting forever. Idk if they need more employees or better management. JUST GOT HOME: I paid for extra ranch and they only gave me one ... for 20 wings and fries. F this place read more

I used to come here all the time and enjoy wings and football games. The wings used to be really good. I'm always trying to give this place another chance but recently when I ordered a 20 count of wings they came out cold. I tried to ignore it and just eat understanding they are just busy maybe. Then I bite into it and they are dry.... I let the server know that they were cold and she offered to warm them back up but I was so hungry I was like no that's fine but cmon now this shouldn't be happening. Then as I'm eating my wings I notice that all 20 of them are wings with not a single flat lmao And to top it off she came back and dropped me off the check mid meal . Not sure if that was a Q to leave but that's exactly what I did. Cold and dry wings with not a single flat on a 20 count is mind blowing read more

I came in with 5 people, I ordered what I wanted plus a size of Mac n cheese...never received it. Later on 2 people of a table of 5 get there food and they ended up finishing there food before the other three got it. And when it came out the wings were cold, my order of Mac chz never came. Our server Brooke didn't come by until the very end of our meal. And to make it worse I had to call her down because she never came. I asked for a to go box that never came I had to remind her. I am a server and if I knew the kitchen was backed up I would have told my table and apologize for the inconvenience. But no our sever didn't telll us anything not even that our other food was going to take long. I find it unprofessional because it was also just me and another table there. I would've understood if it was packed. Will not recommend. read more

Food was pretty good. I got the sampler platter which you really can't go wrong with. A plate full of fried food always tastes delish. Good for the soul, bad for the bod! Our server was great despite us having a large table of guys ordering the whole menu essentially. read more

This is a very good location of BWW! I ordered 10 flats with medium spice level, a side of onion rings, and some ranch along with their golden fire sauce for dipping. Overall, it was great! The wings were crispy, juicy, and tasted amazing dipped in the golden fire sauce, which was sweet, a little tangy, and packed a delicious fiery punch. Of course, the ranch was good too. However, the onion rings came out of left field for me! I wasn't expecting anything more than average onion rings, but these were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tasted great. The service was also very good, and the restaurant was clean, proving their staff actually care about the customer experience which is always nice to see. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - My dog when he sees a tennis ball reacts the same way I do when I see Buffalo Wild Wings on the table. lol - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Not the worst. Not the best. Could have some improvement. There was a UFC fight going on but went there for normal dining. Got put out on the patio which is ok but service took awhile. A friend went to go get staff for us. Ordered some appetizers, chips with guac and chips with chili cheese. Pretty good but again took awhile to come out. Our table had different wings and most of it was good but some of the saucey wings were a bit "dry". The maple chipotle flavor was great! Our server was great and helpful and did come back to check on us so appreciated that helping the experience. Not sure I would come again because it was just ok. read more

One of my students suggested we go here. I had never been so I thought, why not. It's loud when you walk in. Someone came and gave us a table near the bathrooms since it was near the t.v. that had a soccer game on, that one of my other students wanted to watch. A young woman came and took our drink order. "Dang, did they have to go pick strawberries for my lemonade?" LOL! She also told me the QR code was on the table and when we were ready, I could order from there. So I opened the app, we ordered wings, which was odd because it asks for which sauces to add and I thought they were going to come on the side, but half tossed in one, half in the other, which was fine. And they were just wings and the sauces were good. For 20 wings, the celery sticks were minimal. Ordered a large french fries, thin and crispy, which were good. I also ordered the mozzarella sticks which were pretty standard. The food runner passed our table with our order, then went to find the server who told her where to go. The young woman who got our drinks, checked in with us which was nice, and she was friendly, but I'm an old school former food server. If I'm coming to a restaurant, someone needs to serve me. Before I could send in the order, I had to enter all this information and my credit card. So what I want to know is where do I fill out my W2 because I basically did half the work. And then there's the audacity of having 18%, 20%, 25% as your choices for gratuity. I base gratuity on service and there was no rapport developed with anyone. Luckily there's "custom" and I left 15%. Would've left 10% cause I felt I was just at a glorified fast food establishment, but not sure who it was going to get it and well, our server was nice. The only consolation of being near the restrooms was we could wash our hands. They seriously should not have tables near them. I doubt I'll ever come back. read more

Been along time seen I've done in at BWW. They have QR codes at the table you can order from your phone or with the server. It was BOGO Tuesday but you have to activate the offer on your account through the app to receive the deal. I ordered the BOGO 10 wings (20 total) with your choice of 2 sauce. It was also happy hour so I got tater tots, onions rings and fried pickles! The food came out pretty quick and the server was very attentive. read more

The boneless wings deal has always been around and is a decent meal for the price. I usually get 6 wings and the deal gets you 12. I ordered honey bbq and Nashville hot for my two flavors. My chicken was cold which I was confused on because I took only a couple minutes before I ate, but again, not expecting too much. Other than that, we ordered wedges with melted shredded cheese and it was well seasoned and crispy! For a chain establishment, I'm not expecting anything besides decent food. It will take a minute for you to wait for your server here. I think the QR codes on the tables are supposed to help with the ordering, but wait times for the check and extra utensils/boxes took the longest. Our server was very chill and did try to check up on us at certain times! read more

You have GOT to come here with a party of 6 or more! Jesus this place is genius if you treat the service like part of the experience. Everybody will get their food randomly throughout the evening while your stoned waiter stares at his iPad like a DMT trip is about to suck him through the screen. For god's sake place your order all at once and watch the fireworks! Want spicy wings with a certain dressing and a side of fries?!?! Whoa whoa there cowboy! We need to delve into the eye of Gozar the Destroyer of Worlds and cite the ritual of liquid clockwork gnomes where we shall dance on the OH MY GOD you should come here high and hell with your best friends and just watch the show!!! Enjoy the diarrhea in the bathrooms with the ultra savy bathroom sinks where it's impossible to not get soap, water and reach for a paper towel all at once... you can NOT leave this bathroom with dry hands... a true marvel of engineering!! When you order wings, don't bother asking for napkins with your meal! Just get up and go get your own! You're more than welcome in the waiter area, they couldn't care less! Keep in mind your waiter will only work at this location for a day, day and a half TOPS so the experience is always changing. Foods not bad so grab your closest witty friends and tip your waiter waaayyyy over the top for their performance! read more

Whole entire experience was not what I expected my first time going to Buffalo Wild Wings was going to be like. I've heard good things bout this place but I'll definitely not be spending my time or money going back. We got our food to go and the fries were so fried the tasted like cardboard. We only received one fork for three orders. I ordered a Caesar salad and only had one dressing and the chicken was way over seasoned. We were not offered any recommendations to make any of our order as a meal or combo. Not to mention we got upcharged for a large ranch dressing. The gentleman that was working the register had no customer Service skills and had the nerve to ask us to do a survey for a complementary drink when he didn't even offer us drinks with our initial order. It's not like it was busy or anything. Place was slow and really quiet. $80 just gone to waste read more
