Yikes. The reviews of this place are awful. How are they still open? Ok. My review. Food was pretty good. 2:34pm. So not too busy. Chips were awesome . Wings were large and also decent. We ended up seating ourselves just to wait and once seated in a booth we waited again. lol. Staff either are undertrained or bad moral. Might be management issue Manger ended up cashing us out and he was very friendly. Didn't talk much but he was nice. Clean place other that the bathroom. Yikes!! You guys gotta clean this. Oh. The only nice thing was the super loud music playing covering up the guy next to me. read more

25 open tables and a "at least a 30 minute wait". Can't even sit in bar and order a beer while waiting. Terrible way to do business. They could make extra money and make people happy by letting them sit in the bar area read more

I understand when companies are busy but when you seat us, then 5 tables get drinks and food after we are sat in another area we asked to be sat in, then the server walks by us at least 5-7 times and tables who don't have orders walks by and attend "that area"... wtf? I had to 1) go ask hostess about a sever-Juan, watch her go talk to him and him not come even say hello or drink order, and 2) ask bartender if we could order with her, but was declined bc she was busy and helping, understandable, 3) speaking to table about no service as server walked by & he finally asked us if he could get us anything. Wow yes. 20 min. And great quick response time-kudos!!!! Seriously I understand it was busy, maybe he was new but say so, and acknowledge the customers. Then completely disappeared he didn't check on us 1x, close us out we flagged down someone. Also saw the manager who appeared after the rush(shouldn't he have helped during the Busy rush?! Not show up at the end?! And the slacker was seen hanging out instead of closing us out) BWW. Horrible read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. My friend and I came in when the restaurant was nearly empty. Alexis told us she'd be right back, but she never returned. Eventually, after about 25 minutes, another server came to take our order. Throughout our visit, we were never given napkins, we had to ask for them ourselves. After our food was served, no one checked on us to see if we needed anything, ask about refills, or make sure everything was okay. We also ordered dessert, and we never got it. Decided to cancel it and get our check. The lack of attention and customer service from start to finish was disappointing, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. Unfortunately, this was a very poor experience, and I won't be returning. read more

Today is Sunday and I figured I would grab a quick bite to eat and a beer before hitting the golf course. I showed up at 10:58 not knowing what time they opened. I walked in and it was evident they were not open. The one employee and up to me and told me I can come in but there are no servers or bartenders and that they open at 11 which I responded, so in 2 minutes, his response was yah I guess threw his arms up and walked away, lol. So I went to Dicks and went shopping. I came back 15 minutes later and the place had life! The bartender, Jamiebel, was super friendly and totally made up for my initial impression. I had the new Kings Hawaiian sliders which were delicious!! I love the face they have every sport on at the same time. There's golf, basketball, basketball and tennis on one of the many TVs. read more

From my child : I think it is a very good place and I'll give it a five star rated - because it's the cake is really good (he did choose this place for his birthday, therefore receiving birthday cake) He also mentioned the wings are his favorite !!! And they have so many different flavors!! There's about 642 different TVs in here, playing every different type of sport possible!! The service is definitely hit or miss depending on the server, but the food is delicious. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Santa Maria, California

My partner and I went the other day and I will say our server Yesenia was attentive and good at her job. This was the first time I've ever had good service as all the other times I've been ignored for long periods of time. Our drinks were good and we got the chips and dip trio for an appetizer which was good. However I have to rate it 1 star as I got 6 honey bbq wings and only ended up eating 3 as something about the texture wasn't feeling right to me. My partner got the combo with bone in and boneless wings with buffalo and garlic Parmesan and ate most of it but shortly before we were going to leave he started feeling gross and ended up having to rush to the bathroom to throw up. He ended up having food poisoning and the only conclusion we can both come to is that it was something from this restaurant. read more

I really hope management takes this review seriously, because this location has some significant issues that need to be addressed. I've been to other locations of this chain and haven't had the same experience, so I want to make it clear that my concerns are specifically with this location. The service has consistently been disappointing. Orders have been incorrect, food has taken too long, and when the food does arrive, it's often cold or poorly seasoned. These aren't small issues when you're paying for a meal and expecting the basic level of service and quality associated with the brand. I think this location needs to take a serious look at order accuracy, food quality/temperature, and customer service. Better attention to those areas could make a huge difference. I would genuinely like to see this location improve because I know the chain is capable of providing a much better experience at other locations. read more

This is my first bad experience here. First, arrived and was told we had a 30 min wait, which was fine! My husband went to check in and was told "it's only been 28 mins." Two mins later we were called to our table. Waitress (Alicia) took our drink order, good start. Our food order was taken and started coming out in spurts. Server dropped food down my son's back, a clear accident but not once did a manager come over and apologize. Food was given to the wrong guest, when we announced the mishap, food was brought out after being "re-fired" food was not recooked! It was freezing cold, my granddaughter never got her food. Not once were we offered refills or if our food was okay. I get being overwhelmed and over worked, but where are the standards. When asked for boxes, Alicia decides to hand a box to a guest right across his face. No excuse me, no nothing. Common sense, respect and courtesy are not hard traits to display as a server. Do better! read more

This star rating is intended for the overall quality of the business, not our server. On the evening of 09/04/2025, me and my wife decided to dine in at Buffalo Wild Wings as a reward for getting the keys to her new apartment and soon beginning school. While looking for places to enjoy a drink with food on Yelp, we stumbled across B Dubs. After looking at the reviews, we were pretty set in stone with not going there. This was based off the negative reviews on Yelp and many were directed toward the poor service from staff members; However, when we walked in, the Eagles Vs Cowboys game was on and so was the Dodgers game (we got swept by Pittsburgh...) and it was pretty live inside. We waited approximately 20 minutes before being seated and were greeted by our server, Natalia, who was very fast and polite. The food came out quick, and well, it's B Dubs, so the wings were good IMO, everything else was mid. The beer on tap was good and my wife enjoyed the mixed cocktails. Natalia, thank you for your hospitality and this was a reminder, never go solely off the reviews or be quick to make judgements. Check the place out and see for yourself, everyone's experience is different. read more

Stopped in for lunch several days ago. Ordered the Cheesburger Lunch Special . Which comes with Fries and a drink. It was very good! Two patties of hamburger, cheese, lettuce, tomato , pickles and finely chopped suateed onions. It was quite filling. If you are not that hungry, you could share the sandwich! ** Was there around 12 pm. Not overly busy! Service great! read more

Tv and beer is hard to mess up. So 10/10 for that. Food was ok. But let's be honest, you come here to watch the game, eat, drink, and not have to clean. My low stars is because of the way they split our group of 8 up. Ended up making us sit in two groups of four. Also had to ask for silverware and napkins only to be given 2 forks for the whole table. We asked for waters at least twice. Never got them. Lastly we had to ask to get our plates taken away because they were sitting so long As far as improvements, just better service. When people sit. Napkins and waters are a must all around. Anyways, I won't be back unless I'm just trying to get an app and beer. read more

We ordered to go for 6 people last week and no one was happy with their order. 2 people ordered the grilled chicken dippers and got fries with small bits of grilled chicken, nothing close to something you would "dip" and they were over $16 for three pieces!!! I got the grilled chicken sandwich which had way more chicken than the dippers for a little over $10, it was meh. Two family members remember loving BWW burgers but they definitely weren't like they remembered. We were soooo dissapointed, $100 for the 6 of us, and that was without drinks or anything extra. We will never be back. Wish I would have taken pictures! read more

1. Food takes WAY too long to get to the table. 2. The beer is not cold enough. 3. It's WAY too noisy. It's difficult to talk to the servers. 4. The food doesn't taste bad but it's not much different than what I'd get at my school cafeteria. Bare minimum on the spicy chicken sandwich and the new tater tot appetizer is a hard pass. How can you mess up tater tots? Over cooked. Our server tried really hard to make our experience nice but the listed items above were out of her control. She can't be responsible for a poorly run site. read more

Amazing for watching a game! We watched the England Norway FIFA game there. Everything was great!!

I drove 4 hours to visit family from Anaheim. I was extremely tired. Front host told me 15 min. Because I was closing my eyes the manager said she cannot serve us alcohol because I was closing my eyes and was falling asleep while waiting. I said that's totally fine. She then sat the people that just walked in. She made it very clear that she did not want to serve us because she thought I was drunk. Terrible service. Trash service trash manager she literally assumed I was drunk. Don't come here. Go to Jack in the box. It'll be cheaper anyways. Congrats manager you earned a bad rating for you and your team mate read more

Went in to get a to go order, and was waiting so long that I ended up just walking out, I made eye contact with at least two or three workers, and was not even acknowledged or even told " hey excuse the wait ,will be right there" nothing read more

$28 for FIFTEEN WINGS! What a joke! The service was mid. The waitress literally slid/tossed the food on the table. The manager just walked around and did not engage with the customers. The real disappointment came when we got our wings that were cold and super dry. They were not good at all. What a waste of money. We only reason we ate this is because we were starving. We had been out all day with errands. There are much better food options in Santa Maria for this price. Literally could've bought three packs of fresh chicken and made my own food for this price. read more

I really don't understand why the bathrooms in restaurants are so bad. This particular restaurant bathrooms are worse than some middle of nowhere Gas station bathroom. I can't help but think the kitchen where they prepare The food is similar. So sad because other than that, it could be a great place. I would post a picture, but it would not do the smell justice. read more

Keke the manager super disrespectful worse people I have ran into at Buffalo Wild Wings I have been coming here sense it opened and have had an issue until she started working here I actually stated choosing a new place to go because I don't want to run into her besides her eveyone has always been super amazing read more

The waitress was rude never came to take our order she slide tossed or shoved our drink.. Not sure how to describe.. And tossed our appetizer on table as she walked by.. The manager the one who seated us started out the order which she never finished getting.. we sat for a half hour before we decided to go to Denny's.. Spoke with the manager which he was apologetic and discounted our tab.. But she was rude and unprofessional..She should feel lucky she has a her job... read more

usually don't leave negative reviews, but my experience with Yesenia as our server was really disappointing. From the moment we sat down, she seemed uninterested and distracted. She barely checked on our table, got part of our order wrong, and didn't offer any apology when we pointed it out. It felt like we were bothering her just by being there. What made it worse was the attitude -- no smile, no courtesy, just a rushed and dismissive tone throughout the meal. We waited way too long for simple things like water refills or even getting the check. It's unfortunate because the rest of the staff seemed friendly, but Yesenia's service really brought the whole experience down. I hope the management addresses this, because good service makes all the difference -- and sadly, we didn't get that here. read more

I had a horrible experience with one of the servers here me and my boyfriend waited 5 minutes for a booth when they were all empty that's the first thing then right when we sit down she proceeded to ask my boyfriend if she seen him at a bar and looked familiar which was very inappropriate mind you that's not true and we're not from Santa Maria. Then we order my boyfriend's food comes out Mine took 20 minutes, I only got a six piece boneless. She then gave us no forks or napkins and rudely threw the straw down on the table. She takes my drink right off the table without asking me anything and comes back with it refilled my drink wasn't even half gone the service was absolutely terrible also she looked very unkept hair just a mess. The food is also not the greatest for $70 is absolutely outrageous wings were not tossed looks like they just dumped seasoning on them and called it a day. Onion rings were soggy over all the food isn't the greatest and the service is crap and ghetto. read more

We come here like once a week for lunch. $12 for a meal is their burgers are better than McDonald's. Christian is usually our server and he's always fantastic...he even usually remembers our order! We haven't been disappointed at all. Food comes quick and never any issues. read more

Service. Party of 4 went in on a Sat night, walked out after waiting for 10-15 minutes for a table. No one else waiting. Was told holding tables for others. This location that we are aware of doesn't have reservations. Others walked in would see friends and staff accomated them to seat at empty tables and push them together. Could tell surprised to see each other. There were plenty of tables in the bar area where we requested to be seated and told no. Manager running around with Ipad and not once inquired why we were waiting. It was clear we only ones in the lobby. We were finally told it would be another 5 minutes to be seated and another 5 before a waitress could help us. We don't visit often and this clearly reminds us why. read more

Awful experience. Staff is a joke, rude, slow and inattentive. Go elsewhere. Too bad because I like the chicken wings.

Went in to eat with my friends and the first thing I noticed was all the staff members looked like they hated their job. No friendly smiles no "welcome to Buffalo Wild Wings". Then our server, I think her name was Ashley, she had a lot of face piercings, was not personable at all. Again no smiles, didn't engage in conversation just asked our orders and took forever to get it out. The fries were cold, and she didn't offer any refills, couldn't ask for refills because she didn't come back to the table much. Mind you it wasn't that busy at all. Then when she dropped the checks off there wasn't even a "thank you for coming in" she just dropped the checks off and said nothing. Usually I'm so understanding because I work in the service industry myself but that was horrible service. I also never do yelp reviews but I had to do because the service was THAT BAD. If it were up to me I would've tipped zero but my husband is to nice. read more

Just left Buffalo WW. So disappointed. It took us 30 minutes to be seated when there was plenty of booths available. We ordered our food it came 10 minutes apart by the time the last of us got our food our kids were done eating. Our drinks were also taking for ever and I don't mean alcoholic beverages. Food was a bit salty; We may not be going back. I must say though. We left our son forgot his Switch and they called us before I could dial their number. That's a perk! Went to pick it up and it was just on the podium. Made contact with several employees and none came to assist. Needless to say I grabbed however anyone could have just grabbed it. Perk revoked.! read more

I like me a juicy wing, with optional flavors and sports on TVs. The santa maria first off just lags. I don't know if it's short staffed but overall experience was just taking longer than usual. Just ranting over the slow service read more

Super rude manager that ruined my experience honestly. I have a party of 7 and he told me if half are here we can sit you, 3 of us were here and then he said "well now I need your entire party here :)" with a super rude sarcastic attitude. Food wise it's the same at any buffalo spot not the best but that manager really ruined our experience with his attitude. To add on top they don't have rumplemintz. read more

first of all Both of the two times I have ordered food to go it has been so inedible my pets wouldn't even eat it. NOT to mention who the hell is going to pay a $17 delivery fee for an $18 sandwich that is most likely a five minute meal. This is shit and something has to change. I'd rather buy a full equally nutritious meal from a rundown gas station. read more

The only reason why I'm giving this review a 5 star is because of Jorge. Not because of the food and sure as heck it isn't the quickness of getting a table. Jorge demonstrates the best service and does it with hospitality. I commented him on the gentlemen that he is and said your mama raised you RIGHT! Jorge is friendly and excellent customer service! The upper management im not to impressed with but it is Buffalo wild wings. Thanks Jorge the service with a smile! read more

Used to be good, but has seriously gone downhill! Asked for wings cooking lightly they were dry and hard with hardly any sauce! After sending them back to be recooked the way we like them they were so HOT could barely eat them, I think the cook wasn't happy we sent old already wings made that had been sitting there. Manager was condescending and gave lame excuses. Will not be back. We had to ask for carrots and celery they said they no longer gave them unless we ask. You have to ask for everything! I will just cook my own wings with everything I want and it will be A-LOT and no lame excuses with a whole lotta attitude on the side that I didn't order. read more

I'm not sure why this place has 2 stars, but they still serve decent wings. I've always been a fan of BWW. They get a huge plus for opening until 2:00am on a Saturday. read more

This restaurant's rating is back up to 5 stars for us for one reason: our server Allie! She went above and beyond to ensure that my wife and I got to sit in the outdoor dining area with our pup and enjoy the nighttime ambiance along with the beautiful weather that night! Allie served our food order PERFECTLY with absolutely no problems or issues. It was also served hot and tasted amazing! For the past year and a half, our service at this store has been questionable whenever Allie was NOT waiting on us. Some employees were unwilling to serve us outside despite business being slow on those days. Allie is undoubtedly their best and sharpest employee who sets the highest standard for everyone and is one OUTSTANDING asset to the franchise and company at every level! read more

I visited with a group of friends and ordered a double shot, but it seemed more like a single and was quite expensive. I politely asked the waiter if it was the right size for the price, and he spoke to the manager. When he came back, he told us we could either go to the bar to check or leave. This was a huge letdown, especially since we were being respectful. We decided to pay the tab and leave. The service was terrible, and the manager didn't even come to talk to us--he had the waiter deliver the message, which felt unprofessional. Because of this, we won't be coming back. We'll stick to places like Applebee's or Red Robin, where we know the service will be better. read more

Probably won't return for a while, I was super grossed out after my wings came out like this. Server was super busy, there was a game going on so you can imagine, I didn't say anything because we were waiting for a while. We waited a while for our drink refills. read more
