Definitely a five star, with Michelle as the bar tender! Love the burgers here, the fries are not bad either.

I had a wonderful experience at the stadium. My huge family came here to gather before a wedding,…read moreand we were able to all fit in the patio easily. They have a great selection of beer and food. The cheese curds and chicken bacon ranch pizza were amazing. The best part of our visit was the service. The servers were constantly running around making sure we had everything we needed. Overall this is a great spot for large gatherings.

Then the bartender came in and he was dressed like he just woke up and his personality was so off putting. He had zero customer service skills, treated the servers terrible, literally wouldn't even look at them. I was there for about an hour or so and he never once greeted me while sitting at the bar directly across from him. I travel a lot and am out to eat for food and drinks multiple times a week and haven't witnessed this ever. I literally had to leave it was like being a paying patron was a bother to him. It wasn't busy either. I was so confused, if you hate your job so much find a different one. And management should really find a different face to your patrons on the bar. The name for the bartender on the ticket was James C. Do better. The venue was really nice though. I went to the other side at The Stadium side and it was the polar opposite, friendly, polite, attentive and offered food suggestions. A very pleasant experience.

First time customer…read more ​Terrible experience. Went to watch the games during happy hour as advertised 7-9. When I asked about the happy hour rate after being charged for my expensive watered down drinks. I was told 'well that's wrong' with a scowl. I paid for my 3 drinks in full while watching other patrons enjoy their happy hour special. Then I thought to try blackjack over in the corner, that looks fun. Not so much. I was doing ok after about 20 minutes of play when a dealer came into the table, I overheard him boasting about being on parole and this is his community service. I don't know if he was trying to make a joke or something. He dealt for a bit and after one of the shoes I asked him a simple question about blackjack only to be met with hostility. He said, "Why don't you find out on your phone, smart guy." Then, "F***ing idiot" under his breath. I asked "pardon" perplexed. The dealer then signalled to some visibly intoxicated 'thug' who got right in my face and the scene turned very thick for a few moments. I then cashed out my chips and left the premises. Won't be back. These goofs have earned their place on the sidelines. Warming the bench.

We were in the back bar area which was very busy! Our server/bartender, Megan, was amazing!!! She was very attentive and we never waited for our food or drinks.

It's been several years since we've been at a Buffalo Wild Wings. We gave up on them several years…read moreago due to the miniature chicken wings we were always served - plus, there were soo many better places in town that had killer wings. We always joked that with"wing"in your store name,you better have the best wings. We were in Bismarck, ND this weekend, and decided to give BWW another chance. Service was prompt out the gate. We were given drinks and menus to order with very quickly. The wings came out surprisingly bigger than we were served years ago, so that is a huge plus for Buffalo Wild Wings. Food would have gotten a 4stars. However, this location needs a true manager, or some kind of leadership to train this staff what customer service means. We were NEVER presented with a smile from any of the staff the whole time we were there. Something was wrong, maybe one or more personnel called out, and they were taking it out on their customers. Numerous times we asked for items - napkins, water, another beer - and we always thanked the bartender when they brought us the item, only to be ne with a disdainful closed mouth, and nothing in return - a very quick "you're welcome", or even "of course", would have gone miles! Even after all of that, I left a 30% tip on a $100 tab...she came by, while we were still sitting finishing our drinks mind you (which in our experience never happens - they'll always wait until the customer leaves), and snatched the signed tab and tip off the bar. NOTHING said...no "thank you folks", no, "have a good evening". I really should have left her $5...I really was a bit dumbfounded that a bartender could act that way. I understand that there may be things happening in the restaurant that is influencing the staff behavior, but that should not be deflected onto the customer. Bottom line, food was better, service/friendliness was severely lacking throughout the entire staff that we encountered. We'd most likely go elsewhere next time just due to that.
