**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Buffalo Wild Wings (a.k.a. B-Dubs which I will shorthand Buffalo Wild Wings to for the remainder of this review) is currently a sports bar establishment... well... pertaining to those that are "corporate." B-Dubs has been in its current location for more than a decade. Through its time, I have been to B-Dubs simply for the food, but mostly to watch football games, MMA fights, and wrestling PPVs. Yes, there is a lot of history when it comes to my time spent at B-Dubs, but unfortunately with so much time spent, I can say that over the years, B-Dubs has progressively gotten worse. Every now and then, they have a favorable spike in their quality, but overall, it is like New Found Glory: All Downhill From Here! Though an address is provided, B-Dubs has been in the same place it has always been: the northeast quadrant of Palm Bay Rd. and Norfolk Pkwy. If it helps, it is a standalone building within the Hammock Landing plaza right next to El Pollo Tropical. On the outside, B-Dubs looks like almost all other B-Dubs looks like: a sports bar with both indoor and outdoor seating. Upon entering, you get the overstylization of a local sports bar with sports paraphenelia plastered on the walls. Depending on the locale, certain teams will be highlighted more so than others. For this B-Dubs, we hafe more Florida teams such as Gators, Seminoles, Dolphins, Buccaneers, and Jaguars. We even have Magic and Heat, too. In its heyday, the seating was a-okay, but you can definitely feel that some of those booths' cushions need a recharge. After more than hour, I can tell you my tailbone was starting to hurt me. As for the food, it is... okay... too. Maybe back in the day, my taste buds were not so mature and I didn't mind food that was too salty, too hot, too bland, too covered with too much flavor to hide the bland taste. But now, I can tell. Sometimes the cooks get it right, but overall, it is just forced peddled bar food. As a matter of fact, the last thing I ate from them were street tacos. Overall, they were okay, but it should not be too hard to mess up street tacos, right? Well... I did get messed up street tacos before, but fortunately for B-Dubs, they did not mess up. Not the quality like a real Mexican restaurant makes or even Taco Dive, but okay. The wings are still poorly cooked, as in overcooked and dry, something they probably hoped I would not notice with all the sauce they use. And as for the restrooms, still a travesty whenever I step into them. At least that every single time I went, our wait staff has always been kind. Maybe at times they are stretched thin and they can't be as attentive as they want to, but they are always kind. Ultimately, I purposely avoid eating at B-Dubs as of late. However, my friends during my Bible Study might want to go there simply because it is an easy-peasy place to eat and enjoy communion with others in the group. Outside of that, there are far better options for whatever it is B-Dubs has to offer. Miller's Ale House and Hooters does a better job with the sports bar theme, Frankie's and Wing Stop have better wings, and so on and so forth.

Westside Sports Bar & Lounge- West Melbourne, FL 4.5 Stars…read more "Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch." - Orson Welles Glancing down at my name generator, I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. I was headed to West Melbourne to check out Westside Sports Bar & Lunge. I was chuckling as in my mind it's still the 80s and West Melbourne is a wasteland, not the teeming metropolis it is today. Shaking my head, I headed OTB. I love my sleepy little island community, but even I had to admit that the Melbourne Metropolitan Area has grown leaps and bounds and I like it. More businesses are moving in and that means, yep, you guessed it, more eating establishments. To that end, I pulled into the lot of Westside Sports Bar & Lounge, parked and went about the business of providing the working public with unsullied food reviews. I was greeted warmly upon entering a lovely lady who introduced herself as Mandy. Mandy is my bartender, waitress and cook today and she has to be the most non-oleaginous person I have met wearing all of these hats In fact, she was quite the opposite exuding the patina of a bar warrior. I asked Mandy for a single malt, neat, one Cheeseburger (medium-rare), one order of 6 Wings (medium heat) and a Philly Cheesesteak. As Mandy turned to get to work on my grub, I took a moment to take in the joint. I love coming to bars early, you can smell the stale alcohol and fun from the night before. Mandy returned with my Scotch and I must say, it looked like a good 3 oz pour...very generous. As I am 163 days sober, I won't be tasting it, but what a bang for your buck. The place is loaded with fun games and had a classic inviting bar atmosphere (think local watering hole). Mandy soon returned with my standard bar fare and I turned my attention to the job at hand. While the food may have been the standard found in Sports Bars across this great land of ours, this was far from ordinary. The Cheeseburger was cooked to a perfect rare and served on a grilled bun (my favorite kind of bun). The onions, lettuce and tomato were all garden fresh and generously applied with just the right amount of mayo. The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce had just the right amount of "oomph" to know you had a bit of heat in your mouth. There was a complex mix of sweet, tangy and heat that made my taste buds do a little shimmy. Moving on to the Philly Cheesesteak I paused to take in the perfect symmetry the sandwich presented. The meat was perfectly cooked, the bun seasoned and grilled and the whole thing was flawlessly executed. The Big Boy says, "If you're looking for a place to hang your hat for a bit, hunker down with some good grub and drinks with friends, look no further than Westside Sports Bar & Lounge." #bigboydiningout

But then a guy started to sit next to me and I guess he thought it was less crowded on the other side so he walked around; she locked eyes on his movements and followed him around and went to serve him, minute 15. I quietly got up and left. She had help but in over her capability.

She did Long Doggers no favors on Dec 12/7/25. We were dissapointed as we frequent often and expect the friendly service we received in the past. Looks like Kris G, check #197, Table 53 had other things on her mind but not her job. She seemed very absent minded. What a pity. We are locals but it will be a long time before we return. Ps: the food was great, the service lousy. I thought you should know. Friendly service is a big part of repeat business and a loyal customer base. Thank you. DPJ.

I'm glad we did end up here for wings because they did not disappoint. They were larger wings which is hard to get these days and I liked that they weren't drowning in sauce. I prefer my wings not super wet. The French fries were also good. It was a slow quiet night there as expected since it's a week night but non the less it was nice. I would say it definitely could use a few upgrades here and there. It looks like what you would expect your typical neighborhood dive bar to look like. My drink was just a tad bit stronger than I prefer when I ask for a whiskey and diet I want to at least have some soda flavor to the drink this tasted like straight whiskey with a tiny bit of diet. The server was pleasant enough and did what you would expect as far as table touching once we got our food and making sure things were tasting okay. All in all I would say we would come back for more wings next time we get the craving for some wings.

She loved everything that she ordered which I was happy for. I however, ordered something that I haven't tried, which was smoked barbecue wings, which I will not try again then I wouldn't have decided to barbecue egg roll which I will never do again. The only thing that I like was the blooming onionPatel. I let the waiter know I will never eat it again. Then he asked if we wanted to eat some bread pudding and I was very reluctant at first but then when it came and I took my first bite and it was absolutely delicious. Robert C was a very good server. He made sure to ask is everything ok and that's when I let him know what I didn't like. He also was accommodating to my needs and if I wanted something different and I told him no. As you would expect for a sports bar it was a little noisy, but at least my wife and I were able to have a conversation. When we come back to eat, I will definitely order what my wife ate. No more smoked wings or barbecue egg roll for this guy.
