Barbie jerk, hot barbie, garlic parm, Mahalo bbq
Rhett B.

Well...it looks like I have found my Monday night wing place in Valparaiso and the occasional drop-in to catch some sports. Wings Etc. is a chain that I do not see in the South but have seen in several places in the North. My first visit was to a location in Michigan earlier in the year. I just moved to Valparaiso and had to know when the traditional wings were on special - 79 cents on Monday night! The location is kind of in a weird place. It isn't with all the other chain restaurants but on a road a few blocks north. It's the only restaurant in the vicinity. The atmosphere is all about sports, wings, and beer. The restaurant was very clean. They even have an Alabama guy working there that gave me a Roll Tide! Keep that guy around and I'll keep coming back since Roll Tide are my 2 favorite words. Those 2 words are hard to come by in North Indiana. I ordered 20 wings in the following 4 sauces: Maholo-Que (Hawaiian BBQ flavor - sweet like pineapple), Gar-Licky-Parm (Buffalo Wild Wings have some competition for best Parm), Jerkin' Barbie (Carribean BBQ), and Hot Barbie (Spicy BBQ). I loved each flavor but I think the Gar-Licky-Parm was the best of the bunch. There is a very diverse menu with so many options. I will be coming for the wings but I will branch out eventually. Now only if I can convince Wings Etc. to serve fresh-brewed sweet tea for this transplanted Bama Boy...I would probably come 4 nights a week then.

Traditional wings
Dennis E.

I took my wife out for dinner on a Thursday evening at 5 pm. There were plenty of tables available and the hostess seated us right away. Our server came right over and took our order. We both got traditional wings, she got 1/2 teriyaki and the other mild buffalo. I ordered the tweener. We also ordered some fried mushrooms. The mushrooms came out right away and I really expected them to be pipping hot, they were just warm. They were good, I was just surprised because they came out right away. Shortly thereafter our wings came out and they looked good as usual. The only thing I will change next time is I will order the wings "crispy" as the skin wasn't crispy enough for my liking. These wings are not the cheapest, but they are very consistent and it's a good reliable place to eat. Also, really nice outside dining area when open.

The wings at this place are always massive and juicy. All flavors that I've had taste excellent. When it comes to chain wing places, Wings Etc destroys them all when it comes to price per portion. I've paid more money for smaller portions at Valpo Bdubs and both Merrillville and portage Hooters. The service on the other hand is always hit or miss. I've even had a few servers that were straight up rude and seemed to not care about their job. At the end of the day I can't blame the restaurant on a few bad service experiences. I've Been 15+ times and they always have good deals on food, as well as super cheap beer for a chain restaurant. I'll take somewhat bad service in exchange for amazing wings

Buffalo Mac and cheese
Linda C.

Omg. My fiance took me to dinner here yesterday and I usually go for wings but I got the Buffalo mac and cheese, and let me tell you, it was soooooo dang delicious. And I got the mild but it was still good and my fiancé got the Asian kick and Nashville hot wings. We love coming here when the games are on.

Boneless Wings w/ Blue Cheese dip
Mark W.

April 2022 - This was a very random stop for food near dinner time. The sports bar atmosphere was very interesting and our tall table was comfortable. We shared two appetizers for dinner. The Ultimate Nachos and a small order of Boneless Wings. The Ultimate Nachos were excellent! The boneless wings were good but heavily breaded. The Buffalo sauce was very good! Our only annoyance was our server. She tried hard but needs serious training. She didn't look old enough to work in a bar. We waited a long time to get our food and within 3 or 4 minutes of receiving it she asked us if we wanted a to-go box. Overall, it was one of the better places in Valpo for bar food.

Buffalo Wild Wings has become one of my favorite chain restaurants to visit. I am addicted to…read moretheir traditional wings and fried pickles, plus all the incentives they give through their app. This was my first time visiting the Valparaiso location since I just moved to Valparaiso from Alabama. The location I think is unique because it is downtown and shares a building. The building is shaped weird in my opinion but the dining room and bar area seems to be huge. There are TVs everywhere like you would expect. Tonight though, I came because I was given a Dirty Tots through the B-dubs rewards app. The Dirty Tots had brisket, queso, smoky adobo sauce, and jalepenos on top. The brisket was good and tender. I felt like there wasn't hardly any sauce on top so I asked my waitress, Carolann, for some Honey BBQ. By the way, she was a wonderful server. Very easy to talk to and checked on me in a timely manner. And receives the highest mark for any server at a Buffalo Wild Wings by not charging me extra for sauce requests. I had 15 traditional wings with Mango Habanero (has definitely moved up my chart of flavors), Sweet BBQ, and Jammin Jalepeno, my favorite. I ordered them all extra wet and Valparaiso's Buffalo Wild Wings came through for me. They got it right! I can't tell you how many Buffalo Wild Wings I have been to in the past and asked for my wings to be extra wet...and when they come out, they have as little sauce as possible. My only disappointment with this location though is very common for an Alabama guy living in the state of Indiana....no sweet tea! Come on! Buffalo Wild Wings in the South has excellent sweet tea and plus it helps calm the heat, unlike water. This is a problem that has to be worked out for me. Even though I was disappointed with no sweet tea, (why does the North neglect themselves from one of God's greatest creations?) I gave this Buffalo Wild Wings a 5 for making my wings extra wet like I requested, and an outstanding server.

First time at this location in downtown Valpo. We had a server named Mason and he was training…read moreanother server. Mason was very kind and got our order perfect!! Atmosphere not too pound and found out they have 45 TVs at this location! Ordered the naked wings and hub got one of their new sandwiches- both very good! I gave it 4 stars because we had knats flying around us after our food came to the table. They need to get that under control!

The first time a friend and I stopped in, the bartender blatantly overcharged is on everything and then refused to refund our debit card 6, rather refunding cash. There's nothing like trying to run fraud she's on new customers. Tonight, my son and I stopped in. There were only 3 customers at the bar when we sat down, but the bartender was far more interested in talking to 1 of them than addressing us. FYI, it was a less than professional conversation, leaning in much more intimately. When she was done with her chat, she proceeded to the kitchen to hang out for a couple minutes, only popping out to glare at us again while on the phone. Finally, after a couple more minutes with no sign of our bartender, we left. This place offers mediocre food (on a good day) and a pathetic beer selection. While I am all to happy to patronize a local establishment, even with subpar offerings, I'm not going to pay for such pathetic service. Take your money elsewhere. There are many far better establishments who value their customers, all within 5-10 minutes drive. Keep driving when you see the sign for The Sportsman.
