Since 1982, Buffalo Wild Wings® (or B-Dubs® as our friends call us) has been the ultimate place to watch the game, have a cold beer and eat some great food. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you can always feel comfortable pulling some tables together with your friends and staying as long as you want.

My friends and I met for Wine O’Clock. The food and wine choices were excellent. The service was outstanding. Cooper’s Hawk is our favorite restaurant for lunch and dinner too. We are always treated well by staff, even though we tend to overstay our welcome lol. Cooper’s Hawk is the best!

I went on a Tuesday for the BOGO - that’s really the only day worth going because the wings are really small. I do not recommend the Asian Zing sauce. The service was great! It was loud but it’s also a sports bar, so I didn’t mind that. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars.

    Friends getting together and celebrating my husband’s birthday. All entrees were delicious. Steak medallions were tender and cooked to order. The chicken Marsala was very tasty and tender. The soy ginger salmon, grouper, mahi mahi, shrimp scampi were generous portions and excellent. The sides of roasted vegetables, broccoli and asparagus were also very tasty. And of course the pretzel bread and the wine was great. Our server Taylor was very efficient and provided excellent service.
