Great spot for wings and beers. The caramel apple moonshine is delicious too. Ive had a few of their appetizers and they were less than apetizing. Their chicken nachos are gross. The chicken is a ground chicken that looks and tastes pretty bad! I had to send it back. They should just stick to wings.

Went last week, my second time. The bartender was so rude and acted like she didn't care. I don't have a name to add because she barley spoke to me and my co worker. The bar was so tight and the food is too expensive for what you get . 2 beers , fried pickles and wings and the bill is like 40 dollars. Way over rated I guess I'll stick to applebees.

For chicken and non chicken lovers alike, enjoy a variety of sauces and the burgers are to die for. Also while watching your favorite sports enjoy a basket of fries and nachos with cheese

Very hit or miss. Not gonna lie, I go all the time. Mostly take out, but the kids will come and play with the iPads they have there and stuff. Plenty of TVs and such. Its not a 5 star. I dropped it from 4 to 3 because the food it hit or miss. The food is pretty inconsistent which stinks. Some nights its a waste of $10-15 on a take out meal. Some nights it's great.

So I find myself in Branchberg on Saturday with my daughter and we need to stop for lunch after her practice. I decide that I'm FINALLY going to stop in at Buffalo Wild Wings as it's been years since I've had the chance to eat at one and I've had great food there in the past. Now, I'm not in the mood for wings (for those that follow along, I'm one of the idiots who successfully completed the wing challenge at Cluck U), so I decide to get the crispy chicken sandwich with the 'wild' sauce (2nd hottest) to go. The very good looking young lady who took my order couldn't have been nicer and was helpful as the menu has changed in the 8 years since my last B-Dubs experience. I checked the place out while I waited for my food and I'm thinking this place must be great during big games- lots of TVs, great beer selection, great food. So I finally get my food...and that's where we start losing stars. First off, the lettuce and tomato on the sandwich look like they're from last week's leftover salads, and I don't mean premade salads I mean this looks like it came from someone's plate- disgusting...there goes one star. The onion rings are a greasy, oily, mess with no flavor-I ate two (hoped the first one was an anomaly-it wasn't)...oops there goes another star. Then the main event-the now veggie-less sandwich with thier 'wild' sauce and again-nothing but disappointment. Dry, tasteless chicken puck that they tried to save with the sauce...to no avail. A complete disaster of a lunch. I actually tossed half the sandwich and made a PB&J when I got home. There's a sandwich hat won't let you down... The only reason this place got two stars is that I've had good dining experiences in the past so I hope there's a chance they can redeem themselves. Such a disappointment...

Ehh, not as good as the other locations, food was slow to come out, service wasn't good. Rather go to tequila joes or the other Buffalo Wild Wings in watchung. Give it two stars because have been there a few times and this place used to be good.

I give this place a 3.5 stars in comparison to all the other sports bars I been to. It's only slightly better than your average sports bar. Since I can't give this place a 3.5, I'm dropping it to a three rather than upping it to a four. Why? Because it could use a renovating in it's decor (unenthusiastic sports memorabilia) and seating (too close and cluttered) arrangement, but what can I say it's a sports bar chain centered around their wings and name. This place is good for it's location. Being non-local, we can't say much for what else is around but we drove around and this was the best prospect at the time. A diner down the road? Nah. Wendy's? Nah. KFC? it looked desolate or closed, so... Nah. At 11pm on a Friday night we're already down the I95, North on Interstate 287 and West on Route 22, for those coming from New York. The half full or is it half empty parking lot provides ample parking (it was not packed this night). The bright glowing overhead sign screams come in. And when we do, there stands a big screen bigger than the one in my living room, one plus star, then you notice all the other many television sets, they are all over the place, another star, cool. -The bar area has a wide array of different liquors and beers (bottled, tap and bottles to make mixers) -The waitresses have decent appearances and on the fairly positive side, I mean it was half way to midnight, you never know how long one's shift has been tabling all day. The speed of service was decent, about a 20 minute wait. -Every time I see mini burgers on a menu, I am enticed to order them. White Castle calls them "Sliders" and Burger King did the same. Buffalo Wild Wings has a similar on their appetizer menu called "Slammers". I ordered the Pulled Pork. The pork is more chunks than strings. The pork was soft, yet lightly meaty filling and flavorful because they were smothered in Wild sauce (my choice). The bread is a sort of a Roll bread: soft and chewy, but no where near the softness of the buns from a White Castle "Sliders". Accompanied with these mini burgers are fries which are thin and pretty plain. The Nachos and Chicken Quesadilla were good but on the average side. -We order two of their 24 wing platters, one order of the Mango Habanero and one order of the Spicy Garlic. I know my wings, these are pretty good. It's not the wings themselves that make them good because the chicken wings are not super crispy or farm fresh, but with the sauce and being cooked well, make these wings worth coming back for. I have had better at local pizza spots and bars that serve Buffalo wings. I guess Buffalo Wild Wings are somewhere above the middle. -This is no place for a date unless you like speaking loudly to your mate. Buffalo Wild Wings is good for a game night or with a bunch of college buddies or even maybe with your dad rooting for the Knicks, oh I mean the Nets.

OK, so after our last review we were contacted by the President of the company who owns the BW3 franchise. Steve was really upset by our experience; he said he "went through the roof" and made sure we knew there was "no corporate policy" about turning all TVs to UFC like the manager had told us. Steve contacted us through Yelp asking if he could "earn our business back." He gave us his personal email address and cell number. When Steve reached out to us we were encouraged to revisit BW3 Bridgewater and give it another shot. So we sent Steve an email and told him we were coming back (this was on Friday, Nov. 26) to watch another WVU game. Steve seemed really happy and told us that he reached out to the GM Brian who would "make sure we were taken care of" that night. Brian even called us and left a VM. He let us know Steve contacted him and that the WVU/ Pitt game would be on, "obviously" and that when we come in, ask for him so he could say hi. Here is our night: We came in and scored a table by the bar right away. Our server came over and took our order in what seemed like 30 seconds. Our Waiter Ronnie was someone who has waited on us before and always provides great service. He even salted our napkins before putting our beers down. Yes, the WVU Pitt game was on the big screen TV and a few others, as were all the other games going on last night. The sound that was on was for a basketball game so we heard squeaky sneakers all night. Once we had our drinks we asked Ronnie if Brian was around and he said he would check. We ordered food and were enjoying the game, we asked about Brian about 30 min later and we were told he was off tonight but Ronnie said that he "texted" him. Another manager came over and said to us, "I guess you are the guys that called about the WVU game? We put on for ya." Then he walked away. That was all from management. We enjoyed the rest of our night paid our bill in full and left. We were a little disappointed because no one recognized or apologized for our previous visit when we were lied to by management about how they couldn't change ANY of the TVs from UFC to accommodate the game we were watching. If the President of a company reaches out to a customer you should do more than just have one of the bigger games on TV that night on the big screen TV. We didn't come looking for a freebie but an apology for our last visit from a manager in person would have been nice, or maybe even a half price app to recognize we are trying to give your BWW another shot. The sad thing is, A started going to BWW back when it was BW3's (Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck) about 15 years ago when she attended WVU. She was so excited when they were now being built in NJ, as it was her favorite place to watch sports, and she had an affinity for the place since her college days. We used to drive all the way to the North Brunswick location until the Bridgewater one opened up. We chose to drive past the Watchung location because the Bridgewater one was bigger and the service was better. She was a true loyal customer and introduced me, along with many other friends, to BWW.

Hooters + Chuckey Cheese = Buffalo Wild Wings Awsome wings many different styles to choose from (must try Asian flavor) cool part about it is you get to play poker or trivia on the screens while your eating. Overall good spot for a hangout.

A fun hangout after work if you are in the Bridgewater/ Raritan area.. Its always fun ordering the wings from the long list of "hot levels", and I like the setting, because its a perfect hangout with collegues.. The garlic parmesan wings were worth a second order, and the hot wings were gone before I could get to them, so thats definitely what you need to aim for... Also, I like the mango harbenaro .. I usually prefer my wings very hot :) What I dont like is probably the stools, because, they feel uncomfortable after a while, and its a pain to try keeping your coat off the floor. I ordered a black cherry mojito, and it tasted just like black cherry juice, which was disappointing, especially since NJ is usually better about making good drinks than NYC.. I ordered a second one, and it was even sweeter than the first, at which point i just had to say no more..

I have eaten almost zero chicken in the past ten years but for some reason had to experience the hot wings at the Blazin level. The result? I enjoyed them -- Blazing is definitely hot but not so crazy as to be uneatable. So far so good, but then came the fish tacos I ordered. They were okay but certainly not what I expected. For the most part you could describe them as a fillet wrapped by shredded lettuce and a soft taco shell -- not much 'taco' to the taco. The reason to go back would be for the wings of fire and before I do I would try to find a better experience somewhere else.

This place since it opened had been my go to for football Sundays, trivia, and wing s. As a person who cannot drink beer the drinks are very expensive! They finally had a good thing with Angry Orchard on tap and they got rid of it!!!! Seriously? $5-$6 a bottle its outrageous! You can get a six pack for $8.99!!!! Finding a new NFL hangout. Good bye bww!!

*2.5 Stars* New chain restaurant in the Bridgewater, NJ area. Bartenders are attentive but their food service is terrible! Waited 40 mins for wings...really? Your food staple which you churn through hundreds an hour and you still manage to F that up? No apologies either...the beers are abundant but pricey. Even when we got the wings, they were small. Paid $10 for a dozen...rip off. Their numerous flavors are cool but come on! Make them bigger, plumper, juicier...better! Their burger are THE worst I have ever tried. Threw half of it out...fries were less than desirable. My gf had the fish taco's (breaded and deep fried). They were decent which raised my star status from 0 to 2 (and plenty of TV's which is nice). Overall it's on the lower end of chain restaurants.

You get what you pay for. The wing sauce selection is the best part about BWW. Try the Caribbean Jerk or Asian Zing if you like the best tasting ones. Beer prices aren't that bad either, I normally get Budweiser when I'm there. It's a great place to go with friends and watch a game. They have multiple TVs set up all around the restaurant, so no matter where you are you can see any game you'd like. The biggest game of the night is on the biggest TV right in front of the bar, so if you came just for that game, you'll have easy access to watching it.

I wish the wings were larger. These must be the smallest chickens in America. Bantam chickens have larger wings and they're like pigeon size. Ok flavor, fast service, yet, something was missing. Too much attention to all the details is almost as bad as not enough, does that make sense? The wings were flavorful enough... I'm not a sports guy to the barrage of sports everywhere you look was distracting. Maybe they should do wings in two sizes? Extra small and normal?

Some of the best service I've ever experienced, so I'd like to make a Yelp out (?) to our amazing waiter Jay!! We all thought he was the best! This place is great for dinner & drinks with a few friends -prepare for a noisy atmosphere, after all it IS a sports bar! -The Occasion: My boyfriend and I have been meaning to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for a while now, so when my brother suggested it for a Friday night, we were more than willing to try it! -The Atmosphere: Picture a wide-open sports bar with tons of tables, people, energy, and televisions. Perfection. -The Service: Jay was the man of the night. First off, when we moved from the bar to our table he explained how he always keeps an eye on our drinks and refills without anyone asking 3 times.. after that he will ask if we would life a refill. Can you say awesome? Now I must admit, I did have my doubts... but when that last drop was gone, a new beer magically appeared. He was on it. He also knew that menu like the back of his hand, was so helpful with picking seasonings and sauces. He wasn't over the top or flaky.. he came off as a nice guy doing his job flawlessly. -The Menu: buffalowildwings.com/dow… A huuuge variety of wing flavors - on my mouth is already watering thinking about it! Flavors ranged from sweet, to spicy, to mild, to sweet and spicy, to mild with a hint of sweet... the list goes on. The meals all had decent descriptions, and their beer list was normal. -The Food: We chose an appetizer of 3 different types of wings (we ALL know how to eat...). My brother selected something like a mango-habanero sauce, I chose chipotle bbq seasoning and the boy grabbed some spicy garlic flavor. They were all incredible! I hate to use the expression, but it truly was an explosion of flavor in my mouth!! Yumm. For my meal I chose the chickien wrap again with the chipotle seasoning - delllicious and sooo filling! -The Total: For 3 meals, about 9 beers and the wings I believe the total was in the $80's. -The Experience: If you couldn't tell... we all had a wonderful time!! Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend if you are looking for a fun night out!

I have nothing bad to say about this place - it is what it is, a place to get wings and beer while watching sports on dozens of TVs. In fact, it's superior to the BWW a few miles east in Watchung in one key way - the selection of beers on tap is much better here. Bar service is usually great; table service could be better but it's not horrible. A thing to look for is their specials at certain hours on certain nights - I stopped here once just for 6 wings and one Dogfish Head IPA and my bill was about $5.20 - ridiculously low because I happened to hit a wings special and a draft beer special at the same time. Other than that, everything here is exactly like the other 5 or so BWW's I've been to in my life.

I love wings. Places like this are more reasons why I am fat. The place has a great vibe to it and tv's everywhere. The menu is simple, wings, bar food and beer. We had ordered some wings here with the Mrs and baby and we truly enjoyed them. My only complaint is the service. On a Saturday afternoon when they were CLEARLY staffed appropriately as there were a lot of staff, we had to wait for drinks. That's a big pet peeve of mine! The wings were not the largest and for the normal price wings, it disappoints me that we got 12 of the smallest wings you've ever seen. I love the concept and I love the place itself, but come on man have a little meat on them bones! The boneless wings were a positive here, they were plumb and nicely juicy. I have also been here on a Tuesday when the wings are 1/2 price! They also have 1/2 price boneless wings Thursdays! A special note to people is that you can get the 1/2 price wings on either Tuesday or Thursday to go, so if you need to eat at home or want to eat in your underwear...then by all means get em to go!

I am a chicken wing fan, and these were awesome. We went for a UFC event, and they didn't charge a cover or jack up the price of beer. In fact, they still had beer specials. We did 50 wings for 4 people, and appetizers were 1/2 price at a certain time, so we had a feast and tried lots of flavors. I like it hot, and the hottest flavor here made me sweat. The wings were large, the sauces were good, no breading- it's everything you want in a wing. The other appetizers... well the nachos were terrible and the sliders may as well have been full sized burgers. But hey, its called Buffalo Wild Wings, and the wings did not disappoint. Considering that all the chicken wings in metuchen come from Italian restaurants, have breading and are small, this is the only acceptable place to get a decent wing.

Wings were decent. Got boneless wings with a jalepeno sauce. Beer selection is ok. If you come here on the odd hours, food and drinks are real cheap. I will probably come here again to see a sports event. Seems like it could be a good time.

Jessica M.
So I went here with some friends..First it was crowded as expected but they had a table in the bar area which was fine, albeit you cant move your chair or you may hit the person sitting behind you or someone walking by. I asked waiter for his opinion on the wings, he told me be careful with the jalapeno ones and he would not go any higher unless i wanted my mouth on fire..lol. Well I took the advice, and had Jalapeno ones - they were not even close to hot,more like sweet to me : 0 So overall, I was very dissapointed in my wing choices. The wings arent even that great to me, not alot to them. Dont get me wrong I guess if people go to watch sports and drink and have wings it could be a great time. But to come here for dinner, I dont think I would...I wasnt that impressed at least at the one in Bridgewater. I will try another location and see if I think differently.

Food is great at BWW! Fried pickles are an awesome appetizzer. For entrees I LOVE the boneless wings with Asian Zing sauce and fries with queso. They are always good wings and NEVER fatty. This is just a good place to get food and an AWESOME place for food and sports. Great on NFL football Sundays! Staff are usually pretty good for the most part as well.

Return trips to BWW have been less than enjoyable. Do the young staff in their ill-fitting, drab jerseys, get trained to be so sullen? This present group seems put off by the term "Service". The fried food here is not that good that they can get away with a loud environment and bad service.

Recently came across this location through a friend who works here PT after having a negative experience at a different location. The service for lunch was terrific. The wings were solid and came out promptly. The only thing even close to a negative was that I ordered 2 different sauces but the wings seemed on top of each other. I'm newly working in the area so look forward to going back.

Where to start? Mismanagement, or disappointing food? How about I just go chronologically? I had never been to Buffalo Wild Wings before. My wife told me that their mango habanero boneless wings were awesome. So I was excited to try them. I didn't know anything about the set-up. I was actually expecting it to be more of a take-out place than a sit-down dining establishment. I mention this so that you understand that I wasn't exactly expecting Daniel Boulud to bring my wings out to me and tell me about all of the exotic spices that he used to season them. I was expecting the food to be decent, though. It wasn't. So we ended up ordering the appetizer sampler with boneless wings in garlic sauce. If everything on the sampler other than the boneless wings had sucked, I would have thought that it was our own stupidity for ordering non-wing items at a wing place. Actually, everything on the appetizer sampler sucked... including the wings. It didn't have anything to do with the chicken. The pieces of chicken were decent pieces of chicken, and were cooked fine. The garlic sauce was just terrible. My wife agreed. OK, fine. Garlic sauce isn't a typical "wing place" sauce, and my wife (who swore the mango habanero sauce was awesome) didn't like the garlic sauce either. So I should be patient and wait for the mango habanero boneless wings. First were the "buffalo chips." I assumed, wrongly, that these would be potato chips with a buffalo flavor. (I had also factored in a small probability that the appetizer would have actually been something made from the actual buffalo animal, like a chipped beef but with bison meat. I was giving that about a 2% probability, and actually probably would have preferred that to what I got.) "Chips" to me implies thinly sliced potatoes, which are fried to the point where they are hard, and can be cracked. What we were actually served would more aptly be described as baked potato slices with cheese on top and absolutely no buffalo seasoning (or buffalo meat). So they weren't really buffalo or chips. My wife really liked them, though. I don't like baked or boiled potatoes, and these tasted somewhere between the two. As our final course, we had boneless mango habanero wings. Ah, the moment I've been waiting for. An item that is going to be good. Nope. My hopes were dashed. You know how a good wing is hot, but the heat comes after the flavor, and is cumulative with each bite? Yeah, this wasn't like that. The heat came on first. So you never tasted mango, or anything else for that matter. You just tasted the heat. Anybody can do that. Just cut open a hot pepper. Cut those little white ribs out, and use that in your sauce. That's not a good wing. The mismanagement part comes in with the staff. Our waitress was really hustling (which is part of the reason for the second star), but it seemed like about 75% of the staff was either sitting around doing nothing, or wasting their time lobbying the hostesses to get the parties that looked like they were going to spend more. Meanwhile, those hostesses were busy assigning tables in an absurd rotation that caused the few servers who were working hard to have all of their tables ordering at the same time. One of the managers had apparently recognized that things were going fairly wrong, but instead of trying to fix it by getting her staff in line, she decided to help bussing tables. FYI: If you can't handle the tables you have, cleaning the empty tables to seat more people should be your last priority. So, they got a second star because our waitress was really hustling, and because my wife liked the putrid potato things. Other than that, everything was terrible.

My first time to BWW - Wow...was the food bad. You'd be better off going to the Station Pub and Grub in Bernardsville NJ if you want really good wings. The 'formula' restaurant they use here creates a fake menu and overdone, over-seasoned food that tastes cheap but is overpriced. I can't say I'll ever go back. The noise level was deafening - good luck trying to have a conversation anywhere in the place. It's just loud, loud, loud.

You would think they would know how to make wings...well think again. I ordered four varieties, Medium, Caribbean, Azian zing, spicy garlic. They were over cooked and had close to zero sauce. Only wings worse were from Domino's. I called they were going to give me 24 new wings. Don't think I will ever go and redeem that.

Nothing in this place is actually cooked!!!!! Nachos had canned chili---burgers were frozen ---macaroni and cheese out of the box---- had chicken Ceasar salad ,chicken was ice cold premixed with dressing served in a gross scoop- this place is all hype. do not believe the commercials - it stinks!!!

This is your place if you like noise, sports, and mediocre food. Sorry, I just made the wrong choice because it is always so busy that I thought it is because it just might be good. It is child friendly if your children are noisy & you don't want anyone to complain. We sat in a booth across from a couple with 4 pre-teens who gawked at the TVs above us while yelling. We thought they were waiting to be served so it would be a long wait for us but they were watching TV & nursing their sodas for a very long time. Our toddlers had trouble eating the chicken bites (long strips of chicken with a crispy coating too hard to chew. My chicken artichoke flatbread needed some bite so I waited for a long time then requested hot sauce (and a booster seat) then went to the hostess & was accommodated quickly. The flat bread was $10, thought a little too much for the size. The jerk chicken sandwich was good said my husband. The wings may be great but there will be no next time for me.

If you are 21 to 29, this is your place. Beer selection is incredible. TV's everywhere and the place is LOUD. Not much in the way of atmosphere. Looks like they could put the chairs up on the tables and clean the whole place out with a firehose. We sat at the bar - one bartender very friendly and trying his best to handle a big crowd. The other woman working with him didn't crack a smile the whole time and looked angry with the world. Ordered a burger and some appetizers. I have to say the food was absolutely the worst I have ever eaten. Who messes up a cheese quesadilla? BWW can. It had the most unbelievably awful combination of seasonings that I have ever experienced. Burgers only come medium-well. That equals dried out and overcooked. The queso cheese dip with chips was of a quality comparable to the cafe car in an Amtrack train (although I think Amtrack wins on this one.) Honestly can' t think of a single thing that would entice me to return here.

It is really hard for me to write this review. I had a horrible experience here. We went for Mother's day because I am easy to please. I've been wanting to try this place forever and all the other restaurants were mobbed. It looked like a fun place where the kids could be loud. They offer sugar free red bull on the menu. I was super excited. Not many places do that. Of course they were out. I was disappointed but it is forgivable let us move on. I was going to get wings but there was an awesome looking juicy steak burger that caught my eye. It had two patties, steak strips, pepper jack cheese, onion rings covered in any wing sauce. OMG, amazing! I go with that. The waiter took our order and after he left the table it instantly occurred to me that he didn't ask me how I wanted my burger or steak cooked. I am so picky with that. I can not swallow anything besides medium rare. After 15 minutes we finally find him and I say I don't remember telling you but I need my burger medium rare. He then explains to me that all their burgers are "precooked" medium well. YUCK!!!!!! At this point, my burger is 1 minute from coming out. He says, if I don't like it, they will make me something else. I am so annoyed at this point, I don't want anything else. He brings the burger and watches me take a bite. I obviously hate it. It is not only well done it is charred. DOUBLE YUCK. I am not one to complain or exchange food. I have heard too many horror stories. I felt very conflicted because I wanted everyone to leave me alone with my gross food but they were trying their best to be nice. He came over, the manager came over. He came over again. Now the person I am with is arguing with me to get another meal. It really was very uncomfortable. Like I said, they were trying to be nice but I didn't want anything anymore. Maybe I was being a brat, I don't know. I just didn't want to wait for a new dish plus I had the issue of God knows what they will do to it in the back. I just wish they would have told me how the burgers were cooked when I ordered it. I usually say medium rare as soon as I order beef however we had the kids and they were being kids. The whole precooked burger and steak thing didn't sit right with me. I would say go here for wings and beer. So sad because I wanted to love this place. I never though I would have left with such a weird experience.

This place had a lot of potential, but their terrible management and awful staff ruined it for me and my friends. I went every Sunday for 2 months straight with friends, and each time I hoped that the previous time was just a one-off. They are clueless. They are generally friendly, but untrained. They never know what the specials are and frequently communicate the wrong ones. One time, this criminal looking guy even said "oh you guys would already know what they are." Then, every week, drinks would take 20+ minutes to arrive. How complicated is it to pour a beer? They have many levels of management, from staff to supervisor or manager to general manager. Many were present--all were stupid. They are never on the same page and aren't sure of their own policies. They definitely don't care about retaining business. Please avoid. I'm going to try Green Knoll Grille as my new Sunday afternoon hangout.

This is the 2nd BWW to open up in the area (the other is a little further down Route 22 in Watchung). This location has taken over the old Lonestar Steakhouse spot - right in the middle of Route 22. I was pretty excited to give this place a shot, as this is the most convenient BWW to where I live. When I first walked in, I actually thought it was going to be bigger. There are TV's everywhere and the restaurant is split into 2 sections - the main dining area and the bar area. Unlike other BWW's, the bar area is not seat yourself. You have to give your name to be seated there, which I thought was strange. I really think they should change that, especially when most of the tables in the bar were empty anyway. My wife and I grabbed a beer at the bar and were able to get a bar table pretty quickly. The place was pretty packed and our waitress was very good. This place definitely has some kinks to work out but it just opened and I totally give them a pass. It seemed like the guys bringing food out had no idea where it was going. We were asked at least half a dozen times if we ordered something that we hadn't. We started out with an order of the wings - how can you not? While I don't think the wings are anything spectacular, I am starting to really like them. They probably have at least 15 different sauces and rubs to choose from. I also had a burger and it was very good. I like the bun they use and I also like the thin shoestring type fries. For having been open less than a week, the service was pretty good. I am sure that it will improve a little over time and I really hope they turn the bar into a seat yourself area. A couple of sidenotes - I counted and they have 30 beers on tap and a great bottle selection. Absolutely incredible. Also, you can only exit the parking lot and get on 22 East, not west. This is a solid burger/wing and beer type place and a very good spot to watch a game. It is a phenomenal addition to the area.

I've been here a bunch of times. Wait staff is good and pretty much on the ball. I was participating in their 30/30 promotion. The 30/30 is you try thirty beers they have on tap and 30 beers they have in bottles and you get 100 free wing party. Wings are ok, they have a lot of sauces you can choose. It's ok, and a fun for a friday happy hour.

I stopped in to Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday with some friends to get drinks. It was my first time at this location, but not my first time at a Buffalo Wild Wings since I have been to the one in North Brunswick. Overall I just don't think BWW is my kind of place. First off it's a chain and if you have read any of my reviews you know I hate chains. I also feel like I'm back in 5th grade in the middle school cafeteria. There is hardly any separation between the bar area and the dining room plus they pack tables and people in here like sardines. Give me a tray and some sloppy joe sandwiches and it will be the complete cafeteria experience. It's also somewhat of a sensory overload. Between the 50 TVs they have and the constant screaming by people in the bar area it can get outright annoying. A couple positives about BWW was there beer selection and the service we were given by our waitress. They have a full wall of beer taps. I'm not sure the exact number, but I would say somewhere around 25. Many of them are micro brews and hard to fund beers which is always nice. Our waitress was great and brought everything we needed very quickly. This was the exact opposite experience of when I visited there North Brunswick location. Even with the couple of positives I just mentioned I would skip this place and choose a local sports bar. You'll find much more character at places like that.

Don't come here for the tiny wings! Try something else. Service was very good. Food was ok. I have never seen such small wings served and it is the name of the place!

The restaurant was very loud despite being only half full. After 10 minutes waiting for our server no one arrived. We opted to move outside which was much quieter despite the traffic on US 22. Our server was pleasant and promptly brought us our drink order. The food was another matter. We were waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally some gentleman came by to ask if we were waiting for our food which we said we were. He leaves then our food arrives and the wings are not crisp but soggy. They don't leave any napkins nor plates. The woman at the next table offers us her spare napkins and paper dishes. She also tells us that she has been at the other BWW in the area and it is just as bad. Try it yourself if you must but otherwise avoid it. It's just not worth the aggravation.

Decided to try this location, after going to another one. There is not enough parking, and this place gets over- crowded very quick. It was so bad yesterday, that when people were finally called for a table in the bar area, by the time they got over there, the table was gone. Reason being, some of the waitresses were letting folks at the bar take open tables not meant for them. The food here was ok, but its just too small inside.. The one located on route 1 is better... Oh, if you sit in bar area, it does get cold over there.

now that the initial opening rush has passed, it's become much easier to get a table. the nachos are good (i dunno what they season the chips with, but it's pretty tasty). i've found that the crust on the wings has become less and less crispy since they've opened, so i always ask for them well done. the bf likes the grilled chicken wrap, but avoid the naked tenders like the plague - they are dry and nasty.

We stopped here the night of the Women's World Cup final (June 5, 2015) and, as expected, it was packed, standing room only, with a wait. Not our usual type of place, but it was close to match time. We checked the bar and saw a table occupied with backpacks and motorcycle helmets. When we asked the hostess about it, she said "somebody put them there" and a server said "it's not my station" when the hostess asked her. We gave our name for the list and stood at the bar for drinks and to watch the match. After about an hour or so wait, we were seated in the main restaurant area, which was fine, as there are TVs everywhere. The helmets seemed to have left around that time as well. Our server was attentive. Food came out relatively quickly, and was OK. Our main problem was how management could allow a server to lose money on a table by letting inanimate objects occupy a table and basically take money out of a server's pockets.

I've always liked wings especially boneless, but I was disappoint when I got my order. It looked like they defrosted some bad chicken from shoprite and poured sauce on top barley covering all areas of the chicken. It wasn't fresh and completely cold. Just think of the bad fried chicken from middle school you used to get. However, they did bring back out my order hot, but it still looked the same, defrosted chicken with sauce poured on top. The quality of the food was below average. It was crunchy. I've had better boneless wings at other restaurants like Friday, Chillis, and Applebee's. I've had better wings at another Buffalo Wild Wings in California and the quality there was 10X better then this restaurant. For being a wings place they definitely failed for producing good tasty wings.

I would need to come here for apps/happy hour/sports day to upgrade or downgrade. This is an average Buffalo Wild Wings and what you would expect from a chain restaurant in a town with little boxes on a hillside, little boxes made out of ticky tacky. I was here with a group of 8 people. Our server was nice enough. She met our expectations with providing our drinks timely and handling the large orders. She was also able to take a to go order and have it out in time for us before we left. The food was average calorie dense Buffalo Wild Wings food. So imagine: FRIED, greasy, cheesy crap that would wreck anyone's diet. It was tasty for what it was. I had the fish tacos. Would suggest if you don't feel like eating chickens. The buffalo Mac and cheese was popular at our table. But I didn't eat that. Probably was too dense for me. So I probably won't come back unless I'm invited out to watch a game on TV. But for a chain, it's a-okay and if that's your thing, this is a good spot.

Everything here is just "fine" and I mostly only go because my boyfriend loves BWW. I too enjoy the food but the service is not the best. They are usually pretty packed here and the amount of times our table has been checked up on are far and few in between with dirty plates not taken away from apps when we have our entrees.

Place is pretty decent. Great for drinks and wings. They have so many flavor. The mango habanero was way hotter than at any other restaurant! The hot wings are good. So is the honey mustard wings and Chipotle bbq.

Came here on New Year's Day for the cure for what ailed us. This apparently is the place to go if you need some calorie-dense, post-imbibing food. We opted for the boneless wings, cheese fries, and a pulled pork sandwich. The cheese on the fries was very stingy. They could have doubled the cheese dosage and it still would not have been enough. The boneless wings were good (I don't do bones) and the pulled pork sandwich was flavorful, albeit a bit fatty. I didn't really love their fries. They were a bit overdone for my liking. Our server Carlton was fantastic. He was so upbeat and so friendly. He really made the experience fun for us. He knew that this was my first time at BWW and he explained the way the menu works and the different options I could choose. The restaurant was super clean and none of the waitstaff looked even remotely annoyed about having to work on New Year's Day. Kudos to them for that!

The wings were horrible. Nothing worse than biting into a wing with undercooked skin on it. Wings should have a crisp outside.

There were 9 of us they only brought out 7 orders. The 2 orders came out when everyone else was done. Two of the first 7 orders that came out where salads that were supposed to come with chicken but there was no chicken in the salads. If you want beer and wings I'm sure the place is fine. But if you want a meal don't waste your time. They didn't charge us for the meals they screwed up but I would have rather paid and not been aggravated.

Thursday nights are the only time I come here. Can't beat the 60 cent wings. Service is usually attentive and aware unless they are eating and not paying attention to the tables. Food comes out quickly unless it's a really business night during a game or 6-7pm any night of the week. The only complaint is that it's very loud but that's to be expected from a sports bar. Other than that, great place but I suggest take out if you want to eat in a more comfortable less noisy atmosphere!

This review is for service. I feel it's very hard to get good service around here anymore. First and foremost I don't understand this trend where a waiter and or manager feel the need to pull up a chair and sit down at our table to take our order. I'm sure they are very nice people but I don't want them sitting down at my table. Next order of business, if this poor guy got any of our order right besides our beer id be surprised. Repeated the order twice and still got it wrong. I throughly enjoy my salt and vinegar fries since I don't really eat fries anymore. He brings out plane Jane fries and I point out that we ordered salt and vinegar. I know it's just a seasoning they put on but there was no need to just add a tiny dose on top and you could barely taste it. So annoying. What is the point of having promotions if NO ONE knows what the hell it is!?!? I got an email promotion for a free snack size wings for my birthday and decided to use it today. Well I was wrong!! Told the guy and showed him my email for the free snack size wings and he looked at me like I had 10 heads!! Then says he's going to get the manager. After the third attempt at this he gets the manager and we ordered our snack size wings. Never came and when we were done eating our waiter asked about the snack size. We were there an hour in a half and had repeatedly asked about the stupid snack size wings (only because my kids would eat them on top of their meal). It was my daughters birthday and we know from past experience that the cake is a HUGE piece so my husband ordered ONE piece of cake and 3 small ice cream scoops. We figured they could split the big piece of cake and each got a vanilla scoop of ice cream. No instead we got THREE pieces of chocolate cake and THREE ice cream scoops....absolutely ridiculous!! They are small children not teenagers or young adults even!! The Buffalo Wild Wings in Woodbridge is great and that's usually the one we go to or Watchung. I can guarantee we will not be coming to the Bridgewater location again. ****Our waiter did recommend the limited time Blue Moon wings and they were really good****

The food here is WAY over-priced for the quality & small portions. Ordered a flatbread and it was decent but the chicken on it was dry. The bahama mama I ordered was great. And the fudge chocolate cake I had was to die for. But anything other than the wings on the menu is not worth the money and tastes like it sits in a freezer in the back and they just heat it up. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful. He said he had been working since 10 am and by this time it was 7 pm and he looked like he was about to fall on his face but he still tried his best to accommodate us.

Finally made the decision to go here and see what all the hype was about, and sad to say that this place did not live up to my expectations. Staff was friendly and attentive, however the food was disappointing. My husband ordered the steak wrap, we were expecting actual steak but what we got was frozen thin sliced cheesesteak type beef. Horrible. I expected my wings to be amazing since that is what this place is most famous for, but I found them to be nothing special. They were just like the wings I could get from any local pizzeria. Won't be coming back here any time soon!

I ordered large boneless wings and one of the wings looked really nasty when I opened it. I lost my appetite and decided to leave, so most of the food went to waist. I won't be going there anymore.

I guess you have to know what your coming for. Came for lunch during the week, plenty of space, tons of tvs seems like a great place to watch the games. I didn't have any wings (gasp) I know I know... So I can't comment on that... But I did have plenty of appetizers and a sandwich. If we didn't get the app samplers I would have not wanted to order anything else, the nachos were a bad excuse for what nachos should be, mostly lettuce a bit of beans ... Onion rings were mediocre... I sliced through it looked like it was made out of batter only. Mozzarella sticks were fine very middle of the line. The one thing I tried here was the fried pickles which I was soooo confused about but they were actually really interesting. Got the make your own sandwich... I felt like a 10 year old making a sandwich in the kitchen. It was literally a bun (nothing special) a piece of chicken (looked like the chicken breast tenders I buy frozen in a bag of 20/$5, a slice of cheese melted on top. I get that's what I ordered but it was so basic I almost got angry that I paid $12 for something - the SAME exact thing I could make at home for a fraction. Honestly you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. The beer selection is great, good to watch games, but the food was oh so lacking.

Came in for a craft beer (Stone specifically, which used to be on tap). This place used to have good craft beers (as advertised *eyeroll*) but now it's basically bottom of the barrel Blue Moon/Stella crap. There are much better eateries and places to grab a good beer in this area. Avoid, this place sucks.

So busy on a Tuesday which is great for them. Love all the tvs and of course we come here for the wings! The bar was full and we couldn't sit there cause there were 2 children couldn't have been older then six taking up 3 bar stools so we had to go sit in the dinning room. I later noticed one the servers with the little girls and was really annoyed that they let their children sit at the bar and take away spots from paying customers that are of legal age. Working in the industry I know you can't have anyone under the age of 21 sitting at the bar! Other then that our waitress (Libria- I think her name was) was great and the food was awesome like always.

Must be nice to be the only game in town. Even taking into effect that it was a football Sunday, the service was poor at best. They were out of some of the beers on the menu and when I selected one it took forever to get. The worst part is they did not bring all of the drinks or food together. Then the portion size on the food was dismal and to top it off they only gave half a slice of cheese on my cheeseburger. Not a place to go if you want good food or service.

Sang L.
I go to this place every Tuesday with my colleagues for their wings specials on that day. Let me tell you, it's not that special anymore...neither in terms of taste/quality of food nor the price. Also, service is very very inconsistent. Probably because the servers are always new here; they don't seem to last more than a couple of weeks. Maybe we should start frequenting other eateries in the area more often and ditch this place for a while.

super slow service. had lunch here 3 times over the last 2 months (because someone else wanted to go) and it always took over an hour to get fried appetizers and wings or burgers for lunch. TV's keep this place from 1 star. slow and overpriced. Would advise to go somewhere else.

Denny S.
Don't forget about the wing Tuesday!!! it's .60 cents every Tuesday. For that reason only it's worth the four stars...:) I've only eaten here once and usually order to go, however for the one time I ate here the service was good. I have to be honest that the wings will taste better when you eat in, when you take it home it turns soggy. Other than that, it's not a bad place to get wings when I'm craving for it.

I go to Buffalo Wild Wings all the time, at least once a week, and this was by far my worst experience at a Buffalo Wild Wings yet. I arrived at 12:10 and placed my drink and food order at the same time since I already knew what I wanted. I ordered off of the "quick" lunch menu a snack size boneless wings with buffalo chips. At 12:45 I still hadn't gotten any of my food. At that point my lunch break was almost over and asked that they put my food in a to go container. At 12:50 my food came out after a whopping 40 minute wait, not in the to go container I asked for. I took a bite of my wings expecting them to be extremely hot since the reasoning behind my wait was an extreme backup in the kitchen only to discover they were lukewarm. I gave her my credit card and by the time she came back I had ate half of my meal and boxed it up myself. No one offered to comp me anything, no one even sent a manager over to see how my meal was or anything. The manager passed by me multiple times in the 40 minutes I sat there with no food and didn't say a word. There were plenty of open tables so I'm not sure why there was such a backup. The man beside me ordered after me and made the wise decision to not wait any longer, put cash down for his beer, and left without food after a half hour.

Wings, sandwiches, appetizers, beer, tv's, sports, average service, loud environment, decent place to meet up with friends to socialize and watch a game. Salt and Vinegar traditional wings are still my "go to" at BWW. This one is a tad bit better than the Watchung location.

Good ever changing craft selection, draft and bottle. Stick to the wings and u can't go wrong, the other food is very sub par. The list of sauces or dry rubs is definitely one of the best around.

I think this place has a problem with checking/accepting customers. They denied serving me Alcohol because I have a Virginia state's drivers license and they did not "Feel like" it was real!!! They seem to have problems with most Indians visiting this place based on some other reviews.

My favorite chain to get wings, that's why they get four stars. Wings are crispier than Hoot$@s an their beer menu is huge, over 30 on tap not including their bottle selection. Service ha always been great as they are always attentive and checking in on you. Service may be different during game days as I usually go there when it's quiet. Service sometimes takes a turn for the worse when it's busy. Recommend when you go in groups and is busy that you order pitchers of beer so you don't have to keep waiting for service to come.

Buffalo Wild Wings is your typical sports dining establishment. Basically it's Hooters minus the attractive servers (which even Hooters fails at sometimes). This is my first time at this particular location, but I frequent BWW to watch UFC fights, boxing fights, etc. If not for that, I would not likely eat here, being I'm kinda of a foodie, and if I eat out, I prefer "real" restaurants. Anyways, on to the review. I thought the staff was above par at this location, we had a large party and we did not call ahead, but we were greeted nicely and they quickly rearranged some tables for us to sit. Our initial server was a really nice guy, but he was replaced by another gentleman (forgot his name), who was cool, but I thought he was kinda of a jerk to the other wait staff. Food was ok. I mean it's Buffalo Wild Wings. I ordered a chicken sandwich, it was good.

I've been to BWW before, but this location was nothing short of vile. The food was inedible. I will eat almost anything, and I barely touched my food and declined to bring it home. I did try a few bites of some of my friends dishes, and the only things that I found to be halfway decent were the French fries. The service was abominable. Avoid at all costs - I think there is a Houlihans right down the street where you can get much better food.

Come here about once or twice a month since they opened. Service is usually good. Except a few occasions. Usually I order the wings. The sauce usually I get a new sauce every time. I order them extra crispy because sometimes they are too soft. Also my favorite is the buffalo chips. With one of the seasonings.

Donna R.
This is a great place to watch football and eat some delicious wings with plenty of sauces and heat levels to choose from. They make many different types of drinks and they carry a wide variety of beers! There are always some kind of specials!For dessert you must try Cinnamon squares with chocolate sauce , it taste like french toast. and their chocolate cake with vanilla ice was also a big hit. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is casual. This is a great place to meet friends for a drink. and our waiter Nathan is the best!

5 for the wings, and a 3 for just about everything else... BWW might average slightly above 3 for me, just based on the fact that they have the best wings ever. I hate to say that a franchise has the BEST wings, but they really do. Haven't had a sauce yet that I don't like, I'm particularly fond of the Mango Habanero. I also like how they are generous with the carrot sticks/celery and don't charge for extra ranch (believe it or not, most places do). Service is below average to average. Not below average because of rudeness, but if you've ever been here when it's busy, you know what I mean. Regardless of how many people are working, there never seem to be enough servers/bartenders and everyone is always running around. I almost feel sorry for them, especially on wing Tuesdays and Thursdays when all the cheapskates come out and don't even tip 20% on the before-discounted bill. On our most recent trip, the bartender forgot our loaded fries but she made up for it by comping our next round. Ambience is mehhh (typical "chain" kind of vibe with horrible acoustics) and the menu (other than the wings) is mehhh. I've had a bunch of the apps and although none are horrible, none would really be worth ordering again. By far, the WORST part about BWW is the throngs of tweens/teens. Large groups, no parents, they are often clogging up the entrance area by standing around, heads down, texting, oblivious that staff and other patrons are trying to get around them. Their lazy parents drop them off right in the front, often taking several minutes for them to all unload out of minivans and Suburbans like a fucking clowncar, turning the front entrance into a clusterfuck "valet" zone. I don't know if there's anything management can do about this, but they should. Just keep it simple and go for wings and beer. Beer selection is deceiving. On first glance, you might think " what an awesome beer selection!" because they offer about 20 drafts. BUT take a closer look at them...most are garbage. I'm not into Pale Ales, they seem to have a lot of those as well as generic lager-type beers and your typical Bud/Coors/Miller varieties. They do have Newcastle (thumbs up), but no hefeweizens, pilsners, saison, Belgian-style ales, draft cider, etc.

Great spot for wings and beers. The caramel apple moonshine is delicious too. Ive had a few of their appetizers and they were less than apetizing. Their chicken nachos are gross. The chicken is a ground chicken that looks and tastes pretty bad! I had to send it back. They should just stick to wings.
(2)Ruth B.
Went last week, my second time. The bartender was so rude and acted like she didn't care. I don't have a name to add because she barley spoke to me and my co worker. The bar was so tight and the food is too expensive for what you get . 2 beers , fried pickles and wings and the bill is like 40 dollars. Way over rated I guess I'll stick to applebees.
(2)Joshua S.
For chicken and non chicken lovers alike, enjoy a variety of sauces and the burgers are to die for. Also while watching your favorite sports enjoy a basket of fries and nachos with cheese
(5)Brian H.
Very hit or miss. Not gonna lie, I go all the time. Mostly take out, but the kids will come and play with the iPads they have there and stuff. Plenty of TVs and such. Its not a 5 star. I dropped it from 4 to 3 because the food it hit or miss. The food is pretty inconsistent which stinks. Some nights its a waste of $10-15 on a take out meal. Some nights it's great.

So I find myself in Branchberg on Saturday with my daughter and we need to stop for lunch after her practice. I decide that I'm FINALLY going to stop in at Buffalo Wild Wings as it's been years since I've had the chance to eat at one and I've had great food there in the past. Now, I'm not in the mood for wings (for those that follow along, I'm one of the idiots who successfully completed the wing challenge at Cluck U), so I decide to get the crispy chicken sandwich with the 'wild' sauce (2nd hottest) to go. The very good looking young lady who took my order couldn't have been nicer and was helpful as the menu has changed in the 8 years since my last B-Dubs experience. I checked the place out while I waited for my food and I'm thinking this place must be great during big games- lots of TVs, great beer selection, great food. So I finally get my food...and that's where we start losing stars. First off, the lettuce and tomato on the sandwich look like they're from last week's leftover salads, and I don't mean premade salads I mean this looks like it came from someone's plate- disgusting...there goes one star. The onion rings are a greasy, oily, mess with no flavor-I ate two (hoped the first one was an anomaly-it wasn't)...oops there goes another star. Then the main event-the now veggie-less sandwich with thier 'wild' sauce and again-nothing but disappointment. Dry, tasteless chicken puck that they tried to save with the sauce...to no avail. A complete disaster of a lunch. I actually tossed half the sandwich and made a PB&J when I got home. There's a sandwich hat won't let you down... The only reason this place got two stars is that I've had good dining experiences in the past so I hope there's a chance they can redeem themselves. Such a disappointment...
(2)Mark S.
Ehh, not as good as the other locations, food was slow to come out, service wasn't good. Rather go to tequila joes or the other Buffalo Wild Wings in watchung. Give it two stars because have been there a few times and this place used to be good.
(2)Andrew S.
I give this place a 3.5 stars in comparison to all the other sports bars I been to. It's only slightly better than your average sports bar. Since I can't give this place a 3.5, I'm dropping it to a three rather than upping it to a four. Why? Because it could use a renovating in it's decor (unenthusiastic sports memorabilia) and seating (too close and cluttered) arrangement, but what can I say it's a sports bar chain centered around their wings and name. This place is good for it's location. Being non-local, we can't say much for what else is around but we drove around and this was the best prospect at the time. A diner down the road? Nah. Wendy's? Nah. KFC? it looked desolate or closed, so... Nah. At 11pm on a Friday night we're already down the I95, North on Interstate 287 and West on Route 22, for those coming from New York. The half full or is it half empty parking lot provides ample parking (it was not packed this night). The bright glowing overhead sign screams come in. And when we do, there stands a big screen bigger than the one in my living room, one plus star, then you notice all the other many television sets, they are all over the place, another star, cool. -The bar area has a wide array of different liquors and beers (bottled, tap and bottles to make mixers) -The waitresses have decent appearances and on the fairly positive side, I mean it was half way to midnight, you never know how long one's shift has been tabling all day. The speed of service was decent, about a 20 minute wait. -Every time I see mini burgers on a menu, I am enticed to order them. White Castle calls them "Sliders" and Burger King did the same. Buffalo Wild Wings has a similar on their appetizer menu called "Slammers". I ordered the Pulled Pork. The pork is more chunks than strings. The pork was soft, yet lightly meaty filling and flavorful because they were smothered in Wild sauce (my choice). The bread is a sort of a Roll bread: soft and chewy, but no where near the softness of the buns from a White Castle "Sliders". Accompanied with these mini burgers are fries which are thin and pretty plain. The Nachos and Chicken Quesadilla were good but on the average side. -We order two of their 24 wing platters, one order of the Mango Habanero and one order of the Spicy Garlic. I know my wings, these are pretty good. It's not the wings themselves that make them good because the chicken wings are not super crispy or farm fresh, but with the sauce and being cooked well, make these wings worth coming back for. I have had better at local pizza spots and bars that serve Buffalo wings. I guess Buffalo Wild Wings are somewhere above the middle. -This is no place for a date unless you like speaking loudly to your mate. Buffalo Wild Wings is good for a game night or with a bunch of college buddies or even maybe with your dad rooting for the Knicks, oh I mean the Nets.

OK, so after our last review we were contacted by the President of the company who owns the BW3 franchise. Steve was really upset by our experience; he said he "went through the roof" and made sure we knew there was "no corporate policy" about turning all TVs to UFC like the manager had told us. Steve contacted us through Yelp asking if he could "earn our business back." He gave us his personal email address and cell number. When Steve reached out to us we were encouraged to revisit BW3 Bridgewater and give it another shot. So we sent Steve an email and told him we were coming back (this was on Friday, Nov. 26) to watch another WVU game. Steve seemed really happy and told us that he reached out to the GM Brian who would "make sure we were taken care of" that night. Brian even called us and left a VM. He let us know Steve contacted him and that the WVU/ Pitt game would be on, "obviously" and that when we come in, ask for him so he could say hi. Here is our night: We came in and scored a table by the bar right away. Our server came over and took our order in what seemed like 30 seconds. Our Waiter Ronnie was someone who has waited on us before and always provides great service. He even salted our napkins before putting our beers down. Yes, the WVU Pitt game was on the big screen TV and a few others, as were all the other games going on last night. The sound that was on was for a basketball game so we heard squeaky sneakers all night. Once we had our drinks we asked Ronnie if Brian was around and he said he would check. We ordered food and were enjoying the game, we asked about Brian about 30 min later and we were told he was off tonight but Ronnie said that he "texted" him. Another manager came over and said to us, "I guess you are the guys that called about the WVU game? We put on for ya." Then he walked away. That was all from management. We enjoyed the rest of our night paid our bill in full and left. We were a little disappointed because no one recognized or apologized for our previous visit when we were lied to by management about how they couldn't change ANY of the TVs from UFC to accommodate the game we were watching. If the President of a company reaches out to a customer you should do more than just have one of the bigger games on TV that night on the big screen TV. We didn't come looking for a freebie but an apology for our last visit from a manager in person would have been nice, or maybe even a half price app to recognize we are trying to give your BWW another shot. The sad thing is, A started going to BWW back when it was BW3's (Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck) about 15 years ago when she attended WVU. She was so excited when they were now being built in NJ, as it was her favorite place to watch sports, and she had an affinity for the place since her college days. We used to drive all the way to the North Brunswick location until the Bridgewater one opened up. We chose to drive past the Watchung location because the Bridgewater one was bigger and the service was better. She was a true loyal customer and introduced me, along with many other friends, to BWW.

Hooters + Chuckey Cheese = Buffalo Wild Wings Awsome wings many different styles to choose from (must try Asian flavor) cool part about it is you get to play poker or trivia on the screens while your eating. Overall good spot for a hangout.

A fun hangout after work if you are in the Bridgewater/ Raritan area.. Its always fun ordering the wings from the long list of "hot levels", and I like the setting, because its a perfect hangout with collegues.. The garlic parmesan wings were worth a second order, and the hot wings were gone before I could get to them, so thats definitely what you need to aim for... Also, I like the mango harbenaro .. I usually prefer my wings very hot :) What I dont like is probably the stools, because, they feel uncomfortable after a while, and its a pain to try keeping your coat off the floor. I ordered a black cherry mojito, and it tasted just like black cherry juice, which was disappointing, especially since NJ is usually better about making good drinks than NYC.. I ordered a second one, and it was even sweeter than the first, at which point i just had to say no more..

I have eaten almost zero chicken in the past ten years but for some reason had to experience the hot wings at the Blazin level. The result? I enjoyed them -- Blazing is definitely hot but not so crazy as to be uneatable. So far so good, but then came the fish tacos I ordered. They were okay but certainly not what I expected. For the most part you could describe them as a fillet wrapped by shredded lettuce and a soft taco shell -- not much 'taco' to the taco. The reason to go back would be for the wings of fire and before I do I would try to find a better experience somewhere else.
(2)Kristen M.
Wings are pretty good (not the best I've had) and lots of sauce options Other food is meh Service is hit or miss Great place to kick back a few pints and watch a game, though
(3)Laura J.
This place since it opened had been my go to for football Sundays, trivia, and wing s. As a person who cannot drink beer the drinks are very expensive! They finally had a good thing with Angry Orchard on tap and they got rid of it!!!! Seriously? $5-$6 a bottle its outrageous! You can get a six pack for $8.99!!!! Finding a new NFL hangout. Good bye bww!!

*2.5 Stars* New chain restaurant in the Bridgewater, NJ area. Bartenders are attentive but their food service is terrible! Waited 40 mins for wings...really? Your food staple which you churn through hundreds an hour and you still manage to F that up? No apologies either...the beers are abundant but pricey. Even when we got the wings, they were small. Paid $10 for a dozen...rip off. Their numerous flavors are cool but come on! Make them bigger, plumper, juicier...better! Their burger are THE worst I have ever tried. Threw half of it out...fries were less than desirable. My gf had the fish taco's (breaded and deep fried). They were decent which raised my star status from 0 to 2 (and plenty of TV's which is nice). Overall it's on the lower end of chain restaurants.
(2)Mike S.
You get what you pay for. The wing sauce selection is the best part about BWW. Try the Caribbean Jerk or Asian Zing if you like the best tasting ones. Beer prices aren't that bad either, I normally get Budweiser when I'm there. It's a great place to go with friends and watch a game. They have multiple TVs set up all around the restaurant, so no matter where you are you can see any game you'd like. The biggest game of the night is on the biggest TV right in front of the bar, so if you came just for that game, you'll have easy access to watching it.
(3)Warren B.
I wish the wings were larger. These must be the smallest chickens in America. Bantam chickens have larger wings and they're like pigeon size. Ok flavor, fast service, yet, something was missing. Too much attention to all the details is almost as bad as not enough, does that make sense? The wings were flavorful enough... I'm not a sports guy to the barrage of sports everywhere you look was distracting. Maybe they should do wings in two sizes? Extra small and normal?
(2)Allison U.
Some of the best service I've ever experienced, so I'd like to make a Yelp out (?) to our amazing waiter Jay!! We all thought he was the best! This place is great for dinner & drinks with a few friends -prepare for a noisy atmosphere, after all it IS a sports bar! -The Occasion: My boyfriend and I have been meaning to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for a while now, so when my brother suggested it for a Friday night, we were more than willing to try it! -The Atmosphere: Picture a wide-open sports bar with tons of tables, people, energy, and televisions. Perfection. -The Service: Jay was the man of the night. First off, when we moved from the bar to our table he explained how he always keeps an eye on our drinks and refills without anyone asking 3 times.. after that he will ask if we would life a refill. Can you say awesome? Now I must admit, I did have my doubts... but when that last drop was gone, a new beer magically appeared. He was on it. He also knew that menu like the back of his hand, was so helpful with picking seasonings and sauces. He wasn't over the top or flaky.. he came off as a nice guy doing his job flawlessly. -The Menu: buffalowildwings.com/dow… A huuuge variety of wing flavors - on my mouth is already watering thinking about it! Flavors ranged from sweet, to spicy, to mild, to sweet and spicy, to mild with a hint of sweet... the list goes on. The meals all had decent descriptions, and their beer list was normal. -The Food: We chose an appetizer of 3 different types of wings (we ALL know how to eat...). My brother selected something like a mango-habanero sauce, I chose chipotle bbq seasoning and the boy grabbed some spicy garlic flavor. They were all incredible! I hate to use the expression, but it truly was an explosion of flavor in my mouth!! Yumm. For my meal I chose the chickien wrap again with the chipotle seasoning - delllicious and sooo filling! -The Total: For 3 meals, about 9 beers and the wings I believe the total was in the $80's. -The Experience: If you couldn't tell... we all had a wonderful time!! Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend if you are looking for a fun night out!

I have nothing bad to say about this place - it is what it is, a place to get wings and beer while watching sports on dozens of TVs. In fact, it's superior to the BWW a few miles east in Watchung in one key way - the selection of beers on tap is much better here. Bar service is usually great; table service could be better but it's not horrible. A thing to look for is their specials at certain hours on certain nights - I stopped here once just for 6 wings and one Dogfish Head IPA and my bill was about $5.20 - ridiculously low because I happened to hit a wings special and a draft beer special at the same time. Other than that, everything here is exactly like the other 5 or so BWW's I've been to in my life.
(3)Mike R.
Skimpy fried mushrooms. Had to ask for sugar for iced tea at least 3 times. Wrong dressing on salad. Nasty tomato on burger. Really?
(2)Domenic F.
I love wings. Places like this are more reasons why I am fat. The place has a great vibe to it and tv's everywhere. The menu is simple, wings, bar food and beer. We had ordered some wings here with the Mrs and baby and we truly enjoyed them. My only complaint is the service. On a Saturday afternoon when they were CLEARLY staffed appropriately as there were a lot of staff, we had to wait for drinks. That's a big pet peeve of mine! The wings were not the largest and for the normal price wings, it disappoints me that we got 12 of the smallest wings you've ever seen. I love the concept and I love the place itself, but come on man have a little meat on them bones! The boneless wings were a positive here, they were plumb and nicely juicy. I have also been here on a Tuesday when the wings are 1/2 price! They also have 1/2 price boneless wings Thursdays! A special note to people is that you can get the 1/2 price wings on either Tuesday or Thursday to go, so if you need to eat at home or want to eat in your underwear...then by all means get em to go!
(3)Ian N.
I am a chicken wing fan, and these were awesome. We went for a UFC event, and they didn't charge a cover or jack up the price of beer. In fact, they still had beer specials. We did 50 wings for 4 people, and appetizers were 1/2 price at a certain time, so we had a feast and tried lots of flavors. I like it hot, and the hottest flavor here made me sweat. The wings were large, the sauces were good, no breading- it's everything you want in a wing. The other appetizers... well the nachos were terrible and the sliders may as well have been full sized burgers. But hey, its called Buffalo Wild Wings, and the wings did not disappoint. Considering that all the chicken wings in metuchen come from Italian restaurants, have breading and are small, this is the only acceptable place to get a decent wing.
(5)Andrew M.
Wings were decent. Got boneless wings with a jalepeno sauce. Beer selection is ok. If you come here on the odd hours, food and drinks are real cheap. I will probably come here again to see a sports event. Seems like it could be a good time.
(3)Jessica M.
So I went here with some friends..First it was crowded as expected but they had a table in the bar area which was fine, albeit you cant move your chair or you may hit the person sitting behind you or someone walking by. I asked waiter for his opinion on the wings, he told me be careful with the jalapeno ones and he would not go any higher unless i wanted my mouth on fire..lol. Well I took the advice, and had Jalapeno ones - they were not even close to hot,more like sweet to me : 0 So overall, I was very dissapointed in my wing choices. The wings arent even that great to me, not alot to them. Dont get me wrong I guess if people go to watch sports and drink and have wings it could be a great time. But to come here for dinner, I dont think I would...I wasnt that impressed at least at the one in Bridgewater. I will try another location and see if I think differently.
(2)Michael T.
Food is great at BWW! Fried pickles are an awesome appetizzer. For entrees I LOVE the boneless wings with Asian Zing sauce and fries with queso. They are always good wings and NEVER fatty. This is just a good place to get food and an AWESOME place for food and sports. Great on NFL football Sundays! Staff are usually pretty good for the most part as well.
(4)Drew P.
Return trips to BWW have been less than enjoyable. Do the young staff in their ill-fitting, drab jerseys, get trained to be so sullen? This present group seems put off by the term "Service". The fried food here is not that good that they can get away with a loud environment and bad service.
(2)Wendy P.
Worst food and they cant even make drinks. Very Very loud but ok to watch fights.
(1)Jamie C.
Disgruntled staff. Terrible service. Poor hygiene. On two separate occasions the waitress disappeared for a half hour. Refused booth seating, despite completely empty booths. Waiter was pissing in a bush in the parking lot. Come on BWW!
(1)Andrew S.
Although I am well aware that the boneless chicken wings are frozen, I DON'T CARE. Their sauce selection is awesome and I LOVE THIS PLACE. This is my guilty pleasure. Amazing for take out on game days. So glad one opened up closer to me!
(3)G D.
Decent food, decent prices... and lots of TVs. Works for me!
(4)Mike M.
Recently came across this location through a friend who works here PT after having a negative experience at a different location. The service for lunch was terrific. The wings were solid and came out promptly. The only thing even close to a negative was that I ordered 2 different sauces but the wings seemed on top of each other. I'm newly working in the area so look forward to going back.
(4)Scott Y.
Where to start? Mismanagement, or disappointing food? How about I just go chronologically? I had never been to Buffalo Wild Wings before. My wife told me that their mango habanero boneless wings were awesome. So I was excited to try them. I didn't know anything about the set-up. I was actually expecting it to be more of a take-out place than a sit-down dining establishment. I mention this so that you understand that I wasn't exactly expecting Daniel Boulud to bring my wings out to me and tell me about all of the exotic spices that he used to season them. I was expecting the food to be decent, though. It wasn't. So we ended up ordering the appetizer sampler with boneless wings in garlic sauce. If everything on the sampler other than the boneless wings had sucked, I would have thought that it was our own stupidity for ordering non-wing items at a wing place. Actually, everything on the appetizer sampler sucked... including the wings. It didn't have anything to do with the chicken. The pieces of chicken were decent pieces of chicken, and were cooked fine. The garlic sauce was just terrible. My wife agreed. OK, fine. Garlic sauce isn't a typical "wing place" sauce, and my wife (who swore the mango habanero sauce was awesome) didn't like the garlic sauce either. So I should be patient and wait for the mango habanero boneless wings. First were the "buffalo chips." I assumed, wrongly, that these would be potato chips with a buffalo flavor. (I had also factored in a small probability that the appetizer would have actually been something made from the actual buffalo animal, like a chipped beef but with bison meat. I was giving that about a 2% probability, and actually probably would have preferred that to what I got.) "Chips" to me implies thinly sliced potatoes, which are fried to the point where they are hard, and can be cracked. What we were actually served would more aptly be described as baked potato slices with cheese on top and absolutely no buffalo seasoning (or buffalo meat). So they weren't really buffalo or chips. My wife really liked them, though. I don't like baked or boiled potatoes, and these tasted somewhere between the two. As our final course, we had boneless mango habanero wings. Ah, the moment I've been waiting for. An item that is going to be good. Nope. My hopes were dashed. You know how a good wing is hot, but the heat comes after the flavor, and is cumulative with each bite? Yeah, this wasn't like that. The heat came on first. So you never tasted mango, or anything else for that matter. You just tasted the heat. Anybody can do that. Just cut open a hot pepper. Cut those little white ribs out, and use that in your sauce. That's not a good wing. The mismanagement part comes in with the staff. Our waitress was really hustling (which is part of the reason for the second star), but it seemed like about 75% of the staff was either sitting around doing nothing, or wasting their time lobbying the hostesses to get the parties that looked like they were going to spend more. Meanwhile, those hostesses were busy assigning tables in an absurd rotation that caused the few servers who were working hard to have all of their tables ordering at the same time. One of the managers had apparently recognized that things were going fairly wrong, but instead of trying to fix it by getting her staff in line, she decided to help bussing tables. FYI: If you can't handle the tables you have, cleaning the empty tables to seat more people should be your last priority. So, they got a second star because our waitress was really hustling, and because my wife liked the putrid potato things. Other than that, everything was terrible.
(2)Cliff R.
My first time to BWW - Wow...was the food bad. You'd be better off going to the Station Pub and Grub in Bernardsville NJ if you want really good wings. The 'formula' restaurant they use here creates a fake menu and overdone, over-seasoned food that tastes cheap but is overpriced. I can't say I'll ever go back. The noise level was deafening - good luck trying to have a conversation anywhere in the place. It's just loud, loud, loud.
(1)Darren B.
You would think they would know how to make wings...well think again. I ordered four varieties, Medium, Caribbean, Azian zing, spicy garlic. They were over cooked and had close to zero sauce. Only wings worse were from Domino's. I called they were going to give me 24 new wings. Don't think I will ever go and redeem that.
(1)Richie G.
Nothing in this place is actually cooked!!!!! Nachos had canned chili---burgers were frozen ---macaroni and cheese out of the box---- had chicken Ceasar salad ,chicken was ice cold premixed with dressing served in a gross scoop- this place is all hype. do not believe the commercials - it stinks!!!
(1)Cinthia G.
Food is good... onion rings are my favorite. Service was OK... I would probably go back for wings and onion rings. Drinks are really cheap there too 6 bucks for a margarita

This is your place if you like noise, sports, and mediocre food. Sorry, I just made the wrong choice because it is always so busy that I thought it is because it just might be good. It is child friendly if your children are noisy & you don't want anyone to complain. We sat in a booth across from a couple with 4 pre-teens who gawked at the TVs above us while yelling. We thought they were waiting to be served so it would be a long wait for us but they were watching TV & nursing their sodas for a very long time. Our toddlers had trouble eating the chicken bites (long strips of chicken with a crispy coating too hard to chew. My chicken artichoke flatbread needed some bite so I waited for a long time then requested hot sauce (and a booster seat) then went to the hostess & was accommodated quickly. The flat bread was $10, thought a little too much for the size. The jerk chicken sandwich was good said my husband. The wings may be great but there will be no next time for me.
(2)Linda N.
If you are 21 to 29, this is your place. Beer selection is incredible. TV's everywhere and the place is LOUD. Not much in the way of atmosphere. Looks like they could put the chairs up on the tables and clean the whole place out with a firehose. We sat at the bar - one bartender very friendly and trying his best to handle a big crowd. The other woman working with him didn't crack a smile the whole time and looked angry with the world. Ordered a burger and some appetizers. I have to say the food was absolutely the worst I have ever eaten. Who messes up a cheese quesadilla? BWW can. It had the most unbelievably awful combination of seasonings that I have ever experienced. Burgers only come medium-well. That equals dried out and overcooked. The queso cheese dip with chips was of a quality comparable to the cafe car in an Amtrack train (although I think Amtrack wins on this one.) Honestly can' t think of a single thing that would entice me to return here.
(1)Toni D.
It is really hard for me to write this review. I had a horrible experience here. We went for Mother's day because I am easy to please. I've been wanting to try this place forever and all the other restaurants were mobbed. It looked like a fun place where the kids could be loud. They offer sugar free red bull on the menu. I was super excited. Not many places do that. Of course they were out. I was disappointed but it is forgivable let us move on. I was going to get wings but there was an awesome looking juicy steak burger that caught my eye. It had two patties, steak strips, pepper jack cheese, onion rings covered in any wing sauce. OMG, amazing! I go with that. The waiter took our order and after he left the table it instantly occurred to me that he didn't ask me how I wanted my burger or steak cooked. I am so picky with that. I can not swallow anything besides medium rare. After 15 minutes we finally find him and I say I don't remember telling you but I need my burger medium rare. He then explains to me that all their burgers are "precooked" medium well. YUCK!!!!!! At this point, my burger is 1 minute from coming out. He says, if I don't like it, they will make me something else. I am so annoyed at this point, I don't want anything else. He brings the burger and watches me take a bite. I obviously hate it. It is not only well done it is charred. DOUBLE YUCK. I am not one to complain or exchange food. I have heard too many horror stories. I felt very conflicted because I wanted everyone to leave me alone with my gross food but they were trying their best to be nice. He came over, the manager came over. He came over again. Now the person I am with is arguing with me to get another meal. It really was very uncomfortable. Like I said, they were trying to be nice but I didn't want anything anymore. Maybe I was being a brat, I don't know. I just didn't want to wait for a new dish plus I had the issue of God knows what they will do to it in the back. I just wish they would have told me how the burgers were cooked when I ordered it. I usually say medium rare as soon as I order beef however we had the kids and they were being kids. The whole precooked burger and steak thing didn't sit right with me. I would say go here for wings and beer. So sad because I wanted to love this place. I never though I would have left with such a weird experience.
(2)Michael P.
This place had a lot of potential, but their terrible management and awful staff ruined it for me and my friends. I went every Sunday for 2 months straight with friends, and each time I hoped that the previous time was just a one-off. They are clueless. They are generally friendly, but untrained. They never know what the specials are and frequently communicate the wrong ones. One time, this criminal looking guy even said "oh you guys would already know what they are." Then, every week, drinks would take 20+ minutes to arrive. How complicated is it to pour a beer? They have many levels of management, from staff to supervisor or manager to general manager. Many were present--all were stupid. They are never on the same page and aren't sure of their own policies. They definitely don't care about retaining business. Please avoid. I'm going to try Green Knoll Grille as my new Sunday afternoon hangout.

This is the 2nd BWW to open up in the area (the other is a little further down Route 22 in Watchung). This location has taken over the old Lonestar Steakhouse spot - right in the middle of Route 22. I was pretty excited to give this place a shot, as this is the most convenient BWW to where I live. When I first walked in, I actually thought it was going to be bigger. There are TV's everywhere and the restaurant is split into 2 sections - the main dining area and the bar area. Unlike other BWW's, the bar area is not seat yourself. You have to give your name to be seated there, which I thought was strange. I really think they should change that, especially when most of the tables in the bar were empty anyway. My wife and I grabbed a beer at the bar and were able to get a bar table pretty quickly. The place was pretty packed and our waitress was very good. This place definitely has some kinks to work out but it just opened and I totally give them a pass. It seemed like the guys bringing food out had no idea where it was going. We were asked at least half a dozen times if we ordered something that we hadn't. We started out with an order of the wings - how can you not? While I don't think the wings are anything spectacular, I am starting to really like them. They probably have at least 15 different sauces and rubs to choose from. I also had a burger and it was very good. I like the bun they use and I also like the thin shoestring type fries. For having been open less than a week, the service was pretty good. I am sure that it will improve a little over time and I really hope they turn the bar into a seat yourself area. A couple of sidenotes - I counted and they have 30 beers on tap and a great bottle selection. Absolutely incredible. Also, you can only exit the parking lot and get on 22 East, not west. This is a solid burger/wing and beer type place and a very good spot to watch a game. It is a phenomenal addition to the area.
(3)John O.
I've been here a bunch of times. Wait staff is good and pretty much on the ball. I was participating in their 30/30 promotion. The 30/30 is you try thirty beers they have on tap and 30 beers they have in bottles and you get 100 free wing party. Wings are ok, they have a lot of sauces you can choose. It's ok, and a fun for a friday happy hour.

I stopped in to Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday with some friends to get drinks. It was my first time at this location, but not my first time at a Buffalo Wild Wings since I have been to the one in North Brunswick. Overall I just don't think BWW is my kind of place. First off it's a chain and if you have read any of my reviews you know I hate chains. I also feel like I'm back in 5th grade in the middle school cafeteria. There is hardly any separation between the bar area and the dining room plus they pack tables and people in here like sardines. Give me a tray and some sloppy joe sandwiches and it will be the complete cafeteria experience. It's also somewhat of a sensory overload. Between the 50 TVs they have and the constant screaming by people in the bar area it can get outright annoying. A couple positives about BWW was there beer selection and the service we were given by our waitress. They have a full wall of beer taps. I'm not sure the exact number, but I would say somewhere around 25. Many of them are micro brews and hard to fund beers which is always nice. Our waitress was great and brought everything we needed very quickly. This was the exact opposite experience of when I visited there North Brunswick location. Even with the couple of positives I just mentioned I would skip this place and choose a local sports bar. You'll find much more character at places like that.
(2)Rich P.
Don't come here for the tiny wings! Try something else. Service was very good. Food was ok. I have never seen such small wings served and it is the name of the place!
(3)Kevin B.
The restaurant was very loud despite being only half full. After 10 minutes waiting for our server no one arrived. We opted to move outside which was much quieter despite the traffic on US 22. Our server was pleasant and promptly brought us our drink order. The food was another matter. We were waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally some gentleman came by to ask if we were waiting for our food which we said we were. He leaves then our food arrives and the wings are not crisp but soggy. They don't leave any napkins nor plates. The woman at the next table offers us her spare napkins and paper dishes. She also tells us that she has been at the other BWW in the area and it is just as bad. Try it yourself if you must but otherwise avoid it. It's just not worth the aggravation.
(1)William C.
Decided to try this location, after going to another one. There is not enough parking, and this place gets over- crowded very quick. It was so bad yesterday, that when people were finally called for a table in the bar area, by the time they got over there, the table was gone. Reason being, some of the waitresses were letting folks at the bar take open tables not meant for them. The food here was ok, but its just too small inside.. The one located on route 1 is better... Oh, if you sit in bar area, it does get cold over there.
(2)Chong C.
now that the initial opening rush has passed, it's become much easier to get a table. the nachos are good (i dunno what they season the chips with, but it's pretty tasty). i've found that the crust on the wings has become less and less crispy since they've opened, so i always ask for them well done. the bf likes the grilled chicken wrap, but avoid the naked tenders like the plague - they are dry and nasty.
(3)Zarns F.
God awful. If you like noise and weird food, maybe but this place is a real disappointment after Lone Star which had this space. I can't imagine any sane person going here twice.
(1)Laura S.
Great service, but the food is usually terrible.

I live for wings! Not my favorite spot since it's almost like a fast food mentality but it's ok

We stopped here the night of the Women's World Cup final (June 5, 2015) and, as expected, it was packed, standing room only, with a wait. Not our usual type of place, but it was close to match time. We checked the bar and saw a table occupied with backpacks and motorcycle helmets. When we asked the hostess about it, she said "somebody put them there" and a server said "it's not my station" when the hostess asked her. We gave our name for the list and stood at the bar for drinks and to watch the match. After about an hour or so wait, we were seated in the main restaurant area, which was fine, as there are TVs everywhere. The helmets seemed to have left around that time as well. Our server was attentive. Food came out relatively quickly, and was OK. Our main problem was how management could allow a server to lose money on a table by letting inanimate objects occupy a table and basically take money out of a server's pockets.

I've always liked wings especially boneless, but I was disappoint when I got my order. It looked like they defrosted some bad chicken from shoprite and poured sauce on top barley covering all areas of the chicken. It wasn't fresh and completely cold. Just think of the bad fried chicken from middle school you used to get. However, they did bring back out my order hot, but it still looked the same, defrosted chicken with sauce poured on top. The quality of the food was below average. It was crunchy. I've had better boneless wings at other restaurants like Friday, Chillis, and Applebee's. I've had better wings at another Buffalo Wild Wings in California and the quality there was 10X better then this restaurant. For being a wings place they definitely failed for producing good tasty wings.

Go for lunch, it's always fun at the bar! The regulars have always been friendly and inclusive.

I would need to come here for apps/happy hour/sports day to upgrade or downgrade. This is an average Buffalo Wild Wings and what you would expect from a chain restaurant in a town with little boxes on a hillside, little boxes made out of ticky tacky. I was here with a group of 8 people. Our server was nice enough. She met our expectations with providing our drinks timely and handling the large orders. She was also able to take a to go order and have it out in time for us before we left. The food was average calorie dense Buffalo Wild Wings food. So imagine: FRIED, greasy, cheesy crap that would wreck anyone's diet. It was tasty for what it was. I had the fish tacos. Would suggest if you don't feel like eating chickens. The buffalo Mac and cheese was popular at our table. But I didn't eat that. Probably was too dense for me. So I probably won't come back unless I'm invited out to watch a game on TV. But for a chain, it's a-okay and if that's your thing, this is a good spot.

Everything here is just "fine" and I mostly only go because my boyfriend loves BWW. I too enjoy the food but the service is not the best. They are usually pretty packed here and the amount of times our table has been checked up on are far and few in between with dirty plates not taken away from apps when we have our entrees.

Terrible waiter. Threw spoons at our table due to to bad tip for terrible service. To compensate the manager gave us expired coupons. Go if you want to ruin your good time. Wings were good.

I don't know why this restaurant has only 2 1/2 stars :( It was clean, the food came out fast, the food was good and hot, the service was friendly and on top of everything.

Love Buffalo Wild Wings! I get food from this Bridgewater location all the time since it opened and have no complaints. I even buy the sauces from them. Highly suggest you go to this Buffalo Wild Wings location!

Place is pretty decent. Great for drinks and wings. They have so many flavor. The mango habanero was way hotter than at any other restaurant! The hot wings are good. So is the honey mustard wings and Chipotle bbq.

Came here on New Year's Day for the cure for what ailed us. This apparently is the place to go if you need some calorie-dense, post-imbibing food. We opted for the boneless wings, cheese fries, and a pulled pork sandwich. The cheese on the fries was very stingy. They could have doubled the cheese dosage and it still would not have been enough. The boneless wings were good (I don't do bones) and the pulled pork sandwich was flavorful, albeit a bit fatty. I didn't really love their fries. They were a bit overdone for my liking. Our server Carlton was fantastic. He was so upbeat and so friendly. He really made the experience fun for us. He knew that this was my first time at BWW and he explained the way the menu works and the different options I could choose. The restaurant was super clean and none of the waitstaff looked even remotely annoyed about having to work on New Year's Day. Kudos to them for that!

The wings were horrible. Nothing worse than biting into a wing with undercooked skin on it. Wings should have a crisp outside.
(2)Sandra W.
There were 9 of us they only brought out 7 orders. The 2 orders came out when everyone else was done. Two of the first 7 orders that came out where salads that were supposed to come with chicken but there was no chicken in the salads. If you want beer and wings I'm sure the place is fine. But if you want a meal don't waste your time. They didn't charge us for the meals they screwed up but I would have rather paid and not been aggravated.
(1)Taylor D.
Thursday nights are the only time I come here. Can't beat the 60 cent wings. Service is usually attentive and aware unless they are eating and not paying attention to the tables. Food comes out quickly unless it's a really business night during a game or 6-7pm any night of the week. The only complaint is that it's very loud but that's to be expected from a sports bar. Other than that, great place but I suggest take out if you want to eat in a more comfortable less noisy atmosphere!

This review is for service. I feel it's very hard to get good service around here anymore. First and foremost I don't understand this trend where a waiter and or manager feel the need to pull up a chair and sit down at our table to take our order. I'm sure they are very nice people but I don't want them sitting down at my table. Next order of business, if this poor guy got any of our order right besides our beer id be surprised. Repeated the order twice and still got it wrong. I throughly enjoy my salt and vinegar fries since I don't really eat fries anymore. He brings out plane Jane fries and I point out that we ordered salt and vinegar. I know it's just a seasoning they put on but there was no need to just add a tiny dose on top and you could barely taste it. So annoying. What is the point of having promotions if NO ONE knows what the hell it is!?!? I got an email promotion for a free snack size wings for my birthday and decided to use it today. Well I was wrong!! Told the guy and showed him my email for the free snack size wings and he looked at me like I had 10 heads!! Then says he's going to get the manager. After the third attempt at this he gets the manager and we ordered our snack size wings. Never came and when we were done eating our waiter asked about the snack size. We were there an hour in a half and had repeatedly asked about the stupid snack size wings (only because my kids would eat them on top of their meal). It was my daughters birthday and we know from past experience that the cake is a HUGE piece so my husband ordered ONE piece of cake and 3 small ice cream scoops. We figured they could split the big piece of cake and each got a vanilla scoop of ice cream. No instead we got THREE pieces of chocolate cake and THREE ice cream scoops....absolutely ridiculous!! They are small children not teenagers or young adults even!! The Buffalo Wild Wings in Woodbridge is great and that's usually the one we go to or Watchung. I can guarantee we will not be coming to the Bridgewater location again. ****Our waiter did recommend the limited time Blue Moon wings and they were really good****

The food here is WAY over-priced for the quality & small portions. Ordered a flatbread and it was decent but the chicken on it was dry. The bahama mama I ordered was great. And the fudge chocolate cake I had was to die for. But anything other than the wings on the menu is not worth the money and tastes like it sits in a freezer in the back and they just heat it up. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful. He said he had been working since 10 am and by this time it was 7 pm and he looked like he was about to fall on his face but he still tried his best to accommodate us.
(3)Lydia T.
Finally made the decision to go here and see what all the hype was about, and sad to say that this place did not live up to my expectations. Staff was friendly and attentive, however the food was disappointing. My husband ordered the steak wrap, we were expecting actual steak but what we got was frozen thin sliced cheesesteak type beef. Horrible. I expected my wings to be amazing since that is what this place is most famous for, but I found them to be nothing special. They were just like the wings I could get from any local pizzeria. Won't be coming back here any time soon!
(2)Liz R.
I ordered large boneless wings and one of the wings looked really nasty when I opened it. I lost my appetite and decided to leave, so most of the food went to waist. I won't be going there anymore.

I guess you have to know what your coming for. Came for lunch during the week, plenty of space, tons of tvs seems like a great place to watch the games. I didn't have any wings (gasp) I know I know... So I can't comment on that... But I did have plenty of appetizers and a sandwich. If we didn't get the app samplers I would have not wanted to order anything else, the nachos were a bad excuse for what nachos should be, mostly lettuce a bit of beans ... Onion rings were mediocre... I sliced through it looked like it was made out of batter only. Mozzarella sticks were fine very middle of the line. The one thing I tried here was the fried pickles which I was soooo confused about but they were actually really interesting. Got the make your own sandwich... I felt like a 10 year old making a sandwich in the kitchen. It was literally a bun (nothing special) a piece of chicken (looked like the chicken breast tenders I buy frozen in a bag of 20/$5, a slice of cheese melted on top. I get that's what I ordered but it was so basic I almost got angry that I paid $12 for something - the SAME exact thing I could make at home for a fraction. Honestly you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. The beer selection is great, good to watch games, but the food was oh so lacking.
(3)James D.
Came in for a craft beer (Stone specifically, which used to be on tap). This place used to have good craft beers (as advertised *eyeroll*) but now it's basically bottom of the barrel Blue Moon/Stella crap. There are much better eateries and places to grab a good beer in this area. Avoid, this place sucks.
(1)Maggie M.
So busy on a Tuesday which is great for them. Love all the tvs and of course we come here for the wings! The bar was full and we couldn't sit there cause there were 2 children couldn't have been older then six taking up 3 bar stools so we had to go sit in the dinning room. I later noticed one the servers with the little girls and was really annoyed that they let their children sit at the bar and take away spots from paying customers that are of legal age. Working in the industry I know you can't have anyone under the age of 21 sitting at the bar! Other then that our waitress (Libria- I think her name was) was great and the food was awesome like always.
(3)John M.
Must be nice to be the only game in town. Even taking into effect that it was a football Sunday, the service was poor at best. They were out of some of the beers on the menu and when I selected one it took forever to get. The worst part is they did not bring all of the drinks or food together. Then the portion size on the food was dismal and to top it off they only gave half a slice of cheese on my cheeseburger. Not a place to go if you want good food or service.
(1)Karen L.
Drinks are mediocre food over rated service crappyI def wish there was a Chilis on this piece of land instead!!!!!
(1)Liliana D.
Restaurant is clean, nice employees and I've never had a problem with my food or drinks. My brother, boyfriend and I only go to this BWW as there is hardly ever a wait, which is 2-3 times a month. Only positive feedback here
(5)Sang L.
I go to this place every Tuesday with my colleagues for their wings specials on that day. Let me tell you, it's not that special anymore...neither in terms of taste/quality of food nor the price. Also, service is very very inconsistent. Probably because the servers are always new here; they don't seem to last more than a couple of weeks. Maybe we should start frequenting other eateries in the area more often and ditch this place for a while.
(2)Joe P.
super slow service. had lunch here 3 times over the last 2 months (because someone else wanted to go) and it always took over an hour to get fried appetizers and wings or burgers for lunch. TV's keep this place from 1 star. slow and overpriced. Would advise to go somewhere else.
(2)Denny S.
Don't forget about the wing Tuesday!!! it's .60 cents every Tuesday. For that reason only it's worth the four stars...:) I've only eaten here once and usually order to go, however for the one time I ate here the service was good. I have to be honest that the wings will taste better when you eat in, when you take it home it turns soggy. Other than that, it's not a bad place to get wings when I'm craving for it.

I go to Buffalo Wild Wings all the time, at least once a week, and this was by far my worst experience at a Buffalo Wild Wings yet. I arrived at 12:10 and placed my drink and food order at the same time since I already knew what I wanted. I ordered off of the "quick" lunch menu a snack size boneless wings with buffalo chips. At 12:45 I still hadn't gotten any of my food. At that point my lunch break was almost over and asked that they put my food in a to go container. At 12:50 my food came out after a whopping 40 minute wait, not in the to go container I asked for. I took a bite of my wings expecting them to be extremely hot since the reasoning behind my wait was an extreme backup in the kitchen only to discover they were lukewarm. I gave her my credit card and by the time she came back I had ate half of my meal and boxed it up myself. No one offered to comp me anything, no one even sent a manager over to see how my meal was or anything. The manager passed by me multiple times in the 40 minutes I sat there with no food and didn't say a word. There were plenty of open tables so I'm not sure why there was such a backup. The man beside me ordered after me and made the wise decision to not wait any longer, put cash down for his beer, and left without food after a half hour.

Wings, sandwiches, appetizers, beer, tv's, sports, average service, loud environment, decent place to meet up with friends to socialize and watch a game. Salt and Vinegar traditional wings are still my "go to" at BWW. This one is a tad bit better than the Watchung location.
(3)Richard R.
Good ever changing craft selection, draft and bottle. Stick to the wings and u can't go wrong, the other food is very sub par. The list of sauces or dry rubs is definitely one of the best around.
(3)A R.
I think this place has a problem with checking/accepting customers. They denied serving me Alcohol because I have a Virginia state's drivers license and they did not "Feel like" it was real!!! They seem to have problems with most Indians visiting this place based on some other reviews.
(1)Shaun T.
My favorite chain to get wings, that's why they get four stars. Wings are crispier than Hoot$@s an their beer menu is huge, over 30 on tap not including their bottle selection. Service ha always been great as they are always attentive and checking in on you. Service may be different during game days as I usually go there when it's quiet. Service sometimes takes a turn for the worse when it's busy. Recommend when you go in groups and is busy that you order pitchers of beer so you don't have to keep waiting for service to come.
(4)Sijara E.
Buffalo Wild Wings is your typical sports dining establishment. Basically it's Hooters minus the attractive servers (which even Hooters fails at sometimes). This is my first time at this particular location, but I frequent BWW to watch UFC fights, boxing fights, etc. If not for that, I would not likely eat here, being I'm kinda of a foodie, and if I eat out, I prefer "real" restaurants. Anyways, on to the review. I thought the staff was above par at this location, we had a large party and we did not call ahead, but we were greeted nicely and they quickly rearranged some tables for us to sit. Our initial server was a really nice guy, but he was replaced by another gentleman (forgot his name), who was cool, but I thought he was kinda of a jerk to the other wait staff. Food was ok. I mean it's Buffalo Wild Wings. I ordered a chicken sandwich, it was good.
(4)Susie T.
I've been to BWW before, but this location was nothing short of vile. The food was inedible. I will eat almost anything, and I barely touched my food and declined to bring it home. I did try a few bites of some of my friends dishes, and the only things that I found to be halfway decent were the French fries. The service was abominable. Avoid at all costs - I think there is a Houlihans right down the street where you can get much better food.
(1)Ryan G.
Come here about once or twice a month since they opened. Service is usually good. Except a few occasions. Usually I order the wings. The sauce usually I get a new sauce every time. I order them extra crispy because sometimes they are too soft. Also my favorite is the buffalo chips. With one of the seasonings.
(4)Donna R.
This is a great place to watch football and eat some delicious wings with plenty of sauces and heat levels to choose from. They make many different types of drinks and they carry a wide variety of beers! There are always some kind of specials!For dessert you must try Cinnamon squares with chocolate sauce , it taste like french toast. and their chocolate cake with vanilla ice was also a big hit. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is casual. This is a great place to meet friends for a drink. and our waiter Nathan is the best!
(4)Jesse W.
The food sucks. The staff sucks. It's like watching the movie Waiting except you're the unlucky bastards being served.
(1)Debbie K.
LOVE their wings of course. I do wish they have more variety as far as the menu goes. The bar has some nice options. The staff somewhat friendly depending on who your server is.

5 for the wings, and a 3 for just about everything else... BWW might average slightly above 3 for me, just based on the fact that they have the best wings ever. I hate to say that a franchise has the BEST wings, but they really do. Haven't had a sauce yet that I don't like, I'm particularly fond of the Mango Habanero. I also like how they are generous with the carrot sticks/celery and don't charge for extra ranch (believe it or not, most places do). Service is below average to average. Not below average because of rudeness, but if you've ever been here when it's busy, you know what I mean. Regardless of how many people are working, there never seem to be enough servers/bartenders and everyone is always running around. I almost feel sorry for them, especially on wing Tuesdays and Thursdays when all the cheapskates come out and don't even tip 20% on the before-discounted bill. On our most recent trip, the bartender forgot our loaded fries but she made up for it by comping our next round. Ambience is mehhh (typical "chain" kind of vibe with horrible acoustics) and the menu (other than the wings) is mehhh. I've had a bunch of the apps and although none are horrible, none would really be worth ordering again. By far, the WORST part about BWW is the throngs of tweens/teens. Large groups, no parents, they are often clogging up the entrance area by standing around, heads down, texting, oblivious that staff and other patrons are trying to get around them. Their lazy parents drop them off right in the front, often taking several minutes for them to all unload out of minivans and Suburbans like a fucking clowncar, turning the front entrance into a clusterfuck "valet" zone. I don't know if there's anything management can do about this, but they should. Just keep it simple and go for wings and beer. Beer selection is deceiving. On first glance, you might think " what an awesome beer selection!" because they offer about 20 drafts. BUT take a closer look at them...most are garbage. I'm not into Pale Ales, they seem to have a lot of those as well as generic lager-type beers and your typical Bud/Coors/Miller varieties. They do have Newcastle (thumbs up), but no hefeweizens, pilsners, saison, Belgian-style ales, draft cider, etc.
