I was told not to review chain restaurants, but this one needs better ratings. This place is bomb. 0.45 cent Tuesdays are probably the best. The pitchers of beers are cheap ($8-14 for domestics). The wings are the best. So far I've only had a few on the less spicy scale, but for sure will revisit to kick it up a notch. One complaint is that sometimes they charge you for ranch and celery, and sometimes they don't charge. The wings are consistently good though!

I'm giving this place a 3 because they had every football game on. No drink specials. Service was mediocre at best. I had to ask 4 different people for a beer.. I know they were busy but 4 people? and when it finally got to me, it was warm. The food did come out quick and the wings were pretty good and are probably the only reason I'd come back. The one thing this place has over all other bars is all of the games on for Sundays.. hopefully I can find someplace else to hang out at so I can actually get a cold beer and good service.

So, it's almost certain that you've already been to a Buffalo Wild Wings, a corporate sports bar chain that I once worked for back in its humble beginnings as an Ohio State dive in Columbus, OH. The wing sauces are actually quite good, easily the best among the big chains, and so hunger and nostalgia drove me to see how they were doing at the U. of Wisconsin location. How they are doing is grossly and ickily corporatized: servers are reading from a creepy, memorized, cocktails-to-dessert training script that precludes them from resembling humans in any substantive way. Prices have so outpaced inflation that it now costs $18 to get your fill of their food, without drinks or tip. I get that costs have gone up on everything since 1995, but not 300% in most instances. They've also shrunk their wing portion size from six and twelve to five and ten. $10.79 for ten measly wings? Really? Yes, the wing sauces are still good (and the limited-run Moroccan Fire was tasty), but paying for their advertising budget now means that you're forking over real-food money for deep-fried items only a slight grade above fast food. In a word, meh.

Pathetic. The dining room was half full at most yet I waited 20 minutes without a server coming to my table. I left with an empty stomach. How does this happen?

The restaurant was not crowded, about 5 tables. And they made me wait 40 mins for my take away lunch. Ridiculous!!!

I have never been so upset and turned off at a restaraunt before. Went out for a night with my friends and it took over an hour to get out food! The waitress NEVER bothered to let us know or offer us a drink on the house...something. After all that wait I get my popcorn shrimp only to find the most pathetic looking shrimp that were not deceived. I was so disgusted. Never going back to this Madison location.

If you're from a different area, and you don't get broadcasts of your home football team playing; this is the place for you. They have numerous TVs devoted to each and every game, and seats you based on which team you would like to see. The food here's also decent, with okish wings and delicious nachos. They also have a decent variety of beer on tap, with pretty cheap prices. If it's a Sunday and you don't have much to do, drop by and watch your favorite team kick ass.

The new "bdubs" location is far superior to their previous location on State St. What they lost in a "homey" feel, they've gained in a much better sports environment. I'm about 99% sure that their commercials describing their ability to extend games is false, but 100% sure that it makes no difference. Bdubs is becoming an American Classic, and this location only helps the national brand.

Wings are amazing!!! Sauces are what make B-dubs the place to get quality, flavorful wings! Generally good service, occasionally a little slow on thursday nights, but expected for boneless thursdays. Good atmosphere and of course, the best tasting wings compared to local competitors (i.e. quaker steak and lube, wing stop etc.)

Last Saturday night my friends and I decided to meet at BWW-Downtown. We wanted to catch some of the bb games and the Brewer game before heading to the comedy club. The place was pretty busy but we got there when it started clearing up, so we were sat right away. It took a while for a server to come over, but finally she did and we ordered our drinks. It took a while for the server to come back with 2 of our 5 drinks; she explained that the bartender was backed up. A little while later 2 more of our drinks arrived. At this point we ordered food and a little while later our last drink arrived to our table. We all kind of noticed that the beer wasn't too crisp; leaving us to ponder how often they clean their tap lines. Our food took a long time. It was mainly wings, an order of nachos and a wrap. At one point one of my friends asked if we had ordered to whole kitchen. Our server didn't seem to be too worried, not once telling us she would see what was taking so long, or apologizing for the long wait. It took her a while to get another drink order from 2 of us. At one point a manager stopped by and asked if we needed anything. I pointed to my empty beer glass and said I'd have another, and then asked for a PBR and my husband ordered a Bloody Mary. The manager walked away and found our server and told her what our order was. She then came over with the manager to confirm our order; again I said I'd like a PBR. Our drinks arrived and my husband's bloody was not a nice bloody red but an almost translucent magenta color. No beer chaser with the bloody because they stopped doing that. Finally our food arrived, no napkins or silverware. My friend had to ask for napkins and silverware (for the boneless wings and nachos), the server brought back napkins only. My mango habanero wings were very hot I just began gulping my beer, not noticing that it was not a PBR. My husband took a drink and told me the server brought me the IPA I had ordered first, not a PBR. I finished it anyway though I had ordered a different beer for a reason. (My wings were super hot.) Towards the end of the meal, my husband offered me his olives from his bloody. He took out the toothpick with the olives and we all saw a very long dark hair coiled around the olives. We managed to see our server again, she had not bothered to check on us about our food, and she just looked at the olives and hair and said "oh we'll take that off your check," and walked away. Didn't apologize, didn't offer to get him something else and didn't even take it off the table. A little bit later she came back and said she had taken it off and walked away. Again, no apologies, no offer for another drink and she left it on the table. We figured a manager would stop by at some point....nope. We asked for checks and when I looked at mine I did see I was charged for 2 IPAs. Our server came back and I asked her about it, reminding her that I had ordered a PBR. "We don't have PBR anymore," blank stare. At that point we just wanted to get out of there, but I wondered why her and her manager didn't just tell me that in the first place. Also, why would she not ask if there was something else I wanted? She just assumed I'd have the same beer and brought it without letting me know it wasn't the beer I had ordered. I thought about finding the manger, just to ask him why he didn't tell me they didn't have the beer I had ordered but of course he was nowhere to be found. It was my first time at this BWW and probably will be my last time. 3 out of the 5 of us work in the food service industry and couldn't believe how poorly this place was run. Our service wasn't the best either, clearly (we hope) this is her first serving job and she'll learn from her mistakes. But the fact that the management seems to be nonexistent, makes for a bad experience. If you want to eat at BWW, order take-out...they can't screw that up can they?

BW3s* is pretty much what you'd expect: run of the mill food and lots of TVs. I've been here several times, always to 'watch the game'. Their boneless wings are alright - not bad, but nothing special. Their other food is meh - the nachos aren't worth trying again, and the grilled chicken sandwich would have been better with less char and more sauce (isn't the sauce the pride of a wings place?). The draw of Buffalo Wild Wings is its central location and sharing-friendly finger food. The best thing I've come across at BW3s is their recent Packer game raffles. For every Miller product you buy, you get a raffle ticket. There's a list of plays and their corresponding prizes - a free beer for every first down, 50 wings for a field goal, etc. The game last Sunday was extremely low-scoring and pretty boring, but they still called 10+ names in the second half. If you're going to be at BW3s anyway, it's not a bad addition to the game. *Everyone always asks why it's called BW3s when there are only two Ws. I looked up the answer. When it was founded, it was called Buffalo Wild WIngs & Weck (aka beef on weck, aka steak on a kummelweck roll). Now you know.

Super cheap wing Tuesdays and Thursdays. I had always preferred traditional wings (Tuesday) over boneless wings (Thursday). Personally the boneless wings somehow do not feel like I'm having wings. Despite being easier to eat, I would like my wings experience to be messy, but that is just me =) I have tried a huge variety from the non spicy Sweet BBQ to the extremely spicy Wild. Some favorites are Parmesan and Garlic, Honey BBQ, Asian Zing and Mango Habanero. The Wing Tuesdays is the only reason for showing up. It's a great way to get cheap food.

Bdubs is my favorite place to watch a game. Drinks are a little expensive but sometimes they have cheap specials. Wings are the best I can find, and that's usually all I get when I go there, but their appetizers at good as well. Make sure to get their at least an hour early if watching a popular sporting event!

There is only one reason you can catch me here on any given Saturday night: UFC Fight Night. I love MMA and now that women are throwing down in the ring I'm even more interested. There is no cover and if you get there around 8:30pm you'll be able to find a decent place to sit. The place is loud, and they don't turn up the volume for the main event, nor do they switch all of the t.v.'s over because they "guarantee" that they'll play any game you come in to see. Right before the big fight the waitress turned one of the big t.v.'s over to a football game, but all we had to do was swivel around on our bar stools and watch the huge screen behind us. I ordered a veggie boat and it was carrots and celery taken out of the freezer and thrown in a paper holder. By the time I finished there was water pooled at the bottom from the freezer burn melting off. Gross.... We also ordered fried mozzarella sticks mid-fight and they were good. Two stars for free entry to PPV fights and enough room to actually sit down.

A cheap pig out location! Tuesdays 60cents traditional or boneless wings is what I usually go for, with a bunch of friends. Large spacious, much better than the old state street location. However, too many flashing screens and its loud.. Definitely reminds me of being a college kid again, but who doesn't like having cheap food from time to time? If you head there before 7pm, there are drinks and appetizers special. Good items to go for - (for mild spicy eaters) Parmesan and garlic (mild spicy) Salt and Vinegar Honey BBQ Mango Habanero (kinda spicy) Always get the buffalo chips with cheese. OMG so good.... junkie. If you wanna feel less greasy, get the veggie plate. It's for your good -.- AND, ask for drinks specials - you might get really good deals! They also really helpful with splitting checks! Hooray for undergrad cheap places!

I was there for their wing Tuesdays, which is basically wings at a cheaper price. Except that you don't get the ranch and celery for free. They're extra charge on wing Tuesdays. I ordered 12 wings, 6 in their spicy garlic sauce, and 6 in their mango habanero sauce. The mango habanero sauce was too sweet for my liking and not nearly as spicy as its position on the chart would indicate, nor as the waitress had suggested. I like my food SPICY, and this wasn't spicy at all. Overall, I didn't enjoy the wings very much. I like my wings a little bit more cooked and for the skins to have a bit more crisp to them. These were flabby, fatty skin. Their fries however, were really good. I had the regular and the potato wedges and they were fried just right and flavored/salted just to my liking. When I was in the one in Columbus, Ohio, I ordered their pork sandwich which I enjoyed.

friend raved about the wings at this place, so went to try. i couldn't remember what it was, but ordering at the cashier did not leave a good impression. service wasn't noticeably bad, but something just didn't click. and i remember the non-alcohol drinks were on the pricey side too, but i think they offer free water by the soda fountain or something like that--you just have to ask for a cup, or something (sorry it's been a while). the wait for our two orders of wings (and maybe one other thing) was a good 20+ minutes. seriously?? so went to the bar and asked the bartender to recommend a local beer. got the wisconsin amber. it was quite ok, and was only $5 too (is that too much for WI standard??? i don't know). later on, went downstairs and found seats for ourselves. THEN we saw a waitress serving the table next to us. so what is the norm for this place anyway? cafeteria style or waiter service??? completely confused. anyways. buzzer vibrated after a while, and we went up to get our food. wings were good, but not something to die for. the beer was better, by comparison. won't mind going back, but probably not when you want something quick. i think they're in an identity crisis where they still can't decide whether they wanna be a sit-down restaurant, fast food, or a bar/pub. it seems they're trying to be all but not faring so well in any one place. maybe the bar/pub image is the most successful among the three.

The wings are ok-- better than the miserable offerings at Quaker Steak and Lube. My gripe is the service. No matter how simple my order is I never get in and out in under twenty minutes. I just don't get it-- you sell wings, so why does it seem like someone has to go kill a chicken and look up the recipe to get me some?

This would be a great place to watch a game. The food is kinda overpriced...but decently good. The traditional wings are my favorite, Asian Zing and Medium with a side of Ranch! If you're going to order an appetizer, stick with the fried pickles. They're the only thing that's marginally different from something you could get pretty much anywhere else.

Great place to watch a game. I've been here several times when I'm back in town (lived here for 6 years) and never been disappointed. Tons of TV, great service and happy hour specials until 7pm during the week. 66 cent boneless wings on thursday. Worth it even though I live traditional better. I think that's Tuesday nights.

I was told not to review chain restaurants, but this one needs better ratings. This place is bomb. 0.45 cent Tuesdays are probably the best. The pitchers of beers are cheap ($8-14 for domestics). The wings are the best. So far I've only had a few on the less spicy scale, but for sure will revisit to kick it up a notch. One complaint is that sometimes they charge you for ranch and celery, and sometimes they don't charge. The wings are consistently good though!

if the waitresses and bartenders were female and hot would have been better

I'm giving this place a 3 because they had every football game on. No drink specials. Service was mediocre at best. I had to ask 4 different people for a beer.. I know they were busy but 4 people? and when it finally got to me, it was warm. The food did come out quick and the wings were pretty good and are probably the only reason I'd come back. The one thing this place has over all other bars is all of the games on for Sundays.. hopefully I can find someplace else to hang out at so I can actually get a cold beer and good service.

So, it's almost certain that you've already been to a Buffalo Wild Wings, a corporate sports bar chain that I once worked for back in its humble beginnings as an Ohio State dive in Columbus, OH. The wing sauces are actually quite good, easily the best among the big chains, and so hunger and nostalgia drove me to see how they were doing at the U. of Wisconsin location. How they are doing is grossly and ickily corporatized: servers are reading from a creepy, memorized, cocktails-to-dessert training script that precludes them from resembling humans in any substantive way. Prices have so outpaced inflation that it now costs $18 to get your fill of their food, without drinks or tip. I get that costs have gone up on everything since 1995, but not 300% in most instances. They've also shrunk their wing portion size from six and twelve to five and ten. $10.79 for ten measly wings? Really? Yes, the wing sauces are still good (and the limited-run Moroccan Fire was tasty), but paying for their advertising budget now means that you're forking over real-food money for deep-fried items only a slight grade above fast food. In a word, meh.

Pathetic. The dining room was half full at most yet I waited 20 minutes without a server coming to my table. I left with an empty stomach. How does this happen?
(1)Quinn P.
The restaurant was not crowded, about 5 tables. And they made me wait 40 mins for my take away lunch. Ridiculous!!!
(1)Jade A.
I have never been so upset and turned off at a restaraunt before. Went out for a night with my friends and it took over an hour to get out food! The waitress NEVER bothered to let us know or offer us a drink on the house...something. After all that wait I get my popcorn shrimp only to find the most pathetic looking shrimp that were not deceived. I was so disgusted. Never going back to this Madison location.

If you're from a different area, and you don't get broadcasts of your home football team playing; this is the place for you. They have numerous TVs devoted to each and every game, and seats you based on which team you would like to see. The food here's also decent, with okish wings and delicious nachos. They also have a decent variety of beer on tap, with pretty cheap prices. If it's a Sunday and you don't have much to do, drop by and watch your favorite team kick ass.

The new "bdubs" location is far superior to their previous location on State St. What they lost in a "homey" feel, they've gained in a much better sports environment. I'm about 99% sure that their commercials describing their ability to extend games is false, but 100% sure that it makes no difference. Bdubs is becoming an American Classic, and this location only helps the national brand.
(4)Logan B.
Wings are amazing!!! Sauces are what make B-dubs the place to get quality, flavorful wings! Generally good service, occasionally a little slow on thursday nights, but expected for boneless thursdays. Good atmosphere and of course, the best tasting wings compared to local competitors (i.e. quaker steak and lube, wing stop etc.)

Last Saturday night my friends and I decided to meet at BWW-Downtown. We wanted to catch some of the bb games and the Brewer game before heading to the comedy club. The place was pretty busy but we got there when it started clearing up, so we were sat right away. It took a while for a server to come over, but finally she did and we ordered our drinks. It took a while for the server to come back with 2 of our 5 drinks; she explained that the bartender was backed up. A little while later 2 more of our drinks arrived. At this point we ordered food and a little while later our last drink arrived to our table. We all kind of noticed that the beer wasn't too crisp; leaving us to ponder how often they clean their tap lines. Our food took a long time. It was mainly wings, an order of nachos and a wrap. At one point one of my friends asked if we had ordered to whole kitchen. Our server didn't seem to be too worried, not once telling us she would see what was taking so long, or apologizing for the long wait. It took her a while to get another drink order from 2 of us. At one point a manager stopped by and asked if we needed anything. I pointed to my empty beer glass and said I'd have another, and then asked for a PBR and my husband ordered a Bloody Mary. The manager walked away and found our server and told her what our order was. She then came over with the manager to confirm our order; again I said I'd like a PBR. Our drinks arrived and my husband's bloody was not a nice bloody red but an almost translucent magenta color. No beer chaser with the bloody because they stopped doing that. Finally our food arrived, no napkins or silverware. My friend had to ask for napkins and silverware (for the boneless wings and nachos), the server brought back napkins only. My mango habanero wings were very hot I just began gulping my beer, not noticing that it was not a PBR. My husband took a drink and told me the server brought me the IPA I had ordered first, not a PBR. I finished it anyway though I had ordered a different beer for a reason. (My wings were super hot.) Towards the end of the meal, my husband offered me his olives from his bloody. He took out the toothpick with the olives and we all saw a very long dark hair coiled around the olives. We managed to see our server again, she had not bothered to check on us about our food, and she just looked at the olives and hair and said "oh we'll take that off your check," and walked away. Didn't apologize, didn't offer to get him something else and didn't even take it off the table. A little bit later she came back and said she had taken it off and walked away. Again, no apologies, no offer for another drink and she left it on the table. We figured a manager would stop by at some point....nope. We asked for checks and when I looked at mine I did see I was charged for 2 IPAs. Our server came back and I asked her about it, reminding her that I had ordered a PBR. "We don't have PBR anymore," blank stare. At that point we just wanted to get out of there, but I wondered why her and her manager didn't just tell me that in the first place. Also, why would she not ask if there was something else I wanted? She just assumed I'd have the same beer and brought it without letting me know it wasn't the beer I had ordered. I thought about finding the manger, just to ask him why he didn't tell me they didn't have the beer I had ordered but of course he was nowhere to be found. It was my first time at this BWW and probably will be my last time. 3 out of the 5 of us work in the food service industry and couldn't believe how poorly this place was run. Our service wasn't the best either, clearly (we hope) this is her first serving job and she'll learn from her mistakes. But the fact that the management seems to be nonexistent, makes for a bad experience. If you want to eat at BWW, order take-out...they can't screw that up can they?

BW3s* is pretty much what you'd expect: run of the mill food and lots of TVs. I've been here several times, always to 'watch the game'. Their boneless wings are alright - not bad, but nothing special. Their other food is meh - the nachos aren't worth trying again, and the grilled chicken sandwich would have been better with less char and more sauce (isn't the sauce the pride of a wings place?). The draw of Buffalo Wild Wings is its central location and sharing-friendly finger food. The best thing I've come across at BW3s is their recent Packer game raffles. For every Miller product you buy, you get a raffle ticket. There's a list of plays and their corresponding prizes - a free beer for every first down, 50 wings for a field goal, etc. The game last Sunday was extremely low-scoring and pretty boring, but they still called 10+ names in the second half. If you're going to be at BW3s anyway, it's not a bad addition to the game. *Everyone always asks why it's called BW3s when there are only two Ws. I looked up the answer.

Super cheap wing Tuesdays and Thursdays. I had always preferred traditional wings (Tuesday) over boneless wings (Thursday). Personally the boneless wings somehow do not feel like I'm having wings. Despite being easier to eat, I would like my wings experience to be messy, but that is just me =) I have tried a huge variety from the non spicy Sweet BBQ to the extremely spicy Wild. Some favorites are Parmesan and Garlic, Honey BBQ, Asian Zing and Mango Habanero. The Wing Tuesdays is the only reason for showing up. It's a great way to get cheap food.
(2)Sarah K.
Bdubs is my favorite place to watch a game. Drinks are a little expensive but sometimes they have cheap specials. Wings are the best I can find, and that's usually all I get when I go there, but their appetizers at good as well. Make sure to get their at least an hour early if watching a popular sporting event!
(4)Sarah P.
There is only one reason you can catch me here on any given Saturday night: UFC Fight Night. I love MMA and now that women are throwing down in the ring I'm even more interested. There is no cover and if you get there around 8:30pm you'll be able to find a decent place to sit. The place is loud, and they don't turn up the volume for the main event, nor do they switch all of the t.v.'s over because they "guarantee" that they'll play any game you come in to see. Right before the big fight the waitress turned one of the big t.v.'s over to a football game, but all we had to do was swivel around on our bar stools and watch the huge screen behind us. I ordered a veggie boat and it was carrots and celery taken out of the freezer and thrown in a paper holder. By the time I finished there was water pooled at the bottom from the freezer burn melting off. Gross.... We also ordered fried mozzarella sticks mid-fight and they were good. Two stars for free entry to PPV fights and enough room to actually sit down.
(2)Grace L.
My favorite place to have chicken wings! Ike the great variety of flavors and their Tuesday and Thursday half price specials!
(5)Ka L.
A cheap pig out location! Tuesdays 60cents traditional or boneless wings is what I usually go for, with a bunch of friends. Large spacious, much better than the old state street location. However, too many flashing screens and its loud.. Definitely reminds me of being a college kid again, but who doesn't like having cheap food from time to time? If you head there before 7pm, there are drinks and appetizers special. Good items to go for - (for mild spicy eaters) Parmesan and garlic (mild spicy) Salt and Vinegar Honey BBQ Mango Habanero (kinda spicy) Always get the buffalo chips with cheese. OMG so good.... junkie. If you wanna feel less greasy, get the veggie plate. It's for your good -.- AND, ask for drinks specials - you might get really good deals! They also really helpful with splitting checks! Hooray for undergrad cheap places!

I was there for their wing Tuesdays, which is basically wings at a cheaper price. Except that you don't get the ranch and celery for free. They're extra charge on wing Tuesdays. I ordered 12 wings, 6 in their spicy garlic sauce, and 6 in their mango habanero sauce. The mango habanero sauce was too sweet for my liking and not nearly as spicy as its position on the chart would indicate, nor as the waitress had suggested. I like my food SPICY, and this wasn't spicy at all. Overall, I didn't enjoy the wings very much. I like my wings a little bit more cooked and for the skins to have a bit more crisp to them. These were flabby, fatty skin. Their fries however, were really good. I had the regular and the potato wedges and they were fried just right and flavored/salted just to my liking. When I was in the one in Columbus, Ohio, I ordered their pork sandwich which I enjoyed.

friend raved about the wings at this place, so went to try. i couldn't remember what it was, but ordering at the cashier did not leave a good impression. service wasn't noticeably bad, but something just didn't click. and i remember the non-alcohol drinks were on the pricey side too, but i think they offer free water by the soda fountain or something like that--you just have to ask for a cup, or something (sorry it's been a while). the wait for our two orders of wings (and maybe one other thing) was a good 20+ minutes. seriously?? so went to the bar and asked the bartender to recommend a local beer. got the wisconsin amber. it was quite ok, and was only $5 too (is that too much for WI standard??? i don't know). later on, went downstairs and found seats for ourselves. THEN we saw a waitress serving the table next to us. so what is the norm for this place anyway? cafeteria style or waiter service??? completely confused. anyways. buzzer vibrated after a while, and we went up to get our food. wings were good, but not something to die for. the beer was better, by comparison. won't mind going back, but probably not when you want something quick. i think they're in an identity crisis where they still can't decide whether they wanna be a sit-down restaurant, fast food, or a bar/pub. it seems they're trying to be all but not faring so well in any one place. maybe the bar/pub image is the most successful among the three.
(3)Jesse S.
The wings are ok-- better than the miserable offerings at Quaker Steak and Lube. My gripe is the service. No matter how simple my order is I never get in and out in under twenty minutes. I just don't get it-- you sell wings, so why does it seem like someone has to go kill a chicken and look up the recipe to get me some?
(2)James M.
Management here SUCKS! They would take a to-go order by phone claiming they're too busy. Taking a look around they're not busy at all.
(1)Kelsi B.
This would be a great place to watch a game. The food is kinda overpriced...but decently good. The traditional wings are my favorite, Asian Zing and Medium with a side of Ranch! If you're going to order an appetizer, stick with the fried pickles. They're the only thing that's marginally different from something you could get pretty much anywhere else.
(3)Colin FX G.
Great place to watch a game. I've been here several times when I'm back in town (lived here for 6 years) and never been disappointed. Tons of TV, great service and happy hour specials until 7pm during the week. 66 cent boneless wings on thursday. Worth it even though I live traditional better. I think that's Tuesday nights.

When it was founded, it was called Buffalo Wild WIngs & Weck (aka beef on weck, aka steak on a kummelweck roll). Now you know.
