    Irish Nachos w/ Buffalo chicken on top
    Brandon S.

    Buffalo chips has a kitschy dive bar feel, with random pictures all over the wall, and an impressive amount of sports memorabilia. The owner is a huge Buffalo Bills fan, and appears to be from the Buffalo area, so I had high expectations for the wings. Man, I was not disappointed, we got the hot buffalo and zippy cajun wings, along with the Irish nachos with buffalo tenders on top. The wings were some of the best i've had in South Florida. They were sauced well, but still maintained a crispy exterior. Both sauces were great, but I preferred the Zippy Cajun. The Irish Nachos were another hit. Kettle chips drowned in nacho cheese, and topped with buffalo chicken tenders and blue cheese crumbles. The perfect appetizer to have with a few beers. The only downside was the service. To be fair, I visited on a Saturday night during a NCAA game, so the place was a madhouse. I felt like the waitress had a few too many tables, but tried her best. Unfortunately we ordered some fries and sides of blue cheese that never made it out of the kitchen, and drinks didn't get refilled. All in all, a great meal for a pretty reasonable price. I'm sure if I came back on a less busy night, the service would have been a bit better. If you love wings, this is your spot in Bonita Springs!

    If you love wings, you have to go on Mondays for $1 wing night. They have several tasty sauces to accompany and the service was top notch.

    Food, ambiance, and service is what you would expect at a sports bar. With that said, the wings weren't standout and the flavor options weren't either. Very thin and greasy sauce, decent amount of meat on the bones. They had a single beer from a local brewing company but otherwise regular beer menu. Nothing standout or impressive. The buffalo chips were thick cut potato slices lacking seasoning but cooked well. It's good enough at the end of the day.

    I've known about Buffalo chips for a while and it is very divey but it has heart and personality. We came on a Friday and it was busy both inside and outside. The place has lovely and eclectic decor. The staff is super friendly and attentive. We ordered the wings and a burger. The wings were amazing and the burger was great too. Want to come back and try their ribs.

    Fun, funky decor with good food at reasonable prices. Plenty to keep the kids happy. Nice lunch spot. Easy parking. Close to Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs.

    I made everyone go to dinner at Buffalo Chips for my birthday, if that tells you anything. The food is good, the atmosphere is fun, and they have a big enough menu that everyone can find something. I love their Buffalo chips (fries) but they have so many options, you can even get curly fries! They also have a great ranch.

    If I'm in the general area I'm usually here or down the way at the other place. It's a comfy dive with lots of stuff to see. It's part museum and part sports bar. Lots of choices for food and many choices of sauces for their famous wings. Traffic can be crazy especially during season so I usually find any way to avoid it and hang around for a few. Staff and customers always friendly this reminds me to come here more often. 8/2024 Food 5 Ambiance 5 Service 4 Location 5 Value 5

    We had the wings, mac & cheese, a burger, and enchiladas for dessert we had Keylime pie. It was a really cute restaurant with lots of things to look at all over the walls. And the service was good. They were very busy. We waited about 20/25 minutes to get seated.

    Wow!! I stopped at another place for lunch but they did cash only so I had to leave and I drove down the road and came up to this place so I stopped here. I had no idea this was what I found out. The whole thing was awesome. I always love local owned places rather than chain restaurants and the server is always my most important thing to get. The server here was serious a 10star and the food was super yummy bc she helped me decide which specific things to order. Very great place and comfy to hang out.

With its waterfront location, lively atmosphere, and boats pulling right up to the dock, it delivers exactly the kind of Southwest Florida experience visitors are hoping to find. What keeps us coming back, however, is the food. Unlike many waterfront tourist spots that rely solely on the view, Coconut Jack's consistently serves excellent food and drinks. The shrimp basket is a favorite, the mahi tacos are packed with flavor, and both the grouper entrée and grouper sandwich are outstanding. Even the burgers are surprisingly good. One standout that deserves special mention is the New England clam chowder, which is absolutely top shelf and among the best you'll find in the area. The atmosphere is energetic and fun, with dining right on the water and plenty of people watching. Whether you're arriving by car or boat, the restaurant has a casual party vibe that feels quintessentially Florida. The staff is enthusiastic, friendly, and works hard to keep the good times rolling, even when the restaurant is packed.

The outdoor area has plenty of space between the tables so we don't feel crowded or like we're eavesdropping on everyone else's conversation they had reggae music playing, but not too loud so you could actually speak without yelling, which was all great. We really went for the drinks and they were good so overall we say five stars for the atmosphere and drinks The food was average at best. Well, it came out well prepared overall it really lacked any sort of flavor and is way over priced for the quality they offer. The other thing that was not so great was the service. Our server was polite but really was not friendly or attentive. We were there mid afternoon so it was pretty empty. Last thing to know is parking is valet only. It is free bit of course you may want to have cash for a tip. Overall, we will be going back for the atmosphere in the drinks, but I think we'll find other places for dinner or lunch

Our server, Jessica, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. She introduced us to the ZigZag Pizza style -- something I'd never heard of before -- and gave great recommendations. We ordered: * The Hot Honey Pizza (sweet heat perfection) * A double smash burger (juicy and packed with flavor) * Grilled octopus appetizer (tender and bold -- a must-try) The whole meal hit the spot. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and memories that will stick around longer than the beach sand on our feet. Zippy's is officially on my list of go-to post-beach spots.

Seated at 730, drink order wasn't taken until 744, and this became a theme for the night. Drinks came a while later. Bread was provided after the drinks--but we had been seated well over 25 minutes now. Order was not taken for over 30 minutes. Appetizers came out relatively quickly and were good (4/5). The tomatoes were green house tomatoes though which really bugged me for southern Florida and the price point. Just plain greedy prices for Sysco food service quality ingredients. Entrees came about 90 minutes after we were seated. Wife and I had to do some serious damage control with the kids, but we brought them so that's on us. The entrees were good, but marked up considerably. I suspect they prey on tourists like us and just charge high in hopes of the perceived quality. My steak was very good I'll admit. But I filled up on the table bread because it all took so dang long. Also it was a limited menu--maybe because of Easter? But with limited options the kitchens job should be streamlined a lot better to avoid such a long wait time for the food. Started this review with a 4 star rating, as I thought about it, I downgraded it to a 3 due to high cost, mediocre waiter service and very slow food service. Maybe your experience will be better on a less busy day? We were there nearly three hours not including the wait for our table.
