We came here as planned to watch the NBA playoffs. It's few blocks from Ann Arbor Bed and Breakfast so it was very convenient to just stroll back if we had to drink more than usual. Well BWW will always be loud but not excessively loud. Everybody was just having fun! We had 2 rounds of cold draft beer,lemon pepper and buttery maple wings and everything went well at the bar. This was on a Sunday night. read more

30+ minute wait for cold appetizers. But at least we had the family entertainment of hearing the manager tell a customer to "f" off because he expressed disappointment with the service. Also "grill isn't working" so we could only order fried food. read more

The chicken wings were excellent. I ordered 5 with a spicy sauce and 5 with a medium sauce; both were good. One thing that I liked a lot about Buffalo Wild Wings is that they offer many different sauce flavors (16 I think) the customer can choose to have the wings cooked with the sauce or the sauce can be provided on the side or just ranch dressing to dip. Some of the sauces are: sweet BQ, teriyaki, honey BQ, spicy garlic, Parmesan garlic, etc. The waiter was attentive and considerate. The restaurant size is quite large, is attractively decorated, has many TVs, and plays pop music. Being close to campus, the crown included a lot of students, but others were there and were treated well. Parking can be an issue. Street meter parking can be tough to find sometimes. There is a pay parking structure a block away on Maynard. The only thing at Buffalo Wild Wings that bothered me is their menu claim to sell "boneless wings." There is no such thing. That is deception. What they are selling are strips of breast meat, which I do not like; that is why I chose real chicken wings. There are other items on the menu (wraps, salads, sandwiches, burgers) and I have not tasted them nor rated them. read more

Place is pretty empty Friday night. Interesting. Question is answered fairly quickly. No one up front to greet us. After waiting around a while we seat ourselves in the bar. Then no waitress. We finally go to the bar and find Mr. Cranky bartender. (Someone tell this poor Richard if he learns to smile he will make more tip money) What a hassle to get a simple beer. In any case, this place and service was a mess. No wonder the place was empty. The restaurant manager needs to get fired. read more

Wings here are fine, the space is newly renovated and spacious, and the service is good too. The many times I've been here, they've gotten my order mixed up a few times, but they've always promptly fixed their mistake. However, what frustrates me is the inaccuracy of their late night menu. The $3 apps sound great at first, but my order of roasted garlic mushrooms turned out to be nothing like what one would expect. Roasted garlic mushrooms are apparently equivalent to fried cheesy mushrooms, a surprise I regretfully discovered. The other menu items seem pretty accurate, but I'm still disappointed by the lack of attention they pay to details like these that distinguish an average sports bar from a good one. read more

You pretty much know what you're going to get with Bdubs-- my experiences here haven't been great. The food is pretty love it or hate it, I happen to be on the latter side of the issue. I find the food to generally be pretty low-quality and overpriced, the sauces have some flavor to them but they can't fully mask the poor quality chicken. The french fries are similarly meh, barely seasoned and more akin to the fries you might find at a McDonald's or Burger King. And never expect to pay a reasonable price for a beer here, although to their credit BWW tends to have a decent selection. At this particular location, I've had some pretty surprisingly underwhelming service my last few visits. Even when we've gone to a mostly empty restaurant, our servers rarely stop by, usually forget to bring waters, silverware, etc. The atmosphere is fun though, and the TVs lining the upper walls make this restaurant great to watch sports in. Regardless of my criticisms, I know I'll still end up here every once in a while (it's Bdubs), but I'm never excited about it. read more

Their blazin' wings are legitimately hottttt. I had trouble taking my contacts out later that night. 3 stars because this place is pretty standard, and I have spent over an hour waiting to be seated--NOT on one of their wing nights! Pretty expensive as far as wings go, but if you do go on Tuesday? Thursday? the price isn't so bad. The trivia is also fun. read more

You all forgot my sauce. No marinara for my mozzarella sticks. No ranch for my wings.

I come here often with my friends as a way to hang out and eat with them since it's close by where we live and we love eating wings, but every time we've come our order always takes an insane amount of time to arrive. Our waiting time has ranged from 45 minutes to 2 hours on one night, on which they messed up half of our orders. Generally very disappointed with the service and timeliness of the food as some of the staff are unfriendly (not straight up rude, but looked like they didn't want to be here and were cold to not just us but other tables as well) I hope for improvement since I do like the food that they serve and the location that it's that but my experience has not been pleasant at all. read more

Before the one in Ann Arbor opened up, I used to go to the one in Ypsi when it was still by the AATA bus station; they moved. Now that its in Ann Arbor, I have been to BW's several times and they redid their sauces some years ago. It's your typical bar/wing/food joint... this place gets busy, so can't say when it's good time to go to avoid the crowd... I typically will get the wedges with cheese, onion rings and dozen wings. My sauce of choice is Asian Zing! I don't know why, but I love the Asian Zing sauce - it's sweet and not too hot! They used to have honey mustard - I miss that.... I have tried all their sauces - yes even the Blazin. I would not recommend Blazin if you are not used to hot sauces. In addition, if you are going to try the Blazin, please put the whole wing in your mouth and debone the wing if you can... otherwise you'll get the sauce on your lips and you will suffer!!! I know in some places they will do the Blazin challenge - not sure if this place does or not... basically it's - eat 6 blazin wings and wait for five minutes or so without drinking any water. Not sure what the prize is, but if you want to hurt yourself go for it! :) The sauce itself is worth trying once - but you need to work your way up to the sauce. Try wild for some time and jump into blazin if you are ready! As for the service - it's hit or miss - and it doesn't matter if it's busy or not. I was there when it was slow and your waitress was hard to find... they came by once every 15 min or so to check on you... I would understand if the place was packed, but when its empty it shouldn't take 15 minutes for someone to check upon you. If you love wings and beers - give this place a try. By the way, did you know BW's used to be called BW3's? read more

It's more the atmosphere than the food. It's exactly what you think it will be -- food, beer, TVs. Would be nice if they had better TVs or better food. The beer is pretty good. The food is decent for a sports bar. The wings are consistently good. Parmesan garlic for the win! read more

I recently started eating meat again after being vegetarian for several years, so naturally, I ordered wings. Note to self: Snack size is more than sufficient. I got the small, which was 12 pieces. I enjoyed the wings - they make sure the quality is the same across all chains. I enjoy fried pickles, so that is always a plus here! Actually, I didn't know I enjoyed fried pickles until bdubs, so I thank them for that. In general, everything fried is pretty good here. They do fundraisers too, so it's great if you're in a student organization. It's always fun going with all your friends and for a good cause! read more

Went to BWW to have some appetizers and wing while we watch Super Bowl 50. Our server Erica has done a great bringing us hot pretzels, potato wedges, chips and queso. Halftime and wing when the 2nd half kicks off. Lots of people in the resturant and the staff is busy doing a good job. read more

I had a horrible experience! Gray tator tots, overcooked wings, horrible service! They didn't even clear our table untill 20 minutes after we got there! read more

DO NOT ORDER PICKUP FROM HERE If it takes 90 minutes to wait for 10 chicken wings to go then that's just ridiculous and rude. Especially if I was told there would be a 20 minute wait for a pick up order on a Tuesday night that was not busy at all. What is more surprising is that multiple customers after me walked in and out faster than I did. One of your staff members (Alexis) was very rude and unapologetic to me and my group of friends there. I don't really understand why she was giving attitude for the slow and inconsiderate service for us to wait an hour and a half for TEN (the small size) wings. Avoid and please just order to go elsewhere! read more

B DUBBBS! If you are like me, the only reason you go to a Bdubs is to watch some sporting event that you cant watch at home. You are too cheap to pay for PPV or cable, and you tried to stream it off an illegal website but then freaked out when that ad popped up that goes fullscreen and opens up an additional dialog box each time you close it. Anyways, for this purpose, Bdubs is awesome. Instead of paying 70 bucks for PPV and herdings cats to get people to split the cost with you, I can go to this fine establishment, order really salty meat covered in bread and fried, and lie to myself that carrots and celery count as eating my vegetables. However, for any other reason, I cannot imagine going to Bdubs. I wouldn't really choose to eat her just for the wings, and I would never recommend that you take a date here, unless you guys are into post dinner intestinal discomfort. read more

I generally like to stay away from reviewing chains, but bdubs is too much a part of my college experience that I couldn't leave it unreviewed. The atmosphere in here is great, though it's not much different from other BWW restaurants; there are tons of TVs, and all kinds of sports -- from baseball to basketball to football to MMA, you name it. It's not like exceptionally rowdy, though you do have to understand that it's a sports bar with passionate sports fans. Of course, they serve wings here to go with your TV, and they're exactly as advertised! They have boneless and bone-in options, of all different quantities and sauces. My favorites are honey BBQ and Asian Zing, but all are good (except spicy garlic, I wasn't a fan of). The prices are pretty reasonable, I think $7 gets you 5, $10 gets you 9 maybe? I can't quite remember. The important part is that the chicken is always well cooked and the sauces always add that extra somethin somethin. I think carrots and celery are extra and drinks are reasonably priced. Other important thing: Mondays and Wednesdays are 70 cent boneless wings and Tuesdays are half off traditional wings. Save the date! Another awesome thing about this location is that they offer trivia on Wednesdays from 9-10 and 10-11! The rounds are completely independent so you can come play either one or both. It's super low key since the trivia host will announce the questions over the speakers and you just fill out the answers and give it to him. This means you can sit anywhere in the restaurant and still order food and watch sports and whatever. Best of all, it's free (though you should buy some food/drink), and winners get gift cards! No matter when or why I come, I always know what to expect from the food and the atmosphere, and I'm always pleased with what I get! read more

Had a pickup order. Arrived 5 minutes after order was ready and no one was at the pick up station. Asked a waiter to go check and she said the order was being prepared. Waited for another 15 minutes before they realized my order was in the heater. The chicken wasn't seasoned well. read more

This location is TERRIBLY unorganized. They didn't even put my order in so when I got there they couldn't find it; not that they tried very hard to look for it. Then I tried to re-order and they wouldn't let me use the sauces I ordered last time. I call another location and it ends up this location wasn't even telling customers the right special and was giving out the wrong number of wings to people over the phone. Don't go here, the one near Briarwood Mall has had way better service and employee training so far. They just don't seem to care at this one. read more

Absolutely absurd. My friend's 21st birthday is today. He mentions to waitress that it's his 21st and her response is "That's fine." Bruh... He didn't tell her to make sure that it was okay that he was turning 21. Waitress complained about literally anything we did. Step up your game BWW. Please. My friend and I are still waiting on our loaded nachos with chicken. It'll probably make me a loaded nachos if it ever comes the way this night is going. read more

I tried to bring 30 people to have dinner at this location at 7 PM. FYI, we had reservations. Our reservations were disregarded and we were told to leave. We would've spent over one thousand dollars; however, this location would not serve us. I'm sorely disappointed read more

Employees are super negative and act like they HAVE to be here. Waitresses audibly bad mouthing management. Bar tender bad mouthing customers. Asked if they were playing the fights, they literally said, "I don't know, wait and find out." Time to find a better place for wings, UFC and good service. Btw, I never feel the need to leave a review unless it's positive but this was really bad. read more

The Wang service at this establishment is very poor. They took our order within two minutes, and then did not come back for at least an hour with our food. read more

Really empty yet telling ppl at the door 45 mins . Our food took over another hour... the waitress was nice but what the f%&*

Drinks are cheap as chips. Food unless it's a random half off night is overpriced. The meat on the wings are kinda skimpy but the sauces compensate. read more

You ruined my brother's birthday. I almost never give bad reviews but WOW this was a doozy! It took 30 minutes just to get a drink because they were so understaffed. Tables were covered in trash from other guests that never got cleared. Then it took over an hour to get the food, which was cold. THEN to really top it off they RAN OUT OF FRIES, who runs out of fries?? And then they still tried to charge us for it. This is honestly just super awful management. The poor servers were running around and losing their minds. It's a long weekend so management should have prepared. The worst part is we still had to pay $50 for like the worst cold not even what we wanted food. What an awful way to spend a birthday. (Also someone in line said it was even an hour to get food the day before) Buffalo Wild Wings DO BETTER read more

Worse service ever!! This only pertains to one of the server ladies, not the others. We have been to this location multiple times and she is the only one who gives bad service. Not only is she slow at checking up on us and forgetful on what we request, she is not attentive. I know that one server should not affect a whole establishment, but honestly, I was so dissatisfied with this experience that I don't care. read more

Been to this Buffalo Wild Wings location three times and have had terrible service every time. The food is standard Bdubs food but the staff and hosts have made me not want to come back. The first time I came it was a busy Sunday afternoon so I understood the wait, but the second two times the place was almost empty with maybe one or two tables taken up but I had to wait 10 - 15 minutes just to have someone greet me and take me to a table while waiting by the front. I even went in and asked one of the waiters if I could just walk in and they told me to wait by the front and someone would be there. The third time I waited for about 10 minutes before I got fed up and just left without ever being seated or talked to. read more

This place is AWESOME. We came in prior to dinner on a busy football Saturday and the hostess was honest and encouraged us to be seated now (versus walking around downtown), or we would come back to a full joint. We obliged and sat and started with some drinks and this place started to fill quickly! Our waitress was incredibly friendly and responsive, despite being responsible for the entire section as it became more and more full. When inquring about different beers, she took the time out of her busy section to get me a few samples. The waitress was amazing, she spoke to us like we were her friends and made us feel comfortable and did not rush us in any way, despite us deciding we wanted to stay during the entire football game. We ordered wings and burgers, and while it understandably took the kitchen a little longer to prepare on a busy night, both were fresh and tasty. I got the parmesan sauce on my regular wings and the wings were extremely hot and had the perfect crisp to them. The sauce was creamy, salty, and tangy and was drenched perfectly over the wings - no spot went uncovered. My fiances burger, although just a "regular" burger, was fresh and juicy, and he devoured every bite. Of course it was all washed down with cold beer and a great atmosphere. They have a massive amount of seating but not once did I feel cramped! Definitely the place to be for watching any sporting events, but definitely get there early! read more

Note self dont order online,missing food call ask bout she says I'm looking at but nothing I can do,very rude n not helpful at all...

First off I love Buffalo Wild Wings but lemme tell you, Kelly took it to a whole 'nother level. The MOST friendly waitress I've ever had. On point recommendations and such nice service. She didn't even make fun of me when I cried cause I went to the urinal without washing my hands. Ask for Kelly Hands down. read more

The service is really unfriendly and unhelpful, it's like the employees are extremely underpaid... The speed is intolerably slow. The waiter promise that 20 minutes is the maximum waiting time but we wait for over 50 minutes. We got no explanation for this delay, and definitely no apology. read more

This is my favorite spot to hang out in Ann Arbor. I'm a local bartender, and the staff here is amazing! Sam and Ron are among the best bartenders in the city, and the atmosphere and management is great. Definitely the best Bdubs I've ever been to. read more

This review is solely for the service, it's the worst. The service is better at other locations. Granted, the food is not bad, boneless wings are decadent and the sauces are fused well into the chicken. --Drinks are begrudgingly, slowly refilled. --Servers play favorites with customers. --You hardly see your server --Takes way too long to be acknowledged by hostess to get seated, and to be acknowledged by a server once seated --Not welcoming staff overall, except for one, who I rarely see now Would recommend takeout read more

When I walked in there was no host/ess at the stand so I had to seat myself. I waited 10 minutes for my server to even approach the table. I ordered off the fast break menu. It took 25 minutes and I still didn't have my food so I asked my server if we could discuss the 15 minutes or it's free option. She said they weren't honoring that today because they were short staffed and whoever sat me when I walked in should have told me that. I told her there was nobody when I walked in. She went to talk with the manager and came back 10 minutes later and gave me the certificate and said the manager was too busy to talk to me. "Like I said... we are short staffed today." She then took an additional 10 minutes to get my food to me and didn't bring any silverware or a refill for my drink. I had ask the bus person to bring me a to go box because I had to get back to work. (Again... this took forever!) I was 20 minutes late getting back to work and I have an hour lunch break! read more

My first decent experience at a Buffalo Wild Wings! (Or shall I say "B-Dubs," as you kids like to call it.) We have one of these back near my home in Jersey. I have only been there a few times, and every time it's been a total shitshow. You can almost never get a seat at the bar, service is shoddy, and the clientele leaves little to be desired. I also don't recall the wings being all that memorable, save for the mango habanero sauce, which is indeed very good. Fast forward to my recent trip to Ann Arbor where 10 or so of us managed to snag a bunch of tables in the bar area. We pushed them all together, and the carnage began immediately. I don't know how many pounds of wings or gallons of beer and shots we went through, but it was a lot. And it went on for hours and hours on end. My crew is very serious when it comes to beer, bourbon, and wings. Surprisingly, I found the wings to better than average. Piping hot, super crispy, and perfectly dressed. I can't say they beat my favorite wings back home at the Golden Lion Inn, but they were damn good. What really earned them the extra star though was the service. Our waiter was excellent. He was on top of our table all night long. My drink was never empty. And he brought the food out in perfect waves such that nothing ever got cold. Good stuff, B-Dubs! And good stuff the Michigan folks that hang out here. You are all decidedly less jamokey than your wing-loving compadres back in Jersey. I might actually come back! read more

Excellent wings and boneless wings. I'm especially fond of the spicy garlic and Asian zing sauces, although both medium and hot hold a special place in my heart for their classic flavor. My friends with a higher heat tolerance than I swear by Hot BBQ or Wild. If you're feeling particularly lard-a-licious, the potato wedges (plain) are excellent. Fairly extensive beer list, albeit with few interesting or unusual choices. They do usually serve at least one Sam Adams seasonal and one Bell's seasonal, and often have dirt cheap Bud/Miller/Coors specials. I don't recommend the cocktails--they're designed for the novice drinker who enjoys very sugary, fruity concoctions with low quality liquor. I also don't particularly recommend the tenders, which need to be dipped in the sauce--the boneless wings are a better alternative because they arrive sauced. B-Dubs is a poor choice for vegetarians, and an awful choice for vegetarians who don't eat shrimp. B-Dubs is a decent place to watch sports, but beware: They sometimes hire a live DJ on Friday nights. Aside from this being totally bizarre, they will mute any games so the DJ can play his music, so you may want to avoid this venue for any important Friday night games. And one final warning: Take out quality tends to be relatively poor. After one too many orders of skimpily sauced take out wings, we've opted to dine in only. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings might be one of the most overrated restaurants on campus in Ann Arbor. That being said, the food isn't horrible really -- much more on the mediocre side. As it is a chain, you get some pretty average chicken wings, with some classic all American sides and drinks. What really brings this place down for me is the service. Wait times can be horrendous. Even when this place isn't busy, you can sometimes have to wait upwards of an hour due to how understaffed they are (which can be frustrating because you see so many open tables), and then you'll wait another 30 minutes to order and then another hour before you get your food, meaning you've spent 2 hours and 30 minutes at this place before you start eating. When they ARE busy (during big games, etc.), all those wait times often double or triple. Additionally, prices have been increasing steadily over the past couple years that I've been a student in Ann Arbor and they've slowly been rolling back on their half-off wing nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays for traditional and boneless wings, dialing it back to around a 25-30% discount currently. I wouldn't be surprised if they continued to pull back on their discounts and increase their prices as well. There are a couple nice, semi-redeeming qualities about BWW. They're open late (until 2AM most nights), and there's plenty of seating inside once you do get seated (especially for large parties). Other than that, the food is quite mediocre (especially for the price tag) and the service is downright horrible at times -- definitely not my favorite place to eat in Ann Arbor. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - small traditional lemon pepper (dry rub) wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I cannot figure out why people love Buffalo Wild Wings...I used to visit the location in Ypsilanti years ago and it was much better. I've been dragged into "A2 B-dubs" as it's known to my coworkers, on many occasions and the food is, for lack of a better term, VILE. None of the wings are crisp or crunchy. They are decidedly limp, flabby, and mushy and somehow bring to mind a cooked baby's arm...*shivers* I've tried many, many flavors and even tho some of the sauces are tasty it can't make up for the scary texture of the wings. The sandwiches are all lackluster except for the various permutations of fried chicken-finger rollups...which are ok/edible. The fried appetizers are ok as well, nothing special. Service is always friendly, upbeat, and prompt but I feel bad that they have to serve such gross food. read more

This was my first visit to the buffalo "wild" wings in Ann Arbor. I sat at the bar and my bartender was a charming young lass by the name of Tricia. At first, I just had a few glasses of vodka as I was unsure what the "accepted drink" was in Michigan. Later, after the mild drinks had settled in, I decided to try the "wild" wings. I asked for the "wild" sauce but was disappointed when there was no sauce that was specifically called "wild". I called my mom to explain, but she was already asleep, so I decided to make my bartender (Tricia) my new Mom. She promptly responded to the name "Mommy", so I immediately knew I had to leave a 5 star review. I ended up choosing the "blazin" sauce at the recommendation of Tricia and was not disappointed. Indeed, the blazin sauce was wild, so I'm happy to report that the buffalo "wild" wings are, in fact, "wild". I also ordered $4 mozzarella sticks and they were cold and had sauce spilled on them and I asked to have them removed from my order. Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't. Try it and find out and maybe you will get free mozzarella sticks. read more
