"As a secret diner, my role is to observe every detail, and this place failed on multiple fronts. When I visited on 09/07, it took the bartender 20 minutes just to acknowledge me. I ordered a drink and appetizer, which came quickly, but after that, things fell apart. I placed my food order at 2:47, and despite the place not being busy at all, I didn't get my food until 3:30. During this time, the bartender vanished for 10 minutes, with receipts piling up on the counter. When I asked about my order, she casually mentioned that they had to remake it because it was wrong. When my food finally arrived--guess what?--it was still wrong! No apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake, just tossed in the trash like it didn't matter. The lack of care was obvious. She didn't offer to involve a manager or try to make things right. It was clear she just didn't care. Save your money--this place doesn't seem to value your money.

Came here Thursday 8/28 around 11 o'clock for lunch. Restaurant is mostly empty, a few other tables with patrons. My husband and I sit at the bar. We shortly order because we are hungry. Our wait for our food was over an HOUR long. Two meals. An HOUR... the bartender came and went. Her service was ok, but then majority of the time she was not behind the bar. We do not know where she was. That part was frustrating because when we did need something we had to wait to ask her. If I had know the wait for the food in a mostly empty restaurant would take an HOUR... I would have never come here. I'm extremely disappointed in the service that we had. You guys should not be open for business if it's going to take you an hour to heat up chicken wings and a sandwich at LUNCH TIME. read more

This was our first visit at this location and most likely the last. The WORST experience ever. I waited 10 minutes at the to go counter before being acknowledged. This was 10 minutes after my pick up time. Once she checked on my order she stated they were still working on it and it would be another 10 minutes. 16 minutes later - different employee finally brought my bag. No confirmation my order was correct; Just have a good day. Since I had waited that long I thought, better check my order before I leave- I have a 20 minute drive. I ordered 4 flavors of boneless wings and only 3 of the 4 squares had boneless wings in them. It took me 5 minutes to get someone to assist me with my incorrect order. The lady took my receipt and was going to ask the kitchen to correct my order. I'm frustrated and ask if it can be rushed due to the already long wait and she does apologize and say that the cooks in the kitchen are new and it's going slow today. Another lady came back out and asked what flavor I was missing. It was between the spicy garlic or mild, she mentioned it was probably the honey bbq but I could clearly see there was that and the honey garlic in the box. The mild and spicy garlic, honestly couldn't tell which. She then seems frustrated and asks to take the box to the kitchen so the cooks can figure it out. I personally do not like sending partial food back but agreed seeing i'm 25 minutes past my pick up time and the food I do have is getting COLD. She comes back with the box and says, here you go, you should be good now. No apologies for the inconvenience, nothing. I get home with my order, of course the fries are rock hard, the chicken is cold and the NACHOS... well terrible. Even given the consideration of my drive, I knew it wasn't going to taste like eating it fresh at the restaurant but the delays at the restaurant didn't help. In all the frustration at the restaurant, I didn't realize we didn't get our celery, carrots or ranch until I got home. Really disappointed in this visit! read more

Forget the wings, let's highlight what's actually important here. Ball. Where else you gonna go sit down for 3 hours and yell at Javonte Williams for losing me this week. Now I gotta take the sat as punishment. Mf I graduated like 6 years ago. Gdi. Anyways, w bogo Tuesday deal the value is kinda cracked, the tater tots are fire, FREE RANCH, free soda refills that they just bring to you without you having to ask, they got lemon pepper dry rub now, they got booths that seat 6 comfortably instead of only 4. What more you want. The wings won't blow you away but they DAM solid especially for bogo. Get the app and do the trivia. Don't draft Javonte Williams boys. read more

Food took about 45 minutes for 2 people and they even forgot the fries when our food arrived - Outrageous. Ambience was decent though shout out K Tom read more

Me and my boyfriend went there for some wings (as one does). We have ordered a pick up order from this location many times, and it has either been wrong, missing items, or a longer wait than expected. We thought going in would make a difference, maybe they just suck at pick up orders right? No. Anyways, so we go and we order at 7:30pm. Around 8:30pm the people across from us at the bar, that were already a few beers in when we got there, were just getting their food. We realized, we would be there for a while just to eat some damn wings. Me and my boyfriend thought it was best to leave. NEVER going again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Wow!!!!! Buffalo Wild Wings... you really disappointed me and my family today. Went in there for lunch today and ordered the bottomless app and 3 lunch specials. Received the first 2 apps , our lunch came out after. A big party came in and we were forgotten. When the waitress came to our table she handed me the check. What? Hey Katherine, we weren't done with ordering our bottomless apps!!!! She said you can still order them with an attitude. I felt we were totally forgotten. Didn't even come to ask if we needed refills. She was very inattentive. Asked to speak to a manager. Joshua came out after 20 minutes and that was a waste of my 20 minutes cause it was like talking to a wall. No express or anything. Now wonder you are having so many Specials to try to get people in but do they stay. According to Katherine she hands them the check and try's to walk away. Get with it BWW!!!! Won't back again!!!! It wasn't All that anyways!!!! read more

All I can say is who serves wings with feathers still on them manager says "oh yeah you can eat them, I have." zero solution. Server tells us after that "they're not supposed to serve the ones with feathers". Zero solution again aside from all of us wanting to throw up, all I can do is laugh. Nasty. Super slow service. Wait forever for everything. Dirty. read more

So. As you can see they literally just had nuggets and drizzled sauce over it, not even a wing. the wings to the right were similar except just drowning in sauce and literally not round. Those were all breading with barely any meat. I can tell they were either frozen before or old. Dissapointed today bc i just wanted meat. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - wings - American Near Me - Oceanside, California

Looked up BWW on Google and it implied that there is happy hour on beer, wine and some cocktails. Tried to order house wine but the rude attendant said no happy hour on wine. So I looked at the menu and it wasn't that expensive for Pinot Grigio. But when I ordered she curtly said they are out of that but they have another brand. The other brand was around $17! I walked out next door to the ROADHOUSE where the service and ambiance are much better . I won't be going back to BWW Vista and probably none of their other restaurants. read more

This is my first online Door Dash App order that I have placed on this Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant Website. I wanted to eat something New and from a different restaurant. I saw this Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant Website that keeps appearing every time I place my online order on the Door Dash App or the Door Dash website. My online order was the One Crispy Chicken Sandwich that included shredded lettuce, sliced dill pickles, sliced tomatoes, and sweet onions, I paid an extra charge of $1.00 more to add one slice of the cheddar cheese and I also added the Honey BBQ Sauce, Southwest Ranch Sauce and Mustard as my condiments to spread onto both the top and the bottom inside these brioche buns. The price is $19.63. This also included a soft drink. I chose the Mug Root Beer it comes in one regular size cup with easy ice. My side dish that I had ordered was the one serving of these Potato Wedges. These Potato Wedges still have the skins on them and they are cut into bite size pieces that are baked to a crispy golden brown color. It was recommended to me to add this topping onto these Potato Wedges which is the Sharp Shredded melted Cheddar Cheese. I agreed with this selection. I love potato wedges it is a good option when I want to eat something different than the standard French Fries. These Potato Wedges is included with this Crispy Chicken Sandwich order. The details on these fees, I am required to pay when I place my online order on the Door Dash App or their website. The subtotal is $19.63. The delivery fee was originally $9.99 almost $10.00 wow, that is a high delivery fee but since I have a Door Dash Pass Membership when I spend a minimum order on $12.00 I will receive FREE DELIVERY for this online order. The expanded range fee is $1.49. The service fee was $3.00 but was reduced down to $1.04. The estimated tax was $1.30. I paid more money because I wanted to have my online Door Dash Order delivered to me faster tonight for my dinner meal. I paid the extra $2.99 for this express delivery. I also received a Discount on $3.93 for this total Door Dash App online order. That is a good deal and I saved close to $4.00 on this one online order tonight. My dasher tip I have chosen for Thomas was $5.00. I think I am being generous to Thomas in giving him a $5.00 tip. I heard that a lot of people they don't give these Dasher delivery drivers NO TIP at all. That isn't fair to these delivery drivers because these tips are very important to them. My total order bill was $27.52. This total amount was charged to my NFCU Credit Card Account today. My online Door Dash Order was delivered to me by Thomas this Dasher Delivery Driver at 7:01 p. m. on time. Thomas handed me one large bag on the Wild Buffalo Wings Restaurant Order and my One Mug Root Beer Soft Drink at the promised time tonight. I took this large white package with my One Mug Root Beer Soft Drink into my house. Then I started to unpack everything from this large white bag and I placed this one Mug Root Beer on the dining room table. I unpacked the one box of the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the one box on the Potato Wedges. I re-heated both of these food items in my microwave oven. These items were warm when I received them that's the reason I re-heated these two food items. Then I took out both of these two items separately and placed both the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the Potato Wedges onto separate plates and placed both of them on my dining room table to get ready to eat them for my dinner meal tonight after 7 p. m. I notice that I usually receive a lot of napkins from other fast food restaurants that I have placed my Door Dash online orders from, but I didn't get any napkins at all from this Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant. That is unusual for me. I assume that whoever packed up my Door Dash online order that person forgot to put napkins in this bag. This note is to the manager please next time when I place my online Door Dash order to put a lot of napkins included with my next order. Thank you. This Crispy Chicken Sandwich has this brown paper that is wrapped around this sandwich. That has helped me eat this Crispy Chicken Sandwich but when I added these various sauces like the Honey BBQ Sauce, the Southwest Ranch Sauce and the Mustard that was spread onto the top and bottom of these two buns. Whenever I take bites of this Crispy Chicken Sandwich these sauces were a really good combo but the sauces were dripping outside of this bun. It is a really messy sandwich. I was lucky that I had one roll of paper towels to wipe both of my hands with. I had to use about 4 large size paper towels with so napkins are really necessary if you order this Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The breading on the outside is very crispy and flavorful and the thicker cut on this Chicken Breast meat was very juicy and really tender. It was very delicious. The crispy Potato Wedges were also really delicious. The Mug Root Beer was very good and I love root beer. read more

Service was so slow. Waited 20min+ for someone to even put in my pick up order. Restaurant wasnt even busy and half the servers were occupied vacuuming a completely clean floor. No care for their customers at all. read more

I was stuck between a 3 & 4 star review but ultimately went with 4 because the staff here is kind and fairly attentive and the food is more often good than mediocre. It will get busy for a big sports game, which is when this place honestly thrives. Service kicks up, wings are fresh, albeit a bit pricey. But if you come in during a slow time, it has an awkward vibe. Lots of servers kind of meandering, waiting for a single table in their section. Might have to flag down your server when it's slow and you want something, but they're usually quick to help. Still my favorite spot to watch a game I care about as they have all the screens you could ask for and will play the audio over the speakers if you request it. read more

2.5 stars, rounded up. While I found the boneless chicken bites to be completely generic, I was impressed by the cheese curds, and kudos to the bartender for recommending the caramel sauce with them! The chicken was over-priced and over-sauced... I honestly think the chicken bites from The Habit are much better. For wings, I like when they're double-cooked and the sauce caramelizes... The curds! Ooh I loved em; fresh from the fryer, they were outstanding with the caramel sauce! And as leftovers, they were fantastic plain. I sat at the bar and got a show: an English gal was flirting with the long-haired, buff bartender, and I found it quite adorable and hilarious. Overall, I wouldn't choose this place on my own, but if friends want to return, I'd order from the app menu or maybe a burger. Pros: - lots of tvs - decent bar - the curds! - ample parking - friendly! - huge tables and wide bar Cons: - 'meh' chicken - read more

The best Buffalo Wild Wings I have ever been to. Order is made fresh, they have SWEET TEA, and they will never go without checking up on you and covering everything you may need. Very clean interior and exterior. The staff is beyond caring and understanding. Definitely will be back! read more

Disclaimer: I understand restraints are having staffing issues, and workers are overwhelmed The food was disgusting and overpriced. I get the economy is bad currently, but how can you raise prices and decrease quality?? The 20 boneless wings used to be less than $20 a few years ago and had a bright orange color and tasted good. Now it's $30 the color is gray and dead looking read more

I like this location. I have allergies and the staff go out of their way to make sure I can safely enjoy what I order.

Big parking lot. Not very busy but it's a Wednesday afternoon. Nice size restaurant with a patio out back that overlooks the freeway. Seemingly friendly group of employees this afternoon. Not too much else to report at this time. read more

Terrible service. We came in when there was no one there, and the service to even order appetizers or even get drinks was incredibly slow. Even after 30 minutes when like 5 more tables came in, they were served their entrees before we even had our order taken. Left after we received our appetizers. read more

Took forever, and the wings were burnt. Worst service I have ever experienced. WOW. The server was monotone and rude. Buffalo Wild Wings is a disappointment now, read more

The service here is habitually bad. Very slow and they are always understaffed. I probably have waited 45 plus for food each time I've gone.

I was able to enjoy the padres cubs game today here. Paige was the absolute best server I have ever had. She was very attentive the atmosphere was amazing and the food was hot fresh and fast. Thank you again Paige! read more

Been pretty unhappy with BWW nationwide for a couple years now. When the forest opened they were awesome and it stayed that way for a few years. Now it seems they cannot keep up with the inflating economy or the shift in demand of the customer base. This particular BWW is smaller than others and still poorly managed. Always a lengthy wait at the door, always enough seating, never enough staff. I don't think I have ever seen this location more than 40% full. Most of the staff clearly hate their jobs and the quality of both food and service suffer. There is one server who is actually really upbeat, talk guy, glasses, beard, brown hair, very cool guy. He should quit and go work somewhere for more money and better advancement. There seems to always be an altercation among customers and staff or among staff. Food typically arrives late. This place is rapidly going the way of Sizzler. Might need to. Save your money. If you're looking for wings, there are plenty of other places that serve great wings and you'll have much better experience. read more

Samantha was friendly, attentive, and made our visit to Buffalo Wild Wings a great one. She took care of everything with a smile and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service all around! read more

Service was terrible. We waited 20+ minutes until we decided to leave because they still hadn't taken our drinks yet. MANY servers passed by without even acknowledging us. read more

Service was really bad. It was a Friday night, but actually wasn't super busy. When we saw our server walk in a daze to a 10 person table to take their orders and ID each person, we decided it best to walk up to the bar to get the beer that was just sitting there. We got our appetizer and then ordered another appetizer, because we were waiting for our two SALADS for an hour. I finally got up to look in the kitchen door for a manager, and saw our server standing there casually chatting with another employee...and laughing. She finally came out and we told her to just comp the part of the order we did get. She stated they couldn't do that. Omg! Terrible! We left and went to Chilis. read more

Listen to all the bad reviews, this location sucks. Right off bat they told us they're out of sodas, lol comical but not the end of the world. Our server, I believe her name is Emily, was doing the absolute bare minimum. It is hilarious how bad her service was, she took over 5-10 minutes to greet us, take our order, then disappeared for 35-40 minutes until our food came out. My daughter's burger and fries were overcooked, the meat was basically black and charred, the fries were way over done. Wings were whatever barely room temperature. Emily NEVER came in to check on us after we got our food until I asked for the check because we had finished our meal because we were hungry af. That's another 30 minutes of not asking AT THE VERY LEAST how the food is tasting. I'm a server myself and it was laughable. She got the bare minimum tip for her bare minimum service. She needs to improve her attitude if she's gonna work in customer service, didn't even try once to fake it by smiling. Please go somewhere else to spend your hard earned money read more

I was in a party of 9, and it took us about 25 minutes to get seated, even though the place was practically empty on a Tuesday afternoon at 3 PM. Our servers were absolutely lovely and very patient with us (we're a party of college kids). However, I paid a whoopin' $17.99 for this. For the size of portion, I wouldn't exactly say it's completely worth the price--but it still tasted amazing nonetheless :) read more

Worst service ever! We walked in and it was not busy, they had one larger party before us. No one attending at door, two waitresses leaning up against the wall near kitchen entrance clearly saw us, we made eye contact mind you, as we were going to approach them they turned around and scurried into the kitchen as to not help us. What the heck??? Seriously attitude. Then one of them served us one of our plates and had the most insincere attitude. Lady if you don't like your job, then don't show up. Definitely left a sour taste. No wonder places are failing, with staff like that! read more

Got food poisoning from here. I had the unlimited appetizers and 12 count wings. I've had an upset stomach for 48 hours so far, who knows when it will subside. I've lost my appetite and have a very bad case of diarrhea. I was there with 4 friends and everyone is feeling the same. Not sure if it was just this place but I will not be going back to a BWW again. read more

Me & my family came here earlier tonight to eat dinner. There were a lot of people sitting on one side of the restaurant, so our waitress was attending to other tables which is understandable. When it came time to bring our appetizers everything was good up until we got our entrees. My brother's burger bun was literally rock solid and there was no way he could bite through it. The patty and the bacon on the burger were burnt. My mom never received her food. My wings were so dry, not appetizing. The only good thing was the appetizers. When we told our waitress about the food being horrible she gave my aunt attitude and started talking with her hands. I do not recommend this please nor will I ever come back. read more

The service was bad it took over a hour to get our food and we started to receive it in increments. The food was horrible the wings were dry the burger's were burnt like I mean charred and the bun was so hard it felt like a hockey pucks. We sent it back and waited another 20 min to get another burnt burger. Then we tried to talk to the manager who was nice at first but then started to be sarcastic when we explained our frustration ! The Gm does not know how to run the place . And the server Kaleigh was rude and snobby and slow . she did not know how to address us after she realized we complained . we will never return to this Buffalo Wild Wings rather drive out of county to eat what we love at another wing place. read more

Service horrible. Food nasty. Ambiance dirty. I mean really awful. The men's room is literally wreaking of urine and there is so much piss all over the floor that your shoes stick. Best use of this restaurant would be, buy a gift certificate for your worst enemy and send them here. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Chicken "tenders". But it's really chicken strips that are tough dry and stringy. False advertising to call them tenders. - American Near Me - Oceanside, California

first, you have to order from your phone. there are no real servers anymore. the wings always come cold and soggy, like they've been sitting out for three days. as gordon ramsay would say, "is this frozen???" unfortunately BWW used to be a regular place for us. it seems like corporate is trying to cut corners with using bad ingredients and cutting down on servers. sad! read more

The line varies depending on the day but there are shopping spots nearby so you can put your name on the list and prolly just come back. My favorite ones are lemon and pepper and the Asian zing. Service is fast and if you love to watch sports, it's perfect since they got different ones going on at the same time. The drinks aren't as strong though but if you're into beers, they have a lotsa choices for you. I love the sports bar noise of loud music and loud people. It's always fun when I visit this restaurant! read more

Am I really doing a review for another Buffalo Wild Wings? My wife is from Ohio, where she ate at the original store, and was ecstatic when they opened a franchise near us in Encinitas. We came a couple times and always had the exact same experience; televisions too loud to talk over, bored and inattentive service, really high prices, and wings charred into nuggets that were almost impossible to chew, served with little-to-no seasoning or sauce. The first time, she swore up and down that it was better back east and that it may have been a bad day. After that, she agreed that B-Dubs sucked. Years later, a location opened in Carlsbad and with my son demanding chicken wings for his birthday, we were hard up for a place to go after it turned out that Epic Wings n' Things next door was standing room only and a 30 minute line just to order. So, with a sigh in our hearts, we turned to nearest 2nd option. It was marginally better. On the night we came, the place was about a third full. Despite this, many tables were stacked with dirty plates and glasses. Apparently they were short-staffed, evident by watching the hostess repeatedly disappearing into the back to serve food and by the to-go cashier constantly leaving to go wait tables while bagged food waited to be paid for and taken. With this backdrop, we began the 20 minute wait to be seated. Thankfully, the televisions weren't too loud. No one eating there, not even those at the bar, seemed particularly interested in the Bengals/Bills game, not even after Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field. I had the Classic Chicken Sandwich; a simple, breaded and fried chicken breast with mayo and pickles on a sweet bun. Not all that good, but not especially bad. The fries that came along were the best part, not too greasy and nicely seasoned. I mainly chose it since it felt mildly healthier than other options. Also on the table were an order of Ultimate Nachos with Grilled Chicken. This was pretty tasty, but quickly turned into a soggy mess since the chips were so thin under the liquid from two types of salsa, two types of melted cheese, and chicken ... none of which seemed to have been drained well before topping. The third of it we took home was quickly thrown away since it couldn't even be picked up with a fork. The wings, on the other hand, were actually not too bad. Not the biggest, but well fried and juicy without being dried out or overly chewy. We only got variations of their BBQ sauce, but they were nicely sweet with a hint of heat to each. The leftovers reheated well or were enjoyed cold. Something I couldn't say for any of the chicken we've ever ordered from a Buffalo Wild Wings before. In the end, a slightly more enjoyable visit to one of these franchises, but still nothing to want to bring me back. The chicken is vastly better across the street from here. Management obviously doesn't do much for the employees, since they can't seem to field a full crew. Which made for an overly long, crowded by dirty dishes, and only mildly appetizing experience. read more
