Ding dong, the witch is dead. This place, whether due to the lack of care from servers, or lack of care from food, or whatever else, has to be one of the fastest closings I've seen yet. Brutal to have waited for it for so long, and then for it to be so bad and immediately leave. At least the place looked nice? read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Closed Sign - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Came to watch some weekend games and try the super reasonably priced Pick 6 for Two deal (two entrees, two sides, and two fountain drinks). While the boneless wings, potato wedges, and drinks tasted just fine, I probably won't be returning anytime soon. This particular location of the popular chain, while clean and spacious, remained nearly empty our entire time there, which doesn't exactly provide the most fun ambience for a sports fan. Likely due to the lack of other patrons, service was attentive (good) but actually overly so (not good), with multiple staff coming by our table a little too often for us to simply relax and enjoy ourselves! read more

My wife loves wings and wanted to come here on her birthday (she insisted). It was somewhat lively with about half the tables full and TV's everywhere. This is definitely a nicer location than the one in Mission Valley which I remember to be rowdy and chaotic. The wings are tiny and not cheap. Flavor was excellent although we thought the spice was a lot more mild than expected. We have the BWW Mango Habanero sauce at home and the sauce here barely tingled. We got the hottest dry rub flavor as well and it was flavorful but mild in spiciness as well. They were running a bottomless apps promo for $12.99 which was a great deal. Had we known earlier, we would've ordered less wings, but the apps we got were excellent (Queso chips, mozz sticks, fried pickles, onion rings). Our server was very sweet but extremely busy. We did end up waiting a bit towards the end but I think the staff was dealing with something that came up. She also said that BWW doesn't do anything for birthdays but she gave us a slice of cheesecake (which was really good). She definitely made our experience more memorable and pleasant. read more

I rolled in with my hungry crew of 8 at 5:30 pm. We were able to grab a big table that seated 10 right next to several large TVs with no wait and no reservation. It was fully packed by 6:15 pm. They had a limited time all you can eat wings menu for $24.95 for a mix of traditional and boneless wings. This option is available Monday through Thursday. Our entire table ordered the all you can eat. You get unlimited fries and raw veggies on the side. First order is 10 wings then each subsequent order is 6 wings. Each order takes a decent amount of time to order so I recommend getting your next order in as quickly as possible. They have a large variety of toppings. My favorite was the lemon pepper sauce (non dry rub) and I ordered it on the side which kept the wings extra crispy. Unfortunately, the kitchen got several of our orders incorrect. We ordered 4 orders of 6 boneless wings and each time the wings came traditional (bone-on). We had to send them back to the kitchen and the correct order came around 30 minutes later. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive consistently coming back to take our refills and ensure our drinks were topped off. Overall though, it was a solid experience and would come again! read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Traditional Lemon Pepper Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

I really used to like this place when it was in Mission Valley, but I was quite disappointed that it wasn't up to how I remembered it was. First off, for ordering online and having it ready at a certain time you think our order would have been ready or close to ready, but far from that. There's a reason people order ahead of time...and that is that we are timing it to be ready by a certain time because we have other things planned around that. When we got there it was definitely not busy. We ended up waiting another 30 minutes! Yes, they apologized, but there wasn't a reasoning. Food was meh...I was hoping for better. I used to love the dry rub wings. I can't say the food will make me run back to eat there again anytime soon. But I always like giving restaurants a second try before I consider it NEVER going back. Waiting inside was nice. Music, decor was what a "Buffalo Wild Wings" would be. See you soon....hope its a win-over meal! read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - dedicated to go area - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

I usually love BWW, but this location was horrible. We ordered drinks, mozzarella sticks; and wings. Drinks and mozzarella came out in a normal time, and over an hour passed and we had not received our wings. Our waitress never even gave us the opportunity to ask her to check in on the wings. There were several times where the entire floor was void of any staff whatsoever (and kind you, the restaurant was not even half full when we arrived). We ended up dropping cash on the table to cover the drinks and mozz, and left an hour and a half after first ordering to head to Jollibee (SUPERIOR chicken that came out in under 2 minutes). read more

Came for the BOGO for national burger day and yeah obviously packed place and slow service but hey the waiter had a great attitude and you can watch your favorite sports game! Great place to meet to 4/5 on that regard but yeah the food is what you expect, not the worst and not the best. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Mushroom Swiss Burger and Bacon-Smashed Hatch Chile Burger - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Disclaimer: This review does not include any food pictures because our order was pretty boring. We ordered wings, a side of fries and onion rings (because ordering the appetizers of both would've been pricier and we'd have too much leftover. FYI: we were told the difference in size between the reg and large sides is about 1/2 lb vs 1 lb), and a kids burger meal. if you have eaten at B-Dubs before, the food is pretty much the same as far as menu selection, preparation, and presentation. The food came out quickly which was good because we were hungry. The restaurant was not busy (yet), so the hostess seated us quickly. Our server came over soon after. He answered our questions and took our orders. The food came soon after and he kept our cups full and napkins aplenty. The bathroom is located at the back behind the bar. You pass the entrance to the dining patio and hang a right past the bar. The women's restroom room is nice and clean. It has 2 stalls closest to the door and an accessible stall across from the sink. There is a diaper changing station that will block the first stall when it is open. I appreciate that it was not put in the accessible stall, but it will def cause a back up in the toilet line if someone has to change a diaper. There are a few handicap accessible parking spaces closest to the entrance, but not many. There is plenty of parking all around, but the closest ones are tight and can get congested, especially with all of the cars passing through. The cut outs for people using a mobility aid or stroller will be close to the accessible spaces. There are a lot of EV charging stations located near the restaurant. read more

Modern clean "great room" format location with several TVs of varying sizes and a large (but unshaded) outdoor seating area. Really a sports spectator's paradise. Went here at an unbusy time and service was attentive and friendly. Food was standard Buffalo Wild Wings fare but was freshly prepared and brought out to the table hot. read more

I really wanted to love this newer location and was hoping to share something different from the other reviews. Unfortunately, here was my experience: Hits: Nice location in Mira Mesa near shopping, Target, grocery stores, etc. and Kevin (bartender) was super nice and attentive. The inside was clean with multiple TVs that were very visible. Misses: The food came out super quick. Initially, I thought this was a good thing but soon found out that it seemed as if the kitchen was cutting corners. The wings dry and were not hot as if they were just cooked. It was almost like they were cooked in advanced and then warmed. The wedges were dry inside as well and were like they were cooked in advance and were under a warmer for a while. Worst part is that one person in our party got sick with an upset stomach immediately after eating. Overall service was good but the kitchen needs some serious work. read more

The wings were okay, not bad, but definitely not the best I've had. I actually prefer Wingstop when it comes to flavor. I called ahead to place my order and arrived at the time they gave me, but still ended up waiting quite a while, which was frustrating. Inside, the space looks like a decent spot to catch a game, plenty of room and TVs for sports. I actually liked the onion rings more than the wings, but it was an extra charge to upgrade the side. Service was just okay not particularly friendly or fast, but not rude either. Overall, it was fine, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back. I would go if they had a really good deal, but I wouldn't pay full price. read more

This is one of the smaller locations that I've been to. I met my friend here for happy hour and Thursday night football. It was interesting. There were quite a few people there because it was also bogo boneless wings night... We ordered 20 wings which were basically smaller sized chicken nuggets... I like it hot and got the wild sauce and the mango habanero. Meh. I didn't think it was very spicy. I've had this spice level a few years ago and it was wayyyy hotter. Please guys if someone wants it hot, make them pay! These restaurants act like it's some sort of liability to serve fire. Next time I go back I guess I'll get the hottest they have.The service was kind of slow as it took about ten minutes to get our drinks... We went with the chicken nachos next but there was zero spice to them. Completely bland. I asked for some salsa or Mexican hot sauce like tapatio and all they had to offer was wing sauce. It was really bizarre having what was basically buffalo chicken nachos... We didn't even finish it. I wasn't really impressed with my visit... The atmosphere felt really sterile and corporate... Just no soul to the place. I probably won't return to this location... Meh read more

My friend had a bad time but still recommended the place to us because of the AYCE deal on wings. My friend pointed out that the server who was super slow the first time they came was there wearing a sports shirt. She was still slow. Their first time there they had to wait 30-60 minutes for their food and within three hours they only had 3 rounds total of the AYCE. They also mentioned that the bar seats were terrible for their backs. Drink service was super slow, which we also encountered this visit here as well. This review is mainly for the stellar service we received today. Shout out to our server Martin who was quick on his feet the whole time! He kept coming back to our table to see if we wanted to place another order of wings. The first round was absolutely delicious. Hot and well seasoned. When the restaurant got busy, the later rounds were more on the drier side and less seasoned. Charlene was also very nice when she cleared our table to make room for more food. A little room for improvement would be refills on the water. Overall, they were all really nice. If you have time to spare here since the wait times could vary, I would recommend coming during off peak hours so there isn't a long wait. Good prices. Really great place to hang out and watch plenty of sports games (for as long as you want, but I don't recommend). They had the more popular games playing on the bigger screens. read more

The wings were super tasty. However the service was really slow. We did the unlimited wings deal. The first round of wings took about 15 minutes to come out. We didn't mind. The second round of wings took 20-25 minutes to come out. Not only did it take awhile for the wings to come out, it took awhile to flag down our server. My fiancé and I saw her walk near our table and we tried waving her down and even calling her name, but no response. When it came time to grab the check, it took over 30 minutes for us to flag someone down to get us the check. After telling one of the hostess about grabbing the check, I don't think she told our server because we waited awhile and still nothings. It wasn't until another 20 minutes till we flagged down the our waitress to get the check. Shortened version: the wings were tasty, the service is super slow read more

Nov. 25, 2025 Not much business, and not much crew. With less than 1/4 of the tables full, I sat 15 minutes after being seated and nobody visited me, once. Is it the cockroaches in the kitchen keeping the manager off the floor? Was it the rotten food in the walk-in? Was it just terrible management and a lackadaisical staff? Perhaps I should have known better. Perhaps my health is better protected by avoiding a joint like this anyways. read more

Opening Week...with that, this review is written with a lot of grace. As could be expected, the employees are still learning the process and hopefully over time things will only get better. Buffalo Wild WIngs as a brand is one that I trust already, so I am not letting my opening week experience be my last. Having said that, here is the current experience. Placed an online order around 4:30PM on a Tuesday with at 6PM pick up time. I arrived exactly at 6PM to pick up my order and was told, "We are still working on it, give us about 10 to 15 minutes."Not a problem for me, it allowed me to sit and observe the operation. The dining room area is nice, with a ton of tv's in every direction to watch the games. There is also an outside seating area with a few more TVs. The dining area is a little smaller than some of the stand-alone locations that I have been to before, but it is a decent size for the location. There appeared to be a lot of staff on hand for opening weekend. As I was sitting waiting for my order, I did witness several customers in the pick up / to go area complain about their order. Most of the complaints were for the wrong item being received and one of the complaints was for the size and value of her side salad. Food in the "to go" area was coming out slow. I waited a full 30 minutes for my online order, which was scheduled for a 6pm pick up. Every customer that picked up in my 30 minutes there was told that their order was not ready. When I finally got my order, I did double check everything and my order was correct. My only disappointment, with as long as the wait was, our food was cold. The wings were cold, the cheese curds were cold and the fries were cold... borderline stale. Everything tasted fine and a quick warm up in the microwave helped. Overall, like I said before...it's opening week. This spot is in my neighborhood, so I plan on visiting often and look forward to a better experience the next time. read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Inside dining area with all the TV's!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

The staff is so bad here and so many people know it by now. Management needs to wake up. Not sure how a staff can be so incompetent but we experience it every visit. Today was our third visit and it'll be the last. Service is always slow, logistics are terrible. Servers don't know what table ordered what food and constantly serve to wrong tables, waiters wait tables sporadically and often forget which table they're serving, the kitchen staff takes 40 minutes to cook your order, that is if they don't lose you order to begin with. Go to Mission Valley if you really want BWW because this has been a horrible addition to the Mira Mesa community. Really wish we got something else instead of this atrocity that is Buffalo Wild Wings. When we let management know our situation, you can tell they don't really care. There is ZERO accountability with the people here. Making the same mistakes over and over again with no corrective action. But this is why this place already has a horrible reputation and people are already avoiding it like the plague. One day when this place shuts down, it'll be a glorious day and maybe, just maybe, it can be replaced with a real food location that serves the community. read more

Amazing food! More amazing service by The awesome servers and bartenders. Love to go at happy hour.

We went here for the first time. We waited almost 20 minutes to order because they are short-staffed, but I give 4 stars because our server, Tivan, apologized for the wait. He is a good server; he keeps checking in to see if we need anything. It's not only us he is checking he is checking all his customers I can see it with my eyes how he works so hard. I was satisfied and it was a good experience because of the server Tivan. read more

1 star for ambiance given its new a location and very clean. 1 star for the bartender and his service because he was great. The kitchen needs some seriously work. No way wings can be cooked in less than 5 minutes. Wings were dry, and overcook as if they were premade. Wedges were so dry on the inside. It was so dead on a Monday night maybe less than 5 customers so no need for short cuts here. read more

I do not know how to review this because I'm conflicted. Staff was great- I only did take out but they were friendly and communicative. It's buffalo wild wings, I'm not going there for the most gourmet meal of my life. I'm going there because I am craving their food. So I manage my expectations. But i paid 11$ for 15 fried pickles... that's bullshit. The individual people do not set their prices but it's hard to believe they do not control portions. They always under sauce, at every location so I won't hold that against them. I forgot to ask for extra. I'll probably be back just because it's the closest one to my house and when I'm craving Bdubs I want it but I will never get the fried pickles again, I feel scammed. read more

Server Heaven was good, left a good tip cause she got busy really fast and was still willing to split our bill 3 ways.. food was ehh, we had nachos with tiny pieces of chicken definitely more chips then anything else, fried pickles were stuck together.. wings look like they were left under the warmer and sauce was just thrown on it not even tossed for evenness. Hh strawberry margaritas were good, couldn't taste the Tito's in my pineapple juice definitely all pineapple juice.. cheese curds and onion rings were too oily.. ambience had good music playing before the afternoon sports and crowd started.. read more

Been here twice and had a good experience both time. I came at off hours both times (mid-afternoon, mid-week) and was greeted and seated promptly. Our server was friendly and did a great job throughout the meal. Food came out pretty fast. Food is good, not stellar. Would be nice if the wings were juicier, but the flavor was good. Onion rings are really good here. It's got a sports bar vibe as you would expect. One time the music was nice and low - easy to have a conversation. The second time the music was quite a bit louder but not ridiculous. Overall a solid experience and I'd come back. I'm baffled by the bad reviews. read more

To avoid waiting for a table, I sat at the bar with no issues since it's open seating and had great service from the bartender.

Pro tip: sit at the bar top whenever feasible, and get the potato wedges over the fries! read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

We have been waiting for quite awhile for this place to open. I'm glad they finally did. My friend and I went at about 6:00 on a Thursday night. There was a football game on. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table. They do have a great deal, 2 meals for $19.99 including soft drinks. We both ordered the 6 wings for our meals. My friend ordered the lemon pepper and I ordered teriyaki. Our server was nice and friendly. Unfortunately, we waited about 45 minutes for our food to come out. When it did come out, they gave my friend boneless wings instead of the wings. Because we had waited so long for our food, she opted to just eat them. She just didn't want to wait any longer. After all that time, we both enjoyed our food. We were pretty hungry. The restaurant itself was fine except for a big party sitting next to us that were letting their kids run around, dance, and scream at the top of their lungs. Even with the football game on, those kids were so much louder. I'm all for kids entertaining themselves but these were out of control. read more

THIS MUST BE A JOKE. This is my bf and I's 3rd time giving this place a try because we genuinely do enjoy BWW, and wanted to give this place a fair chance since it's new. And with that, I can confidently say "SAVE YOUR MONEY and your TIME." The first 2 times we ordered to go, we had to 1-1.5 HOURS. I am not exaggerating. The third time we ordered to-go, we finally got our food at your typical rate of 20 or so minutes, so we were thrilled! Unfortunately, it came at a DEVASTATING cost. Please see my photos for what they had the audacity to serve us: TINY BITS OF FRIED BATTER. My partner and I have tried several BWW locations so we are very familiar with what to expect, so my jaw dropped at what we found when we got home. They really served us tiny bits of batter and counted that as part of the 5 pieces of boneless chicken. I would hope that they weigh their portions to compensate for any inconsistencies in the size of each piece. Clearly not. My bf called immediately to tell them, and thankfully, the person he talked to gave him a refund but even the worker on the phone ACKNOWLEDGED that YES. THEY ARE SMALL. WHAT. And y'all still served that to your customers??? I am so baffled by how this location has operated. read more

Overall good but needs some minor improvements. We stopped into BW 3 Mira Mesa for dinner on a college football Saturday night. Its been open for about 2 months so I think they are still working some things out. We were seated right away around 6:30. I was really surprised that it was only about half full and there were quite a few games going on. It's got a great sports restaurant vibe and everything is very clean and new. There is a huge bar and TVs everywhere you look. Our server Chris greeted us right away and got drinks going. I was surprised when I was told that they didn't have Tito's vodka when it was listed on the menu. There is a good selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The menu is varied enough for a mainly chicken wing place and everyone will find something (including kids). There is a GIANT selection of wings and sauces/rubs. The wings were great. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and I would recommend getting extra buffalo sauce on it. The patty melt took almost an hour to get served so I'm not sure exactly what happened. We ended with the chocolate cake which was rich and yummy. I'm definitely hoping it sticks around because we need sports restaurants in the PQ/MM area! read more

Buffalo Wild Wings - Lemon Pepper (Dry Seasoning) - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

The food here is always good quality for fast table service. Your chicken will always come out at a great temp, your soda and beers poured well, and customer service is great. It has a standard sports bar feel with plenty of screens everywhere. The chicken, bone in or boneless, seems to have suffered from shrinkflation though. But their dry rubs and sauces are solid and have good variety. And the appetizers? You can't go wrong with whatever you pick. Their lunch specials are a good deal during weekdays and the bartenders do take care of you very well. read more

Ordered online for pick up. Got there a few minutes after pick up time. Wasn't busy at all but food wasn't ready yet. No big deal at first. After 10 mins, asked how much longer it would be. They said packing it up, yay! 5 mins later, someone came out from the back and asked how do you want your wings sauced....waited 5 more minutes and another person came out and asked how do you want your wings sauced....took another 10 minutes before food was ready. Zero care or remorse from staff. Most kept going to the back and I saw them all laughing hanging out. Honestly, I'd take the abuse if the food was good but wings were average.

This is the first time a business has lost me as a customer before I even eat at the establishment. The night prior I call in to make a reservation for the unlimited wings and fries deal. They had told me they don't do reservations unless it was a party of 10 or more (which I had exactly 10) so they took down my name, my number, and party size and made a reservation for the next day at 7pm. The next day comes and we get there and they tell us it's an hour wait. We tell the guy at the front we have a reservation for 10 but they tell us they don't take reservations. Obviously there is some sort of mistake so I asked to speak with the manager. The guy goes to the back and instead of another person he comes back and straight up tells me "yeah we didn't put you down, do you still want to keep your name on the wait list?" So obviously we did not want to keep our name on the list as we had other plans after wings and we left because they didn't do reservations despite confirming I had one the night prior. Total joke of how to run a business... do not come here. read more

So i was reading alot of the reviews for this location. I have to say I'm rather suprised. I had a very good experience during my visit. The food was good. Place was clean.

I'd personally recommend this location especially if they maintain that level of service. read more

After wasting nearly 20 minutes talking to Steven we found out it was my drink that was overcharged. All he was going to do to make the situation better was refund the drink. I was kind and patient and gave him all the information required to find my receipt. Even a $5 giftcard or something would suffice to make up for the shitty service. Or even a free drink to come try out their service again with football season coming up. But all he offered was a refund to an at most $4 drink. I will never be returning to a single Buffalo Wild Wings again and will be celebrating when this location closes. Pissed is an understatement. Came in with a friend, took ten minutes to be seated. There was no one but us in the front. Another ten minutes to see a waiter, and fifteen minutes to get our drink. I ordered a lunch special which comes either fries and a drink. When our food came out twenty minutes later, we were not handed any napkins. Multiple servers were asked and no one brought napkins to us. I ordered ranch on the side, and also asked several servers and no one ever brought it to us. No one checked on us once When it was time to pay our waiter overcharged us by $10+. He charged me for a drink and the ranch that never came, he also charged me the full price for the burger. I went up to him and told him the error and he convinced us he'd change it. After fifteen minutes of waiting for the fixed check it was still wrong. At this point we paid a left. The worst service I've ever received in my life. I will be contacting corporate after I leave my review here. Horrible service, dirty tables and they overcharge you. It's one thing to be short staffed, it's another not to acknowledge it and let your restaurant suffer. I would've rather known they're short staffed and left instead of spending almost two hours of my life with shitty service. read more

Saw that they opened on Monday and have been waiting for this location to open. We added ourselves to the waitlist for a party of 2 and they said it would be a 50 minute wait. We came back to check if it was ready after 50 minutes and was told our table is not ready yet. We asked for the estimate time again and they could not provide that for us. We waited inside for about another 20 minutes and ended up leaving since there were no updates or estimated wait time. Inside was pretty nice, lots of TVs playing different sports games. They have a separate take out section, which is nice. Located in a big plaza, so plenty of parking. Hopefully they can fix the seating situation soon though. read more
