Ok, took the kids, which are 5 & 6 years old to Buffalo Wild Wings. This is definitely one of those spots that I find myself settling for way too much...I go there about once every 6 months. It has a couple of things which bring me in...and it's kid related, or I would never go there. It has these cool tabletop ipad type game consoles, which I put $5 in and the kids can play video games while we wait for the "food" to arrive, and I can watch tons of TV's. Except that every 3rd tv has trivia/poker/buzztime stuff on it...The service, and the staff are always nice, and cordial. But that is about it for the positive.
Food is well below average. This place has "Wings" in the name, but the wings are definitely the smallest of any sports bar anywhere. They have quite a few recipes for sauces, and the buffalo dry is the only one I enjoy, but because of the size of the wing, and the fact that every item is in a cardboard basket.. it is super-cheap feeling. Everything is fried, and small sized, especially the Ribs..very bad ribs..
Beer selection, and bar atmosphere is, again standard and boring. It touts a "craft & specialty" beer section, but hasn't got a single beer that isn't mass produced from a conglomerate brewery.. No microbrews or "crafts" on the list..not one.
I keep going back, for the kids... but I am consistantly reminded that some successful chains are just that..consistant.. even if it's consistanly poor.
