    Among my BF's circle of friends, BWW is an institution. So as expected, we made a special trip just for my buffalo-wing-loving honey.

    Our service experience here was 5 STARS. We were seated immediately in a crowded, lively environment and our order was taken shortly thereafter. He ordered 25 wings with the Mango Habenero, Garlic & Honey BBQ, & the Blazin' Wings (super hot). I don't eat yard bird myself, so I ordered the fish and chips and the mozzarella sticks.

    The waiter came back a few minutes later with our full order and profuse apologies about the mozzarella sticks not coming out sooner -- as a result, they wanted to comp them for us (this showed up as "food goof" on our bill. Cute). Which was very nice, considering we weren't paying attention either way. I asked for some extra lemon and sugar for my iced tea and our waiter blinked it right over, a la "I Dream of Jeannie." Then the manager came by a few moments later to just to make sure we were happy with our meal. Very attentive service, I was duly impressed. Or maybe they just thought I worked at the Spearmint Rhino or something.

    The fish and chips were average but all I really did was drag my fries over his sauces to taste them (and they were quite yummy).

    The wings. My bf was in a zone eating those things.  I knew better than to interrupt his culinary reverie, but I'm a woman, which means I'm entitled to put my man through random bouts of Spanish Inquisition-style hypothetical and circular questioning to which there are no right answers.

    Me: "So baaaaaby [stroking his arm]....what would you choose if you could only choose ONE - a plate of those wings or a blowjob?"

    BF (with sauce on mouth):  "um....[finishes swallowing a chicken chunk]...
    well, why can't I have both?"

    me: "Because you CAN'T, you're stranded on a deserted island and you can only take my blowjobs or those chicken wings with you. Which one?"

    BF: ""Would it be a finite amount of blowjobs or chicken wings, or would I have either indefinitely?"

    me: "Indefinitely."

    BF: "Well...without the wings, I wouldn't have any food, and I'd starve...."

    me: [eyebrow raised]

    BF (very quickly): "But I couldn't live without you anyway... I'd survive on coconuts and learn how to spear fish. Your blowjobs, for sure. [toothy grin] "

    me: [leans over to kiss him]

    Alas, I could see the truth in his eyes. There you have it: my BF would choose a plate of BWW over a blowjob. Wings. Wings of a dead bird. Wings of a dead bird that didn't even work as wings when the dead bird was an alive bird. If that doesn't speak about how good those things are, I don't know what does.  Either that, or I need to work on my technique.

    A-OK.

    I have actually never been much of a fan of BWW, but inevitably, I'll find myself in one at some point or another.  How come?  Well, like children from across the ages (pun intended), I can still succumb to peer pressure when grossly outnumbered.  In my personal opinion all previous BWWs have only amounted to maybe a 2-star experience.  This specific one earns a whole other star thanks to the awesome waitress, and the experience she facilitated single-handedly.

    I have yet to think the food at any BWW is more than just meh; I just expect a little more for the price.  I guess the experience justifies the mark-up for some.  Here is no different in that aspect.  I think it goes without saying that if you didn't like something, they do offer quite a selection in order to at least get it to be passable.

    Now for the awesomeness.  As per usual, I was experiencing the dilemma of which sauce to pick.  I at least make it a point to try something new along with something I know I'll like -- just in case.  Well our lovely waitress noticed my indecision and offered our table to try them all.  Disbelief and excitement must have prevented me from immediately jumping all over that idea.  She took that moment to explain that what BWW employees usually do to become familiar with all the sauces.  I finally managed the motor skills required to nod my head vigorously, and off she went.  I didn't know what to expect at this point as we haven't even ordered anything beyond our drinks; had I, we probably should have ordered a basket of plain fries for the endeavor.  What she returned with was a large tray full of small, individually labeled containers with a dollop of the appropriate sauce in each.  I'm in heaven at this point, just using my designated pinky finger to try each and every single one.  The rest of my group tries a choice few, but no, I must try them all.

    Here are my few take-aways:  Buffalo is a sauce, not a seasoning, and their attempt at this twist failed miserably, horribly, etc.  Salt & vinegar is as good on a wing as it is on a chip.  What the hell is the point of Mild?  Parmesan Garlic succeeds in getting those flavors not to overpower each other.  I would put Chipotle BBQ and especially Desert Heat on something else too [e.g. fries or ribs] if you know what's a good idea.  Where's the garlic in Spicy Garlic?  Jammin Jalapeno and Caribbean Jerk could use a little more refinement in getting that flavor right.  Thai Curry has surprisingly no false advertising in its name.  Mango Habanero sneaks up on ya.  Both Wild and Blazin are just heat without much flavor.  Everything else wasn't noteworthy; therefore neither horrible nor any good.

    This sort of thing is what I live for.  Unfortunately, what little interest BWW had from me is now satisfied, and I see even less in returning to one.  Oh yeah, we ordered food after this endeavor, and I couldn't care enough to remember what I even thought about it.  What did it for me was this one awesome waitress and her experiment.  Why I didn't hit on her is beyond me, but that's another story.  If I ever absolutely, positively had to go to another BWW, this would be the one, but I'm okay if I never do.

    Possibly the first time I Enjoyed stiffing my bartender/server.  First and foremost, most of the parking around this establishment is owned by Uhaul.   Good luck finding a spot where you wont get towed away.  I used to frequent here until they almost completely restaffed the place with unqualified degenerates.
     Myself and four others sat at the bar that obviously had not been cleaned or even wiped down from at least the last six guests.  I had to clean my eating area myself.  While wondering why our food is taking so long we decided to get beers and gamble a little.  No one should ever NOT BE COMPENSATED a $7.00 beer that is half foam while gambling. (thought that was standard) My salad was terrible (hard to fuck up a salad) rotten tomatoes with undercooked, boney, assumed chicken with a dish of seasoning on the side.(the 20+ other times i've had this salad the chicken comes seasoned, as advertised on the menu) she must have already known how bad my food was; therefore, she didnt feel the need to ask. I stayed about 20 minutes waiting on Samantha A. for my bill, when i had to throw a $5 bill in the machine and cash it out just to get her attention in an uncrowded bar. I left hungry and with mudbutt.

    I've been to this BWW so many times it may be weird that I'm giving it the two star rating. But the problem is I've been to other BWW's in the valley that are just SO much better than this one.

    Here are the pro's: The place has a ton of TVs for your sports entertainment. Pair with a few beers, some wings and you got yourself a decent time with some friends. The wings are delicious, plenty of different spices to choose from. I personally prefer the boneless wings. The bar is decent as well, and I ALWAYS sit in the bar area. So that being said I can't comment on service in the restaurant portion of the place. Also to be noted - I've usually always had the same male bartender when I've been here and his service is actually great. He gets one of my stars all to himself.

    Cons: It just isn't run as well as the other BWWs around town. Plus the place sometimes has a rank smell. I'm not sure what it is... but one time I went here and I literally walked out because there were soooo many people and it was just reeking of BO. Is it all the guys in there watching sports? I don't know... but maybe there should be a showering before entering policy or something. Oh and I've seen people in their cars getting baked out behind the place as well. Just not cool.

    Lastly, it's a good place if you're a single lady and you want to find some cutie guys. Note - especially military as it is in the North Las Vegas area close to the AFB.

    So there you have it. For some reason I'm sure I'll be back here... even though it's a pretty "meh" experience.

    Recently went for a late night dinner. Not crowded, service was still a little slow, but not terrible. The waitress was nice and polite. (Unusual nowadays)
    I've been here before on weekends and it's always crowded. Lunch time has been acceptable, quick enough to get back to work if you have an hour.
    The food was good and even as leftovers was still yummy!
    Prices are reasonable.
    My kids and I love playing the trivia games! Never a dull moment at B dubs!

    The 3 stars are for the food ONLY!
    Get it to-go or suffer through the wait lines on any sporting event day because they don't take reservations ahead of time, and the shoddy excuse for service.  Oh did I mention you REALLY shouldn't order water because it takes like dirt and smells like chemicals.

    My loyalty lies with Wingstop, well for boneless wings anyhow. But on Tuesdays BWW has a 40 cent traditional wing night. $15 wings cost me $7. Cheap! They also give you a raffle ticket for each beer you order, my friend won a certificate for 50 wings!!! I loved the Asian Zing, Hot BBQ and Medium. Thursdays is 60 cent boneless night but I think for boneless I'll stick with Wingstop. BWW atmosphere is nice to watch the game as well. The only downside is on any other night the food is overpriced for what you get.

    What can I say?... BDubs is the best wings spot ever! Great employee staff, relaxed environment, awesome happy hour, and great deals on Tuesday and Thursday! I suggest grabbing some Asian Zing and Mango Habernaro wings and cold brew. It'll make your night that much better.

    It doesnt matter which BWW you go to, the wings are amazing! I have a thing for eating chicken wings. It's sort of an addiction I have, what can i say... not only does this place have chicken wings, they have an amazing assortment of sauces to flavor them. Everything from Mango Habanero to Asian Zing. Anytime i go to Vegas, i have to stop at one of these.

    What makes this place even more fun (as if the food wasn't enough), they have a free trivia contest that you can join in on when you're there. They give you this remote thingy and you can answer the trivia that shows up on the screens. I love this place. It's my previous love from a past life.

    me and my girls are here all the time. The food specials are great and the service is good too. The wings of course are the main attraction here and they are as delicious as they seem. Tip: if you like your wings drenched in sauce, you have to let them know that! the atmosphere is very casual, and nice to have dinner with friends to watch the big game or the big fight.

    I passed this place dozens of times before going in. From the outside it looked like just another fast food chicken place, boy was I wrong. The inside is much larger than the building's outer appearance with plenty of sit down tables and a decently stocked bar. They have a tasty menu of choice eatings for you to munch on as you enjoy your company or one of the many LCD screens. It has the feel of a sports bar that just happens to focus on wings...and do they have great wings. These are quality chicken wings with a good variety of sauces. The skinny little fries and my regular lemonade were great too. Our waitress was regularly checking on us and the prices were not unreasonable. I definitely recommend this place for a casual lunch or a fun night out. This may actually be a 5 star as far as chicken places, may be due to upgrade in the future.

    Some friends said that this place has "the best wings ever" so being the conoseiur that I am, I had to try it.

    The wings tasted like.... sauce. That's all I could taste. I tried the garlic and the honey bbq, and was not impressed by either. The garlic is too hot and overpowers the flavor of the chicken. The honey bbq was a good sauce (not too sweet like a lot of places) but they just put so much on that it was dripping off the wings.

    They have a lot of beers to choose from... but its all pilsner trash. PBR and Bud and the like. It's a sports bar place, not my type of atmosphere.

    Wings are always ALWAYS good here, fires are hit or miss. Service is normally really good but we go here all the time for lunch and on on occasion during peak lunch rush it can take for ever so call ahead or build in some extra time if your in a hurry.

    I'm a chix man and when I'm craving the cluck, BWW is my place to go. Consistency is their main ingredient, service can be iffy depending on which day you go, but man their wings are the bomb. Last time we ordered to-go: 35 pieces, side of French fries, carrots & celery sticks, and ranch dipping sauce. Can't beat their prices, $0.45 wing Tuesdays or $0.70 boneless Thursdays! Flavors range from super sweet BBQ to fire-in-your-hole Blazin' HOT. I usually get the boring flavor and stick with the classic, original HOT. Perfectly cooked chix wings and coated in the right amount of sauce. Beers, chix, flatscreens, & sports!!! What's not to love?!

    I generally like BW's I'm a sucker for the mango habenero.  I like that they have kids night on Wednesday but the service seems to be lousy even for a sports bar.  The kicker is that last time we went they didn't have trivia!  Part of the reason we go is to play trivia against each other.  The drinks are yummy, but overpriced for the amount of actual booze you are getting in their mixed drinks.

    I'm from San Diego. We don't have wings this good. They have wing deals and a plethora of sauces to choose from. Come with your buddies, get different sauces and try all their wings. I really don't know what else I can say except that I love you, Buffalo Wild Wings, and I hope you can come to San Diego so I don't have to shed a solitary tear every time I drive by a mediocre wing place in San Diego.

    walter g is right, the wings basically taste like sauce. but thats what they are famous for.

    they  have about 20 or so different types of flavored wings, if you're someone that likes to try little samplettes of different stuff, you can get the 24 wings and get 4 different flavors of wings and split it with a friend.

    i tried the carribean jerk, teriyaki, garlic parmasean, and asian spice.

    if you eat 12 of their 'blazin' wings within 6 mins, you can get your picture on their wall.

    i feel like i can handle my heat pretty well, so i asked the server for a sample of the blazin sauce, and i'd have to say that it is pretty spicey, but i feel like it was kind of hyped, it was expecting it to be way more spicier, so spicy where you can't taste if it is salty or flavored, its just straight spicy.

    it was actually pretty good tasting, i would try maybe one wing just to say that i tried it, but i would suggest you do it after you try all the other flavors, b/c i tried blazin before everything else, and everything else didn't seem spicy afterwards since your tastebuds are pretty muched seasoned to the spiciest one first. the caribbean jerk was pretty spicy good, it was an enjoyable reasonable kinda of spicy. blazin made the top of my nose sweat a little. hahaha

    garlic parmasean pretty much tastes like garlic bread but in the chicken form.

    teryiaki was good b/c it was nice and sweet and made the chicken kinda caramelized. asian pretty much tasted like sweet and sour sauce but with some chili pepper.

    mango jabanero wasn't as spicy as i thought it would be, it was kinda good b/c it was nice and sweet and mangoey.

    the onion rings were pretty good, it comes with liek a chipotle mayo sauce, and the small size, the portion size was pretty good for what you pay for. i thought everything was resonably priced and tasted pretty good.

    the restaurant is pretty big, there is no wait, and its open 24 hrs. they have tons of sports playing everywhere, we stayed after our meal was over to watch the new american gladiators on the huge projection screen (only one that has sound). other screens are on mute.

    service was good, all the servers are girls in t heir 20's in football jersey type shirts. pretty quick with your requets for more water  when your mouth is on fire.

    their dessert menu is not that great, we opted not to get dessert there b /c nothing sounded very tantalizing.

    This place is no different from any other BW3s except for the fact that this place has the great waitress Lindsey Love. Forever patient, she put up with my group of drunk friends 4 times over a 2 week span even bothering to learn our names, Jackasses 1-9. She spat back wise ass remarks to the ones we were dishing out to her, gave us sound advice on where to go to see the UFC fight, and even let us have the life sized cardboard cutout of a Coors girl. Thank you Lindsey Love.

    Service stinks at this location... Went here on a weeknight and the bartender asked us what we would like to order and she forgets to put the order in...  That just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  Took 40 minutes for a hamburger... Asked for a water, no water.... Sorry!  Then when it was time for us to leave, we had to wait 15 minutes for our check...   Oh, and for some reason our check said tap water on it.... LOL!!!!
