Wings, anyone?

It's Friday night, you're hungry for your pre-game snacks, and you and your group of friends need a place to watch the big game. Where do you go? Buffalo Wild Wings is definitely the place to be. 

As we all know, when your favorite team is playing, the least of your worries is preparing the meal for the night or even worse, deciding where to have the viewing party get together.  What a nightmare.  With various game day meals, Buffalo Wild Wings, also commonly known as, "BDubs", is the perfect spot to hold your get together. 

With many nearby locations, Buffalo Wild Wings makes it convenient for everyone to meet up just in time for the big game.     

Let's get down to business.  Buffalo Wild Wings offers a relaxed menu that's sure to satisfy everyone in your viewing party.  From a wide range of burgers to wraps, there's something for everyone.  Even venturing away from meat-based meals, the restaurant offers vegetarian options for those more than less excited about the options containing meat.  

As we all know, Buffalo Wild Wings is known for their original wing recipes.  With sixteen signature sauces and five seasonings, a variety ranging from sweet to extremely spicy, there's no way to go wrong.  This is where things get interesting.


Continuing to hear all the positive buzz in regards to BDubs, I gathered up a group of my friends and was on a mission to see what the restaurant had to offer.  

With the closest restaurant being in Shorewood, it was easy and convenient for all of my friends to meet up.  This specific location can be found off of Brook Forest Avenue, also commonly known as, "Route 59", in an obvious spot in front of Target, making it almost impossible to get lost.  

As we gathered inside the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the hostess.  With a variety of seating choices, ranging from high tops or the bar, seating is available to accompany all types of different parties. My group, choosing the high top table, were ready to finally see what Buffalo Wild Wings had to offer.

Out of my party of four that accompanied me on my adventure, three of us were set on experiencing the variety of wings that Buffalo Wild Wings has on the menu while the other was more in a hamburger kind of mood.  Although I wasn't quite ready to try the intimidating mango habanero, the asian zing sauce was calling my name.  Along with the options to choose sauce and seasonings, Buffalo Wild Wings also allows you to choose the amount, depending on hunger level, and whether you want bone-in or boneless wings.

Along with my four asian zing wings, four more honey bbq were ordered to widen out the tasting spectrum.  Both definitely had a very different distinct taste, but were equally delicious in amount provided and sauce on the wings.  My tasting counterparts were willing to take some more drastic chances when it came to the decision making process.  With jammin' jalapeƱo and hot bbq among their selections, the boys were more than ecstatic to see what the wings were all about.  Tasting both sauces, one could easily agree that they stray away from the traditional concept of wing dressings but offer cravings that are sure to excite your taste buds. 

Highly satisfied with our wings, one of my companions was feeling courageous and felt he was capable to take on a blazin' wing. For those of you that don't know, the blazin' wing is the hottest sauce that Buffalo Wild Wings offers.  I would continue to describe it, but luckily, the challenge was caught on film.

WARNING: Do not underestimate the power of the blazin' wing.   



Taking about 10 minutes for my friend's mouth to cool, I immediately counted myself out in partaking in the blazin' wing challenge.   

As we all agreed on the quality of the food, we were also impressed with the numerous televisions that Buffalo Wild Wings had displayed throughout the restaurant.  With at least 16 different televisions around, there's no way to miss any of the latest sports news or games.  This accessibility is certainly a plus for my sports loving readers.  

Our overall experience to Buffalo Wild Wings deserves two thumbs up.  With quick and tentative service, we were able to enjoy our freshly cooked meals without a ridiculous wait time while paying a reasonable price.
