If you dont have to work for it or wait for it, its usually not worth it. A long time ago when BWW was a distant dream requiring travel, commitment and dedication to partake in excellent wings, a real rival to the international giant Hooters. Slowly, but surely they expended and reached more manageable locals. Well that was the past and times have changed. The consistency between stores is not there. Huge swings in service, quality of food and flavor. I know its just wings, but those that love wings will let you know and wont hide their thoughts. Mango Habanero is nice, a spicy sweet ness then the heat albeit subdued. Asian zing is a classic Asian flavor made for the masses, thai curry is a great mix with Asian zing, the curry is very garlicy. Salt and Vinegar is a clean crisp profile, but my gripe here is no lemon pepper. Dont go boneless, then your just saucing a nugget. French fires are decent since they come with S&V dusting. The flatbreads are all very disappointing, no ingenuity, no creativity. Bland. Onion Rings are nice, crisp, consistent, southwestern ranch has a nice surprise overtone to it, mix with mustard and BBQ and your kicking ass. Roasted garlic mushrooms really should be battered and fried the way the onion rings are. Mini Corndogs are quite good, but corndogs in general are. The salads and burgers are really generic, slapped together. Black and bleu is a play on bleu cheese, but real black and blue is a steak term, so dont get excited about that. Salads are using somewhat fresh ingredients, but the dressings like all their sauces are excellent. Dont bring the kids here during popular sporting events. They say its friendly because they have booster seats and a kids menu, but people drop f bombs, s bombs all day here. Its a sports bar with a decent menu. Come here for the wings, the beer and the atmosphere, but not the food. Its as generic as BWWs come and with a dozen in the county now Id go to almost any other one than this.

I was debating between 2 and 3 stars. Im going to go with 2.5 stars. The biggest pro is obviously the great sports bar atmosphere. I went to watch a NFL game and almost every single game was showing maybe except 1 or 2 great place to keep up with your fantasy football or pickem leagues. There is usually a featured game displayed on the big screen projector. I was very pleased that you can request a table any game that you want as long as you get there early enough. Great place a lot of people came in groups supporting their teams (mostly non-local teams). This is my favorite place to watch the game since there is no more Fox Sports Grill at the spectrum. Now the food was less impressive... The hot wings were tasty, but around Dennys or Ihop quality. You may ask those places dont server good wings. Well I felt like BWW did not serve the quality I expected from a place that has Wings in its name. I recommend WING STOP instead for wings. BWW was "meh". My friend ordered the ribs which did not compare to Dhilis or Applebees ribs. The ribs were tender, probably boiled, but very tasteless even with the sauce added. The food let me down. Next time, I will just drink beer and eat french fries and hit up Wing Stop down the street afterward. I may give this place another try, but for now... 2 Stars. Go to watch the game, but dont stay for the food.

Read and heard so many great things about this place. I had to try it. I had the mild buffalo wings which were actually mild! I couldve gone for the medium. The boneless wings were like nuggets but I loved the lemon-pepper seasoning! Only thing that I was bummed about was that they gave me Caesar dressing instead of blue-cheese. LOL!!! Took me a second to figure out what was wrong. Ill definitely come back. The prices are amazing and maybe Ill give them another star.

Service was horrible! The hostess could not seem to get people to their respective tables. When I mentioned to her that I would like to be seated she replied that the bar was open seating. .....the problem was, I didnt want to sit at the bar. I finally caught a servers attention who seated me. The hostess glared at me the rest of my time in the establishment. How childish. Wish I would have not even spent my hard earned money at BWW.

Its unfortunate that the other reviewers had such a bad experience, because when I went there last night with 2 friends and my girlfriend for the Tuesday wing special it BLEW MY MIND. The waitress was probably my favorite waitress of all time, super cheery and hospitable and went beyond the call of duty, the wings were great (all 60 of them), and the meal was inexpensive! Ill definitely be back.

They support our Lake Forest Little League and it cant be easy to serve a full team and parents. I appreciate the different selections of wings and of course their interactive games so the players dont have the need to continue to ask parents for quarters for the video games. Decent selection of beers but wish they expanded it to more choices. See you soon!

This was the first time going into Buffalo Wild Wings. Fun enviroment and great food. However, the service sucked. The restaurant was not busy at all but it took forever to have someone seat us and to place orders. Fun place to go to if the service was better. Multiple other places to go to with same style menu but much better service.

Love the wings here. Get them the spiciest possible and you will not miss that Hooters is no longer in Lake Forest. The waitresses are great, the tvs are everywhere, and we had a great time. It is a bit expensive. Hopefully they read this and lower the prices so we can go more often. But, other than that 5 stars!

Good beer prices for happy hour. Otherwise not the best. If you reserve a seat for an event, make sure to be here early. They will give ur seat away and forget that you reserved it. Food is hit and miss. And if you complain they really dont care.

The service is almost always slow, regardless of how busy the restaurant is. It is a good place to go for sports, but I am not a big fan of their food. This is basically my spot for catching my team if they play on Thursday Night Football.

Where do I even begin on this crappy excuse for a wings place, the prices? The quality? The service? Or I can just save you a long paragraph and tell you that all of the above is complete garbage, I hope this place goes out of business.

Good service at the bar. The wings taste about like they do at every BWW. The bartender was friendly and remembered my friend, his favorite wings, and his drink (who is a regular). Definitely a community feel to this chain. :)

Great for a chain. Service can be lacking at times but they do a good job overall. Wings are good; not great, but good. If you need a place to watch the game and drink a beer this place will work just fine.

Fast break lunch to 15 min to order another 30 to get food and 15 min for them to pick up my cc aftee getting the check so I could pay and leave. Horrible service for a place that advertises a fast lunch
