Buffalo Wild Wings
How do they stay in business? Is it all those wide screen TVs? I love Buffalo wings and every time I've gone, I've hoped they would be good there too. It is so mediocre. No mas.

The neighbors kids love the place. Mom and dad suck down a few beers and watch a game while the kids keep ordering and ordering.
They asked us to join them once, it wasn't anything worth going out of the way for, but it was totally packed. Apparently, many people like them.
And since you have been multiple times, they know people will keep coming back even if they aren't crazy about them.

They USED to be better. Their quality has gone down a lot over the years and their prices have gone up. They used to have pretty good lunch specials, happy hours, and sporting event specials (Cheap beer). They do bar trivia, etc... it's more of a social spot. Without question though, there are better places for wings.

And I thought maybe it was only our location that was bad 
Service is terrible. Managers are incompetent. Wings are edible, but do yourself a favor and don't order ANYTHING ELSE on the menu. This place is a joke.

The BW3's here used to offer fifty-cent drumsticks. I'm talking about drumsticks found on regular chicken. 3-4 was a hearty meal. Best deal they ever had.

Back in high school the BW3 by my house had $0.25 wing night once a week and a group of my friends and I would go every week, spend about $20 total on a bunch of wings and pop and play their TV trivia game for hours.
Looking back on it, the price of the wings generates more of a "how did they manage to stay in business?" reaction than does the quality of the food. I guess that's why it's now $0.50 wing night

My local watering hole, the Beer Bistro in Chicago, has $.25 wings on Sunday. The wings get them in. I think it's the beer that keeps them in business.
