Buffalo Wild Wings, a popular dining restaurant and sports bar franchise, originated from Columbus, OH in 1982.
Buffalo Wild Wings offers Buffalo-style chicken wings served with a variety of different signature sauces, along with burgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, and appetizers. As of March 2025, there are over 1,300 locations across all 50 U.S. states.
After going to many locations and trying various flavors, I’d say my favorites are Mild Buffalo, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and Mango Habanero.
Mild buffalo provides a mild, tangy, Buffalo flavor with minimum heat and a bunch of flavor. Lemon Pepper Dry Rub provides a crispy, savory flavor, giving a pepper flavor with a hint of lemon. And lastly, Mango Habanero provides a sweet but spicy flavor, perfect for people who prefer more heat and people who prefer more sweetness.
If you like spicier wings I suggest Nashville hot, or Blazin’ Knockout.
For a sweeter taste I suggest Honey garlic, or Honey BBQ.
The most popular flavors are Parmesan Garlic and Mango Habanero.
The Blazing Knockout is a spicy wing featuring a “slow burn” heat profile with smokey and sweet notes blended with a combination of nine peppers including Devils Breath, Carolina Reaper, and Ghost pepper, making it the spiciest wing at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Nashville Hot is a spicy wing served with a wet hot sauce. The sauce combines the spice of cayenne pepper with the richness of butter, garlic, and vinegar. The additional brown sugar gives it a sweetness that balances out the heat.
Honey Garlic is a sweet, salty, garlicky wing with a thick and sticky sauce. The wing provides no heat and has a sweetness from the honey, alongside a Garlic flavor.
Honey BBQ is a sweet and savory wing, containing a basic BBQ flavor with a honey sweetness to it.
Aside from the great wings Buffalo Wild Wings has to offer, they also have a great atmosphere, with wall-to-wall televisions broadcasting sports. They also have great and friendly service that will make sure your food is out quickly. If you’re ever wanting to host a gathering, catch a big game, or eat quality wings, Buffalo Wild Wings remains a go-to place.
