I can support this. One thing they aren't known for is being stringent when it comes to franchises upholding certain standards.
The beer selection thing though is somewhat of a nitpick. You can't expect a chain to carry a bunch of niche beers that don't sell a lot. If I go into a BBW or Chilis or Red Robin I'm happy if they have maybe a couple of decent IPAs. You can't hold it against them if they don't carry Badger River Valley Screaming Raccoon Seasonal Special Day-Glo Hopapolooza Limited Reserve on tap.

Used to be a fan, but now I avoid it. It's just become too loud and crowded, food is slightly above average, and now with poor service now that they have Kiosks at the table so the servers don't have to come around as much. Love the Caribbean Jerk sauce, so I go in there for some wings with that once year or just to grab a bottle of that, but mostly I stay away from this place.

The problem with the restaurants that aren't chain is that you find a great one and then they close up suddenly and you will never get that food again. Better to just cook your own.

Before they were a chain, Quaker Steak wings were great. Once they expanded beyond that first little hole-in-the-wall location, they went downhill in a hurry.

Elitist, I dunno. Not seeing anything other than legit criticism here.
I have only one complaint about BWW and it's a personal pet peeve of mine: If you have a food item in your name, that item should be excellent. Their wings are, in grading on sports bar and 'wings-in-the-name' curve, suck. They are NOT decent. They are bad. They are scrawny. They are fine, absolutely, for 25 cent wing night. Their fantastic selection of sauces do not make the actual wing any higher quality. As a restaurant guy, I'd love to know their cost of goods on those wings, I have a feeling they are killing it.
I'm seeing, 'their wings are decent'. Compared to what? Most sports bars have pretty serious wings these days, there are a LOT of places that pride themselves on their wings. I just wanna know, if BWW is decent, what's bad look like?
In general tho, BWW is absolutely fine for what it is.

Another option is to order their wings plain them make your own sauce. I do it once in awhile

I should mention I live in Minnesota, where they are headquartered so maybe they take a little more care in the wings or something, but every BWW I've been to in town has had pretty huge wings.

That's amazing. I'm surprised they don't make franchisees order all the same wings. ??

March Madness? Football Sunday? Doesn't really happen any more now that I'm old, but every once in a while when I was younger, sure.

I remember QB1 at BW3 in mid 90's - we'd show up at 11AM and leave after the Sunday night game. There was one right across the street from Ga. Tech campus. $2 23oz Miller lites - we'd drink a dozen or so. $200 bar tab for 4 of us happened on occasion.

Sauces are good, wings are meh, everything is overpriced, service is spotty. About what I expect from a chain sports bar. Definitely prefer Wings, Etc. as far as chain places go, but in my experience most local dive bars have wings that are much better than any chain place.
And of course grilled or smoked wings at home are vastly better than anything fried that you get in any bar.

They don't sell wings. They sell an experience to the lower middle and working classes.

Second all of this, especially the service. Most local sports bars have bigger and better wings.
For those curious about what bad wings are, eat some at Hooters. They're awful.

I like BW3 well enough. In a lot of small-medium sized cities (like mine), they are usually one of the few options for a legitimate sports bar. Around here, there are bars, but as far as bars that have the Sunday Ticket and order all the big fights, it's basically BW3 and one other place.
Food's fine. Not great, but it'll work. Hell, you gotta eat something while avoiding the wife and watching football.

No, I agree, maybe just didn't articulate it right. Maybe the youngins on this board don't remember, but even 5 to 10 years ago depending on the region of the country it was hard to find good beer selection at most places. That was one of the things that made BWW's great, but now, even the local Stop and Rob has got local beers in stock. So they've lost that point in their favor because everybody else is doing it too, although i give them credit because ive been in different ones in different cities and they do try to stay true to local brews.

It's not that bad. I can handle the second hottest (wild, i think), but I find the Blazin just doesn't taste very good.

I still don't get the eating #### that sets your mouth on fire thing. Do you really taste anything after a certain point, or is this just a proving manhood thing?
Purely ego. Cultures that have hot cuisine don't overdo it but here in the states it's all about being extreme and the hottest food possible purely to prove you can take it. It's not food at that point.
P.S. BWW sucks hard. On the same level as Applebees just with more diarrhea.

I don't think the 'wild' are any spicier than when I go to Indian restaurants with my Indian friends. That #### is fiery, but obviously tastes 100x better than BWW.

I'm assuming you know this but everyone handles the heat a little bit differently based on their tastebuds. Some people are super tasters, some are not. I'm kind of in the middle - I can eat your ordinary spicy stuff but stay away from the hottest stuff and it's painful going in and out.

Exactly. Just like the awful donuts at Dunkin.massraider said:

Not in Maplewood (you probably don't slum it over here much). Go to BWW in Maplewood for lunch, and then to D Spot in Oakdale and see how they compare. There is no comparison.Frostillicus said:
