Buffalo Wings & Rings (Coconut Creek, Miami Beach)
Buffalo Wings & Rings, 4443 Lyons Road, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 (954) 978-9688.
Buffalo Wings & Rings is a “sports bar”…playing the wings & curly french fries card. I recently did dinner at the Buffalo Wings in Coconut Creek which has both indoor and patio seating. From what I understand, another location is under construction at 1501 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Just so you know, Buffalo Wings is a chain operation…according to its website it has 50 locations in 13 states. You can check locations/menu/photos at www.buffalowingsfl.com.
Buffalo has a nice menu…plenty of appetizers, soups, salads, wings, sandwiches, burgers…I did boneless wings and curly fries. The wings were lightly breaded and there was something like 45 different sauce combinations. I mixed it up and did garlic parmesan, sweet & sour, teriyaki—the wings were fair…sauces were bland, same-fair goes for the curly fries. I also did a bacon cheeseburger and a pulled pork sandwich—also–just fair.
Let me be blunt…for a joint that supposedly specializes in WINGS…Buffalo didn’t get the job done.
Like I said before, this is a “sports bar”…booths, real casual, full bar, tv sets galore. You know the drill.
The joint is open, Monday-Saturday 11am-2am and Sunday 11am-midnight.
Not a bad sports bar. Located in new center on Lyons which isnt too hot. Nice outdoor seating area. Good food. Every so often they have a band.
great wings.
jeff, sorry to say, wings were flavorless, service stunk. compared with the new hurricane wings in boca this buffalo joint is a loser.
When they announced their opening, i have to admit I was excited. Being from Buffalo, a wings restaurant and sports bar down the street was going to be great. Their grand opening weekend, we ate there. (1st time) The wings were served cold with sauce barely covering them. They were not shaken, they were not even a good size and they were over cooked. The service was horrible. This was to be expected on a grand opening. I was forgiving, I voiced my concern to the management and they appreciated the feed back. I left wary but willing to try it again. About 2 months later, we went back again (2nd time). I made a joke to the hostess about our last visit, she laughed and said they had worked out all the kinks, and she was going to sit us with their best waiter. Clearly the joke was on us. We ordered 2 beers and 2 waters. The beers came, no water. I asked about 5 more times and still never got any water. We tried the wings again. and EXACTLY THE SAME thing happened. Cold over cooked and not sauced properly. We wanted more beer, never saw “the best waiter” aside from initial drink orders and for the check to be dropped…I had no intention of ever coming back, I should have listened to my gut. Fast foward to last night, Went to Saito’s (sushi bar next door) for my birthday with the wife and a few friends (the place is AMAZING) figured we would stop in for a few beers at Buffalo Wings after. How can you screw up beer? Walked in with 10 people. Sat at the bar and ordered a few buckets with shots. There was an fight on last night, that required the bar to have a sign posted that each person needed to have a $15 minimum check. We were there for about 20 minutes and had already ordered about $90 in buckets shots and wine. The bar manager came up to us about 5 different times within our brief stay there to insist we needed to sit down so he can keep track of our tab. He clearly was not even keeping up with his own bar to see how much we had spent already. After badgering us, and than stating he was going to adjust our check to put more money on it based that we were not spending enough he began to threaten us. At this point, he decided to bring in the police to escort us out. Keep in mind that we are all 30 something young professionals…. I realized that not only does this bar have horrible food, but unprofessional management, we left, went to a bar down the road, and had a much better night …..I beg anyone reading this to beware of the food, service and especially the management at this place…Dine somewhere else…
Went to the restaurant and had the following complaints. Got soup. Wasn’t good. Sent back without eating. Was charged anyway. Ordered pulled pork sandwich which should have been bar b qued but the sauce on the sandwich would measure less than 1/2 teaspoon. Was supposed to come with a pickle slice which wasn’t there. Fries were cold. Said drink refills were free. Was never offered one, not even on water. Way too many things wrong in one experience. I would not go back.
jeff, you are right. for a wings joint they sure fail misersably. my order came out with wrong wings, when i finally got them they were tasteless. service also stinks.
the food stinks.
don’t waste your money.
hurricane is a much better cahin operation.
if you want good wings, go to wings plus
