Buffalo Wild Wings - Coeur d'Alene

I stop here for lunch and invite you to the Tesla Supercharger on the way between Seattle and Montana to visit my father. Always quick service at the bar and the food is great.

A little different experience seeing a Buffalo wild wings slow even then, food took a long time and my wife 's food was not the best last night... they did take her meal off the receipt which was good! Waiter was over ran as there was 4 tables and couldn 't handle it... oh well maybe next time

There was a game on. I had a bird dog- which is a new item, ckicken tender on a brioche hot dog bread- I can’t remember which one I chose but I also had fries which were equally as appetizing! There are three different sauce- flavor combinations to choose from. I should have ordered the duo, which comes with two so I’ll give you four and a half peace!

Now I had a craving for some cheese curds and I'm nearly always in the mood for wings. I don't go here often, and when I do I remember why not. It's not horrible, but for me my buck needs to stretch, and when I do splurge, I'd like it to feel worth it. First off, I apparently arrived at rush hour as there was a 20 min wait. I sat at the first available bar seat when it opened up. During my stay I also noted how often new arrivals had to wait for the host to return from the back to be greeted. It took a while for the bartender to acknowledge my arrival and order my 1st beer. They have a decent enough selection but more towards the pale and IPAs like most places. I'm happy if I can get a Mack Jack amber. Do note in the pix, for the price hike, it's hardly worth getting the tall (I poured the pint in the tall glass for comparison out of curiosity). The food quality and taste lives up to expectations although fanning it out single layer on a cookie sheet cools it rather quickly and you end up with more than rubbery curds and cold chicken. If you are not sure on your sauce selection, ask for a sample so you aren't dissappointed or overly brave in your heat level choice. Note that it IS a sports bar so it's loud and a large monitor is at every turn. There are obviously regulars that frequent and the service definitely caters to those first. Oddly enough I feel compelled to mention the restroom. I LOVE how tightly spaced the door is and how low the purse hook is mounted. Gave me a sense of security and privacy as well as adequate space to maneuver even though the door swings inward. The odd thing was the contoured mat around the toilet. My only thought was how gross and when/how do they clean them. I LOVE their food when I crave salty/greasy but for the overall experience, it just isn't worth the price on a regular basis.

My group of 7, had already ordered when I got there. Server came right over, and was very pleasant. Everyone was not served all at once. Then I had to wait for about 30-40 minutes for my naked chicken, grilled. By that time, I asked for them to be a to go order. The server said it was because other people's orders were being put in front of mine; having fried wings. They did bring an order of fried boneless chicken, but it wasn't what I had ordered.
