Buffalo Wings & Rings

Having a different option for wings in the area other than Buffalo Wild Wings is great. We love it here. I have never heard of the place until we moved out to Minot. There is always an open seat at the bar for us when we come. The wings seem larger here than at Bdubs and the sauce has much more flavor. There aren’t as many flavor choices, but it just makes it easier to choose one. I would like to see some happy hour beer prices in the future — haven’t noticed a happy hour price both times we have been in.

I loved my first experience here with my boyfriend I tried their aioli fries (amazing!) I had they’re habenero peach wings and lemon pepper wings both mild and they were amazing!!! sadly I live in California and have yet to find this place but it was amazing being in North Dakota and eating here

I love the remodel & I still prefer the salads. This is a classier alternative to the other wing place in Minot.

The food was good but our service was terrible. We asked for straws with our drinks and we got them them 15 minutes later with our food. When she dropped off the checks she didn’t give us any pens so we had to wait until 10 minutes to flag down someone for a pen. If you are a Bloody Mary or Caesar person they make their drinks with buffalo sauce instead of Tabasco, which I didn’t like but other people might prefer that!

Solid «meh.» Good service and nice room — tons of TVs, great for watching sports — but wings are pretty average. Fried pickles are so salty you can barely eat them. All the food has a who-​cares kind of feel about it.

Everyone we know kept telling us to try this place. So we finally did and we weren’t impressed at all. The nachos were boring and half assed. I love fried pickles, but their fried pickles were waaay too salty. Maybe copy bdubs and serve a chipotle ranch too. Lastly, our burgers were also boring and nothing special. We both took one bite of our burgers. I tossed mine when I got home. The waitress was also pretty boring and seemed like she was annoyed. Overall, there was no wow factor about this place at all. We might go back to try the wings. Maybe. But probably not.

Really guys. We come to use what we thought was an awesome coupon you guys gave my place of employment to distribute. And… You won’t honor it on the weekend and it doesn’t even count toward wings?! It’s in your name! Oh yeah, thanks for mentioning the exception about the weekends on the coupon. Well played sneaky business, another reason why I won’t come back even though I made a third trip to «try again». Also, check your spelling, you spelled the co pant name wrong on all of them.
And the wings… Wow. I love slivers of meat.

First time eating at a buffalo wings and rings. Overall fairly impressed. I am a big fan of bww so i was hesitant but happy with my experience. The boneless wings are much better but their sauce selection is a little confusing and dissapointing when compared to bww. Also, the beer selection screamed domestic and sam adams winter was the only seasonal beer they had. Also, they were lacking in large screen tvs for sports when compared to bww. The service wasn’t outstanding but wasnt terrible, I would put it on par for a place like this. All that being said, the food was more than good enough to deserve a return visit to try some other food items and to modifying my review in turn.

If you are trying to decide between Buffalo Wings and Rings and Buffalo Wild Wings, Go with Buffalo Wings and Rings. The wings are better and staff is friendlier.

The worst service I have ever had. I have been waiting for two hours and haven’t gotten anything but water.

In town from Texas and decided to try this place. Went in today, around 630, and found a short line so we decided to eat in the bar area. Service was fast and friendly. Had onion rings to start with and then grilled chicken tenders. Also a Sam Adams to go with it. Overall, found the food to be much better than Buffalo Wild Wings. Go try it.

Sat at the bar where they were diligent in assuring that we were 21.
The drinks were refilled promptly and the food was good. My lemon pepper boneless wings weren’t what I expected but they were good regardless. They had a bit of a buffalo sauce on them instead of the dry rubs you may expect.
TVs were kept on sport stations through the entire 2+ hour visit. I don’t know if its because I’m from another state or what but I was a bit alarmed to not find seat covers installed in the ladies room. Automatic motion trash cans but no covers.

Reasonably good wings but nothing special. We had the Saturday game day deal with 20 wings and two small sides for ~$ 27 with tax and a reasonable tip.
Wings were a bit vinegary, like a cheap bottled wing sauce. Spice levels were relatively lower than other places I’ve eaten but not extremely so. Side options were limited to things like fries, cole slaw ect without an up charge. A little loud but I guess that shouldn’t have been a surprise.
On the upside the two of us were full and it wasn’t terrible expensive.
Overall it was ok but I wouldn’t go back at the price I paid.

This is a new place for me. I shall start off with the food. I opted for the chicken gyro which was pretty good but I tried the Saratoga chips which were way too hard and nearly burnt. The gyro was ok, I mean, I’ve had better. And I just don’t understand the whole Kraft Mac n Cheese meals for kids. It costed over $ 5.00 and came with a side. But really? The service was ok, our server was really friendly but didnt help too much with their extra long menu. I mean a menu that looks like a book, man that just makes things confusing. So, I doubt I would be back. Maybe to give it another chance but we will see

This is the only other Buffalo Wings and Rings I have been to outside of Del Rio, Texas and it was awesome!
Their specialty is definitely in their boneless wings; normally I am a traditional bone-​in prefering gal, but you get a lot more meat if you go with the boneless.
The meat was moist and cooked perfectly!
I also ordered the fried pickles appetizer… the flavor was amazing! Not sure what type of pepper they used but it was a perfect balance with the salty and tartness of the pickles.
We held a professional/​technical meeting there in the back room and I was very impressed. The presentation was able to plug in to one of the three large flat screens and made it very easy for a 30+ group of people to be able to see and enjoy as they eat.
At first when the waitress said that there was only one bartender tonight, I thought we would have issues… but eventually everyone got their beer and were content!
Will definitely be visiting again in the future!

A little gem in Minot for sports bar fans.
I recently watched UFC 153 with four friends and we all had great service and food. The prices were exactly what i expected for the type of establishment it is. I ordered the hot (sweet… I think) BBQ wings and a hummus platter. Both items came of quickly were delicious.
One of the best aspects of Buffalo Wings and Rings is that the crowd is a little older than other sports bar and the place is not overflowing with kids. The noise level of the bar is perfect to have a conversation friends and watch the fights.
My one criticism is that TV’s should all be on the same channel for major events. However, that is not a big deal as the larger TV’s have the UFC fights on them.
We will be back for the next UFC event.

Staff is super friendly and eager to please.
I asked for Traditional Bone In Wings Grilled, as that is an option on the menu only to have the server tell us that ALL the wings are PRE COOKED at the beginning of each day and then REHEATED when served so I couldn’t order them grilled. What a shame! And also… gross! Grilled wings would have been AMAZING!
I still ordered wings even after finding out they are PRE COOKED. I got 10 wings, half Rajun’ Cajun and half Buffalo. I have to say the Rajun Cajun sauce is AWESOME! The Buffalo Sauce is your standard Buffalo Sauce, nothing special. However, despite the awesomeness of the sauce, these were the SMALLEST Wings I’ve ever seen! Add that to the fact they are PRE COOKED and… well…I won’t be back. What a shame! The sauce was so good!
The Husband and my son ordered the Boneless BBQ Wings and said they were good. They appeared to be a fair size.
We also ordered appetizers. Potato Skins, which were good but like the wings, really small. The Spinach Dip was cold. So cold in fact the cheese on top was already hardened into a sheet of cheese atop the dip. It was served with some strange BBQ Pita Chips. What a strange combination! However, the server promptly offered plain pita chips or tortilla chips.
Unfortunately, we won’t be back. Small, pre cooked wings? Even the sauce can’t make up for that.
I posted pics, check them out!

Food is absolutely amazing! I could eat here every day if my time permitted it :)
Service fantastic! Never waited for a refill on my soda and like most parents I always need extra napkins and its awesome having them right there on the table :)
Atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. TVs showing all the sports is great!
I most definitely tell my friends and family to come here, when I made the choice to come here I decided I wouldn’t ever be going to Buffalo Wild Wings again… and haven’t ITS SO MUCH BETTER HERE!!!

Horrible service! And you have to ask for the drummy part of the wing or all you will get is the flap part with no meat on it. Buffalo wild wings is so much better.

Food — 4 stars
Service — 3 stars
Background — I am from Buffalo and have been eating wings most of my life.
Atmosphere — Great number of TV’s with different sports games. I actual got to see the Sioux hockey team play the Russian Red Stars. I have to dock them for the bright stadium style lights hanging above the TVs. It made watching some of the TVs difficult.
Food
Appetizer — I would say the wings or the rings I had are apps but I had them as my meal.
Main Course — 10 wings for $ 8.49 which I think is on the high side. The menu is setup like a check list moving left to right, picking one item from each column. I had the standard wings with Xtra Hot sauce. The variety of wing sauce flavors was good and a wide range of heat levels. I selected the Xtra Hot Sauce, for me the sauce was average or medium too hot for tradition Buffalo wings at other places. The biggest problem I had was the amount of sauce; they serve them in a flat bowl. I had least a half inch of sauce on the bottom of the bowl when I was done. They must toss the wings right in that bowl. To me they should be tossed in a big bowl and then placed on a plate using tongs. The wings were drowning in the sauce but with some crazy bad luck some of the wings were not coated completely. I also ordered the onion rings which had about 8 large rings, with a wider cut than must rings, and the breading was good. I could order those again.
Dessert — none need.
Service — Wow this really needs some improvement here. The hostess asks if we want to sit at the bar, we are like sure, there is room. There was no room in the bar area. So we have to work our way back to the hostess station. We told her two and she walks away with two menus without notifying us what she is doing. So we walked up to her as she asked if the table on the side of the half wall was good, it seats six. Why have three tables each designed for two people all pushed together for six people? Our table was not the only one set up like this. So we took it like we had much of a choice in the matter as that was the only I could see. We waited for about 10 minutes before a waitress finally walked by and she stated I did not see you there. How to do you miss two grown men sitting at the end of table? As she continued to walk by she indicated she would be right back. Less than a minute a young man took our drink order, and realized that we were ready to place our food order. He repeated a lot of what we said and even had to come back, but I am fine with repeating this stuff as long as they get it right. After we got our food, he did not show back up until I was on wing number 8, really by then does it matter how the food tasted. If I had a problem I would have been livid taking that much time to get back to me. The manager talked to his employees many times in front of our table and not a single word to us about service and food quality or just general friendliness. I admit seeing a manager helping his staff by busing a table was good.
Future — Maybe.
