Buffalo Wild Wings – Waterford Lakes

Buffalo Wild Wings has a large variety of flavors of wings, and has an excellent beer selection, as well as a full bar. Aside from that, there isn’t much else positive to say about the place. Most of the appetizers are sub par, either being very bland, overly salty, or just generally bad. In particular, the nachos should be avoided at all costs. The chips are flavorless and stale, and the salsa is worse than most salsas you can purchase in a store. The wings are rather expensive, starting at around $8 for 12 wings.

The atmosphere at this particular location is often so loud you cannot hear the people at your table talk. It is often overcrowded, to the point where you usually bump into people at nearby tables if you move around at all. The service is some of the worst I have had anywhere on several occasions, and the only reason I continue going is generally because it is a convenient location and something most people can agree upon. If you are looking for a nice place to sit down and have a meal, avoid this location at all costs.

Gift Card Bonus Promotions

Many eateries have promotions offering free stuff with the purchase of a gift card around the holidays. I generally don’t recommend gift cards since some come with restrictions and fees, and it binds the person to that specific place for purchases, compared to cash. If you are planning on getting a gift card anyway, or if you want to get a little bonus for yourself, I rounded up a bunch of the deals. Not all deals displayed an expiration date, and there are often stipulations on when and on what you can use bonus cards, so please review the fine print before purchasing. Also, many sites are poorly done in Flash, so I was not always able to link you directly to the deals, but did so wherever possible.

This list will continue to grow, so check back often.

Hurricane Grill & Wings

There are numerous wing places in Orlando, and Hurricane Grill and Wings is yet another one. Hurricane Grill and Wings does little to separate itself from the competition. It has an average beer selection, having about 10 beers on tap, and about 16 bottled options. The bottled beers are often just duplicates of those on tap, and the most “craft” beer is Blue Moon. There are 30 flavors of wings to choose from, with something for just about every taste. I chose the Cajun wings, which are a dry rub. The wings are good size, large in comparison to many other places in town, and they come with a side order of fries or homemade kettle cooked chips. The kettle chips didn’t even taste like they were salted, so came across as being very bland.

Since you get a side, and the wings are large, you can get away with ordering fewer wings than you would at other places, and still be satisfied. I would prefer to skip the side and pay less though. When I eat wings, I don’t want to waste any belly room on anything else. All in all, Hurricane Grill and Wings is good, but isn’t great. If I had my choice between them and other wing places in town, I would generally go with someplace else. But, if you want wings, and this is your only option, it will suffice.

Ker’s Wing House

Ker’s Wing House is a bar and grill style restaurant with a scantily clad staff. It may sound familiar to another chain, but the main difference is that the food here is good. They have a solid beer selection, which makes a perfect partner for their wings. Their wings come in a variety of flavors, Blackened being my favorite. Their Blackened wings are a nice mix of Cajun spices. You can also get the wings breaded, buffalo style, or naked.

Wing House offers a variety of sides as well, including fries, chili fries, onion rings, jalapeƱo poppers, and many more. One side they are famous for is their fried pickles, which are a nice is of sweet and tangy. The service at Ker’s is second only to the food. The only complaint that I have about the service, and Wing House in general, is that the staff comes by towards the end of your meal trying to sell you various merchandise including shot glasses, playing cards, calendars, and more. Putting up with this is a small price to pay for a great meal that will not leave you hungry.
