Buffalo wild wings is a massive national chain of restaurants that cater to the Wing loving crowds. With a plethora of wing sauces, there are a lot of options when you come here, including Nachos. The sports bar atmosphere isn’t the most original idea, but they do it with a purpose. The nation wide digital pub quizzes are a nice touch, and I’ll admit their sauces are worth eating. As long as you can get one of the teenage waiter/waitresses to actually serve you, there are quite a lot of options on the menu. It has a very Chilies/Applebees vibe with a wing twist.

Buffalo Wild wings offers one form of Nachos called “Ultimate Nachos.” They are offered with chicken as an added cost of $1.  They are comprised of a bed of chips, Texas chili, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, jalapenos, queso, and salsa.  Don’t forget the added chicken.

For all the fixings that came with it, $8 seemed like a pretty good deal. When they came the nachos were a respectable size, and quite attractive. The Pico gave it a nice color variation. First bite, however, told a different story indeed. Although the chips were standard fare, the rest of the ingredients were sub par. The chicken was flavorless and cold and the jalapenos were mild (at a place famous for hot sauce). The pico, which is always welcome on a nacho was equally bland, and almost unnoticeable. The liquid cheese queso had an overpowering flavor that lingered on the tongue, and made other flavors undiscernable. The worst addition, however, was the Texas style chili. This chili was below average, and was impossible to escape, is it was the most prevalent topping. This was a pretty lame nacho, the kind i’m sure you would get in areas where Mexican food means “Taco Bell”. Despite its low price, I would recommend avoiding it. Just get the wings, its what they are famous for, and they do alright with them.
