BW's Barbecue Express Review

Good food, good price, good sauce on tender ribs, but wasn't smoky flavor. I will be back there to eat again

Good BBQ. 7.99 for 1/4 chicken an 2 sides. ...awesome deal....

Great food Great service Great prices Don't miss this place!!!

I've heard about this place from a few people. So I decided to stop in since I was out that way. Great experience for a first time. Polite people and food was great. Enjoyed the pit wings, the bacon burger was fantastic.

Decided to try this restaurant after seeing it at the EC fair for years. Ordered charbroiled wings and half ribs. Wings were okay on outside, dry on inside, sauce while acceptable was not top notch. Blue cheese arrived at table noticeably dried out, had to get a replacement which was better. On to the ribs, were told these were best in Buffalo by waitress. Not so. Tried a small corner, fatty, nowhere near tender, chewing endlessly on this small sampling. My sides, garlic mashed potato, lumpy, looked like it was sitting out all day. The fries looked okay but never tried them. Total disappointment. Although I paid for the meal which came to around $60, tried calling manager at main telephone afterwards, nobody answers even though restaurant is open, answering machine says call back during business hours. If you are a real BBQ enthusiast and you go here, prepare for a subpar experience. They probably have some inexperienced staff during weekdays. Not sure if I went on wrong day but won t be back ever. Waitress was good and the pink lemonade drink, expected more for near $60. Stick to Texas Roadhouse, best advice.

Very friendly... And welcoming, food is sooo good.. Love them

Awesome food, awesome service and a happy & great atmosphere!!!!

Terrible food. Mac and cheese inedible as were the beans. Ribs were good. :(

Outstanding place for chicken if you live south of Buffalo. Went there with a large number of family members. I had a bbq chicken sandwich. It was so tasty and juicy. I give them a 10 star rating if I could. Please go if you have the chance to.

The BEST pulled pork in WNY! Service is impeccable! Pork will melt in your mouth and you will come back for more!!! I can bet!

I love coming here for BBQ ribs. Great food, good service, reasonable prices,

love it and will be back and will tell all my friends how much I loved it!!!

I had a bad feeling agreeing to come here based on some recent reviews. I wished I decided on going someplace else. The service was painfully slow, even with a more than half empty building. The tiles above my son leaked and some type of water dropped on him. The sauces are good quality, but you will need them for the dry, shoe leather tough pork. I feel bad that they just can t be better. The place has been around forever. Next time we are in town I will give them another chance.

Very good food. Great variety of food and sauces. Appetizers were great.

Very friendly. I waited at the bar for my take out order. The girls were very friendly and the music is always good too,lol.

Consistently great food and lovely people! I bring out of towners here all the time for casual comfort food and a guaranteed nice experience.

Went there after trying and loving their wings at the Taste of Buffalo. Wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon...ordered some wings and a reuban. The service was by no means slow but because they made an error they didn't charge me for it. Any other place would most likely haven't said anything and let it go. Kudos to them. The reuban was excellent and the wings were as expected:awesome. Prices were VERY reasonable and the service was great. Definitely would recommend this place!!

Really good barbecue chicken and ribs. The ribs were very tender.

All you can eat Wednesday ribs are a win if you can handle at last half a rack haha

I love their ribs! They fall right off the bone, just amazing. Love the honey BBQ sauce.

Fabulous! We ordered takeout for the last 2 family birthday parties and it's a great change from typical pizza and wings or cooking. We order the pulled pork and they help you with deciding amount to order based on qty of people. Mac n cheese is delish, baked beans are yummy, and bbq ribs are to die for!
Ask for extra bbq sauce if you order pulled pork for catering - helps with heating/reheating plus it's delish

Food was average. Nothing special about them. The service was slow with not many people there. The bread was off the shelf basic with shelf butter. Everything felt like i was getting frozen meals heated and served.

I love the food here. My wife also loves it. The portions are generous and their catering is wonderful. Prepare to be full!

This place was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was very friendly and even turned the train for my son which made his night. The food was amazing. Some of the best BBQ I've had in a while. I got the meat platter, the chicken was probably my favorite of all of it. I look forward to going back again soon.

Service was good, sweet potato fries were good, everything else was bad. Their ribs are not even close to the best I ever had. They fell apart and I had to use a fork. That is not how ribs are supposed to be. You should be able to pick them up , take a bite and have the meat pull away but still have meat on the bone. The ribs were also caked with sauce, again not how ribs are supposed to be. Their brisket was dry and cut very thin. Was more of a roast taste than true Texas brisket. No hint of any rub used. The mac and cheese had very little flavor and was stupid hot like it had just been microwaved. Will not go back.

Great food and service. Large portions and the 1/4+1/4 was the perfect balance !

We placed an order Saturday night for my sister's fiance's bachelor party. The orders got mixed up with another Joe but since I was the last order of the night, the phones were no longer able to be answered. I messaged them on Facebook messenger and they called me within 3 minutes. I had my original order within 15 minutes. Excellent service and they saved the bachelor party. Will definitely do business with them again.

Excellent food and service. Very reasonably priced and large portions. The 38 Special sandwich is divine!

The staff here are great, the waitress we had was very good. Drinks stayed full, she was polite and didn't rush us.

The food was just alright, brisket had no bark, was under seasoned and didn't have much if any smoke taste. No visible smoke ring. I know the smoke ring means little, but normally its at least visible.

The ribs were over cooked and falling apart, charred on the top, sauced on the top but NO rub or sauce on the underside (pic attached of rib underside). They came as a full slab, the crust on the top was so hard and the meat so over cooked that they just fell apart when cutting. They tasted okay, the BBQ sauce they have is great. As is the variety of the sauces they have. 4-5 different typed to choose from. The Carolina sauce is awesome.

The sides were all lacking. We had the garlic mash, mac and cheese and the baked beans. The baked beans were the best of all three. Mash and mac and cheese were all very bland. The gravy helped the mash but it did taste like pre-made gravy. Mac and cheese tasted like nothing. Everything missing salt.

They did seem to have a lot of staff, and they just gathered by the bathroom it seemed. Kind of made it awkward to go to the bathroom.

All and all id skip this, you can make better ribs in your oven and make a chuck roast that tastes better than the brisket. After paying $55+ for two people we should have went to dinosaur.

Great food and Service i was disappointed i bpught the box of Barbecue Sauces on the way out and the one i wanted the bottle of Nashville Tennessee was missing from the box. Next time they should check the box before they sell it .

We recently tried this place for the first time. I have struggled between 4 and 5 stars because I think the place is excellent. I would not say it's the best I've ever had so I resist the five. I will say it's a very friendly place the staff and owner were extremely friendly. Out of everything we tried which was chicken ribs and brisket without question the ribs were most amazing. Everything else was good. I'm not quite settled on a 5-star though. I would still highly recommend this place. I also wasn't in love with the barbecue sauces available. Not that they weren't good but most of them on the table all had a sweetness to it. I personally prefer a smoky spicy sauce and there was not one available. Everything was good as is but I like to add some sauce and I just didn't really like any of them enough for my personal taste.

The Q was spectacular. Nice smokey flavor without being overpowering. Huge portion of RibTips, brisket was nice and moist, the Chicken was so juicy and the Ribs fell off the bone. Sweet Potato fries with some sort of honey sauce to dip in were cooked perfect, crisp outside,soft inside. Last but not least Sarah our server was AMAZING. So friendly and super attentive. We most certainly will be returning to BWS.

Good bbq and big portion. Took half my platter home and that never happens

Love the food the atmosphere and the background music is wonderful, very pleasant staff. Will be taking Mom there again soon.

Placed a to go order, food was amazing!! Ribs were the best I've had in a long time, mac n cheese was fantastic and bbq brisket and pulled pork were mouth watering!!! We will definitely be back!!

I had the rind and they were delicious and fall off the bone tender

Great BBQ food, service, and atmosphere. I make sure to stop in anytime I am in the Buffalo area.

Great service and food. Waitress was kind and polite

Very delicious food and nice service.We will definetely come back!

excellent food. we go out of our way for this place.

BBQ at its best!! Fabulous chicken, pork, beef brisket and ribs...along with comport foods, seafood, burgers etc. Huge selection of sides, homemade soup, sandwiches etc. Can't beat the service and prices!!

1st time! Son treated, delicious, excellent service!

Amazing food and terrific service. We had a great time!

Love their food and service so much we order take out almost weekly.

OMG BW'S is still the best. I haven't been there in a while only because I used to live closer to it. Ribs are so good. Only if you like smokey, fall off the bone good. Chicken is great too. The sides are all good my favorite is the Mac and cheese delicious. They have the BBQ sauce on the table so there's always plenty. A great place for family and friends to meet.

First visit. Nice spacious dining room, very good friendly service, and the food is pretty good

Awesome all you can eat ribs and all the sides you can eat, can't get any better

This is an awesome place. Never disappointed and friendly and fast service.

Always enjoy BWs. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries.
Great menu, great food and friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

So my son went to this restaurant and he had my phone actually so I don't know can you tell me if it was good or not but for the sake of whatever I guess it was good because are you cycle hog sow I thank you anyway

Outstanding ribs, very meaty, sides were good also, full now, going to take a knap

Service was slow, brisket was meh and was very fatty. Sauces are good. Great sweet potato fries and Jalapeno Bomb was decent. Better BBQ can be found elsewhere.

Great local BBQ joint. The staff is friendly and the food is great. They always have specials and serve great drinks too. A great spot for any occasion family, date, friends.

Wanted just a tiny sample of their soup of the day. Waitress said no?.? Thought that was stupid. But the chicken dinner was excellent.

There's nothing you can order here that could be bad. Hit up the all you can eat rib night, make a reservation. Great for everyone from singles to families.

Best BBQ spot in the area to me. Brisket is amazing and real good mac and cheese.

Nice atmosphere, cute and nice wait staff and the food is good, its not to over priced. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing BBQ!!! Walk in and enjoy the food it's always good!
