Buffalo Wild Wings - Lake Worth, TX


Buffalo Wild Wings, the wing place?  Yep - again, this blog is to show that you can eat ethically almost anywhere and, like a lot of places you wouldn't think of, BWW has a decent amount of vegan options.

Started out with an IPA called The Game Changer, represented as a BWW brew.  While it was actually pretty good, but I was fortunate enough to be at a Fort Worth-area location and enjoyed the Rahr Gravel Road they had on tap more.  

I selected the black bean burger, clearly listed in their build a burger section with their meat options (see?  I coulda called it 'dead animal' options, but this isn't that kinda blog ;-)   Then you can select lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos, pico de gallo and/or a pickle.  Best part?  There are about 5 'rubs' and 15 or so sauces you can get, same as you would chose from when you order wings.  I chose the (very good) sweet BBQ sauce but later tried the Asian Zing with some fries and it was very very good.  Most of the rubs and sauces appear vegan and there is a description of each so you can avoid the ones with Parmesan cheese, honey, etc for a true vegan selection. 

Despite it being 8 o'clock on a Friday night the service was friendly and prompt.  They changed the TV's to our request and my food came out rather quickly looking as it appears above.  The burger was really good and was served with fresh tomato and onion slices.  I prefer the wedge fries to the thin ones pictured, but I didn't think to order them so that's on me.  I did get the salt and vinegar dusting on them and that added a nice flavoring.

My friend picked up the tab, but I believe the burger was around $8 and the beers around $5 for a pint.  I have not been to a BWW in a while and do not believe I ate when I did, so I was pleasantly surprised by the vegan options including salads (ordered without he chicken), several french fry/onion ring options and other appetizers.  Point being, don't fear going to BWW with your friends for the game - there are ethical choices here as well!
