At the end of June, Buffalo Wild Wings launched a crazy promotion: bottomless appetizers for $9.99. In the era of Chili’s 3 for Me, the deal gives Buffalo Wild Wings fanatics a competitive value proposition.
Available options include mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fried pickles, and chips with salsa or queso. You can order two at a time and can mix and match, which isn’t always available with promotions like this. The best part? It’s $9.99 per table, not per person.
This deal is causing a huge debate online. Some people think it’s the best thing since all-you-can-eat wings, while others think it’s too good to be true.

“Who needs fast food with deals like this?” one Reddit user asked, referring to BWW’s new offer. When a combo meal at McDonald’s or Wendy’s is approaching $15, why not go someplace better and get more bang for your buck?
“Unlimited mozzarella sticks for 9.99??” another person wrote in disbelief. “Sign me up I can eat like 100.” One satisfied customer sang the deal’s praises. “Got this deal with my friends today, 4 of us total,” they wrote. “The deal is absolutely bonkers.”
Not everyone is happy, though. Some customers found the deal to be like dating in New York: easy to get the first round, but nearly impossible to follow up. “Bottomless = ignored,” one person solemnly wrote. “I’ve never ordered one of these promotions and didn’t have the server completely ignore me for the rest of my visit.” Another commenter had the same experience, writing, “Apparently a good way to guarantee you never see your waiter again is to order this.”
One person compared it to Olive Garden’s unlimited salad and breadsticks—and not in a good way. “Reminds me of Olive Garden and how they bring you like 2-3 bread sticks for the entire table at a time,” they wrote, “while the waiter plays their own version of where’s waldo so they don’t have to bring you more.”
