Buffalo Wild Wings is tricking customers into thinking they’re eating wing meat when they order boneless wings, when in fact they’re just chicken nuggets… at least according to a new lawsuit.
The nationwide restaurant chain is being dragged into a class action lawsuit by a man named Aimen Halim, and he’s got a serious bone to pick here. Sorry, we had to.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Halim claims that Buffalo Wild Wings’ boneless wings are not boneless wings, as customers would be led to believe, but slices of breast meat fried like wings with a composition more akin to nuggets than wings.
He says he fell victim to what he describes as deceptive marketing.
Taste and transparency aren’t the only issues for Halim… he says BWW is misleading customers into selling a cheaper product for more than it’s worth, and accuses the chain of knowing it’s misleading advertising and he refuses to change his ways.
Halim claims that other restaurants that sell boneless chicken, like Papa John’s, are being careful not to market it as wings…and he’s howling like crazy. BWW doesn’t even mention in fine print anywhere on the menu that the meat is actually from the brisket and not the wing
Of course, the guy goes after Buffalo Wild Wings for money.
We contacted BWW…so far no response.
