Buffalo Wild Wings Greens Menu with Prices & Calories 2026
Buffalo Wild Wings calls their salad section the “Greens Menu” and it is one of the most overlooked parts of the entire BWW experience. Most people walk in thinking wings and leave without even glancing at it. That is a mistake. The BWW salads are generous, properly built around real chicken (your choice of grilled, original crispy, or spicy crispy), and priced at a point where they compete with the burger and wings sections. They are not an afterthought three of the four main salads are full meal-size portions that can stand on their own.
Every Salad on the BWW Greens Menu
Chicken Caesar Salad ~$14.99 | ~890 cal
The Chicken Caesar Salad is the most popular salad on the Buffalo Wild Wings Greens Menu and it earns that position with a genuinely well-executed build. Grilled chicken is seasoned with a Lemon Pepper dry rub before being placed over crisp romaine that dry rub detail is what separates this Caesar from the standard chain version. Lemon Pepper adds a citrusy brightness to the chicken that cuts through the richness of the Caesar dressing rather than competing with it. The salad is finished with Parmesan Garlic sauce, shaved Parmesan, and house-made croutons.
The Parmesan Garlic sauce is an interesting choice on top of Caesar dressing it adds a garlic-forward richness that makes the overall flavour profile more complex than a standard Caesar. The portion is substantial enough to function as a full meal. At 890 calories it is the middle-range option on the Greens Menu by calorie count.
One ordering note: ask for the dressing on the side. Caesar dressing is calorie-dense, and a light hand applied yourself can save 150–200 calories without sacrificing the flavour.
Full ingredients: Grilled chicken (Lemon Pepper dry rub), romaine, Parmesan Garlic sauce, Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan, croutons.
Honey BBQ Chicken Salad ~$15.29 | ~960 cal
The Honey BBQ Chicken Salad is the most distinctive build on the BWW Greens Menu and the one that best reflects the Buffalo Wild Wings brand identity because it uses BWW’s own Honey BBQ signature sauce as the chicken glaze rather than a separate dressing. Grilled chicken is tossed directly in sweet, smoky Honey BBQ sauce before hitting the salad, which means every bite of chicken carries the sauce flavour rather than requiring you to dip.
The base is romaine and cabbage with shredded carrots, tomatoes, bacon crumbles, cheddar-jack cheese, and green onions a Southwestern-leaning build that pairs well with the sweet BBQ profile. The dressing is creamy ranch, which balances the sweetness of the Honey BBQ without overwhelming it.
At 960 calories it is on the higher end for a salad at any casual dining chain, but the combination of protein, cheese, bacon, and sauce-glazed chicken means you are getting a genuinely filling meal. The crunch from the cabbage and carrots against the warm, saucy chicken is the highlight of the whole build.
Full ingredients: Grilled chicken (tossed in Honey BBQ sauce), romaine, cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, bacon crumbles, cheddar-jack cheese, green onions, ranch dressing.
Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad ~$16.49 | ~1,100 cal
The Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad is the boldest, most filling, and most calorie-dense salad on the BWW Greens Menu and it is the most on-brand salad the restaurant serves. This is essentially the BWW wing experience translated into a salad format. You can order the chicken as original crispy, spicy crispy, or grilled all three are tossed in Medium Buffalo sauce before going onto the salad. The crispy version is the most popular because the textural contrast between the crunchy breaded chicken and the cool, fresh salad base is what makes it work.
The base is romaine and cabbage with shredded carrots, tomatoes, bacon crumbles, bleu cheese dressing, bleu cheese crumbles, and green onions. The bleu cheese pairing with Buffalo sauce is the classic wing combination applied to a salad, and it works for the same reason it works on a plate of wings the funk and creaminess of bleu cheese softens the heat and vinegar of Buffalo sauce perfectly.
At 1,100 calories with crispy chicken and full dressing it is a substantial meal. For a lower-calorie version, order with grilled chicken (saves roughly 200 calories) and request the bleu cheese dressing on the side.
Full ingredients: Crispy, spicy, or grilled chicken (tossed in Medium Buffalo sauce), romaine, cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, bacon crumbles, bleu cheese dressing, bleu cheese crumbles, green onions.
Garden Chicken Salad ~$13.99 | ~680–750 cal
The Garden Chicken Salad is the most versatile and lowest-calorie main salad on the BWW Greens Menu and the most customisable. Grilled or crispy chicken sits over a bed of fresh mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, a blend of cheeses, and croutons. The dressing is your choice from the full BWW dressing menu, which gives this salad a flexibility that the other three do not have.
At approximately $13.99 it is the most affordable main salad on the Greens Menu. At 680–750 calories (depending on dressing choice and whether you go grilled or crispy) it is also the lightest full-meal salad a meaningful difference from the 960–1,100 calorie range of the other three options.
The honest assessment is that the Garden Chicken Salad is a solid, clean salad that does not have the personality of the other three. The Honey BBQ and Buffalo options have a BWW flavour identity that the Garden does not. But if you want something fresh and light without committing to a bold sauce profile, this is the right order.
Full ingredients: Grilled or crispy chicken, mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, blend of cheeses, croutons, choice of dressing.
Garden Side Salad ~$4.49 | ~120–180 cal
The Garden Side Salad is exactly what it sounds like a small, simple salad designed to accompany a main rather than replace it. Romaine, cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, cheddar-jack cheese, green onions, and your choice of dressing. No protein, no croutons by default. At around $4.49 it is one of the most affordable items on the entire BWW menu.
This salad functions well as a lighter starter to balance a heavier wing order, or as a low-calorie side swap for anyone who wants to avoid fries. At 120–180 calories (without dressing) it is the lowest-calorie option on the Greens Menu by a significant margin.
Full ingredients: Romaine, cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, cheddar-jack cheese, green onions, choice of dressing.
