Buffalo Wild Wings Kids Menu with Prices & Calories 2026

Every Kids Meal   What to Actually Order

Kids Cheeseburger + Fries  ~$7.49 | ~970 cal

The Kids Cheeseburger is a scaled-down version of the BWW burger lineup  a beef patty with melted American cheese on a soft bun, served with French fries. It is the highest-calorie item on the kids menu at approximately 970 calories, which reflects the combination of the beef patty, cheese, bun, and fries. The burger itself is properly sized for younger children  not a full adult-portion smash burger, but a real beef patty rather than a processed nugget-style product.

At $7.49 it is priced at the top of the kids menu alongside the tenders and traditional wings. For parents who want a familiar, no-surprise meal for a child who does not like chicken or wings, this is the natural order.

Kids Boneless Wings + Fries  ~$6.99 | ~740 cal

The Kids Boneless Wings give younger diners access to the core BWW experience in a manageable portion  the same all-white meat boneless wings from the adult menu, served with a choice of dipping sauce and French fries. The portion is sized for a child’s appetite rather than a full adult order.

The key decision for parents is sauce selection. The BWW sauce lineup runs from genuinely mild to extremely spicy. For kids, the recommended mild choices are Honey BBQ (sweet, mild, crowd-pleasing), Ranch (classic creamy dip), Honey Mustard (sweet and tangy, no heat), and Sweet BBQ (similar to Honey BBQ but slightly smokier). Avoid Medium, Hot, Wild, Mango Habanero, and anything above  these are genuinely spicy and not appropriate for most children.

At $6.99 the Kids Boneless Wings are the most affordable wing option on the kids menu and one of the best value orders for children who are comfortable with mild flavours.

Full sauce recommendations for kids:

•  Honey BBQ  sweet, zero heat, most kid-friendly
•  Sweet BBQ  similar to Honey BBQ, slightly smokier
•  Ranch or Honey Mustard for dipping (not a sauce coating)
•  Teriyaki  mild, sweet, soy-based
•  Mild sauce  has slight heat, test first
•  Medium and above  too spicy for most children

Kids Hand-Breaded Tenders + Fries  ~$7.49 | ~830 cal

The Kids Hand-Breaded Tenders are the same fresh in-house breaded chicken tenders from the adult Tenders menu, served in a kid-appropriate portion with French fries and a dipping sauce. The hand-breading is genuinely done fresh at each location not pre-breaded frozen strips, which gives the tenders a proper crust and a juicy interior that most kids respond well to.

At approximately 830 calories with fries they are a substantial meal for a child. The tenders themselves without fries are around 490 calories for the adult 3-piece serving, so the kid portion is noticeably smaller. The recommended dipping sauces are the same mild options as for the boneless wings  Honey BBQ, Ranch, or Honey Mustard are the safest calls.

At $7.49 the Kids Tenders are the most straightforward safe order on the entire BWW kids menu for parents who want something familiar and reliably kid-friendly.

Kids Traditional Wings + Fries  ~$7.49 | ~790 cal

The Kids Traditional Wings are bone-in chicken wings  the actual wings from the BWW adult menu in a kid-sized portion, with a choice of sauce. This is the most adventurous order on the kids menu because traditional bone-in wings require more manual dexterity to eat than boneless wings or tenders. For younger children still working on that coordination, boneless wings or tenders are the more practical choice.

For older kids who are comfortable eating bone-in wings, this is a genuinely fun order at BWW  it is what the restaurant is famous for, and a mild sauce makes it completely appropriate. The same sauce guidance applies here as for the boneless wings: stick to Honey BBQ, Sweet BBQ, Teriyaki, or a plain dipping sauce like Ranch.

At $7.49 it is the same price as the tenders and cheeseburger.

Kids Mac & Cheese + Fries  ~$6.49 | ~1,010 cal

The Kids Mac & Cheese is the most calorie-dense item on the BWW kids menu at approximately 1,010 calories  which is mostly explained by the combination of a creamy, cheese-heavy mac portion alongside the full French fries. It is also the cheapest main kids meal option at $6.49 alongside the Grilled Cheese.

The mac & cheese itself is creamy and consistently executed. It is a safe, familiar order for children who are not interested in chicken or wings and is vegetarian-friendly  the only vegetarian option on the kids menu alongside the Grilled Cheese.

One practical note: 1,010 calories is a lot for a child’s meal. If your child has a smaller appetite, consider asking for the mac & cheese without fries or as a partial portion  most BWW locations will accommodate this.

Kids Grilled Cheese + Fries  ~$6.49 | ~540 cal

The Kids Grilled Cheese is the lightest item on the BWW kids menu at approximately 540 calories and tied for the most affordable at $6.49. It is a simple, properly made grilled cheese quality cheese melted between toasted bread  served with French fries. Nothing fancy, but nothing wrong either.

At 540 calories the grilled cheese has the most reasonable calorie count of any kids meal on the menu, especially for younger children with smaller appetites. It is also vegetarian-friendly.

The Grilled Cheese is the most underrated order on the BWW kids menu. It is consistently executed, inexpensive, and leaves calorie room for the fries and milk without pushing into the 800–1,000+ calorie territory of the wing and burger options.

Kids Original Chicken Dippers + Fries  ~$6.99 | ~620 cal

The Kids Original Chicken Dippers are whole chicken breast filet pieces  not nugget-style formed meat  in a lighter breading than the Hand-Breaded Tenders. They are served with French fries and a choice of dipping sauce (B-Dubs Dip, Ranch, or Honey Mustard typically). The Dippers format is slightly smaller and more approachable than the full tenders, making them a natural fit for younger children who want chicken but find the full tenders slightly too large.

At approximately 620 calories with fries they are notably lighter than the Hand-Breaded Tenders (830 cal) and the Boneless Wings (740 cal). They are made from whole breast filets rather than ground or formed chicken, which is a genuine quality differentiator from standard kids menu chicken nuggets at most chains.
