"It's hard to say no to deep fried cheese, and the miles-long cheese pull that any good mozzarella stick bestows. Since restaurant chains from steakhouses to sports bars all boast them on their menus, we tasted and ranked 8 chain restaurant mozzarella sticks according to taste, texture, breading, and cheese quality, along with the taste and consistency of any accompanying dipping sauces. Unfortunately, Buffalo Wild Wings' offerings landed in last place."
"There are various eye-opening facts about Buffalo Wild Wings that don't do anything to ingratiate us to them. The chain was once sued over false claims of vegetarian options. Just as Buffalo Wild Wings fries their wings in beef tallow, the chain uses the same beef tallow to fry its mozzarella sticks. So, if you're a vegetarian looking for meat-free menu items, skip these sad mozzarella sticks. Not that we would recommend these appetizers to anyone, anyway."
Eight chain restaurant mozzarella sticks were tasted and ranked based on taste, texture, breading, cheese quality, and dipping sauce consistency. Buffalo Wild Wings finished last. The mozzarella sticks featured ultra-thick, shell-like breading that snapped when bent and prevented the cheese from melting, leaving a stiff, string-cheese-like column. The included marinara sauce was bland and forgettable. Buffalo Wild Wings fries its mozzarella sticks in beef tallow, which makes them unsuitable for vegetarians and ties to a past lawsuit over false vegetarian claims. Customer reports compared the sticks to frozen varieties and showed some with little or no cheese.
