I'm at a complete loss with how I was handled. Poor management and the service was meh!
Headed home from the holidays and thought, I'll get some wings and watch a little bit of the TCU game instead of listen on the radio. My wife and mom can get a salad and everyone will be happy. After being seated, my mom was even more thrilled to find out that she could get cauliflower bites and a salad. Winning!
Well, our waiter, Ysidro (pardon me if I misspelled your name) came to our table and was completely confused and clearly had no sense of urgency whatsoever. We ordered drinks and I expressed that we were not in a rush, but would like to get in and out as soon as possible (had to get back on the road).
We got our drinks, ordered an appetizer and asked him to come right back to get our order. 7 minutes later (he has two other tables and the place is not busy for the middle of the afternoon) our waiter comes back to take our order. Wasn't difficult, he needed training and clearly was in the slow section for a reason. He was very nice and congenial, just timid and not in control of his tables.
All that being said, he took our order. It took over 25 minutes for two side salads, 10 wings, an order of fries and a small order of cauliflower bites. When the food got to the table, the cheese on the salads was melted from sitting under a heat lamp, the tomatoes on the salad have been soaking in their own juice in a half pan for a week, the fries were cold and hard and the wings were clearly warm from being under a heat lamp as well.
Bummer is, we don't have time for this sh!t. So, I got up, went into the bar to find a manager to get the salads and fries taken care of. I'll eat the wings.
The manager, Amy comes out of the kitchen. That's my first sign that there's an issue if the manager let that tray of food leave the kitchen. She walked up to me and I expressed my frustration with the salads. I then said, 'and the fries...'. She finished my sentence and said 'they were cold weren't they!' RUFKM! You knew and still let the food go out.
Amy said she would remake the salads and bring them right out. She asked if I wanted her to remake the wings, she never offered to do anything about the fries. She then asked what else I wanted her to do for me. Well, considering this has now turned into an event, I'll leave the rest up to Amy to decide how she wanted to handle the rest of this.
Well, the salads came out and honestly, they didn't look a whole lot better than the first ones. Clearly they are premade and then garnished, but whomever is in the kitchen has no idea how to turn the salads after they've sat the entire day before sending them out of the kitchen.
Our waiter brought us some fresh fries about a minute later and the size of the order was legit! The first order was on the same tray as the wings (ordered as a side).
Long story a little bit longer, when the check came, I asked the waiter about a $3.00 coupon. He asked if I was a member and I gave him my phone #.
Due to the fact that I had gotten my salads comped, the $3.00 discount wasn't eligible. That's is a crock of sh!t also.
My entire meal should have been comped. I compromised myself and ate wings that were cooked 10 minutes before the salad and cauliflower bites were made but 20 minutes after the French fries were made.
I'm a HUGE BW3's fan! Been going to the one in the woodlands and in Austin off Stassney for years. This is by far, not only the worst BW3's I've ever been to, but am so disgusted that they have a store so poorly run and continue to get poor ratings and clearly are not doing anything about it that I can tell.
I have more than patronized BW3's but will ? my desire for wings when traveling in the future. I thought I could stay with what I know, but there is a serious lack of consistency across this board. read more
