My family has visited this location several times and never had a bad experience. Servers were nice, quick and the food was amazing. We came from a long day at Cedar Point with 2 kids, that were starving. Unlike the Applebee's down the street that doesn't believe in sending meals out at different times. One of our favorite restaurants. Everything changed July 13th, most of the places were closed to be so close to a amusement and water park.
Around 10 p.m we were seated at a table, it wasn't really busy but had a decent Saturday night crowd. Our sister who hardly eats meat ordered a quesadilla, excited and our cousin who ordered the same plus cheese sticks. My husband and I ordered cheese curds and a large boneless wing with sauce on the side (you get fresh wings 99% of the time but get skimped on sauce). The cheese sticks came out within 10 mins and were hot.
We quickly finish the appetizer and talk, 20 mins come past nothing. Soon it's close to 11 and still no food. We flagged down our waitress and asked why have we been waiting so long. She told us food is 45-60 min wait and the host should've told us. Confused because they don't close until 2 and it wasn't busy. There were so many waitresses they were over staffed. No refills on water, napkins or extra trays for sharing, just the paper ones nothing fancy.
An hour and 15 mins passed, finally we get our food. Starving they start to eat the quesadilla and instantly looked upset. It was hard, cold and horrible. The chicken was fresh and sauce was on the side. We never got our cheese curds. So my husband told our waitress we ordered cheese curds, our toddler loves them it's the first thing we ordered. She sad oh nah you didn't, I don't see it on your order and walked off. She came back and asked did we want them, of course not we've been here 138 mins at this point no point of waiting another hour.
Our sister and cousin stopped eating, couldn't get past a few bites. She asked our waitress for the manager, she quickly came back and said she's busy with another table right now. Red flag! Manager was so busy because of all the issues with other tables not just us. Our cousin walks to the restroom and overheard our waitress talking crap about us. Calling my husband and f*cking liar about the cheese curds. She turned back around as the manager approached our table.
She told the manager straight up, visibly upset that our waitress talked crap about our family over cheese curds. It's disgusting, she never cleared our table. The manager clearly embarrassed but not surprised, we talked about the food being terrible showing the manager the quesadillas. All the way from Michigan to be treated in a bad way. They never ate, the whole way back. Since they aren't into fried chicken our efforts to let them eat ours didn't work. Everything was closed at this point.
The manager told us everything was free. For the first time ever, in history we didn't leave a tip. Our waitress was bad to begin with and that situation made it worse. We talked this place up just to get talked about. Other waitresses quickly heard about it and apologized as we were exiting. I never want to return to this place. Funny because we are all ex servers and were going to leave $80 in tips on a order less than $40. She blew it and no free food would want me to come back there. It's just Buffalo Wings to me, they didn't have wild sauce so it's just Buffalo in Sandusky.
Red flag! The restaurant has a decent crowd, hardly any tables around you have any food just low drinks. Red flag! You hardly see your server while you see others constantly checking on their tables. Red flag! You don't get basics like utensils, napkins, refills or extra trays. Red flag! Your sever constantly blaming co workers or customers for issues instead of trying to fix the situation. Red flag! The manager has visited more tables fixing bills and apologizing than average . Red Flag! If a normal sized order takes more than 45+ mins to come out while others come out extra out or super soggy and cold. Red flag! Calling a customer a f*cking liar.Red Flag! Your server never tells you their name and doesn't have a name tag. read more
