    12.99... fn bullshit for 8 chicken nuggets.
    John C.

    Prob wont be back til the economy figures out wtf its doing, prices are kinda outrageous. 12.99 for 8 chicken nuggets is garbage. Staff is fine but the franchise should be ashamed, im done eating here for a while.

    Boneless wings Asian Chile sauce.
    David T.

    We've been here before and it wasn't so pleasant. We decided to give it another go. We were greeted quickly and with a smiling face. Sat very quickly and the server was at our table within minutes. The restaurant was clean and the restrooms were also. They were moderately busy. Our server, Brittany N. Was by far the best waitress I have ever had. She understood what a customer expected and went beyond to satisfy. She even helps cook also at times so she also gets the food. She ensured we understood that what we wanted was very important. If anything, she's the reason I will go back. Let's get to what people really want to know, the food. My wife said the salad was good and a great portion. I had the boneless wings with the Asian Chile sauce. They were crispy and hot. I did have to ask for more sauce as there was not enough to me on them. To be fair, I enjoy mine very saucy. Once the extra sauce was on, they were right on. My wife ordered the Bourbon street steak that was tender and cooked the way she asked. The sides were great also. I had the Bourbon street chicken and shrimp. I asked for the onions and mushrooms separate and it came with the onions under the chicken. I was ok with that. No big deal. The waitress ensured the kitchen knew it was a big deal. LOL! The food was great and the shrimp just hit right with that garlic butter. If you've read this far, I appreciate it as I know you're a person that enjoys an honest review. I'll be back again just as long as Brittany N is our waitress. Thanks Brittany N if you read these. You made a difference.

    The food was excellent, little slow coming out of the kitchen. Waite staff is a little scarce at times, but the food compensates.

    This isn't the first time that we have been here. The atmosphere is loud but not bad being its…read moremusic. Lots of TVs and different things on. It was clean inside! Upon walking in as I decided to give this place a try again, we waited for about 3 minutes or so to be seated as no one was up front. When the young man did show up though, he was energetic and very pleasant. Our server, Chaz, was wonderful. She was to the table quickly and knew how to interact with anyone at the table. She wasn't an annoying server that hovered but never missed a beat. I always appreciate great service no matter the food sometimes. As for the food, I got the 10 boneless wings in two flavors. One was the bullit bourbon one, which was very tasty, but as always, it needed more sauce. The other flavor was Nashville hot, I only got to eat one as it they were very dry and barely covered in sauce. The fries were fries. They were cooked well though. My kid enjoyed the tender meal and tots. The nachos weren't bad either. The beer was nice and cold also. My other kid said that the burger he had was nice and juicy and enjoyable. Now, for the unfortunate bad......the boneless wings needed more sauce and 3 I couldn't even eat as they were very dry and hard. No big deal there, fried food= bad ones sometimes. The Mac and cheese for 4.99 was a huge disappointment. I thought, 4.99, it has to be pretty good. I was wrong! Right away from the time it hit the table in a paper container I could clearly see that it was microwaved so long that it was dried out and rubbery. The cheese was burnt onto the sides all the way around. Apparently, the kitchen staff who checks the quality failed in the kitchen as that should never go out to a table. I let my waitress, Chaz know about the issue and she did get it comped for us. I did appreciate that as I only took one bite of it and it was like leaving Mac and cheese in the fridge for a week and then eating it. The appetizer we had was the sampler, All of it was pretty decent except again, not enough sauce on the wings and some of the onion rings were a bit burned. This would be the 3rd time we've been here. I went against my better judgement as my kids wanted to eat there. Tonight, the service was outstanding, but the food was nothing that I want to return to. If I ever do return it'll be just get the service from Chaz again as it's the best I've had here. I think some things might need a change finally.

    I should have read the review stars on Yelp before we even walked through the door!…read more First, I want to recognize that our waitress was excellent. She was friendly, attentive, and did her best throughout our visit. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of our experience. We visited on a Sunday morning shortly after opening. It appeared that very little cleaning had been done after closing the previous evening. The restroom was particularly concerning. The floors were slick from what appeared to be urine that had been left overnight, the odor was overwhelming, and parts of the floor were sticky enough that my shoes were sticking as I walked. Cleanliness should be a basic expectation, especially at opening time. When our food arrived, my Beer Cheese Cheesesteak was disappointing. It had very little chicken, almost no beer cheese, and the chicken that was on the sandwich had an unusual texture, as if it had been overprocessed. I recently ordered the same meal at another Buffalo Wild Wings location and it was excellent, which made this experience even more disappointing. My wife ordered a salad, and our waitress informed us that there were no clean utensils available and asked if plastic forks would be acceptable. At a restaurant that had just opened for the day and only had a few tables occupied, this was surprising. After our meal, I asked why there were no clean utensils, and I was told they were still being washed and that the restaurant simply did not have enough. That is not a server issue--it is a management issue. This visit reflected poor operational management, not poor service from the wait staff. The employees appeared to be doing the best they could with the resources available. However, cleanliness, food quality, and having enough basic dining utensils are fundamental responsibilities of restaurant management. The New Bern, NC location needs significant improvement in these areas. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location until those issues are addressed. The only reason for the 1 star is our waitress! She deserves 5
