This place has certainly gone down in our experience. We have worn our 'Usual customer' badges for some time. Seems like the staff just doesn't GAF about customer service at all anymore. Seems like that for the past 4-5 times I've gone, no matter when or how many in my party, the experience has suffered from a total lack of customer service. Especially in our group, who knows there's this certain waitress a big Bee with an ITCH always gives us attitude, ignores us but then glares at us and the vibe is very unpleasant.
We stopped going there because of her & since expectations will hardly be met. However, our friends still go frequently because they love Happy hour at the bar after work & it's nearby them. They planned a 'Going Away' shindig on a Saturday. We decided to go in honor of our friends. We had a busy day that day & we planned to go pretty late... moreover, we live at least 20 minutes away. Knowingly, the food takes a long time & we were really hungry; I placed an order through the BWW app on the way to the restaurant because it would be approx 10:40pm by the time we arrive.
Additionally, we were already knowing our friends would have been done eating, because they had already been there for 3 hours prior. We greeted them & we all decided to move to some tables because now there were 5 of us. When the waitress came to get our order, (this is a waitress that we seem to get every time we come to this joint, she's generally rude and has a bee with an itch attitude for no reason). Our friends continued to order more drinks & I mentioned we already placed an order but I did want to order something else but we need a little more time because our friends were all trying to catch up with us. We all know how lonnnng the food takes here. On a side note, I also like to order my meals To-Go in restaurants often, because then I don't have to ask for take home boxes because I rarely finish everything. At least another 15 min went by and the waitress didn't come back to ask if we were ready again.
It was time to go pick up, the food was still not ready even though I ordered ahead of time. While we waited in front for the first order, I decided to order more food, just 6 wings, we avoided our waitress anyway she was always so rude and took extra long. Everyone at our table knows this waitress and everyone really dislikes her.
I knew if I ordered more food, it was going to take another block of time but it didn't really matter because at least we'd have the first order. The friendly & hospitable gal said we still had to wait for our first order so I told her we were sitting with our friends at the table next to the drink fountain area & pointed towards the table. She acknowledged & said she would bring the food over to our table when it was ready.
Our food comes in a to go bag and then she says, "I will bring your other order out when it's ready." I thanked her & she left. The waitress came back to our table as we were picking at the fries as we were starving & told me that I could not be in there. Then she threatened to go tell her manager. About 5 min later the manager comes & tells me to PUT THE FOOD BACK IN THE BAG. She said I CANNOT EAT my BUFFALO WILD WINGS order in the restaurant. I said "how? This is YOUR restaurant's food. Our group are all eating and drinking here. Why does it matter where we eat it? we are still waiting for our other order that's taking forever...." She was blatantly rude and continued to demand that I put the food back in the bag. So I shove the food back in the bag & it goes cold, as we are stuck waiting for the other order. It takes 30-35 additional MINUTES for the other food to arrive. Our friends told the manager that they "just spent over $200 tonight" but the manager proceeds to hold her ground and tell us we couldn't eat our food in there. The entire table was utterly shocked and disgusted by the rude and ridiculous rules pressed by the waitress / manager.
We've spent thousands at this joint. I've bought hundreds of dollars of gift cards. Not anymore. Ever. I will never be back here again for their lousy, rude and lack of any customer service. Do better on your shi**y customer service. Goodbye & good riddance, BBW Canyon Country!! read more
