This specific BBW location is such a hit and miss with wait times, service, and quality of food…read more On our most recent visit we waited approximately10-15 minutes for a server to come to our table even though there were about 6 walking around in the section we were sat in. We were trying to be patient because unfortunately my hubby loves BBWs and this is a location we are very familiar with and know from experience service is commonly slow. We decided to give a few more minutes and if the wait time exceeded 20 minutes we were leaving. Our server eventually showed up, and since we are "experts" in ordering we were not going to risk waiting so we placed our food order at the same time as our drinks. Food and drinks came out about 8-10min later. This time my cauliflower wings were hot, nice and spicy mango habanero flavor but I was disappointed they no longer top them off with chopped green onions, pickled jalapeño slices and sesame seeds. Now they are serving them without toppings which is awfully sad as they are pretty pricey item on the menu. Hubby orders his usual which is 18 traditional, all flats, extra crispy medium heat level. They no longer serve chopped carrots rather itty bitty ones from a bulk package. They serve less carrots and less celery. A shame when you need something to help cool your mouth from the flaming heat of our favorite sauces. Overall, we have seen a commonality amongst BBW restaurants regardless of geographic location, service is slow. Expect long wait times for a server to hit your table. Expect wait times for drinks and drink refills. Wait time for food depends on what you order. Extra crispy wings add a few more minutes usually. We will continue to frequent BBWs to appease the hubby. I'd prefer not to but I'll always do it for him.

The server quickly removed the dish, apologized and brought a new one within a few minutes. The second dip was hot and tangy, but very salty. The service was friendly and quick.

I was in Spokane for a conference and stumbled upon Wooden City because it is on the Spokane "where…read moreto eat list". A deeper dive showed a good possibility of gluten free options, so I made the reservation. I was in town on a Monday, just after Hoopfest, but they were the kind of busy where a reservation should always be made I think. My table was ready and I sat in the bar at a high top table. I think I would choose "in the dining room" next time. My server was friendly and quick, as well as knowledgeable about gluten free options. There is even a separate menu that lays out the dishes that are already gf or could be made to be. Love this, always. I ordered the summer salad to start. It was amazing. Flavorful. Fresh. The mint wasn't overpowering, the watermelon was the perfect ripeness. It was so good. I would try to recreate it but it was done so well, and I know I couldn't hit that dressing in the same way. Get it while you can. For my main, I had ordered the scallops in my brain before I even arrived. The risotto was a little soupy, but the flavor was SO good. The corn came through and it went so well with the scallops. The tomatoes were quite over salted, but as long as I didn't eat them alone, it was alright. The scallops were perfectly cooked and I felt like the portion was appropriately sized for the dish, even though there were only 4. My server really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was busy but the booths looked like they could be cozy. The prices were on the higher end. But for a special occasion, it was worth it. I really wished I'd had room for dessert. I will surely go back the next time I am in town.

This was great for them to do. I ordered the mini western burger and my wife and her mom ordered the mini fish and chips. My burger did not taste like it had any bbq sauce on it. Luckily I ordered a side of bbq so I was able to support the lack of sauce on the burger. The buns didn't taste toasted. It was good otherwise. The mini fish and chips were good but fries are hard with a to-go order and so they were very soggy. My M-in-L was happy so that's all that mattered. Kudos to the staff for having our food ready when we arrived.

I had heard about this place from a friend, who is originally from the south, so when he was raving about it, I figured it was good. The place is a vibey dive. It has some cool art on the wall that is meant to do just that. They care much less about what you think of the place and way more about how good the food is! The gentlemen who run the place do a really nice job and got our food out to us really quick. They have tons of different options, including some really good hush puppies, some next level chicken and some really good pie desserts. Get there early because, as we found, they do run out of some of the pies. The chicken is masterful! From our time in the south, we learned that you shouldn't have to put anything on your chicken. Here....you don't have to put anything on the chicken! It's juicy, salty, southern chicken at its best. Paired with hush puppies and some fries, this makes you want more and want it now. The ribs were another must have. They were absolutely delicious! Falling off the bone and saucy to boot! Go here. Go early. Go chicken!

I had lunch and boba here for the first time today, and I'd definitely recommend it! Our server was…read moresuper friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered the Vegetable Delight (stir-fry), Chicken Ho Fen, and Popcorn Chicken. Everything was delicious, and there was more than enough food to feed three people. For drinks, we got the Strawberry Matcha (without the foam), Oolong Black Tea with Sea Salt Foam, and Okinawa Milk Tea. Even after choosing "less sugar," the drinks were still a bit too sweet for my taste. The boba was also a little too cold and firm, which is why I'm docking one star. Next time, I'd probably order them with no sugar and give the boba another try. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and would definitely come back!

The beer was ice cold and really good. We started with the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer, and…read morethat was probably my favorite part of the meal. I'd definitely order it again. I got the Pint Burger, and honestly, I was a little disappointed. For a place that's known for burgers, I was surprised they use frozen patties. They also don't ask how you want it cooked, and I thought it was a little bland for the price. The sweet potato fries were really good though, especially dipped in BBQ sauce like our server recommended. My husband got the chicken quesadilla, and he said it was really good. It came with a different kind of sour cream that he really liked. We'd probably come back, but next time I'd order something different instead of the burger.
