The burrito was even more excellent. The gentleman who made the food custom for me, was kind and polite and respectful. I will be back once a week for the same. GO eat here.

“My two Christian brothers and I come here at least twice a month and we have been for about a year is a small
The first Few times we had a server that was not a happy person and then we got to know Neiby As a server and we make sure we sit in her area
She is the friendliest nicest, and best server that I think anywhere that I eat
Your value menu is what started us coming here, but we don’t always order on that. We are glad you have it raised your prices and that you have kept Neiby On the payroll
We are glad she’s workinghere for our breakfast
We asked her how we can give her an A+ grade or five star rating

Thank you for the opportunity I will try to do a good review on yelp and others also“

“Dine in, Saturday night.

No one at front desk. Sat ourselves, after 15 minutes with no one saying anything, eventually an employee moved us to another section because this area was closed? I was near other customers.

In new area, no one comes over. I’ve now been here for 20 minutes with no server acknowledging me.

Move to the bar. Sarah, the bartender, was super helpful. There clearly aren’t enough employees, as everyone had long wait times.

Eventually ordered food. I ordered MILD wings. 10 wings came out. I suffered through 3 and thought that they must have changed their recipe (I haven’t been in a few years). After 3 wings I couldn’t eat anymore, they were too spicy. I then noticed a sticker on the wings tray and the recipe, that said WILD. I ask Sarah and it turns out B Dubs has wings called WILD and MILD, with drastically different spiciness levels. She promptly removed my wings order from my tab. It turns out WILD is the second hottest wings they sell.

I’m sure this mistake has to happen, franchise wide, numerous times per day. Dear Mr. Buffalo, please consider renaming your WILD wings to ‘insane’, ‘crazy’, ‘extreme’, just anything that doesn’t rhyme with MILD.

Luckily, Sarah (bartender) and the great reverse happy hour made up for the seating and spicy issues. I’ll be back, but I hope they clearly denote “closed” sections in the restaurant in the future.“
