“We had the most wonderful experience with Langley’s for our small, intimate wedding reception. The customer service was great from start to finish. The event manager Brian was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail was taken care of, ensuring our day went smoothly. The food was fantastic and we received rave reviews from our guests. The team went above and beyond by setting up our decorations exactly as we envisioned, making the space look beautiful. They were also very accommodating and willing to work with us in case we needed to move our outdoor ceremony indoors, as well. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a place to hold your event.“

“The food was good, about as good as it normally would be, but it took forever for the food to actually make it out of the kitchen. We've been to this BWW many times, and this past Wednesday, June 5, 2024, was probably one of the slowest experiences we have ever had. I think there was maybe one other here that was slower. We will go back because it's the only place to get decent chicken wings, but I wasn't all that happy.“

“Absolutely amazing food, i got the fish and chips but replaced fries with onion rings. I would reccomend this cafe to friends, family etc. The live band was amazing and the drinks were even better. I got a grapefruit martini that was a little too bitter. I didnt even complain about it, but the owner herself saw my face and immediately offered to replace the drink or add to it to my liking. The service was phenominal and the food was just as amazing. Whether you just want a drink or are hungry, its seriously one of the best places in the area.“

“I had their homemade meatloaf. It waa good and sized appropriate for the price. Drink glasses were VERY tiny which made the server work harder than necessary which led to a bit of an attitide (we drink a lot at meals). Very large menu and all appear to be freshly made to order (or close to it). I would recommend this place. Closes at 8pm which seems a bit early as I noticed them turning away a rather group at 745pm.“

“Went here tonight with my fiancé, i wanted to try the viral Nashville Hot Mozz Sticks which came out perfectly cooked and had the right amount of heat. I also got the Southwest Eggrolls, perfecto. He got the Smokehouse combo with Nashville hot chicken crispers, street corn, fries and brisket quesadillas.
The street corn was mushy and cold, disappointing, but the flavor was still good. The fries were cold and blah. Crispers were juicy and flavorful. The highlight was the brisket quesdilla, the brisket was tender and moist with the perfect amount of bbq sauce.
We decided to try a bowl of chili at chilis and it was also disappointing, so much salt and cumin we couldn't keep eating it. Otherwise, we had a good experience and our waitress was attentive.“

“I had the privilege of having excellent service by Megan. She was very pleasant and professional. Her attention to her customers was noticed and exceptional. As the evening progeessed I noticed the manager Dave spending alot of time hovering. At one point he had chastised Megan as a customer had just sat down as she was attending to other customers. Not only was it noticeable but it appeared demoralizing to Megan in front of her customers. Not only were Dave's action's unwarranted but indicative of a hostile work environment. I had inquired about his actions, albeit hearsay, this is common conduct with his subordinates. I was having a fantastic evening until I witnessed Dave's unprofessional actions. It is my understanding that subordinates should be disciplined in private and praised in public. Shame on him. My ratings are 5 stars for Megan and anything less is due to manager Dave.“
