Been to Benchwarmers more times than I can count. My husband played softball for them, we live in Ankeny so it's a well-known place for friends food and fun. Stopped for a quick bite while my son was at basketball practice. It happen to be $.75 wing night, which is great! We sat at the bar, as we regularly do, And it took several minutes for us to be acknowledged. Ordered drinks and requested a menu, the drinks were brought promptly. We ended up having to flag down Wait staff, to ask for a menu. We decided to keep it simple and just ordered a side of fries with wings. It was not very busy, less than half filled. Monday night football was on every screen, we asked for one TV to show the baseball game. This never happened during the entire 45 minutes we were there. 40 minutes into our visit we received our food. We ate one wing each, and the fries were cold, she offered to get us a new order of fries but we didn't have time. We promptly asked for our check and to go boxes since we had to pick up our son from basketball. The fries were taken off of our bill thankfully. We asked for lids for the sauces, twice Before they were brought. This entire visit was very discouraging, we loved benchwarmers as it was in the past, the new staff is less than adequate. Changes need to be made ASAP otherwise I don't hold a lot of hope for Bench!
