So, over the years I've not enjoyed bee dubs as much as I have in the past. SO, I was hesitant coming here for dinner last night. But, we wanted to dine out and this place it was.
Walking in, there wasn't a system in place for getting seated, and we couldn't find a hostess. I joined the waitlist via Yelp, thinking that would somehow reserve a spot in line since there were other parties ahead of us waiting for a table.
After about 5 minutes, I saw a gal, who I also think was a server doubling as a hostess. I approached her after she seated the family ahead of us and let her know that my date and I were waiting for a table for two and had been here for a few minutes. I also informed her that I had joined the waitlist via yelp to let them know I was here, so there wasn't any confusion.
The poor hostess/server gal was kind of frazzled trying to do double duty, and rightfully so. I I get it. She was clearly overwhelmed and probably could have used help. Maybe their understaffed, on a Saturday night? I have no clue. Anyway, she was kind of short with me and told me they don't take reservations (DUH, its Buffalo Wild Wings? LOL) and that they they don't even have the Yelp app open to see any sort of folks on the wait list anyway. Ugh, fine sassy pants, can I get seated or are we going to stand here and have a pissing contest about why I can't seem to figure out how to get a table in your fine dining establishment for some classy wings tossed in sauce for an obnoxious amount of money that's way over priced and not worth half of what you charge?! But, I digress.
Anyway, she said since it was 2 of us, we could seat ourselves at the bar, which we did. We get to the bar and had to move since a party of three needed the chairs that we were sitting in. Fine, we went to the end of the bar and had the corner slot which was fine, since we could have a bit more privacy.
The menus are electronic and was easy to navigate on our phones. Fortunately, the bartender (her name was Amy, the best name out there) and she really made up from the poor hostess/waitress who was having a hard time. She was super helpful, friendly and made the experience so much better then our initial contact.
We got onion rings as an appetizer and it was a lot of food. We were starving! Bartender Amy was fabulous, and we ended up both getting boneless wings with different sauces for our dinners. We tried a few new sauces that they have on the market, and some were good, some were not.
Overall, a SOLID 3 stars, and the bartender saved the day. As you know, Bee dubbs isn't what it used to be, and has become known as over priced chicken and slow service. I would dine at this location again, especially since the one near my house is the worst location in the world and then some. Also, please check the hours before dining in as I believe they quit serving booze at 9:30 due to the pandemic.
Hopefully they get their act together soon, but thank you for a good time bartender Amy!
