After three years of ordering takeout from Wing Factory, my fiancé and I decided to take some friends here to grab a quick meal on a Sunday afternoon. We've had some not-so-good experiences in the past (wrong sauces on wings, wings w/ bone instead of boneless, entirely wrong order, etc.). We've, nonetheless, remained committed customers. Plus, it's the closest wing spot to our home.
The five of us decided to eat outside. We kindly asked the waitress if she could turn the fan on outside. The fan, however, was broke.
We ordered our food, and I decided to try something different. I ordered the "Steak n' Cheese". The sandwich was a bit dry, so I asked my waitress (when she finally returned) for some mayonnaise. She proceeds to tell me that the establishment, that resides less than 75 feet away from Publix, was out of Mayo and that they've been out of it for awhile.
Everyone else had their gripes. One person's bone-in wings were too soggy and undercooked. Another person was disappointed at the five fries they received after having to pay a $1 up-charge to add celery and carrot sticks to their meal. The reason she had so little fries, according to our waitress, was because she paid to add celery and carrot... (Right, someone make it make sense!)
These unpleasant circumstances were only amplified by our waitresses inattentive and extremely long breaks between check-ins. We went our entire sitting without any refills. We had to ask for cutlery and straws. And we were met with a "well that's how it is" attitude whenever we pointed out discrepancies.
I'm deeply disappointed in the restaurant's mediocre service and overall unpreparedness.
On it's best days, the wings here are pretty good. But when they're off, they're really off and it shows. Probably will only ever order take-out again. At least, then, I can reserve my frustrations in private.
