Driving by this place, week after week and hearing so many positive things about this place, my wife and I rolled into Big Dogs with pretty high hopes. It just seems like the kind of place that you can roll up your sleeves and dig into some great food, maybe throw $20 into a video poker machine and relax with some friends over a few pints.
However, the bar staff was ridiculously rude and greedy. There was one bartender for forty or so guests around a massive bar. Every time a manager was called to the bar to answer some complaint about service or food or both, they would ask her if she needed help. She would look around the bar and say "nah its not so bad" and then continue to give terrible service.
I ordered some type of brat-burger sandwich creation that I thought was going to save the experience, but it turned out to be a hotdog pretending to be a brat. At least they did have a fresh pretzel roll to hide the hotdog. This place seems like it could be awesome or has been awesome, but I just missed it completely. The twice fried or twice dipped wings were incredible, by the way!
