| - My in-laws live near by and like to go to this place every once in a while (MIL likes the Long Islands!) so we met up with them and another family member last night at Buffalo Wings & Rings.
They seated us in a weird spot, really far from all of the other customers which wouldn't be an issue except they kind of forgot we were there. There seemed to be at least three servers on the patio but the service was extremely slow and it was as if our waitress forgot we were there. She spent about fifteen minutes talking to people at another table while we were waiting for drinks and the other half of our order. We never got water, and when my husband asked for a side of ranch she brought it but told us her manager said we'd have to pay fifty cents for it. I don't mean to nit pick... Obviously if we were eating out, fifty cents wasn't really an issue since we were paying for a whole meal but it was so off the wall and ridiculous, that we just said forget it. I always am baffled when businesses "nickel and dime" their customers so they end up feeling so ripped off or peeved that the service and food were forgotten.
Oh yeah, the food. I wish we could forget it. I had the "gyro" which was a pita with about a teaspoon of chopped tomatoes, weird "mystery meat" and that is it. I had fries as my side and asked for ketchup, which was free... so that is a plus, I guess. We passed around some wings but since there were no napkins they weren't really eaten.
My husband's burger made him nauseous and the fried pickles we ordered for the table were way over-salted and we think some other things must have slipped into the fryer (we guessed a jalapeƱo and a stray pepperoni? I hope that was it.)
I hate to be a debbie downer, but this place might consider a total re-haul of management, menu items, and ... yeah. Good luck. I know everyone can have a bad day, I worked in restaurants for years, so I'm sorry if this was just a freak bad day, but this was just awful.
Bottom line: We wish this place was better but it was just so very atrocious. Don't go. Sorry.
