| - I'm shocked at all these bad reviews, because we went the night of the Mayweather-Canelo fight and the food was good, the service was superior and they even had a Pick 'Em contest for the fight which I won first place of a $25 gift card! (Secretly I gloated over picking who would win and when over all the men there.) They called me like 3 days after the fight to tell me, so I guess they went thru all the sheets people turned in and then called. It was a legitimate win anyway cause I know my boxing.
Regardless, we had a waiter named Andy who looked like he had 4 tables assigned to him, and boy! did we have great service from him! Left him a good tip for great service. He was SO on the ball with everything we needed.
By the way, they did pass out some samples of a stuffed mushroom for everyone, too.
We ordered beers, of course, some queso and chips which was ok, and then some really good wings, and we are big wing people at my house so we kinda know our wings. BWW had some good ones.
This place is clean and cute, and the crowd was pretty decent too. You never know how rough the crowd can be with boxing, but this was a nice looking decent crowd from the area alround here. No problems at all, no fights, no scary people--just a nice, clean, decent crowd of family-type men and woman.
We've gone to see another PPV fight at BWW in Tempe which is an older looking building but nice, also.
Maybe they have gotten the place more together since August, 2013, after these previous bad reviews, but I can honestly say we had fantastic service the night of the fight. Boxing crowds can be rowdy, and they had the event so totally organized--even telling everyone at the door that they might have to sit strangers at your table if they got really crowded. I have no idea how many others had a stranger at their table, but we had one guy put at our table to sit with us due to lack of seating and he was a peach of a guy. We didn't care anyway cause we were there for the fight mainly and told them so.
I wouldn't hesitate to go back to the BWW again for the next event. Baseball is coming up, so I plan to use my $25 gift card at one of those PPV games.
This is a really clean, nice place so I really hope they have straightened out any kinks they had before...but it looks like they have to me if you go by the PPV event I attended. We're going back for sure, cause it was a really enjoyable evening.
Update: Again went there for the Pacquiao vs. Rios fight, and the service again was excellent. A little bit slow getting things out of the kitchen but tolerable.
I can say that the wings--which I hate ordering anywhere cause half the time they aren't crispy and half-done--were cooked to perfection. Even the person with me who graduated from the best culinary school in Chicago commented on how good they were.
I just don't get all the complaints during the week. I wish the management would look into this before this place sinks, cause on fight nights the service is really super good.
