TUESDAY WINGS AT BOOKERS!!!! lb of wings for $4.99
THEY SMOKE THE WINGS!!!!
They had me at this selling point. So a group of 10 at a table...now before I go on further, this turned out to be one of the worst wing nights we've ever had. It even came to the point we were outside talking about how we will do our next chicken fry for July or August. So for the few of us drinks came, for others they were waiting for quite a bit...meaning 20-25 minutes. So not really starting off with a good experience.
So finally our drinks came and we look over the menu, Everyone was coming to an agreement they were ready to order. Unfortunately we were not attended to for 20 minutes. This caused for one of us to approach the bar to have the bartender send over the waitress. That took another 20 minutes til we got our order taken.
So we gave our orders to the waitress. Keep in mind its 16 orders of wings. There were 2 entree orders, 5 side orders of jalapeno mac and cheese, and an order of fries. Not to bad of an order for the night and drinks.
So by now its coming to an hour and 15 minutes, we are antsy for our food. Our waitress came out to tell us our food is coming and explained that instead of individual plates for the wings, it would be grouped. This meaning wings would be on a platter. She also indicated the wings are not tossed in sauce, individual sauce cups will be given.
So we nod and smile and finally the food starts coming out, they give 3 platters of wings and a platter of various sauces in a cup. For the people who ordered salt and pepper wings, the shakers are in the middle of the table. Salt and pepper the wings themselves....FAIL!!!!! The girl who dropped off the sauces to us didn't even take the time to tell us which sauce was which: Buffalo, Carolina, Kansas City, or Maple Bourbon....FAIL!!!! Don't get me wrong I think we were able to figure the sauces out from sampling.
So as we are eating, we notice that the wings were gone pretty fast. Now out of the 10 of us, 6 of us order 2 lbs of wings. Now don't think we were being petty but the amount of wings we ate in total came up to approx 75 wings. I asked the waitress how many wings usually come with a pound. she advised 8-10 wings. so in my calculation that would be based on 8 wings each 128 pieces. So if "WE ARE COUNTING WINGS" per the manager we are still short 51 wings. As the waitress was about to clear our table, I asked her about the wings and that we may short wings as customer. She asked if we wanted more, but we decided that what ever was brought out to us they can charge, what was not brought, just take it off the bill.
15 minutes later this guy with his ball cap backwards approaches us. He indicated he was the manager, cool, brought to his attention we might short of wings in our order. He gave us the same option for them to bring out the remaining wings or what we would like. We just asked if they could remove the wings that were not brought out. He then turned and may have muttered the f-bomb. I wasn't the only one who heard, but also another person.
So we are sitting at our table, the table hasn't been cleared. We are waiting for our bill. The waitress comes and asks how many orders need to come off the bill. We didn't know what to say as how do you measure a pound out by wings that are already eaten. So we went off by their estimates of wings per order ratio. 8-10. Unfortunately an agreement could not be made of how many orders to be taken off. So essentially it was agree 8 orders of wings to be charged. So the waitress was gonna seperate the bill. The bill came back with us being charged 9 orders. We asked if it was 8 and she said she would make the correction.
Another 20 minutes roll and the manager comes back and asks if we have finished counting wings....seriously ok, yah I can take a joke. But I can't speak for the other people and it came down to 2 guys at our table vs the manager, I was stuck in between. So the manager was saying we wanted him to take off another order of wings. He even said he already taken off half the bill??? Umm lets see 5 bucks times 8 orders....$40...Thats not half the orders we made. Pretty much he indicated to us he will get the bill corrected and have us leave their establishment....Really?
Ok, so yah we were not feeling it so we got the bill which the waitress seperated for us. There were issues with certain orders mixed with other peoples bills...lets just pay and get the hell out.
So after reading this I hope you didn't spend 2 hours and 30 minutes reading this because that was how long it was for our experience with Bookers.
You know whats even funny, before we even went, talked about the all you can eat crab special, sundays $42.95, not no more. 3 of us that were planning on going. Thats approx 126.00 for food, plus drinks and tip not being spent there.
God bless and happy eating....somewhere else!!!
