Buffalo Wild Wings

love BWW. At least they have more sport packages than other places. Great wings as usual!

While Buffalo Wild Wings' food is standard sports bar fare, this review is mainly regarding the service my date and I received on New Year's Day. I do not recall his first name unfortunately but our server has evidently been made a trainer for other servers and after waiting on us, I completely understand why.

I have NEVER seen a service employee in Columbia genuinely care about his/her job but our server clearly does. He wanted to be sure our food was prepared properly and that we were even happy with the presentation because HE felt it should have come out faster and looked better (the food was good FYI). He was concerned with making the restaurant better through customer's honest feedback. He was very friendly and outgoing without being disruptive and we actually enjoyed talking with him. He even made sure to alert us to the weather when we were leaving and cautioned us about being safe. Long story short, he sincerely cared.

On top of everything else, this was New Year's Day, which no server wants to work. He wasn't hungover and dragging like some would expect, and his attitude was great. Ditch the earring and the baseball cap and he'd make a fantastic manager at any restaurant.

Exceptional service. We were even refunded our appetizer because the manager claimed the wait was longer than usual. Would come back anytime!
