Hilarious. Â
I made a call for pickup. Â The girl on the line was very short and just short of rude. Â It seemed like she didnt want the business. Â Seems easy enough, they dont even have to serve it or clean up after, just put it in box for pickup. Â So, after much trying, I got the order in and we went to pick it up. Â
We waited for service and watched our bag of food just sit there the whole time. Â Eventually, the girl shows up and rings up the order. Â We ask if there was blue cheese or ranch sauces, she says, "I think I put it in there". Â She didnt look too confident. Â So, she assured us she'd get us some in a sec. Â After having help running the credit card, she goes, "Y'all all set?" Â - "just waitn on the blue cheese and ranch" - "oh yeah, I forgot"...
She only put ranch in there, btw.
My buddy put it on his card and signed for a tip. Â She says, "that's my first tip of the night"
....You dont say
and it runs about a buck a wing. Â they were good, but that's friggin expensive.
I have been here numerous times with my group of friends, we always go hoping that the service gets better and it never happens. During the summer time we enjoy the patio but the service never gets better. The service is really bad. I have NEVER had a good server there.
Last night we were celebrating a friend's birthday and had at least a dozen people between two tables. (I am a former server of a bar & grille type restaurant so I understand she got slammed). Not only did I wait over 20 minutes for my Dr. Pepper but she took one table's order and neglected the second. When asked when she would take our order she acted as if she didn't know we all were together (since people randomly float between two tables). After waiting an hour for our food her manager decided to "help" her out and take TWO people's order (they were finished with their meal before out food even came out). After complaining THREE different occasions to different managers, bartenders, ect. The manager came over to us stating out "food" was in the window. Another 15/20 minutes later our food arrived. This was after part of the group had to leave because it was too late for their child to be out. I didn't even get to eat my food because my son had to go to sleep. the entire group arrived at 6:30/7 and we were not served our food till 8:30pm.
AT NO POINT IN TIME DID OUT WAITRESS SAY ANYTHING ABOUT APOLOGIZING FOR THE WAIT OR ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT OUT FOOD. IN FACT SHE AVOIDED OUT TABLE.
Being a former server I understand that serving that many people is time consuming to prepare that many orders of wings. However the manager did nothing to assist our waitress and our waitress didn't apologize.
I NEVER GO TO CHIEF'S BY CHOICE. I ONLY GO BECAUSE OUR FRIENDS LIKE THE FOOD. The food in comparison to other wing places is alright at best...
This used to be our FAVORITE place to get chicken wings every week!! Â It isn't cheap but was well worth the price. Â The last couple of times we got our wings to go the wings were off in flavor like the sauce was not mixed properly. The last time we got 24 wings, we couldn't eat them as the sauce had a sour taste. (not sour as in bad, but it seemed like one of the ingredients that tasted sour was overused). Â I even emailed them to let them know our experience with no response. Â I understand that sometimes things are perfect but to get no response from management is unacceptable. Â We will never eat here again!!
Review Source:To put in bluntly this place is crap. Went there in late 2010 while visiting, now a resident. We dined there (boyfriend and I) on a Friday night, big mistake. We're from Chicago understand the "need to be seen" mentality when dining out, wow this place is perfect for that if you're a college student, cougar, or an alcoholic. Horrible wings, over cooked, over salted, just crap. Got a spinach dip that tasted very similar to the tostito's canned crap. Service wasn't horrible but definitely not great, inappropriate clothing and very very laid back. Will not return.
Side note: at the top where they list the "amenities" of the restaurant it says Good for Dancing: No, HA they have a DJ and a dance floor!!!!!
Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday to find the place mostly empty. Â The disinterested hostess seated us next to the cornhole floor, where young children were playing and tossed beanbags onto our table.
After a few minutes, the server arrived and pulled a up chair to the table, banging it into my wife's knee. Â This always annoys me - we're not buddies; you are providing us with service. Â Don't come sit at my table uninvited. Â We asked to be moved to a booth, which he did, and explained at length that he would not be able to serve us because it was someone else's section. Â I don't care. Â He took our drink order and asked if we wanted lemon with our tea, explaining that when customers get unwanted lemon, they just throw it on the floor (so it's that kind of establishment?) Â The table was sticky, and had obviously been cleaned with a dirty rag.
Another server delivered our tea and took our order. Â My wife asked for sweetener, and after a five-minute wait, had to go track someone down to get it. Â The server's response was, "I was trying to put in your order."
We ordered a dozen wings, half original mild and half original hot, with hot chips and a burger. Â The wings arrived in a basket, separated by the chips. Â We had to ask the server which wings were which. Â The "sea salt" on the chips was obviously table salt, which was applied after the wings were added, so the wings got a liberal dose of salt, as well. Â Speaking of the wings, maybe it's a regional thing, but I was expecting buffalo wings, and these are more of a barbecue, featuring a thin, dark red sauce. Â Not bad, just different. Â Everything was cooked perfectly.
Been here twice when traveling through Greenville. Not a bad place to grab a beer and decent wings. Kind of a weird set up inside but the servers are nice from what I've experienced. The wings are decent like I said but not the best I've had and they have good specials on buckets of beer. Never ate anything else from here.
Review Source:I stopped by Chief's last September, but I failed to come up with a review on the spot, because quite frankly I couldn't come up with enough words to put together a decent review. Coming in from out of town, I checked up with a friend, who told me this is where she hangs out for the night, so I drove down and met up.
So let's rate Chief's on its wings and its "firewater." Since I came from out of town, I haven't had any food yet, so I thought I would take a few bites of the hot wings that was ordered for the table. First of all, for a place that put wings in its name sake, like BW-3, you would think they must be proud of what they have. Nope. Just standard hot wings, no fancy naming sauce, no creative looks or taste, and it took 25 minutes for heating up 12 wings, and another 10 minutes to order it, which moves us into second topic. The wings wasn't bad, your standard bar variety wings, wished we had ordered something else, but then again, perhaps not.
The drinks here are plenty, if you can get one. When I visited, it was mainly female bartenders (three) handling the crowd. If you know any of the girls, or trying to hit on them, you will definitely get the attention you needed; otherwise, be expecting to look them right in the eyes and be ignored.
As for the crowd that gathered here, I can see that it's going to be quite different time after time. Sometimes you get the club crowd, sometimes you get the line-dancing crowd, and I assume during these few weeks, more sports fans will frequent this place, since it is an sports bar after all.
Overall, it's a decent place, wish it was more than what I was led to expect, and perhaps next time I visit my dear friend we will stop by one of the other places instead.

Tanning bed tan....check
Age inappropriate clothing...check
Ink barely dry on the divorce papers...check
This has to be the checklist Chief's patrons follow to get ready for a night out...and the smell of desperation in this place is stronger than the hot sauce...
Everyone seems to be there looking for someone else...and I didn't get the feeling the ladies were searching for meaningful relationships, long walks on the beach, and stimulating conversation...
And I don't think they are there for the wings either...
We decided to drag our asses there to see what the big brick bar was about...first thing that made us chuckle was the electronic sign out front encouraging us to bring the family for dinner...huh?  I don't know maybe Chief's has some appeal to the under six set that I just don't see...because jalapeño poppers and chicken wings are what every kid wants for dinner???
Once inside the place is definitely large...but we were seated in an area that overlooked the parking area and seemed to be its own climate zone...and that was tropical...
Our server was good...she seemed to anticipate that we needed to keep the beer flowing for this freak show...we ate...nothing special on that front, I had some poppers which were good for frozen jalapeño poppers that were deep fried...and my husband had a chicken sandwich...not much to speak of there...their french fries reminded us of ore-ida crinkle cuts...
Around seven p.m. a scantily clad what we hope was an eighteen year old girl stops by and asks us if we would like to play trivia...after wondering if it was legal for us to look at her... we say, "Sure, we this might actually be fun"...we get into the spirit of it too...asking each other the answers and using our minds together...because isn't that what team trivia is for??? Â Nope, at Chief's trivia is all about using your internet phone...
But the main event has not started yet...we notice the place is starting to fill up...with women...middle aged, scantily clad...Moms...and close to nine o'clock what must have been the mating call sounded..."IT'S ELECTRIC"...as in the electric slide... the women are flocking to the floor to line dance... as DJ welcomes us to the dance party...(the dance party is all your favorite late eighties and mid-nineties radio hits badly mixed and played very loudly)...Each to their own here, I know I certainly can't cut a rug much less line dance in sync with another creature so I hope that if for some reason I end up as a middle-aged woman on the prowl I have enough courage to get out there and shake it....
Now surprisingly we are still here at this point in the evening...why I am not completely sure...but the moment of actual FAIL came in dealing with what Chief's tries to call restrooms...Now two stalls for women is just a joke...especially when you have drunk women...the bathroom line actually snaked out around the corner into the dining/club area...and I think my husband actually saw a girl in the guys bathroom "because the line was shorter"...okay...so she had to go...whatever..
We decided we had enough when it became apparent I was going to spend twenty minutes in line for the bathroom
Overall Chiefs is an exercise in bladder control with mediocre food...but lots of people sure love it...so I keep in mind that lots of people loved shag carpeting too...so keep on shaking it Moms you do it well...
