BWW has lost it's appeal as they became more and more corporate and political based (or biased) and pricey.  BWW just blends in with the other national food chains now, and frankly aren't any better or worse, just kinda irrelevant and blah. They look, feel, smell and taste the same.  The customer service is scripted, and feels phony. Like the others. \n\nNothing stands out, unless you like a $20 plate of meh, so so wings and a $6 beer.  They nickel and dime you from there (charge for a little extra sauce, etc.  Not worth the money anymore.  \n\nSticking with local bars, and local or regional restaurants that didn't loose their focus while chasing the dollar.\n\nTo be fair, if someone in the group suggests we go to BWW,  I'll still go and have a good time, but I've had to modify my expectations to do so.  Knowing what the once were as small, strip mall restaurant with a handful of locations hurts my review after the became a standalone (hey look at us, we're just like Chilis, Friday's and Applebee's now). \n\nGood, okay but yet, meh...we can do better. Let's get back to that cool place we felt comfortable in.
