I have been a fan of the BW3 franchise for years. I travel a lot and usually find them to have good hot wings, I like the quiz gaming available to keep me company when I am on the road alone. Except for the store in Crawfordsville, Indiana. I have been a customer of theirs' since it opened several years ago. This particular location just can't seem to get their stuff together. I have found hair in my food on two occasions, cold chicken, poor service, wrong orders, etc. etc. My last encounter was that I sat and waited to be even waited on for almost 10 minutes. as i was getting up to leave the server came to me and the 1st words out of his mouth were, "Before we get started here, I need to see your I.D." I showed him my I.D. and I then asked what had taken so long for anybody to wait on me. He advised that he had been in the back changing a keg and it had taken him a while. I advised him that i had already waited too long and was leaving. As i was leaving, I asked to speak to the manager. The manager came out and i explained what had happened and her response to me was Not sorry for your wait, not I apologize, nothing. Just a smart condescending toned "Sorry he had to change a keg". So this is it for me and this store and BW'3.

One of two places you can go to enjoy watching televised games while having good food and alcohol. This is one of the smallest Bdubs I've ever been to but Crawfordsville is a small town. They have the biggest entertainment setup but it all comes at price. Big game coming up? Better get there early or you'll be hard pressed to get a seat, especially for the bar area. Service is so-so, but they get the job done; although, if you see the place packed expect 20 mins for you food to show. The food is decent, and I wouldnt go anywhere else for wings in Cville. And I do hate to say it but they do have the largest selection of beers on tap in town; however, the prices for said beers are a little steep. Be prepared to pay $20+ for your meal and drinks.

The food was good, but the service at the Cravfordsville IN store was absolutely horrible. The first visit, our waitress spent more time flirting with two rednecks at a nearby table and outside smoking then she ever spent checking on our table. The second visit was only slightly better. Too many other places to visit and eat than to put up with crap like this, get rid of the bums and hire people who want to work.

Well, the past three people that have rated this business haven't been there for a while. Where do you go when you want wings? B-Dubs? The place is ALWAYS packed on Thursday. Great atmosphere for games! Price you can't beat for those yummy little boneless with honey bbq! And Ethan, honey, if you want a beer from a microbrew, you shouldn't have moved to Crawfordsville. :P

Food is average, waitresses are horrible and don't want to do anything for you, especially in the bar area. We have gotten poor service here several times and the wait for food is always a long time. Managers so-so, not all that concerned with customers, but watching lots of tv and yapping to the staff. One of the worst BWW I've been to.

So i went there over Thanksgiving weekend and they were out of ICE. And they had been out for a while. WTF kind of 3rd rate cheap crap is that? They are right across the street from a Walmart, how about having a host drive over and BUY some ice so they aren't serving warm sodas and water? Pathetic.

The food here is good. I had never had a bad wait time for my meal. Not being a sports fan it is annoying have to listen to people scream at the games but that is to be expected here.

The BWWs in C-ville has made some wonderfully welcome strides. The bar manager there has taken it upon himself to gather a respectable collection of local craft brews on tap, including (currently) Flat 12's excellent Half-Cycle IPA. This gives it, by far, the best beer selection in Montgomery County, and that alone might make it the best bar in town ... if only it was walking distance from, well, anything. The one lamentable aspect of the beer selection, however, is that you still have to do a fair bit of work just to take advantage of it. The servers are woefully and persistently ignorant of the offerings -- and even if you know what they have, and even if you know that they have it, and even if you order it by name (yes, really!), there's still a decent chance that you won't get it. Allow me to explain: Say, for example, that you want "Upland Brewing Company's Dragonfly IPA". Don't ask if they have any "IPAs" ... your server will say that they don't. Don't ask if they have anything from "Upland Brewing Company" ... the answer to that is "no" as well. The same goes if you ask for anything "local", anything "made in Indiana", or even "anything good". Basically, if you don't say the magic word, "Dragonfly", you won't get it. And even that depends on the server. You see, each server seems to have her very own 'cheat sheet' in her order book. Thus, if your server knows the beer as "Upland" rather than as "Dragonfly", the secret password is "Upland" ... but again, only for that individual server -- who, incidentally, wouldn't likely know if the "Upland" they have is the "IPA" or the "wheat". You see, "IPA" might refer to Flat 12's Half-Cycle ... or it might even refer to the Sierra Nevada, since, after all, it has the words "Pale Ale" in it. So, to make a long story short, if you want to get the good beer that the management has worked so hard to acquire, tell your server you need a minute and walk up to the bar yourself. Despite these recent improvements to the beer selection -- and the servers' ignorance of this, notwithstanding -- there's still enough corporate hellishness to make BWWs a source of serious concern for our future. The good management at B-dubs must be shackled with countless corporate regulations, from the server's obligatory "Welcome to B-dubs/We sell Pepsi products"-welcome, to the menu itself, which is so littered with insets and cutouts and inviting pictures of placed-products and icons and logos of its corporate partners that it can be hard to figure out what they actually have. Even the beer selection is tightly controlled by what Corporate and its distributor-partner allows, meaning that the admirable craft beers can be hard to find among the throngs of tasteless and characterless wheats and lagers from the more-familiar, nationwide brands. But maybe the most intense cacophony arises from the constant audiovisual stimulation that greets you from absolutely every corner of this cavernous space. There are more TVs and screens in front of you, around you, above you, even ON YOUR TABLE, that it can be hard to find the food. Yes, B-dubs has managed to acquire some quality stuff. But you have to work hard to find it.

I am a Bdubs guy. I had my wedding rehearsal dinner at one. I used to eat at one multiple times a week. This Bdubs is one of a select few sit down restaurants in crawfordsville. Many locals eat here despite the quality and service. With that said. If you are passing through, in town visiting family, or attending a sports event, I would suggest not wasting time. Of the dozen times that I have forgotten how worthless this location is and ate here, I have never went away feeling great. If it has two tables or it is packed the kitchen will not get you food to you within 20 minutes. Your wings will never be fully coated with sauce. And your server may never refill your cup or come close for you to ask for more sauce. Do not have a party over 8. They will not make room for you. All in all it is poorly managed and it is a black eye on the franchise.

Got there at 11am, wasn't busy at all; I was the only person at the bar besides one other. I ordered a Mediterranean Salad with no blue cheese and it took 35 minutes until I got it. Salad had blue cheese on it, the bartender saw me picking all the blue cheese off and asked if he wanted me to have them make a new one. I said no, I don't have time to wait another 35 minutes for a salad. He said, oh well sorry bout all that and walked away. Felt like I should have at least got 10% off bill or a free coke or something. Second time they have messed up my order in a month. Sucks because I like bw3 just not this one...

well this place has a lot of negative reviews but I had a positive experience. Sat at the bar. Service was prompt and pleasant. They must have made some changes. It was consistent with other bw3 's.

When the waitress finally showed up, she asked what I wanted to drink. I asked for a menu. She never came back so I left. Ate at Applebees down the road. Service was perfect there.

The service is slow and horrible! I ordered a six count traditional and it took almost half an hour and the restaurant wasn't really busy. There were 10 of us and they had all the orders mixed up and some were wrong. The manager was double checking the order ticket in front of us too, which was a bit unprofessional. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because once I got my food it was good and while the waitress was slow she was apologetic and sweet.

I have ventured back to BWW in Crawfordsville twice since my last review. They have improved the wait times. The wings are good. Be careful what time of day you go as you still may hit them at a time where you may have to wait for your food longer than 25 min.

Matt M.
It sucks that this is your only option for wings. A couple of the sauces are pretty good but the wings themselves are shit. The service has always been shit. You get an extra star, despite my bitching about service, because you make cherry Cokes for me.
