A diner from Seekonk, MA
Sep 12, 2011
I can't even fathom giving this place even a half a star! A few friends of mine and I decided that we were going to a "wing night" and had heard that this place was the best....boy were we misinformed! At first glance the decorating of the place is really cool, there's lots of guitars on the walls and the tables look like they have some really neat stickers or fliers laminated into them. Appearances can be very deceiving. We walked in and were greeted by a less than personable "hostess" who told us to sit anywhere, we chose a booth and ordered our first round while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive, no sooner did we have our drinks and the menus did our "sunshiny hostess" return to tell us that we needed to move because the booths were for parties of 4 or more. Not a big deal. It was the Pats first game of the season and I'm sure they were expecting a crowd. We moved over to a smaller table and ordered our appetizer while we waited for our other friend to arrive.....and wait we did. At first it didn't seem so bad when the waitress as soon as our other friend and asked her what she wanted to drink...15 mins later her drink arrived, but no appetizer. Please note this was not any odd concoction...it was a pumpkin beer with cinnamon and it was not a full house in the place either.
Needless to say we ordered our wings and were barely waited on...until we were asked if we wanted to box up the remainder of our meals, this is when our non present waitress kept asking us if we wanted our check. umm no...we were there for the wings, the beer and the game...which was still on. she explained to us that the tables were for people who were dining and that we'd have to move to the bar if we wanted to stay. My friend asked for the menu and we were told that we could not order any more wings, but we'd be welcome to order anything else off the menu. we asked to talk to the manager...and we did. he told us that there were other people waiting for tables and then asked us if we cared or not that he wouldn't be making money because we decided to sit at the table and drink and that there were others waiting for tables. He then proceeded to explain how he wasn't making money off the wings...to. which we explained that with a $13-$14 per round table he would be making money as opposed to losing money on the wings. He pointed to the box of our take home stuff and said "so you're done, but you wanna order more food?" we would have ordered more wings...but even he said we couldn't because we were costing him money by sitting there drinking. This got to the point of us paying our bill and leaving only to be followed out by the owner telling us not to come back.
Never in all my days have I been kicked out of a place for being a paying customer...ever! The waitresses were barely around, the drink orders took forever to be filled and when the waitresses did grace us with their presence they were rude at best. Top this all off by the owner asking paying customers to leave so that he could make money on something that he admittedly was taking a hit for anyway and this place will never ever see my business again! If you're looking for good beer, good wings, and a super friendly staff...head over to Doherty's in Pawtucket. If you're looking to be herded like cattle from your table before you've even swallowed your last bite of food then stop by the Boneyard and you won't be disappointed!
