Andrea everyday service and welcoming attitude has earned her a nomination on The Faces of Rapid City Community webpage. She always goes above and beyond, she remembers your drink, your order (if your a regular), and I have never seen her in a bad mood. She is always positive and she works very hard. The next time your in Buffalo Wild Wings make sure to ask for Andrea your dining experience will be amazing and make sure to give her a HUGE TIP 🙂 !!!!!
