They just closed this restaurant so this review is inconsequential, but it was the evening before their closing date and the staff could have cared less about anything. The waitress took our dinner order, we sat for almost an hour then we finally went to the kitchen to inquire. The waitress didn't even put our order in. We walked out, hungry and extremely disappointed. Thanks for the memories Blackies, way to go out on a high note!

Solid lunch location with good burgers.

Discovered this excellent food joint during times between Amtrak trains. It is very close to the train station and well worth the short walk. Amazing food in a comfortable atmosphere. We ate out on the outdoor porch on a beautiful afternoon.The burgers are as delicious as the menu states (they use choice meats). While the fish and chips were cooked just right - crispy outside and flaky inside.You'll enjoy the city ambiance in the courtyard surrounded by greenery - a nice break in downtown!

Food was much better on my previous experiences with this restaurant. It used to be one of my favorite lunch locations when I worked nearby. Was disappointed with this visit, food wasn't as good, menu had changed, and waitstaff was slow. Busboy and manager were spot on though. I caught the managers eye to put our order in when we'd been sitting in an empty restaurant for over 10 minutes with no server in sight and he got the entire order in one table touch without writing anything down. Overall impression? Could have been better, could have been worse.
