BA is the absolute best! Service is always amazing! I feel like I make friends with every server I get. The food is bomb and the location and atmosphere for a south ender can’t be beat.

Excellent food and atmosphere! Every staff member we encountered was super friendly, and the food was fantastic! Be pleasantly forewarned, though: if you get the Cobb salad, you won’t be prepared for how giant it is! A friend called it a “two-day salad,” which is an apt description. This is absolutely a must-stop spot if you’re in the area, especially before a show at the Iroquois Amphitheater.

Let’s just say we were impressed. First time hosting our work Christmas party at this location and we were beyond pleased. The food and atmosphere were great but the service was PHENOMENAL. Kelsey M was amazing. Hosting for 25 people can usually be last luster when it comes to service but not the case with her. She did the job of 4 people and handled it without a skip of a beat. She was impressive. We need more people in the service industry like her. Way to go BA you all have...
