Warning!!! If you go here only get the potato skins!! The food here is of such low quality it's unfathomable. Last time we were here the food was undercooked (chicken) and cold. The bartender forgot everything and we had to ask repeatedly for silverware, napkins, refills, salt, pepper, condiments and for the rest of our order. It's seems like bad management/training is the issue here.

We go here for the potato skins-SO good! Service was quick. Atmosphere is open and bright, they did a good job with the remodel.

My wife and I are in from Fort Carson. I'm originally from the area and I have had BGs before the remodel. My friend joined us for lunch here and the service was not good at all. The waitress was nice but she was nowhere to be found throughout the whole meal. There were only 4 other tables in the whole restaurant and there was another waitress and a hostess on the floor with her. I don't know how she could've been overwhelmed. The food was sub-par. The potato skins used to be huge and not as pricy. But this time around they were small and the skins were burnt. We were going to tell the waitress just so she was aware (we weren't mad, it happens) but she never came to check in until she brought our food and the check. My friend got a chicken Swiss and the chicken was seasoned very well and it was juicy but the toppings were so bland. My wife got a tiny chicken caesar salad that was nearly $20! My wrap was the same way! All 3 of us ate for $80 and for the amount of food we got it was horrible. There are plenty of other options in Cape Girardeau. We will not be returning here.

Solid effort on all items of each item chosen by each individual. Varied menu nearly anyone should be able to find something they like.

I had not been to BG's in years, but I remembered how good the food was. I talked my husband into going on Friday, Feb. 3. It was about 1:00 and the restaurant was not busy. (Now I know why.) We were seated immediately and our drink order was taken soon after that. After placing our order of an appetizer of the pulled pork potato skins and two BG Burgers, one with fries and one with fried house chips, I noticed they seemed to be over-staffed. There were two waitresses taking care of customers and five more sitting and standing around chatting. When our appetizer came, the potatoes were not very warm and the pork was cold. The burgers were fantastic and so hot we had to let them cool a little. The fried house chips looked delicious, but they were barely warm. I mentioned to the waitress that the pork on the potato skins and house chips were cold and asked if this was normal. She said no and apologized and said they would remake the house chips. When the second order came, they were hot, but burnt. It was too pricey for the quality of the food. Probably won't return. By the way, our waitress was not one of those who were loafing. She was good at her job and her name was Abbey M.

This restaurant was great! The food was amazing...you have to try the potato skins!! We ordered the Rueben and pulled pork sandwiches. Both meals were great. Colby was our waiter and he was amazing! He kept us updated with the status of our food and kept our drinks cold and full. Colby kept checking on us to see if we needed anything-he's the epitome of what customer service should look like.

I grew up the cape area B Gs used to be a great place to eat. I just came from there expecting the same great food but wow I am so disappointed who ever owns this place now has definitely ruined the place. The food is absolutely horrible. I would never recommend anyone to eat here. Disgusting food and a disappointing atmosphere...... definitely not as I remember it 0 stars I think they should have a health inspection for real

This is a cute little local place with delicious food and great drinks. I got there early and decided to try their famous potato skins. I see why they are famous. They were so big and filling I am going to have to come back again to try the other menu items. Great staff too

There were multiple things that could have made our experience better. We were the only table in the lounge area last night yet it seemed to take a while to get our drinks and food. The bartender doubled as our server but it didn't seem like the bar area was all that busy. My wife ordered a captain and diet coke however the bartender neglected to mention they didn't have Coke so she got a rum and diet pepsi. Would have been nice to know that so she could have ordered something else. When we finally got our food the fries were cold and the coleslaw left me wondering how fresh it was. We've never had any issues when ordering pickup so that may be what we do from now on.

The young man that was our waiter was so accommodating. He is excellent with his customer service and even thanked us for coming in and dining at BG’s. He is absolutely a great asset to the restaurant.
As always the food was great. Best potato skins ever. It is what they are known for. I was disappointed that some of our favorite menu items have been removed. And also, their recent price increase is a little excessive. We used to go quite often but, now it'll probably only be on Tuesdays for 1/2 off skins day , and maybe only a couple times a year now.

The remodeling looks really good. The lunch portion was large and amazing as always. Service was very fast. We had plenty of time . We weren't rushed to get back to work.

One of my favorite restaurants in Cape. Best potato skins ever! My son likes the skins too which is impressive since he is a picky eater. Service is fast and friendly! Always a place I want to go when in Cape.

Got the Hot Ham and Gouda Sandwich and it was very very good. Friends all enjoyed their meals as well and I even got a sip of the vanilla shake!

Nice restaurant to visit for food, drinks and visit with friends. We had our first potato skins here 40 years ago. Can easily say still very good today. Nice to have a long established business stay successful. Good menu selections
