Our server, Courtney was extremely friendly and attentive to our dining needs. Her food recommendations were exactly what she promised and we left satisfied. The crowd at the bar was fun to hang out with after our meal and we stayed out later than anticipated.
Foods and drinks were spot on as always! They need to do something about the noise level though. Add more acoustic tiles.
We had a wonderful time having drinks at the bar and then moved to a table for the delicious pork belly bites and wings. We will definitely return again soon!
I was disappointed. A reservation for my birthday and we were - 1. made to wait before being sat 2. once sat, no one came over to greet us 3. bartender dropped water but said nothing and walked away. It appeared that the place was understaffed and overwhelmed with an unplanned pop due to the nice weather, but as we continued to sit and wait, not one person apologized for the wait or acknowledged us even being there. And that is why no one even noticed that we got up and left.
I've been to BB for drinks, but this was the first time I came for dinner. There were five of us. At 7:30, they were already out of a liquor in one of their specialty cocktails. For the short rib dinner I ordered, they were out of mashed potatoes. They substituted French fries which were greasy before they covered them in beef gravy. The short rib was delicious. Two friends enjoyed their burgers, but thought the French fries were too greasy. One ordered the mac and cheese which was obviously too dry. He asked for more cheese. They had to bring it twice. He was charges $6. for the extra sauce. Waitress was friendly and did her best. They do not offer separate checks. A 20% gratuity was added for the five of us. I wouldn't go back here again.
Great food, great atmosphere
Mac and cheese was basically over boiled noodles with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled over it and put under a broiler. Long, wait on food.

Went here because a friend of mine is leaving town for a new job and the seating situation wasn't great. We ended up having a lot of people that came by for her standing up around small tables with 2 chairs each.
My partner and I got 2 fish fry entrées and we actually waited less than the expected 45 minute estimate the bartender gave us. However, the tables were so small that our plates barely fit with our drinks on it too. Speaking of drinks, the pinot noir was top notch. Yummy!
But after drinking half a glass of wine, I realized the saddest thing: despite there being ceiling fans in the ceiling, none of them were turned on. I was sweating so hard that I was soaked. Everyone in my group was sweating like crazy. Some air flow or even some A/C would've been nice.
Overall, good food, nice staff, atmosphere could use some work. Would I go again? Yeah.

Took an hour for a sandwich, bartender talked to her friends for 15 minute stretches instead of bartending, even blatantly ignoring another employee trying to find out where some food went which was hilarious honestly. It’s also like $18 for a chicken sandwich not including fries.

I would frequent this building in my college days when it was the "Shadow Lounge". New management has taken the slowly decaying facade and created a new and clean look to this place. Like a freshly shaved neck at the barber shop.
With a fully stocked bar and at the very least a great fish fry (BEER BATTERED!!!!) I can safely recommend this restaurant to others. However, I can not recommend the coleslaw, it was dry and bland but it didn't stop me from eating the deliciousness I enjoyed.
*full disclosure. My son works here, though I don't show bias in my reviews I should be open.

Great drink selection. Food is hit or miss. Don't get the nachos.
