Another great experience. Chris is a phenomenal waiter. As always the food was amazing and they weren't too busy during the lunch hour.

Excellent lunch service. Has a big menu. Mushroom risotto was really good. Delicious BLT. Fun cozy building and ambiance.

Quality of drink and food is definitely compromised on game days. Server very rushed. Not a pleasant experience at all.

We started with chips and queso. The chips were blue corn. The queso was delicious. I had the light portion of the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken was very flavorful and the mashed potatoes were wonderful. My daughter got the pot pie that was different. Flaky crust but the inside was thicker with gravy. My sister enjoyed the spicy chickpea taco salad. Our server was attentive and friendly.

.We enjoyed a nice dinner before heading to a basketball game. My salmon entree with a mushroom risotto and blistered fresh green beans was just what I needed before heading out into the cold evening. My companion ordered the duck breast and mentioned that it was a little dry. The service was attentive and nice. The glass of red house wine was a bit disappointing with way too much unwelcome residue, though. Otherwise, it was a great spot to check out and I was pleased with the overall value.

Very good food and good service has been my experience both times I have eaten there. Burgers very good and meatloaf was excellent. Love the atmosphere and pricing as well. May go there again tonight. Yep I am

This was our second time here. First time was great. Second not so good. Didn't have my beer or his cocktail that were on the menu. We ordered a flight and they substituted the Crown XR for REGULAR crown. The waitress and manager had no clue what was going on. My cocktail didn't taste good so we canceled our food order of which we were very excited about. Paid for my bad cocktail and wrong flight and got out of there.

Fantastic food and great ambiance!For appetizers, we had guacamole and chips. We requested no spice and they obliged. We also had meatballs in bbq sauce and chives with a gorgonzola mac and cheese, soo good! I had the pulled pork, mushroom quesadilla with a white cheese and pimento cheese, with sides of salsa, sour cream.Hubby had blackened shrimp with cheesy grits in a creole sauce that he loved. His plate was clean! ?Our friend said you can't go wrong with any of the dishes with pulled pork or roast beef. The roast beef sliders sound amazing!

It was a really nice place. Reasonably priced & great service. We both got the Porterhouse Pork Chop w/ Fig & Port Reduction (sauce was in a separate dish) grilled w/ Carrots & Truffle Oil Mashed Potatoes. Nice portions. $20/plate. We will definitely be going back.

I have eaten at Blackbird a couple of times a month and overall like the food and service and wait staff was always excellent. two nights ago my wife daughter and I were setting on the back patio. There are 11 tables back there and we were to only ones there. just before our food got there someone came out and started moving tables around then brought a group of 8-10 people and sit them next to us so close we had to move our chairs to let them in (Remember there are 10 empty tables some already sit up for large groups. We could not even talk to each other because of the noise and of course moved to a different area. I asked my waiter if it was someone new that did that and he said no it was the manager. No one said I'm sorry you had to move, we made a mistake nothing. The next morning I sent a email asking why and no response. we have been going there for the past 8 years it is apparent that when they make a mistake they don't care.
Enjoyed ou utep game and I had great sercice and great food! The pretzel bites are to die for!

Great food and atmosphere. Wait staff was spot on and very friendly. I had the light portion of grilled chicken with mushroom risotto. Perfect portion amount for lunch and prepared to perfection.

Has some great food choices and good atmosphere. The tater kegs (appetizer) are delicious. The gravy on the brunch poutine was a little too salty for me, as if I got the last scrape in the pan or something, but overall nice place to come on campus corner.

I rarely post reviews on yelp. I had too while I was eating this meal. I went to the bar on a slow Wednesday night. I had a beer and asked the bartender Halla to order for me. The cheese curds were amazing and the burger even better. I highly recommend this restaurant. That's all I got. Back to the IPA and amazing burger.

Salmon was good, grits was ok. Environment was awesome!Parking: Parking across the street was easy for the campus corner area.
