    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.

    I was pleasantly surprised to be able to eat chicken wings as I’m a dedicated Celiac. Very tasty and great customer service.

    The food took a really long time to come out - about 25-30min after we ordered. And our appetizer ended up coming out at the same time as our dinner. Food was decent. Wouldn’t go out of the way to come back, though.
