All the burgers in the menu are now $15. I ordered one rare. Then I waited, and waited and waited some more. Remember there were only 5 total customers in the place but it took the kitchen over 30 minutes to make a rare burger.
Decided to go back after giving them a couple of months to work the kinks out and update my review accordingly.
The menu is very limited, and not very inspiring.
Food was good. We only waited an hour for our appetizers to come out. We asked the waitor if there was an issue in the kitchen. He said we are aware of the issue. Even though people that came in after us got there food before us.
I wish the new management luck getting this train wreck back on the tracks. I would have left a review on Facebook, but the new management has removed all the past and recent reviews from Facebook, as well as the ability to post reviews. They have also been deleting posts by clients and has even blocked some clients from posting on the Facebook page. Seems like the new management needs a lesson in customers service and public relations. More importantly if they remove the ability of customers to share feedback, they will never be able to fix what is wrong.
So I stopped in one night and there were 3 customers at the bar and one table with 2 customers. Asked for whatever double IPA they had only to find out they had no double IPAs. Very disappointing.
This place has reopened, with new management and new employees. Gone are the old familiar faces behind the bar, the eclectic menu, the excellent beer list and the gothic/wiccan decorations that moved from Which Brew to Black & Blue.
When I walked in the manager, Tara Perruso, made a beeline too me and informed me that I was not welcome there and they did not want my business. Which really seems to reinforce my statement below about the lack of customer service and public relations skills by the new management of the place.
So here is my updated review. I didn't get a chance to see it the food and/or service improved; but the management's customer service and public relations skills still suck. It is a shame that the new management here didn't take the opportunity demonstrate that their food and service improved, so I could provide a more positive update to this review. Tara blew that opportunity, way to go.
When it came out it looked good and was cooked to my liking. Then the disappointment set in because it was served with plain old regular fries, not the shoestring frittes that Black & Blue was known for, and gone is the Blithering Idiot sauce as well. Now replaced with a choice of some chipotle aioli or guacamole. Yes, I said guacamole.
Good food, good drinks, fantastic atmosphere for grown ups wanting something different in the area.
This was my go to place to get nachos and a rare burger in the past. I had already been warned by other former clients that the nachos now suck and to not order them.
This open mic is tolerant to extreme profanity. Modern day poets. The music nite barely re covered. Kudos to the acting host.
Also a small menu not many choices.
Review (8/1/2017):
The burger was served on a larger version of a store bought hamburger roll that did not have the density to actually stay together once the burger was picked up to be eaten. I had to resort to eating my burger with fork and knife due to this sub-par roll. The burger tasted good, but not worth the $15 charged for it.
As a long-time customer of both Which Brew and Black & Blue, I probably won't ever step foot back into Black & Blue. In fact this place is so changed, they should have re-opened with a different name.
Defiantly not going back here again not worth it.
Update (9/28/2017):
Excellent food for carnivores and vegans alike. Great staff and awesome music.
