although i am sure it has been thoroughly discussed on here, I didnt see anything directly about it.
First, my review. The interior was nice and still casual. Good amount of music. It didnt block conversation but was enough to help me relax. Started with the blue cheese chips. Homemade kettle chips topped with a blue cheese cream sauce, green onions, and blue cheese crumbles. These were fantastic. My first concern was that the blue cheese would be too strong, but it was nice. I had the byronz sandwich which was serve with cole slaw. The byronz is ham, salami, lettuce, tomato, "combo" sauce, black olive, and 2 types of cheese on seven grain bread. It was very good. Served warm and toasty and reasonably priced (8 and change) as compared to their other entrees (12-25). My GF had a cup of shrimp and corn soup which was very good and a chicken caeser salad. I was impressed by the portion size of the salad, but not by the flavor. It was a solid caeser salad but not something I would go out of my way to order. The bill came to 30 dollars and the service was fine. I overheard someone say they have dollar wine until 6 tonight which was a surprise considering how nice the interior was. I would definitely go back.
What is yalls experience at this place? Any of their entrees stand out or should you stick with the sandwiches?

Like it. Blue Cheese chips are a great start with a cocktail. Have liked the dishes I've tried including the baked pasta and the pot roast.

just ate there for the first time today and had what I consider to be one of the best burgers I've ever had....the bread is amazing. Although I asked for it to be cooked to medium, it was probably a little closer to well, but still juicy (although almost to the line of being dry). The slaw was pretty bland and tasteless. All-in-all that burger was pretty damn great. IMO.

the soup was really good, but I won't order that salad again. I'm disappointed we didn't know about the dollar wine.

I liked the cole slaw because it wasnt super tangy. I guess I am not a good judge because I usually dont pick cole slaw over other sides.

Just giving you the pros & cons about my burger. It was probably a little overcooked, but was still juicy, just probably not as much as it should have been. The flavor was outstanding.

I'm not sure what the slaw had to do with my response about the burger though....it was bland and tasteless.

Love this place, especially considering their prices.

I agree, the pot roast is probably the best i've ever had in a restaurant.

I also really enjoyed their cassoulet and their fish & chips (not sure if still available).

Ate here for lunch today. I liked it, wife LOVED it. I think this place is definitely geared more towards the ladies. App was great, Baked feta in tomato soup with crustinis. Wife had the turkey avocado sandwich, I had the burger. We got both the sweet potato fries and the regular fries.

I have heard lots of great things on TD about this place and about this burger. I was pleased with the burger, but my wife's sandwich was actually better. The bread was great, but the burger was a bit on the small side for my taste. I would get it again for a lunch, but not in my top 5 for BR. The sweet potato fries were rockin, and the regular fries were good too.
The runner brought the wrong food to our table, but this mistake was fixed quickly. Overall, service was... I'll say adequate. The girl was very nice, but you could tell she was pretty new.

Wife and I are looking forward to going back soon and trying some dinner entrees. 100% percent worth trying this place!

They have great sandwiches but I don't know if I've eaten a regular entree. My lady likes this place a lot.

+1
Best pot roast I've had in a long time. I've only been there for lunch, but I'll definitely be going back soon for the pot roast.

This is at least the 7th person raving about the pot roast. Who said it was frozen? They either need to get banned for lying or tell us what brand to look for in the freezer section.
