So I've never been for the Monday dollar hamburgers, can anybody give me some details on it?

Is there a limit on the # of burgers I can order? Can I get takeout? How big are the burgers? Can I get cheese on them? Will it be really busy? What are their beer specials?

Also, I've never been to BBG. Do they have waitresses or do I order at the bar?

sounds like you're looking to beat the system.

"i'll take 19 burgers to-go please? here's a twenty, keep the change."

How big are the burgers? Small but thick
Can I get cheese on them? Yeah, but they charge $.75 for each slice
Will it be really busy? Not if you go early.
What are their beer specials? I think they have $2 draft. Not sure
They have waitresses but you can sit at the bar.

The burgers are pretty small but you can get an many as you want. Cheese cost extra. Can beer for $1.50 and they have the QB1 game setup for MNF. They have waitresses but they are usually pretty slow so i use the bar when its busy.

The service can be bad and some of the waitresses are dumb as rocks.

That is harshly frowned upon and the waitresses will threaten your life. I have seen it happen to some poor sorority girl trying to beat the system.

ETA: thought this was about lakeside bar and grill. Their Monday dollar burgers are 1/4 to 1/2 pound. They use actual ground meat not pre-made pattis too. Give them a try.

I used to go to Brightside two or three times a week for lunch because it is close to my work. The service is fine (my diet coke is brought at the moment I enter the door), the waitresses are friendly and the food was a good value. Unfortunately, they have gone up on price and the drinks are no longer included with your sandwich. This was a mistake. Now, I go there about once a month.

Oh yea, thought of another one. My buddy is only 20, do you think he'll be able to order beer? Will I be able to do it for him?

What time is it open from? I mean for the burgers, not the bar in general.

$1 burgers are from 5-9. Be prepared for one of the worst smelling bars.

The smell is not too bad right now. Now when crawfish season is here it can get nasty in there.
