Lived in BR for 13 years but have been away for the last 2.

Whats new and worth checking out while I'm in town this weekend? Is Provisions legit? Anywhere else I should go?


Usual favorites are Merchant, Sammys, Chimes, City Pork, Olive or Twist, Beausoleil, Bistro Byronz, etc... I know the staples. Looking for the latest and greatest.

TIA .. see yall at the PMAC Saturday

Rocca Pizzeria opened about a year ago. We're fans.
White Star Market is now open. There's a mixed bag of stuff in there, all pretty solid.
The Advocate ran this about the restaurants that opened in 2018 with a map and a description of each spot.

Edit: Oooh, forgot Elsie's

Elsie's Plate and Pie is the newest restaurant I've tried and really enjoyed.

Lit Pizza is solid. I've heard good things about Rocca, but never been.

The White Star Market is cool, and Smokin' Aces is in there now with a different BBQ place in their spot farther down Government Street. The Pizza place in White Star is fantastic.

UMAMI is really really good.

I haven't tried Kalurah, Provisions, or Soji yet.

There is no bbq place in white star. What used to be smoking aces is now at Tiger deauxnuts.

Me and a buddy are stopping in BR tonight off Seigen Lane....what’s a good spot for some great food and beer? Any dives?

Not really in the Siegen area.. mostly chains like Twin Peaks and Hooters. Burgersmith seems decently liked on here, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a dive.

Siegen? Hmm. For drinks and food on siegen, The board shits on this place but I don’t see any problems with it and that is...




tj ribs. Head to Perkins road and try Red Zepplin. That place is cool.

Best new restaurant is probably Soji. Make sure to get reservations.
