| - Meh pretty much describes my experience here. Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a family birthday dinner. Things started out great as we were quickly seated at a large table in the noisy patio area. We like sitting outside, but this is where the joy ended at CB&C.
There is an extensive list of draft/canned/bottled beers and a large menu of appetizers, salads, Mac and Cheese, dogs and, of course, burgers. You can get one of their designer burgers, or build your own. I can't get past the price of a standard hot dog, nearly $10 with potato chips, but whatever. I didn't order one. I did have a tasty Kiltlifter though.
We all ordered burgers, I personally had the Jucy Lucy-fer as did the FSIL. Everyone else in my group is vegetarian, so they had the veggie burger, mac and cheese or whatever meatless thing they could find. We ordered some Onion Rings for an appetizer.
The rings arrived first, by a dour server, who just dropped off the bowl in the middle of the table. Not a word was said as he quickly disappeared, Leaving nothing but a bowl of dry onion rings. Sauces were not delivered or offered, not that we had a chance to ask. Who eats onion rings dry? Seems like maybe catsup, or my favorite, Ranch Dressing could accompany this dish. About ten minutes later, the burgers and other stuff arrives. My medrare arrived medwell, as did the FSIL's. Nobody checked back. Even being over-cooked, the burger was juicy and flavorful, with a decent hint of hotness, but nothing to be afraid of, despite the dire warnings on the menu. Others had tater tots which came out nice and crispy.
Eventually, the check arrived. Service was....well, unexceptional to the point of mundane. Taking your order, dropping off food and check, and pretty much nothing else. The patio and dining room are surrounded by televisions all tuned to various sporting events and some raucous music. The patio table we sat at was directly under this fan thing with a mister embedded, the fan speed was such that it felt like we were sitting under a waterfall - but it was really good at cooling our food off fast.
So, I was curious about this location in my neighborhood and I'm glad that I gave them a chance, but disappointed that it was so mediocre.
No. I won't be back. I can think of a few places in my neighborhood that can do burgers way better and cheaper. Some of them are fast-food places, which I only go to under duress, but when you got to, you got to.
