In my opinion BBE is the best choice for burgers and craft beers. They had a chicken and dumpling soup that I could eat everyday. The hippie, big juan, Tuscan and Cyclops burgers are some of the best to are going to find in NE Ohio. If you want comfort food, the Smoked Mac and Cheese is pretty amazing on a cold winter's night. The burgers of the month are always spot on and if you have a cheat day in your diet the wild improbable burgers are totally worth it. Other great menu items are the hot Italian sandwich and the Turkey Reuben.
I also suggest BBE to people who are coming to Lakewood for an evening out, whether it is for a special occasion, date night, guys/girls night out or just wanting to try something different and new.
The staff at BBE is some of the best you are going to find.They are warm, friendly, inviting, attentive and knowledgeable about beer and always will to assist customers in finding their new favorite beer. They are so personable that going in alone is more like meeting up with a friend in how well they engage and create conversations with the customers. I highly recommend it to everyone and look forward to many more trips in the not too distant future.
With that said do not let my previous review detract from your interest in trying this Lakewood treasure. The chowder was not great in my opinion but the menu is full of wonderful options and worth the trip. So three Cheers to BBE
