| - More like B Okay.
I was excited to try B Good because to my knowledge, it's the only place in Uptown where you can order a burger with a gluten free bun. My interests may be niche, but nonetheless I was looking forward to giving this place a shot.
My first impression was that this place hasn't been finished yet. The restaurant is cavernous and stark with high ceilings and no sound absorption. It's deafening during the lunch rush but I'd imagine it's nearly as loud even when they're slow.
The layout is awkward. You place your order to the left, but there's hardly any room to queue up. This leaves patrons looking at one another in confusion, asking "is this the line? Are you in line?" The waiting area is in the center of the counter and it seems to be where everyone ordering to-go awkwardly gathers.
I went for lunch with a coworker and ordered first. I got the Cousin Oliver burger. When the woman behind the counter asked what cheese I'd like, I assumed that meant I had options included. Not so; when I got my receipt I saw I'd been charged $1.25 to add cheddar. Brutal.
After ordering to dine in, you're handed a buzzer and left to your own devices. We grabbed a table in the back and waited for our buzzers to light up. The plush chairs along the windows look comfy, but they're far too low for the tables and you'll feel like a child. If you're dining in, you'll have to leave your seat to go up and claim your meal. I'd imagine this is a real pain if you're lunching alone; abandon your table and you may return with nowhere to sit. I guess the cheese upcharges don't pay for a food runner.
My burger looked beautiful when I picked it up. You'll have to go to the right of the counter to get ketchup and mustard -- no other sauces or condiments seem to be available. As such, my burger felt very dry as I ate it.
The fries, by the way, don't seem to be worth the additional cost of including a side. Mine were pale and limp, without adequate seasoning (and only ketchup to dip 'em in, as noted above).
All told, a cheeseburger and fries set me back $14. I'd happily shell out this much for a great, flavorful burger, but that's not what I received. I wish I could offset this with high marks for service, but there really isn't any service, other than borderline predatory upcharging at the register.
Maybe it's my mistake for ordering a burger at a healthy lunch spot. I'm not against giving B Good another try with another dish, but I'm not in a rush to return.
