| - BSBC is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I am a big fan of all the FoodFight spots, and this one is one of the best, IMO.
I visited here the other night with a friend, on a Tuesday. I didn't realize there was a concert happening at the Kohl Center that evening, so it was crazy downtown. LOTS of traffic, LOTS of people, and LOTS of frustration just trying to get to the restaurant. BSBC is awesome because there is an attached parking garage that you can typically park in and have the ticket validated - however, if the also attached hotel is full, and there is something big going on, the ramp is going to be full. We had to walk a few blocks once we finally found a lot with an open spot. Brrr.
Now, every time I have been in to BSBC the service has been stellar. Friendly and attentive staff, quick food delivery. This most recent time was very different. You could tell the staff was under a lot of pressure, and I don't blame them! The place was packed! We still only had a wait time of 15 minutes, though, which isn't bad!
Our server was nice enough, but not super friendly or chatty or personable.
The food was definitely the shining star of the night! SO YUMMY. We started with the everything pretzel app, it was HUGE! The two sauces it was served with were both very delicious and paired perfectly with the pretzel, despite how very different they were from each other. I had the savory french toast entree. OMG! The hollandaise was perfect. The egg was like the cherry on top. My friend had the pot roast egg sandwich which I will be trying next time I visit, it looked amazing.
Will I go back? Absolutely. Will I make sure there are not concerts happening at the Kohl Center next time I go? Absolutely, and you should too. That was a disaster.
