| - We did return last week for the first time in about a year. This time we arrived early and didn't have to hike the parking lot. However the service this time really was sub-par. Twice I had to wave my arms to flag my waitress down to get her to visit the table, refill drinks, etc.
Aside from the service, here's the thing that drops my rating to two stars: I ordered onion rings with my burger. When my food arrived, there was no ranch, bbq sauce or other condiment to dip my rings in. I asked for some dressing. When I got the bill I found I was charged for a couple ounces of dressing. Now, when you charge between $11 and $18 for a burger and chips, do you REALLY need to tack on another 50 cents for a small condiment serving. It's not the amount, it's that you have to nickel and dime your customers when your prices are already premium. I could buy a pizza and feed a family of four for what you charge for a cheeseburger and chips. Do you really need to add that extra .50??
This time, in order to keep the tab in the two figure range, we skipped the beers. It was "Cold Water and Cheeseburgers", LOL!! I was genuinely surprised the water was free.
Again, just to balance the review, the food was, as always, amazing. The host staff at the front door was friendly and we were welcomed and seated quickly. We will probably be back. Unlike other restaurants in the area, CBCB is not one that we will visit with any regularity.
Edit: One last thing. If you get the "Juicy Lucy" burger (my first time), don't cut it in half. There is a hunk of melted cheese in the center that liquifies as it cooks and will squirt all over your clean shirt and shorts the minute you plunge a knife into the burger, thus ending the "Juicy" part of "Lucy" and leaving you with a dried out burger and a laundry pre-soak job. Careful biting into it also.
