What not to do when opening a restaurant!
Future restaurateurs, take notes, this will be on the exam.
For the short time Blue Fire BBQ has been open, there have been changes in chefs, as well a fairly significant turnover in wait staff. This is the first warning sign.
The draw of this place is the pretty blue lights that ornament the bar and sign, not the food. Those shimmering aqua lights make for an awkward setting once inside the restaurant, and do a fine enough job distracting guests from the mediocre food and service. The ribs were tough, salty, and dry. The side dishes left me yearning for Boston Market, clearly not a flattering comparison. The place was empty both times, once during lunch and once on a Tuesday evening.
This ill-planned catastrophe is hanging on by it's last rib. As a lover of BBQ, I was ecstatic when I saw Blue Fire BBQ open up.
Unfortunately, a good idea wrapped in a box with pretty blue paper is still just an empty box.
