We didn’t think the food was very good. The mashed potatoes and the corn muffins were the best part of the meal. The brisket was dry and the green beans and Mac and cheese were bland.

Went for restaurant week menu. Portions were small for the $, food was ok. The pimento cheese on the fried tomato appetizer was frozen in the middle and dessert was different that listed. My husband had the shrimp & crawfish salad sandwich was very small and there wasn’t much in the bun. Server was adequate but not very personable or attentive. Overall, it was a mediocre experience all around.

We had the the brisket and it was outstanding. This is a nice experience with great food they even had live music which I love. The service was excellent and the location is nice. The parking is a little confusing give yourself a few minutes to park and walk to the restaurant. the restaurant is located through a little outdoor space with a large fountain.

Unfortunately when Covid hit B&B condensed and changed their menu. The old menu was much better offering a better selection and variety. We had wings, salads, and fries. Average food with average service and a little expensive for what you get. If you have reason to go to Creekside then maybe B&B, but don’t make a special trip.

Went for Mother's Day and overall the experience was ok. The ambiance and service staff were great but the food was mediocre and took a very long time arrive after ordering. Mom had a good time so I guess it was overall a good meal but I would not book again.

To begin, the host knocked it out of the ballpark. Friendly energy, and we are quickly acknowledged and seated. Service was great. The food was really good but like everything else in this world, The prices are getting pretty steep. Great atmosphere, will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere and jazz band on a Saturday evening. Crew did a great job managing seating despite disruption from prom. Everything would have been great, if it weren’t for the food. Loaded fires were stale and undercooked, in an awful white sauce that didn’t make sense, almost like a potato soup. Fish tacos were bland. Collard greens were overly sweet and not good. Smoked wing appetizer was the best thing we had, but even that had a sweet bbq sauce that left us on a sour note. Overall menu also seemed limited for a feature restaurant. Sorry…I did not enjoy and we would have been better off at CityBBQ. Will not likely return, unless it’s just for cocktails with friends.

I requested an outdoor table and made a reservation. When I arrived the staff had to check to see if an outdoor table was available. The point of a reservation is to make sure that a table is ready when the customer arrives. A drink menu was provided but did not include beer options. I requested one but it was forgotten by the wait staff. I ordered an entree salad to be split for an appetizer, with the dressing on the side. The wait staff brought the salad on one plate, an extra, empty plate, but no dressing. The beer that I did order was forgotten. The boar burger was tasty, but the crinkle fries were like the frozen kind you bake in the oven at home. I ordered strawberry shortcake for dessert, it was flavorless and the strawberries were not fresh. The outdoor atmosphere was nice and the wait staff friendly.

I had the Nashville style Chicken and Waffles and it was fantastic. Sweet and just the right amount of spicy. Chicken was tender and juicy, Waffle was perfect. Side of Brussel sprouts with onion was really good too. Combine that with a great local beer from Wolf’s Ridge and I had a perfect meal. My wife had the Brisket BLT and Sweet potato fries. She really liked her meal also.
