I made reservations for Tuesday evening for three. The table was ready upon arrival. I received a text message about 30 minutes prior to the reservation informing me the table was ready. I enjoyed dinner on the patio. Service was good and gave us time to to visit before ordering. Overall, a positive experience. Good food, Good Service.

We made a reservation for dinner. We were seated and sat at the table for nearly 30 minutes. No one came to take a drink or food order. We had a toddler with us. After some time (having not seen anyone who worked there for quite a while) I went to look inside for a staff member and they all seemed to be talking and having fun amongst themselves - not working. We left without dinner and when we told the staff we were leaving, they didn’t try to convince us to stay or to make it right. If the restaurant offers a reservation and accepts it, they should have staff for it. We are big fans of B&B Butcher but we won’t be back.

Lobster roll was WAY too small for $39 dollars!! I also think the Cobb salad should’ve been served with dressing on the side… it was a little soggy.

We dined outside on the huge patio. It was very pleasant. Almost like being in someone's backyard. The service was knowledgeable and attentive. The cocktails, beer, and wine selections are overly sufficient. The food is very good. We ordered Tuna Tartare 4/5, Chicken Lollipops 5/5, Smashburger 5/5, Fried Chicken Sandwich 5/5, French fries 4/5, and cheese cake 5/5.

Beautiful evening for outdoor dining. Fernando was an excellent waiter, and all of his suggested items to order were delicious (oysters, campechana, lobster roll, trout amandine). Dessert looked tempting, too, but we were too full from dinner. 😉

The food and venue was great, but the service was very poor. Our waiter was busy doing other things, talking to guests, and when we asked to order, he said he needed to go say hi to another table first. He chatted with that table for 15 minutes.. The entire time we were there we felt forgotten about, which was very frustrating. However, I don’t want that to deter someone from going from one bad experience. Food was great!

We had high hopes for this restaurant after eating at a few of its sister restaurants and the food quality was disappointing. My old fashioned was great, but the steak and fries was tough, too salty and the fries were just okay. The port schnitzel was dry, very greasy and had little to no flavor. I’m not sure we will be going back.

We had eaten at B.B. Lemon before and had a good experience. Today was good, but not great. We were surprised to see a 3.5% credit card surcharge on our check receipt. I assume there was a disclaimer somewhere, but none of us saw it, and the server did not tell us about it. So beware that prices on the menu are for cash price. My wife’s chicken wrap was dry and had little flavor. Chopped Steak was good. Campechana looked good, had one big shrimp, 2 fried oysters, may have been a couple of pieces of shrimp and a few chopped vegetable pieces and avacado with lots of tomato. Stingy on the seafood. Overall disappointed in the food. Good service.

Nice weather on the patio. My friend and I ordered fish and chips. Fries were great. The fish was bland. The server asked us how our meal was and we said ‘not good’. Fish had zero flavor. She shared this with the chef who agreed and offered free dessert. Great customer service. Will come back and try another item on their great menu.

It was a fantastic experience eating al fresco on one of the most perfect weather days we’ve had yet. The food was delicious, the blue crab beignets were crispy on the outside and oh so soft on the inside, the corned beef Benedict just fell apart I couldn’t have wished for a better meal.

It was our first time dining here and we had the best time! Everything was so tasty, we can’t wait to come back! Our server, Fernando, was so nice and great as well. There was a DJ on the patio, but it wasn’t too loud at all. Perfect enough where I didn’t have to yell but could still enjoy the music and the ambiance of it. 10/10 definitely recommend this spot!
