    Shelby our server did a great job in making sure we had the best possible dining experience. She was very knowledgable about the food and the drinks, especially the bourbon. The food was exceptional. Really liked the fried green tomatos and the bacon appetizer. I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

    As always, OBC never lets me down. Jack was a pretty good waiter. However, I will forever smile ear to ear when Shelby arrives. She is OBC kitchen. She is an OG. I believe she is the reason people come there. Anyway, thank you for bringing back the pork belly tacos. They are life-changing.

    Ate there a couple of weeks ago everything was wonderful. Last nite food was barely ok Chicken parm which was best I’ve ever had last time was a huge disappointment this time Over cooked. You shouldn’t even charge for the fingerling potatoes …. They were awful It was my bday & I wanted something chocolate for dessert So I ended up w/ mini chocolate donuts. What a treat… not!! And I enjoy OBC. But I won’t be back to eat for awhile
