I had to travel to Ohio every few weeks for about 2 years. I discovered this place on one of my weekends here. They have consistently shown wonderful customer service and good food. They used to have an amazing BLT that I’m hoping they bring back! I just returned to Columbus for another weekend and brought my family with me-they loved it just as much. A huge shout out to the manager and staff that was there Dec 7-they were all truly wonderful!

I love the French onion soup. This time I opted for the pork chop meal which was very good. Also had the salmon dip another new favorite. A friend had the bbq chicken sandwich and said it needed seasoning. I didn’t taste. The fries were also a little dry. Overall great experience.

Drinks were excellent. Unfortunately, for the first time in numerous visits for food was mediocre. Hopefully it was just a bad night for the kitchen as there is so much competition in this area that the quality of the food needs to remain excellent. Blackened salmon was especially bland.

Staff was very friendly and held our reservation as we were late. Server was also very friendly but also very busy. We would have liked drink refills but didn’t get them. The food was well priced but not many options and heavily seasoned. The salmon should come with a vegetable. It was October but the seasonal salad was still “summer.” It wasn’t a bad experience but it wasn’t good enough for us to go back.

Great mango sweet tea, lotsa mango taste. Flying Hawaiian would have been better with shredded chicken. Some gristle in sandwich. Pineapple salsa taste somewhat hidden. Sweet potato fries were good.

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.

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.
