The best burger I've had in a long time! I had the Flat Daniel, a double cheese with bacon & mushrooms, cooked to perfection with a little pink inside. The burgers & sandwiches are served with chips but you must try the fries!! The small order is enough for two people & they have a seasoning that reminds me of Red Robin & a cut of fries like Five Guys Burger & Fries, so delicious Great service & atmosphere! Highly recommend
Absolutely the most friendly and best servers and staff in Carmel. Shouts out to Alicia, Mya, Bailey, Addie, Nick and Hannah. Elaima. Favorite spot to drink some Old Styles and have great food. Dog friendly patio always nice to have!
When I travel I try to keep it as local as I can get! This little “deli” turned out to be a place that I would love to return! It’s got a “cheers” vibe kind of bar/restaurant! The host was great and made sure I didn’t have to wait long for my BLT! It was an amazing sandwich and a generous amount of Bacon! Served with chips! I would definitely like to spend a little bit longer at this establishment!
Some of the absolute best smoked wings Ive ever had. And the Hot BBQ sauce was on point. Im not a blue cheese guy but love this kind wow!! Alittle pricey but there meaty and packed with flavor worth the price definitely!
Outstanding lunch and service. I don't know that they can make a 'bad' burger, absolutely delicious. BIG portions on their sides as well. Definitely going to be my 'go to' when I am on this side of town.
They claim to be a simple Chicago style deli. Yeah. That's putting it mildly. I haven't traveled Chicago much, so here's what I can say: This is a diamond... I'm a foodie, and my server, Jessica is too, and she took us on a food journey. I started with the fall-off-the-bones smoked wings. OMG. Like never eat at BW3 with these as an alternative. Smoked to perfection and flash fried. Good even without sauce. Get the wings! We had the Reuben and a Chicago beef sandwich... very good. If I was a local, I'd be a regular here. Whether you are a local or a tourist, try this! Then get a Gelato next door. Great combo!
A group of ladies and I dined her last night. Many of us, for the first time. The food was excellent! Everything that was ordered was delicious. I want to put a word out to our server, Maria!! She did a wonderful job (there were 10 of us). She was able to answer all our questions and explain all the menu items for us. She was consistent with checking on us and taking care of our needs. If you get her as a server, she will make your visit all the more enjoyable!!! Can't wait to get back.
A great place to get a pizza with friends. The dough was really good as well as the toppings. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. I really appreciated that the music wasn’t too loud to allow conversation.
