Wasn’t expecting a menu change and dishes seeking to order are not on menu. Spoke with Manager. Discussion with corporate needed.

Overall, ok. Had very good service. The clam chowder was excellent. The fish and chips, however, were disappointing, mediocre at best. Too much batter and a little greasy. Fries were average, a little soggy for me. The banana pudding was very good, but very sweet. Think it was the marshmallow in it. Not too happy about getting 0 points for the visit, but I knew in advance they don’t award points. Spent over 100, but whatever. Should have gone to the butchers across the street. And had to valet park!

Hate that changed the menu so much. Mostly sandwiches left on the menu not real entrees. So sad that took off the trout almondine. Checked the online menu before we went and to our surprise different menu at the restaurant. Very disappointed. Service was also slower than previous visits. Probably won't be back.

Whole family needed to get out of the house following the Holidays and BB Lemon is one of our Go-To’s! Made it just in time for Happy Hour for some Old Fashioned’s ($9 is a crazy value) and hot dogs for the kids. Everyone got a different entree and loved it. Never a bad time at BB!

It's great to know that you all enjoyed our Old Fashioneds and hot dogs for the kids. We always aim to provide a memorable experience for our guests, so we're glad that you found value in our offerings. We can't wait to welcome you back for Happy Hour or any time you're in the mood for an Old Fashioned!

The food is very good. Wait service was extremely attentive. We celebrated a birthday and a shareable dessert was brought out enough for 5 people.

Was excited to go last night, but disappointed with the level of service and drinks. Expected more from Berg. Food was pretty good. We got the cajun chicken and fried chicken sandwich, both were good!
