    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.

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
