BB's is consistently exceptional. I have never had anything short of an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food is always outstanding, with each dish hitting the mark. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere creates the perfect setting for a delightful brunch, lunch, or dinner experience. Let's talk about their desserts – they are absolute dream-inducers. On two separate Sundays, I invited friends to join me for lunch after Sunday service, introducing them to BB's for the first time. Without fail, each person left impressed and became a lifelong customer. Even I wonder if I'll be included in their return visits, as BB's continues to live up to its reputation. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I am delighted that BB's offers an array of choices for me. On this visit, I relished the warm goat salad without the croutons, a truly delicious dish. In the past, I have also enjoyed their dangerously good gluten-free pizza. But the highlight was the GF caramel brownie, served with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I attempted to practice self-control and only eat half, but the treat was too irresistible to resist. Before I knew it, I had devoured the entire bowl. So, a piece of advice: if you plan to indulge in their desserts, do so with caution. One bite or half of a serving will surely not be enough once you start. In addition to their delectable menu, BB's boasts a full bar and a skilled bartender who concocts drinks that are simply exceptional. The overall experience at BB's is perfect for a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or even a small party celebration. Just be mindful of indulging too much, as stopping yourself from eating the entire dessert might prove to be a challenge. I highly recommend BB's as a dining destination. The consistently great food, excellent service, and overall ambiance make it an ideal choice for any occasion. But I must warn you, proceed with caution – the temptations at BB's can be quite irresistible!

I came to eat with my granddaughter. I asked about Gluten Free options and the cashier said, “Well, we have a gluten free bun.” I told her it was an “allergy” because that’s how the food industry understands Celiac. I asked about a dedicated fryer for fries and she said, “Well put fries and onion rings in it, so is that bad?” So… if your Celiac or sensitive Gluten Intolerant, please know there is a risk and the staff is unhelpful. I also ordered a Kids Junior Cheesburger, and out came a grilled cheese. I looked at the receipt and she rang it up wrong, so I’m not saying anything since my granddaughter seems to be ok and isn’t complaining. Overall, very disappointing and I won’t be back.

We came here after a 5k for a group brunch. I have Celiac Disease, and always struggle to find decent options at restaurants. The menu had so many gluten free options! And even when I didn't realize an option existed for a certain dish, the server made sure I knew I could sub GF toast, or other options. The food was great, the cold brew coffee was delicious, and I can't wait to come back.

Food was good and the employees were very helpful. I visited this restaurant looking for a gluten free meal. They had several items to choose from, although mostly salads. Husband had the Cuban sandwich which he said was really good.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Fizzies and Fare, nestled within the enchanting Sweet Pete's candy store. The addition of a gluten-free bun option showcased their commitment to inclusivity, and the overall experience, surrounded by sweets, was simply delightful. A perfect blend of savory and sweet in a charming setting!

They have everything I loved about the Riverside location and more! I stick with a gluten free diet and I've always been able to find a variety of options. Sometimes that means just protein + leafy greens and ditching the rolls. My 4 year old LOVED getting to assemble their own sandwich from the board. While we waited for the food we wandered around the market & florist which was filled with amazing goodies. We ended up getting a funky fall centerpiece of dried stems, it will last for seasons to come if I store it carefully. Ciera was at the register and was a great help while ordering and made the whole experience very pleasant & fun.
