The old dude who sits in the back gave me a discount for going across the street to buy him some smokes while they completely scratched up the back of my watch to replace the battery.

Gotta tell you though, this place is a trip. Has this nostalgic feel to it and the old dude is pretty damn cool. The watch works in any case.

Extremely friendly and efficient staff. Outdoor seating on Lincoln is awesome when the weather is nice, but the inside of the store is a little small and seats get grabbed up quick. Lack of inside space is my only gripe (otherwise this would have been a 5 star review). Great if you are on the go!

The food here is amazing. A little pricey, but worth every penny.

I have not ordered anything here that I wouldn't order again and I have always gotten something different.

Highly recommend anything with "wagyu" in the description.

Tuesdays are $2 off growler refills.

I see some reviews here commenting on the tours. Whatevs. I hope the tours help their business, but you come to this location for the tap fresh growlers. Period.

I love their beer so much I am going to buy a T-shirt the next time I am there.

"Wow, you are so calm."

The new wife and I were hearing that a lot as the wedding day kept getting closer and closer. Seemed like everyone we talked to was surprised that we were not stressed out of our minds. We answered most questions about the planning and organization of the wedding with, "Oh, yeah, our wedding planner Kim is handling all of that."

Kim G. and the BCB staff did an incredible job. The entire planning process was spoon-fed to us. Everything leading up to and including the big day was more or less stress free. Kim gracefully fielded any problems we could throw at her (even the last minute stuff). And most importantly, the big day itself was beautiful and everything ran smoothly.

The wife and I decided to hire a wedding planner almost out of necessity because of our hectic schedules. However, I would definitely recommend Kim and BCB to anyone regardless of their circumstances. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

Karen C. said that Papa John's "tastes like college."  Any Urbana-Champaign alumni will know exactly what that means. Sometimes you just wanna kick back and gorge on cheese sticks and cheap beer.

This place gets an honorable mention for being one of the few places in the area that stays open past 10 pm. Not a bad last resort.
