Food was just ok. Fries were cold. Waited 20 min to be seated @ 1230 on Thursday. I'll go back and try other stuff.

The staff was friendly. I ordered the big bob burger and there was more bun then actual burger, and it was dry and over cooked. One of my kids ordered the soup. it tasted like it came out of a can, which more then likely did. I highly doubt we come back.

Might be just still learning, but very frustrated with service tonight. We waited 20 minutes for a table. Which isn’t too bad. 5 minutes after we sat down the waitress stopped by and said she’d be right back. Then we didn’t see her till we gave up and told the manager we were just going to leave 15 minutes later. There was staff members all over that restaurant. No one bothered to even bring us a glass of water. Hopefully it gets better. 

Business response:

Oh, no! It seems like we missed the mark. If you wouldn’t mind taking the time, please email us and let us know how we could have made your experience better. info@blackbeardiner.com

The wait wasn't long and our waitress Penny was attentive. The food was awful. There were several plates in the window that sat for long periods of time waiting. My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and the bread was hard as a rock, cut the roof of his mouth like Captain Crunch cereal, little to no sauerkraut, his onion rings were very very bland and unsalted. I ordered the chopped steak and eggs. I wasn't asked how I wanted my steak cooked, it came out charred/ burnt and dry, very little mushrooms. The hashbrowns were ok,... read more

Very good waitresses are not trained well. A new place what do you expect. Tonight I had to ask for corn bread muffins. Last time got the muffins but minus the butter... I’ll train them

Waitresses not good.. first time hubby’s order came out cold and not even correct..they took back to do over..again not correct. I let him finish my meal since he is diabetic. Area manager came by our table.. I’m sure we were not the only ones giving him an ear full. We may, as in may try again in a few months... today’s visit; meal came out ok, bacon was so over cooked it tasted burnt..had to tell our waitress several times for a coffee refill..my cup was empty by the time she finally came the first time and the second t... read more

Food tastes like production line reheated in a bag. Mashed potatoes were so pasty o thought they had clue in them.

Salmon was not blackened as advertised, waitress was friendly but not in any hurry . Took 55 minutes to get a seat and 30 minutes after we ordered. Breakfast meal was fine, but hard to mess that up. Jury still out if we will return ????
