    My mom, sister, and I had a 5PM reservation. We were seated on time. We started with a cocktail and then shared two appetizers which were great. Each of us ordered a different entree in addition to sharing a dessert. The food and service were excellent!

    Im really not one to write reviews for anything as most unfortunatly are. For my girlfriend and my first time going to Black&Blue from waiting for our table to paying the bill her and I agreed it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. Both steaks were cooked beautifully and were still nice and warm when arrived to the table. We tried the nights special lobster mac&cheese and was pleasantly surprised how great it all was! Cheese was not too heavy, noodles were great and the lobster was amazing! Prices weren’t even as bad as we anticipated! A lovely night at Black&Blue on February 14th Valentines day :)

    We go to Dave & Busters often, but don't always have time to sit and have a meal. Our food and service was great, and the menu had a variety of options for everyone. The only downfall, and not even a huge deal, the kids portions were very small. My kids probably could have ordered two kids meals each with the size of the portions they had. D&B should consider increasing the size of the kids portions.

    We made reservations for this restaurant after church on a Sunday and we were celebrating brunch. It was very noisy when we first got there, but everyone seemed happy and it wasn’t overwhelming. We noticed immediately that the former brunch menu was no longer and they had a smaller menu. However, it was adequate and tasty. Service was excellent. I would recommend the food and the restaurant.
