In a town like Batesville, a new restaurant doesn't just open its doors -- it announces an…read moreintention. It suggests momentum. It dares to believe there is room for something fresh on familiar streets. Board on Third carries that ambition with confidence. From the moment you step inside, it's clear that care went into the space. The décor feels curated rather than assembled -- modern without sterility, warm without cliché. There's a sense of thoughtful layering: textures that play off each other, lighting that flatters rather than floods, and design choices that signal intention. It feels like a place built for gathering -- a backdrop for conversations that linger. The staff reinforces that promise. Attentive without hovering, present without being performative. Water glasses don't empty unnoticed. Questions are answered with clarity. There's an eagerness that reads as pride -- and that matters in a new establishment finding its rhythm. Then came the chicken quesadilla. Tex-Mex is deceptively simple. It asks for restraint, but demands execution. The tortilla is not a vessel; it is the foundation. Fresh-pressed, it should offer elasticity and blistered character, carrying the aroma of toasted flour. Here, it felt ordinary -- serviceable, but lacking the tender resilience and warmth that elevates a quesadilla from cafeteria fare to something transportive. The chicken followed suit. Slightly chewy, suggesting either a previous freeze or a reheating cycle beyond its prime. Not inedible -- but uninspired. For a dish built on so few elements, each one must carry weight. When even one falters, the whole plate sinks. To be fair, every new restaurant deserves grace. Kitchens calibrate. Suppliers shift. Line cooks find their tempo. Growing pains are part of the story arc. And in a place like Batesville, supporting that arc matters. But context matters too. Coming from Texas -- where Tex-Mex is less cuisine and more birthright -- the bar sits high. A quesadilla is not a casual afterthought; it is a benchmark. On this visit, that benchmark was missed. None of this negates the promise. The space has charm. The staff has heart. The ambition is evident. What's needed now is refinement -- especially on dishes that appear simple but demand precision. Board on Third has the framework of something lasting. With tighter execution in the kitchen and attention to foundational details, it could become a cornerstone rather than just a newcomer. The potential is there. Now it's a matter of meeting it.

When my food arrived I could immediately tell it had been reheated in the microwave. Even with that the ribs were tender and tasted pretty good. The Bad- the brisket was dry and because it was reheated in the microwave it was way overcooked. Dark dark gray color with no juice in it what so ever. It was flavorless and very underwhelming. Beans were just beans. Be better if they were seasoned and put on smoker to get the flavor. Potato salad was good. Liked their hot bbq sauce.

We're talking styro-foam cups and plastic forks/spoons but don't let that stop you. The BBQ here is pretty darn tasty. I sampled brisket sandwich with coleslaw. The meat was perfectly cooked and I loaded it down with the spicy BBQ sauce. My uncle was unusually quiet as he didn't make a peep while he was working on his 1/2 rack of ribs. Pro Tip: Cowboys closes down between lunch and supper, so check the hours before you head out.

There is a segment in the restaurant community that does well by making the simple things you can…read moremake at home. There is not only nothing wrong with that, it is sometimes exactly what you need. Exotic flavor combinations and ingredients that aren't in your regular shopping cart is not what you want. A simple sandwich, BLT for her, Club for me, with crinkle cut fries gets the job done sometimes. It satisfies that 5th grader that lurks inside of all of us no matter how old we are. I also think the older we get, the more satisfied we are with safe, neutral flavors. A pinch of salt, the indication of a whisper of pepper, a patina of mayo. We were in town for my wife to visit a quilting cornerstone spot for her. We are retired now, and closer than we had been over in MD, so we hopped in the car and made a 3 day odessy, good time had by all. Our visit got off to a little of a rough start, [at the time an unexplained delay after tea delivery - the other staff could have taken the initiative of coming to take our order, but I don't know the internal dynamics here] however the young lady bounced back well, and there are no complaints on actual service or the food. I suspect it is quite popular with the locals, I see a lot of lofty praise in the reviews, and our hotel clerk recommended we try it.

We ordered the green tomatoes to share and they were yummy. Probably the best I ever had. My friends were both satisfied with their meal, one ordered a salad, and the other one had a chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, for me, I ordered a hamburger with fried okra. The okra was pretty good, however the hamburger was absolutely inedible. Dry and flavorless! I took one bite and couldn't believe how bad it was! Worst of all, when I complained the girl said "Oh, sorry about that." and walked away. I didn't want to make a scene, since I was with new friends. Needless to say, I will not be going back. There are other options in Batesville.

I was excited to try it as it's not often you see a restaurant whose specialty is a baked potato. We were seated right away on a Monday for lunch. Our server was so sweet and took time to answer all of our questions about the menu. I decided to go with the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch loaded potato which was a touch choice as every potato on the menu sounded amazing. My husband got the Bourbon Blitz burger which was on special. Y'all....the potato was HUGE and the BOMB!! It had queso, shredded cheese, ranch, hand breaded chicken tenders, fresh bacon, onions, lettuce, and tomato. There was not one square centimeter on that spud that wasn't topped with something. My husband said his burger was the best he ever had which is saying a lot. The crinkle fries were just your basic frozen variety but they are fried in beef tallow which made them extraordinary. We both pretty much cleaned our plates and my husband kept moaning lol. I just left a couple bites of potato because of its colossal size but I gave it my best shot. If you are in Batesville, go try this place!! You will not be disappointed. Every plate we saw go by looked amazing. If you have room afterwards there is a delightful coffee shop in the library across the street called Rocket Brew which our server recommended.
