    Rueben Dog with Dipper Fries
    John C.

    I arrived at Blue 42 for dinner on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was busy. I was alone so I chose one of the high seats across from the bar so larger parties could take any other open spots. I didn't realize that this meant that the bartender would also be my server. She was really busy and I felt like some of the other servers could have helped out. I ended up waiting a bit before she was able to get away from the bar to take my drink order. I was there for a hot dog and they had some good options. I ended up choose the Rueben dog which had sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island dressing. I also went with the Dipper fries (after asking what they were). It didn't take long for the food to arrive and I, admittedly, enjoyed eavesdropping on some of the conversations around me. :) It looked like the dog had been sitting under a warmer cause the thousand island was....dry?...looking. I went to pick up the bun and it was already coming apart. Not a great sign. On the bottom of the bun there was a small black spot. My suspicion was mold but I don't know that for sure. I cut it off. The whole hot dog fell apart after the first bite. Lots of wet toppings will do that to an untoasted bun. The hot dog itself was ok but I wanted more thousand island dressing. The Dipper fries were great. They are essentially Fritos scoops but as fries, fries that are cut in a scoop shape, and they are served with cheese sauce. What's not to like? I'd be interested in trying other items on the menu but probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    My husband and I were traveling through and didn't want to eat our usual fast food, so we stopped here. The restaurant/sports bar is perfect for watching your favorite game and there was already a line of men at the bar ready. My husband ordered a burger and I ordered the fish tacos. The fish tacos were pretty good and the homemade chips were excellent! The restaurant is small and we seemed to get in at the right time, before the lunch crowd, so get here early.

    One of the Best places for wings, burgers, and brisket in the whole area. We drive down 45 minutes from Avery Co. and it was so worth it!!!

    The food was pretty good and the service was excellent. We went on a quiet Sunday evening and sat outside on the patio area. It's located on a very busy corner of an intersection. On Sunday evening, it wasn't horrible however, I imagine on a day where there's high traffic it would be nearly impossible to enjoy yourself. They had one unisex bathroom that was pretty gross. I always check bathrooms at restaurants. Though the seat, sink and supply table surfaces were clean, the bottom of the toilet was gnarly. If I didn't have an additional 2 Hour drive to get home I definitely would have waited. The burger and fries we ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked and the veg served with it was very fresh and crisp. The French dip ribeye sandwich I ordered was heavenly. Probably one of the best French dips I've had in a while. If I lived locally, I would definitely go again, weighing the good with the bad it would be still worth it

    Pizza and burgers are great

    Stuffed burger with homemade chips

    We stopped in B42's on our way to Stateville. A little hard to find Google maps has it on the otherside of the road but glad we kept looking and found it. It's a very small restaurant maybe 8 tables and a few bar seats. The service was very friendly. We first wanted to order the crab dip appetizer but I wanted a few pieces of celery vs pita bread, since they serve wings I knew they'd have it, but they wanted $2 for that so we nix that. I ended up ordering a stuffed burger that was delicious. Hubby ordered grilled chicken sandwich which he said was very plain. Not someplace I would go out of my way for but if in the area we would come again.

    Burgers and environment were awesome!! My wife loved her chicken Philly as well. We had the French dip sliders for an appetizer and they were awesome. Service was a little slower because the place was slammed and it's very small.

    The mascot chicken sandwich and hand-cut fries
    Mike H.

    Ordered a few items all tasted amazing. The Mascot is the best by far. Onion rings are so good aswell. Didn't understand why I had to pay extra for ranch after spending 50$ on 4 meals but receiving 1 ranch.. Didn't get greeted at the counter right away due to the hostess being on her cell phone...but other than that it was great and friendly. The place is a small dive bar with sports on big screens and beer. Awesome sports memorabilia.

    This place was GREAT. We had to wait a bit for a table 'cause it was crowded - but after trying to food we were not at all surprised by the busy-ness. Even tho it was busy, service was great. We never had to ask for refills and waitress was super attentive. After seeing so many reviews saying to try the PB&J Burger we couldn't resist - and SO glad we didn't!!! We JUST left and are already talking about wanting to go back. This burger sounds like a bad idea, but no. It was incredible. The jam was amazing. Just trust all the reviews and try it. We did go medium well 'cause a lot of reviews mention the burger being pink, but it was still super juicy and perfect. We also had the pretzel for an appetizer and again - totally blown away. So crisp and good. It came with queso, but we didn't even need it the pretzel was so delicious. I had the fish and chips which were great as well, crunchy and delicious. Just all so good. It IS a sports bar, but the tvs aren't loud or obtrusive. We could hear each other well. All in all a great experience! We will definitely be back 'cause I'm gonna crave that pretzel and he's going to want that burger!

    Brisket,swiss,sauerkauet on rye!

    Stumbled on this place as we were out for a ride. Was able to walk in and get a seat quickly. Waitress was promp and intentive. Nice menu lots of choices.Nice beer and drinks offered. Several families with kids. Food came quickly and hot!

    Food was good! They were short staffed that day, and really busy, so we had to wait a bit, but that's not their fault!
