The seasonal we had was inventive and delicious. That old fashioned was honestly excellent - peep how they froze the cherry in the rock. Cute! Burger - great Cheesesteak - great with some flair (I wanna say maybe some gochugang somewhere in there?) Fries - really good and plentiful Service - if they didn't shine elsewhere (and they do) they'd really shine here. All helpful and witty. If you have business in Burlington - eat here If you don't have business in Burlington but find yourself hungry on that stretch of the interstate - eat here. But not if you have kids. 21 and up! 10/10 will return

We thoroughly enjoyed our first time at the Train Wreck Bar. They do not take reservations so we…read morearrived early as we had a party of eight, celebrating the 21st birthday of our grandson. We only had to wait a few minutes - 5 minutes maybe - before they called us in to be seated. Once seated we were served water and then they began taking drink orders. Since we were there for Sunday Brunch we waited a bit for the stragglers to arrive before ordering our meals. Service in general was excellent. Very timely without hovering. I ordered their Double Bloody Mary, a drink they are well known for around these parts. It's a drink and a meal all in one! The Bloody Mary was decent. Not the best I've ever had, but still tasty. Included, on skewers were two small biscuit sliders with egg, ham and cheese, three sausage meatballs, two large bacon wrapped potato chunks, a couple of pickled peppers, a chunk of apple, two blue cheese stuffed olives, a chunk of cheese, ham and salami. It also contained a big celery and carrot stick. It was supposed to have a dill pickle spear but I guess they forgot that or ran out. With it you get your choice of vodkas. I chose Tito's. This was all served in a quart size Mason Jar! Everyone else ordered other items and they all seemed to enjoy not only their drinks but their food as well. Salmon Scramble was really enjoyed by the son in law and stuffed French toast was great according to my wife. Several ordered the Breakfast Burrito in a Bowl and enjoyed it. They have an extensive breakfast menu available for brunch so a second visit will be in order. All in all it was a nice way to celebrate a birthday and eat brunch. Well worth a visit.

The TVs are usually showing local sports. The bartenders are friendly and get to know your regular order pretty quickly.

In town for the night, we were looking for a place to watch the game and Northwater had solid…read morereviews, so we decided to give it a try. Our server was outstanding. They happily put the game on when we asked and were very attentive throughout our visit, which made a great first impression. I ordered the burger with bacon and blue cheese and requested no condiments. I think there may have been some confusion in the kitchen, as the garnishes were left off as well, but our server promptly brought them out when asked. Unfortunately, the burger itself was overcooked and lacked flavor. The ciabatta roll was only partially toasted, and overall the dish fell a bit flat. The fries, however, were excellent hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I don't usually like coated fries, but these were a home run. My dining partner ordered the BLT and said the sandwich was great overall. We also shared the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were a bit different from traditional mozzarella sticks, thicker cheese with a heavier breading. While they were good, I felt the order should have included six instead of four. Overall, even though we were one of only two tables in the restaurant, we had a great lunch, thanks largely to the excellent service.

The bun was sourced from the BreadFarm down the street. The bun was very tough to chew though, which most likely means it was a day old or maybe longer. The soup was made in house and tasted good. Overall the meal was okay for a small town.

Our food was delicious and fresh. I got the BLAT sandwich with the side garden salad. My hubs got the French dip sandwich with the side Harvest Salad. We shared and got to taste each other's sandwiches. Both were spot on and satisfying. We especially appreciated the au jus that came with the French dip. It was tasty and not overly salty like so many other places. My hubs actually drank some of it after we finished the sandwich, it was that good! Neither of us drinks beer but we ordered their home brewed root beer and it was great. Very flavorful and not too sweet. Highly recommended. BBB is a wonderful place with a laid back vibe and upbeat crowd. Can totally understand why it's a Bellingham institution and we look forward to visiting again!

The 1/2 portion and salad was way more than enough. We celebrated a birthday, and our server gave us a chocolate brownie with PRETZEL a la mode. The pretzel was genius. Our table devoured it.
