had my first experience with bbp last week. i got a large order for takeout - 8 burgers and 6 sides and had to wait about 20 minutes. it was very busy. there were 2 kids at the registers taking orders and even bussing tables to keep everything moving. it is not a big place and i thought the set up was sort of odd - half booths, half counter. i think they definitly need bit more organization at the front, especially when busy..people were stacking up on line and at the takeout area. not that the wait was bad, but its difernt when you are alreaday sitting and hav to wait for your food than if you have to wait just to order while standing in line. (one dirtbag refilled his soda while his friend blocked anyones view and walked out with the glass)

foodwise - its a burger joint. don't think of it as mesa grill...the prices are very reasonable and the food is basic and good. i personally don't like rare meat of any kind, so just the wee bit of pink in the middle of the burgers was fine. the onion rings were good...fries were the weak part - very dull - they need spice or crunch - something to perk them up....the 'hot chips' i thought would be spicy, hence the blue cheese dip, but i think they just mean hot tempature-wise, so by the time i got home, they were just chips. the blue cheese dip was good though - nice and chunky. the burgers were a decent size. we tried the crunchburger, l.a. burger, napa burger (all good), blue burger (very good) and buffalo burger (my favorite!)

the bottom line is i will definitly go back for the couple of burgers we really enjoyed, when i am in the area. the best burgers i have found yet are in a hole in the wall called 'american burger' in rockville centre - check them out!
