Portion Control Concerns with Brisket
My experience at this restaurant, and also at their 3rd Ave location, involved a worker with long hair who consistently served the tiniest portions possible, especially with the brisket. This practice seems designed to encourage customers to ask for extra, thereby incurring additional charges. This is precisely why I felt compelled to write this review.

Favorite Spot for Simple, Good Food
My experience at BB's was fantastic! It's my favorite restaurant on the Ave. The service was both friendly and fast. The menu is simple, and the food is good, with the mixed green salad being a particular standout. I also appreciate that all the containers and utensils are compostable.

Quick Bites, Sticky Tables
My experience was for a quick easy food option right on the street. The food was good, but surprisingly, the Diet Coke was the best thing. Unfortunately, the tables were all dirty, leading to a sticky table experience. The restaurant seems to cater to the college community.

BB's Teriyaki: A Go-To for School Sports Catering!
My experience at BB's Teriyaki on the Ave was fantastic, especially for catering needs. They are a go-to spot for Roosevelt High School team sports. The food is always on point, and the athletes always love it. It's also a great bang for the buck. Thanks to the BB's crew!

Terrible Teriyaki Experience
My experience at this restaurant was far from good. The teriyaki was not good, with the chicken being dry and not fresh. The broccoli was overcooked to the point of being mush. The stir-fried vegetables also lacked freshness, and the noodles were bland and tasted wrong. I'm baffled as to how this place is still in business; it was a joke.

Sweet Teriyaki, Not Traditional
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the service and atmosphere were excellent, receiving a perfect 5/5, the food was only rated a 3/5. I found the chicken to be on the sweeter side, with a hint of Latin-inspired seasoning. It wasn't what I expected for traditional teriyaki flavor.

Consistent Food and Quick Service at BB's
My experience at BB's has been consistently positive. I've been a patron since before the pandemic, and the food quality remains the same. The service is also very quick, making it a great spot for a meal. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the noise level is quiet, allowing for easy conversation.

Great Food, Quick Service, Cozy Spot
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The food was great, and although it's a smaller spot, they've managed to make it feel spacy. The service was quick, and I appreciated the good customizations available. I would recommend this place and plan to go again.
