    The best burger in Bluffton and the biggest! The service was amazing, super nice, and the food was delicious.

    This restaurant is listed as open to the public. We were turned away at the gate today while trying to go for lunch.

    I have had the experience of eating BB for over a year and have never had anything I didn't like. I have had every menu item.

    This was one of our top three favorite breweries on HHI/Bluffton. And we visited A LOT of them…read more Friendly bartenders, great beer, and an above-average soft jumbo pretzel.

    2/21/26 visit…read more Ambiance: SBB has a standard bar feel. It has many tv's and a very lively atmosphere. 3/5. Side note: We sat next to a table of two young children who were watching videos on two different tablets with the volume blasting while their parents sat at an adjacent table with another couple. Parents of these children, have a little self awareness and tell your kids to put their tablets on mute or buy them some headphones or earbuds. WTF? Service: Our waitress did a good job of getting our drink orders correct and our food came out pretty quickly 4/5 Food: I had the patty melt and my wife had a burger. The food was above average. 3.5/5 The beer: This is where things went sideways . I've had SBB's core beers before and they are pretty solid, especially the Damn Yankee IPA. We decided to get two flights of beer. The flights had all 8 of their small batch releases. They were terrible. I would only order 1 out the 8 again. The two Belgian beers and the sour had a strong vinegar taste. The others were unremarkable. 1/5 I'd go back for the core beers and food, but would be very leery ordering any small batch beers Overall rating 2/5. It would have been a. 3/5 rating if I didn't order any small batch beers.
