    a sandwich cut in half
    Kimberly T.

    Bo Diddley's has been around since 1981 and they serve up some big hearty sandwiches. Located right by St. Ben's campus, Bo Diddley's is a small establishment that brings a lot of students and families alike. My boyfriend and I recently went there for lunch and there was a line to the door. Once we got to the counter, we ordered a roast beef sandwich, kettle chips, a gyro, and a side of mac & cheese. My boyfriend's roast beef sandwich stole the show. He loved it and I had a bite and wish I would have gotten one myself. Although it was filling and came with soft pita bread, I would not recommend the gyro. It doesn't taste the way an authentic gyro with sliced meat would taste. The meat was bland, nothing special. My side was rather sad and disappointing - Kraft mac & cheese straight from the box was not was I was expecting for my side. I was hoping for mac & cheese made in-house, but that is not what they give you here. I would not have purchased it had I known what I was going to get. As for the space, Bo Diddley's needs to do something with their dining room. Very drab. I understand it being small, but there's not much in there not to mention the bland colored walls. Nothing eye-catching to look at while we waited for our food and it was pretty silent, so it made the entire room just feel odd. Their space needs more love and character. Even though I could only give Bo Diddley's a "good" rating this time due to my overall experience and the roast beef being the only highlight of our lunch, I will be back to try more of their sandwiches! That roast beef is undeniably delicious, so I'm crossing my fingers there will be more great sandwich options on the menu.

    Stopped by per a recommendation from my bartender at Bad Habit Brewery. I went with his recommendation of the 'Combo' & he did not lead me astray. I got the half (6") version of the sandwich (w/ the store recommended toppings), which was packed with meats, cheeses, and veggies. So substantial and satisfying! The meat and cheese seems to be quality. And the veggies were perfect deli veggies (super thinly sliced onions... 'nough said). The bread was also super good. I called in a pick-up order and it was ready in less than 15min. Overall, the sandwich reminded me of a good quality sub from Jersey/the east coast. Which is about the best compliment I can give it!

    My whole family ended up with food poisoning, we were sick and vomiting for 24 hours. We will NEVER eat here again.

It's home to the beautiful, calm, and peaceful Sauk River. Geese, ducks, ducklings, and a garden to enjoy the view of the river. Inside, there's a warm, welcoming, and hospitable atmosphere. Jaclin is very friendly and professional. The family had a great time, and the geese were happy since we gave them some snacks. Among other things, as a chef, I recommend the Spam skewers--yes, Spam--and the BBQ ribs, which are fantastic. Good selection of drinks, and behind the bar, very skilled hands. Until next time...

When I asked that they at least discount it our waitress said she asked and could not even though it was not eaten. I asked if her manager knew this, she said yes and walked away. As I waitress myself I would have never handled it like that. Bad business on the managers part. I did not make a big deal out of it but simply stated the fact we literally could not eat it. Really too bad! I also suggested they clean the cobwebs off the salt and pepper shaker holder and dust a bit. Let's just say we were able to write our names on the booths back wall in the dust.

When someone who works there still chooses to eat there on their free time, you're not just ordering food--you're stepping into a trusted insider experience. This is the kind of plate that makes you pause mid‑bite, look around, and think, "Yep... this is exactly where I'm supposed to be right now." And you just know happy hour is about to hit different with premium beverages.
