The food, atmosphere, and people were great. We got pretzel sticks for an appetizer and they were so good. I got a fancy pants burger and my boyfriend got the big cheese. Also one of the servers gave a piece of cake from a birthday party from earlier in the day.

Love the Sunday brunch at Blind Bob's when the weather is good you can eat outside on there patio - Brunch is awesome and it is less expensive then some of the other options in the Oregon District so that is a plus . The drinks are great and they have good deals on them at brunch - one of my faves is the French toast with orange marmalade

Top notch meals! Great lunches for 2 consecutive days--a Thursday and a Friday--with easy seating. I had the "seat warmer" burger which was topped with bacon and ghost pepper cheese. Moist, hot, delicious, and the waffle fries were perfectly cooked. Not soft like Chik-fil-a, but firm yet not too crispy. Day two was the Ultimate Falafel sandwich. 4 large falafels with their tzatziki sauce in a large pita with a bit of garden fun. Tasty and filling, and I'm a big dude to fill up! Once again, great waffle fries. My friend had the Classic burger one day and some other burger with pineapple the day before. She too was pleased both days. We recommend it!

Food was good and served hot! Service was ok. It was busy and servers were understaffed.

Food was delicious! The chicken tenders were possibly the best we’ve ever had.

Seems like a great place to go see live shows! The venue is small, so you know the crowd knows who they're seeing or have some sort of knowledge about the performers. They have a decent amount of drink selections. I didn't get to try the food as we got there pretty late at night. I'm not sure if there are other places that play live music in the area but I do recommend this place for those who enjoy live music!
