"This was my first visit to Bo Mac's. I had ridden by on my bicycle many times without ever noticing that this place existed, but my spouse visited with a friend and recommended it. I visited on a Saturday late morning, one in a group of hungry cyclists halfway through a 60-mile bicycle ride. It was just passed opening, and we were the first customers of the day. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and we ordered a variety of entrees for lunch. I also managed to find a draft beer that I had not previously tasted, which is no small feat. I had the mushroom and bleu cheese burger with their signature potato pancakes side. (For the record, these are not conventional potato pancakes that you might order at a breakfast place. Instead they are mashed potatoes, savory with herbs, and fried pancake style on a griddle. This is a description, not a criticism. The burger and potato pancakes were both very tasty. Colleagues ordered the pork tenderloin, salmon sandwich Reuben. Everyone in the group expressed satisfaction with their choices. We ate outside in the spacious and shady patio area, which features a raised platform for live music performances which generally occur weekly, weather permitting."

"Alright, let's unpack this dining experience. The salmon we ordered was undeniably top-tier, a real culinary delight. However, things took a turn when we requested a vegetable substitution for the rice pilaf. To our surprise, not only did they bring out the asparagus we asked for but also an unexpected side of carrots. Initially, this seemed like an impressive over-delivery. But confusion set in with the bill. There was an unexpected $20 charge. Instead of a simple veggie swap, we found ourselves billed separately for both the asparagus and carrots. No prior notice, no explanation. And to add to the frustration, the cost of the rice pilaf, which we didn't receive, wasn't deducted. Addressing this issue, the response was perplexing, making our request seem unusual. It's basic customer service to communicate additional charges or changes. Especially when you're shelling out $200 for a meal, transparency and clarity in billing are paramount. The exceptional cuisine was overshadowed by the service inconsistencies. I still left a 20% tip, excluding the unexpected charges, but this experience left room for improvement. Future visits should ideally match the food quality with the service."

"Come get the Gyro. Seriously, if you like a real good big city Gyro come to this place. The sauce to meat proportions are perfect. Everything is cooked just right. You can eat there if you want, but takeout is quick and easy so I prefer it. The factthat it?s a great bang for your buck is just an added bonus. I would still eat here if they charged double."
