BLD Chandler

"OK, OK, maybe too soon (since this is my 1st visit), but BLD is now my new favorite breakfast place. Friday mid-morning breakfast & no problem getting seated right away. Coffee and water, as soon as we got seated then it took us a few minutes to pick due to so many delicious choices. Cajun Shrimp and grits immediately caught my eye, but our server said the braised rib Benedict was her favorite, and it sounded just too good to pass up. She was right - it was amazing! My wife opted for the turkey sausage scramble and was blown away with the sweetness of the white sweet potatoes; delicious breakfast. My grandson split an order of Belgium waffles with egg & bacon and they both killed it. Excellent service, outstanding food, an exciting menu with innovative choices all make for a great new breakfast spot - and the also serve lunch and drinks."

"Came for brunch to try out the newer menu. Our server was really friendly. It took a very long time for our food to come out but our server kept filling up our coffee and letting us know that our food was coming soon. When it finally arrived, my order was wrong: I had ordered a BLD breakfast quesadilla with no meat, and it came out with meat in it. Our server noticed this and offered it to me anyway. I hated to send it back but I haven't eaten meat in 35 years. They remade it, but by the time they brought out my fixed order, my husband had finished his meal (I encouraged him not to wait for me because his burrito would have gotten cold.) The manager stopped by and apologized but did nothing to rectify the poor experience. The food was fine. Advice: 1) Move the hostess station away from the front door so people don't have stand in the doorway blocking the entrance/exit. 2) Get new plates. They look worn. 3) If there's a service issue, do something to smooth it over (take the coffee off the tab, offer a 10% discount, etc.) For us, the experience was not worth the $54 we paid for brunch for two."

"Just an average breakfast spot. The service was amazing! They have a high top bar area - and traditional seats. I think it would be great for a big party (recommend calling ahead) Coffee was mediocre. We ordered a latte and it was lukewarm. Star of breakfast: donut tower! Old fashioned cinnamon sugar donuts, warm and fresh!! Chicken fried steak: 10/10 BLTA with home fries: 8/10"

"Honest review! First things first, service has been very slow here the last few times we have visited. The waitresses have no sense of urgency in wanting to greet their tables. It wasn’t busy at all and we waited some time before we even got our drinks. Food was good and presentation was nice. I think their breakfast is definitely best. I didn’t appreciate the 3 percent fee they charge for using a card to pay. Even debit cards. I’ve honestly never seen that done before by a restaurant. Overall, this place is mediocre. It probably wouldn’t be my first choice of recommendation. If they could work on better and faster service I might feel differently. Going out to eat is an experience from start to finish."

"This morning a group of 12 of us enjoyed breakfast together at BLD. I hadn’t been here since the restaurant first opened, several years ago. It’s a very casual spot with a nice patio, and the bar, which sits between the dining room and the patio, gave the restaurant a nice indoor/outdoor feel. Our server was on point and efficient. Very friendly! For breakfast I ordered the Mavacado Sunrise on sourdough toast with a side of bacon. I enjoyed this breakfast! My eggs were perfect and the bacon was crispy. The only thing I wish it had had would be fresh avocado instead of guacamole. Otherwise, it was a tasty, light, meal."
