Bombers Burrito Bar

Typical college hangout. Happy hour from 11am-7pm everyday? Yes. Delicious margaritas (I prefer the frozen ones). The burritos are delicious, especially the Jerk Chicken. If I just want a small snack and a few drinks before dinner, I get one of the fries with toppings on the list - usually Piggy fries or Chili Cheese fries.

The upstairs area has a bar and tables but only 21+ are allowed upstairs after a certain time.. probably 9pm? Like any other restaurant on a weekend, it's difficult to get a table for a large group of people.

I think the bar has a very awkward set up and the food just isn't that good. The burritos at chipotle are much more fresh, and much better.

The atmosphere upstairs is loud...very loud at night. When you first arrive upstairs it's hard to locate the greeter. Once you do find her, theres a long wait for a table (which isn't by itself a bad thing). Then when you finally get seated, you will get scarce and indifferent-service from your waitress. If you forgot to ask her for water, ketchup, SILVERWARE, you're shit-out-of-luck, because you usually won't see her until it's time for the check. You'll see her 3 times, when she gets your drinks, when she brings your food, and she kicks your ass out for the next hungry mouth.

You're going to want to make this the second stop on your pub-crawl, when everyone in your party is already buzzed, you all are about to have the drunk-munchies, and none of you will care if you're being neglected/rushed by service, because you have other places to go to.

About the food, it's drunk eats. Its a step up from fast food, but a step down from fast-casual. The wings are really their only standout item (if the sauces are mixed correctly). The BBQ Tofu items are all good, and occasionally I find myself craving them. The pulled pork lately has been dry...though maybe it's just the timing of when I order it.

Due to the "service" I no longer eat upstairs. They under-staff it; I can't imagine that they look for crappy wait staff on purpose. Why would I pay extra for rushed service, in the form of an undeserved tip, when I can get the same food downstairs without the premium? I usually order take out, or eat downstairs. Sometimes the kitchen seems to lose my order in the shuffle...but when have you not been to a fast food joint that occasionally screws up?

I don't hate Bombers, but I don't love it either.
