My husband and I ate here this past Friday night (4/12/13) and were seated right away. The parking situation isn't that great, but we lucked out with a person leaving their spot.
We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip with tri-colored tortilla chips; it was soo good, although I do prefer shredded chicken in the dip versus cubes. Still, I'd definitely order it again.
I ordered the Fish Tacos for dinner and loved them. There was a nice assortment of fillings and the fish was tasty. Only complaint is that the amount of fish they put in the actual tacos is pretty small. I only could eat one after sharing the dip with my husband!
My husband got some turkey pastry dish. He cleaned his plate...
This place is great for a casual meal and a good beer. We will definitely be back.
Yay I love the BBC! I am living right down the street from Falmouth Heights this winter because my SO is working in WoodsHole for a few months. Since having the baby we don't get out much and time of day depends on babies schedule.
Sometimes getting out on a Sunday afternoon and having a delectable pastry puff shepard pie on a cold winter day, sipping mad elf ale on tap, and watching a Pens game in the bar is all a tired lady's heart desires! We brought visiting friends here over New Years to sit at the huge picture window to watch the ocean with an empty beach and sip some dark and stormies to warm us that cold day. The atmosphere is casual and inviting and everyone has that positive, proud, energy living in such a coveted location. I would say order anything on the menu I have never had a complaint.
The summer is packed as expected but taking a motorcycle ride on a hot day up the coast, passing beach after beach then reaching your destination of mussels and a cold draft beer, well there's nothing like it! The selection is top notch and rotates frequently. After your visit take a walk and listen to the ocean waves and breathe in that salty sandy air.
Worst time I have ever had eating out. There was a guy at the table next to me and my girlfriend who, I am not kidding here, was talking about how his niece was in Penthouse and how he carried it around with him because he was so proud of her. My lady was sickened, justifiably, and so we asked them to be quiet. The man then proceeded to say that, if the place wasn't so packed, he would have to get in a fight with me. I laughed, and walked over to murder him, but my girl stopped me and told me to go to the manager, so we did. When we all looked over, the guy flipped off the manager and everyone at the restaurant. This scared the shit out of the manager, who in turn, made his toughest looking bouncer kick the guy out. The guy did not leave, the manager did nothing, and when he finally left, the guy parked behind my car. My lady and I asked the manager to ensure our safety, and he said a bouncer went outside and no one was there. Neither me or my lovely lady ate ANY of our meal, and not only where we not comped (even though the manager apologized a million times over, as did all the wait staff) but when we went outside, the guy was waiting for me, with a weapon.
I am still here, which should tell you how it turned out for that guy, but regardless, no establishment should put any of their customers in a position like that, and then to not comp the (frankly shitty) meal just made me hate them that much more. Almost glad I killed a guy in their parking lot.
BBC, you suck, on so many levels.
My review is strictly based on the service and drinks. I did not try the food. My friends and I were at the beach and wanted to grab a few drinks so we headed over to British Beer Co since it is right across the street. We were visiting the Cape so most of us were out of towners. The bartender came over to take our order and ID'd us all. Since we were out of towners though we had to show a second form of ID, according to her it was the state law of MA. Well since we were at the beach, I only had cash and my ID. So she would not serve me, even though I am way older than 21 and all of my friends were able to order. She insisted it was a state law and there was no way around it. This was annoying but I thought meh okay fine I am not going to let it ruin our time. However, she proceeded to ignore us and then when my friend ordered a drink special that was written on the board, the bartender told her that there were no specials and she was unable to make her that drink... ummm really?... then why is it written on the board? She was terrible, and really ruined our experience at this place, we left after one drink. By the way, I was never asked for a second form of ID while in MA- so much for her "state law" comment.
Review Source:We have eaten here for telve years, so I am sorry to say they have lost the food again. Â It was not crowded last night and still my food was luke warm. Â The roasted potatos were over done and dry. The fish topping was just beyond brown nad the squash was good. Last time I was there my fried clams were served cold. Â they still have location, a great bar and the ocean. I will have to stick to hamburgers until this gets straightened out. Â It has happened before.
Review Source:The food was delish and the sweet potatoe fries were so crispy! I got the chipotle chicken avocado BAP and sweet potato fries. We ordered take out so I don't know what the sit down service was like, but the atmosphere was chill and relax. The music was great. The prices were very reasonable. We ordered our food w/ the hostess; she seemed a bit stressed but remained professional. I would definitely go back; and recommend BBC to my friends and family.
Review Source:LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE!!! = pure heaven and it did not skimp on the lobster. Â Many fat claw chunks in there and almost every bite had at least a mid-size chunk. Â My fiance and I had to split the plate because the portion is so huge. Â Fabbo food and drink selection, my son actually ATE his meal (very rare when we go out to eat). View can't be beat. Â We love it there :)
Review Source:There's a good combination of pub food and dinner fare here. Something for everyone and they have a gluten free menu. Buy one get one free pizza on tuesdays in the winter. I like their selection of beer and cider and the atmosphere is pretty low key in the winter. In the summer this place is incredibly crowded, but in the winter you can typically get a seat quickly. Still, it can be worth the wait for some reasonably priced pub food that is also tasty.
Review Source:The view at this addition to the BBC line is AMAZING.
For the most part, two of these stars comes from the layout and view, especially on a nice sunny day, when you can walk outside directly onto the beach.
The food is pretty classic pub fare... I'll put it this way. When I asked about a pot pie they had, the waitress told me everyone she knew who ordered it had sent it back, and then when I ordered my second choice, a Thanksgiving-style turkey pasty, it was sliced deli turkey, instant-tasting mashed potatoes, and mashed up cornbread for stuffing inside.... with a side of canned cranberry sauce and slightly stale potato chips.... Also, my black and tan had ZERO definition and was blended together... Boo.
On the other hand, the Clam Chowder wasn't half bad (and thats from a life long coastal new englander.)
So, unfortunately I was laid off back in the beginning of December, which is why I am able to write a lot more reviews than I normally would.. Â Todays review, The BBC in Falmouth, Mass. Â I got up this morning, gorgeous out and decided to hop in the car and drive. Â I made my war from Pawtucket, RI to Falmouth, Mass right to the waters edge. Â I made my way down the beach and in to the BBC. Â The inside decor is rather run down, borderline hideous, but the outside view is spectacular. Â I was about to order the turkey with mayo/cranberry dressing and stuffing.. Â However, the bartender suggested the soup and turkey sandwich at half the price. Â So, I took him up on it. Â I got my food very quickly, which I am always a little skeptical when food comes out so quickly. Â In this case, no reason to be, the soup was a beef barley, little heavy on the salt, but overall very delicious. Â The sandwich was very good. Â I would say the mayo/cranberry dressing tasted more like a honey mustard sauce but it was very good. Â I enjoyed a Sam Adams Noble Pilsner with my lunch and it was delicious. Â I would definitely recommend the BBC.. Â Side Note.. Â Bartender was an older gentlemen, very friendly and supplied very good service.
Review Source:What can I say? I loved it here, right down to the little Union Jack flags they stuck in my delicious veggie wrap. Everything was fresh and made to order. The atmosphere is what I hoped it would be... as close to an authentic English pub as possible with fantastic views of the ocean. The only downfall was the shortage of parking.
Review Source:We stopped by on a rainy Saturday and the place was a perfect compensation for the miserable weather outside. Â Our server, a charming lady in thickly framed glasses, let us know with a smirk that the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg rimmed glass of Shipyard Pumpkinhead is affectionately known as "the rim job." Â She also was quick to offer me a free sampler of a beer before I decided to order a full pint. Â The draft list was much better than most and while we didn't order much food, what we ordered was amazing: a mountain of nachos crowned with a tortilla-boat of salsa.
Review Source:Before reading this, just remember that British Beer Co (BBC) is what it is - a pub style restaurant. Thus, you'll find no shortage of fried options. Â With that disclaimer out of the way, we really enjoyed this place tonight. After all the years spending weeks on end every summer here in Falmouth, we've never given this local haunt a try. If you're like us, I strongly suggest you make this a stop on one of your next nights out.
We arrived with three kids and six adults, ranging in age from 39-84, one of whom has a gluten-restricted diet, and BBC had something for everyone - healthy options and let's say less health conscious alike. We all shared the nachos (awesome!) and the lettuce wraps, both of which were excellent. Personally, I opted for their pizza  with a whole wheat crust and I'm here to say that it's one of the best pizzas on the Cape - I did not expect that!  My wife's gluten-free pizza was excellent too, enough so that she said upon leaving that we now have a gluten-free source for summers to come.  Everyone else had fish and chips, lobster and a couple other dishes and all raved about their meal, including the kids who all had something different and all raved too.
The BBC has a great selection of beers, but when a couple of us tried to veer off and get some cocktails, it was disappointment all around. Clearly mixed drinks are not their strong suit. Try their extensive beer selection, though, and you'll be very pleased.
One note that was likely an issue of timing and probably not endemic to their operation, but they were out of a few favorites that we wanted to order. Our server explained that they had been without power for several days due to hurricane Irene, and hence the limited selections. Otherwise, the menu is pretty extensive and worth trying out.
I don't know what some people are talking about on here but I have been to this British Beer Co. restaurant three times now and every single time I have had a great experience.
The first time I came here I had the fish and chips and my friend ordered the personal pizza. The beer battered fish was the size of the plate and it came with seasoned fries, onion rings and coleslaw. Needless to say I couldn't finish the entire thing so I brought some of it home with me. I also had a cup of the clam chowder which was some of the best on the Cape. I tried a piece of my friends pizza and it was perfect.
The second time I went, again I had the clam chowder and then for dinner had the Pot Roast dinner. I have never had pot roast melt in my mouth like this meat did. The gravy added a nice texture to the meat along with the nicely sauted veggies. Overall its the best pot roast I have ever had. My friend had the pizza and got the 2nd one free because it was tuesday.
I would go here again and again because the food is fabulous and the beers are great. Those who talk bad about this place should be a little more specific since saying it was fair or bad is a cop out and more than likely false information.
BBC is a pub which is connected to the Seaside Inn in Falmouth. Pretty nice view of the ocean across the street. In many ways it's a very typical New England pub, but personally I think it's a notch above most other places.
The food quality was really very good, with everything having just a little something to set it apart from typical bar food. Excellent fries (and fried sweet potato slices), but everyone is all about the onion rings here. We tried the appetizer sampler, and pretty much everything was delicious. The food was also very good, and everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Our waitress was polite and attentive enough, but nothing special to note about the service here. Even though this place is a bit out of the way, it does get pretty busy at dinner time.
The appeal of the British Beer Company was too much to pass up on a recent Falmouth trip. Â My friends like pub food, it was close to our weekend accommodations, and I'm always excited to try a new gluten-free friendly place.
I ordered the North End pizza assuming I'd get a small pizza that I'd have no trouble finishing. Â The pizza was large (good), but the crust was not...crusty. Â It was actually kind of gummy and dense. Â Yes, it was gluten-free, but the industry has made SO MUCH progress over the past few years and so many places do gluten-free pizza so well that many of my dining companions can hardly taste a difference. Anyway, I could only finish a few slices before I had to give up.
Our waitress must have been having a rough night, because she made some salty comment about my pizza being "as good as it gets for gluten-free, right?" Â Um, actually, no.
Everyone else liked their meals, and the bar was quite busy later on in the evening. Â There was dancing and Sox game watching and 9 Falmouth cop cars showed up when a fight broke out. Â All in all, an eventful evening.
Ruben is great w/ onion rings of course! Service is great. Our server notified us just before our meal was about to come out that our appetizer was put in wrong & would be coming out with the meal.
 So why am I only giving it 3-stars? The beer selection is (more) limited & much more expensive than my local BBC (in Framingham, MA). I guess that's what you get for going to a chain in a tourist spot (on the Cape).
The food as always was great. I got the fish n chips. It was AMAZING. Nice and crispy and fried perfectly. The fries were great and sweet and the onion rings were crispy and perfectly battered. Not a bad deal for $13
The place still has some of the best pizza in town. The Buffalo and BBQ chicken pizzas are just awesome. The sweet potato fries are addicting and the wings always hit the spot right. They added BBQ finally. Â
Their steak tips are pretty juicy and filling. Always cooked and cut right with a great marinade.
Most drafts cost around $4 and up. They have a hell of a selection. The Cape Cod draft is a interesting choice. They always have a great selection of English brews (hence British Beer Co) and mix drinks.
Check it out if staying in the area and want a fun place to go. Like I said before in my previous post, they are connected to a nice place to stay over called the Seaside Inn, very nice spot. Right by the beach and other shops and restaurants. Â They always have live music mostly every night in the summer. Â Flydown is the top act to see. Always a good and fun show when they perform. Â Easily the best place in Falmouth for a night out with friends or looking to pick up someone.
I'm sure if our needs were for a pub or just for eating dinner, this place would've been fine. However, we were in search of nightlife which is incredibly hard to find in March on the cape.
the BBC came recommended to us by a number of different people. When we arrived, there was a band playing hard rock - some songs more familiar than others. For example, they closed with rage against the machine's "killing in the name"....awkward....
They get three stars instead of two because its located right on the beach and because their staff is attentive and their beer selection is great. In terms of fun though, it really only gets one star.
This is the first in my series of reviews of pizza-serving establishments on the upper Cape. Â Nice location on the beach near Falmouth Heights. Â We rolled in here at 6:30 pm on 'buy-one-get-one' night and waited 20 minutes for a table. Â Meantime, we sampled a couple of their draught brews: Â Dogfish 90 minute IPA and a Seadog Hazelnut Porter. Â The beers were quite good and barkeeps attentive.
Sitting down, we debated the specialty pies among our group and settled on four: the 'Fenway' (sausage, onions, peppers), a spinach mushroom job, the 'Wowee Mowee' (chorizo and pineapple), and the 'Over 21' (sliced beef, onion, green peppers, drizzled with bourbon). Â Bottom line, in each case the crust was thin and sodden. Â The table also reached consensus that the spinach mushroom and Over 21 were overly sweet; little or no tomato sauce left them without acid or tang. Â The other two were better, but the lack of decent crust was an insurmountable hurdle.
Here's hoping there's better pizza than this on the Cape.
The sandwiches are okay; I like their reuben. Sometimes there's live music, and all of the crusty Cape townies come out in their mid-life-crisis splendor to bop around and puke off the boardwalk. The waitstaff is really attentive and the bartenders are speedy and skilled. (It's best in the summer, when all the kids are busting their asses to pay fall's tuition.)
One time I watched an elderly guy totter out the front door, across the street, and fall clean off the boardwalk onto the sand while I was walking my dog; I went to help him up and he offered me a hit off his blunt. BBC gets extra points for that alone.
I love this place. We were there this past Fri. night. Seated promptly. Sarah was our waitress and she was delightful. I had the Bourbon Steak tips, YUMMY! The sides were butternut squash, I would order it for dessert, it was so very good. Also had some sort of green beans with a batter coating, loved those. My hubby had the Prime rib, it was okay but according to him, not memorable. We had our first date there 9 years ago so this is a special place for us.
Review Source:lordy lordy this place fits me like a shoe! Delicous yet unpretentous and fun always at the bar, game or no game.. Â suggest steak tips, ruben sandwch, Â any of the pizza ( amazing pizza) or a good night at the bar with a close bunch of friends. ( I ran into my 3rd grade teacher there!)
Good for lunch or dinner and never too busy. Good for kids and groups, the service is perfect and friendly and staff is very knowledable.
Must try in Falmouth
This place is super duper towney Cape. Except for the fact that its named the British Beer Co. that's not very  Capey'. The location is perfect. And when you are starving and want to pound a few beers, here's the place to do it. The people there have been there forever and know what they're doing. The brie appetizer and salad selection is something serious.
If you are going to be on the Cape may I suggest trucking it to Turo or P-town? but if you somehow land in Falmouth this place will not disappoint.
Nothing better than going to a good towny bar on a shitty Cape Cod weekend. So good in fact, go there every night that you are staying in Falmouth. We were right down the street on Falmouth Heights and this happened to be the only close pub. I've been to the BBC in Plymouth so I knew we were in luck. The actual British beer selection was lacking but they did have Fullers Pale Ale on tap. And they do not disappoint on the Scotch selection, they had (and I had) several of my favorites. They have a huge flat screen and plenty of Sox fans to make any game worth hanging around for. And from what I can tell they have cover bands playing at least 4 nights a week, which is well, ummm, entertainment for no cover.
Review Source:This place is perfect on a winter day on the Cape. Every time I visit my folks I must make a trip to the BBC. I love the Dahk & Stohmy cocktail (ginger beer +dark rum) with the fish & chips. Though their beer selection (British of course) is also excellent. You can sit in the warm pub and look out over the gray Vineyard Sound. Some days you can see Martha's Vineyard out in the distance.
Family members swear by the sirloin stew and clam chowder, too. But I don't see any reason not to eat the fish & chips every time. They even come in Queen and King size. Beer battered. Perfect.
Mmmm love the BBC! Â They're a small chain, actually, with a place in Plymouth that I tend to favor over the Falmouth location, but mmm tasty. Â Agree with the previous poster - the quotes are hysterical! Â And the pizza - yum. Â I like the chicken broccoli & ziti pizza myself! Â The only downside is the wait (what else would you expect being located smack dab in the middle of Falmouth Heights Beach) and the occasionally subpar staff (typical for a vacation spot).
Review Source:I went to this place for the first time this weekend, and the food was amazing. Â (The chowder was to die for!) Â The atmosphere is great. Â There are hilarious quotes all over the walls. Â My favorite: "I may be drunk, but you're ugly and I can sober up." Â It is pretty kid friendly, so if that's your scene, head over there between 5-8pm. Â The best part is that it's right across from the beach, so whether you've been tanning all day or just want a great view, it's the place to be.
