Always a good time. It’s a local favorite and I always run into someone I know. I wish you could order the burgers to level of doneness and the staff was a little slow. Food was tasty though and they have a large accommodating menu.

Come here for the drinks but skip the food. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Bloody Mary bar was delish– definitely recommend going with their Mary mix instead of the commercial garbage. Spot on! As for the food; burgers, fries, and tots were all overcooked. I’ll definitely be coming back for drink specials though!

Decent bar food. My husband had the wings and said they were great! Good prices as well. The only negative is that they seem understaffed. It was packed when we arrived and the few empty tables they had were still piled with dishes, the bartender finally cleared one for us, he also ended up waiting on us and taking care of all of the patrons sitting at the bar. He was very courteous though but could have definitely used another person so he didn’t have to wear all of the hats.

I came here after the spam museum. Of course I wanted their spam burger! It was surprisingly tasty, though it lacked mayo (guess you have to ask for it). The fries were frozen; arrived hot but bland. My wife ordered the fried chicken, which was overcooked and chewy. I think I would pass on this place unless you want a spam burger.
The place is more bar than restaurant, with a healthy dose of what seem to be regulars. Great beer selection on tap. Definitely a bit on the loud side (conversations mores than music). Service was nice and friendly.
Bathrooms were clean and well equipped (two urinals and one toilet).
All in all, I’m not overly impressed with anything but the spam burger.

Yummy food, cool drinks, fine folk and steps from the SPAM museum. What more could you ask for?!? We are so glad that we found this gem! Thanks bartender Ben for a great time at B&J. We are definitely stopping the next time we’re in town!

Stopped in after visiting the Spam Museum to try a Spam Burger. It was great! We all enjoyed the Spam Burger, also had some cheese curds, which were good. Had a Virgin Bloody Mary and friend had an iced tea. Would recommend this place for a chill place to enjoy a Spam Burger!

Stopped in for lunch last week before my meeting started and mainly was there to try my first ever SPAM burger. The place was crowded and they do have free popcorn which is a nice feature while you wait for your meal. I can honestly say that the grilled spam burger with cheese, onion, lettuce, and tomato was quite good and I really didn’t notice that it was spam. Not sure if it was due to being grilled or that all the toppings covered up the spam burger but I would not be afraid to order it again next time I am in Austin. The fries were very good or at least done the way I like them crunchy and salty. They do not have WiFi unless you can steal it from a neighbor.

This is a great bar in downtown Austin populated by young professionals. The service is great — they are attentive, friendly, and consistent.
The menu consists of typical bar food (not bad, but nothing special). Drinks are mixed well, there’s a nice selection of beers, and prices are good. Several TVs for watching the big game but not so many as to be distracting.
This is a fun place to relax after work or before a show at the Paramount… and there’s a patio for outdoor drinking/dining in the summer, a feature that many bars and restaurants in Austin are missing.

Visiting from San Diego. Good crowd and the only place to go to in Austin anymore for the 30ish crowd. Good popcorn. ;)
