My husband and I went here for an anniversary dinner. First time here so I went online and made reservations. When we arrived no one had greeted us so we walked up to someone and told them we had a reservation. They seated us outside and that was nice. You have a nice view of the street and buildings across the street. Then the wait..one waitress goes and helps another couple who came after us meanwhile we waited for someone to "notice us". Were wrong invisible? Then someone did. This place didn't feel welcoming. Food tasted okay. Also overpriced for alot of things. I expected more to be honest. The only part I enjoyed was spending that time with my husband. Most likely won't revisit based on the fact we were being ignored most of the time. Also there wasn't many people there, it was a Sun
This was our first time visiting BanC house, and we were impressed with so many things here! First, the menu is incredible. There are so many great choices, some unique ones at that, and it was nice to see how many gluten-friendly options there were too. Whether you’re looking for BBQ or seafood, you’re in for a treat. Everything is fresh, and the portions are extremely generous for the price! We felt like we were eating somewhere down south with how exceptional the bbq dishes were. The service also stood out to us - not only were the servers attentive, but we also tried the crab legs, and the they were kind enough to show us the best way to eat them. Very nice vibe in the dining room, and the covered patio and bar areas looked cozy too. All around a great experience!
Loved the idea of a bbq/seafood fusion, unfortunately our first visit was a let down. We ordered the crab cakes, hot lobster roll and the Asian short rib. Only one we would order again would be the beef. Lobster roll was $37 for 4oz with a few pieces of cartilage in the meat, no good pieces and dry. Crab cakes reminded us of thanksgiving stuffing with minimal small pieces of crab here and there. Potatoes with the short rib needed more butter and came out not that warm, same as the carrots, bourbon was overkill on carrots as well. The short rib and the sauce on that was very good, otherwise rather bummed for what we paid for. Also, wasn’t busy but plates took long to get picked up off the table, making the table cluttered. Atmosphere and music were enjoyable.
Graham is theeee best bartender - waiter - best all around customer service!! Banc House has a great menu and food is top notch. The cocktails are also great that Graham pours. Everything at Banc House keeps us coming back.
I was recommended to eat here by a buddy of mine who said the best BBQ spot around. Now, when I went, it was around 12p. on a Friday. Friendly staff, but the food was slightly warm, not really hot as if it was freshly made. I sat on the outside, which has a nice vibe, but the chairs are really not made for the slightly overweight person. Never encountered that at a restaurant. It was me and two others, which they agreed the chairs were very uncomfortable to sit in on the exterior. The food was a 7 out of 10 in my books. I have to try it again as my first experience wasn't what I thought it would be. The waiter forgot to put in the order for my buddy, which made it disrespectful for my other buddy and I to start eating when our food arrived at the table. I really do think I have to give
