“ Went with a friend for lunch! Food and service were just as amazing as the last time I was in there 5 years ago!! This place has been here since I was a child and had always had the best mushroom swiss burgers ever!! All of their burgers and food are FANTASTIC!!!! ”
“ A classic Neighborhood Bar, a rare thing these days, and definitely NOT fancy, Blue Wave has a long list of burgers - very good burgers - and a generous Happy Hour. I got mine to go, but will sit down next time. It's nice to experience that familiarity and comraderie that the staff has with each other, as well as with half the people who walk through the door. ”
