After spending a week cooped up in inside due to heavy snow and ice we ventured out to the nearby B. A. Colonial. We both decided on the southern melt which is a burger with pimento cheese. We both also opted for the broccoli salad as opposed to fries. The sandwich was on point but the broccoli salad was a bit more sweet this time. We topped it off with sharing a skillet cookie with ice cream. Service was very good and fortunately we got there early enough to avoid the crowd who came in as we left.
Great place to eat! Super cute, service was wonderful, and the ambiance is great. Not sure why the floor is sticky, but maybe that was just that day. Other than that, everything was great!
Great local spot for a Sunday brunch! The menu has classic americana offerings for brunch/lunch/dinner. We chose traditional brunch items including the BA breakfast plate (?) which was a lot of food! Everything was delicious! The service was great! We opted for inside seating but, there is also patio seating. Inside has mid-size TVs with a variety of sports televised. Definitely will be On repeat when in the area.
Group of 6 for a dinner reservation at 5 PM on a Saturday evening. We come here before shows across the street at the Iroquois Ampitheater, but we allow plenty of time, at least 2 hours. This allows us to park before it's crowded, have a leisurely beer or cocktail, and get our food order in before the kitchen gets slammed. Even so, we cut it very close on this visit because a few in our party decided to order dessert. The kitchen was prioritizing delivering entrees to customers, so even getting a slice of pie was a major ordeal at that point in the evening. Our server was WONDERFUL! She was kind, polite, and working like a champ. I doubled my tip because she deserved it after having to run interference between customers and the kitchen. Also, one of the guys who delivered food to our table was crabby and she tried to assist him with placing plates. We witnessed him being a bit of a passive aggressive jerk and she kept her composure. Food is standard American fare and pretty good. No complaints from anyone in our group ever. It would be nice if management staffed a full kitchen and service crew on evenings that events are scheduled at the Ampitheater. We WANT to give you our money! :)
We went here for burger week. Plenty of places to sit but we chose the bar. I had an issue with my salad and our server (also the bartender) took care of it immediately. The burger was good- I like a crispy smash burger. We were given a BW drink and loved it so much we ordered another! This location is a bit far from us, but we definitely have plans to return!
Great spot to enjoy a cocktail before a show across street from Iroqouis amphitheater. Awesome courtyard and live music weekend nights.
The B.A. Colonial is in the historic Colonial Gardens building, but it is well updated and modern. The menu is full of classic American items but it's all pretty good! Service is also good. There's a great patio too. Andddd there's a venue space upstairs! Additionally, B.A. does all sorts of cool stuff. Just this week, they're going a fundraiser with decor their customers painted for Derby, and if you took in a ticket from Churchill Downs yesterday, you could get a free old fashioned. They are super involved in the community and doing lots of engaging things, which makes it a five star for me!
We have eaten at BA Colonial many times. We have eaten lunch/dinner and also the brunch! All of the menu items have been amazing in my eyes. Pictured is the French roast, the breakfast sandwich with gravy and the cheeseburger and fries. The portion sizes are enough and more! Service is also very good as well. Each server has been welcoming and we have always gotten quick service.
