In Short
Mostly families and groups fill the large dining room at this laid-back, loud and hip restaurant. Colorful walls are decked with funky paintings and posters. Choose from an array of meats, crisp vegetables, oils and spices. Throw it all in a bowl and ask the people at the grill to stir fry it for you. The chefs are armed with swords as their primary cooking utensils and can be as flavorful as the dishes.

Loved the food... I am a fanatic

by SWH2005

I went her last week and I absolutely loved it. Loud and fun is how I would describe it. I went with my family and my children loved it. I wanted to buy a shirt or a pint glass but I didn't see where they are for sale. After googling it I did find some stuff on ebay and I am in the process of bidding for some bd's stuff. I am bd's ultimate fan!!!

• Pros: Fun. Lively, Eat what you want
• Cons: None that I saw

Date night, a night out with friends, or lunch with the kids...Great place

by Shellyshem

I went to BD's with a lunch date once and we had a great time. The food was excellent...you pick your own mix so it really is your fault if it isn't good! The place is very relaxed for lunch and quieter than evening time. My date and I went back a few weeks later for a weekend lunch with our pre-teen children. We had a blast with the kids. They really enjoyed picking the food, watching them cook it and ringing the gong. It got busy by the time we were finishing our "seconds" but not too bad. Finally, we went back a third time, on a Friday night, with another couple during an evening when the Blue Jackets were playing. To say it was crowded would be an understatement. It was packed and loud. That said, they kept the food bins full, they had plenty of cooks and servers on hand and things kept moving. We ate well and had a great time. Park in the Arena Grand garage and ask your server to be sure and give you a receipt. Your parking will be free.

• Pros: Fun, Good food, "Free" parking
• Cons: Can get loud

Great fun selecting your meats/veggies/seasonings etc then watching it get grilled before your very eyes! Service can be a little hit-or-miss, and there can be quite a wait at peak times. Often rather noisy, with kids getting a bit carried away, 'Happy Birthday' being sung, etc etc, this probably isn't a great place for a first date or romantic event.

• Pros: V. fresh ingredients., Fun., Parking/location.
• Cons: Noisy.

Wow!

by megansnewlife

I found that BD's has a great atmosphere and very friendly environment. It could be because I was there with someone special but nevertheless it was great. I've told all my friends about it and even some strangers. I will be going back. Go!

• Pros: Entertaining, Great Food, Friendly
• Cons: , Bigger Space

great date

by chic05chick

Probably not great for a first date, but for friends and for a fun date dinner at BD's was great. The stir fry was good and the staff was excellent. You basically make your own meal by choosing a meat veggies and sauce then have it cooked right in front of you. It was very filling and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

• Pros: atmosphere, selection, service
