My 5 yr old grandson is a huge fan of BP, so on our roadtrip we made it a point to stay at a nearby hotel so we could visit. It did not disappoint!! Dinner was delicious, the atmosphere is amazing--so much more than our BP in AZ. He loved the carousel!

At MA's, get the black Angus king club sandwich to go, with broccoli and cheese soup for dipping. The lid on the box can barely stay shut! The Reuben is outstanding also. I work at Bass Pro Shops and I live very close, so these two places are...
