Blue 42 Sports Grille & Bar — Restaurant in Dickinson

I'll start off by saying the atmosphere for what they're going for is great. It's a sports bar with a bunch of HD Televisions, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. I had a burger while my girlfriend ordered their chicken tenders. For a $12 burger I would expect one of two things: 1. It is a big enough portion size to make it worth the price 2. The burger is good tasting to make it worth the price. The burger did neither, it was very bland, and the size was probably around a 1/4 pound. The fries were very well seasoned though. I did try some of my girlfriend's chicken tenders, and dear god they were a disappointment. The breading tasted like absolutely nothing. The chicken under the breading wasn't seasoned at all. So, it just ended up tasting like bland chicken breast. And to top it all off it wasn't even a chicken tender. It was quite literally a cut piece of chicken breast that wasn't tender at all. You really had to bite into it to get something off it. Now considering all of that, I don't entirely hate blue 42. The atmosphere was nice, and I really like the design of the restaurant. I obviously wasn't able to try all of the food so there could be some hidden gems in there somewhere. But with the food being really overpriced and fairly mediocre, I can't really see myself going...

Atmosphere was basic like a Buffalo Wild Wings, clean but basic. Service must have been new staff, lady had no idea what was on tap and only visited us once at the end of our meal to refill drinks. The amount of her tip sadly reflected her service. The menu seemed interesting but the food lacked luster. The Brie was half melted/warm and the spicy jelly it was served with was watery and had little flavor. The wings are nothing to reminisce over and as far as the main course goes well, let’s just say if you tried to sell a Philadelphia Cheesesteak like that in Philly your likely to get tarred,feathered and ran out of town. Seriously it was an embarrassment to see that poor dry pathetic thing sitting there on my plate looking like a sad neglected unwanted french Fry at the bottom of a dirty oven. It’s like the owners have never tasted Pats or Gino’s. And on top of that I asked for no peppers due to allergies and what do I find on my sandwich, peppers. It wasn’t all bad, them waffle fries were on point! Won’t be visiting again though not even for them over priced icy cold $5 dollar domestic tap beers. 2 stars for the waffle fries and...

I can see why the Blue 42 is so busy. Their menu is extensive and covers a vast array of tastes for one's pallet. It was suggested to me to try the PB and J Burger, yes, I thought the same thing, but HOLY COW, the flavors are amazing from the PB, pepper jelly, bacon, jalapenos, and cheese.

We also enjoyed a few appetizers, the Frickles are a pleasant combination of meat and cheese with pickles lightly fried and served with a dipping sauce. The cheese curds are good, about the same as most places in the area. Now their Brei cheese appetizer, yet again a tease to the taste buds. A chuck of brei warmed to melting served drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette and a side of pistachio pesto with toasted crostini bread.

Clean and fun atmosphere, clean restrooms and amazing staff. They also give an amazing military discount for the veteran or service members meal only, but it is 50% off.

As I always say in reviews of amazing places, this location is worth a fifty mile detour to experience their...
