Review: BB Rovers
September 23, 2008
You might be thinking: BB Rovers? What is that? Well, it’s the best little dive bar in Austin if you ask me. We had the good fortune of stumbling across this hidden neighborhood gem when we moved to North Austin. Tucked in the back of same shopping center as Mongolian Grill (183 and Oak Knoll), BB Rovers features over 200 different beers. Most of these beers are in bottles, but there are at least 10 on tap. We’ll get back to the beer later, but first, let’s talk about the food.
BB Rovers has a decent vegetarian selection- pizzas, pasta primavera, soups, salads, nachos and guacamole salad. Unfortunately, none of it is particularly good. On a recent visit we had the nachos which arrived as a plate of chips topped with cheese and some jalepenos. There were no beans. No pico, no nothing, really. It could possibly be the worst nachos I’ve ever had. The guac is equally as disappointing. It’s got the taste and texture of that pre-made guac you buy in the grocery store.
