What once was known as a roc and docs (A dive bar) has been gracefully transformed into what feels like an upscale 90s rock experience for an affordable price. This place can easily rival O.I.G. or even the rail house. If your looking for something new with a precovid feel with great service do NOT look this place over. It is worth every penny and I highly recommend it.

This was our first time here and the food is amazing! The waitresses were all extremely friendly and attentive, and the food was even better. We all got a mixture of everything and it was all fantastic. My sister in law got shrimp Alfredo and the cook said she didn't like how the shrimp looked as it came out so she sent more to our table at no charge. How thoughtful is that? The pretzel and beer cheese is incredible. Would highly recommend to anyone and plan to come back again! Thank you ladies for a fantastic dinner and kudos to the chef. Everything was perfect. Thanks for being awesome.

Calm, nicely appointed restaurant with large portions, good quality mains et very reasonable prices. Christy provided efficient and prompt service. Recommendations: the delmonico steak with mushrooms for 32 (was huge). Mushrooms are extra but it comes with a salad and 2 sides. I tried the chicken Alfredo. Also huge. 20.

Great service and the food was excellent. We shared their new giant soft pretzel and Yuengling lager cheese. It was good but the mustard that came with it was out of this world! My dad and I each had a bowl of chili and my brother got a cheese steak. We were all very pleased with the food and our waitress was very sweet.

My wife and I absolutely love going to the Blackburn. We have been here about a half dozen times in the last year. Wish we went here more. The pizza is top notch and the other food is always on point. And I'm glad this app gives me an option to rate the atmosphere- the atmosphere is always fantastic. Bravo.

It was very busy but the staff really hussled. The food was excellent. We had the portobello mushroom sandwich, shrimp po'boy, and shrimp scampi. Really great. It was a really cold night and our table was in line with the door so it was a little chilly. Highly recommended!
