From a long list of homemade sausages to the double cut Berkshire pork chop, Chef JPeter Botcher’s meat-centric menu keeps B&B overflowing with happy customers. If you can’t score a reservation, the beer garden is open year-round (it’s enclosed and heated in the winter, perfect for those who can’t deal with the subzero temps), and serves amazing footlong hot dogs, cocktails and brewskis. The Hennepin Avenue Manhattan, made with Maker’s Mark and elderflower, is worth the trip alone.
