    Excellent service, delicious food, nice atmosphere (even if loud at times). Best brunch we’ve had in a long time! Staff went out of their way to make it easy for our 92 year old birthday lady, thank you!

    OBC Kitchen was great. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. We could have made a meal out of the appetizers alone. The entrees were delicious and my sister from out of town loved the shrimp and grits. We will definitely go again!
