Boulevard Bbq - Burnham

Really bad experience. Family had dined here with previous owners twice and really thought the food was excellent, raved about it! Said they wanted to take us week of Thanksgiving after holiday shopping all day. Walked in and saw Seat Yourself sign. Right behind us was a guy carrying in a case of beer. Turns out he was the DJ for Karaoke night that we had been unaware of. As it was still early, we figured it wouldnt start until later like most bars so we had a seat. We were greated by a lovely but very harried server 10 minutes later who asked if anyone had been by. Then 10 minutes later by what appeared to be the owner, but at that point the server returned. There were 4 tables in the dining room. Four. Why were they so in the weeds?? There were 2 young ladies bussing tables when they got up in the bar and dining room. With only FOUR tables, maybe teach one of them to serve? A guy who appeared to be bartending was just standing around chatting with a few barflies. His arms didn't appear broken. Not sure why he couldn't wait on and clear any tables in the bar and still provide great service at the non- busy bar too. Someone later said they didn't have a liquor licence but you could bring your own. So again....what was the guy doing behind the bar? Visiting? We ordered 5 wings, a side salad, and 2 brisket sandwhich plates with fries. 20 minutes later the food arrived, which was fine if it was good. Unfortunately, the wings were burnt on ends, the brisket was extremely dry, and the fries on both plates were neither crispy nor hot. No way they were fried to order. The side salad that required no cooking was good. The person who recommended this place was very apologetic as he didnt enjoy his food either and said it was nothing like before. Then the karaoke started. Loudly. Not just in the bar, but the speaker was placed near the front door so the elderly couples in the dining room couldn't hear to talk amongst themselves. As they finished and left, I saw no one else come into the dining room once karaoke started. And the karaoke was so so bad. Ear bleeding. I highly recommend tickets to the Mifflin Juniata Concert series at the high school if you want to hear decent singing in Lewistown. And our night ended sitting next to 3 dirty tables while we noticed the 2 previous bussers singing their best karaoke songs. Not our thing. Won't be back. It's a shame. I think they are trying hard but its not working. Nice people.
