Sorry to tell you, but if you think B dubs is cheap, the prices must have went way up since you left. It is probably one of the most expensive bar and grill's out there. Especially if you are partaking in the many beers. They started in Columbus, OH. The original building is still there but I am not sure it is still a BW3. The company got bought by the group that owns Arby's about a year ago. It's possible the rule is being enforced at a higher level than the individual locations have control over.
That being said, I still love their food. I just don't go that often because it is so expensive.
