Great wagyu burgers, good quality and taste. The smash burger and fatty fries is my favorite combo.
Your bartender Saturday 3rd of January ruined the impression I had of your establishment. I asked for a house wine when I walked in. I get it you’re busy. But maybe hire someone faster this isn’t the first time I’ve seen slow bartenders there. I patiently waited only to receive a weird vibe from the guy. I then said I wanted to spin the $7 drink game. I explained I don’t drink beer, and that’s only because I’m gluten intolerant, not because I was being picky or difficult. He said , “ Then don’t PLAY!” What a rude answer! Just have common sense, it would’ve been another $7 or more plus the wings I planned to get. You guys lost my business!!! And I’m only one person , but I planned to take friends here. Your loss! Don’t be rude.
We were visiting during the 4th of July holiday. This place is ways busy so we were surprised to get in with very little wait in less than 5 minutes we were sat. The staff were super friendly and patient with the kids when ordering. We started off with drinks I really enjoyed the Kelvin Heights cocktail while the hubby enjoyed the draft beer. We shared a huge pretzel. We dod not care for the mustard dipping sauce but really enjoyed the jalapeño cheese sauce. The kids were excited for the dino nuggets, but had to order another order and extra fries as it wasn't enough food if your kiddo is an older kid. The vodka cooler was another great drink to try. The blazin ahi with sweet potato fries was delicious. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coleslaw on top was super yummy. The wasabi aioli wasn't spicy as I expected. The hubby enjoyed the wagyu smash burger and said it had a delicious kick of heat. Overall a very good experience and would come back and enjoy on our next vacation.
Great experience at Bare Back Grill. The open air layout allows you to feel the sea breeze and immersed in the beach town atmosphere while protected from the elements. The wait staff was a little impatient initially with getting food and drink orders but also very attentive and kind. They even brought over a little pack of crayons and coloring sheet for our little one - clearly a very children-friendly establishment. We had the steak and eggs, the fried chicken sandwich, and the veggie burrito. Everything was made perfectly and super delicious. One remark is that there's no steak sauce for the steak. The waitress helped us make do with a house-made chutney, but it's not quite the same (please just have a bottle of A1 around). All in all, we had a lovely experience eating brunch at Bare Back Grill and will certainly be back (if not just to try their wagyu smash burger)
Seating inside or outside. We sat outside. The staff was friendly and attentive. This was absolutely the best Philly Cheese Steak I've ever had! The portions were large, and the price wasn't bad at all. I ordered an ice tea. I don't know what kind of tea they make, but I wish I would have asked, because it was so good!
