Was out working tonight and broke down in the cold, popped in they got some grub on the go for me double quick, service was great even checked on my out front while getting rescued.Really sorted me out at an end to a disastrous evening.

Walked in at 830 ,the sign on the door and Google said close 9pm.Wouldn't of thought there would be any problem.Only 5 or 6 diners in there.I was told "no sorry we close at 9"I stressed we only want a simple steak dinner. Again told "no sorry we are not taking any more customers".This is bloody ridiculous.A steak doesn't take long to cook. We were so looking forward to it.We had 2 more days up here.I am hoping I can at least get a reply to my email but no reply.We eat out occasionally and dont usually have a problem like this. It's made me look a total idiot on what should of been a romantic couple of days away.Look forward to hearing from you.Don Codman.

Wing and ribs were a bit dry. Some more moisture during smoking probably needed. I'm sure it was just a one off.Brisket was amazing and so was the pulled port. So many chips bread and some nice corn. Bbq tower was a good choice. £48 £58.20 with two thatchers. Will come again.

Bare Grills Bristol offers decent fare but falls short of the standards set by its Weston branch. While the food is good, the rushed atmosphere and indifferent staff detract from the overall experience. For a more memorable meal, consider visiting their Weston location instead.

Was in two minds about heading here after reading a couple of the poor reviews recently, I have eaten here before and it was not too bad. So took my family there for a cheeky Friday burger.First off, service was great. Greeted with a smile and our reservation was all good. Not too busy but it was an early dinner time reservation. Service was awesome from start to finish and no complaints there at all.I had the burger, which was tasty, felt fresh and decent size with two patties. Sauce was good and the taste was ok. Not mind blowing but a decent burger. Only gripe would be it was quite pink in the patties and I prefer mine a just a little more cooked but that's my fault for not saying to the waitress. My wife's pulled pork was pretty poor to be honest. Looked like it had been defrosted and slopped on the plate, and just wasn't the same quality as when we had eaten there previously. Son had a burger and loved it, we also got burnt ends which were below average. Really chewy and did not feel fresh at all. Chips needed to be cooked a little longer but seasoning was great and taste was very good.We also ended up getting an extra order of burnt ends included due to a mistake at ordering. Very much appreciated guys and thank you for this.I will say one thing, you need to maybe clean your toilet room more often. That was a a bit of a horror show. I would very much advise against going in there if I was you.Overall it was quite pricey for what it was, if it has been the standard we'd previously had then would have been happy to pay it. But I am afraid we will not be heading back there now as the food just didn't impress us. I hope they put some time and effort into bringing this place back to what it was as it's a great idea, restaurant and location.Service was top class though, just some of the food let it down on this trip.Dietary restrictions: They adapted a burger to help with my dietary restrictions. Very impressed.

Overcooked ribs with no meat left on them, just crispy bark. Bland "spicy" fries. Dry wingsSlaw and pulled pork were ok.

Hello .. I ordered yesterday on Sunday 2/3/24 and ordered the tower combo which usually comes to £50 but they had an offer on reducing it to £40I’m majorly disappointed!! I’d of got better value from the Asda hot food section !!The ribs were like chewing rubber from a tyre!!! So tough and dry!!! I’ve attached a photo but that doesn’t do it justice ! The ribs were covered in sauce which was nice but the ribs were inedible for real.Brisket lol what a joke ! I had the smallest piece of tough as boots brisket and it tasted nasty ?… it was about the size of a slice of ham that you get in multipacks from TescoChicken wings were ok and were the warmest part of my meal … everything else was almost cold …Burgers were ok but I would never order these on their own as they don’t deserve the price .Chips were standard seasoning was good but again for the money it’s not worth it !!!Pulled pork saturated in grease … yeah it’s fatty but this was something else …Onions rings were nice as the batter wasn’t hard and not soggy and tasted good …I’ve not ordered ribs from here for over a year but it’s still the same problem I’m disgusted ! The fact that they charge £50 for their biggest best combo and the quality is terrible says that it’s not worth eating from here ? it wouldn’t surprise meIf the manager asks friends to leave reviews to boost their rating ! Honestly there’s another smoked bbq place just up the road on whiteladies Rd, called low ‘N’ slow which is much much better ! Don’t eat here it’s nasty ?

Delicious pulled pork

Got Uber eats from here. It was awful. The driest ribs I’ve ever had in my life. It’s actually quite a feat to dry them out to the point they become inedible. Everything was bland. Completely gross and total waste of money.
Had the baby back ribs. It was quite good and a good portion but I wasn't crazy about the sauce. I would have liked a bit more moisture but it wasn't dry.
Gareth Holleran
All I can say is wow! We had the sharer platter in here so we could sample some of everything and it was all amazing! The burgers were fantastic, pulled pork was so ooo good and The ribs here were unbelievable, I can definitely recommend them, all of us left there and proceeded home to the inevitable food coma we'd eaten ourselves into, it's an easy 5 stars from me

Ordered the bare grills combo, £30 so thinking the food is going to be good! Oh how I was disappointed…The brisket was tough as old boots and dry, the ribs were dry, the chicken was over cooked and dry, the pulled pork was okay along with the sausage but not enough to make the meal worth it. Lack of real flavour, I ate some because I was hungry not because it was enjoyable. Avoid this place if you want bbq, not worth a visit at all.I stated these points and the servers didn’t really seem to care, we just got told they would let the chef know. The service was mediocre at best, no one looked like they wanted to be there and there was no real atmosphere at all.Absolute waste of time and money.

If I could give 0 I would. Ordered a £30 combo. All the meat was dry, no sauces or seasoning, brisket had seen better days and to top it off service was absolutely appalling. Disappointed is an understatement. Don’t waste your money..
