“Best steak wrap I have ever had in my life. If I could have given more stars I would have. Our waiter was also very attentive. But this is not the place to go if you're looking for atmosphere...not really a Trolley Stop, more like a gritty hole in the wall. But I'd go back in a heartbeat for the food and service.“

“Huge fan of Bare Bones! I love being able to enjoy/support a locally-owned restaurant that consistently delivers on flavor AND service. Some of my favorites include the butter beans (absolutely delicious - give them a try), the corn fritters, and the BBQ chicken! My husband loves the bone-in ribeye pork chop and the French onion soup. The restaurant also has an awesome private room with a TV, perfect to book for larger parties! We just celebrated my bestie's 40th in there and the staff was so accommodating (thank you so much, Zach!) Can't say enough about awesome newer ownership with Sunny, too - perfect blend of interior upgrades/menu refreshes while still delivering on the classics!“

Amazing service . Loved their smile and quick service .. they had few IPas and beers on tap. Drink was awesomeee . Ordered sweet potato fries .. it tasted great .. nice quantity for the price . Wings was ok. The sauce in the wings was sticky and could have been better .. we still loved it overall. 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“
