“Consistently good food. Excellent crab soup! Bare Bones signature salad and fall off the bone ribs are really good.

Been going here for years. Love that they have live music. We went there last night with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the band and a nightcap. The waitstaff is always friendly and competent.

MANY Years ago friends gave me a bridal shower in their back room. 7 years ago, the same pals hosted my daughter’s baby shower at Bare Bones. The private party area in the back is neat and large. Check it out.“

“I had steamed monkfish.. There are no real good restaurants in ELLICOTT CITY, where I live now. There is no restaurant that is particularly good at steamed monkfish. However, I ate delicious monkfish for the first time in a while at Hyeban. I love braised monkfish, and for the first time in a long time, I ate it very deliciously. The portion is huge.. If two people come, you can really eat the monkfish to the fullest.. Above all, the service is really the best.. The servers are great. Very friendly.. The female server named EUNJEA was really friendly.. I went there for the first time and asked a lot of questions about the menu, but she responded very kindly and kindly.. I also like the spacious space.. The tables were close together. I like it because it doesn't exist.. The last thing I want to say is that the food at this place is not crazy delicious. It's more than average, so don't come with high expectations.“

“The Canopy catered our work party and the food was amazing! The food was hot when we picked it up. The service was spot on. The communication was outstanding! Highly recommend.“

“This place is perfect and so fun everytime! We can't go to the DC area without hitting it 👌“

“What's not to love? The food is fantastic and their service was even better. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious. The tabletop cooking added to the dining experience. The meat was cooked to perfection. We were each given complimentary scrambled eggs.

The only catch: they don't take reservations. So coordinate and plan accordingly. They only seat you when the full group arrives.

Five stars all around!“

“Great service, quality and price!“

“I've avoided this place for over 10 years because I remember it being very expensive and instead frequented the AYCE alternatives. However, I decided to give it another shot last weekend and was surprised by how great the food and service was, and the price wasn't too bad either!

Highly recommend the bone-in ribs. Cold noodles were very bland. Steamed egg was bland as well but the hot temperature and fluffy texture made it taste good.“

“My favorite pit beef joint. The guys are great, the food is amazing, and the price is right.

Parking: You might have to wait when they're busy (ahem, Friday lunchtime), but otherwise it's easy to park.

Kid-friendliness: The kids have loved this place since they were little. The guys are so friendly and remember their order, even when it is months between visits.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Shandi is cool down to earth. And has a good sense of humor. She even remember my orders so it’s like she really cares about the customers. I think she is detailed and very professional. And she loves the children as well. I only come here to interact with her also

She is so hot!!!!!!!!“

“First time visiting here. Halal BBQ is a relatively new concept around here and wanted them ncheck it out. Ordered two Halal Beef Brisket sandwich combos with french fries and a canned soft drink each, a Halal Bacon and Brisket combo sandwich with curly fries and can of coke, Mozzarella cheese sticks combo and a chicken tender serving. Overall the family enjoyed the food, my beef bacon was over cooked and the strips of beef brisket were thin slivers of meat with a barely discernable flavor coated with copious amounts of BBQ sauce. First impression was so-so, for me. Seating was barely adequate with people standing over your head to order. It was night time and rainy sonif they have outdoor seating, it was not part of the equation tonight. I will definitely visit again as I like to support small upcoming businesses and I like the concept of contemporary American food for those who prefer to eat Halal.“

“Great food at a great value. I am an instant fan.“

“The ribs were outstanding! And service was very fast, so I was able to dive into them right away. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Close to home! Soothes the islanders homesick soul…..“

“We love supporting local businesses and kept returning hoping that maybe we just went at bad times. Unfortunately, everything keeps being mediocre. The consistency in portion size and taste could be worked on.“

“Best BBQ in Maryland. great prices. will be back.“

“Best pit beef and fries I've had. Happy they reopened. Had catering done for a few work parties before too, and everyone loved it.“

“Great food. Courteous service and good ethnic food.“

“My boyfriend and I were drawn to this restaurant and were impressed with the great service. Although we didn't catch the name of the woman who rang us up, she was very generous and accommodating, even though they were about to close. We were pleased with the food and highly recommend this place.“

“the lamb chops are simply marvelous !!!!!“

“The beef brisket was very delicious. This is the best spot for a quick down home BBQ at its finest.“

“Overall, this is a nice place to eat. The food is usually great! I've eaten here many times.
I didn't like where they sat us because it was too close to other tables than I would prefer. I didn't ask to be moved because I didn't want to make my party move because I was uncomfortable. The seating could be improved or rearranged to better suit parties of 5 or more.

The staff is friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kid friendly
Family friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't suggest bringing a wheelchair. There's not enough room in between tables.“

“I ordered brunch from here over the weekend and got the shrimp & grits. My food was delicious and the portions were big! While I was there someone else was picking up their food and they ordered a cheesesteak that looked so damn good! I’ll definitely be back for that. I won’t lie it’s not the cheapest brunch/lunch option BUT it’s definitely worth it AND it’s BLACK OWNED!“
