Good food but I never come there again on a Friday night. They had live music that could be heard in the parking lot, and even worse inside m

I haven't been to Bare Bones I. Quite some time. On this particular Tuesday I attended a sip and paint event hosted by Maryland Craft parties. For a Tuesday it was pretty crowded inside. There is a large shared parking lot in the shopping center where it's located. The event was in a private room located in the rear of the dinning area. The hostess was kind enough to show us back. Wait staff was friendly and took our drink orders shortly after we were seated. It was half price on wine so that's what we chose for the table. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla that arrived about 10 minutes after ordering. Sorry I had paint all on my hands and couldn't get a photo before digging in. It was very tasty and well seasoned. Had a great experience and for all the food and drinks it came out to about 22 dollars per person. I was more there for the sip and paint so I will have to come back for a proper dining experience. I even saw a fellow yelper there for the sip and paint.

I have been sitting here for about 45 minutes waiting for an appetizer. We asked a bus boy with special needs who said he would go to the kitchen to check on the food. Finally got our food.

A great place to have a delicious meal and socialize with friends. We had Bare Bones special salads which were wonderful. Also ordered the boneless wings during happy hour - they were fantastic - a large portion with real blue cheese dressing and celery for only $7. We'll definitely be returning to this place.

My Absolute favorite salad. The teriyaki chicken is full of flavor and pairs great with the salad and dressing. The service is great and the food always comes out super quick, hot, and fresh. I've never been here and had to wait for an astronomical amount of time to get my order. The ambiance is great as well, with plenty of seating and, a bar area with seating as well. They also have live music on the weekends which adds another nice touch of ambiance.

Really awful service, food didn't look good but the service from table staff was indifferent. It took multiple requests to get a drink.

Takeout didn't include dinner ribs that had been ordered. Good thing I checked before leaving. Told it would be 20 more minutes. Had to ask 3 times for the rest of the order to be taken in the back and kept warm. They finally did but it was clear when it all came out it had been simply placed on a counter in the back. Cold fries, cold steak, cold everything except for the forgotten order of ribs. I didn't make an issue of the fact that it didn't even include the right sides, I just wanted to get it all home. When I asked the second time to take my food in the back to please keep it warm, they said we can take half off. It was like that was the proper response rather than sending me home with correct hot food. I didn't care about the $, I just wanted a decent dinner for the family. When they handed me the order finally no apology and no follow through on the half off. It wasn't about the money, it was their indifference to the whole thing that was disappointing. It was Sunday dinner time, a little busy in the takeout area but nothing crazy. Oh and during my wait another customer returned with an order than was incorrect. I've patronized them for years. Not again.

Been going to BB for about 30 years. Tonight was our last time. It's been declining for some time but tonight it was just too far. Terrible food that had to be returned. No manager came to address. Menus dirty. Lights dirty. It was once great but just no more.

Sunday happy hour ALL DAY. What a treat. Stopped in and as one of the only table there we did not receive any attention for 10 minutes until one of us said a little loudly we were getting ready to leave. I think the waiter heard that and finally came over. They were out of the mango wheat beer on tap which was disappointing, and the margaritas had a strange taste to them. The boneless chicken wings were good, and at a good price during HH. The nachos were also tasty and filling.

On a whim, we decided to stop for a quick drinks and snacks on a Sunday afternoon. Besides they advertised HH all day Sunday!We went in, got seated right away. The place was relatively quiet- only 3-4 tables that were occupied. We waited about 15 minutes before being acknowledged ( we almost left ). Then another few minutes before our order was taken.We ordered Nachos Grande - good portion, heavy on the toppings, & Boneless Wings which were good size meaty pieces & very flavorful. Our drinks however were not very good . Quite watery & tasted funny - we figured it was from the soda sprayer. Our server though was very efficient .

Celebrated my brother's birthday at Bare Bones on 4/22/23. Our waiter was attentive and food was really good. The baby back ribs and Bare Bones salad are the best. Unfortunately, Bare Bones is located in Ellicott City and we are located in Gaithersburg as the location in Germantown/Gaithersburg closed years ago. Even though Bare Bones in Ellicott City is nearly 30 miles away, we try to visit the restaurant at least every 4 to 6 weeks.Ken K

Awful the food was bad everything was bad the flatbread, the tacos, the cheap tasting crab soup. Extremely disappointed we had to throw it all away! I usually give good to fair reviews this is the first time I had to say the food was disgusting. Don't waste your money or your tip! Go to a rest known for excellent food and clean food.

I was feeling low-energy, and stopped in, just for familiar comfortable surroundings. Delicious Sunday morning brunch menu. Tasty bloody mary (I got the non-spicy version). There was no one that I knew besides the bartender. What nice guests! Their friendly banter drew me in, and soon I was tossing my wisecracks into the mix. And some kind soul anonymously paid my tab! My jokes arent that funny, people here are just nice people :-)

Awful service, horrible food. First, we ordered carry out that constituted two bags, and despite verbal confirmation we had received everything, they forgot to give us the second bag of food. This required that we make a return trip with no offer of making up for the mistake. By the time the return trip was completed the food was obviously cold. Oh well, everyone makes mistakes right? Unfortunately for this establishment it's literally everyone. One of the orders was meant to be a crab cake, and instead we received a bbq chicken leg. Yikes, at least it's edible right? Haha funny. The meal was disgusting. One of our side salads (pictured) looked incredibly spoiled and gross. Unacceptable considering the salad containers are CLEAR plastic. Annoying but we have a solution, we'll split the other side salads. Stomach is turning but crisis averted I guess? Then I go to take a bite out of the cold mashed potatoes I thought I was looking forward to. It literally tasted like a combination of bleach and stinky feet. It smelled like chemicals. Just to make sure I wasn't trippin, tried another batch of mashed potatoes, which tasted fine. Someone from the kitchen literally poisoned this batch of potatoes. MD Health Department, if you're reading this, please take them down IMMEDIATELY!!!Oh and PS the website sucks.

The services was just a tad slow but we had a large party! The steak and potatoes were good and the steak was good to my specifications. All the food was very savory. Would go again!
