Bare Bones BBQ - Gatesville
Bare Bones BBQ
Description
This Texas BBQ restaurant has garnered a mix of admiration and frustration from diners over the years. While many rave about the delicious brisket and tender ribs, some lament the decline in quality and service. Discontinued favorites and incorrect orders have left patrons disappointed, particularly with sides like reheated potatoes. The atmosphere is praised, especially with live music events, but the concert venue raises concerns about sound quality and seating arrangements. Friendly staff and a cool vibe contribute to a memorable experience, though diners suggest heading in with manageable expectations for both food and service.

It'd a neat place good decor and wasn't too busy for lunch. The brisket had a lot of fat on it though but it was a decent tasting brisket. The baked beans were excellent and they had great sweet tea. The macncheese was watery so that was a let down. Overall it is just not bad. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

I never post anything but this is beyond... I can't believe the experience we had tonight. We'll never come back again. We have spent so much money here over the course of 13 years and it has decreased in quality consistently... ribs, chicken, sausage, brisket, sauce, beans, burgers, etc. Under new management? We dined in and not only were they out of EVERYTHING, which is always the problem by early evening, they told us to leave our order number on our table. We played checkers right next to our table and after 45 min we wondered what happened. Finally, we flagged someone down and they claimed they had called out our number! We didn't hear anything and we were blamed. The food we were served was convenient store at best. Quit running out of food!!!! Plan better!!!! You run a restaurant, don't you? I'm disgusted and disappointed.
Quaint atmosphere and totally amazing food. The brisket was moist and melt in your mouth. You can have your choice of dry, moist or chefs cut. The sausage is homemade and we got mild. There are several other versions including jalapeno and cheddar jalapeno. The ribs were awesome too. The coleslaw was slightly sweet and not liquidy. It was on the drier side, but still yummy. The pinto beans were good, and we out sauce in them to spice it up a bit. You can come in for the atmosphere and friendly staff, or drive through and enjoy at home (or on your way home in our case).
