Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the generous smoked-meat platters, from the Pit Tray with a bit of everything to a sharers option for two that one reviewer says could have fed four. Pulled pork with dirty fries gets repeated mention, the ribs and house BBQ wings are singled out as favourites, and the Kinder Bueno shake and other milkshakes earn praise too. Staff are described as friendly, attentive and welcoming, and two reviewers with a dairy intolerance appreciated the reassurance about their order and the dairy free dessert. One detailed review of a second visit describes a much weaker meal. The BBQ tower arrived late, the ribs were extremely dry, the burger barely warm, the corn on the cob cold, and the burnt ends were indistinguishable from the pulled pork. That reviewer was also refused a table away from the door and a halloumi fries starter, received two unopened sauces, and boxed up about two fifths of the food.

“Absolutely Incredible! I have been meaning to visit Bare Grills for a while after passing it almost every time I visit Taunton. I finally made the decision to book a table and all 4 of us had a great time and the food was outstanding. I went for the Pit Tray which had a bit of everything and it was all amazing! I would highly recommend ‘Bare Grills’ to anyone that loves BBQ It’s a solid 10/10 from me!”

“We visited on our holiday. Found this place online. Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service. Really good portions of food, full of flavor and Kids absolutely loved it too. Lovely atmosphere, super friendly staff and very attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our food. We will definitely be returning at some point.”

“I had a wonderful meal at Bare Grills last night. The service was absolutely brilliant - attentive but not overbearing - and they were also incredibly kind about my dairy intolerance, reassuring me that what I'd ordered definitely was dairy free without me having to ask, and then making sure I was aware of the dairy-free dessert option (which was delicious!) The food was piping hot and so tasty. When the time came for us to leave, every member of staff said thank you which made us feel like we had been truly welcome there. I wouldn't hesitate in returning again!”

“What a wonderful treat! We were in the area for a birthday and found Bare Grills on a Google search. We booked in advance and were greeted and served by the wonderful Charelle. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The service and atmosphere was just what we were hoping for. Also caters to dairy free which was brilliant.”

“Such a lovely spot. The staff are super friendly and really look after you, and the food is delicious. The house BBQ wings are the real star, so tasty and full of flavour.”
