Artisanal burgers, pints & sides in a kitschy, wood-heavy setting with a New Zealand motif.

Staffs have always been friendly. I come back to this place for their fries, I love that hint of sweet & salty. Wish they gave a little more with the burgers.
I’ve tried a few things on the menu: queenstown fave, the steak n chips (steak and mushroom on top of the fries) and the bare lil lamb. The bare lil lamb was good but I wasn’t fond of the “mint dressing” – i was expecting something creamy or buttery but it was just a minty jelly.

Great experience at Bare Back Grill. The open air layout allows you to feel the sea breeze and immersed in the beach town atmosphere while protected from the elements.
The wait staff was a little impatient initially with getting food and drink orders but also very attentive and kind. They even brought over a little pack of crayons and coloring sheet for our little one – clearly a very children-friendly establishment.
We had the steak and eggs, the fried chicken sandwich, and the veggie burrito. Everything was made perfectly and super delicious. One remark is that there’s no steak sauce for the steak. The waitress helped us make do with a house-made chutney, but it’s not quite the same (please just have a bottle of A1 around).
All in all, we had a lovely experience eating brunch at Bare Back Grill and will certainly be back (if not just to try their wagyu smash burger)

Seating inside or outside. We sat outside. The staff was friendly and attentive. This was absolutely the best Philly Cheese Steak I’ve ever had! The portions were large, and the price wasn’t bad at all. I ordered an ice tea. I don’t know what kind of tea they make, but I wish I would have asked, because it was so good!

Bare Back Grill was the perfect place to crash after a long day on the beach. The host’s smile drew us in from down the block and we were seated quickly. All the food was delicious. The giant pretzel delivered in both quality and quantity. The grilled lemon with the fish and chips elevated an already perfectly-fried piece of haddock. The vibe was great, but still suitable to come in with your kids.

Was really good and liked all the sauces! Especially the wasabi!
I think it’s only a star down because 2 sliders is not quite enough. 3 would make that meal absolutely perfect.
Great. Stuff!

A great spot.- kind of a gay name though. A very short wait before we were seated. The weather was terrific, so we sat outside. The food was pretty good too. The best dish we ordered was the fish and chips. I would recommend to anybody.

We were looking forward to going to Bare Back Grill, my friends old favourite from when she lived here. While the food was tasty, the prices were very expensive. The service also wasn’t great, we were given knives and no forks, halfway through the meal we got the attention of our waiter to bring some forks over. I’m not sure it would be a place I’d recommend based on budget, with all the other options around.

Totally hip little spot, playing 90s hits and serving delicious food. My wife and I got the Maui Wowie and Queenstown Fave (burgers), and the onion dip. The food was all fresh and delicious. The Maui Wowie in particular was great, as were the fresh made potato chips.
We ordered our food to go. As I was walking back to the hotel, about 200 feet from the restaurant, one of the wait staff came running up behind me. They had forgotten to give me the sauces that come with their fries. They could have just let it go, but this server went the extra mile to make sure that my wife and I got everything we ordered. Really cool people. I didn’t get her name, but thanks 🙂
Will visit again.

Your bartender Saturday 3rd of January ruined the impression I had of your establishment. I asked for a house wine when I walked in. I get it you’re busy. But maybe hire someone faster this isn’t the first time I’ve seen slow bartenders there. I patiently waited only to receive a weird vibe from the guy. I then said I wanted to spin the $7 drink game. I explained I don’t drink beer, and that’s only because I’m gluten intolerant, not because I was being picky or difficult. He said , “ Then don’t PLAY!” What a rude answer! Just have common sense, it would’ve been another $7 or more plus the wings I planned to get. You guys lost my business!!! And I’m only one person , but I planned to take friends here. Your loss! Don’t be rude.

Had a fantastic time at Bareback Grill in Pacific Beach! The atmosphere was chill and welcoming, perfect for a beach day vibe. The food was absolutely delicious – every bite was packed with flavor! Prices were a bit on the higher side, but worth it for the quality and variety on the menu. Service was top-notch too – friendly and attentive staff made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!
