I stopped in for a bite, just getting off the road. Ordered fish tacos w/fries and a shrimp salad to go. When I returned home the salad was chicken…I called the restaurant and they fixed a new salad. The inconvenience of having to drive back was irritating, especially after being in the car for 5 hours. The staff was pleasant and corrected their error and included a complimentary soup as well.
The food was decent. I enjoyed the spicy sauce on the tacos. Salad was basic and served its purpose. Their menu has a variety of items as well. Also, some specialty dishes. Drink specials looked fun!
The atmosphere was friendly while I waited for my order. Lots of people at the bar and others at the tables enjoying their meals. There are lots of screens for sports watching too.

The food was excellent. I understand there might be a more extensive menu once they get really going, but the menu now has a lot of choices…what we had was delicious. Since there was only two of us for lunch, and wanted a regular … More

Boring atmosphere, hour long wait for food that wasn’t good, uncomfortable high top seating (no other choice) just a basic watering hole. … More

This new R-Bar and Grill location is great! They just opened, so of course there are learning curves. Mostly, the kitchen. When we went, the place was packed and they have new chefs learning the menu, so the wait was long. The staff was … More

The food was excellent. I understand there might be a more extensive menu once they get really going, but the menu now has a lot of choices…what we had was delicious. Since there was only two of us for lunch, and wanted a regular table it would have been nice to have a smaller table other than a table for six, but it worked out well.
The service was welcoming and attentive. The redo of the establishment makes it brighter and more welcoming. Will definitely go back.

came for a birthday party, seen the serve once every hour and never was asked if I wanted anything. Ended up waking up to the bar, still kind of slow service from one bartender. The head bartender Kate I got the second time was amazing. I am a gm of a bar and you could tell she is your star! Her, the barback, busser, and host are the only ones there consistently doing there jobs. The rest are there to kind of make some money and kind of work. a party of 20 plus and no one received good service.

I truly enjoyed this location and the staff. Visiting family from Seattle; decided to stop by to have a drink and wind down. Immediately greeted by a young man Adam that shot out energy and true welcoming vibes but the cherry on the top was my bartender Kate & Cindy and another young lady that recognized me from the night prior(I’m so sorry) again greeted with an amazing and elegant smile and loving hello. During my entire visit I didnt feel left out or had to be isolated as most people do in a new place. But after that, I promised I will return every night during my visit to close out all my days!! Amazing staff again I will be here again on my next visit!! Great work RBAR!! PS they listen to what you ask for and make it perfectly!! BEST IRISH MULE EVER!!

Thought they improved letting the 18 years olds in, because I was carded and stamped when I walked in around 9 pm. 2 hours later a wave of teenagers came through and bouncer didn’t stop them to scan ID or stamp their hands. Guessing they’ve been warned and checking and stamping only the ones they KNOW are 21+. Doesn’t really work out when it hits midnight and here comes the graduating class from LC. I’m in my 40s and my hand was stamped but not the kids next to me, funny how that works out. But I get that’s where they are making their money the 17-18 years old. I don’t blame the teenagers what other bar is allowing that?

This new R-Bar and Grill location is great! They just opened, so of course there are learning curves. Mostly, the kitchen. When we went, the place was packed and they have new chefs learning the menu, so the wait was long. The staff was extremely attentive while we waited for our food. The appetizers came out pretty fast though. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, and we both grabbed bites before I remembered to take a picture, lol. They come with 6 full sized sticks, not 4 with 2 more half eaten ones, lol. We also ordered the nachos with beef and that was a huge portion. I was pleasantly surprised that it was chopped steak, and not ground beef. We didn’t get Jalapeños or salsa on them. It was delicious! The last thing we ordered was the chicken bacon ranch wrap. It came with a large portion of fries, and those were great. The sandwich could use a bit more bacon, as there didn’t seem to be much in mine, but overall, a very solid sandwich. There is currently no kids menu, so be prepared to order adult sized meals for them, or have them share your food. They said in the upcoming weeks, they should have one ready! We will definitely be back to try more food. The tables around us all had delicious looking food too. They have a Facebook page for current info, R-Bar and Grill of St. John. Theyre waiting on the website to reflect their new location, and not just Highland
