bare grill

delish!. we had lunch here on the weekend with a large group of friends and kids. the service was fantastic, the food was amazing with great prices. the kids menu is also great and the coffee ..... the best !
i will definitely be going back

go for a cruise to la perouse... and check out bare grill. it was worth the 1h 10min drive to get there. where do i start? this was a random pick for us and i will definitely be back. the two of us arrived at 6pm for an early dinner but i would recommend making a booking if you're a party of 4 or more. the menu is extensive and detailed. we ordered the spicy buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce, small fries and two original burgers.

as the buffalo wings were placed in front of me, the smell of the sauce wafted up my nostrils and i was instantly transported back to a new orleans pub where i had the best buffalo wings in my entire life. bare grill's recipe comes very close. i have spent the last 2 years looking for mind-blowing buffalo wings in sydney and i have found them. however, the blue cheese sauce may need modifying. i personally prefer a thick consistency with a stronger taste.

now the burgers. they. tasted. amazing.

my biggest pet peeve with a burger is a dry patty. this was not the case with the original. the patty was juicy, the cheese oozed out, the caramelised onions wanted to escape and the bun was adorably soft. i have never looked at a burger so lovingly in my life!

the (not so) small serving of fries were crispy (just how i like it) and were seasoned with a salt that tasted like chicken salt and cheddar cheese. if it was socially acceptable to lick the basket it came with, i would have done so.

i saw a toddler walk out bare grill with a milkshake and i decided i wanted one too. the chocolate milkshale was average. i'm more of a thickshake kind of girl.

last but not least, the customer service. the ladies knew their regulars by name and were very friendly to new faces, i.e. us. the hospitality showed by the wait staff and cooks (yep, they came out to say hi too) were the cherry on top.

overall, highly recommended and will be back!

second burger from the great team bare grill while i was having lunch with ompty was a custom burger from the chef. i overheard him calling it. miss piggys dirty threesome.

bare bun, beef, cheddar, chipizo (fried chorizo chips), crispy af bacon, pulled pork, bare sauce and carolina sticky bbq sauce 🍔

i dunno about getting some pork on my fork, but this burger made me want to get some pork in my face! so i did! it was gone in minutes 😅 might make a menu somewhere sometime soon hopefully 👏👏👏

amazing burgers!! perfectly cooked juicy patties. melted cheese. tasty sauce. one of the top burger joints i've been to.

the place is quite small so seating area is limited so best not to go with too many ppl. we went with 6 and had to wait until the double table was ready for us. worth the wait though.

this place is a must for burger fans. american style burgers at its best.

bianca: la perouse is one of those odd suburbs, past the riff raff of botany bay port and shipping containers opens up into the vast headland that is la perouse, with gorgeous views out to botany bay and across to bare island. one of the largest scuba diving locations in new south wales. i struggle to breathe on land, i’m not going to throw water and an oxygen tank into the mix. besides there are burgers to eat….

had a good time here on saturday. wasn't too many people around lunchtime, probably due to the terrible weather. we ordered two burgers with the epic fries.

i got the son of a cockfighter: fried chicken with cheese, bacon, guacamole, coleslaw, lettuce and bare sauce. chicken was moist and seasoned well. bacon could've been crispier but it was still good. bf got the fatties burger: double beef patty with cheese, bacon and bare sauce. meat needed more seasoning, but overall it was very tasty.

plenty of sauce on both burgers, making the whole experience a little messy but there's a bathroom to wash your hands. love the branded buns which adds to the great presentation of the food.

unfortunately we weren't a huge fan of the epic fries. waffle fries were great but even for us big eaters the sauce and pulled pork was too much for us in the end.

staff were friendly and prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. wait for food wasn't long. i'd definitely return if i'm after a good burger fix.

best best best burger i have ever had!!! juice and succulent patties with generous amount of american cheese! will definitely be back for more!

sunday lunch. had a great time at bare grill on mother's day. the service was great and the portions were very generous. i love my burgers and the big bare grill burger has become my new favourite.
the menu catered for all of us and the kids wolfed down there food without a complaint.
i'll be coming back as i was eyeing off my father's steak and know exactly what i want to order.

bare grill in la perouse is famous not only for their burgers but their branded milk buns. this was my second time coming here, the first was a few months ago to try the fatties burger which in all honestly was a bit underwhelming, but you really need to go to a place twice to see if it's as good as people say it is. back then the meat was under-seasoned and overcooked with limited texture as it was just bland meat, cheese, and sauce. this time around i went with the big bare.

double beef patty, american cheddar, bacon, caramelized onion, iceberg lettuce, bare sauce

i'm so glad i gave this place another chance, as this burger was just great. big juicy patties cooked just medium rare with good seasoning and fat/meat ratio. don't know if they changed up their blend but i liked it this time around. the milk bun was good but didn't hold up to all the contents in the end but that's ok as this is a pretty big burger. the toppings were pretty good especially the bare sauce, they could improve their lettuce and i'd skip the bacon next time as it's just a bit salty. all in all, great burger.

grab a bite at bare grill for some big burgers.

bare grill; i assume named after bare island off la perouse, where this burger joint is located.
definately rated when it comes to burgers. with friendly staff and quality burgers all round. you are sure to find a burger that suits your taste and appetite. from a cheese burger to a behemoth called death by burger with 10 beef patties and everything in between. if it is a nice day borrow a picnic blanket from the restaurant stroll across the road and enjoy the burger in the sun or eat the burger while you stroll down toward the beach. if you like burgers head to bare grill.

love this place!!. i know this area quite well since i like to swim at la perouse in the summer time. because of that, i really don't eat in the area...just a swim and then home time. but, i'm so glad my work mates and i headed out last week for lunch. it's a beautiful setting, at only around 1000 steps to the beach.

the staff were lovely and welcoming. and the food was amazing! i ordered the club sandwich, and it was soo yummy. all the ingredients were just right. but, my fav part was the chips!! so crispy and great taste. oh yes....can't forget the coffee and dessert....i had the almond biscuit, but wanted everyone else's as well. everything tasted so good and looked good. good thing i didn't try everything on the menu. maybe next time ;)

big bare burger. big!!! and very very tasty!

absolutely yummy home made food. it was great to see a new cafe in the area and one with a modern trendy vibe. the dishes are generous portions and made from scratch using great quality produce. i've returned several times with family and friends and between us all have tried a variety of dishes from their breakfast / lunch and dinner menus. my favourite breakfast dis was the corn fritters - simply devine the best corn fritters i've had in a cafe to date. my husband had the pancakes - also all made from scratch. many of the cakes and sweets are all made at home by the owners and are of greek and croatian influence, as we learnt. the chocolate baklava - what can i say ... i was so full but ate it all and almost licked the plate clean! lunch and dinner portions are also generous in size and my favourite was the octopus salad. my husband loved the ribs and our friends that dined with us on one occasion loved the greek style souvlakia (skewers). and the coffee - well i can say i'm a coffee snob and the coffee was made perfectly. i also totally recommend the greek style coffee frappe to be sipped slowly like the greeks do, while enjoying the view of the bay from the open cafe window. totally recommend visiting this cafe if you want home made from scratch and mediterranean / adriatic influenced food.

7/10

1) aussie outback - really liked the smokey patty but there wasn't a flavour that shined

2) son of a cockfighter - the bare sauce reminded me of the hungry jacks sauce which i love! with the guac the flavour was a bit confusing.

3) buffalo wings - must get - the highlight of our meal. loved the blue cheese sauce with it as well.

visited bare grill on spec expecting the ordinary. we ordered the grilled barra chips & salad. the meal was great, the value good, the service friendly and attentive. the experience surprisingly excellent. a nice fathers' day dinner. thank you.

the chicken wings were not as advertised on the picture, it’s oily, salty and just like cheap food court’s quality. the burger patty is ok but grilled burger’s burgers are much better. only come here if you really want burger but got stuck at la perous. the price and value and quality is not great. i would not recommend this place. you get a mouth of saltiness, oiliness and greasiness left in your mouth. very disappointed and overlay rated on here.
