bare grill

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, smallfriesand 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 offrieswere 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!

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. wafflefrieswere 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.

one of the original founders of sydney's burger scene, bare grill is infamous for it's consistancy, quality and generous servings. their location in ideallic la parouse overlooking the magnificent botany bay on an almost spring-like saturday was how the wife and i wound up here on the last weekend in august.

took ages to decide what burger i wanted, settled on the 'cure' and the wife the 'son of a cockfighter'. also got a soda of mac n cheese croquettes, because the wife has this problem where she can't say no to mac and cheese.

the croquettes were good. crispy crumb which made a nice crunch and the mac n cheese was thick, creamy and good. personally i felt like a dash of cayenne pepper wou have gone amiss in the cheese sauce.

burgers were phenomenal. sitting in the park, soaking up the ray's whilst eating. beef is phenomenal - possible the best beef on a burger i've had ever. thick, juicy, well seasoned flame grilled patties cooked medium rare with a little bit of pink inside. so good to see that. juicy delicious beef patties that you could eat on their own. the rest of the burger worked really well. very cheese and the bare sauce was pretty tasty. american cheese held the burger together like food glue so reduced the messiness notch.

the wife loved the cockfighter burger, commenting on how fresh the chicken patties were and flavorful the coleslaw was.

thefrieswere phenomenal. hot, crispy fried season in this almost cajun spice. makes a nice change from plain old chicke salt.

a bit pricy, with the two burger meals and croquettes coming to a tick over $60, but for a once in a while treat/date you don't mind it when the quality is as good as bare grills. they're an industry leader for their quality, and their food is sensational and worth the prices. will be back.

located in the beautiful area of la perouse, this venue is famous for their burgers, ribs, loadedfriesand more.
it was my first visit and i was impressed. loved their cheeseburger. simply delish.
i also had iced coffee and it was strong and aromatic (marc harvie coffee).
might be back to try their other dishes!

despite the multitude of burger joints in sydney, it's depressingly difficult to find a solid tasting burger, with most places caring more about how instagrammable their food is rather than how good it tastes. but amongst the sea of mediocrity bare grill stands above the pretty much all the rest, serving absolutely amazing burgers at perfectly reasonable price points.

if you want a classic american style burger made to near perfection, try the bare burger. whilst it isn't anything new, it's simply a burger in which every component has been cooked perfectly and when put together, makes for an delicious combination. we had our burgers with a side of largefries(which were genuinely very large) and blue cheese dipping sauce, both of which were quite good themselves.

bare grill stands deserving as one of the best burger joints in sydney and apart from the absurd price of adding extra cheese to your burger (i understand charging extra, but $2 for a single slice of cheese is unreasonable), they are absolutely worth the visit.

some of the best burgers in sydney! the grizzly bare is my go to burger with some cheeky sweet potatofrieson the side! i have also been to the surry hills outlet, which is slightly less casual but has raclette cheese!

our first taste of a bare grill burger at last years burgerpalooza! the burger was absolutely amazing, so we knew we had to check out their joint in la perouse!

the burgers here are amazing! the original had brioche buns so soft with a beef patty cooked to perfection. the son of a cock fighter is the ultimate burger with the crunchy, juicy fried chicken. the fish burger here is also super delicious!

definitely don't skip the loadedfriestoo!

so happy these guys have opened up on bourke st surry hills :)

went on a saturday and understandably, it was busy. saying that, i ordered the loadedfrieswhich they had run out of the pulled pork and offered "more bacon"... lets just say there was about 5 pieces... would have received a better rating if they met consistency and didn't charge the same price for less.
had burgers previously and they are pretty good, meat is fresh and cooked well. still, disappointed and not worth it if they are busy.

we visited bare grill at la perouse last night. we ordered the epicfrieswhich was amazingly crispy and flavoursome with the bacon, pulled pork and sauces. we also ordered the bare cockfighter. it was a fairly busy night so our order was forgotten as we waited and waited patiently. after realising that many of the people who ordered after us already got their cockfighter burger we decided to ask about our burger. our burger finally came out after more waiting but it was so delicious we couldn't complain. at the end of our meal the nice waitress who served us offered us coffee on the house - possibly because of the wait. it was a nice gesture. the meal was delicious but by the time the chicken burger came out, i had already filled most of my stomach with the wafflefriesso my boyfriend ate most of the burger.

however today we woke up feeling sick. i have minor stomach cramps but my boyfriend has a fever, is dehydrated where he is constantly thirsty but unable to release, and lethargic. he has been bed ridden all day. he has been diagnosed with salmonella infection. we think that it was because of the chicken from the burger. it was extremely busy last night so the chicken may have been undercooked. if it wasn't for this experience i would've given it 4.5/5 stars but because of this bad case of salmonella, i'm giving this place a rating of 1.5

the original bare grill at la perouse is a charming cafe that is buzzing with friendly staff and good food. my partner went for the truffle burger and loved it! i know most people can't go past ordering one of the famous burgers at bare grill but i actually went for the chicken kebabs with chips and salad and it was delicious! the serving was also extremely generous. as a side we had the wafflefriescovered in pulled pork and sauce - a meal in itself. there is always the option to grab a takeaway burger and one of their complimentary picnic blankets to enjoy your meal in the park.

so delicious!! first time here and since it is a bit of a drive for my partner and i, we over ordered so we could try a range. we had the bare cockfighter, the big bare, epicfriesand golden gaytime freak shake. we were satisfied at the halfway point but it was so good we couldn't stop eating and basically only had 2friesleft.frieswere crispy and pulled pork, bacon, cheese and sauce on top makes it a meal in itself instead of a side. beef patties had nice flavour. nice pepperiness to it. a lot of cheese but not greasy. enjoyed that bacon was on crispy side. chicken was delicious too. juicy and worked with the other ingredients. freakshake was good. liked that it came with actual gaytime in it.

everyone i know has been making such a fuss about bare grill's burgers, and now after tonight i can understand why.
this joint can definitely hold its own against some of the big boys of sydney's burger scene.
we came here with a starving company of four and left stuffed to our limits. we may or may not have over-ordered but hey, you can never have too much of a good thing.
for tonight, we opted for 2 of the bare originals and 2 of the cure burgers (i had the cure because why not the bigger burger). we also ordered epic fries, the spicy chicken wings with blue cheese sauce and a nutella freakshake. the burgers were amazing in every way. we were stoked at just how big they were and how amazing they tasted. the meat patties could not have been jucier or seasoned better and the burger could not have been saucier, cheesier or sloppier (just how we like it) the branded buns were also a great addition, i particularly loved that idea as i feel they added a nice touch to the burger. the epicfrieswere just as good as the burger. the combination of sauces and toppings (especially the pulled pork) made for an amazing creation. i really loved them and probably enjoyed them much more than i should have. the nutella freakshake continued on with the super high standard and quality this place had to offer. it definitely had a wow factor and stunned us when arriving at the table and it certainly does not hold back on nutella. not only was the shake thick and creamy. it tasted as if you were eating a spoonfull of nutella straight out of the jar. topped with a nutella donut you certainly cannot go wrong with this if youre having a serious chocolate craving. the only downside were the spicy chicken wings. we were so ready to give this place a 5 star review till the wings. they looked amazing when they came to our table and we couldn't wait to dig in. sadly they did not taste anywhere as good as they looked. i dont know how to describe the flavour but it most definitely wasnt to my liking. aside from the taste the wings were very well cooked. with improvement on taste this could be another amazing and delicious menu item.
even so, bare grill definitely gave us the wow factor and we definitely could not get enough of their delicious burgers. we left with our minds already made up to come back again and again until we've had every burger on their menu and i can assure you we're already very excited for our next visit despite our full and bulging bellies!

late post: came here around april on a weekday afternoon. i had been meaning to try out this place due to everyone raving on about it through fatties. ordered the bare grill burger & the epic fries. the burger had great flavours and was juicy however i personally prefer buns that are more lighter & fluffier, it felt like there was too much bun. the epicfrieswas good but probably would've preferred them to be made withfriesand not waffle shaped fries. i have seen other pics of burgers where the bun looks more better & the epicfrieswith chips so looks like things have improved since i went.

this is a lovely part of sydney for a day out, and this unassuming café is in a great spot opposite the grassy reserve right on the point at la perouse. there are a few other eateries here too and as we arrived we noticed how quiet the area is. there was hardly a soul around. that was around midday but during the next half hour there were people coming out of nowhere to eat here at bare grill. this surprisingly busy place was obviously well known by locals and that’s a good sign. for at least the next two hours they were turning over tables and takeaway at a great rate.we started with a nice strong flat white as we made our menu choices. there are salads,friesand starters followed by a huge choice of burger combinations, steaks, ribs and seafood. all very tempting but we just had to try the “epic fries”- wafflefrieswith pulled pork, cheese, spiced aioli, carolina sticky bbq sauce, bacon and shallots. what an indulgence! it looked wicked, tasted amazing and was a meal in it’s own right.
