bare grill

go for a cruise tolaperouse... 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!

bianca:laperouse is one of those odd suburbs, past the riff raff of botany bay port and shipping containers opens up into the vast headland that islaperouse, 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….

bare grill inlaperouse 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 offlaperouse, 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 atlaperouse 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 ;)

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 atlaperous. 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.

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 idealliclaparouse 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.

the fries were 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.

great little burger shop inlaperouse, serving a huge variety of burgers, sides and more. service was good, food was delicious and prices were good. i’ll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

located in the beautiful area oflaperouse, this venue is famous for their burgers, ribs, loaded fries and 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!

had the pleasure of checking out their latest creation atlaperouse, called the ‘hibernator’. 
i also have a sneak peak for you guys! there are burger & rib platters coming soon to bare grill, surry hills. so keep you eyes peeled folks! 

the ‘hibernator’ breakfast platter (only available on weekends) was full to the rim of a tower of bacon, french toast, bircher, pancakes, smoked salmon, eggs 3 different ways and seasonal fruits! they also change it up with breakfast burgers, fruit toast, and raspberry coolies on their pancakes. food was great and i loved the bircher which was sweet but delicious, would definitely come with a group!
and what’s great about this platter is kids under 10 eat free! eva also makes sure to put extra pancakes for the kiddies 😊 what a great breakfast addition down atlaperouse! but secretely i cannot wait for those burger & rib platters to make an appearance down at surry hills!!

bare grill is a burger joint inlaperouse famous for its raclette cheese, a semi hard cows milk cheese that is melted onto their burgers. we have seen this all over instagram and heard great things about their food and their crazy burgers so we couldn’t wait to try out the place. we came here on sunday night and the place was packed, luckily we had made a booking. we ordered two burgers, a beef burger and a chicken burger. the first burger was the trip burger with beef patty, bacon, onion rings, hash brown, american cheddar and truffle mayo. we decided to add the raclette cheese onto this burger and it was the best decision ever. the cheese was so rich and decadent and went perfectly with the juicy burger patty and bacon, with the truffle mayo adding an amazing truffle flavour with every bite. the rich, creamy explosion of flavours is definitely not for the faint hearted!

been here once and will comeback again if i go tolaperouse. nice comfy place and the burgers are nice but i think the bottom buns a bit soggy. great service.

follow my insta @burgersnbikinis for more food pics!

if you've read my bare grill on bourke review then you might have a solid understanding of just how much of a bare grill fan girl i am. freaking love this place!

this is the og store inlapa that started it all, and has a nice outlook over the park. for this visit we ordered the trip burger - which is a monster packed with truffle mayo, cheese and onion rings. we shared this!

and of course you don't come here without ordering the epic fries. actually remembering how good they were, i could cry.

a super chill burger joint and afterwards you can enjoy the beautiful surrounds as you walk off the kilos of cheese you just consumed, or you can just head down to the beach and have a lay down as you nurse your food baby!

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 inlaperouse!

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 loaded fries too!

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

bare grill does it all. the staff and the amazing manuel are heroes to the cause and giants in a burger market that is breaking at the seams. they are also humble nice guys and gals and this makes a huge impact in a field of chef competition and ego. the food, especially those burgers, are impressive and memorable meals you can rely on time and time again. get thee buns out to thelaperouse or surry hills venue for a feast you will enjoy.
