My recent visit to The R Bar was nothing short of delightful. The service was exceptional, with a server who matched politeness with a personal touch that made us feel right at home. A tip from our server to swap out chicken strips for any of the smoked meats was a game changer—the manager’s dedication to the smoking process, a daily ritual, clearly pays off. I savored the smoked chicken sandwich; a humble offering turned extraordinary by its execution. The tater kegs, both Southwest chorizo and jalapeño popper, were bursts of flavor, exemplifying the innovation in their expanding menu.
The live entertainment provided the perfect backdrop to our dining experience, creating an ambiance that's both lively and comfortably familiar. And with a game room and patio on the horizon, The R Bar is poised to become an even more enticing hangout.
Despite the high notes, there was a minor misstep—my girlfriend’s nachos arrived later than expected and disappointingly cold. A deconstructed approach or offering chips on the side could have saved the dish and the moment. Nevertheless, this hiccup hasn’t dulled my enthusiasm for a return visit. While the nachos might not be on our next order, the draw of the house-smoked specialties will surely bring us back to The R Bar.
For those seeking a slice of local charm, great food, and a place where everyone feels like a regular, The R Bar is your spot. Just be ready for some tempting smoked delicacies that will challenge your...
Read moreStopped in for lunch and to make a game plan for riding the bikes around a storm cell that was rolling in. Service was good being only 1 bartender working and a person in the kitchen. Walking in, the first smell that hit me was the smell of overly used/burned cooking oil,(maybe they had just changed the oil) the 2nd thing was the atmosphere was just dark, (as in poorly lit) but we were hungry and wanting to stay dry. With that said, the food was very good considering most everything on the menu is deep fried except the few sandwiches they offer, but no burned oil taste which is good. We had the shrimp basket and chicken tenders basket both of which came with REAL hand cut french fries, and the lemonade was definitely delicious and cold. So all in all, it was a good experience and if your in the area, it's worth the time if your looking for good dive bar...
