E Bones Grill - Old Ellicott City

I was not at all impressed with the restaurant. I had heard from others that it was a great atmosphere and amazing food. Arrived, and there was a church group, I am a Christian as well, that was in another part of the restaurant, but they were so loud and so distracting that we could not hear our own conversation. I ordered lettuce wraps from the appetizer menu which should have been cubed chicken with teriyaki sauce, green onions, etc. What they brought was a fish taco meat with corn. It was disgusting and if I had a allergy to fish, it could’ve been disastrous. I asked to see the manager who came out and took my Complaint and asked if there was anything else that I wanted. She also said she would cover another round of drinks for me.I ordered coconut shrimp, which was meh. When the bill arrived, she had taken the cost of my original lettuce wraps off, but charged me for my drink. Twice. So I actually end up paying more than I would have if I’d stuck with the original items ordered.Give it a big thumbs down and a C for effort. Probably will not return.

Depends on what you're there for. If it's for dancing and a night at the Bar definitely a good spot. If you want a quiet good meal then go during the week before 7pm.

Definitely get the ribs. Chili is also very good... but order without onions if not a fan.The appetizer sampler is a great deal. The manager, Derek, is the bomb. Breezy Jenn, great waitresses. Great draw is the live music usually on both Friday and Saturday nights. Check the website for music schedule.

Only minor criticism was that the grilled chicken in my Caesar salad was dry as a bare bone.

We (family of 5) have been to Barebones many many times and had excellent experiences. Unfortunately, today’s experience we want to forget. Felt like absolutely no one cared about the customers today! Stood by the door for 10 minutes and no one cared to seat us. The bartender clearly saw us and ignored, my son went to the lady thought was the manager and ignored us. Finally a young busboy came and seated us after 12 minutes. We then ordered the food. The food has never/never been this bad. The burger and fries were extremely cold, the sides were never served. The waiter was kind enough to remove the burger from the check to make things better. No one on the staff throughout our 60 plus minutes in the restaurant will ever make eye contacts with the customer. That is absolutely bad customer service. Not sure the management will do anything to reconcile this situation. Loyal customers like us pays the bill, salaries, keep the restaurant alive. It was our pre New Year family dinner. The restaurant did everything to ruin it with such a horrible experience. The waiter came to take the order and never came back to check on us on our food. Everyone appeared to be busy getting ready to close and leave on time!!! Bad bad bad experience. But, forgetting today’s experience, we will come back again to give one more chance. Happy New Year!!!
