Reviews for B-52s American Bar & Grill in Newton, NC
Place is small but they manage to move around easily. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Kids an adults can go here. A bit... expensive but the food comes out hot an ready an the alcoholic drinks are made strong.. I really can't complain about the place.My honest opinion is that I don't care much for the food prices, an food but I would eat there again an drink.. The owner camearound an shook our hands an everyone asked an checked on us in a nice manor. The waiters was nice. On Tuesdays this lady comesin an gives/makes balloon animals for the kids. HOW SWEET <3 Read more
Can't believe we've been passing this place up for all this time! Our waiter was very friendly and helpful with the menu and... knew we where new there, you could tell he knew his locals! Their homemade cheese sticks are wow and fried pickles where greatas well! The Ribeye was perfectly prepared and the daughters food was great as well! We will be back for sure, great to seeeverything going on around town! Support Local!!!!!! Read more
Found B-52s online while searching for local 'live music'. Excited to give it a try. Really wanted to love it, but there were... some good, some not so good issues. For an 'after 8' live music situation, I must say I was somewhat disappointed in the vibe. The lighting was surgically bright! Dimming after 8 might be a wise move. The singer with guitar was great and we enjoyed hissongs, although very, very loud amps for this small of a venue. The bar is beautiful and long. The bar stools are top quality aswell. We were served right away by a very friendly bar tender. The cocktail I ordered was unfortunately poured light, and thetonic was flat. I mean very flat! But points for extra lime slices : ) We ordered some boneless bites to be tossed in a hotsauce. What we received was interesting. Tiny bits of scrap chicken, over cooked, tough and virtually no sauce at all. Seemedas if it was 'sprinkled' on top of a few of them, rather than having them all tossed liberally in a sauce. Not what we expectedfrom boneless chicken bites. We enjoyed chatting with others at the bar. Seemed to be many that knew each other - a Cheers kindof place. And being a military family, we were impressed the the Wall of Heroes; an area with lots of photos of Veterans. Wewill surely go back and give it another try. The menu looks great with lots of interesting fare. Just trying to give an honestreview for the first time impressions. Read more
This was the 1st time we have been there. I've giving a 3 stars for a few reasons. The waitress never filled our teas, my... husband made a point of sitting his on the edge of the table. She didn't even ask if we would like a drink from the bar. We bothloved the food however the green beans were seasoned better then the hamburger steak. It was dry and bland. Also if you nolonger carry a item on the menu take it off. Wasn't told we were being charged a service fee till we got the check after shetook the card. My husband loved the theme with the dedication to the veterans. Read more
Great place to eat! Nice atmosphere and a tribute was to Service Men and Women. Food was reasonably price, fresh and... delicious. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful. There is a bar for drinks and live music onthe weekends. We had about a 30 minute wait, but there is a nice waiting area inside, if there is room. The fried pickles weresome of the best we have had anywhere. Read more
Never been here before so gave it a try. Food was great, staff was excellent, prices reasonable. Would recommend!
Our first time at the Bar & Grill was a truly great experience. The service was fast and friendly (thank you Ashley) and the... food was great. We ordered the standard Patriot burger and it was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is welcoming and honorsveterans. There?s even a Veterans Wall with photos of locals who have served. The pub chips are also exceptional. Very ?crunchy- not floppy? as is stated on the menu. We will Most certainly return. Read more
5 Stars all around! We visited this restaurant last week (Friday) for dinner. We were greeted as soon as we entered the door.... The hostess was very friendly and told us what the wait time would be. We put our name in and sat in the waiting area. The waitwas much faster than the original time we were quoted (which is always a nice thing!) They sat us at a table in the front nextto the bar and live music. We were worried that the music might be too loud to enjoy dinner. That wasn't the case at thisrestaurant! They have the live music volume at a reasonable level so that you can enjoy the music but still enjoy your company.The guy performing this evening was also wonderful. He played a variety of songs that everyone enjoyed. We were waited on bythe bartender (Stephen Tyler) who was phenomenal. He took the best care of us on our first visit. Anything and everything weneeded was brought to us very quickly. Mind you, the restaurant was packed and so was the bar. The food was amazing and we eachgot something different. It is also nice that the restaurant carries a black bean burger! Alyssa checked on us while we werestill at our table and she was incredibly nice. We really enjoyed each and every person that works at B-52's. Overall, it was awonderful restaurant with great food, drinks, and vibes. We will definitely eat here again the next time we are in town!
