I believe they need to update their hours on Yelp. In a search of their hours it says closed Mon-Tues and open Wed-Sun from 4 p.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. Last time we tried to eat here we drove all the way down here at noon on a Sunday and they were closed, so we headed to Miss Mammie's in Moline. They're open Wed-Sun at 11 a.m. and you can get basically anything from their menu early in the day, even steak dinners and a baked potato at Miss Mammies. You used to be able to do that here. If they can ever get their hours back in order we would probably stop here again. They did have better hours, but not at this point from what I can tell. They do have really good food here, we just can't get to it because of their limited hours.

Good food and a good view. Right next to the Mississippi river.

Casual Dining and good food and service! The ribs are great! Many great sides to choose from.

Cold food. Waitress was nice but unapologetic when we received our cold food. They forgot about our cornbread and assumed that we were done, and instead of asking us we'd like a refill on drinks, they brought out "to go bags" and gave us the corn bread and the check to go as if that's how we asked for it. We really were excited about coming here for a while and we're so upset! Don't waist your time, you'll thank me for saving your money. Such a disappointment!!! Lastly the staff didn't seem to work well with each other as they were talking about each other in front of the costumers. *OVERPRICED

It took a little while to get waited on, but I understand most establishments are short staffed. Our waitress Bobby was great.. my medium rare filet was medium well. Overall not a bad experience.

We love eating at Bare Bones out side with the view of the Mississippi River. The staff is very friendly and always accommodating. The menu selections are delicious and we always take some home. When we came on our Anniversary they served us Key Lime pie for a dessert. We definitely would recommend Bare Bones BBQ

Everything was amazing great service fall off the bone ribs and amazing salad bar. Also the corn bread is soooo good! Will be back.

The food is very good and the service was friendly and attentive, but they were out of a lot of things we tried to order and we were there relatively early for dinner (5:00). The bar was the most disappointing in this regard.Update: I just got my credit card statement and they added to the tip. Beware. I would give them no stars if I could. Stealing from customers is a reason never to return.

We ate here once and the food and service were no good. The prices are way to high, as well. We want to give it one more try but it never seems open. I really don’t think this place will make it

The view is great, the food was adequate, and the service was okay, until...the bar. They did not have the first two things I ordered: ginger ale and Tanqueray (not for the same drink). I gave a reasonable tip of 15%, given the service I received. When I looked at my credit card statement, they upped the tip. Now I have to call my credit card company and the friends that brought me there and tell them about this wretched place. Nothing like stealing from people so you can lose business.

The Mac n cheese was not very good. The ribs were not that great. Jim’s Rib Haven smokes this place hands down!! The baked beans even could have been better.

Diane Duarte

They don’t answer their phone! Finally got through but rating stays the same. Meat was dry and they forgot a side order. The sweet potato was good.

…Sunday night got in at 6:40pm there was no wait…got seated right away. Had a party of 4 and it took over 75 min for the food to get out. Absolutely ridiculous. No apologies from wait staff or even an attempt to give discount on bill. Absolutely horrendous restaurant management. This place would crumble in a bigger city setting. Won’t be coming back nor will I be recommending it to anyone in the future.
