Bates Bar & Grill

Hands down one of my favorite places to go! They have the most friendly staff and the management is BOMB! They always makes me feel super homey. There’s such a big variety of food so it’s perfect for a night out or when you’re hungover.

My friend and I went to Bates bar and grill . We liked it. I got a Cesar salad and coconut shrimp..

Normally, I don’t have the patience or effort to go online and make a review that most likely no one will see. But I am extremely displeased with Bates and will never give them my service again for the following reasons. One of my friends were denied service because of a private conversation we were having about politics. I could be wrong about this specific fact, but I personally felt like this had transpired because she didn’t agree w our opinion... Knowing, or rather thinking this way, I told the waitress that I wanted to speak to the manager and he had came over and sat down with us. He was respectful and wanted to assess the situation and in the end realized we were not being belligerent and that we were being completely respectful to him and the establishment. After leaving I pledged not to go back there for this reason. At least, that’s what I thought. I came back there because we are regulars and I figured I’d give it another shot. This time both my friend and I had fruit flies in our drinks and other random bugs.... we didn’t make to much of it but I personally was very upset. We didn’t receive an apology, a discount on our drinks — nothing.... it’s “the season” was our explanation. They poured us another drink from what appeared to be from the same exact bottle they had used to serve us the original drink that had the bugs in them... this place used to be a great spot for my friends and I but after the last two times coming here I can assure you this place will NOT receive another dime out of my pocket.... definitely is a shame because I thought highly of this place, too, prior of this situation.... hopefully everyone else will not have the same experience as me.

Great food options, great staff, great service

Its an ok spot. Average food. Service ok too.
