Breakfast, the best kept secret in Bay City. Always friendly staff and breakfast menu has many choices. We have never had a bad meal. I can't comment on lunch or dinner, because we go to breakfast there often. Very nice neighborhood bar/restaurant. read more

I was drawn into here by their FB post of the western burger and Blake's triple jam cider on draft. Neither disappointed. The burger was "eat with a knife and fork" big. Beer served in a frosted mug that is always an added treat. Full bar, high/low top seating. Lots of TV's. Somewhat loud. Excellent service. Side door, Lot and street parking. Small restroom. Great local bar with competitive prices. I will return. read more

Update because it just gets worse. This place gets 1 star on vibe alone. I tried so many times, but maybe I should have saved myself the anguish and money. Have you ever had multiple people stare through you? Just completely ignore your presence and stare through you. I tip on take out! I just wanted my food! Nobody said hi at any point while I was standing at the bar- even though there were literally 7 people standing behind it. Or acknowledged I was a human. At one point I thought maybe I WAS a ghost and I wouldn't even be able to eat my wings. Finally, one person helped me and I was able to get out of there. It wasn't the waiting that got me, if you're busy you're busy.. it was the absolute apathetic vibe that has been present every time I've been. I can tell this is a "regular" heavy place, and maybe that's it. But I'm all set with it. read more

Great burger's , cold beer and fantastic service! Lots of TVs to catch all the games. One of Bay City's best watering holes.

Barney's bar and grill is an absolute Little gem in the South end of Bay City. Their menu is quite large for such a small place, and you won't go home hungry in fact you'll probably have leftovers to take home with you. The staff is genuine and the drinks are ice cold. On the corner of Michigan avenue and 28th Street, Bay City Michigan. Stop by and say hi to us we would love to see you. read more

Almost full at 5 :30 Monday. Neighborhood bar. Sat at bar. Server was delightful. Burger was terrific and Big- took half home. 5

We stopped in on a Thursday night after hearing good things from coworkers. The inside is so clean and well taken care of. The ambiance is inviting! Our service was great and very fast. We loved seeing pictures of the menu items on the various TVs before we ordered. We got chicken strip platter and the Rueben. The Rueben was to die for and so was the chicken!! We will be back to try more menu items!!! read more

Amazing Barney melt and great service!! We also enjoyed the chips and homemade salsa. Can't wait to go back!

This one is tough. I wanted so hard to like this place- a solid neighborhood bar that I could go grab a great burger. Unfortunately, I didn't get that experience. A party of four of us headed out on a Frida night to see what the burgers were all about. The place was packed and loud. Even though the atmosphere wasn't the best, we had high hopes for our food. Two of us got burgers, one chicken strips and one a melt. After waiting over an hour for our food, we were told it would be right out. That's fine, we arent in a rush and its busy. Ten minutes later, the table beside us gets all the same stuff we ordered (coincidence?). Our waitress came out to ask us what we ordered again- obviously it wasnt going to be "right up". After another half hour or so, our food finally arrived. The burger had good seasoning but was way overcooked and weirdly chewy. Chicken strips were like something you pulled out frozen from the WalMart frozen food section. Saving grace were the fries, which were homemade and very good. Maybe I'll give this place another shot, or maybe I wont. My feelings wouldn't be hurt either way. read more

Stopped in on the way back from up north and had a great experience. Bartenders and customers were so friendly and welcoming. That was already enough for us to love it here but then we had their drinks and food and were amazed. One of the best burgers I've ever had and an amazing drink for a great price. This will definitely be our spot whenever we are in town. Only down side is it's an hour from where we live or we'd be regulars for sure! read more

This place is always on my list of things to do when I come back home. There's no burger like the one you get a Barneys!
