The missing star is because of the service which was terrible. The food on the other hand was great. Especially the chicken and waffles I had. I'd never had chicken and waffles before, I always thought that was a weird and silly combination, and I still think that. The waffle was okay, not crispy enough for my taste, but the honey butter served with it was very good. The standout though was the chicken. 2 deep-fried pieces that were as good of chicken as I have ever eaten in my life. The breading was flaky and crunchy while the chicken was moist and tender. I could've eaten much more as the pieces were rather small. When I was growing up, just about every restaurant I went to offered fried chicken, now I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you've been foolish enough or bored enough to read any of my other reviews, you know I don't eat beef, so I have a ton of chicken. This was some of the best. read more

Awful. I used to love this restaurant. My go to for over a decade. Came today. Changed menu. Food was terrible. Nachos don't bother. Tater tots nope. Where is the Cuban sandwich? read more

I have been to this place twice. Both times the service staff looked frazzled like they were snowed with an onslaught of patrons, but the restaurant was well over half empty and they still consistently provided inattentive service. On my first visit I responded to a Monday night special promoted on their website to be told that they eliminated the special, but had not updated their website. Weeks later the website is not updated. I ordered wings that were fair, but when I asked for more Blue Cheese dressing, the second cup of dressing didn't taste like the first serving and didn't taste like Blue Cheese. When I alerted staff, they objected to my observation and proudly advised me that they make it themselves. No one tasted it to see if I was right. read more

We stopped in here because we just wanted a little something we could share to eat. They have lots of outdoor seating which is awesome if you like looking at dogs (we do). Service was definitely on the slow side but friendly. Gave me truffle fries when I ordered regular. Unfortunately I didn't realize until later they also charged me more for them. They did correct it and the food was decent. Nice atmosphere. Nice little place to enjoy some sunshine but I wouldn't go if you're in any kind of hurry because they certainly are not. read more

3.5 easy place for a quick bite between tastings. Giant patio that was full on this beautiful weekend. They were able to find us shade so we could enjoy being outside. It was busy so it took a bit of time. We all got the beet salad which was delicious. And the japanese tots had amazing flavor! Great drink list as well read more

Hubs and I were overnight in Healdsburg and walked around the square. We settled on Healdsburg Bar & Grill. We didn't have to wait long for our table. Water was served promptly and our drinks arrived soon after. We started with the perfect amount of calamari with a delectable vinegar dipping sauce. Hubs had Grilled Achiote Fish Tacos he raved about them. I had the Tuna Poke Salad and it was huge and unbelievably good. The only complaint was it had some weird rice quinoa thick and not very good cracker on it. I just pushed it off to another plate. Two cocktails,1appetizer and 2 entrees, $81 without a tip. Super reasonable. Love this place! read more

The HBG is a true gem in Healdsburg. i have been coming for years, and never disappointed one time. They just get it right. from the NYT accoladed burger, the steak, falafel, etc - they always are a hit. On my most recent visit i had the tuna poke which was awesome! try out with the wasabi dressing they offer for the salmon salad (also fantastic!). If you are in the area give them a try! The patio is great by day - and they have good late night specials on the weekends too! service is always good and friendly too. Highly recommended! read more

Bri was amazing tonight at Healdsburg bar and grill we really enjoyed our evening. Food was delicious.

Things have changed since I was last here 10-15 years ago...for the better. Food and drink were all good and the prices fair, especially for Healdsburg. Nice outdoor area on a warm day and the inside is comfortable, I like the high backs on all the chairs including the bar stools. Next time I will explore the menu a bit more. Good service and wine by the glass that I like. I will be back again and fairly soon. read more

The best in Healdsburg. Good prices with good food and great service, with a great outdoor seating area

We went to the Healdsburg Bar and Grill this past Sunday for dinner. We walked inside and stood at the hostess stand a good while and were getting ready to walk out when someone finally came to seat us. We asked to be seated outside, since the outside area looked so nice, but we were seated outside near some sort of utility enclosure. I don't know why they thought we'd want to look at that, so we moved the place settings around so we were facing the main area. The constant waving away of flies meant that we weren't able to really relax. The menu was more limited than expected, and just bar fare. We waited for at least ten minutes before anyone came to take our order. No apology or explanation for the wait. After placing our order of fish tacos and a BLAT, we waited close to 30 minutes before our food arrived. Again, no apology or acknowledgement of the long wait. When a server says something like "Sorry for the wait. We're understaffed tonight." I understand. To say nothing tells me you don't care about me or your poor service. My BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato sandwich) was fine. The bacon was good, the tomato looked anemic, and it was on uninspired white bread, but at least they toasted the bread. It was served with salad greens with some of them wilted. Not much effort there. Spouse reports the fish tacos as "Ok, nothing special." We asked for the check, and it came right away! It was the only time their service was quick. This place was a big disappointment, and not worth the time wasted there. read more

We were drawn in because we normally enjoy beer gardens and this place looks very inviting. We were comfortably seated in the garden area. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The ribs were good, but the accompanying cabbage salad was the worst I ever tasted. Flat, flavorless and soggy. It was so visually unattractive I wonder how it got out of the kitchen! The beet salad should have been good; but it was drowned in vinegary dressing, the arugula was completely smothered and wilted. Using my fork, I picked out the beets and shook them off. Also, coming from the Bay area, we both noted the dearth of Asians and people of color in the restaurant. That did give us pause. read more

We were headed home when we past by and smelled the steakness in the air. My wife said she smelled it too. So we darted across the street and went in. The people were very nice and said yes it was their grill. We had a great meal and believe it or not it was at a fair price. I had the steak with fries and she had the fish tacos. Wonderful food and service! Very happy with things all around! read more

Second time here and it was a good experience overall. We tried brussel sprouts, truffle fries, and chicken wings and everything was really good! My favorite was the brussel sprouts. Service was just okay both times I went. The first time I had to ask the server and busser 3-4 times for water and it was not even busy. The second time, it took a while for the server to come to us. If the service was a little better, I would have given a 5 stars. read more

I have never been to Healdsburg Bar & Grill before. We met some friends and stopped by for a beer and burger. It was not crowded and we sat outside in a large outdoor seating area that we had very few customers. I ordered a Lagunitas PILS beer and a Classic Cheeseburger cooked medium with fries. We enjoyed our beer and the food was brought out. The burger was cooked perfectly but the fried could have been a little more crunchy. Everything tasted good and would order again. I think we were forgotten because there were very few people out there. We had to track down an employee to get catchup and later napkins. Later another group went outside and we had better service but not great. I would certainly go back there again. read more

Great food and even better service. Everything we ordered was fresh and really tasty. The highlight of our visit was our waitress Bri.

We'll definitely be back. read more

Me and 8 others in our harley Davidson motorcycle group decided to eat lunch there. It was Easter Sunday. We got seated right away. We had great service. The food was good. Our waiter received a very generous tip from us. Only down side We were only limited to the Easter brunch menu. We had pancakes, burgers, eggs Benedicts, chicken and waffles and some other things. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was my personal first time there. I will eat there again. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would -- but Yelp requires at least one. After a fun-filled day at Lake Sonoma, my family and I decided to stop by this restaurant for an early dinner while strolling around downtown. We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids. The outdoor area looked inviting, so we thought it would be a great spot to relax with the kids. When we walked in, we noticed plenty of open tables both inside and outside, and a party of 8 already seated indoors, along with a few people at the bar. Despite this, the moment we entered, we were met with an unwelcoming atmosphere. The host appeared annoyed and uninterested in helping us. We were told there would be a 25-minute wait and that we couldn't be seated due to "staffing shortages" and not having a reservation -- even though multiple tables were visibly available. Their own website notes that reservations are optional, especially for walk-in groups. So we waited, trying to be patient. The kids played near the pool table while we passed the time. But during our wait, we watched several other groups walk in after us and get seated right away. The host wasn't using any tablet, notebook, or system to track reservations, so it's unclear how seating decisions were being made. After waiting over 35 minutes with no update -- and watching table after table fill with parties who came in after us -- we decided to leave. It was clear to us that we were not being prioritized, and unfortunately, it felt racially motivated. Every other group seated after us did not look like us -- and frankly, we felt unwelcome because of our race. To add to the hurt, we even overheard another party say, "Oh goodness, I hope we don't get seated next to them." That said everything. It's deeply disappointing that in 2025, families of color can still be made to feel like outsiders. Shame on the management and staff. If you value diversity, respect, and basic decency, I highly suggest taking your business elsewhere. We came ready to enjoy a meal together -- instead, we left feeling humiliated and discriminated against. No family should have to experience that. read more

Very dog friendly, fast service, simple but good food. We sat on the patio across from the plaza square. Plentiful dog friendly seating. Friendly service. We received prompt service which was great because we had a tasting to get to. The burgers were yummy. The wine list offered plenty of choices. Would definitely eat there again when in the area. read more

We got to have brunch here on a beautiful Sunday after walking the square with our pup. The outdoor space is great for groups, families (crayons available) , or people with pets (water bowl was provided). Food was good, prices were comparable, but serving sizes were small. Will definitely go again just for atmosphere! read more

Rude. Walked in for a late lunch. The server in the restaurant did not greet us. I assumed since she saw us and didn't greet us that it was a "seat yourself" kind of a place. I asked just incase and got a "snap" back response of "no, someone will be right with you". Maybe she's having a bad day, but I don't need to spend my time/money there to be treated poorly, so we left. I came 9 years ago and had terrible service. Thought maybe I'd give it a try again since it's been some time, nothing has changed...never coming back... read more

I paid $35 for two Aperol Spritz, with tip. I don't care if Charlie Palmer does own the place, that's too much.

This was the worst dining experience we've had in a long time. Arrived a few minutes early for our reservation. No one was at the host stand. We waited at least 10 minutes before anyone greeted us and that was after the two guys ahead of us left in frustration. Meanwhile, there were several open tables out in the courtyard, but none of them had been cleared. The manager finally came over and asked us to wait while he cleared a spot for us. He put us (two people) at a large round table, suitable for 5 or 6, right next to the cornhole game. We thought little of it, since no one was using it at the time. The menus was woefully limited, but we put in our order and proceeded to wait more than 20 minutes for the food to arrive. During this time, kids began to arrive to the "play area." Soon these unsupervised children proceeded to chase each other around tables of diners, screaming and throwing the bean bags. Meanwhile, their parents were seated at quiet tables at the opposite end of the courtyard. When we were seated, no one told us the area could get loud and active. When we mentioned it to our server we were told the restaurant was rated the #1 place for families and kids and that they certainly could NOT say anything to the parents about controlling their children. It seems like it could have been a simple thing to seat families with children near the play area and those without kids in a more normal location. They could also mention the potential commotion if there truly were no other open tables. There is also a huge difference between play areas and full speed games of tag and cartwheels among people eating dinner. Let me be clear, we like kids. But "out of control" does not equal family-friendly. read more

Solid burgers, awesome vibe for outdoor seating, good service. On a sunny day the outdoor seating is A+ with tons of tables, and awnings.
