My father was a regular here and loved it. He unfortunately passed in October. Same thing with my mom who recently passed. If I needed to find them and they weren't home I knew that they were here. If you want a great meal, good service and wonderful company come here. They're food is reasonably priced too. Their bay burger, steak, and mash potatoes are rolling
Best neighborhood bar ever!I was a nice place to run it with somebody that you know very casual !Whatever sporting event you’re into, they probably have it.Lovely bartenders.Great Lobster special on Tuesday I believe
Great neighborhood Bar & Grill with cold beer, great food, and excellent bartenders. Great deal on steaks, burgers, and sometimes Lobsters, crawfish, or hot boiled shrimp. It's a secret treasure if you're looking for fun with a nice fun crowd. …
Just a simple but fun bar for locals. Rib eye is pretty good too after some from drinks. My friends and I always have a good time when we are there. They even hosted a cancer benefit for my sister-in-law once. That makes them a five-star location in my book!
Awesome steak on steak night M W F. Bay tots a hot item too.
I come here for lunch often while im in the area, just convinient. Wait time varies, at times could be 10 m and sometimes is 20 m to 30 m depending on how busy they re, but 7 dollars plus a drink(not included) for luch is very hard to beat. Salisbury steak on thursday is very good, it comes with brown gravy, onions, real mashed potatoes, green beans. The meat was charbroiled and well done but not dry, and well seasoned. This place serves some of the best Salisbury steak ive had hands down. Serving size is just right for me but maybe someone who can eat alot wouldnt fill up.
Great neighborhood bar with good food , friendly regulars, and the service one would expect from a small establishment needed tokeep you coming back.
Great friendly crowd. Lots of seating inside or at outdoor tables. Great menu & HAPPY HOUR. They do a steak day/night Monday, Wednesday & Friday. They boil fresh Seafood every Friday night. Lots of parking. Lots of TV's inside & outside for sports. Bay Cafe is a non-smoking bar/restaurant. If you are a smoker, you can smoke at outdoor tables or they have a second bar next door (Whiskey Bar) where you can smoke, play pool or darts Best Happy Hour around. My favorite neighborhood happening bars
