Baker’s American Bar & Grille

Overall, the place is pretty good. Don’t expect to find a big crowd on a Friday or Saturday night. There’s live music on Friday and Saturday nights and the bands are usually pretty good but the the place is empty. If you come here and a bartender named Eleanor or «Ella» is working, run for the hills, or at least to the other bar. I’ve never complained about any bartender specifically, but she deserves a specific complaint. She is absolutely terrible. She is unfriendly, has a bad attitude, and pours sh*tty drinks. If you don’t have an encounter with Eleanor aka Ella, you might enjoy yourself here… If you like empty bars with decent bands. The free popcorn is mediocre at best, but wth… It’s free.

We live very close and have tried Baker’s at least a dozen times. We do enjoy the music on Friday nights so that has been the night we are usually here. We have been giving them the benefit of the doubt because they were new and working out the kinks. Well the last two weeks have made me wonder why I am a glutton for punishment.
Some constructive criticism… the male bartender on Friday night was not happy that my wine was sour. I find out that the front bar is not open during the week. Well by the time Friday night rolls around my wine (not the house wine BTW) is now open for 5 days. I suggest you rotate the red wine to the back on Sunday or whenever you close the front bar. Huge waste… And the attitude that I got was unnecessary. For $ 9.00 a glass I don’t want red wine that has turned.
He does not make eye contact with anyone. My soda is always empty unless I ask. He’s more concerned with adding items to my check and reprinting it then serving customers. He clears plates and then totally ignores an empty glass.
Overall we have found the bar staff to be inattentive. Dorothy is the only exception.
Trust me, I want to like this place. It’s close and they did a nice job on the renovations. The food is decent and getting more consistent.

We had lunch there today and there were few customers in the restaurant. We ordered our food and were forgotten. Our waitress appeared to be preparing for dinner. We both had versions of the Sante fe salad. It tasted like fish or stale either way it was not good at all. We will never go there again. It’s sad since we live around the corner.

Wanted to try this place as it is fairly new. The last place was terrible. This place is worse. Went with my wife and my son and his wife. They sat the 4 of us at a table for 2. It took forever to get our food. I tried the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Cost around $ 20. The worst ever with a fishy terrible taste. I could not rate anything we ordered as good. Will never go back.

Family visit at 5pm on a beautiful Saturday. Sat in back bar.
Place is beautiful number 1. Great service from Alicia. Happy, great recommendation on the food. Had Margherita pizza, fish tacos, and roasted wings. All rate as good as we have had or better. Best fish tacos I have eaten, in a non fresh fish place. Fried but delicious. Had pickled onion in them which added nice flavor. Pizza excellent. Brick oven. Only thing I would improve is beer selection. Nothing local on tap.
But will return.
Forgot to mention the wings. Most places we have been lately don’t know how to make good wings. Bakers does. Plus they serve naked wings, not breaded. Excellent.

Unpleasant experience. We were seated next to the stage and halfway through our meal the band showed up and began setting up. Very distracting as they were moving equipment around, behind and over us. It ruined the meal and we couldn’t wait to get out of there. Don’t think we’ll be back.

North Jersey prices in a PA restaurant… everything seemed a little overpriced… got a turkey club a burger with some bacon and a friend got a ruben something and each were 12 to 13 dollars all with a side of chips not fries… a lot for sandwiches or maybe nobody makes enough money nowadays… lol. beautiful place though

Dined here with the BFF, and our experience was a mixed bag. The good: The new décor, the service and the BFF’s dinner. Needing improvement: The noise level and my dinner.
The BFF had the chicken pot pie. It was chock full of shredded white meat, tiny potatoes and carrots and it was very lightly sauced. Topped with a beautifully browned puff pastry crust, it was one of the best versions of chicken pot pie that the BFF (who knows her way around a kitchen) had ever had.
Meanwhile, my Greek salad was a disappointment. Its sins included the following: scanty feta and olives, old cucumbers, refrigerated tomatoes (which made them mealy and unappetizing), an insipid dressing and cold chicken. Given that the kitchen clearly has the skill to execute much more complex dishes, this fail was particularly surprising BUT it is rectifiable.
The restaurant is quite noisy due to all of the hard surfaces and the absence of any sound-​deadening measures. As a result, it was difficult to speak without over the din raised voices.
Because Baker’s is new and may still be experiencing growing pains, we will not write it off quite yet. Any place that serves a well-​executed version of one of Mr. M’s favorite dishes – chicken pot pie – is worth a second look.

My son hahad the pasta with shrimp and scallops the scallops were dry and chewy 100%frozen and thawed out .My American burger was ok at best. Wont be going back any time soon.

Food was bland and over priced… Had a long hot burger, bun was soggy … Not what is expect for a 60 dollar meal… I’ve had much much better for less

Again great food and service. Varied menu. We ordered different menu items this time and had a different waiter, Branden who was equally as attentive as our last waiter and all the food was excellent and as I’m writing this Branden just brought our desert and said it was on the house for our 35^th wedding anniversary today. A really nice touch.

New place in Southampton in The former Kenny’s on Street Rd. Great happy hour. Had a wonderful waitress named Karen. Had us laughing every time she came to our table. Will go back again for sure.’

Really cool place. I love what they did with Kenny’s. Came here with a group on Sunday and we split a bunch of plates.
Nachos, calamari, and pizza was great. The chocolate cake and apple cobbler were insane. I’m out in PA about once a week and will make this a new routine pit stop.

Went last week to give this place a try with with my best friend.
Pros:The décor is amazing and there are huge tvs everywhere. It might be the perfect place to watch the game. Service was good and quick. Heinekens were 4 $!
Cons: My glass of wine of Moscato cost 9 $! 2 more dollars and i could have bought a whole bottle! My friend had an «American Burger» with bacon added costs about 11 – 11,50 $. Too much shredded letuce, barely any fries on that big plate and it just tasted ok, nothing special about it. I had a Chocolate Lava Cake (7 $) served with a bit of whipped cream ON A BREAD PLATE!!! I couldn’t believe it! Everywhere else desserts are served on big plates but there i got it on a bread plate… Btw there was no «Lava» in there. There was no melted part. It was just a slightly bitter warm cake in the shape of a small soufflé. Very disappointed with the food and high prices. I am giving it 2 stars because of the nice décor and good service.

Thanks to The American Bar for finally having some great eats and a killer band. If ever in the Area and Captain Eric And The Shipwrecks are playing at this bar you you have to visit. Great band And a great place. Thanks for an awesome night.

Amazing pizza and menu! Love this place and can’t wait to go back!!! Great atmosphere and staff!

Amazing food– even better atmosphere! The sliders were phenomenal. Highly recommend! Happy to have a new and amazing place in the area!
