I visited this bar/restaurant on a Wed night with a handful of Malencheks!  Some of us got there in time for the happy hour specials which were:
- 2 for 1 miller lights on tap 
- 2 for one Margarita
In my opinion, nothing too saucy but it did the trick!


The outside bar was very clean, the bartender was very nice and the awning kept us out of the very hot sun!  They had a one-man band playing on the sandy part of their lot and some people set up a blackjack table but I really had no idea what for.  The music was 90's alternative which is always a pleasure for me but it was a bit too loud for a crowded bar.


Once the rest of the family arrived, we headed in the AC portion of the restaurant to order some grub.  The menu was filled with "standards"; they had sandwiches, quesadillas, fish taco's and burgers.  We started off with the guacamole but I found it to be extremely lack luster.  The chicken quesadilla I ordered was very good!  Unfortunately the pasta dish my Aunt Loren ordered was super oily; she literally had to pour the oil from her bowl into an extra glass on the table just so she could enjoy herself. 


I would say the biggest downfalls for this place was the restaurant area.  The food was average, the waitress didn't turn down the music inside so we could barely hear each other, she also forgot to turn on the lights for us so we had to turn it off ourselves and our food came out like an hour after the appetizers were finished.  In her defense it was also very busy with the bar patrons orders as well.


In all, I would say the Bamboo Bar and Grill is a very fun and comfortable for the the bar scene.  I wouldn't suggested anyone specifically to go there to eat food but to hang out for a drink and eat "bar" food... I would say go for it!.
