History: Joe Reese and Steve McClune first met while studying Food Service at Pennsylvania State University, and later became partners to open Bare Bones Restaurant & Bar, August 1988 in St. John’s Plaza, Ellicott City. These fraternity brothers worked hard to develop what they call the "Bare Bones" concept. Baby Back Ribs were the house specialty from the start, along with other barbecue and grill items. The addition of a microbrewery in 1996 was the ultimate compliment to the Ellicott City menu and the restaurant was renamed Bare Bones Grill & Brewery. Beyond that point, the concept of a Bare Bones Grill in South Florida came to be. Bare Bones Grill in Stuart, Florida offers the same charm of Bare Bones Grill & Brewery, but with many unique menu items and waterfront access. South Floridians have come know what many in Ellicott City, MD have known for decades.
