Bread & Bone Wood Grill

These guys make a bloody good burger! And they do fried chicken! What is not to love?
On this visit we tried both and were very pleased. The burgers were great and they came with chips — which is a fantastic bonus as then I don’t feel guilty eating them. The fried chicken came as either hot or bloody hot. We tried the hot and the waitress gave us the bloody hot sauce on the side — delicious and not as crazy hot as I would have thought given the name.
They also make a mean milkshake here and they can be alcoholic milkshakes if you desire. Well worth a visit and I would love to give them another go when I am next in Adelaide.

This place has an amazing ambience. The tables with the lamps hanging over them, the tables that swing when seated on the couch (clever), the black brick bar and the curved steel above it.
Food was fabbo. The hot chicken wings left a real zing in your mouth. The really hot ones must be something to behold.
The slow cooked beef was sweet and pull apart tender. It went well with the slaw. We also had the Philly cheese sandwich, which was incredibly well balanced with the pepper chutney.
Server was excellent.

Visited Bread and Bone on a Saturday arvo. Pretty busy and you can see why! The BEST burger in Adelaide without a doubt. Cool place to grab a bite, nice variety of beers/​ales plus a good wine list. Service was superb very attentive. Try the sardines for starters… WOW.

Holy Schnitzels Batman! Another burger joint?
Well, the 3 musketeers walked in, mouths watering and were ushered to an end of a table. We wanted wine but the list of prices was well over the general mark up trend. When politely inquired about the list, the smug waiter just tossed us off — we were just another number on the evening, not a customer worth of attention. So we went for beers.
Food came along, we sampled the tiny ribs (as in small with little meat), and the burgers and a salad. Two sad looking chili sauces sat on the table. The ribs were close to the worst ribs I’ve had (over cooked, generic sauce and flavors, almost no meat and over $ 20 for the 6 calcium and marrow sticks). Burgers were fine, nothing special but worthy of the gobble gobble. However, the prices were over the top for what we were getting. Perhaps popularity and the effort to appease the masses has affected the original strive for quality and pushing the burger boundaries.
If this is among the best burgers in Adelaide, we are in culinary trouble. Meh, I’ve definitely experienced better.

While the bunless B&B burger (gluten free) was tasty, I would have gotten the same amount of filling from a McDonald’s burger. Very thin patty, barely any bacon and stingy on the veg and no compensation for no bun. Overpriced, with or without the bun.

Pretty great (from an out of towner’s point-​of-​view). Adelaide looked v. sketchy out tonight, this place was clearly the right choice. Good burger, great beer (Sierra Nevada Torpedo on tap) and a super cute (and sweet) bartender. Done.

Sweet place, good craft beers. Burgers are expensive if size matters to you, but let’s face it that huge burger you normally eat may look like good value but you’ll never finish it.
I tried the B&B. The meat was smoked and cooked perfectly, full of flavour. fries were heavily salted but I like them that way.
The bar staff were attentive and friendly. it was quiet but at least they weren’t acting bored.

Without a doubt is the best burger in the town. We ordered the 300 and B&B. The patties were cooked to perfection (medium) the buns were butter toasted and fluffy the relish, the cheese and the sauce and the fries were just absolutely perfect, very lovely and professional staff and all and all was a perfect combination of flavours.
Can’t wait to try it again.
It is the place for real burger lovers.

Excellent food, great decorum. A great place to go for an easy, fun meal with friends. Great selection of comfort food and cocktails. Try the soft shell crab burger.

I have eaten here about 8 times now, love the burgers and the beer they put on tap. My favourites are 3 little pigs and the soft shell crab. Keen to try some of the hot dogs, but always go back to the burgers! Good chips too, very big serve for one, which is a good thing

I’ve heard so much about B&B Wood Grill, good and bad, but it’s considered one of the better burger spots in Adelaide so I pretty much have to check it out! I’ve never eaten at Peel Street. It’s a funky little alley street with a few bars and restaurants through it and I really like the atmosphere. With B&B I prefer sitting outside with the dim lights and fresh air.
It may be known for its burgers, but never mind that… I’m coming back for the hotdogs– ‘meat in tube form’ as Anthony Bourdain would say. Actually I’ve been twice already this past week to get the B&B hotdog because I like it that much. It’s a salty, greasy and delicious mess. It’s pretty much guaranteed that it’s going to fall apart at some point.
It’s just a bacon wrapped vienna, onion rings, kewpie and ketchup and cheese but oh my god it’s delicious and amazing! The sausage is of good quality, the casing has that nice snap and firm bite. The onion rings take it to the next level and gives some nice crunch because apart from sausage and the bun there’s not much texture in a hotdog. The brioche was also wonderful– shiny and soft like it should be.
The service can be a bit slow like the second time, but to their credit they brought everything out pretty much at the same time, for a table of five. The fris also come unsalted but there is a dish of flaky sea salt that you can sprinkle over them. One more negative is the price. It’s $ 18 or $ 19 for the hotdog and fries which is a tad pricey for a hotdog but it’s so good I’ll come back for it anyways.
After B&B a few nights ago we went out for dessert and my friend and I were still commenting on how nice the hotdog was! I’m definitely coming back to get it again… or should I try something else? I’ve tried one or two of the burgers. They’re not bad but didn’t blow me away. Hotdog and cider sounds much better. They have only 2 desserts but I saw something interesting but can’t remember what it was.

We went to Bread and Bone on Saturday night at about 8:30pm, and with 7 of us we obviously had a bit of a wait. The staff there were very friendly and directed us down to Maybe Mae below to wait for a table.
After about 45 minutes, we had our table and were ordering burgers. I went for the B&B and grabbed a mismatch ale. The interior of this place felt a bit crammed with the bench tables, but it’s probably the best layout to fit as many people as possible. The interior has it of a 1920’s/ industrial vibe about it with cool black metal pendant lights springing out from the middle of the tables.
The burgers took about another 40 minutes to get to us and although they were quite small for the price, they were very tasty. Probably the most similar burger I’ve had in Adelaide would be Nordburger. Well cooked and had great sauce. The fries though were a bit lacklustre and reminded me of McDonald’s fries on a very good day. Typical french fries.
All in all I see what the fuss is about and would like to visit again on a less busy night to see if the speed of service and quality improves.

Trendy is what it is plus that with tasty burger perfect fit. Close to other entertainment venues make it a perfect location for food before an outing

Well, I finally made it to Bread and Bone and I was not disappointed! For some reason I had been putting it off, thinking it was just another burger place and nothing to get excited about. Boy was I wrong! We managed to nab a table for 4 at about 7:30pm on a Saturday night with no reservation (miraculous!) and straight away I had my eye on the fried chicken. My American palate is picky about fried chicken, after spending so much time living in a country where you can buy fried chicken from the salad bar at the supermarket and it’s better than anything you can get here. The rest of our party ordered burgers — they all looked good but I didn’t waste any stomach space tasting them — I had a rather huge task ahead of me! The fried chicken came with two HUGE breast pieces, on the bone, and a fresh, tasty coleslaw to cut through the grease. I also ordered a side of the creamy mashed potato because duh. I shredded all of my chicken off of the bone straight away because I actually really don’t like picking meat off of bones and would rather just get that part out of the way. It was delicious. My qualm is that the breading was pretty thick, which wouldn’t have mattered if it was just one breast piece but seriously I could barely finish half of my meal.
The service was excellent, our waitress was so super friendly and so was the young man working the door who got us our table. We shared a carafe of the tempranillo, very nice, and also shared an entrée, the pork belly skewers. These were disappointing because in my opinion pork belly is a useless piece of meat unless it’s been baked until super crispy. I think these had been grilled or something.
Anyway, I’ll definitely be back, loved the atmosphere and I was very impressed by the prices.

Well would love to have tried the food but alas… walked up on a Wednesday night at 7pm to see if i could get a table for 5 people at 7.30pm. Told sure in half an hour but go down stairs to maybe mae have a drink and ill call your mobile…2 hrs later nothing… so go upstairs to be told well nothing held here for you as you didnt book. Bad. Bad. Service. Really rude attitude from start to finish. .as in we are too cool so you should be so lucky. Wont even bother to try again.

Really nice burgers by the looks of things, there is only one vego one so I can only judge from that.
This place nails the little things too. The chips are great, as are the onion rings.
Solid choice for lunch, a little more expensive than it should be though, in my opinion.

Oh gosh — how have I not yet reviewed this place?! These burgers are divine! The same people behind Press (who have my favourite burger in town!) — so of course they totally hit the mark.
With a cheese burger (served with skinny fries) starting at only $ 12.50, prices are also very good. There is a range of great options — some great burgers, hot dogs and meaty choices, as well as a couple of delicious desserts (In the past I’ve had the salted caramel popcorn soft serve, though I noticed that it wasn’t on the menu on my last visit — sad face!)
The service is friendly and polite and although the place does get busy, it doesn’t get toooooo loud (it’s a little loud but not the worst).
I’ll always be back — because I really like this place — but the reason my review is missing one star? Everyone likes this place and you can’t book a table — like they do not take bookings, which is a bit of a burden if you want to ‘plan’ a night out — however you can always wait!

We came here on a Tuesday night after work and it was PACKED! Who would have thought? The atmosphere is totally hipster (in a good way), very stylish and relaxed. We sat at the bar, as there were no free tables — but that didn’t feel weird at all ;)
I ordered the ‘Three Little Pigs’ burger — ‘roast pork, heritage ham, smoked bacon,
wombok, kewpie, confit onion, cheese, green sauce’. Seriously, this the BEST burger I have ever had in my life — totally amazing! My partner had the Special Fried Chicken which was served with house slaw, which was equally amazing.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and made us feel very welcome.
We will definitely be back again very soon!!!

Still my favourite! Service excellent and manager always goes the extra mile to accomodate you. High energy vibe and great music including Tom waits and nick cave at times. Food can be a bit salty but not as much as jack ruby. Burgers are yum and so are hot dogs with quality meat cooked to perfection. love the beer especially the hoppy ales which are often rotated! They also have red wine on tap! Havent tried dessert yet which is a changing couple of slushies from their machine which are usually unusually flavoured.
Maybe Mae cocktail bar is below and has the same beers on tap. Same owners I think. Do you like rockabilly? Prob not important as it has a great vibe anyway.
Update on music in b&b — esoteric is prob an understatement as it ranges from Lionel Richie to modern electronica.

Further to my previous review, I finally returned here to try the food for a lunch time birthday celebration.
Firstly, as is the trend nowadays, you can’t reserve a table which can be a pain if you’re set on a place and want to ensure you can get in. The three of us came in at 12pm and the place wasn’t too busy so we were okay for that. Seating is at the again, ever-​trendy communal tables which I’ve previously expressed much hate for. Happily, I was not immediately encroached upon although Loudy McLoud and his mate were propped at the end of our table.
The menu features an array of the burgers and dogs that are so popular right now as well as some fairly pricy main meals. I wanted the fried chicken but because I hate coleslaw, asked to swap for potato salad which I assumed — being the same price as the coleslaw on the sides menu — had the same perceived value. No. We can’t do swaps. Really? You can’t scoop out of one bucket and not the other? Side-​eye.
I went for the BB burger instead which came with fries. It was tasty, fresh and flavourful and the fries were fries. It was all good and the glass of sparkling that accompanied it was also good. The space has that industrial feel so popular at the moment with pressed copper sheeting on the ceiling, statement filament lighting and an open kitchen with black feature walls and polished concrete floor — be mindful if you’re wearing heels.
To summarise, I enjoyed my meal but with so many new option to try in Adelaide, I wouldn’t rush back.
