Robert's Place

Stumbled in here on a recommendation of a friend that has a beach house in the area.  We came for the wings and were NOT disappointed!! They were the perfect doneness and flavor was great!

Great bar and bar food! Went with a group of 6 and had plenty of food with great wings etc. The real surprise were the ribs! Amazing!!!

This is one of the best bars I have been to. Its small (or intimate depending on how generous you are), the tables are smooshed together and one even has a pole that prevents you from seeing people at your table. There are TV's everywhere and the bartenders and waitstaff will take care of you like family. Its not for everyone and if you are looking to go clubbing and "be seen" then go to the other side of Margate... If you are looking for a cold beer and some damn good bar food, welcome home.

"The Good "
-Beer... really, its cold and they have the usual suspects.
-The food is great. The wings are fantastic, Buffalo Shrimp are real jumbo shrimp in the same hot sauce, the BBQ Pork wings are a giant piece of Rib goodness. The burgers are the best on the island and they have fresh seafood specials in season. Even the pizza is good. Again, its bar food, so if you are looking for fine dining this is not the place for you.
- Did I mention the wings??
-The attitude - The bar itself is not trying to be something that it is not. It's a local bar with room for more. The people who feel out of place, may be just that. But if you go in looking to enjoy your night you will do just that.
-Jukebox - The digital ones that can access the jukebox of the internets.
-Cafeteria trays pose as plates... awesome.
-The waitstaff are cuteys.
-The Flyers poster that features the Stanley Cup team from the 70s.

"The Meh"
-The catch 22 wish is that it is too small and could be a little bigger, and if you do not like the occasional bump/elbow/loud laugh/sneeze from perfect strangers then you may want to find another place. The reason that this is not under the bad category is that if it were bigger it would not be Robert's.
-Street parking and the lot around the corner could fill up fast, but unless someone did the math and calculated the number of patrons vs. the number of spots you should be good.
-Location - If you are going bar hopping this place could not be further away. If you are going there as the destination you are good to go.
-The BBQ is unique and may not be for everyone, if you want BBQ go to Kansas City. I would swear that there is either liquid smoke or something that has a tang but the mystery is better than knowing.
- If you have a small bladder or do not feel like walking through the masses after every two beers sit near the back, that is where the restrooms are.

"The Bad"
-They have a cigarette machine in the back for the smokers but thankfully its nonsmoking. $30.00 in quarters can take some time for the people who still smoke...
-Cash only - I understand the why, but still its 2010, I think credit cards are going to catch on.
-The occasional group of people that come up to your table and check to see how far along you are in the meal and start having a conversation about which table will be available first... here's an idea, take your rear end to the bar and let people eat in peace. Refer back to small, intimate place.
-Bottled water only (for cash) - again I get the why, tables eating dinner asking for a pitcher of water... to camp out for three hours...Really?? Really?!?
