Well, I have read some of the other reviews here and I'm extremely surprised at the negative comments. I ended up here by chance as the place next door wanted to charge $75US for sun lounger, and when the guy saw my face drop, he took me to Barefoot, where the price is less than half - $50Bajan Dollars for the day. I had a few beers and cokes, a fish (swordfish) salad and chips. It was fresh and ok it took 30mins to arrive, but come on, this is a beach, it's Barbados and everything here is laid back (and thank goodness it is) so I had zero issue.
The cost was about $110 BD Dollars, equal to about £45 for a lounger, beers, fresh fish meal and coke. Is that a rip off? Don't be silly, it's great value and all on a beach far, far away from the demanding and moaning folks of the UK!
Yes, it's a stall between two small walls, but is that an issue??!!
If you want swanky and glam, go next door, but expect to spend oodles of cash and get exactly the same service.

Barefoot in the Bar was seriously the worst part of our time in Barbados. I personally disagree with the positive comments on this review page. We were sent here by an employee from a different restaurant, who we later found out was her friend who was sending the tourists her way. When we arrived, we made the mistake of not asking the price beforehand. We were sat by the beach which was nice, but the chairs and tables were uneven. We waited an hour and a half for our food and it was NOT good. The meat looked and tasted like it came from a can. The other food wasn’t anything great. The portions were also pretty small. She then charged us $50 US dollars per plate, claiming it was the Christmas platter price. She also told us that she was the cheapest in the area. I don’t believe that after going to other restaurants. I have never left a review until now, but I felt like I need to warn others so they don’t make the same mistake we did.

We got robbed!!!
Drinks and food from a red trailer between 2 wall on the beach… we thought “is good to support local small business instead of big fancy places!!!” So we chose this place!
Finally this was Seriously The most expensive place we eat in the island and we have being in many restaurants ( this one had even no services!!) and we waited one hour and half to be served our food which was nice but very small portions…

We met Janice at the beach, she found us as we were seeking shade under the palm trees. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning, great for family or friends! The absolute BEST rum PUNCH in all Barbados so far! Thank you Janice!

Barefoot in the Bar was, without exaggeration, the worst dining experience of our entire trip. The food felt like complete robbery for the price. What we received was nothing special at all—mostly cold meat, a very small salad with no dressing, and some rice. For a plate that cost around $50 USD (not including a drink), the quality was shocking.
To make matters worse, the wait time was nearly an hour and a half, which is completely unacceptable given the simplicity of the food. The setting didn’t help either—it’s essentially a food truck wedged between two fences, offering little to no atmosphere. Definitely not the kind of environment you’d expect for the most expensive meal on the island.
When we raised concerns, the owner tried to gaslight us by insisting this was the “cheapest meal around,” which was simply not true and incredibly frustrating. Ironically, this one meal for my family cost almost as much as our entire week-long car rental.
Overall, this was our worst experience on the island and felt like nothing more than a tourist trap. I would never eat here again and would strongly advise others to spend their money elsewhere.
10/10 do not recommend.
