The beer is good but the BBQ is overpriced and underwhelming. The sides are no good.

Good pub food, great beer, and awesome.ambiance.Everything about this place is worth the visit. Limited menu, but the three different things we ordered were all great.

The BBQ is not good. Tri-tip was dry, tasteless, and (blessing in disguise) laughably small portions for the nearly $30 price tag. Tater tots were sad. Although we did like the coleslaw side that includes pickled onions, and the big mixed green salad was very fresh, it is too hard to overlook the expensive and lame meat. Beer menu was heavy on IPAs--we're tired of bitter IPAs and the staff were curt and not interested in helping to pick something out (it's not like they're busy). The food quality is panned in other reviews so does not seem like merely an off day.

The food is good ... But it is not the BBQ you dream about.

I decided to write this review because I am currently staring at the leftover malt butter that was served with my warm pretzel and I am holding back the urge to Jell-O shot it right back into my mouth because it was BEYOND AMAZING and I would hate to waste such a gift. Get the pretzel, get the jugo Nuevo and get here if you're looking for your next spot to take the family, to take a date or to just take yourself! Also shout out to the staff for the quick service. Everything that could go right, did!

After waiting 53 minutes they brought the food cold and the chicken was also dry.

Great beer and tasty bites from cool people in an environment that would be intimate if it wasn't so deafening.

Mixed feelings about The Rake at Admiral Maltings. Let's do the positives first.- Great selection of beer- Extremely warm and helpful staff- Nice overall vibe to relax with a few friends and lots of drinksNow for the negatives...well, there was only one negative albeit a rather large one. Their BBQ is awful. Not one single BBQ order was decent. The salads were better than the meat, and the tater tots were decent, but we didn't finish any of the plates we ordered.I would recommend eating somewhere else and then coming here for drinks.

Nice stop in Alameda. Beer was good. I also enjoyed the sausage with potato salad and pretzel. Perfect to sit out on an afternoon!

I would return for the beer but not the food. The tater tots were not crispy or hot and tasted as though they were made hours ahead of time. Also ordered the brisket sandwich which came with chips and a pickle. The brisket was tender but didn’t taste like it was seasoned at all. The sandwich had spinach, red onion, peppers, an orange sauce and was a bit odd. The flavors didn’t go well with the brisket and left me wishing there was barbecue sauce and a more traditional BBQ flavor profile.The service was friendly, prompt and welcoming.Loved the atmosphere, plenty of outdoor seating at colorful picnic tables and a fair amount of indoor seating as well. We arrived on a Sunday around 3pm, lots of places to sit.Kid friendly, there were lots of families with babies or school age children.
