Reviews
Will definitely be back. Great food and fast service. All of the food was well cooked and had good seasoning. The staff were friendly and brought the food out within about 10 minutes. Very impressed with both the service and the meal. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Probably the best I’ve had.
Can’t speak on the service as I got takeout. I live 5 minutes away, picked up the food ASAP and then drove home immediately. I personally got the chicken quesadillas and my gf got the Nashville hot chicken. I wish I had taken a picture of the quesadillas when I opened them - all of them were on top of eachother and very soggy… and they were on top of the pico de gallo and sour cream. All the food was sitting on the sauces they had put within it and it was honestly awful. No taste to it - superrr soggy.
The Nashville hot chicken bun was so soggy it couldn’t even be held up. Limp as they come. The chicken breading itself was literally wet.
The cheese curds were good - not $15.00 good. Maybe 9 bucks max.
Can say with full confidence I’ll never come back. We threw away the food and went to McDonald’s.
($58 meal btw)
Went at 2pm, wasn't busy, service was great. I believe Rachel? Was our waitress was checked in and made sure everything was ordered properly. The gentleman that brought out our pretzels was super friendly and also check in after our meals were delivered. We both got their shakes, OMG Amazing! I wish we weren't just visiting the area so we could go back!
The food was good, the environment was fantastic. We did have to wait a bit to be seated (there were not many ppl on a weekday lunch time on the day we went). Our order of food was 100% spot on but I ordered water and was given Red wine and my husband ordered a Gooseneck beer and was brought a shot of Grey Goose. I immediately spoke up bc it was clearly not what I ordered/said. He apologized but still charged me for the wine (which I did not drink). Mistakes happen but I feel like he could have handled it better. (Ex. If you think someone said wine, wouldn't you have asked what TYPE of wine...red, white, etc...). Overall, we enjoyed the visit but will double check/have them reconfirm my order next time if we go back.
Edit to add: Ashlee responded immediately to my email. I will update my review once I return.
Highly recommend coming and asking Sabrina to be your server. She was by far the best waitress we have had at any restaurant ever. Food was amazing. Got a milkshake and dessert and you can tell they were made with love by her. She expressed multiple times how much she loves making them and made our experience amazing. By far the nicest, most enthusiastic waitress around. She embodies customer service and hospitality. We will be going back just for her.
I wish I would’ve read the reviews before coming.
I asked the hostess for outside seating, her response was I don’t think there are any tables.. we walked in past multiple open tables, there wasn’t even an attempt to check.
We were seated behind a wall with menus and sat there for 20 minutes with no acknowledgment. I went to the hostess to ask about service, she pointed out a waitress and said to grab her 🙄
After we were finally greeted by Alonna things started to go positive for a bit, her attitude was pleasant and she was quick with drinks and food. The food had a nice presentation.
The appetizer came out with food, which made it feel rushed.
I asked for no Swiss cheese, please switch to cheddar and there were still remnants of what they attempted to pull off which didn’t help with the flavor already being on the chicken.
My sweet potato fries came out room temp, eventually we’re switched out.
The food was wayyy over priced for the quality that came out.
Came on a work lunch, couldn't eat the salad, coworkers burger was meh dont know how it could not be a frozen patty given the shape of it but i could be wrong, walked in when they opened with 1 table seated and didn't leave for an hour, …
I've been to Barrel House twice, and I enjoyed my food both times. It has a nice modern layout, and a wide selection of interesting food choices. This visit I settled on the Cowboy Burger. The burger was perfectly cooked, well done and not …
