    The food was excellent, and the service was even better! We came in later in the evening, so everything was a little quieter but still amazing. We will definitely be back again, especially for the Lavender Lemonade and the spicy cheese curds.

    J.C. was our server and he did an amazing job with our party of 10. Everything was wonderful during our first time at Barrel House. We will definitely return next time we are in town.

    It’s good, just way too expensive for what it is. I had a chicken Caesar salad for $15…

    Was in town for a race - not a bad spot to stop if you want some bar food.

    Party of 8, appetizers were yummy, especially the mushroom fries and soft pretzels. Pizza was good for a pub. Server was attentive. Not hugely busy for a Saturday night and not sure why. Would definitely go back.

    I made reservations for 3 on Valentine's Day at 7 PM. When we arrive to the restaurant, we were told that there was an issue with their reservation system and there would be a delay of 30-40 minutes. We got seated at our table at 7:50 PM. Our server Christian was fantastic! The food was a little slow coming out. I would recommend going to the Barrel House. Maybe not on a holiday & maybe don't believe your reservation means anything.
