We went to the Barn & Lodge in Gambrils for their Prime Rib and Monthly specials. My wife had the Prime Rib, I had the Butchers Cut. Both meals were done to perfection. The service was phenomenal. It may be a little pricey at times, but well worth the cost/price of the meal.

First time patronizing The Blackwall Barn & Lodge celebrating a friend's birthday was a Great Experience. We were there for the Sunday Bruch. The food, atmosphere, service were superb. I was unable to give all stars as an overall rating because one of the managers, which I will not name, came around twice in the area where I was dining and greeting every table except the my table. I informed the waiter and he informed another manger that apologized for referenced managers action. Before leaving I personally informed the referenced manager of his actions and stated that what he did could have affected the waiters tip. His last words were NOTED. SMH Too much money paid to not have great customer service from a manager.

Dining at The Blackwall Barn and Lodge was a very nice experience. The service was wonderful. Our server was very welcoming and kind. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu items and specials. We enjoyed the red snapper and pesto pasta (both were specialty entrees). We look forward to returning to this restaurant.

Our meal was delicious.
Bailey was soo accommodating. She made sure our meal was an enjoyable experience. One of us has severe allergies. Blackwell is one of the few restaurants she could eat without having a reaction.
Good job Blackwell!

Absolutely wonderful, as usual. This is our 5th year in a row coming here for our Anniversary. It gets better every time. The staff was wonderful. A special shout-out to Emma our waitress. Very kind and attentive. Very knowledgeable about the daily specials and I actually chose one (Liver and Onions, which was absolutely fantastic. I’ve never had a piece of liver that size. It was cooked to perfection. I never normally have a doggy bag when I leave a restaurant but I had one this time. I mean literally this could feed two people.
My wife had the Waldorf Steak Salad and she loved it . Generous portions again.
Gambrills has a gem in Blackwall Barn & Lodge. If you’re looking for a great evening out to have good food and drinks I definitely recommend you check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.
