My companion got a frozen coffee and she said it was to die for. That means it was good! Definately my go to from now on and I have to drive about 25 minutes, but it is so worth it. The only thing it lacks are intimate little nooks. But you can't have everything. However, the place was spotlessly clean, including the restroom and that was all gender. You looking for a place to call yours, this is it. The owner was on premises and went out of her way to speak with every patron and made sure their order was perfect. Try it you'll like it! I went back for the Pride Parade and went in for a water. Huge line moved fast and again when she put my name on my order, 5 items, she remembered my name. Now that's pretty damn good. If you need more of a recommendation than this then . . . ?

Just a quick revision - this place is definitely 5 stars in my book…read more Freki's on the job now, Tucker's retired, and the place is just as fantastic as ever - maybe more so, although we do miss Gerilyn. :) Folks behind the bar are super - helpful, friendly, full of great information about beer (and bourbon!), there's water for the pups, and a gorgeous view of Lake Pontchartrain. I recently spent a Friday afternoon out here with some friend, talking soccer, beer, dogs and Christ - not necessarily in that order. If you see us out, say hi to Freki and let us know how you enjoyed the Barley Oak!

My wife and I tried out the Barley Oak in Mandeville this evening and are glad we did. The Barley…read moreOak features good food , excellent happy hour drinks, and a laid back comfortable, yet still somewhat sophisticated, old world persona. Service at the bar was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. We enjoyed a tasty hot pretzel appetizer, a special Barley Oak cheeseburger, and a Reuben sandwich, which may have been the star of the show. Old Fashioneds were the drinks of the evening. The Barly Oak is a great place to meet friends for drinks and eats, or just to watch the sun go down over the lake. Highly recommended!

When we arrived for our Wednesday 7pm reservations, the hostess was on the phone. She never looked…read moreover at us to even motion that she saw us. Then at least three servers walked by us and didn't make any eye contact nor did the bartenders who also saw us waiting. For a restaurant that says on their website, "we may be casual, but our service is upscale," we didn't get that feeling. The manager came by and then checked is in for our reservations and took us to a table. The hostess then wished us a nice meal. Luckily, our server Regan saved the day with exceptional service. She was friendly, attentive, and personable. Regan would accompany the guy dropping off the food to let us know the rest of the food was coming or just to check that we received what we ordered. Our appetizers came and we were given enough time to enjoy then before our entrees arrived, our plates were cleared, and our drinks were full. To begin the meal we drinks. Then we shared the BBQ Shrimp (GF minus the Cornbread and French Bread), Gumbo, Shrimp & Corn Bisque (GF), and Wedge Salad (GF). The BBQ Shrimp were cooked just right and had a great sauce. The salad was a good size loaded with tomatoes, cheese, and bacon. Then I had a 14 oz Ribeye medium rare to accompany my Dirty Martini. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. My son enjoyed the BBQ Shrimp Pasta while my husband really liked his Etouffee Empanadas. The Blackened Scallops with Lobster Risotto looked delicious and my brother in law enjoyed it. My mother in law shared a few of the dozen Charbroiled Oysters she had for her entree. They were plump and juicy with great flavor. We ended the evening with Dragonfruit Sorbet, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Creme Brulee, and of course an Espresso Martini. We enjoyed the Creme Brulee that was crunchy with big pieces of sugar that were browned with a torch. Both the sorbet and ice cream were also really good. Regan and the food made up for the disappointing start to the meal.

There were 2 other people when we got there, who I assumed were the owners. 2 people can not handle a Friday night crowd on their own. Service was sloooooow. Atmosphere and food were very good.

There was a big crowd on this Friday lunch hour and the surroundings were noisy and bustling, but all proceeded without a hitch. I'm watching my calories at present, so I had the Chicken Paillard served with greens in vinaigrette and braised vegetables. It was excellent; succulent, tasty, and generously portioned. Our party of five had a variety of entrees, including fish tacos, southwestern salad, and chicken Caesar sandwich. All were enjoyed.
