Some really great beers here - love the Pickle Tickle, Cotton Candy and Strawberry Leomande! Service was great too - attentive! My only thing was the food was just eh... I got the tendies... it was a Wednesday but I wasn't offered the special that was listed in their website. We weren't even told about it. Then let's talk about the sauce... if you like it spicy that's not going to happen - maybe it's Iowa hot... but the super spicy sauce that I was asked if I wanted gloves for...tasted like ketchup. So if you go here maybe just drink! read more

AMAZING! I love all of the different variety food that you can get. The flavor is spot on with all of it. The service was nice and the inside had a nice modern barn and rustic feel. I love that they have their own merch you can buy. A lot of their beers were really good and nice to have such a variety to taste and choose from. THE FRIES ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!! Homemade fries! If every restaurant and fast food chain could come even a little close the world would be a better place. The fries stole the show. read more

Great place for some happy hour appetizers and drinks! Very spacious restaurant with patio seating. We were seated quickly on the patio and given a basket of complimentary popcorn. The popcorn was addicting! All appetizers except for wings were only $6 during happy hour. Some of the drinks were only $4 during happy hour. The lemon shandy was delicious! We ordered fried pickles, fried cheese curds, Brussels Sprouts, nachos, and crab rangoon grilled chicken with a side salad. The chicken was good but the bun was a little soggy. A few appetizers was more than enough food for 3 people. The fried pickles were my favorite! The best part was the turtle skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream. Delicious! We will definitely be back to try more dishes, drinks, and desserts! read more

I ordered the birria tacos and s'mores cookie skillet last night. Let me just say, I will not be back. The tacos were extremely small and were $15. I'm talking maybe a 2-3 inch taco in length. I could easily go get a decent burger and fries for that elsewhere, or correct portion-sized tacos for that matter. The s'mores cookie skillet didn't even taste like smores, it tasted like something doused in oil. So gross. For the price gouging that goes on here, I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

Food is inconsistent. Chicken sandwiches are like biting into a piece of hormone infused flesh. Course Gristle need I say more. Service, hit and miss. Ambiance LOUD!! The beer is good. read more

Pete and the team at Barn Town Brewing are fantastic. Obviously, the first metric for a brewery should be the beer, and Barn Town doesn't miss a beat in this category. Creative, unique, and delicious beers. Currently drinking a flight of 4 gin barrel aged beers made to mirror popular gin cocktails. Artfully done, and the rest of the lineup is always stellar. Food wise, just as solid! Creative monthly specials, a solid regular menu, and always good food! I've been here 10+ times, and I cannot recall a time where I wasn't happy with the customer service we received. Wether you're a local or just in town for a visit, don't skip Barn Town Brewing. Covid-19 Specific: They've also done a great job of keeping their customers safe while providing creative take-out options for their customers that feel better dining at home! read more

Barn Town Brewing - What's left of my Gin Beer flight and a Big Frooty. - Breweries Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Bar town is a gem in the West Des Moines area! We have been here 6 times in our two weekend visits, and nothing in the area can compete with beer & food as solid. The staff is super helpful and friendly! Shout out to Chance for being such a rockstar behind the bar! He was great at explaining the beers, recommending food, and even a little bit of a tour guide of where we should visit in Iowa on our way back to MN. I think the IPAs are really solid here! I also don't mind the kettle sour! They do various collaborations with other breweries and those beers tend to be fantastic! I can't say that I disliked any of the food I had here! My favorites are the Deviled Eggs, trendy toast, and Nashville hot anything from brunch or dinner menu! This is a must visit in Iowa! Everyone is so friendly and great! They are currently doing great with social distancing as well! read more

You can definitely tell this is a popular spot - we went at 2pm on a Saturday thinking the lunch rush would be gone but it was packed! We had to wait 25 minutes for a table (and had to wait in our car). Once we finally got a table, it took about 10 minutes for the server to take our drink order - way too long in my book - but her service improved after that. The food was really good - we just got a bunch of appetizers to share. The cheese curds are definitely amazing. The beer was okay. None of the beers I tried blew me away (I like hazy IPAs), but the Neon was good enough to order and enjoy one. Overall a good spot for some apps/food and a drink! read more

Barntown is an excellent brewery that offers some good food. I've gotten their brunch & dinner and couldn't have been happier with them. They also have daily specials Their seating setup is pretty nice but it can get busy on the weekends. The interior was designed nicely and the outdoor seating has a lot of tables perfectly spaced out for social distancing. I've been here a handful of times - busy and empty - and every time the service was great. The crew does a good job of welcoming the public read more

If I could go back to one brewery in Des Moines I think I'd pick Barn Town. I enjoyed their golden ale. And if they can make that well I'm sure they can master anything. Love the vibe. And the Ford F100 was a hit with my son the Ford mechanic. read more

Great variety of sours and the burger and fries is top notch. It's a fun atmosphere and enjoyable crowds.

Went today for Ramen Thursday and had the tonkotsu ramen, slightly too salty and the ginger needs to be thinner- eggs were done correctly and the belly pork was above average- if the stock was less salty it would have been ok- server was very nice read more

I have loved everything I've had here. The crab Rangoon Sammy has been my fav--could use more sauce (but I like my items saucy). Their root beer and frozen wine is also great. Can't go wrong here with whatever you get! read more

I went here a few years ago but never made a review. I recently moved back to Waukee and decided to try it out again. I ended up going back a few days later because it was really good! I heard about their beer slushies from an ad so I got the piña colada one and it was so good! You can hardly taste any alcohol. For my meal I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich but took off the blue cheese crumbles because I'm not a fan. I really liked it! It's almost like it's a chicken tender sandwich as it's not just a chicken breast but I kinda like that. It brings in more breading which some may not like but I did. I know a few years back when we visited we got the onion rings as an appetizer and they were so good! Nice and stringy so had to eat them with a fork. Service is decent. Don't have any issues. It does get busy though so there may be some wait times but it goes pretty fast. Overall a very nice restaurant if you're craving bar food! read more

Great food and nice beer/alcohol selection. The restaurant is always loud, so keep that in mind before choosing here on a Friday for family dinner. That being said, it's one of our Waukee favorites. The root beer is a must get! read more

I came here on a Wednesday around noon noon the place is starting to fill up. I was torn between the crab rangoon chicken sandwich or the jalapeno popper grilled cheese.I knew I liked the crab Rangoon chicken. so went with that. soup as a side, beer cheese soup. I got the soup 1st and oh my gosh it was so delicious I couldn't just ate another couple of bowls of that for my lunch. Then the sandwich came I ordered it fried. It was a little overdone in my opinion it was Brown and almost had a burnt taste . It wasn't bad enough to send it back but it definitely discovered. Next time I'll probably try the popper the popper grilled cheese. My server Katie did an excellent job very kind very courteous.. Restrooms were clean well taken care of. And believe it or not there's no gap between the door and the door frame I like that. They have paper towels not blowdryers love that and they have the kick plates you can open the door without touching it. If I wasn't going to be driving I probably would've tried out some of their beverages. This was done talk to text and no time to check it for errors. read more

Barn Town Brewing - crab rangoon fried chicken sandwich. - Breweries Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

This is a fun place to dine! We happened to try it for the first time on Sunday which happens to have live music. Our server was prompt and then kind of fizzled, always friendly. As previously told by several people, the food was fabulous, we were not disappointed. The burger I ordered was flavorful and juicy (make sure to ask for extra napkins). Neither of us could finish our meals, which was sad as I had my eye on trying one of the desserts. They brew their own beers, but carry others as well. Unfortunately, our server was not familiar with the beverage menu. They have a great brunch menu as well. I definitely want to come back and try other items. read more

Fantastic brunch. Yummy, unique and intriguing beer and cider choices. We have a variety of brunch items, ranging from chicken and waffles, breakfast burrito, s'mores pancakes. All had great flavor. Unfortunately the s'mores pancakes were a limited time option. Another time we've gone for happy hour, and another for dinner. The sandwich sizes are huge! Fried pickles and cheese curds were great apps. Very busy no matter what time I've ever gone, which must be a good thing, right? read more

Our server greeted us with, "Hi, cowboys!"...it went downhill from there. The wrap I ordered was too spicy to swallow, pollo diablo...filled with chopped up jalapeños, and seeds. The service was not good! read more

I worked in Waukee a few years ago and I used to love the occasional lunch trip to Barn Town for their amazing cast-iron Mac and cheese. I was in the area with my kids and decided to swing by and relive the bliss. Sadly, the mac and cheese was not as good as it used to be. First, it used to be baked (or at least broiled) in the cast iron so you get that cheesy creamy crusty goodness that only cast iron can give you. It's not that way anymore - it appeared to have been cooked elsewhere and served in a cast iron pan with breadcrumbs thrown on top. My kids were not impressed either - my 4 year old who finds Kraft to be fine dining, took a bite and was done. Fries with his meal were greasy and limp as well. The service was fantastic-fast, friendly and attentive - zero complaints there. Our drinks came fast (thankfully as we had just left Triumph Park and were really thirsty!) The wait for the food was reasonable given the time of day (Sunday lunch.) I wish there was some other redeeming options - I'm not much of a craft beer person but my husband is, and a return trip for us would require good food and drinks. read more

Been here about a dozen times at this point, never been disappointed, some foods are better than others but it's always good (Barn Fire or the Melt are a must try). Drinks are also awesome and their sours are very unique (like a brewed cocktail) making the experience hard to replicate elsewhere. Only downside is their to go drinks have a hefty price, but it's worth it for some of them. Would and will come again! read more

super good!!! Great service, just out of my price range. Love the environment! Food was delish!!

They have specials most days, Monday was a free beer with their burger. I wasn't very hungry but when i saw the burger the table next to me got, i decided to try it. It was very good, and the sweet potato fries were good too. I tried a flight of beer and enjoyed them all. read more

This is a great place to come if you want to catch a game, drinks and a meal. My boyfriend wanted to try this place out. He ordered a flight to try a few beers and loved all of them. We ordered the roasted brussel sprouts, italian sausage burger (which came with two patties), and the brewers burger (which also came with two patties and a large slice of bacon (which is actually a pork belly and not regular sliced breakfast bacon). All of the food was delicious despite the pork belly being a little overcooked. On a separate night, after already having dinner elsewhere, we came here just for drinks and shared the poutine. The fries, gravy and cheese curds were delicious! We would definitely come back here again. The dining atmoshere was comfy (we like sitting in the booths) and service was great. read more

Great beer and friendly servers. Food is also very good for a taproom. Definitely enjoy the many time I visit.

AMAZING period. I absolutely love this place. I've gone a few times with friends and I swore I gave them a review already, but I was probably having too much fun because the Barn Town IPAs are out of this world!
