I've been going to Barnaby's - this location and others - and it's usually a good experience. Unfortunately I cannot recommend after this latest dinner experience. I'm vegetarian and this usually isn't a problem. I ordered their lasagna and as soon as it hits the table there's meat in it. The server then mentions Barnaby's no longer serves the veggie version. I request an Impossible patty burger. The rest of my dining party finishes eating by the time I get my burger. And it's a regular burger, not alternative meat patty. I wasn't told this until I had taken a bite. By this time I'm deeply upset, and honestly I don't trust any staff to respect my health concerns or dietary restrictions. They did offer to bring me another meal, which I didn't finish (veggie pizza) and tossed later. Overall, I would have liked to send a note to management to ask that better procedures be put in place for serving clients with dietary restrictions, but there isn't a place for that on their website. It was an upsetting experience and will not return for future visits. read more

I love this place. My favorite salad ever and so many good choices!! I love the Chinese chicken salad! They're sweet potato fries are amazing. read more

Great spot for casual dining! We went to grab lunch with family during our trip to Houston. Parking is easy as they're located in a plaza. We had no wait time and staff was very attentive. I ordered the bacon and blue burger and the falafel burger. Both incredible choices although if you had to choose between one or the other I would choose the falafel. They offer regular Fries, waffle fries, and sweet potato fries. Tried the regular which were good but not great, and the sweet potato fries which were amazing For dessert I recommend the brownie with vanilla ice cream, amazing choice. Burger cooked to perfection and very big plates. Go when you're very hungry! They have games outside for kids and a relaxed ambience. We went during lunch time. read more

Their salads are so good!! Also, I'm not usually a sweet potato fan but theirs are actually really yummy and worth the try :D

I just love this place! The team is always so friendly and food is consistently delicious! Very neighborhood and relaxing atmosphere!

Have you ever found a place that makes you feel so calm and happy when you are there? Barnaby's is definitely that for me - from the colorful and playful pooch inspired decor to the amazingly attentive and friendly staff, this place can do no wrong. And I haven't even commented on the food yet! The portions here are HUGE. We came for breakfast and I tried the breakfast plate - can't go wrong with a medley of breakfast favorites! There was so much food it was silly. The plate came with eggs, biscuits, potatoes, and sausage - yum! My friend got the bacon waffle and she loved it as well. On top of all this, the prices are very reasonable and you will almost certainly leave with leftovers. read more

What Barnaby's is now even closer to my job!!!! I can't even handle it. Please take all my lunch money. This new location is really cute and super fancy inside. I like to come on my lunch break for the Cobb Salad. It's amazing and so big I always get to have some left over for lunch tomorrow. Lol it's like a buy one get one free almost every time. The portions are really big so they're great to share. Chips and queso is always amazing. And the pesto chicken sandwich is really good. Service is always great and friendly. read more

Barnaby's is always a 5/5. The food, atmosphere, and service are great. This was my first time at this location.

I ordered the chicken fattoush salad for delivery and the chicken was burnt and bitter. It was so bad! I was extremely disappointed. read more

Maybe I didn't eat what they're known for. Maybe I had what they're really bad at making. I don't know. I had the barbecue chicken with fries and a Mediterranean rice. It was bland and apparently their version of Mediterranean rice is dry. Now to be fair that was a substitution for something else-but on its own it should have been better than that. The barbecue chicken was in quality-wonderful. But the "barbecue" on it was just cheap bbq sauce smeared thickly on. The fries it came with were definitely frozen from a bag, though plentiful. My child's meal was not much better. I paid $38 for this and for strawberry lemonade (which was awesome). I think for this price I could literally have gone anywhere else, and had better food. When they excelled was in service and ambiance. Above and beyond fabulous service. read more

This location is amazing! Pet friendly and staff is wonderful. The food menu has something for everyone, and they have a little menu for dogs. My husband and I went on Saturday and shared the Chicken Burrito. I'm glad we shared, because it was a TON of food. There's two stuffed burritos with chicken, black beans and rice. Served with salsa and guacamole. Very filling! Reasonably priced and tastes amazing. There are several locations and we will definitely be going back to try other menu items. read more

Barnaby’s Cafe - Chicken burrito - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is not a real location of Barnaby's. There is an abridged menu of what you may accustomed to for this place. The service is fine and the ambiance gets most of the way there but the food... I git the green eggs with asparagus and they were pretty bland and unseasoned. My wife the chicken breast decent but not a whole lot of flavor. The fries were not up to Barnaby's standard. This must be said: This location is exactly how a great restaurant ruins its reputation. Too many locations and losing site of the quality. Either get this place back up to Barnaby's proper level or CLOSE IT. People that are old enough.... Remember Ninfas? read more

Absolutely love this spot! I decided to stop in for a salad cause I was hungry. I called in my order and it was ready in ten minutes. The restaurant suggested the House Vinegarette dressing. All dressings are homemade and it was so good. My only suggestion would be to place the croutons on the side because they are hidden in the salad. The next day they are soft and not tasty. This salad was definite enough for two full servings so it is worth the $14. Overall I would come try the salad and modify. I either had a Cobb salad or a House Salad. I removed the egg and ham and substituted for Turkey. That Turkey and chicken was awesome. I will definitely be back. You would be disappointed. read more

I like all of the Barnaby's Cafes I've tried. My favorite is the one on West Gray near the intersection with Taft. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. The service is excellent. The food is delicious. Their burgers and lasagna are my favorite entrees accompanied by their fresh strawberry lemonade followed by the carrot cake or the chocolate cake. Everything I've eaten at all of my regular Barnaby's has been at least good. I highly recommend Barnaby's! read more

Do not dine in at this location. Order to go if you must. They prioritize Togo orders over people dining in and are stupid enough to tell you this. We waited a ridiculous amount of time for our food to come out and they completely forgot my husband's burger, despite my husband ordering a specific burger and the waiter asking questions about it. We didn't want to wait another 30 min to make a burger so my husband said "she will just have hers and forget the other burger." But they didn't give me any condiments and I was so disgusted at this point we just left. The lemonades are good, and maybe it's just this location that needs to get its act together. I always had a good experience at the location on shepherd, but it's been years since I've been there. read more

Great social distancing with some tables blocked by stuffed animals. I ordered an egg salad sandwich. It's not egg salad. Unfortunately, it's just crumbled eggs. The sandwich has too much egg. Since it's not salad, it's flavorless. You get a choice of different sides which is good. I received a generous amount of broccoli. The place is beautiful inside. I ordered a mini brownie with ice cream which is on special for $1. See my photos for the egg sandwich. While it's decorated cutely, it's not salad. read more

So as much as I love and I do mean love Barnabys and their food, I can't give a 5 star and here is why. I have been going to all of the locations for over 12 years and I could eat here daily. However, the prices and service have really gone down. So I have always ordered a half salad, because their salads are huge! Huge! And they are so tasty. So my husband and I both got half salads. When I got my bill, they literally took 2$ off the full price! Seriously? That's not how it was or should be. If I want a half of a salad, I should be charged half or even 8$, like I used to pay. Now I understand prices change and times have changed but taking 2$ off the price for a half, isn't right. I am a huge fan of this place and I'm sad that this change isn't right because I won't be going back any time soon, because that's a little pricey for a half of a salad, when the full salad is 15$. I sure hope someone reads this and fixes it. As far as the service goes, it was horrible. I've never seen more servers standing around, talking and no service to the customers. I had to flag down someone to take our order and then half of our order never came. Please guys, get it together. read more

When to Barnaby's because they have a nice outdoor area, and want to social distance from others. Also, went to Barnaby's because they have vegan options. The Impossible burger was great and the server John was very nice! My friend had the salmon and he loved it! I would have taken a picture of the food, but the heat champagne distracted me . I would highly recommend, I f you want to feel normal during these crazy times. read more

It's a nice place and everyone brings their furry friend to eat with them on the patio. Food is only alright, it looks good but it's not the most flavorful. The waiters are nice and helpful. Though I wouldn't come back for the food I would come just to enjoy some outside time with my dog. read more

On Saturday shopping for my wedding dress, my mom and I decided to grab a bite at this Barnaby's location. I typically frequent the location in Montrose and I'm never disappointed. This experience however was full of disappointments. We sat at a outside table for about 10mins which noone addressed us. I went to the hostess stand to get assistance. Finally he came and took our order, water and turkey burgers. We then waited almost 25 mins for our order which I had to continually inquire about with our waiter. We waited an additional 10 mins to finally get dry and burnt turkey burgers. Our waiter apologized and claimed the manager was aware however the manager never approached us to apologize for the delay. I could understand if it was a busy Saturday but it wasn't. Customer Service and communication was piss poor as well as the food. Definitely will not be returning. read more

We have been going here forever and continue to drop in when we are in town. I LOVE the Bryan's club sandwich and the burgers, I haven't had anything I didn't like. I do wish they would bring back the Italian cream cake . I'm a huge fan! read more

I'll give this Barnaby's five stars: the place is clean and everyone jumps in to take care of their guests. I hate going to a place where your glass is empty and servers walk by. These people jumped in to help each other with everything. One server dropped a glass and everyone grabbed brooms and moved chairs and cleaned it up immediately. We finished eating and our server came to pick up our plates and some one kept and helped him by grabbing the plates so that he could continue taking with us. Food was delicious!! Hubby got the chili cheeseburger and he's only thing was to have to chili on some of the fries would be delicious. Come for the food but the cleanliness and service will bring us back!!! read more

I love Barnaby's & was very happy to see this location was open. Slowly getting back into the office, not sure how long this place has been here. I met up with a friend for lunch & we agreed on this place as I love their salads. For this visit I opted for the Chinese Chicken Salad which did not dissapoint with lettus greens topped with shredded chicken breast, carrots, red cabbage tossed in a honey/lime vin & spicy peanit dressing. I opted to have the tortilla strips taken off because, ew. The half portion was extremely huge & I could not finish this belly satifying salad. My friend opted for the Lebanese Chicken Fattoush Salad which looked insanely good (note to self, order that the next time). The restaurant had plenty of seating with some brave souls eating outside. The staff were very friendly & service was prompt. read more

Barnaby's fans. Rejoice. This location is great. It's new, clean, modern, and super friendly staff. Same menu as the others but the large portions, low prices, and fresh food make it an enjoyable experience as always. So glad this opened near my office - just may be my new lunch go to spot! read more

----Dearest Reader I write with joyous news. House Barnaby has extended their rule over the central Houston dining scene. Ravens sent word that on the 28th of May, they successfully raised banners at Fountainview. This house, unlike those before, is here to stay. The generals were magical, personable and charismatic. The wait staff attentive, never once did I feel forgotten. Will 100% be back again tomorrow, my quest to try every menu item has officially begun. Spicy Sticky Chicken Wontons: 4/5 (would be 5 if slightly more meat). Good crunch, nice reduction on spicy stick sauce, shaved red cabbage added a nice fresh touch. Meatloaf Bruschetta: 5/5 this was no joke. The meatloaf itself was delicious. The sourdough hoagie added a masterful touch. Will def order again. Waffle Fries: 5/5 so this was the side to my entree, I was able to add on a side of bacon blue cheese fondue and ohhhh man was this tasty. ***PLEASE NOTE: They are still obtaining liquor license as just recently opening. It is BYOB and WILL remain BYOB once license acquired. Fountainview Liquor is conveniently located right next door. read more

The initial ticket was for $xx.xx. The amount charged to my credit card before tip was $xx.xx + $10. All I can say is always be careful, especially here at Barnaby's on Fountain View. Note: it could have been a simple mistake as they said it was, but the last time this happened to me was 1975, and I caught the "error" then too. read more

Love Barnabys!! The wait staff are so polite and helpful about explaining the menu and suggestions. We love being able to walk there for an evening meal or a brunch on the patio with our pooch. read more

Ordering is easy on line. Good is always great. Friendly staff. Looks nice inside. Good outside area.

We were so happy to have a Nice new Barnaby's nearby. We don't go to the one on Bering cuz it kinda has a smell. We drive all the way to the one on Binz so needless to say happy we have one close. We were very disappointed in the outdoor seating. We go here to bring our dog and the seating is uncomfortable and tiny tables so uncomfortable to eat. Food was good and hoping they get the wine-Rita's here. We may not come often cuz we don't want to sit on that outdoor patio again and this is our doggy spot. read more

Stopped in for a light lunch yesterday afternoon. Really enjoyed Barnaby's! Staff was quick and friendly. Seating was a little odd & messy but I'll chalk that up to COVID. I had the Pesto Chicken Salad with Artichoke Hearts Sandwich with a side house salad instead of chips. The salad was kind of a high up charge for the substitution but honestly worth it for the size & taste, the honey mustard was awesome. And I had never had a chicken salad recipe that included pesto but I really liked it too! Cool little diner/cafe that is dog friendly! read more

I get to-go here a few times a month. The menu is pretty common normal American food. Everything is pretty good. The French fries are pretty amazing, especially if you order them extra crispy because they are nice and thin. I've had their French dip, which is usually very good. Their chicken tenders are great, Mac and cheese is good. This place is also good for kids meals - not much more than fast food kids meals but WAY higher quality food you get. Lots of kids choices. The patio is dog friendly which is nice. Usually see some other dogs. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Never had a wrong order out of probably a dozen orders. read more

Not only were my chips not in my to go order from last week. (which i understood, people forget sometimes) But to open my to go order TODAY to see a whole different sandwich just ultimately confirmed that i won't be coming to this location anymore read more

$30 for a mimosa and scramble eggs with bacon and spinach? No thank you. Service was alright.

Came for a cappuccino, didn't have that. The coffee that they DID have was as bad as the coffee that comes out of my keurig machine on my countertop. It was luke warm, I had it microwaved. They were pleasant people, but the food is obviously frozen and thawed the moment after you order it. Just sub par. Very bland. Nothing special. read more

This was my first time at this Barnaby's location and the customer service was mediocre and the server was not enthusiastic and he seemed to be in a rush.. me and my wife ordered a medium rare classic burger and received a well done and partly burnt patty. The service overall was disappointing. Would not recommend this location. I would recommend the woodway location. read more

I love the way the new restaurant looks... BUT I was a frequent customer at the old location on woodway. The service here does not compare, the servers do no know the menu well enough to even be serving it and answering questions on it. I ordered the Coronado beef and asked them to remove the tomatoes and chives, the waiter brought out my order with those toppings on it... when asked to remove them he seemed to no understand and came back with only the tomatoes picked off and chives still on there, there were still tomatoes pushed under the fries. They also did not even care to melt the cheese on top of the meat... no body wants cold cheese. I might just be hormonal and dramatic but it's no nearly as well tended as the old restaurant! My boyfriend also ordered the mac n cheese, he saw me writing this upset review and laughed saying his Mac taste weird. I taste it and it literally taste like cream paste and not in a good way (if there even is a good way) it made him sick to his stomach and is convinced it's just sour cream and noodles... I'm repulsed by the quality of service and food. The workers are just sitting around a table folding napkins and starring at us... very awkward situation and super disappointed in the establishment. read more

My girlfriend and I came to this establishment for lunch and we were greeted with a smile, which was amazing. We sat down, ordered drinks, and ordered our food. While ordering our food the waitress, Ann, made faces as if taking our order disgusted her. She repeated my order, I repeated it back, and she repeated it again. Of course the order came out with everything I didn't ask for, in particular the bacon. I asked for no bacon they piled it on which is fine everyone makes mistake but for the kitchen to remove the bacon from the bowl along with over 1/4 of my salad and not make me a new bowl or even replace the salad they removed is lazy and ridiculous. finally salad is fixed. We stated to eat with empty water cups no extra napkins, not once we're we asked if everything was fine , did we need anything. I literally watched ANN help and greet other customers but not once did she stop at our table for over 20 minutes. Finally I just stopped eating and asked for the check. Even with the bad service I still made sure that I paid my 18% too because I understand that people need to live, but this type of service was insane. I love Barnabys, and this was my first time taking my girlfriend, and she never wants to come back because oh we were ignored the entire time. read more

I came to this restaurant because I noticed they served plant based burgers, I ordered the impossible burger with French fries and a lemonade the total came to 20.57 after tax , I don't tip when I'm going to a place to order a simple burger waste of money in. My opinion, two days later my debit card is negative because someone at the restaurant forged a tip to my bill after I done signed it , so now I'm negative in my account and that restaurant committed a crime which is fruad. read more
