    Restaurant bill
    Donna G.

    All feelings about this restaurant are overshadowed by what you see in the photo I shared. We got the bill and I noticed it said 3% Market Sustainability Fee is added. Then below the total, I see 3% surcharge if you pay with credit card. So we asked our server "Are these two separate charges?" And she immediately said, "Yes, but we can take off the sustainability fee if you request it. The reason is on the bottom. It helps us not raise prices because of inflation " So, we paid cash, cutting off one of the fees. We're disgusted with ourselves that we didn't have the other removed! This is a cheap, sneaky move and I'll never be back and I'm spreading the word.

    Although a mere local bar in the neighborhood, this place has particularly delicious food, great appetizers and delicious seasonal cocktails to choose from. The service is attentive and extremely friendly and I like that their checkout process is automated and can be done quickly with a hand-held at the table - more efficient. The bathrooms are clean and in the summer they have a cute outdoor patio to soak in the sun.

    Blackberry Stylus And Hand-Cut Fries

    Good hangout in downtown LaGrange for beer and pub food. It has better drinks than food to be honest. Barrel House has a casual yet touch of class in the atmosphere. Kind of expensive is the only big problem about it. The food also isn't anything real special. Came at lunch the last time and it wasn't as busy. It's an okay place for watching games, but it's kind of too nice to have a sports bar atmosphere to it. They show the fancier sports like golf and that kind of stuff. It's about $14 for a cocktail. Pretty expensive for the small glasses. Anyway, good flavors. Best of these was the Blackberry Stylus. A little fruity but not crazy. This is made with blackberry purée, Citron, ginger, ginger beer, and lemon. It's about $7 for appetizers. The Hand-Cut Fries aren't complicated and are good. Fun place to hang and get some drinks and food. It has unfortunately gotten rid of a few items. There's not a whole lot for vegetarians.

    Burger and fries. Gluten free bun. Definitely well seasoned and cook as asked

    Our food was wonderful. Our server was great as well. We ate out in the back patio and it was amazing. I enjoyed the jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious and it was seasoned just perfectly! My sister had the salmon bowl and she said everything was so fresh and tasty too. Took a few pics too. We'll definitely be back!

    Clean! Service was great! Great cocktail menu. Good food. They have Malört for those of us who like that sort of thing. Right off the train tracks and LaGrange Road.

    Not too busy for a Tuesday waited over 15 minutes for our waitress to come take our order then upon ordering the first round of drinks, I was told there's no coffee for an espresso martini when the menu clearly states coffee Our appetizer meat was extremely salty & just gross so that I decided to try Southwest chicken bowl. The rice came steaming hot. The chicken was warm. Every other side was ice cold as it just came out of the fridge. I asked the server if it's supposed to be that way she was unsure and then told me she could put it under the heat lamp if I would like! It is not worth downtown prices whatsoever definitely needs improvement

    Grilled artichoke dip
    Vita P.

    Honestly a little confused on the low ratings for Barrel House. I've stopped through here after the train only one other time, however today was my first time eating here. Standard sports bar - lots of TVs and seating available. They have a nice drink menu with a cocktail list. Non-alcoholic cocktails are available too. They sound like they change their seasonal cocktails. We ordered two appetizers - both were excellent. We ordered the grilled artichoke dip and the crispy pork belly which is a little Korean BBQ inspired. We loved both! Wish the artichoke dip came with a few more slices of bread. Both appetizers are great for 2-4 ppl. Service was great - Edgar was prompt, kind, and kept our drinks flowing. My only complaint and guess for low reviews is maybe the prices; they might run a little higher than you'd expect for a suburb but it's conveniently next to the train station so it's easy to stumble in and enjoy your time. I'd make a trip back!

    Cocktail flight - I recommend
    Susan M.

    My husband and I were walking through La Grange, looking for a place to eat on a whim. The ambience of this restaurant is evident even from the sidewalk and we were intrigued. This is the perfect date night vibe or getting drinks with friends - it's dark and moody and intimate with TVs and a ridiculous selection of bourbon and whiskey bottles. I ended up ordering the cocktail flight which was really delicious and the presentation was super impressive. My husband got something that was smoked and that drink was equally as impressive. I will say that the drinks and the vibe here outshine the food. It's not that the food was bad, it just wasn't super memorable and I'm not sure that we would order anything that we had ordered that night again. We'll see if we find something we like on the next visit. Our waitress was awesome. She is a blonde and very, very friendly and chipper. You will know who she is if you happen to hear her or if you are lucky enough and she is your waitress.

    This is an awesome place to come on the weekend for a bar and to watch the game but don't come here thinking it's a family restaurant. I know they want to be a restaurant but it's simply not. The food isn't good enough and the service is beyond slow. The salmon is amazing and the burgers looked amazing but the meatloaf looks like it's a frozen dinner and the rigatoni was definitely something out of an overcooked pot made at noon. I hear the brunch is good but I've only been here for dinner and it's a no. For everything we ordered even the drinks it took 30mins to get. The table next to us was being upset cuz the appetizers cost the same as the dinner entrees. I'm definitely not down on this place but it's just not a restaurant it's a bar. It's an awesome bar with an amazing mixologist, that also serves food, own it. If they're looking for some business and marketing advice dm me!

    Good, but with issues. For example, the salmon bowl flavor was very good, but the amount of salt was so extreme that it ruined the dish.

Revisiting tonight left me feeling disappointed to have to leave a 2 star review. A local high school playoff game left Kenny's staff organization and service subpar. Their team was hustling to keep up but simply couldn't with demand of an unexpected full house. Upon arrival, we quickly saw it was packed and loud. We sat ourselves at a table and after 15 minutes of no one coming to us, I went to find our own menus. We flagged down a server who unkindly told us we weren't her table. When our server did come, we decided to order everything at once to not delay. Our appetizer came out with our entrees which was disappointing and then had to ask for silverware. Our server never checked in on us once we got our food but only when we needed the bill and a box. Thankfully we didn't need refills on our drinks but waiting another 10 minutes just to pay our check. The only saving grace was the food. Their menu offerings are simple but tasty. I've never seen them this crowded when I've visited in the past but sadly I wish I had dined somewhere else tonight. I hope my next trip back when in the area can prove to be an improvement from tonight!

My husband got the Adventure Land and Pete made me an "off menu" Last Word cocktail with mezcal he had been loving to make. This drink was amazing to say the least! It was frothy yet fruity and very balanced. The Adventure Land was also great and exactly what one wants in a summertime gin drink. I later also tried the One Upon a Time in Mexico which gave more of a mezcal spritz vibe. It was lighter and refreshing. For food, we shared the Scallops as well as the Gnocchi. All Starters are 25% off during Happy Hour. Items can still come at a premium but they had so many options to choose from, portions were standard sizes, and quality was great. Pete offered a free birthday dessert but we were too full to accept the generous offer. I highly recommend stopping into Fourteensixteen to explore their menu and drinks!
