I'd suggest it's rare when traveling to find the unique combo of a local place that is really good on many levels. I walked into a packed house and it was organized, and lucky to get a quick table for two. Good bar menu, and a good sampling, printed and clear, of NA cocktails and beer, front edge stuff these days. They are quick, paced, not rushed. Kitchen is efficient. Order in, order out. Great selection focus on bacon and beef with seafood alternatives. This is family oriented, for sure at 6pm, can't say later. Servers fill drinks and water, quickly but not rushed, tables do turn here.
Love that this place is right off the highway. Plenty of parking. I always sit at the bar but there are lots of tables in two big separate rooms. Bartenders are super nice and never ignore you. Food is excellent! I've had the Cobb salad which is phenomenal! Burgers are insanely huge and juicy and delicious. They cook them how you want too. Comes with delicious fries. The whiskey bacon cheddar burger is amazing with crispy onion strings, lettuce, cheddar cheese and this delicious whiskey bacon jam. Mmmm! Clam chowder is delicious. Pizza is pretty good too. My friend had the fish and chips and said he loved it. Tons of specialty drinks. Hook under the bar to hang your purse. Place is so clean including the bathroom. No keno but tons of tvs. Some outdoor seating. Reservation accepted. Love this place!
Love the atmosphere in here . It was extremely busy for a Sunday evening. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar. My fiancé had the ribs gluten free with fries and coleslaw. He said they were good. I had the scallops with polenta and asparagus. They were delicious but they weren't hot . My dish was served like warm. Thankfully they were so good that I didn't mind that they weren't piping hot .
I don't think I have ever had such a perfectly cooked and seasoned filet mignon in my entire life. The whiskey bacon jam took it to a completely different level! I could seriously spread that on everything. It's magical explosion of flavor!!! My husband was excited to see that there were Gluten Free Fish and Chips on the menu. He raved about them. His grandmother whom we were celebrating said she had never seen a NY Strip steak so big in all of her 94 years. Our server Jenna exceptionally handled our dietary restrictions and allergies. She personally saw to it that the kitchen staff understood the severity and took necessary precautions. She made sure our needs were met while maintaining a personable nature. The restaurant facilities are absolutely well laid out and tastefully decorated. The only recommendation that I would make is to put handicapped parking near the end of the ramp. We parked in the handicapped parking at the front of the restaurant. While it was near the doors, it required our 94 year young grandmother to climb a few steps. Barrels and Boards is a must-eat-at restaurant. We will be back!
This place was hoppin'! It's strongly suggested to make reservations, which we did, but we also were extremely early, and they were able to accommodate us just fine. So, reservations are encouraged, but likely not a necessity. We chose to sit outside, and we're surprised that more people weren't. Although, this is New Englan, so, this shouldn't come as a surprise. There was no shade from the sun, so that might be part of the issue. Suggest some ivy latice wall and canvas roofing, or, at the very least, some adjustable umbrellas. 4 Stars Aside from the ambiance, everything else was rather good. The drink last was extensive, and low and behold they had Moscato for my girlfriend! And the beer list had at least three or four I hadn't tried. So 5 Stars The food, to start was good. We tried the tuna tartar with fried wanton chips. Great flavor with a hint of spice that made it stand out from other similar dishes in Massachusetts. Next was the lobstah wonton. These were served cold and open faced, which was a great change. No heavy cream cheese filling, but pure lobster. Great 2nd dish. Our final choice was the seafood tower. And this is where the quality started to dip. For something that offers snowcrab, oysters, clams and shrimp, only half was really enjoyable. The legs should have come with claw crackers to start, and we're served cold instead of warm. interesting choice, but still good. The oysters were meaty and good. But the shrimp were over cooked and rubbery and the clams didn't seem fresh. We didn't complain about this, but just made out waitress aware when she took the food away. Desert was good, the bacon waffle combo is fantastic, and alerting the ice cream to melt into the waffle makes for an amazing bite. 4 Stars. Morrissa, our waitress was friendly and a joy to have a server. overall a good dining experience. we likely went too heavy on the seafood, and that was our doing, but quality seemed to en and flow throughout the meal. Would be willing to give this place a 2nd chance.
We finally made the 40-minute drive to Barrels and Boards after waiting forever to try it. When we arrived, we were seated right away, which was a nice start. The atmosphere inside was great--plenty of TVs and a good vibe. I ordered the King burger cooked medium, but it came out overcooked. They remade it, but unfortunately, it was overcooked again. At that point, I just gave up and ate French fries for dinner. I left hungry and ended up eating almonds when I got home--not exactly the dinner I had in mind. The fish and chips was great. My wife finished her dinner before my second burger even came out. My cosmo was great. I was offered another but just so hungry, I turned it down. Our waitress was wonderful--friendly and attentive--and the staff did comp our bill, which I appreciate. But after looking forward to this experience for so long, it was just really disappointing overall. I know they tried to make it right but timing is everything. A second burnt burger after my wife ate just isn't acceptable. 2 stars for the service but the food was 1 star for me.
As others have mentioned, it's nice inside so it's good for the special occasion, but it is expensive for what you get. My fiancé found the restaurant to treat his mom for a birthday meal. We were running errands in Boston and they live in New Bedford so it was somewhat of a midway point. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We started with a New Bedford Stuffy for each of us, which was good...but not worth $9 each aka $36 for one appetizer type amazing. One of their daily specials was a Tomahawk steak, so we ordered that in addition to his parent's entrees, but the steak needed 45-50 minutes to cook so they also had to wait for their meals. Tomahawks are good, but so much of the weight is in the bone and the presentation, so I'm not sure that they're quite worth the money either. The asparagus that came with it felt overly greasy, but the potatoes were good. Towards the end of our meal, a large birthday party was getting seated in the same room we were in, and it got quite loud. I can't imagine the volume and how tough conservation might be with a full restaurant.
As often as I drive by (the bf lives down the street and I drive by all the time but never stopped in) We went on a Friday night and OMG this place gets busy - considering the area I was shocked at how nice it is inside actually. From driving by I expected just a regular place and its really nice. The food was OMG GOOD... The portions and options are crazy. The menu is big with lots to choose from. I was torn on which Shrimp dish to get the Mozambique or Scampi and I was slightly wishing I went with the Scampi. Ill def try it next time. The bf cannot eat Pork and because of that I feel there was lots we had to avoid, but they were able to make the Brussels without which was a great thing. Will def go back to try many other things that caught my eye!
Great place for drinks and snacks! Atmosphere is great, they have some street options but the front bar is great floor to ceiling windows cozy bright seating. Back room is great, quiet, intimate tables. The drinks are next level! The snacks are really tasty, must try with those tasty drinks! The service was excellent, attentive and spot on. Never waited for a thing but wasn't hovered over either just great service.
Had an awesome experience at Barrels & Boards. I ordered the King's Burger and it was absolutely outstanding -- perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bun was fresh, the toppings were balanced perfectly, and the fries on the side were great too. I also got the chicken tenders as an appetizer, and they were incredibly appetizing and crispy with great flavor. You can tell the food is made with care and not just thrown together. The atmosphere was relaxing, the presentation looked amazing, and the service was friendly. Definitely one of the better burgers I've had in the Raynham area. I'll absolutely be coming back again. read more
Great place with great service... good drinks. I loved the burger and the Dominico. Recommended to have a good dinner in a good ambience with your family or friends. A must go when in the area. I didn't give them 5 stars because a steak came out of term. However they did the right thing and made a new one... again, recommended! read more

What a wonderful local gem! I was recommended to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. I visited on a Monday and had no problem getting a table. The restaurant has several different dining rooms with various styles of seating to accommodate any party! I will add that although it was not busy when my group sat down, the restaurant proceeded to completely fill up for a quick dinner rush. A great sight to see on a Monday; I bet the surrounding restaurants wish they had that rush! The drink menu is extensive. There is a number of different cocktails, and then options/flavors of each type. There is an large variety of bourbons and other liquors. I did notice that the menu cocktails were made with similar liquors, and the server/bartender discouraged "upgrading" any of the liquors to something else. I thought it would be fun to have the cocktail with a different liquor. For an appetizer we tried the special crab bruschetta. It tasted delicious! It was difficult to eat because the bread pieces were very tall. It made it awkward to cut and eat. I have attached a picture of this. For entrees we enjoyed the seafood trio and the prosciutto/gorgonzola flatbread. The seafood trio was delicious, although I think there could have been less onions. I think they are meant to be plate decor and fill out the dish, but there was so many of them (tiny, paper-thin onion slices) that I thought they were meant to be eaten seriously. The flatbread was very good, but has few, tiny crumbles of prosciutto (honestly, it looked like diced pancetta). The service at this restaurant is satisfactory. It did get busy, and our server Becca remained attentive and was more than kind. She is fabulous, and a dinner with her is one with great, courteous service. read more

Girls night out with flights of cocktails for the table. I had the sangria flight which was tasty including the seasonal apple cider one on the far right. My friend had the margarita flight which I tried and would get on a future visit. The restaurant wasn't too loud even being at a table near the bar and made it easy for us to chat and catch up. Service was prompt and attentive but not too many checking which was nice with all our talking. My steak tips were cooked perfectly and I enjoyed having chunks of butternut squash and not the usual mashed you see. The green beans were tender and I love some sautéed mushrooms with my steaks! They are right down the street from us and we have been a few times. Very nice since their update. read more
