Came with another couple. Haven't been back since New Year's Day 2025. That experience was mediocre but prob the holiday. Drinks out front and a couple apps - Brussels, Firecracker Shrimp. Excellent. Ladies loved the cocktails. Dinner - Shrimp Cargot to start. For me - Mango Mandarin Salad. Very satisfied. Tasty, large portion for $19 I think it's a good deal. Service was great as well. read more

My Steak & Bleu salad had mushy soft and tasteless beef medallions. I was so suspicious that in looking at a cut of one of the medallions, it had no structure of beef. This leads me to believe they are substituting soy or plant-based "beef" medallions for the real thing at $23 a plate. Another person in my group had a 1/2 to 5/8" thick steak for much more $ and was equally unimpressed. Imo, this place is a scam and bad value compared to its competition. read more

Food, service, and drinks were great! Drinks seem to be getting a little pricey. Ribeye steak was terrific along with the short rib dinner that is always consistent and delicious. read more

We had a great dining experience here. The shrimp cargot was excellent, as always--rich, flavorful, and a perfect starter. I ordered the blackened pasta with chicken and really enjoyed it; it was well-seasoned and cooked just right. The wife had the mango mandarin salad and liked it very much--fresh, light, and full of flavor. Our friends ordered the blackened pasta with shrimp and the kale cauliflower salad, and they both enjoyed their meals as well. Our server was very attentive without being intrusive, and everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, we had an excellent time and would definitely return. read more

I've been to Barrett's 3 times now. It's terrific!! Clean, sharp looking, very appealing. The food is what is the winner. From a kale salad to a French dip. A kale salad with salmon, cooked to perfection. Burgers! Given all the attention one needs. Perfect for lunch with the girls. Or football at the bar. Selections of IPA on tap. You can't go wrong here. read more

Very disappointed with my experience here. For the price, the quality and overall execution fell short. Food arrived cold, menu options are limited, and the portions were smaller than expected. The front of the restaurant is unprofessional -- several young staff members at the front giggling/chatting among themselves doesn't create a great impression given how much customers are expected to spend. Overall experience definitely does not match the pricing, and we left feeling like it simply was not worth the cost. read more

Located in a strip mall area, we went here for dinner. Service was good, my husband and made reservations and were seated quickly. It wasn't packed on an early Thursday evening. We both ordered burgers which were tasty. They had a menu with seafood, steak, burgers, etc, but there prices seemed all over the place and not consistent. read more

We are from NH and were visiting friends in Maryland. my husband chose this place because they had a few vegetarian options for our friend. Sadly they were out of a lot of the ingredients for those meals and she settled for hummus and pita, otherwise they would get 5 stars. The blueberry smash cocktail was dangerously delicious. Highly recommend the prime rib burger. Everyone enjoyed their food and desserts. (We all got cobbler!) The service was phenomenal. Our waiter was so nice and answered questions and offered recommendations. Happy we went! read more

The company was the best. Service was only second to my company. Food was great. I would recommend this place for anyone in or traveling to Bel Air. I will say the decor could use an update because it looks almost like a cafeteria and that food is not served in a cafeteria. I had the short ribs. read more

We went as a party of 5 and had a great experience! Everything we ordered was delicious, from seafood to steak to salads. The restaurant is updated large and takes reservations which is great. There are also private rooms if you have an event or large party. read more

Last time I was here was for lunch. This time for a Birthday celebration dinner. We had a reservation for 5 at 6 on an Sunday evening. Semi-busy when we arrived. A decent sized split dining area with a bar area in the middle. Ordered a Silver Branch Octoberfest and it was tasty. Others ordered some of the house Red which was also very good. For starters, it was the Buffalo Calamari -a Buffalo sauce twist on the classic -we liked it. Crab dip didn't disappoint. For main, the 14 ounce Ribeye came out medium rare as ordered and was very good. The French Dip (with Gruyère) and Prime Rib Burger stole the show. Blackened Pasta with Shrimp was very good also. Service was friendly and attentive. As with my lunch visit, overall, positive experience. read more

Dine here for lunch sometimes with friends. I order the salad with salmon. I am slow to order salmon out because it's easy to overcook it. But so far their salmon has been just right. The salad comes with roasted cauliflower which is never quite done. It's hard to cut with the butter knife that is supplied and the pieces at just too big to eat whole in a polite way. My friends seem to enjoy their choices of food. The service is very good. Always polite, ready to provide service but not constantly in your face interrupting the conversation. And when it's not busy we feel comfortable sitting there enjoying our conversation after the meal is over. I am gluten intolerant and just wish they would offer a few more options. The restaurant is clean but be careful to be seated not too near the kitchen. That can be distracting. read more

I would absolutely recommend Barrett's On The Pike for a lovely dining experience. The ambiance and decor far exceeded what I expected from a strip mall restaurant. After walking in, my party of two was quickly greeted and seated even though I did not have a reservation. We ordered the filet mignon with homemade macaroni and cheese and the short rib with seasonal vegetables. The steak came out medium-rare, as requested, and was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The macaroni and cheese was a huge hit as the cheese sauce was decadent and cheesy. The short rib was moist and tender with an explosive flavor profile. Overall, the food was delicious. Bailey, our server, was kind and sweet. She took our order and the food arrived quickly afterwards. Very pleased with our experience at the restaurant and will definitely revisit when in the area again. read more

We took my sister & her husband here for their anniversary. My husband & I have been here many times. Our meals are always delicious. I recommend the braised short ribs. I can't wait to go back, so we can try some of the other dishes The fish & chips was really good also. Our server was Rachel G. We wanted to thank Sam for her added touch to our dessert. We also meant Duncan, very nice. My sister & her husband really like the restaurant & they thought is was perfect for their special day. Thank you to the manager also. read more

Very consistent with food. Crab corn chowder very good so is the Pike Salad. Nice happy hour.

9.11.2021 Fannnnnntastic Brunch Double Date !! Welp, I located this place on... YELP and what a great find. It's always my duty to locate restaurants when venturing out and this place turned me into a Super Hero instantly. Let me start w this place being nestled in a shopping center w endless parking options. Immediately greeted by 2 staff members when we entered. Ooo, I like that. We were taken to the dining area near the rear of the restaurant. This place appears to be new. Gorgeous décor, well lit spaces, pretty bar area, at least 2 spacious private dining rooms and a nice open spaced large dining room w booth and standard seating options. Jasmine was our table person and sweet as pie. She knew the menu well and was able to answer all questions about meals and accompaniments. Between the 4 of us we ordered 2 Steak n Eggs, 2 Chicken and Waffles, Crab Dip and 2 Sides of Bacon. Let me tell you how we were actively engaged in a great lively conversation prior to the food coming out. As soon as everyone took their first bite, we were church quiet. Whooaaaa!! Everyone raved about how perfectly cooked everything was and the portion size. This meal was so good that we were still talking about it an hour later while at our next destination. Barretts on the Pike will definitely see me again !! read more

2nd visit and loved it as much as the first time. Service- quick and attentive Food- Mini Chicken and waffles - so I'm not the biggest waffle fan because a lot of times they are just too heavy. These waffles were amazing. Buttery and soft in the inside. Sooooo good! The chicken was flavorful and crispy but was not warm or hot at all. This was the only bad thing i would say about everything i ate there. I would definitely order the full sized Chicken and waffles next time . Buffalo calamari- probably the best calamari I've had. 2nd time getting it and it was just as good as the first time. The fried jalapeño peppers is the perfect accompaniment to the crispy calamari. And unlike lots of places, it is crispy and not chewy . Cobb salad- sooooo fresh and tasty. The chicken was perfectly crispy. The dressing very very good. Mimosa- yummm. I truly enjoyed my meal. Can't wait to return! read more

First time visiting, and with the high reviews, I had high expectations. I chose the short rib and my Mom ordered the rainbow trout, which was a special for the day. We split a bowl of cream of crab (unpictured). The waitress was very nice and immediately asked if we'd like to split the bowl with 2 separate small soups, which was great. It is not cheap - $10 bowl of soup. Be warned -- it is rich. The flavor is excellent and had a lot of crab in it. But it is a very decadent soup. The rainbow trout was seasoned well and perfectly cooked, with a light fry that had no sign of oil. We were debating whether they fried it or baked it. In any event, the fish was moist and flavorful - a hit. My short rib was also excellent. The meat was falling apart, cooked perfectly. I would order again. The vegetables on both dishes might be the only disappointments. A little underseasoned, they didn't have a lot of flavor -- somewhat bland. But not a big deal. Dishes were 25-30 dollars each. Not bad for what you receive. Our waitress was excellent. Very patient when we ordered, came frequently for drink refills. Service was top notch. I'll definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

First time here and wow! From walking in the door being seated and then being greeted by Bailey my server what a great experience. They open at 11am I walked in at 11:15 and the place was packed with diners. That is a great sign. Then...the food just excellent. I had the Shrimp Cargot...yep it's served just like Escargot (see my pics) and fantastic. My Prime rib burger with Caramelized onions, Swiss with a side of horseradish sauce and au jus was delightful. The horseradish sauce had a good kick, as it should. Lastly, a huge shout out to Bailey! Friendly and spot on service. read more

Waitress was fabulous! My husband said it was one of the best crabcakes he has had. I had a fillet and it was great.

First time coming to this location very clean lots of lighting in the front by the bar. They have rooms for private parties. Our server Deja was amazing and so attentive checked on us and made sure drinks were always full. An update on mimosas you have to pay for them individually. I got the Cajun pasta it was okay. The waffles were the highlight of the meal so fresh and fluffy. The drinks took the cake by far I got the bees knees. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday with some family. We had reservations and thankfully we did because it was packed. Our server was very friendly and gave us the rundown on daily specials. Some of the table ordered the daily duos and the rest of us ordered off of the brunch menu- pancake stack, build your own omelet, and eggs Benedict. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I really liked the music they had playing- was a nice mellow indie vibe. read more

Food was fabulous. I had classic eggs Benedict. Sauce and egg were silky. My son had steak and eggs. Wonderful. Now the bad...service was terrible. Waitress visited table once. No refills on water, coffee. Never checked on how we were doing. Didn't even take check until I flagged her down. Asked for cream for coffee and she never came back until meal almost over with it. Saw other staff busy bit definitely attentive to their tables. read more

This is truly a 5 star restaurant. The food is exquisite. Every bite was like dessert to the pallet. We had the tomato basil soup and appetizer ribs which could make a meal in itself. But save room for the savory pork chop, and spiked coffee. The rice was delicious cooked in a cheese sauce. The restaurant is clean and well staffed. Dirty plates were cleared quickly. Water refills were frequent. It would be a very nice ambiance for office gatherings and mature birthday celebrations etc. read more

I stopped in for some lunch based solely on the Yelp reviews I read. It is a really nice, clean Cafe in a small strip mall. Lots of parking and easy to get to. I was immediately greeted by a very friendly hostess who seated me at a quiet table. I was then immediately greeted by an equally friendly waitress who took my drink order. There were lots of really interesting options in the main menu but I opted for one of my favorites, the Chicken and Waffles from the Brunch menu. My order came in under 5 minutes. It was a basic fried chicken strips and a waffle but the flavor was very good. The waffle was light and fluffy and the chicken was moist and tender. Overall, a great meal and outstanding service. I look forward to returning. read more

Food is always consistent and great! Love the ambiance and atmosphere plus it's close to home!

This is one of our favorite brunch places. It is brightly lit and has very pretty decor. It also has some private rooms that look like can be rented out for birthday parties and baby showers. I've only had the brunch foods here so I can't comment on the rest of the menu but we've had the waffles and meat (pictured here), French toast, eggs Benedict and everything was excellent. The service is attentive. The amount of meat with the braised ribs seems a bit small but it was very tender and well flavored. Minor drawbacks are that the bathrooms are sometimes lacking toilet paper, even early on a Saturday (makes one wonder if anyone restocks when the day starts) and the gaggle of hostesses at the front seem to sometimes just chat amongst themselves and look at us awkwardly when we come in. Regardless, there are more pluses and minuses so we will be back. read more

We stopped here on Thursday, December 23rd at about 7:15pm with a reservation for four people. None of us have ever been here before. It was a stop on the way to Lancaster. The table shared the Buffalo Calamari which was delicious! I had the chicken and Kale club, which was equally as delicious and had a lot of different flavors. This sandwich definitely hit the spot. I also had a side of the bacon and mushroom risotto. This is the only item that I was disappointed in. I am not sure if it was supposed to be bacon and mushroom flavored, but I got a bowl of plain risotto that tasted like plain risotto. I think they made an error. It was still ok; however, definitely not what I had ordered. The service was good; however, not great. I know that times right now call for being lenient on rating service due to low staffing levels, so that is what I am doing. read more
