Such an adorable restaurant with friendly staff! Salmon and galette potatoes were phenomenal! Best salmon I've ever had- hands down! Steak and mashed potatoes were also delicious. read more

Solid steak and seafood spot right off the water in Door County, WI. I had the shrimp risotto and it was pretty good. Had the bacon appetizer which was exceptional and my buddy had the pork chop, which I tried and thought was really tender. The decor is very cozy and comfortable and service is quite good. It's a little pricey for what it actually is, but it's a solid place to eat that I'd recommend anyone visit if you're in that area. read more

Delicious food, shrimp cocktail, 22 dollars, filet medium rare, could be a touch more done, but great nonetheless. Lobster which was also delicious, use to be a little larger, no home fries like last year, went for truffle fries, very good, cherry sundae, again excellent, was a birthday meal, but server didn't know or forget. read more

A friend and I had dinner here during my first weekend (ever!) in Door Co. It was an exceptional experience. The interior is very coastal and clean. Comfy wooden chairs. Our service was terrific as was the food. I ordered the beet salad special which was incredible + chicken. I'd been craving mashed potatoes and they truly hit the spot. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the scallop special and it was yummmmm! Scallops melted in your mouth. I was too full to finish and ended up taking leftovers home (which made a lovely 2AM snack after Hill St.) Make sure this place is on your list while visiting DC. Will definitely return. read more

Booked an online reservation for the first available time of 7:45, but arrived early and thankfully the host was able to manage the openings so we could be seated sooner. Every seat at the bar was full, all tables full--this was on a Wednesday night! We learned why once we ordered...Absolutely wonderful service, good drinks and the food... Highlights included the glorious shrimp cocktail--5 plump jumbo shrimp served on ice with fresh lemon. cocktail sauce and "Euro" sauce. So good!! I enjoyed the petite filet mignon--delicious and perfectly cooked--and the baked potato, which was sliced so it cooked up crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, then slathered in sour cream and chives. Mmm... My father enjoyed his beef stroganoff, with tender beef and button mushrooms on a bed of fresh pappardelle pasta. Delicious! Definitely hope to eat here again. Thank you, Barringer's! read more

Met up with a friend here for lunch. They don't have many GF items listed on their menu but it says they can make most dishes GF. I opted for a simple salad and it was delicious. They also have mocktails in which I ordered the lavender lemonade. read more

Food was good! But disappointed by the lack of warmth! Usually when I go to a nice restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, the staff make it special in some way. I was there celebrating both my birthday and my engagement. When handed a dessert menu at the end, we asked if there was anything to celebrate those occasions and the waiter sarcastically responded with "you can buy a dessert and I can stick a candle in it". read more

Every time we are in Fish Creek, we make sure to step in at Barringer's. From the white tablecloths to the perfect dirty martini with three olives, our dinner was nearly perfect. The slightest problem occurred when I ordered a lobster salad and it was supposed to come withdrawn butter, but it came with what I perceived to be and tasted like, olive oil with herbs. Not good. I let our server know any quickly replaced it with warm drawn butter. The service is always fantastic. The atmosphere can't be beat. If weather permits, have a drink next to the outdoor fireplace. We will always come back here. If you are looking for a wonderful restaurant with amazing ambience, you can't go wrong with Barringer's. . read more

Farmhouse modern chic! The inside is straight from Joanna Gains playbook. The bar is adorable. It would be a fun modern place to grab a drink with friends. The outside area was really pretty and well kept. The warm bread is delicious. I had the fish fry which was flavorful and crispy! They do have a kids menu and mine has the grilled cheese with fries. Honestly fantastic. Would have had this myself we made a reservation online but it wasn't too busy when we were leaving around 5:30. read more

Longtime Door County visitors. First time at Barringer's. Wow. What a Great Place. The Lobster Rolls and Crab cakes were amazing. Service was outstanding. Fresh bread with whipped cinnamon butter, Excellent. The Bone Marrow was on point. Generous wine pours. The OF's were pretty good. Next time maybe a large rock of ice. We will definitely return.

We stopped by to have a quick snack so we split the short rib melt. After the first bites we knew this would be a new regular stop for us in Door County. The meat was tender and the entire sandwich was well balanced and worth the price. Our drinks were both memorable and we will be back. Beautiful location and the patio is a must when you are in Fish Creek. Cannot wait to try more! read more

Stopped for my wife's birthday dinner and had some great food. We started with the Tuna Tataki appetizer which was amazing. I tried the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Shrimp which was not only amazing flavor it was super filling. My wife did the Grilled Chilean Salmon and loved it. It was super busy yet our waitress was super nice and was very attentive. Loved it and we'll be back soon. read more

I recommend chicken soup. It was one of those dishes that made you slightly sad after each spoonful because there was less to eat. For my entree, I ordered the chicken and pastrami rueben. It was a solid sandwich. The whole time I was eating it, I was looking at my niece's lobster Cobb and thinking, boy, did you mess up by not getting that dish. I had total plate envy. The service was good, and the fact this place was open in February was a bonus. I liked the ambiance of the establishment. If I ever got north again, I would have to try the lobster, Cobb, read more

Barringer's is one of our favorites in Door County! The aesthetic is very California - clean, modern, white and airy. It's a comfortable place to grab a drink or have a big dinner. On our last trip we sat at high tops with a view of the bar and the outdoor fire place which was great on a cold November night! We started off with the seafood platter (small) which comes with oysters, shrimp, smoked mussels, smoked whitefish dip and pimento cheese dip. It was a great appetizer but a bit too much food for just 2 people! You can't go wrong with the specials, over the years we have loved their fried chicken, lobster Mac and cheese, and most recently the ahi tuna over wasabi mashed potatoes. The crab cakes are also great and you will definitely get a steak made right at Barringer's! Highly recommend stopping in for great service, atmosphere and surf & turf options! read more

Pleasantly surprised after a slightly rocky start. We arrived on time for our 8pm reservation but just after another gentleman walked in to pick up a to-go order. The hostess went to check on it and was doing various tasks around the kitchen for several minutes before returning to let him know they were just boxing it up. Then she finally acknowledged us, took another several minutes to consult the seating chart, the 2-4 empty tables in the area, and make a decision on where to seat us. After being seated we waited about 10 minutes until a waitress came to our table. Luckily after this point service picked up and was nicely attentive. We were enjoying the decor but the music in the dining area wasn't cohesive to the atmosphere, more so to the bar across the restaurant which was bustling. We ordered half salads to start - the Cobb was a meal in itself with huge bits of blue cheese crumbles, a generous helping of crispy bacon bits, and thinly sliced red onions (thank you for thin!) as well as heirloom tomatoes and avocado. The tarragon ranch was tasty, very thick and not super tarragon forward. My cousin got their simple salad with large slices of manchego and a delightful light lemon vinaigrette. For mains I had the baked cod which me being on keto was a perfect solution to friday fish fry cravings. It was flaky, moist, and the Parmesan crust gave me that crunch I missed. This was the first time I've eaten cod and enjoyed it without slathering in tartar sauce. The asparagus was grilled perfectly with nice char and tenderness. My cousin had the lobster and crab stuffed shrimp which were generous in everything- big pieces of lobster and lump crab with barely any binder atop plump and tender shrimp. All in all a delightful experience in the end thanks to some stellar food! read more

Great food (calamari, steak cooked to perfection, sides yum), fast service, and price was worth it.

Lovely restaurant in Fish Creek! It has great ambience. It is busy, so make a reservation. Everything ordered at our table was delicious and perfectly prepared. We loved the chop salad and the bread. The perch dinner and crab cakes were highlights! The servers were attentive, friendly and helpful. read more

Overall the food was generally good but not great, and service was only okay. In general, service in Door county was disappointing over the Memorial Day weekend, but not for the reasons you may expect. Staff seem to have developed some ego, which makes dining in some restaurants unpleasant. We ordered wine with steak and waited quite a long time for it to arrive; we asked after it twice and by the time it arrived, the steak was cold. We didn't even say anything about having ordered a higher end wine, being served a totally different wine after having to ask after it twice, and then still being charged for the higher quality product. We just won't be back. Four stars for the food. Two stars off for the service. +1 for the general atmosphere apart from service. read more

Barringer's you do not disappoint. As always, outstanding food and service. The warm bread and delicious herbed, garlic butter that says...oh just wait...there's more... The Lobster Bisque that said- hello, darling...

We can't wait to return. read more

READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! They are there for a reason. Worst service ever! Wait staff is unfriendly and uninterested. We waited by the bar for over 30 mins to before we were given the menus which were flung on the table. We were stunned. No eye contact or a smile. The 2 of us ordered the beef and veggie burger each. It took another 40 mins to arrive. When we tried stopping a waitress for an update - she bluntly said "no idea, ask the bartender. I don't serve your table". It was like do you not want customers?! Food was mediocre. Beef burger was too oily and tasteless. Veggie burger fared better. Fries were the best! Experience left a poor taste in mouths. WILL NEVER VISIT AGAIN. read more

Four of us had dinner at Barringer's. The service was amazingly good -- both un-intrusive and quick -- and the restaurant was comfortable and had a nice feel. Seven out of eight dishes were wonderful one -- my been stroganoff -- was too bland. I'd go back. read more

I've been here 2x before. Food has always been delicious, fresh and something we look forward to. This time, we sadly dealt with very underwhelming service. We got there early, planning to get something to drink at the bar. We were told that if we sat outside, they'd take our order from the window. We sat for 10 minutes- occasionally waving to try to get the bartenders attention. The couple next to us were served almost immediately. When I tried waving one of the bartenders down, he put his hand up- in other words, to shoo me away. Eventually, the couple next to us realized we hadn't been served and told us to come over by them. The bartender rudely said "I'm not serving through THAT window." After we explained the hostess guided us to do that he said "well, I don't know." Our reservation was at 7:45, we were seated a bit past 8:00. We sat for a bit, with no server. Eventually our server came over and said "well I see we have drinks, are we ready to order?" We were a bit flabbergasted... as my drink was empty, we had no menus and no bread. It was a bit bizarre. I'm assuming they felt busy and understaffed. Anyway, my mom had gone early to set up some decor on the table for my 30th birthday and this being our babymoon. So, the servers knew that it was a special meal for us. However, we didn't feel we were treated well, even with the basics. The food was very good, as usual. However, we are disappointed the service was not up to par.. at all. read more

Sat at the outside bar for convenience and had a good time. Ordered the perch with fries and a side salad, and crab cakes with fresh asparagus. Perch was excellent, lightly coated and cooked to perfection. Crab cakes were enormous, two of them loaded with crab resting on a mild aioli. Asparagus was firm and plentiful. Warm bread with an herb butter kept us amused while we waited for our meals. Only drawback was sitting directly across from another couple on the other side of the bar as we ate. Felt like we were miming each other as we enjoyed our meals. Great place. Bring your wallet. Highly recommend without any reservations. Go early the place is busy. read more

My experience at Barringer's is living proof that you really need to read the Yelp reviews before you go somewhere. Other reviewers said it's expensive. That's true. But really only if you're having steak and steak in a resort town IS expensive. Other reviewers said that you wait at the bar beyond your reservation time. That's true. But I think that may be part of the "Wisconsin Supper Club" experience and the conceit here is that this is a part of the Wisconsin supper club scene. Most importantly, Yelper Jim K. Mentioned that the chicken noodle soup was amazing over several reviews filed over a multi-year period. Based on his devotion alone....I had the soup. He's right about the soup. Like VERY right about the soup. Have the soup. It's both traditional and interesting. I also had the rib eye medium rare with au poivre and a side of mushrooms. The flavors were exquisite hot and also the next day after 1/2 went home for left overs (portions are big) In my group, the seafood plate was also popular but pasta dishes and fish fry were not well loved and were noted to lack salt. Wine list was was good and at a forgiving price point. Cocktails were well-made. So, go, be relaxed about time...drink...have the steak or seafood plate. You'll be happy. read more

Our local cousin made a reservation for this place so we went with the flow. After looking at the pricey menu ahead of our reservation we remembered we were in Door County. Our group of six was seated near the kitchen which was less than ideal in this nicely decorated dining room. Upstairs would have been a better vibe. Otherwise the experience was very pleasant. The server did a good job though she was hard to hear over the crowded restaurant - she was a low talker. The warm bread and garlic herb butter was one of the highlights of the meal. A couple of us tried the lobster bisque and it was very good and we could actually find the lobster chunks in it. A few ordered the truffle burger and liked it a lot and everyone's was cooked correctly. I had the crab cakes which were tasty - lots of crab and little filler though at $42 was way overpriced. I know there are more reasonably priced places in the area which I would search out on our next visit. read more

The clouds parted and the sun began to emerge on a somewhat chilly summer day in the county of Door. My stomach had grumbled and I was in need of nourishment when I saw a charming building straight out of a cape cod dream. We sat to eat and nothing could have prepared me for the amazing server who walked to our table. I had to do a double take because I thought Antonio freaking Banderas was coming to offer me the finest meats and cheeses in the land. Turns out the server was actually named Amine and he went above and beyond to make my table feel beyond special. His service restored my faith in fine dinings ability to transport you into a place of bliss. Icing on the cake... The food is unbelievably tasty! The lobster roll, white fish and shrimp were entree highlights. The beef carpaccio is still being raved about. Barringers is truly one of the most exceptional dining experiences in all of door county. Do not miss out on this wonderful place and ask for Amine! read more

The food and ambience were fantastic. Not pretentious, but delicious. I had the short ribs which almost melted in your mouth and my companions shared a 30 ounce porterhouse which I tried and was impossibly tender. The espresso Martinis are a must try and our desert was a "mousse dome" coconut key lime deliciousness. It was our first time there but won't be our last! read more

This weekend my husband and I were celebrating our 44th anniversary in Door County and chose Barringer's for dinner on our last night. We rarely order steak but after reading so many stellar reviews, we both did. Our favorite cuts are ribeye (me) and filet for my love. Both were cooked to a perfect medium rare. We each ordered crispy baked potatoes - his was loaded. I could not stop moaning during each luscious bite of my ribeye! It was the best steak I have had since September 2013! I remember because I've compared every one since! On that occasion, we were celebrating my birthday at Keefer's in Chicago's River North area and were sad when they closed the next year. My husband enjoyed his filet as well, but I didn't detect any moaning. We shared a bottle of Cakebread Cabernet, which has been one of our favorite reds since our first trip to Napa in the '80s. I had read the staff profiles and had a little chat with Grant, after reading he was from Chicago. Turns out we were born in the same hospital, although my entry into this world came many decades before. We will definitely return on our next visit. read more

The food was FABULOUS, the service - not. The ambiance is an upscale, fresh, yet relaxed environment with a great vibe and lots of windows. The king crab leg appetizer was as big as some entrees and came with different dipping sauces including drawn butter. Also had crab cakes for the entree and the lemon aioli sauce was sublime, asparagus cooked to perfection, and just enough breading on the cakes to hold out together without overpowering the taste. Unfortunately, our server had to be called over for anything, didn't bring plates with the appetizer, and didn't bring bread service until asked. read more

Barringers could be described as a modern day, elevated supper club. The black, high back chairs and painted white shiplap give off a light, airy feel with a warm fireplace hearth at the center. Everything we experienced tonight was a triumph...beginning with the delicious homemade bread. For starters my fiancé and I each had the soup of the day, along with the shrimp cocktail. The flavors were fresh, crisp and well thought out. Main course included rib eye, filet, loaded baked potato, broccoli and bernaise sauce. The meat was cooked to perfection....tender and practically melted in our mouths. For dessert, in honor of his birthday, we indulged in a piece of ten layer chocolate cake. This place is a must for your next Door County trip! read more
