Welcoming. We ordered at the counter and the food came out within a few minutes. Love the decor, it's comfy, great place to sit and have conversation without loud music playing. The roast beef sandwich was probably our favorite thing we ordered. The fried chicken thigh sandwich was unexpectedly messy, great smoky flavor. I had to switch over to fork and knife halfway through. It was delicious and spicy. The fries were thin, crispy, well done and perfectly salty. Look forward to visiting again to try something different on the menu. read more

Barrow Food House - Fried chicken thigh sandwich, roast beef with horseradish sauce on sourdough, fries - New American Near Me - Riverhead, New York

We were pleasantly surprised how creatively conceived and perfectly executed our lunch was at this restaurant. Looking into the background of the chef owners, we discovered the reason. They are culinary artists with diverse experience in myriad restos and cuisines. We had a great burger as well a wonderfully bright serving of smashed Chineae inflected cucumbers and a wow Mulligatawny curry-spiced soup with British-Indian origins, named from the Tamil words for "pepper water." Exciting food. read more

I loved the food at Barrow. I only went one time but would definitely go back. Keep in mind you do not get served. You have to go to a kiosk to order and get a number to leave on your table for someone to bring your food. There's a water station to pour your own water. So that's annoying if you're looking to relax and be served because you have to do a lot of the serving yourself. The outdoor porch was a really nice place to sit on a sunny day. I would go back! read more

The food was so very delicious and the service was great too!! Great little spot that never disappoints!

Great neighborhood place. Love parking in the back. Food is do good. the curry bowl is vegetarian but do good. The lobster salad was yum, smashed burger always yummy. You order the food at the counter n then the server will bring the food to yr table. I love the wallpapers around the place. read more

Home of my favorite smash burger! This place is a must stop whenever the family heads out East. I've been hesitant to leave a review because WE LOVE IT, & didn't want to share a secret little gem. Great service, efficient staff. Family owned. Adorable inside, small with only 1-2 tables that can accommodate larger parties. Outside has great seating (weather permitting.) Covered picnic benches on side (great for families with kids) & seating on porch as well. Huge parking lot out back & street parking out front. Usually the lot is packed especially during the busier seasons, (i.e. pumpkin picking, summer festivals, weekends.) read more

Barrow is one of my favorite restaurants!! Davie, the bartender is a true "mixologist" I only put quotes because that is the proper term nowadays. He truly is the greatest! He can make any drink and he always has the best recommendations. As far as the food goes, chef's kiss! You can never go wrong with their soups & and the roast beef sandwich is phenomenal! Right now they have a pork schnitzel on special and you should get it before it's gone! The homemade chocolate chip cookies take the cake! Don't miss this!! Adding a picture of the duck wings because they're also amazing!!! read more

Quality not quantity ! Not a big menu but the sandwich options are all delicious & huge ! Always a good choice when we are in the area. I do a mobile order & pick up time is very quick & convenient. They have a couple designated pick up parking spots & just go up to outdoor window. read more

Cool place. Weird that there is no wait staff. Self service only. Bartender ok but complains if tips are not huge. Chicken salad is the star. read more

First time here and it was excellent. My burger was juicy and delicious. Fries were super skinny, the way I like them. This restaurant has a bar in the center and you order your food at the bar. They then come out and bring you your food. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend. I imagine it gets pretty crowded because the food is so delicious. I'm torn if the next time I come, I should have the chicken sandwich because that looked really good too but I wanted to first try the burger, and it did not disappoint at all. It's nicely decorated, and even though the bar is in the center, it is a lovely restaurant with very tasty food. read more

I've been to Barrow a number of times before and just cannot stay away. Everything is always great. The service, the food, and now they have extended their parking lot since the last time I was there which makes it so much easier to visit! When the outdoor seating is full we will typically sit at the bar. Sitting at the bar gives you a server as well as a great view of the kitchen and everything happening. If you try nothing else on your visit, get the Duck Wings, you will not be disappointed! Don't forget to check the wall, they have specials on the wall that are very different than most places. read more

The cheeseburger, fries and unsweetened tea was nothing to write home about. Definitely not worth the $33.00 dollars I spent.

Stumbled upon this place and it was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place. Sat at the bar and watched the kitchen and bartenders knock out high volume orders without breaking a sweat. All the food was unique and amazing and the cocktails were on point! Ambiance is great and gives off more of a local vibe vs touristy. read more

We were looking for a decent place to eat in the vicinity of the Long Island Aquarium and this place was one of the higher rated just a few mikes away. It's a quaint converted house with a really nice ambiance and awesome menu along with stuff for the kids. Food was great, service was good. There's partial table service, you order at the cash register and they bring it to you. It's a little pricey, so be prepared. In my opinion, totally worth the price. read more

Barrow is a great, hidden gem that we've been enjoying for a few years now. "Hidden" in plain sight on the Main Road but we've never waited more than a few minutes for a table, and the service is always quick and efficient. Always buzzing but never overcrowded. There's more seating that appears at first glance, both outdoor and indoors; and the decor is minimal but quaint and homey. Feels like you're in someone's home - which, I believe you technically are. The seasonal menu changes but always features lots of vegetable forward and vegan options in addition to more standard fare. Charred broccoli is always delicious, and the carrot kimchi was a yummy addition to our regular order. The fried chicken sandwich is another hit. After spending the afternoon at a local vineyard, a smash burger seemed the obvious choice and it was delicious. No complaints on taste, and the pickles and house sauce were a perfect touch. Both burgers we ordered were much thicker than a typical smash, but still thinner than a regular grilled burger so they were eaten and enjoyed! I was in the mood for a true smash burger and was expecting that, so definitely a bit disappointed by the thicker burger I got - but still a 4 star meal! read more

Causal, well designed and comfortable. The outside area is cute, you seat yourself and order at the window. The menu is nice and has a little something for everyone. Nice drink menu and fresh ingredients. I appreciate the vegetarian and vegan options. Butternut squash soup was amazing! read more

Excellent smash burger! Good for take out food of a quick lunch! Good quality ingredients!

AMAZING. We drive an hour for this food sometimes. Everything on the menu is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Some favorites are the curry bowl, the roast beef sandwhich (so TENDER), Mac and cheese and the kimchi. I cannot wait to go back. Service is quick. read more

I haven't been here in a while. I see they expanded their parking which was quite nice and I loved the outdoor picnic tables! You order at the counter and they bring you the food. It came out so fast that my friend was still at the counter while my food was brought to the table! Food was delicious! Sorry no pics but trust me! We had a burger, the chicken salad wrap and the fries.... Always get the fries!!! Barrow, you did it again, we will be back read more

The Barrow Food House is known for their farm to table dishes that are made from scratch with many ingredients sourced from their family farm. This is a fast, casual restaurant with outside and inside dining. But it is small and the parking lot is even smaller. I suggest parking in the street. They offer counter service where you order. The food is brought to you if you are dining inside and you are called to the window if you are dining outside. When the owners are in the house, the vibe and staff seem way more friendly and upbeat. The food is very fresh and good. So far we've had the duck wings, smash burger, horseradish crusted roast beef sandwich, hand cut French fries, broccoli soup and the lobster rolls. All yummy. I will say that we were super excited to try the Lobster Roll despite its $38 price tag. And while it was good, it definitely did not live up to the hype of all the rave reviews. We were both honestly very disappointed. We probably should have ordered just one first. It would have saved us some $$$. But it's the amazing duck wings that will keep us coming back. These duck wings are indeed very unique with a nice crisp crunch with a sweet & savory kick that hits just right. We'll be back again...for sure. read more

Was really excited to eat here but it fell flat for me. We ordered the corn chowder, Mac n cheese, double wagyu smash burger, side of fries, and couscous salad. Starting with the positive, the chowder was incredible and is highly recommended. The Mac n cheese had a velvety texture with a nice crunch on top from the breadcrumbs. The couscous salad was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately the burger and fries were big misses. The burger patties were actually a little too big in my opinion. I know that sounds ridiculous but there's a certain ratio that needs to be achieved with a burger. Usually when I see smash burger, that means thin patties with a good crust. These were super thick, crust wasn't as developed as it should have been, and the beef itself was on the dry side with not enough seasoning. I expected more from wagyu. It was also a huge mess with a little too much sauce and the cheddar separated into an oily goo that dripped off the burger. The fries are just terrible. Don't even bother with them. They're thin and not very crispy. They also lacked seasoning. Two beers and $100 later I'd rather go somewhere else but that's just me. read more

Came from out of town for a wedding and we were looking for a place to have a quality, but reasonably priced dinner the night before. Something about the menu here really attracted me. We had the Mac and cheese starter, the roast beef sandwich, and the curry bowl. The menu is small but there were multiple options to meet my needs as a pescatarian and my partner who eats meat was happy as well. One of my biggest challenges when traveling is choosing the right restaurant, there's nothing worse than taking a chance and being disappointed. If we were to return to the area, I think we'd repeat the visit! read more

Barrow Food House is a wonderful place to stop and enjoy high quality food. We've been here twice, once in the winter and once in the summer. Both times were great. They have a cute little enclosed porch that's nice to dine on with fans for the summer and heat lamps for the winter. They've also got some outdoor tables for when the weather is nice. I think everything on their menu is delicious. We've really enjoyed their soup special, curry, mac and cheese, black bean burger, and roast pork hoagie. We love their farm to table style of dishes and will definitely be back. This place is worth the stop if you find yourself in the area! read more

Food is good. Service is rude and also unwelcoming. Going to a restaurant is meant to be a hospitable experience, even if it is cafeteria style. It's like you're in someone's house, and they don't really want anyone there. There's confusion about where to order if you're sitting on the patio - but the answer is, order inside at the bar, not at the window outside. That having been said, my experience with the food was good. I'm vegan and gluten free so I ordered the bean burger with gluten free bread. Even though quinoa is present in the burger, an ingredient I highly dislike, it was extremely tasty. The carrot kimchi and vegan cream really brings it all together nicely. They have a gluten free beer which I was very happy to drink. I also got a side of fries, which were cold for no reason, since it wasn't seemingly that busy when we were there. My friends got the chicken wrap, which they said was just simply ok, and my other friend got the fried chicken thigh sandwich and he was content read more

This place is awesome spot. Nice outdoor seating , order at outside window. Service is good. Good selection of beers. Get the smash burger with waygu! It's amazing. String fries are also delicious . Cocktail tasted like acid so I wouldn't come here for cocktails unless it was just a bad day. Definitely coming back. read more

Barrow Food House - Chicken thigh sandwich, roast beef and burger ! All delicious - New American Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Staff is friendly and "food hip." The service was fast and the food was high end, interesting and delicious. Will definitely be back!

Went here for the first time the other day and really enjoyed it. Loved the vibe of this place, the inside is very cozy but lively except during my visit it was full of gnats. I was swatting them away throughout my entire meal. Food and drink were served quickly. The veggie burger I had was absolutely delicious although it did completely fall apart the second I picked it up- I can't be too mad because it was that good. My only issue was that the food came out on a paper serving tray and the side came in a brown paper cup. For an $18 burger and $15 side of broccoli I would appreciate a more sturdy plate but oh well. I would definitely recommend this place and try it again read more

This a great little sandwich spot, stopped here on a whim. I had the roast beef sandwich, good portion size a little pricey however no regrets. The drinks are cans of soda so no refills, I think the can of soda was like $4... you've been warned. Service was a little hands off, ambiance was low key. Layout is a little weird we sat out on the patio. We had a family with a little kid next to us and they were a bit wild. I think if you're looking for good sandwiches with some creativity and a lively atmosphere this is a good spot to give a try. read more

I pass Barrow all the time and finally had the opportunity to stop. Nice size bar. Small amount of tables. You order your food at the counter and it is brought to your table. I ordered the gluten free roast beef sandwich. Generous size and delicious. My husband and I shared a order of fries. Thank goodness we didn't get our own. Portion was huge. I was very happy that they had a separate fryer for the fries. Look forward to going back. read more

Barrow Food House - Roast beef sandwich on GF bread - New American Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Smallish joint has benefitted form expanding their parking lot. Is it good for groups? (Asks Yelp! auto bot). Not really. Good for couples or a couple of couples but not set up for large mobs like, say, Bluepoint Brewery in Patchogue or Jamesport Farm Brewery or Greenport Brewery (Peconic) is. It's a nice little resto that serves well-made pub grub. Sat at the bar. Decent selection of booze hangs on funky shelves before you. It seems like they probably make good cocktails and, if I was local, this might be the place I would go to punish my liver. But I'm really here for the chow and to pre-game before drinking wine a bit further east. Menu is simple, straightforward and well executed. I had the smash burger. You really can't go wrong with a smash burger. I don't know if White Castle counts as a smash burger but, if it does, this is White Castle's sexier, higher end sister. Imagine you're in an 80s movie and you pull up to pick up the geek queen for prom and she comes out in Manolo Blahniks and a killer, skin tight dress sans glasses (or perhaps avec, it's your fantasy). But yeah, it's like that. Moist (heheheh), salty, tasty and appropriately messy. Side of fries is extra but crispy and big enough to share (maybe). Decent selection of craft beer for that craft beer geek in you. Also highly recommend the duck wings; moist (there's that word again!) and flavorful. Also a favorite. Great spot to grab a bite as you start your adventures out on the North Fork. read more

We walked in for an unplanned dinner after a visit to the vineyards. It looks like a regular house from the outside, but the inside is decorated with dark, 1960s vibes. You pick a seat and order at the counter by the bar. It's a quite small place, not for huge groups. We had a couple of canned beers, the breakfast burrito, and the fried okra because we didn't want a huge meal. The breakfast burrito had a duck confit inside and came with a side of salsa verde that was nice and hot. The duck was cooked perfectly, as were the eggs. The flavor combination and the execution honestly surprised me. The okra was yummy as well. I usually don't enjoy the texture of okra, but it was fried in a way that preserved the crunchy exterior so that it can serve as a contrast to the sticky, gooey inside. The bar looked stacked. If I had more time and leisure, I would have tried more food and drinks. They all sounded really interesting. read more

We were at Harbes today and wanted to stop for a quick bite to eat before heading home. I was dying for a smash burger but Lake Grove was too far, so we found Barrow Food House because they have what they call a 'Smash Burger' on the menu. First thing is first. The staff is so rude. We walked in and were told they can't accommodate more than four and we had to sit outside. We even asked them if we could just sit at separate tables seeing as we were two separate families, they would not even allow us to do that. I don't know, that's odd. Had two groups of four walked in, they would have been seated, what's the difference? We did not ask them to combine tables. It was fifty degrees out, but I get it, we went outside. The 'rude' comes from the gentleman at the window taking the order. My wife went up to order and while she was ordering the 'Smash Burger', which has six things on it by default, she started to tell him 'no pickles, no lettuce', and before the word lettuce came out of her mouth, he literally jumped down her throat and said 'why don't you just tell me what you want on it, instead of what you don't want on it'. Listen, we both have thick skin, but come on, the same amount of words are going to come out of her mouth either way, lighten up a bit. If there's six things on the burger by default and you don't want three of them, well, 'no lettuce, no pickles, no onions' compared to 'with cheese, with bacon, with house sauce' works out to be the same thing. As far as the food, I ordered the 'Smash Burger', which is NOT a smashed burger. It was round and thick, not even close to a 'Smash Burger'. Picture attached for reference. Putting that aside, the burger was decent, it was just a burger, nothing to write home about. Not sure if I loved the crumbled bacon on it, it kind of reminded me of those soft bacon bits, not real bacon. The fries were decent. I don't really like to comment on food I didn't eat, so I'll leave my wife, and kids out of the review. In short, they were fine with their chicken. We had another family with us, she experienced the same rude gentleman when she ordered. I don't know specifics, but she had just said he was very rude. ‍ If it wasn't for the rudeness, I'd likely go three star, because my 'Smash Burger' was not a smashed burger. But, considering him, I have to go two star. When you go to McDonald's, maybe even a diner, and you spend ~$40, I guess rude and/or terse staff is somewhat expected. But, when you're spending ~$120 for a family of four for a burger, and chicken, freezing your butt off outside, I don't know, expectations are a bit higher. Keep in mind, I am the odd-ball here, this spot is loaded with five star reviews, I am simply sharing my personal experience. read more
