Always a great place to have dinner! This last dinner included a really tasty cream of mushroom soup! While we were eating we were asked if all was good by the hostess and then another who may have been the manager. It was nice to see the are continually seeking information from their customers. Keep up the good work! read more

Love the drinks here, very creative cocktails. HUGE fan of the BYO Grilled Cheese, too! We tend to order out here and then take it to a local beer spot that is easier with kids, and takeout is ready when quoted, and they're great with providing napkins, utensils and extra sauces. In restaurant, I have always had good service, and the vibes are perfect for out-of-town guests to get a taste of the area. read more

My husband and I have always enjoyed this place, which makes what happened this afternoon around 1:30 p.m. especially disappointing. I've been having some hearing issues lately, and the restaurant was extremely loud. We politely asked our waitress if we could move to the other room so I could hear better. She simply said, "No, it's closed," and then walked away before we could say anything else. We ended up sitting directly underneath the TV, wedged between three very loud tables. We noticed there was an empty area on the other side of the bar, so after waiting until the waitress was finished talking with other customers, my husband politely asked if we could move over there because it was quieter and would make it easier for me to hear. She completely ignored him. He asked again. She looked directly at him and said, "I don't have time for this," and walked away. At that point, we simply got up and left. I own a local business in Yorkville, right down the street from Burnt Barrel, and I would never allow one of my employees to treat a customer this way. We weren't asking for anything unreasonable--we were simply trying to find a quieter place to sit because I was having difficulty hearing. People have bad days, and I understand that. But there is never a reason to dismiss and speak to customers that way, especially when they are being polite. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. It's a shame because we genuinely liked this place and had always enjoyed coming read more

Was not impressed with the food but would be willing to come back for redemption. Got the pulled pork sandwich and was not enjoyable. Other people in my party got burgers and said they were alright. Seems like a good place for drinks. read more

It was OK. 1. Ordered nachos and wanted full order. Got half order. I didn't clarify, but server didn't ask either. 2. Ordered steak and had big chunks. Made it difficult to eat on a chip. Frustrating. 3. Didn't like seasoning on steak; husband though loved it. 4. Jalapeños big slices with spicy membrane and seeds. Had to cut them up. 5. Beer cheese on nachos excellent. Best I've ever tasted. 6. Half order of nachos with steak-$19. Thought overpriced. I'd see $16. Everything on higher priced side. 7. Son said Windy City beef sandwich fine. Not the best he's tasted. His side salad was good. 8. Sliders meat quality really good. 9. Cheese curds fresh and excellent. It was busy so popular place. PS: Guacamole would have been good for the nachos. read more

Burnt Barrel Social - Steak nachos. The meat is in chunks and needs to be cut smaller to fit on the nacho chip, excellent beer cheese. - American Near Me - Yorkville, Illinois

Our first time here and we'll be back! The cheese curds are elite, especially with their homemade ranch! I'm a ranch snob and theirs is delicious :) Our server recommended the Blueberry Maple Bourbon drink and it was SO good- perfectly balanced. My husband really liked his old fashioned too. We got the steak sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. Both come with hand cut fries that were well-seasoned. Both sandwiches are solid choices. I'm looking forward to trying the nachos and burger. read more

We were excited to try Burnt Barrel Social knowing about their variety of whiskey selection. The food was good and our waitress was very attentive and nice. The only issue we had was that we tried ordering a bourbon blueberry drink, the bartender did not want to substitute Buffalo Trace. Bartenders should be able to make drinks without making a fuss about it. We ended not getting those drinks because he wouldn't make them. read more

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and was seated right away on the patio. All the tables seemed to be dirty, but it's probably hard to clean those patio tables! This place has a very impressive drink menu! I personally didn't get any, but I tried everyone's at the table. The flavored mule (I think it was blueberry) was AMAZING! The canned beers (donut and caramel apple, I think) were good too. The one said they could serve with a cinnamon sugar rim, but it was just a can. We inquired and they said they had copied and pasted it from somewhere else, sorry. Okay.... The cheese curds were very tasty and holy cow, there were a lot of them! My apple walnut salad was bland. I think some cheese (maybe goat or blue) would have worked wonders for it. I appreciate that there were several vegetarian options on the menu to choose from though! Overall, I'd come back ! read more

We absolutely love this restaurant, Delicious Food and a warm and friendly atmosphere... Their Hamburgers are the best around as well as their Bourbon Bbq Pork Sandwich, homemade fries, coleslaw and their Bbq Wings- Wow!!! The manager Matt makes you feel so welcome and always has time to say hi and chat a bit. Probably my favorite restaurant in town. So if you are looking for a perfect burger, cooked the way you want it- Burnt Barrel Social is the place... Love Love Love... Thank you for Quality food, great people, good service!!!! read more

Been here a few times and enjoyed our meals. We've tried different dishes and all were good. Great service. Good family place.

Bar area has a few tv's. Bartenders are really nice and helpful. Great service. Good selection of drinks. Especially bourbon. Ordered the sausage for appetizer. A little different. But really enjoyed it. Good flavor. Only had the cheese sauce since I am not a mustard guy. For my meal, had the beef sandwich with fries. Fries seem fresh cut. Decent flavor. Crispy. Sandwich was below average. Came out real quick, which makes me feel like it was pre cooked. Dry and hot, probably microwaved. Food was ok. More of a place to drink and enjoy maybe a few appetizers. read more

I ordered a medium rare burger that came straight up well done. My dads burger that was supposed to be medium well came pinker than mine (they were two very different burgers so idk how it could have been mixed up). Even aside from the cook, the taste was just subpar. The way they cut the toppings are so inconvenient and not appetizing. The fries were room temp and soft. Then I saw the bill and passed away 80$ for two people to dine. 1 app, 2 burgers, 1 beer. Like holy hell read more

We held a rehearsal dinner here this past week. The food was moist, flavorful and delicious. But the service was outstanding. We felt welcomed and not hurried, a great way to start our love filled weekend. read more

Had a great lunch here with my wife. The service was pleasant and welcoming. The ambiance was refreshing and what I was looking for in a place like this. The waitress was kind to ask the cook if the cook can still make a dish that wasn't on menu. And so they both were able to bring it back to life and serve us. Would recommend anyone to come here. Food is fantastic. Thank you! read more

Burnt Barrel Social - Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap - American Near Me - Yorkville, Illinois

We had steak sandwiches which were great and fries. Steak was very tender and fries were very good, nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. We'll definitely be returning. read more

This place is good for a quick bite and alcohol, mainly. Ist time here and thought it would be better . Service is great, but food wasn't. We got a steak sandwich which had terrible cuts of meat, stringy ligaments...., couldn't chew it, and the bread was old and toasted too much it was too hard. The last was the pulled pork sandwich , it was dry and the sauce was thick and salty. So disappointed . read more

Food was delicious and service was top notch! Our daughter is gluten free so we ordered her a burger with a gluten free bun. We ordered her burger medium, but we didn't realize how thick it would be. So she actually wanted it more cooked. We told our server Deena and without hesitation took the burger and put in for a fresh order. Matt the manager stopped by to let us know they had a fresh burger being cooked to order for her. He also delivered the burger and made sure it was perfect. We really appreciate the extra time they took, even though we ordered it incorrect. The beers, food and playlist was phenomenal! Sad we don't live here(traveled for a gymnastics meet!) but would recommend Burnt Barrel all day! Applause to a great place! read more

Just a short note to acknowledge the good experience I've had with the meals and delivery service at this establishment. I've been ordering their dry rub wings, sausage appetizer, deserts and the huge pretzel. All were delivered to our home the past couple weeks. Everything came piping hot, delicious and very quick. Thank you Burnt Barrel Social and your delivery service. Keep it going, my wife and I will stop in to see you in person again soon! read more

I feel like I need to try them out again to give a better review. I met a friend for lunch on a Friday afternoon and this place was packed!!! We sat outside. The patio area is spacious and nice. I ordered their seasonal sangria to start and it was good. Their food menu was not impressive. Mostly fancy bar food. I ordered a bbq chicken sandwich and fries. It was ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the greatest. I ordered another cocktail that was not on the menu but I'm the board as you walk in. I can't recall what it was called but it had the work mash in it and it was purple. OMG was that good! It was the perfect summer drink. Service was ok. I would only go back to meet with friends for cocktails. read more

Ordered wings and had a Bloody Mary while watching the game.... These were the absolute worst wings I've ever had! They were overcooked to the point of being dehydrated! How do you mess up wings?! The manager took some money off against my wishes... I'm not sure how this place is rated so high! First and last time in! Yuck! read more

Hubby LOVES fried cheese curds,and they were good the first time we came. It's a little bit of a drive but it was a nice day. I immediately took one star off for them being out of the draft beer I chose. I asked for help choosing a similar style but he wasn't enthusiastic about it. Cheese curds were indeed good. Hubby's burger was good. My steak sandwich was average. The fried onions seemed store bought. Very limited menu. read more

Good food and atmosphere. Some items are a little pricier than I'd expect but most items were appropriately priced. The 1/2 order of nachos are huge--lots of onions. Buffalo Chicken sandwich is giant and good. Great selection of whiskey. read more

Came in for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately. Service was prompt and friendly. We ordered the BBQ chicken sand which and the half order of steak nachos. The half order was quite large. I appreciate that they used shredded cheese for the nachos and not just a nacho cheese sauce. Overall though the nachos were just ok. The bbq chicken sandwich was really good. We had two littles with us and there is a kids menu and they ordered the chicken tenders. The ranch dressing dipping sauce was a hit. Bothe the chicken tenders and bbq chicken sandwich can with fries but unfortunately the fries were quite disappointing. read more

Great food, great service, but as it seams everywhere prices high. Whiskey selection is awesome!

I've been here twice now and both times the food was great and the service was excellent. The staff is very friendly and they know the menu very well. The outside seating area is really nice and they often have live music which is a plus! Would highly recommend. read more

The food and service were first rate. I will return. I bit noisy however. Xxxxxxx xxx read more

Beautiful facility. Greeted with smiles at the door by gorgeous hostesses. Seated quickly. Nice dining room and we were able to hear each other. Party of 4 We had calamari, cheese curds Wedge salads, 2 steak salads, steak sandwich and pulled pork. The steak on the salads was tough and grisly. All others enjoyed. Our server Lou was great. Very nice evening! read more

Went here a couple of weeks back for a business lunch and it was ok. Not a TON of options in the area, so I don't think it's a bad choice. Nonetheless, the food wasn't super impressive. The burger was kind of dry and I was told the steak sandwich was nothing to write home about. Cheese curds were really good though. The inside seems like a great neighborhood spot to grab a drink (or a few) even though we didn't do drinks this time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, but was slow to get us our check in the way out. read more

Great wings, great Nachos, honest and good service. The wedge salad is a must try. My wife and I are local, and this is our go to for a lunch date, dinner date or just a drink and a snack. Great staff and environment, must stop here when in town. read more

I've been to this restaurant several times now. The walleye grilled sandwich is PERFECTION! EXCELLENT SERVICE EACH TIME. Easy to get to & so glad we decided to try restaurants in the area. It's not the same since Covid as so many restaurants no longer exist, so its very refreshing to find something not far away. The town benefits from the shopping prior to and after having lunch. Yorkville is now a place we don't hesitate to stop every month or so. Highly recommend! read more

My Kid got into a great school and this is where she decided to celebrate! Now, at first glance this place is expensive! But, The portions make up for the cost! The app's were all ginormous and could feed an army! Cheese Curds: 9/10 Really good! Huge portion and pretty tasty! I have had a few better in Wisconsin, but these were up there for sure! Nachos: HUGE!! 9/10 Pretty tasty with better than avg cheese. We added chicken. Did I mention HUGE! 6 of us shared and we still took some home. MYO Grilled Cheese-Provolone and onion strings:10/10 this was a solid choice! Super tasty. MYO Grilled Cheese-American and pickles: N/R.... Who the heck puts Pickles on a grilled cheese. I can't hit the restaurant on this one since it was my kid that ordered it. I take no credit for those genetics. It was even spears and not slices so that made bad even worse... Wings: 10/10 The boy child did not like them but the adult in the room says they are everything they should have been! Grilled Steak Sandwich: 6/10 This one was a bite by bite variance. Some were super dry, some were tasty. Overall I recommend it but add some sauce or au-jus or something to make it less dry. Kids Boneless tenders: 7/10 They were pretty standard, as per usual only about one bite was had by the 9 yo besides the fries. Overall it was a good time but I would rather see lower prices and smaller portions on some items. If I were to change one thing it is the "make your own" philosophy on the menu. The restaurant should create more signature Grilled cheeses and burgers. I don't like the ala-cart style and REALLY don't like it when i have to force the kids to choose... then they end up putting pickles on Grilled cheese and everything goes down hill! Lol read more

We went there for our anniversary! The food was amazing! I highly recommend the chopped wedge salad. One of the best I have had. Bbq chicken sandwich was great as well. We also had the key lime pie and that was great as well! read more

Stopped in with my wife to try a new place. We began our meal with a couple cocktails. Then move to food, starting with nachos, then pivoted to a brat burger (for me) sliders for her. For dessert, cheesecake with raspberry drizzle. All in all, we enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the patio. While Frank strummed his acoustic guitar, we chowed down. The serving sizes are large and you will go home with food. Give BBS in Yorkville a try. read more

Very interesting place. I arrived here after watching the movies nearby with a few of my friends. It was a sunny warm Sunday afternoon/evening and we wanted to grab some food. This location was very easy to fine with plenty of parking, especially if you have to borrow some parking from the movie theater because they are pretty much empty (Movie theater is empty) Sadly, I arrived just before the kitchen closes. I felt very bad, especially being a chef in my previous career is, but they were happily to accommodate our group. We sat outside on the patio which was very nice considering how wonderful the weather was. The menu was pretty extensive as far as drinks are concerned. However, the food menu is a little small. I ordered the Brat burger with some fries. The name states exactly what it is. Instead of a brat bun they transform this into a burger instead. It was topped with a little bit of sauerkraut and onions. It was amazing. There is nothing more to be said about that burger... It was just amazing. Maybe it is COVID-19 hours, or maybe it was Sunday, but I arrived here at 8 PM which was around the time the kitchen was closing. The restaurant does not close until 9 o'clock. The staff was very very friendly. I think this is a very nice place to hang out especially given the menu for the drinks and how friendly and nice the entire staff was. We had a few people stop by and they were very engaging overall I must say I am a fan of this location. In the end, I can see myself coming back here. The staff service was wonderful, The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I recommend you check this place out if you're in the area. read more

So I obviously love to try new restaurants I can't deal with any more food chains..... so who do I turn to????? Trusty Yelp type in new restaurants near me, and BAM... Burnt Barrel Social, so pop it in the gps and the hubby and I were gone! PS right across the lot from NCG movie theater so dinner and a movie! I think so, men plan a date and her you go I did all the work for you! All you have to do is like my review lol! So the place is adorable, TVs everywhere so come eat and watch the game! Noise level was average, it will be easier to sit with groups of 5 or less, but I'm sure they can make it work! Patio looked nice but we were inside, anyways on to the service. We had an incredible waitress named Mary, I was a bit cranky and she provided the best service she was so sweet and made sure I had some perfect beers and food she was absolutely incredible and I will hope you are lucky enough to get her!!! The food was soooo good, the cheese curds can not be passed up, please please order you won't regret and order the ranch!!! We got a burger and the steak sandwich and they split it so we can share! Most restaurants won't or don't and they did which we didn't ask for so the thought was super awesome considering the hubby and I were just talking about sharing to both be able to try!!!!! The burger was good and the steak sandwich was fantastic, the fries are and cut and homemade sooo good! If you pass this place up you are truly missing out!! read more
