It did take awhile for food and drinks to come out. I had the beef tips, which were generously portioned and very tasty. Cocktails were OK, but a bit unbalanced. Their gin martini - titled "the best martini in the US" (sic), did not live up to its namesake, but I still enjoyed it. The number of vegetarian/vegan menu items has shrunk from our prior visit a few years ago. It would be nice to have more diversity on the food menu. The price was fair, and I would definitely return.

Barley Creek Taproom in the Pocono Premium Outlets is a refreshing upgrade from standard mall food…read morecourt fare. The limited menu centers on straightforward, easy-to-eat sandwiches and highly customizable flatbread pizzas, all complemented by the signature adult beverages brewed or distilled by the Barley Creek organization. The ambiance is decidedly casual and built for hanging out, featuring plenty of TVs tuned to sports and Pennsylvania lottery games, a couple of arcade games, a foosball table, and cornhole boards that make stopping by more of an experience than just a quick meal. For food, I opted for the chicken salad varietal of the Deli Sandwich ($12), served with lettuce and tomato on rustic white toast alongside potato chips, while my dining companion went with the tuna salad varietal of the Deli Sandwich. Both of us thought our basic sandwiches were well executed. I also took advantage of the Sunday Happy Hour from 12pm til 3pm and ordered a half-price pint of the Barley Creek Navigator Gold beer, a easy-drinking American blonde/golden ale that's very similar to Budweiser's flagship brew. The food and beer hit the spot for a casual lunch, but the service kept this from being a top-notch experience. Our server was noticeably stretched thin managing multiple tables plus a full bar. Basic details fell through the cracks -- I had get up and physically chase her down to ask for silverware and ended up with just a single fork delivered by another server. Payment was another bottleneck: after another server dropped the check, I was left standing awkwardly at the register for a few minutes while the service team juggled the other dining parties. All in all, it's a solid 3-star spot for the family-friendly vibe and solid food -- just be prepared for potential lulls in service when they're busy.

I was really impressed by how aware of allergies and dietary restrictions that are. Seating is ample, the space is huge, and the service is good. That + good food + excellent beer options (their own beers and some guest beers on tap) make this a great place beyond a quick drink.

The outside of the restaurant overlooks a really gorgeous lake so you have the opportunity to sit out on a deck, which is very, very nice. Depending on the time of year you can have just a really nice calming meal. On the inside the atmosphere is cool. There are a lot of TVs to watch sports and the menu's pretty good too. There was quite a selection, everything from burgers and sandwiches to salads and even pizza. In general everyone enjoyed and it was pretty packed when we got there on a Thursday evening. That's always nice to see that a lot of people are going there to sit down and enjoy meals together during the week so we really enjoyed it and you may as well too.

Because that's setting a precedent. Booth seats, cushions are all worn down and torn up. They were not comfortable. The sangria was good, my Tito's peach tea that I ordered. That sucked, could hardly drink that. All you tasted was vodka, there was no tea or peach flavoring at all. For the size of the pizzas they're very pricey. And jeez are they greasy...as soon as you pick it up, your fingers are drenched in oil, or grease. And they don't even give you enough napkins.

The star of the show was the order of Mozzarella Sticks which were warm and flavorful. Our entrees were another story. One entree was the Halibut sandwich. The fish filet was smaller than the bun, so one third of the sandwich was bread. The fish filet was very thin and the batter lacked flavor. The second entree was a chicken tender basket....the tenders were small and overcooked. The batter did not stick to the full tender, so there were spots with no batter. The other problem was that I only had about ten French Fries on my dish, where the other entree had about 25-the portions were uneven. Ambiance-wise, the room for the restaurant was fairly sterile with little decoration and the staff stayed in the bar area and did not interact often with customers. There are probably better dinner options for the money.
