Food has always been great and is always a great place to grab a bite for food in the summer time.

Really good whole some eats and service. the best part aside from the food is the views here right on the rye beach coast with lovely ocean air outside patio and indoor floor to ceiling windows gives a wonderful ambiance i stopped by for a burger while at the beach and it was awesome very large portion and they can cut it in half for sharing totally go here it's pretty good!

I highly recommend this place if you are on the Oakland beach. The lifeguards close down at 6 pm and you make resy to sit on the patio facing the beach under the umbrella. Definitely specific your preference for the beach facing patio because you will end up sitting by door and the ice cream cooler cart with no view of the beach. They have kids menu for $13-16 but doesn't Come with drinks or dessert. For a family Of 4 expect to spend $100 - extra if you get drinks and dessert... we had the cheesecake and churros read more

Been here a few times before , but this experience wasn't really very good . That little piece of Salmon costed $14 dollars and it was the driest salmon I ever had . Service wasn't that great either , only one bartender and too many people at the bar and outside . You basically had to chase the bartender while seating at the bar . The place is adorable and the beach view is great . But looks like they also changed the menu and all they have are burgers and a whole bunch of fried food :( just what you need when it's 90 degrees out ( NOT ) . I don't know what happened here , but it was very disappointing. read more

We were a party of 4 . The guacamole and chips were great, and then from there it went downhill. The fried calamari and cherry peppers were overcooked as well as the coconut shrimp. Three out of four burgers were not prepared properly... Wrong cheese, undercooked/basically raw bacon... And overcooked burgers, the bread on the lobster roll was completely charred... Bad night for the kitchen read more

What a fun little beachside spot. We met for after dinner drinks, sat outside and ordered some guac and chips. Doesn't get much better than that! Try the Miami Vice: half Pina Colada, half Strawberry Daiquiri. read more

We came here with two other families and were really impressed by how accommodating the staff was. They patiently helped us choose between several seating options - outdoors, indoors, and even another indoor space around the back- and made switching tables a breeze. The food was a bit pricey for what it was, but you're definitely paying for the beautiful Rye Beach views. We ordered burgers, coconut shrimp, French toast, guacamole, and brunch sliders. Everything came out quickly and was fresh and tasty. The servers struck the perfect balance - attentive without hovering, which was great for our big group. I'm so glad we ended up sitting outside. When we took a group photo at the end of the meal, it honestly looked like we were at a beachfront restaurant in Turks and Caicos. Perfect spot for a relaxed, scenic brunch. read more

@thebarleybeachhouse super cute decor for the holidays!! * We had an awesome time with our friends, great festive drinks and good food * It is a hidden gem so just trust the process with the GPS directions * The lobster roll was the star of the show! So good, the muscles as well but they were a tiny bit salty. The service was amazing, we sat at the bar and the bartender was in full control all night. Even with all the people she had she still made sure we had everything we needed! read more

5 Stars - Outstanding Drinks & Service! We had the best experience at Barley Beach House, thanks to Cristian, the incredibly talented bartender who truly elevated our visit. He crafted the most amazing drink call Smoke on the Sound--perfectly balanced with Mezcal, refreshing, and just the right amount of lime and grapefruit juice. His spicy Paloma was next-level too--bold, zesty, and with just the right kick. You can tell he puts real skill and care into every drink he makes. To top it off, we shared a plate of nachos, and they were the perfect match for our cocktails--crispy, cheesy, and generously topped. Great vibes, excellent service, and phenomenal drinks. Cristian is a gem--can't wait to come back! read more

I've always loved this restaurant -- the food is consistently great, the drinks are excellent, and the ocean view is unbeatable. It's a spot we genuinely look forward to visiting, which makes it hard to write this. During a recent brunch, the indoor entertainment completely missed the mark. A live drummer was playing along with the DJ, but it felt chaotic and out of sync. The drum bursts were jarring, inconsistent, and loud, and at one point he wandered the restaurant shaking an instrument like a surprise party crasher. It was more awkward than festive. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones who felt this way. Nearby tables looked visibly uncomfortable, and we watched a tense moment where the drummer inserted himself into a group's photo and had to be asked (twice) to move. We say this as longtime fans of the place -- if that same performer is part of the brunch experience again, we'll likely sit it out. The vibe just didn't match the quality we've come to expect, especially for the price point. Here's hoping next time we're back, it's without the surprise percussion solos. read more

5 star location 2 star food and service. This place is so close to being good.. location: perfect. Pushed back our reservation with no warning. food is mediocre. There is so much potential here. I will say our waitress Karina R did her absolute best and made our experience worth while. Just disappointed with the potential that has not been met after constant management turmoil you would think they'd have it down by now in 2025. read more

The Barley House is a local staple in this area. You can't go wrong coming here. Great atmosphere, great ambiance, and friendly staff. They have a full bar with 30 beers on tap. They have good rotating seasonal food that you will definitely enjoy. This a great place to enjoy company or make friends at the bar. Plenty of parking and great beach view. read more

I've been coming here for two years always expecting a different outcome on the food but today Is basically my last straw, The wait staff is nice, but how is a seven piece chicken wings 18$ and there's NO SAUCE, I think all the buffalo sauce went to my bfs Buffalo chicken wrap, he couldn't eat it and had too with a fork. If it wasn't for the view we wouldn't have given this place as many chances as we did. My suggestion... save your shekles read more

The views here are simply breathtaking. I'm looking forward to sitting outside in the summer. The spiced hot chocolate was strong but enjoyable on a hot day. I had the Shor rib grilled cheese, which was an experience with every bite. It was hot, the rib was tender, cheesy to perfection, and the tomato soup provided the best dipping sauce. My girlfriend had the Wicked Tuna, which was generously portioned and spicy with the Wasabi. To top it off we had the brownie sundae. It was hot, gooey, and rich. Be mindful that if you order fries, chips, or salad it's an extra charge. read more

Wonderful experience and really good food. Our waitress Eddy was amazing. He was very attentive and informative. We had a few of the appetizers recommended. For dinner our group had the steak sandwich, turkey sandwich, lobster roll and chicken vodka roll. Everything was very tasty and the vibe was great. read more

This place is trash! The only good thing is the view. The food was terrible, I've never had fish tacos with cold tortillas. Everything looked old and unappetizing. The lobster roll was $41 and it was so dry !!!!!!! How dare these people serve awful tasteless food. Never going back. read more

Terrible service and not great food. Waitstaff took our order and got it wrong 4x. That is not an exaggeration. Our waitress was new and person training her did not exactly fix the mistakes. We told them in advance it was our anniversary and nothing was done, no acknowledgement of any kind. They blamed it on the fact that "everyone is new and it's the first day." Glad we tested it out before buying tickets for their Father's Day event. Will not be back. read more

i'm rating a 3 because of the view. Last night 4th of July a disaster!! what were we thinking? 1.5 hour wait for food , people served ahead of us, wrong order came, although tables were empty outside not given option to sit there. Just poor service and attention . read more

Came here for my birthday and it was such a beautiful view. I had the steak and fries and my boyfriend had the lobster roll and neither of them disappointed. We came in the fall so it was a bit chilly but I imagine it's the perfect place to grab lunch in the summer. Rye Beach is literally across so you have a great view with your food and can walk on the boardwalk to burn off the calories right after. The service was also really good. read more

My girlfriends and I went for lunch yesterday. I want to start by saying that the views are amazing, but the experience was far from it. We sat at a table and it took forever for the waiter to come by and ask this for drinks. I can't blame the waiter because there wasn't enough wait staff for the amount of people that were there eating. No sign of a manager walking around making sure everything was OK. All young kids doing their best to serve all the people that were there. One of my friends ordered scrambled eggs, it arrived at the table in a small dessert plate. Nothing around it not even a piece of lettuce or tomato. I have to say the food was mediocre. We weren't asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. The place was super loud. You can't even hear yourself think. Like I said it's too bad because the location is great. Please hire more staff!! Not going back! Oh, and I forgot to mention that I had to pay $11 to park to eat at a restaurant. read more

Today for lunch we dined at this restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. Our group of eleven enjoyed a variety of dishes, including steak sandwiches, sushi, salmon, and salad. Every dish was well-prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was also quite pleasant, making it a great place for a group outing. We were all impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of both the food and the service. We look forward to returning soon! Our reservation was for tomorrow for 10, by mistake and we showed up today and we were 11! No problem. Great manager and hostess. read more

As a former resident of Rye I HAD to take my boyfriend here for the views and memories. - It was the weekend before Christmas.. We sat by the windows overlooking the beach which was gorgeous. The deco was festive and the staff was friendly. - We ordered the short rib melt with a hot toddy hot chocolate and the wicked tuna sandwich with the wasabi on the side. The short rib grilled cheese was an experience! The bread was buttered and slightly toasted, the meat was perfectly seasoned and the sandwich was served with a small serving of tomato bisque. The Wicked Tuna Sandwich was delicious and the wasabi sauce wasn't . Its served raw, i asked for it to be cooked at medium rare. Definitely recommended. It was a pleasant surprise. Be mindful that If you order fries, chips or salad its an extra charge. read more

Lovely, lovely spot for a quiet (in the offseason!) afternoon lunch overlooking Rye Beach and the LI sound. Nice selection of apps and mains and a weekend brunch until 3pm. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was a standout, and my sister in law really enjoyed her fresh strawberry mule! read more

Absolutely horrible experience! The staff was incompetent, and every dish for our party of four was wrong. The manager was brought over, wanting us to explain again why it was all wrong, and she blamed us for the mix-up. She said we were being rude to her employees for asking them to remove a plate, which was done because it was not what we ordered. I've never experienced anything like it! It's the worst restaurant on earth! read more

Went for lunch. Steak sandwich was good, but could do without the chips. Would prefer fries. Partner had the buttermilk chicken sandwich. Chicken salty and dry. For some reason the bun had oil brushed on top. Not good. Turn off. read more

I came here twice now. The setting is lovely they have a patio on the beach. My Partner got lobster rolls & we were not expecting it to be $75 for two lobsters rolls considering average price are $30. However it brought a decent amount of lobster. My thing is it was drench in sauce way too much mayo and the bread had a slight burnt taste. The potatoes chips it came with were super oily and lack taste (no salt). The 2nd time I decided to give it another try & try something else off the menu since restaurants here are very limited. I got Wings , turkey club and steak sandwich. Wings were good but we're they $18 good ehh. Turkey club was your average regular sandwich $21. Steak sandwich I liked it but it idk if it was the caramelized onions but it was soooo oily! The bread was soaked! Overall you're paying for the scenery. read more

Food was good and view of the beach/ocean was awesome! The server was attentive. Will definitely visit again.

I ate at the Barley Beach House for lunch today and it was great! This was my second time here and my experience both times were pretty similar. First, the view is amazing! I love being able to sit outside and look at the beach. The drinks are always good! The first time I went I had a regular mojito, today I had the Sunshine Froze and it was very good. The food is pretty tasty as well. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and my friend had the lobster roll. We both enjoyed our meals. I totally forgot to take pictures of them as we were enjoying the view and the conversation so much! The service, as others mention, is slow. However, if you are looking for a relaxing, non-rushed meal, with a great view, this place is perfect I'll definitely be back with my friend! It's become our favorite place to meet up. read more

My friend and I went out for an end of the summer dinner and it took about an hour for a burger and steak sandwich to arrive. When we approached the waiter he became embarrassingly rude to us in front of other patrons. We called upon management who was helpful but never received an apology by the waiter. We were shocked at the treatment of this man and plan to never return. The food was subpar but the ambiance was nice. I hope anyone reading this review has a better experience than we did. read more

Great service, very nice people. Obviously great views of the water. I have been here a few times; there are good choices on the drinks. I have had the Buffalo Chicken wrap which I thought was very good. Nice Fish Tacos, Salads and Plantains are very good also. I will say that I wouldn't waste my time again on the steak sandwich ever again, not even close to what the photos show. The steak itself was tasty, and cut in cubes, but there were about 6 cubes on one side of the sandwich and 3 cubes on the other side. So, I will say don't waste your money, 25 bucks on a steak sandwich. Very disappointed in that one. I was thinking to give back, but it's not something I normally do. Overall, nice place, good people. read more

Came back here for a second time on the Fourth of July holiday for lunch. We had a great table on the patio overlooking the beach. We decided to try the frozen margarita xl. I liked it, it could use a little less agave, but overall I enjoyed it. We then ordered the wicked tuna sandwich, and the fish and chips. Both entrees were excellent. The wicked tuna sandwich is a full tuna steak with avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato and this really good wasabi mayonnaise. It can get a little messy, but it's worth the extra napkins. The fish & chips was cooked well, the charred lemon slice was a nice touch and fries were tasty. I didn't try the coleslaw but it comes with that as well. Our server Sydney was friendly, and the food came out rather quickly. Another great experience for us at the Beach house. read more

Overall I think this deserves 3.5/5 stars. Service was a 3/5 but you can tell there were only a few waiters/waitresses. And food was 4/5. They're probably understaffed and with covid a lot of places are understaffed so I get it. The food was pretty good though and the overall ambiance was great. Brussel sprouts: would recommend. I liked the combo with feta cranberries and walnuts and balsamic glaze Clam pizza: this was my least favorite. I actually didn't enjoy it. The bacon was overpowering, probably to over-compensate for not enough clams. And the cheese was confusing. It was liquid-y and they easily could've just stuck to one type of cheese...and less of it The Cali turkey burger was good and I liked that their homemade fries aren't super dark and oily. The wicked tuna was probably my favorite. The aioli wasn't too strong and the tuna steak was cooked perfectly. The eggplant meatballs were decent. They weren't my personal favorite, but everyone at my table liked them! read more

We were seating inside, right by the entrance to the kitchen, with blaring loud music playing. It took 20 mins to order, and then we waited 45 minutes without the food coming out. We have two young kids who could not tolerate waiting more than an hour for their food. This place is horribly disorganized, and understaffed. I have never left a place before the food arrived, but we left with two very unhappy children, scrambling to get food elsewhere quick. read more

We had 12:30 reservations today and were seated at a table in the full sun. We asked to be moved to a table with an umbrella and we were told they were "reserved". Well we also had a reservation. The hostess said she would get someone to move an umbrella and disappeared never to be seen again. Our poor waiter got stuck dealing with us as we insisted we needed shade He spoke to the manager who said the umbrella tables were reserved and we could eat inside. We repeated we had a reservation and finally were able to move. Neither the hostess nor the manager came over they dumped everything on the poor waiter. Terribly poor management at this place. Not worth going as food is mediocre at best and the only redeeming factor is the view. Management needs to step up and develop a spine read more

This place is beautiful! I came today for my daughters birthday lunch and it was incredible. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The adults had the crispy calamari, potstickers, and the barley burger. They sang happy birthday to my daughter and it was so sweet! As the waitresses passed with drinks I saw a piña colada and immediately asked my eldest daughter if we could come back for dinner and drinks and we DID! My two daughters and I enjoyed the beautiful views of the beach and I ordered the crispy calamari AGAIN because it was so good. The piña colada did not disappoint! It was so nice I ordered it twice! The restaurant was packed when we got there for dinner but the service was still spectacular. When dessert came around, the waiters and waitresses sang happy birthday for my youngest daughter again and she loved it! A special thank you to our waitresses Harleigh and Devon for making my daughters birthday extra special! I would definitely recommend the Barley Beach House for customers of all ages and I will 100% be coming back myself! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the summer. The service is slowwwww, but just go when you're not in a rush. Fun drinks, some food is solid and others are mediocre (think the crawfish boil is bad, but the catch of the day is usually great). Fun to eat by the beach in the summer! read more
