Sadly reading the reviews that weren't that great I wanted to go give it a try since it's an outside restaurant . The service was ok , the food was ok , the drinks were good. Guess due to the ambiance, definitely packed and people waiting to be seated . They have music which makes it a plus . read more

I attended the July 4th event at Barley Beach House, and unfortunately, it was not worth the nearly $150 per ticket we paid. I'll start with the positives: the staff was friendly and professional, the crowd was great, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. Those were easily the best parts of the evening. However, the food was extremely disappointing. It lacked flavor, seasoning, and creativity. The drink selection was also underwhelming. They had already run out of certain beers, and the cookie dessert that was advertised was never available. One thing that was misleading is that the event wasn't actually held at the Barley Beach House restaurant. It took place on the beach, away from the restaurant itself. Although it was advertised as a 21+ event, attendees weren't even allowed to walk into the water to wet their feet. I understand safety concerns and the lack of lifeguards, but for an adults-only event, I expected a little more flexibility. The beach restroom conditions were also unacceptable. They were dirty and had no toilet paper, which should never happen at an event charging premium ticket prices. To make matters worse, a severe thunderstorm rolled in, and the fireworks were completely canceled. While I understand that weather is beyond anyone's control, there was nothing else about the event that justified the cost. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly staff and fun crowd, the food, drinks, amenities, and overall value fell far below expectations. I would not recommend this event, and I would not return. read more

The long black hair in my food wasn't so cute. The lack of anything apart from "I spoke to my boss, and we will take it off your bill" was surprising. Who would want to pay for food like that? In a quality restaurant, the manager would have come over - but not here. The Barley Beach House is on my avoid list. read more

The service was very disappointing, especially for such a beautiful and exclusive location. We arrived right at opening time. First, we were given a menu that did not include breakfast. Then we received a breakfast menu, but were later told that breakfast is only served on weekends. We tried to order guacamole, but were told it was unavailable. There was another dish we tried to order and again they said that they don't have it. We ordered the tuna sandwich, but a completely different dish was brought to the table. Since we had already waited more than 30 minutes, I decided not to send it back and wait even longer. I believe it was tuna tartare, and unfortunately I did not enjoy it at all. We also ordered the hummus plate, which was disappointing. We came hungry, ordered two appetizers, and neither of us could finish our food because we simply didn't like it. The cappuccinos were good compared to the food . We were charged full price for both dishes, even for the one we didn't order)) and when I was handed the pen to sign the receipt, it leaked ink all over my hands. Although they did find an alcohol to hand it over to me to clean myself) The view is beautiful, but based on our experience, I would only recommend coming here for the scenery. read more

I have been here many times before, and it was excellent, but this one time was horrific. My server was Harley and she was not pleasant. I specifically ordered BONELESS wings, and guess what came out. Bone in wings. I was annoyed but I ate them. They were not that good. Then for my main I ordered the Barley Burger, not knowing that it came with chips. I then asked Harley to substitute the chips for fries and she said, and I quote, "Sure". I was pleased. But then when my food came out, guess what was on my plate. CHIPS! Second mess up. The first time I could understand mishearing me, but the second time with her reassuring my fries. Outrageous! Not worth it. This restaurant has a pretty view of the Long Island Sound, which is great, but the lack of good service and subpar food turned me away for good. Unacceptable. Only if my waiter is Edwin I will come. Otherwise don't come here. read more

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

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

I love this place!!! Such a good spot to grab a bite! Also Kylie is amazingggg!! Love her and love this restaurant

I went on July 4th, 2026. It was very disappointing for the amount of money (&140-$150) that I spent. The Hawaiian dance was a little disappointing because it was more salsa but still very fun and I got up and danced. The worst part was how they advertised it was 'rain or shine' and had no backup plan for the storm that happened. We were still able to get drinks, but we all just stood in the restaurant. The people were very nice though. read more

The Barley Beach House is in a beautiful setting overlooking the beach. There were 5+ open tables, so we were seated right away and our drinks arrived quickly. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. We only ordered appetizers (the hummus and the coconut shrimp). After waiting 20+ minutes for the appetizers (did I mention that the place was not super busy?), the coconut shrimp was overcooked, dry and very crunchy (difficult to cut). We were never asked if we wanted another drink. As a matter of fact, my companion had to ask 3 different food servers for a glass of water. Needless to say, we were very, very disappointed. 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

This place is terrible. We didn't get a waiter or waters for 25 minutes. Went up to the host stand to let them know we haven't been seen and waited another 10 minutes. Not busy either, just incompetent . Can't comment on the food because we didn't get anything but it's overpriced. Parked at 5:11 and left at 5:50 with no service what so ever. read more

The bartender was extremely rude. As a bartender myself i cannot get over how this girl acted towards us as her guests. Would not go back because of the horrible service. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ordered the food an the view but not the service. I feel like my waitress did not want to service us the day that I went. I got better service from the people cleaning the table than her. I ordered the shrimp pizza boy and a frosé. My sisters has the lobster roll, fish tacos and shrimp basket. Again, the food was not the Sue here it was the service. I would visit again but hope to get a better server. I remember the face as well! read more
