    Philly cheesesteak rolls
    Emma K.

    Stopped by the barn for drinks and appetizers. It's an interesting looking place with a nice casual vibe. I got a beer and my friend got wine. We split two appetizers, friend pickles and Philly cheesesteak rolls. The fried pickles were a little batter heavy but I enjoyed the sauce they came with. The Philly cheesesteak rolls were on the specials and they were crispy and came with a nice chipotle dipping sauce. I was a little bit between a 3 and a 4 but just felt it was average with average service. I would come back to try burgers or something they are more known for.

    This is a great neighborhood find! It was an old barn, that has been a restaurant for quite some time. It is nothing fancy,very casual but they do have valet parking. It is like eating inside a barn. Everything is wood inside. I don't believe they take reservations. The two of us arrived on a Friday night right before 5:30 and we were seated right away. However, by the time we left at 6:45 the entire bar and every table in the place was full and there was a line out the door. We came to try the ribs and we thought they were really good. However, my husband's was cooked perfectly and mine was a little bit burnt, but I still really enjoyed them. The sangria was excellent and I'm not a huge fan of sangria. We can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu. Everything that each table was getting around us looked delicious. The staff was friendly and checked on us after we received our food. I can't believe we waited so long to try this place.

    Go here for a drink, the ribs or to get the loaded potato skins, and I keep coming back to the filet tips over mashed. Kids liked the mac and cheese. Maybe the steak could use more salt to be raised a star in my honest opinion...the crave ability factor that I seek in food is missing. The bar is always on point. The owner is always there which I think is the secret to success. I'd also love to see a special that becomes my new go to but I feel like this is a a great place for you burger lovers that want to be taken back to another time. In terms of opportunities, I get annoyed bc I'm forced to valet my new car and tip the workers. Id also like to see some more tasty progressive new vegetarian options on the menu!

If you're looking for a livelier vibe, the front is probably the better choice, but the back works great for something more quiet and intimate. I was craving the bolognese, but they were out that night, so we ordered the candied nut and beet salad and the pepperoni pizza with honey. Both were very good, but the salad definitely made more of a "wow" impression. Overall, we had a really pleasant time.

He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent. He was such a good communicator and kept me in the loop with timelines and was overall very organized. He played a significant role in the night going as well as it did.
