    For those that like short reviews: For those in Garden City, I'd say that this place is okay. You'll be in about $10-$18 per meal. Ingredients tasted fresh which I appreciated. Word of advice: you'll be fighting for shaded seating, and the shakes are pretty good. But this place wouldn't be my first choice in the area. For someone that likes something more in depth: The Burger Barn is a subtle burger joint with entirely outdoor seating and lots of parking. Though I will say, the lack of shade here is quite a surprise, honestly I was prepared for people to start fighting over the few umbrellas that were available in the seating area. The burgers and shake that we got came out pretty quickly, and I quite enjoyed the quality of the ice cream. The burger was okay, I could tell that the meat was fresh and quality, which I appreciated. Though I will say that the taste didn't knock me out of the park, it just was another burger for me(and they didn't take off the tomato's or pickles that I requested to not be on there). I will say the fries and fry sauce were good. I'd come back for just fries and a shake if I'm back in the area. But with that being said, you do have more classic/iconic Garden City spots for food right across the street. So if those are busy and you don't want to wait, then this may be a decent option. 3/5

    Oh Let's E.

    We love the burger barn ! The cheese curds and shakes are our favorite. We stopped by today and were turned away even though it said they were open. I asked one of the employees outside if they were closed because the hours posted online said they were. She hesitated and then said yeah and went back to cleaning tables. I don't recommend. We will not be going back.

    The fries are very good! line was long but went by fast. Environment is fun, very family friendly with spacious outdoor seating

    Door in front.

    Brendan and Kelsey, the employees, we're wonderful and gave great advice. They were fast and…read morecourteous, and so far have been a highlight of my burger stops. I had a few special requests due to me sharing my burger with my dog and they did not disappoint. The shake was really good. Blended well. I had raspberry and Oreo cookie. It would've been nice to taste a little more raspberry in the shake. They pride themselves on using fresh raspberries and that is the reason. Fresh fruit mixed with dairy tampons the tartness and dulls a lot of the sweetness.. I believe macerating some raspberries and sugar and finishing with some fresh lemon zest or even a little lemon juice and adding that to the fresh raspberries would knock it out of the park. I put it on the floorboard so my dog wouldn't get at it and accidentally knocked it over. It was so thick that only the huge amount that sticks out of the cup touched the floor mat. Awesome!!!!!!! I got the biggest burger they had. A half pound with two kinds of cheese and pastrami burger. It wasn't called a pastrami burger so I'm not gonna complain that it's just one thick slice. It was more like how you would add bacon to a burger. All the veggies were super fresh. Their choice of bun is the best bun I've had since my road trip began a week ago. Here's my opinion on the burger. The burger had no beef flavor. The only flavor came from the wonderful charcoal grill marks on the burger. Don't be afraid of salt. It's a chef's favorite condiment. The biggest complaint and my only true complaint is that the burgers have a horrible texture to them. Like two quarter pounds of beef breakfast sausage. Not good. If somehow it is how ground I'd recommend using a smaller die and leaving out the transglutaminase. Dog loved it. Would I come again? I sure would. Mos Def

Guys you gotta go when ur a little hungry so when you get your food ur starving.Just go to in n out or crown burger or something else. The raspberry shake was good, but way too overhyped. Warning: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STARVE.

This was my second visit, and unfortunately it was almost identical to the first. The welcome was not very friendly, and our waitress walked by the table several times before finally speaking to us. After that, she never really came back to check on us, ask whether we needed anything, or see how the food was. The next thing we knew, she was dropping off the bill. We ordered two appetizers, but only one was brought out. I also clearly mentioned that I have a food allergy, and she said she would let the kitchen know. Even so, the appetizer arrived with the ingredient I'm allergic to, and nothing was said about it. On top of that, the salad came with the wrong dressing. That said, the seared ahi tasted fresh, and the greens with salmon really hit the spot. The food itself was enjoyable, which makes the service issues even more disappointing. It is hard to overlook a missed appetizer, the wrong dressing, and especially the mishandling of a food allergy. This place has a lot of potential, but the service definitely needs work.

Be patient as it takes a while to receive orders. They are known for their traditional danish Æbleskiver's which are essentially pancake balls. They have a variety of flavors and toppings, sweet and savory. They also have a lunch menu as well as breakfast items besides the pancake balls and an assortment of drinks, juices, coffees, housemade flavored waters. I got the beach babe water, very strawberry forward. I will try something different next time. The Æbleskivers were well prepared and my entire family enjoyed them. I'm not a big fan of pancakes, I prefer a crispy waffle. The stand out of our experience however was the friendly service from the woman taking our orders. She was so welcoming and talkative even though they were very busy. It was our first time here and she treated us like local friends. Once she spotted our dog she immediately searched for her dog treats and offered one. While we were waiting for our food I asked for a small cup of water for our dog. A minute later the woman who took our order walked out with a large, clean dog bowl filled with cool water. It really put a special touch to this darling place. Even though I dont even like pancakes we will return just because of the hospitality. BTW, check out the adorable shack filled with crystals, candles and lovely jewelry. You won't be disappointed!
