    This was my third time here and was at the request of my guests who hadn’t been here before. Front desk guy was very good. I appreciated that the tables weren’t crowded together. Loved the presentation of the smoked old fashioned. I was surprised that cocktails are “pre-made” and can’t be made to order, disappointing. Prime rib was a thin cut, unlike any I’ve had before. Service was terrible. Our server was unfriendly and inattentive. She forgot to bring drinks at one point and couldn’t get her attention at all. The food was very good, but overall experience was tainted by the bad service. I won’t be back.

    Vibe of the restaurant was very nice. The server Don was great he definitely went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. Order the chicken and split between 2 people, definitely the right decision, considering it was a whole chicken that they carved it table side.

    I find The Barrel Club a great place to meet up with friends or go on a date. The food is always well prepared. The waitstaff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming. After one of my extremely favorite waitstaff departed from The Barrel Club, I must admit, I wondered if service would be the same. I am pleased to say, that I have found a great replacement and KaVon is such a joy. He has made some great recommendation of selection for food and drinks.

    Disappointing is the only way to describe the experience. The lighting in the main dining room for dinner was like a cafeteria- WAY too bright. The music was loud and club like at 6:30 pm. The food was not bad, but not memorable either. I think that the best description of this restaurant is an Applebee's on steroids.

    Barrel Club is a good place with good food and drinks! Everyone enjoyed their food: shrimp n grits, chicken wings, salmon and grits, and chicken and waffles. This will remain one of my go to places!
