   Food was pricey for the quality. Steaks were fatty. Appetizer mushrooms were just ok. Not much flavor to the Brussel sprouts. First time there,now that I’ve tried it I most likely won’t go back.

   I always have a pleasant experience here. Don is great, such a joy, and he makes each visit worth a revisit. The food, as always, was wonderful, and I can't think of one bad thing to say about this establishment.

   I love the customer service! Was really happy with the plates that came out ! The waiter was so nice! He really went above and beyond! I don’t remember he’s name but he’s a tall white man with glasses that said he was from Europe! He was so sweet! Really made me and my family comfortable! The prices were reasonable. The servings were HUGE! The drinks were good! We made reservation on a Saturday for brunch and got seated within less than 10 minutes. Food cane out at a good pace! Can’t complain my second time here one for dinner and this time for brunch! Both experiences have been great!

   I have been a frequent patron of Barrel Club and today was by far my worst experience. Upon arriving, myself and additional guest was seated in the high top table area being serviced by Melissa. Upon being seated, the manager came to collect glasses which were directly behind my chair. Noticing that this would not be ideal for me, I asked if it would be best to move to a different table, but was reassured that he was the only person who would need to collect glasses and no one else would come over- this was NOT the case as several servers came over to replace/remove glasses to/from this area. After several occurrences, I then asked the server if we could be moved, she reluctantly said she would ask and let me know. After about 15 minutes of no follow up, I walked over to Michelle and inquired about next steps. She never looked in my direction but mentioned that “she” would let me know if something became available in the dining room. I explained that her disposition was off putting and asked for a manager. The manager did eventually come over and walked my guest and I to the dining room where we were seated. The service after was okay, the server was attentive (not necessarily friendly). This is a very different experience than I am accustomed to at The Barrel Club, the previous server Oscar was always accommodating, patient, and simply KIND! This was a very disappointing visit.

   This is a very nice restaurant. I ordered a salad . Soup selection is limited to only 2 items on menu. Better bread for meals would improve the menu. They have a variety of salad choices which is good. Several menu items are very expensive. Waiter was exceptional.

   My wife and I visited The Barrel Club this past Sunday, May 11, 2025 (Mothers day) , and we had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. We had a 2:00 PM reservation, and within 10 minutes of our arrival, we were comfortably seated. Another 10 minutes later, we were enjoying a delicious meal from the buffet table. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and well-presented with a variety of options to choose from. The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our Sunday afternoon. We’ll definitely be returning, and we highly recommend The Barrel Club to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
