Delicious food, not the same old thing bar menu. The house-made mustard is amazing, a must have for the corned beef sandwich special. We ordered mussels that were so tasty and a perfect start to our meal. The service was efficient and friendly. Overall, a great place to eat!

Star of the show is the pork belly and kimchi mac shared plate!! Would not recommend sharing with more than 2 people because it’s SO GOOD!!St. Louis ribs were very good and was not expecting them to be asian-cuisine inspired. Does not taste like typical bbq but they are delicious!Ahi tuna was very good but the avocado tempura was unsightly and only ok.Fries were crispy salty and delicious.These 3 shared plates were just enough food for 2 people.We had the house cocktails and they were good but nothing special. The drink menu is extensive though.

The French fries were okay. The Mac and cheese would have been good if it was warmer than room temperature. Here's the fun part that they don't mention on the menu: when you order a chicken sandwich, it's a skin on, beaded chicken thigh!!!! Wh would someone do this to another human being??? And it's like $13!!! So it's just a slime sandwich!!! You'd think the waiter would ask why half of your sandwich isn't eaten, bit he didn't bother. He didn't come back after a bit to collect our check so another guy took care of that for us. He did offer to adjust the bill (which was nice) but I decided and did pay full price for everything. But I told him he needs to put it on the menu that that's what you're getting!! And that expensive tiny sandwich doesn't come with a side. Those are extra.... so maybe get a burger or something?

All in all, this is an impressive small business. My husband & I stopped in on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait for a table. But shortly after we arrived, the place was filled up. We were greeted immediately, had a nice cozy booth, and were brought waters right away by the man who turned out to be the owner.Our server was the only one there, but you would never have known. She brought us drinks quickly (I was pleased there was an NA beer option, and she made my husband a raspberry tea with the bar puree which made him happy), took our orders shortly thereafter, and we never waited for anything we needed. She was very friendly too!We ordered 2 apps, 1 build your own (salmon) burger, and the steak. The fried green tomatos were phenomenal - the goat cheese really hit home - as was the ahi tuna, which was served with a FRIED AVOCADO. Each bite with some of that avocado, tuna, and jalapeño was phenomenal. We ordered kimchi Mac and cheese too because it sounded cool, and it absolutely was. Old Bay fries were out of this world. The BYO has TONS of options for different things to put on your sandwich. They put a pad of paper down on the tables that has all the options, and we just filled it out and sent it back with the server.The service was super efficient. They had the server, bartender, food runner, and owner, who was out on the floor handling every little thing and actively supporting his staff. There was a little wait for the apps after we ordered, but it wasn't exhausting, and honestly, with the food being so good, it makes sense and was well worth it. Way better than microwaved spinach dip from a chain.To sum it all up, I was seriously impressed with Barrelhouse. We chatted with the owner, who said they've only been open since August, so the fact that everything was so smooth was a great testament to how well the place is run. I highly recommend it for a date night - just the right kind of ambiance for something that is casual but still an upscale, welcoming, low-key atmosphere. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!Vegetarian options: Impossible burger option. Plenty of seafood options for pescatarians. Several salads, too!

Don't go for brunch!!! They only have two brunch options with eggs. One is eggs benedict on crab cakes, and one is an omelet with Boursin cheese and potato chips. I asked if I could substitute a different cheese and or add sausage/bacon and was told no we do not do that. Keep in mind there were only four customers in the building at the time. I verified that they did indeed have eggs, cheese, and sausage in the kitchen. They just were not willing to put in the extra effort even though I was more than willing to pay whatever upcharge they deemed fair. Don't advertise brunch and have only one omelet available, especially one that is overly pretentious and will not appeal to a mass audience. This is the first restaurant I have ever been to that was not willing to make minor changes to a menu item. This area does not have many Sunday brunch options available, so we were excited for a new place. We are excited no more. Brunch without breakfast food is called lunch. That being said food was good, and they did a great job of keeping drinks flowing. I would go for lunch or drinks for sure, just not brunch.

What a great cozy neighborhood spot to get something to drink and eat!Simple, down to earth decor and staff but a dynamite menu.Had the mushroom risotto. Perfect portion, tender, creamy, made to order, herbaceous, and packing an umami punch. How I would make it.Chicken skewers, made me want to kiss the chef. Beautifully seared chicken slathered in a whipped feta sauce….shut.up.Then I got a double smash burger with, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and caramelized onions. I hate when a placed sells caramelized onions and they give you sautéed onions. NOT HERE! These babies have been cooking for at least an hour till it’s jam.My wife and I loved this place. Will definitely be back.

We visited the Barrelhouse in mid-October and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Each of the dishes were ordered were cooked to order and far surpassed our expectations! The build your own burgers had a very long list of selections, making it possible to choose healthy alternatives or try something you’ve never had together! The shotgun shells are a must-have if you’re considering an appetizer. The only downside was the delay between ordering our meal and having it come to our table. We realize the restaurant is brand new and staffing is challenging right now, but the quality of the food was well worth the wait!
