Even though the restaurant had only one server/bartender he kept up with all the customers. The food and drink were great- homemade chili hot dog was exceptional.

Pulled pork was super yummy…love the real cut French fries. My soda didn’t taste right but owner was real nice about changing it. Hubby thought his chicken was a little over done but still ate it, waiter took some off the price without us even saying anything, which was nice but truthfully we weren’t gonna complain. My daughters chicken strips were tasty too. Service was quick but kind of wondered why they were bringing food in from outdoors and realized the kitchen was upstairs. Wasn’t sure about that but food came quickly enough that the temp was still quite warm.

I loved this place the it’s the best place I’ve been in such a long time. I strongly recommend anyone in the area to come check them out!

The bar/restaurant is nice. The waiter was polite. The bartender was nice. However, the food was by far the worst meal we have ever had. The burger served was raw in the middle, the fries were like they had been reheated several times in a microwave. It was bad enough that we could not even eat it, paid and left it on the table. Very high priced for this quality. Tasted horrible all in all. After leaving and reading some more of the reviews, I will agree with the ones that are not so nice. And after reading the replies to the reviews I would suggest that apologizing would be better than trying to shame the guests. They are the bread and butter of the food service! Fixing your problems of the reviews that are not good and you won’t get as many bad ones but more good ones.

We looked at the menu online and thought it looked good so we went there. We were greeted by a female bartender who sat us. We looked around and saw that no one had food. Then we looked at the menu and it was not even close to what the menu online looked like. It only had a portion of the food on it. We noticed that they charge 75 cents for a glass of water. The bartender/ waitress came over to our table and my wife asked if they really charged for water and the lady very rudely said they do because they were in a drought and their water bill had gone up. She had an attitude so we decided to leave without ordering. The place is a real dive with rude help. Eat and drink somewhere else.

It was a late September evening around 8pm when we decided to got to BaRLee’s to eat. While there it was evident that they were extremely busy and my fiancé and I decided to eat outside. The wait staff was overwhelmed for how many people there were there. We waited a little over an hour to receive our food (after they waited 30 minutes to ask again what we ordered). Once getting our food (an Indian taco and bacon cheeseburger) we found out the beef was dry, spongy, and burnt. When talking to the wait staff about it they apologized and asked if they could get us a free soda. We explained we did not want compensation but just thought they should know there was something going on with the food. When my fiancé went to pay for our food he was confronted by an older female and what I’m assuming was the owner and a male, probably the cook. The cook asked the female if we were “the ones” that had issues with our food to which she stated yes. The cook then stated that we could “kiss his a**.” Save money, time, and your tastebuds by skipping this place.

The waitress was very short with us. It was clear she felt she was being overworked. I don't know if they were short staffed that day or not, but she definitely made us feel as though we were an inconvenience.

Neat place, dollar bills signed by visitors from all over. Great burgers and hand cut fries. Good stiff drinks and Miller High Life

Wish I could give less then one star just went in there to eat and the older dark headed hostess/manager/owner was rude when we walked up. Did not say two words seemed to be more worried about her cigarette and drink standing out on the patio and payed us no mind so we walked in and the guy tried helping us, she jerked the menu’s out of his hand and was rude to him also… save your money and go to Sprokets next door much better service!

We came here from out of town on vacation. We stayed down the road from this restaurant so was easy to just walk there and we wanted some drinks and food. We had 3 people in our party and it was a nice day so we thought it would be nice to sit outside because they had 2 different patios connecting the building. We went into the restaurant and asked if we could sit outside because the inside of the restaurant was very hot and the table that was available was a 6-top table. The lady who was seating us told us we could not sit at this table because it was for large groups and advised us if a large group came we would have to move. We said fine, you can move us if that happens. Immediately was given attitude from waitress. Ordered our food and it wasn't very good. Looked like their fryer grease was old. I found plastic in my burger and immediately lost my appetite. Others were trying to come in for patio seating as well and were turned down for the same reason. Would not ever eat here again. Rude staff and food wasn't very good in my opinion.
Not a lot of choice late in the day. Tired from a day in Custer. We were lured by the bright light. Woman at the bar needs to improve her people skills. Male server seemed lost. Slow to take order. Came back 3 times to double check what we ordered. Something about the computer not working. Maybe next time try a pencil and paper. 45 minutes for food to arrive. One person in our party didn't even get what he ordered but he ate what came because he was hungry. FYI chef. "indian taco" is made with fry bread not a pancake! When husband went to pay, woman's attitude hadn't changed. Maybe close the restaurant. Husband had to pick his change up off the floor. Expensive for slow and cold.

After touring all day in a car with out air, we just wanted an LFO, a stupid coors light. Asking for a glass was like asking for the world. Good luck. One and done.

Ordered chili cheese dog and chili was refrigerator cold and the hot dog wasn't at appropriate temperature. Fries weren't good, probably using super old fryer oil. Charge for water. I do not recommend.

Bartender/ waitress nice and did good. Food was horrible. I had Bourbon grilled chicken. Barely warm. Rice must have had the cooks cigarette ashes fall in it. So bad was unedible. Wife's cowboy burger was hot but bacon and cheese ice cold. Fries were cold. It is unlike me to not complain and send back but on vacation and too tired from attractions to put up a fight. Beer and wife's drink was good. So I just paid and left. This is my first restaurant review. I guess they need to do some quality control.Horrible hope we don't get sick later from bad food

Stopped in last month. We all ordered beef or buffalo burgers. None of us liked our food. I think the burgers may have been air fried? They tasted weird. They were under seasoned for sure. They floor was really greasy in the place. Can close to slipping and falling. I would never recommend or go back.
