I used to live within ten miles of this location, and I frequented it often. Now that I live about an hour away, eating here is a special treat. I'm happy to say that it's still worth the drive to have a meal here.
The Breaded Aged Provolone Wedges, served with marinara for dipping, are my favorite from Beer Barrel's ample starters and shareables menu. Likewise, they offer a wide variety of pizzas - including deep dish, traditional, and thin and crispy. Cauliflower and gluten-free crusts are also available for people with special dietary needs and preferences. I've never had a disappointing pizza from here. They make their own dough, and they don't skimp on the toppings.
I tend to stick with pizza when dining here now that my visits are limited. The other entrees here were hit and miss back when I ate here more frequently, but I'm guessing the kitchen staff has changed significantly since I last tried any of them.
This is a fun place to dine with friends. Parking is ample, and it's a large place where you can usually be seated quickly. The bar area is also a comfortable and pleasant area to eat while watching sports. The restrooms are clean and well maintained.
The selection of offerings is small. Nothing stands out about the restaurant and the food is overpriced compared to similar fare elsewhere. Service has generally been okay. Best part about it is there has never been much of a wait to be seated and served. My daughter really likes their bacon cheeseburger with gluten free bun and yhe chicken parm is good.
We didn't eat this time around, but the games and people were nice, didn't have any broken games, we spent $194 and got 2 rides for the human crane, 3 gaming cards, and 9k worth of tickets at the end. Kids had fun, me and my spouse had fun. Good times. And they also have gluten free food options on their menu.
A lovely mid-week lunch! The space is an open/outdoor concept which means you can decide whether to be in the sun or in some shade. Even though it was hot outside, the actual seating space inside was cool enough. Overall, the decor, music, and floorplan had a really fun atmosphere. It is for this atmosphere and impeccable service that I've rated them so highly as the food was a little more interesting.
Given how many chips are eaten in a single sitting, I was pleasantly surprised to see the chips and salsa were self-serve. However, I would consider the chips a bit bland in comparison to other restaurants.
The queso isn't what I want from queso. It was more of a paste than a general queso blanco which I prefer. However, the more you eat of it, the better it becomes, so be sure to eat your money's worth of the order.
The Smothered Burrito (which I ordered as a bowl for gluten sensitivity) was delicious! It was savory, cheesy, saucey, and had a surprisingly deep flavor that was just asking to be scooped and eaten with chips.
The Baja Shrimp Tacos were not out of this world, especially for the price, but they were still good. Good shrimp is good so, if that's what you're looking for, you'll be satisfied.
If we're strictly speaking in terms of food, there are plenty of better and cheaper options around. But, paired with its fun 'hangout' atmosphere and great service, the total experience is well worth a trip even if you may find better Mexican food elsewhere.
We had a great experience here! We were meeting our friends that are local to the area. For folks with gluten issues, they use a gluten free cauliflower crust to make quesadillas. It was delicious! The owner went well above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The ribs were fire! We would definitely go back!
I took my two grandchildren for our end of summer lunch, and it was great! The service was awesome, they even accommodated me eating gluten free. My grands felt very comfortable and easy there.
