The Barrel House - Newton

After cutting my Christmas tree , I came here for dinner. Unassuming in the front but the vibe is cozy , good music , great service and the Barrel House burger medium ... perfect. Ask for sweet potatoes and horseradish sauce with extra horseradish ... delicious. Love this place. I live 30 mts from the city and this place out here is awesome !!!! And as I left they were setting up for live music :

I'm impressed with the Barrel House. There were a few upsets food wise but the place is set up very nice. The staff is kind and courteous. When me and my friends went it was busy so the food took maybe an hour or close to be served. My medium burger came out well done but it was still an amazing burger, there was no soup and the soft pretzels with beer cheese dip was bland. Other then that I had a good time and can't complain.

This is my second visit here. The service has been GREAT both times. I loved all the apps that we ordered (tacos, burrata) the steak sandwich left a bit to be desired in my opinion. I wish it was on a good bread vs a hamburger bun. The horseradish mayo was quite bland and the steak chunks were too big to be eaten as a sandwich. However that's my only negative comment. Great vibe overall.

Decided to check this place out with my girlfriend and was not disappointed. Both of our dishes were cooked perfectly and the service was great. Here another random thing I can say that is good about them. Their ketchup is homemade. I don't even like typical ketchup but I gave theirs a try and it was amazing.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner on a Thursday night. The atmosphere and decor is great. We ordered the beef empanadas as an appetizer and they were good, I’d recommend getting them. For entrees, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the flank steak rare. The food took a long time to come to the table and his steak was cooked well done and was so tough and over cooked. There were only 2 other tables in the restaurant but for some reason our waitress took FOREVER to come back. Once she finally did, he sent the steak back and ordered a mozzarella and tomato sandwich instead since he thought it would come out quickly. However, it look at least 15 minutes to come out! We don’t understand how a sandwich that easy to make took so long with barely anyone else in the restaurant. My grilled chicken tasted good, but it was unfortunate that my boyfriend and I couldn’t eat at the same time. Overall, the service was awful, the food wasn’t cooked right and it took forever. I won’t be going back.
