Barrel & Boar - Newark

So good, we had to go back again! Tried the Burnt Ends hash (a must buy!) and my spouse had a traditional burger with house chips! Win-win all around!

Great date night location. Food was delicious. Have to pay for sides, but did I already mention everything tasted great?!!

Best brunch in town! Delicious waffles and biscuits with gravy! Plus $1.50/bone is well worth!

Love the food, and love the atmosphere. They do great bbq and their sides are awsome!

The food was great as was the atmosphere and service. It's a little more than I like to spend eating out but it's a nice treat once in a while.

The food and drinks here are AMAZING. The chicken wings are some of the best I've ever had, the mac-n-cheese was decent, the 18oz Cowboy Ribeye was excellent, and the Fireside for dessert was the perfect ending. Try the Spicy Manhattan to go along with it, so good! Highly recommend this place, TRY IT!!

Everything was good, the price was a little high and the noise level was annoying. Everyone in our party said their food was good, just a little pricey.

Fantastic brunch experience. With a wide variety of traditional brunch dishes (with a Barrel & Boar twist) as well as plenty of al a carte choices, there are plenty of options for everyone !! And oh so delicious, to boot!

Ribs had a nice flavor , but meat was fatty and horrible. Cole slaw was tastless..corn bread appetizers were overcooked. Won't be back.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service from Emma.

Waited 40 mins for food and they weren't busy. Food wasnt exceptional for the price paid. I got a barrel burger and it was nothing spectacular. There was alot of grease. Sides are not included so I got an order of mac and cheese. It came in a tiny mason jar for $4 and tasted like buttered noodles. My fiance got brisket and cornbread. The cornbread was really dry and crumbly and again the meat was nothing exceptional.

The food and service was great! Just felt the portions were VERY small. The kids meals were a great value but the other meals were pricey and no sides came with

Best brunch in town -- delicious food, great options, and wonderful atmosphere. A must stop for a Sunday brunch.

The food microwaved. Service was ok. Not sure if they are struggling but I was highly disappointed.

Food is excellent, all dry rub meats with sauses on the side

First visit was bad. Service was horrible and food was mediocre. We waited a few months and gave them another try. The waitress had to get the manager because she even said the food looked bad. My girlfriend got the pulled chicken sandwich. It was not pulled and was cubed frozen chicken on a dry bun. I ordered the half rack of ribs and I could barely tear the meat off the bone with my teeth. Was good but dry and tough. Complete waste of money. They did take the chicken sandwich off the bill but we still spent $47. I will not return ever. I talked to a few other people since my visit and they had the same type of complaints with some service issues also. Said the only thing good there was the cornbread.

Great restaurant! Husband loved the burger and fries. I ordered the chef salad with corn salsa. HUGE!! Delicious dressing. Be sure also to order the appetizer, jalenpo cornbread. Large serving, delicious side sauce and very ample serving. The decor is so interesting. So good they preserved the building of long ago. What a super find!

The food was okay. The waitress only stopped by our table once when she wasn't dropping stuff off and there were only 4 tables.

My husband and I come here occasionally. It’s a 90 minute drive for us. He loves the shrimp and grits! The last two times I’ve gotten the flying Hawaiian sandwich and I love it too.

I liked how they’ve added black curtains to separate the booths- and the staff was wearing face masks.

We had a nice time and will be back.

Everything was great but they were out of kielbasa which is what my husband I were both planning on getting.

Our service was extremely slow. Food took forever to come out and after we placed the order we never saw our waitress again until she delivered the food.

Excellent as always. Jamie our waitress was also amazing As AKWSYS!!!!

We sat outside. The food was good, but a little high for what we got. The service was very good.

We had an amazing experience dining at Barrel & Boar in Newark this past Friday night. The food was wonderful and the service was top notch! Our server was very attentive to our needs and extremely pleasant. We will be repeat customers for sure!

Fantastic on all fronts! Thank you.

We had a group of 6 and was promptly seating. The Service and Food was outstanding.
The only complaint was our table sat directly in front of the main door and every time the door opened there was a blast of cold air. The owner visited our table and apologized for the temperature.
He shared that they recently made upgrades to the entrance adding a breeze way, which did help, however because of how busy they were that evening the door was constantly being opened.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great overall. Food and atmosphere were both amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Food was average, my dish was warm when it came out, not hot. Crab cakes were bland and the French onion soup was not good. Our server was nice and the ambiance was cool. The “5 N 3” cocktail was the best part of the meal! We try to support local whenever we can but we will probably not be going back to this restaurant for dinner.

BBQ was great! But crab cakes were so poor I'd give 1star. All filling and no crab at all. I was disappointed for $22 to get frozen reheated crab cakes. These are worse than store bought from the frozen section.

They didn't give us a table. We were told we were on the list by the app and when we arrived we were turned away.

Jamie is an amazing server!!!! She always makes our visit the absolute best!!!

Recommended! Crab Cakes were excellent! But be sure you have a reservation!

Always good food

This place was better than we expected. Both my wife and I were very pleased with the facility, service, and of course food. We always have a few cocktails prior to ordering and this was no problem. We weren't rushed to order but when we did the food arrived in a timely manner and was very good. We both really like to smokey flavor of our food. Gabrielle was an excellent server and was always around to help us out. We only wished we could have tried their desserts but we were too full from the meal. We will go back when in the area. I'd suggest making reservations since it will get busy.

Always an excellent experience..

our first time here and we were very impressed. we got here early because we dont like a loud atmosphere and we were not disappointed. our waitress was very pleasant and the food was very good. nice selection of entrees, but the only complaint we had was that, the pulled chicken portion was rather small, compared to the size of the portion of rib tips that i ordered. side dishes were the best! loved the cheddar grits and the bacon mac and cheese. will look forward to our next visit.

Portions were a little small this time, usually much larger.

Food was out very quickly. You could tell they anticipated a large crowd for New Years Eve and were well prepared.

All good. Noise was higher than normal but I liked the energy.

Ate here on New Year's Eve. Had a great experience. Food and service was excellent. Wine is a little pricey. Nice menu.
