    I had the Nashville style Chicken and Waffles and it was fantastic. Sweet and just the right amount of spicy. Chicken was tender and juicy, Waffle was perfect. Side of Brussel sprouts with onion was really good too. Combine that with a great local beer from Wolf’s Ridge and I had a perfect meal. My wife had the Brisket BLT and Sweet potato fries. She really liked her meal also.

    My wife enjoyed the chicken and waffles but my brisket was dry and disappointing. The shrimp and grits was very good. The room where our table was didn’t seem completely finished. The Gahanna location seemed to have a limited menu, the waitress said the recently redid the menu. Overall disappointed.

    I was so excited to return for their Mac n cheese. Recipe has dramatically changed and was not the same. It came to the table and the smell was so unpleasant. I took a few bites and just couldn’t eat it anymore. I didn’t complain and waiter asked if I’d like a box. I declined and got the bill. A short time later the manager approached. I gave honest feedback and was pleasantly surprised when it was removed from the bill. I was not expecting that and was appreciative. The side salad and hush puppies I got were amazing. I’d go back for sure and just not order the Mac n cheese. The service was great and give them five stars for that.

    Please don’t go here for brunch! Dinner is good, but brunch is absolutely abysmal. The chicken and waffles are just gritty pulled chicken (texture is like meat with freezer burn) and the entire dish is swimming in a literal bowl of syrup. The waffles are saturated. Bacon nearly raw (it had obviously been cooked folded, and thus couldn’t cook through all the way). Even the mimosa was bad. How do you mess up a mimosa? Do not recommend!!!

    My part of 5’s overall experience was very good. The burnt ends were a little drier than expected and several pieces were chunks of fat, decadently delicious. My husband’s sandwich needed to be redone & we waited at least 25 mins for that. He was extremely hungry so that dampened our experience, but the other 3 meals were very good. We were comped 3 meals which was very nice, so we only paid for those drinks. Overall, it was a good time. The waitress & manager were very hospitable, so we probably will go back to give it another try.

    They were extremely under-staffed, and we waited a while to be greeted, but the server we had was great! She was apologetic for the wait and got our order in right away which came out fast and tasted amazing. Aside from having to wait a bit longer for things (which we completely understood and didn’t mind as we weren’t in a rush), we love this place.

    Barrel & Boar- GahannaResponded on October 29, 2022We truly appreciate your patience, being understaffed is an issue that we normally do not have to deal with. Fortunately having guest that are understanding like you help calm the storm during a busy dinner. Thank you so much for your support.

    Food was undercooked and small portions not worth the price. We ordered the brisket and they only gave us three pieces three strips of brisket for $22 not worth the price. My burger was undercooked and I had to ask him to recook it and it was still undercook I don't recommend this restaurant

    We sat outside. It was perfect. Little music, water scapes with sound, and good food. Who can ask for more! The drinks were tasty and the food delicious. This was our first time at this location. We will be back. Be sure to take a walk along the water after dinner. We did. It's beautiful!
