Oscar is the best!!! He was very accommodating. I’ll definitely ask for him next time. We ordered the hot chicken and waffles. We absolutely hated the waffles. They were wayyyy too sweet. The worst we’ve ever had. But the chicken on the other hand, 10/10!

Went for brunch and had a great time. The food was excellent and our server Chris was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Checked on us often, but not too often. Definitely recommend the shrimp and grits and bottomless mimosa/bellini. I found the Bellinis to be slightly better but both were good.

I met friends at the The Barrel Club because it was halfway between our locations. I just found the restaurant online, and didn’t have any pre-conceived ideas. We loved everything. The salads were amazing. I got bacon Mac and cheese. It was tasty. The team members were all friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable. They had a photographer on-site, which was a nice touch. (Note you do have to pay for the framed photos.) We will securely be back.

I’ve been a few times and I always make reservations, however I always have to wait 15 mins or longer when I have a reservations. What is the point of a reservation if I still have to wait. I also have ask and no explanation is ever given. Not sure if tables are over booked but this takes away from my experience and is not appreciated.

This was my first time going and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Whether it was the bourbon to the food, every selection was delicious. The prices were more than reasonable for the quality you were provided but the overwhelmingly standout was the service. Oscar was HANDS DOWN the best server I’ve ever had. Personable, friendly, gave great recommendations and made you feel at home. My wife and I will be back and bringing more friends to enjoy the Barrel Club with us

My group and I thoroughly enjoyed The Barrel Club. We had a large group of people and several reservations but they accommodated us well. There was some confusion in the beginning but the staff was VERY patient and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. Out of the 30 or more guests that dined with our group, EVERYONE said their food was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits, which were perfectly seasoned and tasty! I also had the lucky #9 flight and enjoyed that as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I’ve been here several times and am now a HUGE FAN of the Taken for Pomegranate champagne cocktail and the Oysters Rockefeller!!!!!! What a delicious start! The alderman enjoyed the shrimp and grits as an appetizer and took half of it to go—a ringing endorsement. We both enjoyed the “BCB” breakfast—two eggs, toast (he substituted the delicious French toast), sausage/bacon, and hash browns. Our plates were clean!!!!

I requested the server I wanted at 11:10am. Upon entry one hostess stated the note wasn’t present the other hostess stated the note was. I ordered shrimp and grits… I received everything but grits. One of the guests asked our very energetic and over enthusiastic waiter if the chicken wings were whole wings and he told them yes. He was so set on showing us how knowledgeable he was the information needed was not given. I like the Barrel Club and will come again I just think today was just an off day.

The food is always delicious although I do believe the kitchen staff gave us refried French fries this time. Lastly, be sure to ask for fountain water as opposed to the tap water. The difference is substantial. Enjoy!!
