   The food was fabulous but we were disappointed by the lack of service - waitress said they were understaffed. However after sitting outside for over 1/2 hour, we were served our delicious meals but had to go inside to find our waitress talking with 3 other staff members when we needed something. Could’ve been better on a Saturday night…

   Service was extremely slow - over 45 minutes for a burger and a steak meal. Waiter forgot our drink order - one soda and water. Waiter never came back after meal was served and had to find him to ask him for what we needed.

   Food and atmosphere were great. Service was slow and non responsive when we asked for the bill to make a show at PPAC.

   Great brunch menu, lively room, lots of laughter, friendly servers. Perfect pre-show dining for PPAC-weekend-matinee-goers.

   The service was below average. One waiter for the night to handle all tables and they paid little attention to our party. Our food and drinks came out late and majority of the food was burnt. We wanted to grab the check but our waiter was unavailable (waiting on other tables, chatting at the bar, also the host was seen taking shots at the bar). It took what seemed like forever to get out of there.

   The ratings on this place seem inflated. While it wasn't bad, it definitely is not a place is say, hey let's go there again. Butter beer tasted like root beer with whip cream (it was fresh cream, I'll give them that). Super disappointed with the Thai chicken sando. You'd expect a little spicy, maybe a little tangy... but nothing. Completely bland. Chicken was cooked perfectly and was nice and crispy, but the whole thing was just tasteless.

    Been there numerous times over the years and this was the worst. I made reservations and I was told I had to sit at the bar. I explained I asked for a table because I had physical issues and had a hard time with that seating. I was told there were no options. We ordered Trulys and were given lime with no opportunity to choose. We had to ask and was given a lot of attitude for asking for another flavor. Tried to talk to hostess but she was to busy taking selfies to even notice us. We are done with Barnaby’s for a while.

    Overall we really enjoyed our experience and would gladly go back. The only issue was it was quite loud; so much so it was hard to carry on a conversation at the table with people right next to you. Other than that, we loved it.

    Unfortunately our first trip here was terrible, either the waiter forgot to put in our order or the chef forgot to cook it and after asking several people when we would get our food because we were going to a show at PPAC they brought it out five minutes before we were leaving with takeout containers. Very few apologies and the manager never came by, she supposedly comped us but I could not determine what we comped because it was still a big bill. It’s too bad because we were excited to go there and try a new place.

    Never have I ever been to a restaurant where the manager kicked us out of our table after being there less than an hour, because the next reservation was there. It's not like we only ordered water... We were out celebrating! So rude. Will not go back.

    The place is cute, the menu is varied, good vibe. When we sat down (90 mins prior to the start of our show), we let the nice waiter know that we wanted to order everything at once. He was awesome and ready for us. In 10 minutes our three salads, veggie burger, and fried pickles were ordered. We waited, with no check in or anything for 70 minutes. Finally our food arrived, 15 minutes before showtime. The salads were plated upside down…like the cheese, beets, and nuts were stuck to a cold plate and the greens were piled on top. The meat and “bread” (it was a weird, spongy focaccia) was different on each plate: my friend got a 2 ounce piece of salmon and mine was 6 ounces. One person didn’t get any bread…so weird. The appetizer never came with no explanation. We missed the first part of the show waiting for the check, too. To be honest, it seemed like our waiter went out back to get high…his eyes were low and he moved with little to no urgency. There are tons of restaurants around there. Don’t go here.

    We were a group of 5 having an early dinner before seeing a show at PPAC a block away. 2 of us got there quite early and were seated right away. All the food was quite good and the service from Talia was friendly and quick. It was just what we wanted: a tasty meal and excellent service at a moderate price. The only thing we didn't love was the volume the music was cranked up to, which made conversation a challenge. But we were happy with our experience at Barnaby's and would recommend it.

    Disappointed again. We gave this place another chance the first time we went was early on and the drinks were small and way over priced. This time we walk in the door and the host says with attitude. I called you, I thought we were late, I said we were walking. She says your tables over there and sends us off 🤨! We look at the time. It’s only 6:23, our reservation was for 6:30. Then I ask the waitress if the hot honey chicken is boneless , she says yes. I order it, it’s a bone in thigh. So I bring it to the attention of the waitress and she says why you don’t eat chicken with bones. I’m sorry I thought it was boneless. She offered to get me something else but we all know, never send anything back to the kitchen. 18 dollars for 1 boneless thigh over some collards, come one it’s the overpriced drink all over again. Never again

    Went for brunch. Server missed a couple of things we ordered, stopped checking after a while, orders took a long time. No big deal. Regular restaurant stuff. The food was just not very good. I got biscuits and gravy (served almost like soup) and it was so heavily salted I barely got through a quarter of it. Tried the bloodies. They were fine. The place was ripping loud with diners, which is totally cool if that's your scene. Just so you know if it's a first date or something you'll be yelling to hear each other. It's a nice spot. But providence has a banging food and drink scene so I wouldn't waste another look at this place.

    The food was good… great actually. The service, not so much. The hostess was less than pleasant. I seemed to bother her when I gave her my name for my reservation. After we were seated we didn’t see anyone for 10 minutes. We were sat in Siberia and forgotten about; not a great feeling when you’re hungry and about to spend money. I’ll only go back if someone else is paying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    When we arrived , our table was waiting for us ! The server talked us into a couple of drinks that were fantastic … The appetizers were good , my steak was cooked perfectly …The two servers we had , both had great personalities …. I would definitely go again just because the ambience is so relaxed …

    Our daughter came up for a visit from SC. We had only been to Barnaby’s once before and we loved it there! Everything about the place is excellent!! The food is amazing. The wait staff is so friendly and accommodating and the ambience is just so relaxing and comfortable!!! We love going there! This will be our spot any time we’re in Providence and want to have a great evening out! Oh and the music!!!! We just love the place and can’t wait to go back!
