   The food wasn’t hot, hamburger & hot dog buns were hard. The desserts were good.

   I guess I was expecting more of a semi private dining experience. It was loud and very open. My table was located at the entrance very loud. The food was above average. I had been given a Marriott gift card from my kids. I was told from a different Marriott property that I could use it at this restaurant, only to find out the Lodge is a Marriott property but apparently the restaurant is not. That was disappointing. Would not accept my gift card . Overall not a great experience. My waitress was exceptional though.

   The white bean and kale soup was spectacular! The wedge salad was so so. The dressing was thick with little flavor. My husband has a burger that was very good. Fries were very fresh. Service was attentive.

   This was my first time at Sweet Tea and Barley. My sister and I met there with our husbands. It took us an hour to get there each and it was well worth it. The place was beautiful. The staff were wonderful and the food was delicious. We’ve decided we are going to make this a yearly meeting place.

   Had lunch here with my daughter to celebrate her birthday. The service was relaxed but impeccable, the food served hot and delicious, and the quiet, elegant setting was perfect for conversation. We'll definitely be back!

    It’s part of a hotel. The hostess was not friendly at all, but our waitress was kind. We tried the burgers and fries and they were delicious. Ambiance is not amazing, but it was decent for a quick lunch.
