Wicked Barley Brewing Company

Great food and beers!! However they aren’t great at seating tables and organizing their outdoor service. If you want to have folks hangout then make it first come first serve, if not keep up on the tables and get folks sat, watered and fed.

Not sure what was going on but the server seemed to be having a bad day. I thought it was just me at first but almost everyone at my table mentioned it after we had left. She seemed dismissive and was being short with most of us.

We came in around 2pm so it was pretty dead. Large party of 8+ but no one else was really there maybe 2-3 smaller groups. By 3pm it was our table and one other person at another table. So plenty of servers and staff for how few customers their were.

Initially did not take long to get appetizers and drinks ordered. However after the appetizers and drinks were brought out we didn't see the server again for over half an hour. So In the first hour we saw the server 3 times. Finally got to order food. The kimchi pork fries were great, however my curd burger wasn't great. Was kinda bland overall and burger patty to bun size was way off. The burger patty was fairly large with barely any bun, so by halfway through it's no bun with mostly patty left. So it was making a huge mess. No silverware was brought out which would have been nice for my initial appetizer of the kimchi pork fries.

The first drinks brought out seemed normal sized and everyone's second drink brought out the cups were much smaller sized.

Based on this visit I don't think I'd give it a second chance.

Food was alright. Hard to enjoy it with children running around kicking sand, and dogs and ducks everywhere too. Server was extremely unpleasant, not just having a bad day, but going out of his way to be rude. Drinks were tiny and over priced. Won’t be going back.

For it to be our first time, we were dissatisfied with our food. The bill came up to $82 but the food was cold and the meat on the pork belly sandwich was very hard. The collard greens, which was a side dish was the best thing. The gumbo was cold and a tad burnt, But the waitress was phenomenal. We sent the food back to be warmed up, but it came back the same. If you are going to spend over 50 bucks on a meal, you would expect for it to be hot regardless of the crowd.

Absolutely loved the food. The beverage recommendations were great and the place had a great vibe for a girls day brunch.

Food was very unimpressive. Fries tasted old. Waitress was great. They allow dogs outside and dogs were peeing in the sand seating area where kids were playing.

The outside seating was on old picnic tables with ducks defecating all over. The beer was cool, not cold. The food was mediocre at best. At least the service was great.

the GM Jen was horrible. i saw her on her phone most of the time and she was also picking her nose… i also saw her talking down on the staff like she’s better than them when she was sitting down the entire time. terrible service! if Jen is still there i’m never going back and i’m telling all my friends and family to stay away from this place while she’s still the GM there

We were in this restaurant for the first time. For two years of living in Orange Park we were looking for a place with live music. Excellent beer, delicious food, we took fish, thanks to the chef, very tasty. But unfortunately, that's where the delight ended. We were not able to have a great time, children and dogs, it was not comfortable, maybe after 7 pm they should not allow animals and children? . This is my opinion and don't throw stones at me. Now about the music. The guys played amazingly, but unfortunately the soloist is hard to hear, only drums. Will we come back again? I don't know.

Food and drinks were average. Average place to hang out. They need to make it clear if they are adding a tip automatically to your bill. I didn't realize that the tip was added already and gave 20%. That means I tipped 40%, a total of about $30 for 2 people, for average service. It is very difficult to review your bill because the server is standing over you with a handheld machine. By the time I realized it my card had already been processed. I'm all about tipping but not getting fleeced. Will probably not be returning.

Typical American brewery, the beers are brewed in the same place. There are different types, flavors and textures. I recommend the Dark Lager, excellent in its flavor, color and texture. The dishes offered are exquisite, abundant, with excellent service, fast, friendly, and very professional. There are spaces and a menu for children, it is a place to have a good time. I recommend this site 100%.

We have been going to Wicked barley for 15 years, always a very pleasant experience. Today we went signed in but had to wait for a shady table, so we ordered a beer and sat on white lawn chairs. After an hour we decided to order to go as they people next to us did. We ordered dinner and another beer then a table opened we went to sit there. A waitress came said we had to move someone had a reservation there. There were many other tables by now, so we sat at one, again we had to move. We hadn’t finished our beer or dinner. We were very embarrassed. We left and will never return. Very sad ? people at another table said it’s because you don’t leave a tip with take out. We never even thought of that.
