Haven't been here in years. Nothing has changed. Pizza was exactly as I remembered and the French fries were amazing!

Stopped at Barnaby's Family Inn in Arlington Heights. It was just as I remember. We used to have one in Madison Wi when I was younger. So disappointed when it closed. Good pizza!Dietary restrictions: They have a good Gluten Free crust.

Was given the wrong order after an intense craving for some barnabys pizza…Kevin was able to assist me and made things right. Been going to barnabys for years! Their pineapple and pep is too good to pass up

Barnaby's holds a special place in my heart. I've been coming here since I was a toddler. It's always been a place our family would meet at least 3x a year for dinner and other special occasions.Kid-friendliness: They have a few different quarter machines for kids to get little prizes and had a magician performing for them on their birthday, while we ate dinner. Everyone is always so nice, food always good and warm family atmosphere.

We love Barnaby's! The place hasn't really changed in all the years it has been around. I grew up going to the one in Northbrook (actually the best out of all their locations), but this location is good as well. They sometimes do the cornstarch crust and sometimes not. I'd prefer the cornstarch (why you're missing a star). It's a great thin crust and if you ask for it well done, it's a nice crispy thin crust pizza. We always order fries well done as well and they always come out piping hot and perfectly crispy (and I am generally not a fan of well done fries). I like that you can order your drinks at the main register so you're not checking to see how much cash you have on you when you get to the bar area. A pitcher of diet hits the spot along with a cold beer or a Green River (which they have on tap and not in a bottle. Just a great place to go with the family and get a consistently great pizza!

Been living in the area for 4 years now and pass by this place everyday. Decided to stop in yesterday for dinner. Waited 5 min for someone to come and take our order. We were about to walk out because we felt ignored (cooks were standing there talking staring at us) “Bartender” was rude and assumed we wanted a free pitcher of soda when we had payed for it but the cashier never told us a receipt was needed to show him. You would think they would just include it with our food instead of having us go get it. Service was not the best for us being there as first timers. Food was bland.

Omg a trip to my childhood. The pizza taste the same. Love it. Have been missing it. Will be getting it more often as I work. Close by we had a cheese, 2-sausage and 1 pepperoni. The crust and sauce and such a great pair. The flavor just takes me to my youth. And the soccer parties, scout events. We made our own pizza. And family party all enjoyed it and is like we need to get it more if I am in the area. The inside is just as I remember we used to have soccer parties there Girl Scout events there. I can't tell you how many times we were as a kid it was so much fun the staff was super friendly restaurant was clean. It was just a trip down memory lane and the food fantastic. Definitely worth stopping out and drying if you're in the area.

We came in, 3 of us, sat down at 8 o clock. At 8:08, they tell us that they closing at 8:30, we tell no you don’t, you close at 9, they said they only taking carry outs cause is slow. This is ridiculous. You don’t do that. If it says 9, you take orders till that time no matter if you dine in. Really bad service. So if you’re tying to come here, make sure you come in 2 hours before they supposedly close bc they will kick you out.

Order at the counter, get a number, go get food from the counter. Beer and drinks are cash only and are at the walk up bar. Food was just ok. I think a lot of people come get because it is nostalgic for them. Good choice for kids.

Time travel without the DeLorean. Dark wood paneling, Wooden booths worn slick, Cheap red plastic everything, and sticky table plastic. Yup THIS is Americana. Oh, I could tell you (in great detail) about how few toppings they put on the pie for the price they charge but why bore you? I got ripped-off. Theres suckers like me born every minute I tell ya! Talking 3 black olive slices on a large pie capisce? 3! Pequods this ain't. No no THAT pizza really is marvelous. Its also admittedly pricier. Big ticket co$t. Ya see what it IS is America in the mid-70's. This is the America the globalists are now steamrolling over. Getting rid of what we were. When there were men.Men who "read" Playboy magazine and did not tiktok. Now replacement "America" is Kongdog,Ramen,pho, and Sushi. This here is the America that once upon a time was.A pitcher of beer and a pizza for middle Americans that don't know what a good pizza really is. A place to gather after bloodying the goalie. I cant go in Barnabys w/out someone talking to me about America in past tense. "The good ole days." Were they really that good? Probably. Remember how great The A-Team was? 6 Million $ Man!? TV just blows now. Too much agenda and propaganda. Am I right!?! Anyway, I just wish nostalgia came w/ a better cleaning crew. These plastic table coverings are sticky.

Grew up going to this place. 40 years later, the food is still amazing and reasonably priced. Love Barnaby's and this location!
