Not crowded, but the after church crowd is here in the dining room along with the Bears fans watching at the bar. Bathrooms needed attention (out of soap) barely an hour after opening this morning. Music was kind of loud and did not seem to match the vibe of this place. Still, plenty of families enjoying their lunch and great service. Food was good and prices were fair.

We had a wedding at Red Barrel October 24, 2025 and we have to come here and give them 5 stars for everything. Everything was truly amazing, from food to the friendly staff. Thank you so much! We will definitely plan another event here.

Just hit up Red Barrel for a late afternoon lunch—grabbed their buffalo chicken flatbread and a Caesar salad, plus a couple beers, ran me around $28. Cozy as heck inside, kinda South Side chill vibe with that exposed brick. Server Alexis was friendly and kept the chips and salsa comin’. Food was legit comforting fusion—Italian‑Mexican twist worked perfect. Definitely comin’ back!
