Came here because it was highly recommended. My sandwich was kinda dry, Cuban. Also ordered the blackened fish tacos, the fish was soft and soggy. The pulled pork looked good my mom had and the fries were good. They had a transitional Caesar salad.

Miss fired on orders slightly, not a big deal.Coleslaw had too much vinegar... wasn't good... Also, a chicken wrap was ordered with mayo to replace the ranch dressing.The order came out with RANCH DRESSING . Kitchen missed that detail...

A cut above your typical diner / bar food. Lots of interesting items on the menu, all made fresh to order. Friendly service, cool old building. We are happy we stopped in.

Just gotta say I get when things are busy things are busy . I've been here before and it's always a little up and down when it comes to service. What I mean is it's never seemed like fire barn has ever hit on all cylinders when it it comes to staff and staff efficiency.? Food I will say has always been great and never a complaint so please don't take this review as anything towards the quality of their food, it's great . But guys you gotta get your staff situation handled .... I came in tonight with my wife, sat at the bar, ordered a drink and sat there with our menus closed and ready to order for over 25 minutes! Not one acknowledgment to us about an apology for being to busy or "we'll be with you shortly"? Nothing! Being from the service industry we are always taught to read the room and acknowledge our customers. The restaurant was in my opinion 50% occupied and staff was flying everywhere. Just not flying by me and my wife. Again, I get it when your busy your busy but again this has been the only thing I've noticed over the years.... Staff is slow.... Either way so everyone knows I'm not going out of my way to pick on fire barn, I would just like all to know that at the 25 min Mark where my wife and I had our delicious dinners picked, our daughter at homes dinner picked. Our excitement after a long day of work and the treat to go out and actually pay for someone to make us this incredible dinner that according to the menu looked OUTSTANDING! I had to turn to my wife and say "were not waiting anymore"! I walked over to another establishment who had an ATM (fire barn did not have one) To take out $ and to pay for the 1 drink I had which was $7.06 . I gave them exactly $7.06 cash and we left. Also note that while I was gone chasing $ for about 10 min no one and I mean NO ONE ever walked over to my wife and asked if we were ready to order or offer to fill our empty drinks.. All in all a good 35 minutes were spent at fire barn just sitting and looking at an empty drink. So.... In conclusion , my review is to the owner of fire barn. Your food is AWESOME! your restaurant is AWESOME! but you need to get a handle on your staff and how they handle a dinner rush, period. I would have spent over $100 on dinner for 2 tonight. I would have tipped your staff generously as I always do And I would have gone home after a long day with some leftovers.... Instead I went across the street to your competitors and enjoyed a great meal served to me by people who knew I was there.. Hope you can straighten it out.

If it wasn’t for Mariah being an excellent server and noticing us waiting without being acknowledged for at least 10 minutes after arriving and going out of her way to ask if we’d been helped (it wasn’t her table) and immediately helping us even though she was busy herself, we would have walked out. We have had this experience before, not even being acknowledged and the service being extremely slow and inattentive, so we usually avoid coming here. We enjoy the food and love supporting local, so we thought we’d give it another shot. After sitting for 10 minutes we said, “let’s go” and I intended to leave a review on the extremely terrible service, but instead, Mariah, saved us from walking out. She was extremely attentive and went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. Thank you Mariah! You’re amazing and the FireBarn is lucky to have you!

First time visiting and it was great. 4.5 stars overall. We had grilled chicken sandwich, cauliflower cheddar soup, beer cheese fondue, the Durand sandwich, fries and a Ceasar salad. The fondue was awesome and the sandwiches were good. Our only issue was the salad as the dressing wasn't good but they took it off our bill. Staff was friendly and the prices were pretty good. We look forward to trying out the rest of the menu.

This was a nice little joint we came for family dinner on a Thursday night. Only a few tables were occupied and we had some suspicions but the service was great, the food was delicious and overall a solid price for a family of 4. I ordered the chicken Caesar which I didn’t enjoy just because I thought it had too much anchovy juice, but everyone else’s food was good. Would recommend the Durand sandwich!

Went in for dinner. Place was empty. Sat down at a table and was never greeted or given a menu. Probably why the place was empty.

Great tasteful food. Always 4-5 deserts daily. Specialty drinks around holidays very tasty. Never had a bad meal. Spinach/artichoke dip served in bread bowl with tortilla chips and soft bread bites, to die for!!! I love the atmosphere and it feels homey. Staff very attentive and nice. Wished I lived closer.Dietary restrictions: I've had the Durand sandwich x 2. Soup is great also. I have no complaints

There are not enough servers for the business they had when I was there. Nobody to answer the phone and we had to wait about 15 minutes for a server to even speak to us..

This was our first time dining at The Fire Barn and we will definitely be coming back! Would highly recommend the Beer Cheese Foundue and Sweet Chili Boneless Wings for appetizers. My husband liked his Bourbon BBQ Bacon Burger and my Ribeye Steak Sandwhich was very tender! The Twice Baked Potato was excellent! Our server was new, and we had good service and recieved our food in a timely manner.
