My new favorite place. Everything we’ve ordered so far has been amazing!!!

Cool looking place with a big bar and a very Louisiana vibe. But on our visit, that’s where the good times stopped rolling. Service was just ok…present at times but just not there most of the time. Beers were good. Crawfish mac was AMAZING!!! But gumbo had a burnt, thick roux that was loaded with salt. Not even edible. It was taken off our ticket but nobody offered any sort of replacement. All in all I wouldn’t go back.

I visited the Spoke and Barrel on Sunday for brunch. I ordered a side of roasted vegetables, which were literally the most delicious vegetables I have ever eaten in my life! I also ordered the crab salad, which was absolutely incredible!! It was loaded with jumbo lump crab meat and full of flavor…more food than I could eat!!

Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating when I needed my vegetables roasted without butter. They offered olive oil, which was a great substitute.

Steak was barely warm, fish was over cooked. Every beer that was chosen was out. It’s very loud and Ochos a lot. Unfortunately will probably not return. Very disappointed.

Food was excellent.
Service staff was too cool to provide any type of food service. After getting a tea was not even offered water or a refill. Food was dropped off at the table and from that point on not a word was spoken. Completely forgotten about, I had to ask another member of the staff for a box and still was not asked how my meal was or if I would like anything else, and wasn’t presented a check. So after about 10 minutes of sitting and waiting for someone to come by I left more than enough to cover my bill and tip and left. By far the worst service experience I’ve had in mandeville. I wouldn’t expect to have better service at the Wendy’s drive threw than a full service restaurant in the heart of old mandeville.

Flavor, portions,service, and price were good. But my food was barely warm. My friends food was warmer but still not hot. Dani, our server, was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was good. Bathrooms clean. The place was pretty empty, so I was surprised the food was so cold.
They got a little more traffic just before 1 pm. No where near busy.

Parking: Ample parking

We had such a fabulous time for our pup meet up. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. It was steak night and the ribeye was on point. All in all, it was an amazing time for all of the guests and their pups!

Receptionist seated us at a table that needed to be wiped down. I had to ask her to clean it. We had two ladies come to greet us. One brought our drinks and took our food order. A guy brought the food out. We were almost done with our meal when one of the ladies came to check on us. I didn’t get a refill of tea that I needed.
Food was okay but nothing special. The restaurant was not busy for a Friday night. Probably will not eat there again. Unfortunate because we live within walking distance.

We have ordered several times. Brussels sprouts, chips, burgers and chicken and salads are all delicious. There’s something special about house made chips. Reminds me of my grandfather’s homemade chips ❤️

The hostess seemed like she didn't want to be there. She was rude and very unhappy. I didn't want that to spoil my evening. My waiter was great! The food was amazing! Our appetizer was the crawfish truffle pasta. That was very yummy and very rich. For my entree I got the crab salad. It was so good and so filling! For dessert I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding. It did NOT disappoint! We will definitely be back!

Dietary restrictions: I was easily able to find gluten free options.

Kid-friendliness: There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant, but there are booths and tables that are set up away from the bar. There is a changing table in the women's bathroom.

I sat at the bar when they were absolutely dead and got one drink in 10 minutes! Horrible service!

We have over 100 restaurants on our Pet Friendly Northshore list. We have probably eaten at well over 80 of them, and while there are so many that we adore, we have only eaten at one that we can both say was the absolute BEST dining experience ever.

To say the food was incredible was an understatement. The steak was among the finest I have ever had, cooked to perfection and the flavoring was mouth watering. We happened to come on Steak Night (Thursday nights!), and I dare you to find a better steak for the price anywhere!

The gumbo! Spoke & Barrel has won the award of Best Gumbo on the Northshore as awarded by Taylor who is an infamous GumboSnob.

The Fettucine Fra Diavolo was delicious, with just enough kick to make it stand out, but you weren't needing to gulp down your beer.

Speaking of beer, I LOVE restaurants that have wide assortments of local breweries on hand. The rotating cycle of beers definitely keeps it interesting, and I really loved the Lemon Buffer from #AgileBrewing.

Rupert gave his PupperSteak four paws up with a little drool!

Cheesecake...I'm normally not a huge fan, but Taylor is, and so we order cheesecake. I wish I remembered exactly what kind it was, not quite lemon, not quite orange. It had a unique and refreshing taste and I would definitely have it again!

But I have to save the best of the food for last, and that is the Crawfish Truffle Mac & Cheese. It was beyond good. It was like little Southern Angels came down and created the absolute masterpiece of a Southern appetizer. A straight 12/10!

The location is beautiful, nestled near the Mandeville Lakefront with plenty of parking and a beautiful lighted pergola to sit under.

We saw dogs! We met Bailey and Lupe and it was so cool to see other dogs out and about!

The absolute clincher to our night goes to the one and only Gabbyie!!!! Talk about a personality that makes you feel welcome! We laughed, we talked dogs, we talked snakes, we even met her Mom! I got her schedule because 50% of the reason we would go back is for her! It was an amazing experience and after this very rough week, we left with giant smiles, full bellies, and plans for future visits.

Spoke & Barrel, I'm sorry we slept on you all for so long. Y'all were simply amazing and we cannot say enough good things about the entire visit!
