We had a good experience with family and friend's. Salad bar is really worth it.
Typical Wolf Road crowd - baseball hats and sweatshirts. Need to kick it up a notch and enforce a mild dress code. There are plenty of casual pubs in the area. I'm not going back to places that don't maintain standards. I won't pay those prices.

Whoever was the chef that made my Cajun boneless pork chop on November 16th 2025, may your pillow be cold at night and may you hit every green light and all your dreams come true. It’s a thick cut of meat but yet so juicy and well seasoned. I heated it up this afternoon and it was still just as juicy and savory.

Good food at a good price, excellent service, generous pour, and who doesn’t love a salad bar.

I realize going to a steakhouse and ordering a salad might not be the usual choice, but sometimes it’s the small details that make the difference. Unfortunately, my salad was a bit underwhelming—nothing particularly special about it a under dressed caeser salad
The Bacon beef wellington appetizer, however, was fantastic—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. They really showed why The Barnsider has its reputation for quality steaks.
Service at the bar was disappointing, especially for a Monday night with a mostly empty bar. It was slow and inattentive, which took away from what could have been a much better overall experience.
All in all, great food where it counts, but the service and attention to detail could use some work.

Wow, what a great place. Fantastic steakhouse, great salad bar bread and cheese. All included. The steak was amazing. We got a teriyaki sirloin that was very tender. Yes service was fantastic, impeccable, Adam and Chris were amazing. Talking about knowledgeable, professional, informative, some of the best we have ever had. I'll ask for them again the next time. Highly recommend this location if you want a good steak. Oh, the homemade key lime pie was a killer. A+++

Best salad bar around and the stuffed shrimp can't be beat. My prime rib was a good lean cut but a bit more rare than medium rare.

The food was prepared the way we ordered it. Waitstaff was exceedingly friendly. The salad was delicious. The lettuce was fresh, clean and crunchy. I'll keep coming back.

We went Friday night for my husbands birthday. From the moment we walked in we enjoyed the atmosphere, the pleasant waitress, and the food. Your salad bar was fully stocked and even had 3 Bean salad which is one of my husband's favorite. My husband had a Filet Mignon and I had the baked Scallops. His Filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. My Scallops were cooked perfectly too. To top off his meal they surprised him with a Death By Chocolate dessert.
ThankYou for the Great experience you made my husbands birthday special.
We will definitely be back and recommend you to our friends.

Honestly a disappointment. Waiter chased us down and claimed we did not add any gratuity when we paid when in fact we did. We were in a large group and split the cost so I’m not sure if there was a mix up there but I have NEVER had a waiter be that rude or have the audacity to come after us thinking we didn’t tip. Not sure if this guy was lying or genuinely didn’t think we tipped but again that is extremely unprofessional behavior and people like that have no business working in a service job if all they care about is big tips while providing bare minimum sub par service. Food was mediocre for a very high price. Shrimp Scampi was so overcooked and was not worth the price ($33). Will not be returning to this place ever again and will tell others to avoid this place at all costs.

We didnt make reservations on a busy Saturday night and were able to sit at the bar. The salad bar could use some refreshing but that was the only thing I could comment on that wasnt outstanding. My steak au poivre was cooked perfectly and it had a thick peppery delicious crust!
