Ridiculously expensive. Nachos with extra queso and a tiny amount of short rib was $31. Bartender was attentive. For only-off-season dining they need to be more reasonable. Not a strong ADK vibe either.

It was Saturday night so it was busy. The food was so good! The wait staff were very nice and accommodating. The restaurant was a little cold. They have outside seating and apparently is a very popular place, so the door was open a lot! They have a fire pit inside and outside. There was a smores station by the outside fire. They also had a band that night. It was good music but very loud, so if you are trying to talk with others, it's difficult.

they don't answer their phone on days they are supposed to be open. I am a resident of this town and I see no reason to patronize an establishment that doesn't care to answer their phone. Heading to Fredricks.
My friends and I came here for the igloo dining experience and it did not disappoint! Our waiter was extremely attentive and kind and the food was delicious. I loved my salad. The igloo was very cozy and quaint. They also had a complimentary smore station and had a little fire going outside.

Food was awful and ridiculously expensive. Nacho's were just stale chips with cheese sauce and some tomatoes for $16. For 2 people it was $87 and we had 2 entrees 1 appetizer and 1 beer. Would not recommend.

GREAT spot for good food and fun! Had dinner in an igloo in late January and it was awesome. Fast service, delicious food, very warm in that thing for the 2 of us, Andre wasted no time getting us handled throughout even as busy as it was. Everyone was so nice!

Our food came COLD, we notified the waitress who said they could microwave and we passed on it since 5 of us were hungry and we had a toddler hungry too. The manager came and he said “They would TAKE CARE of it”. We even ordered deserts to go, then they brought the check and said they would take only 10% off it. Very disappointing to realize that the Barrel has poor management. Especially because we’re regulars at the BWM restaurant in the summer. It was only our second time at the Barrel, but our last one.

We had dinner reservations for 6pm in one of the "heated" outdoor igloos. That being said, it was super cute, touristy, and nice at face value. But the heat was LACKING on a 12 degree night.... We had 2 heaters in our igloo and they just couldn't keep up. We were shivering eating in there and basically just rushed dinner cause it was just so cold. My boyfriend's ribs came with a lot for only a half rack, but they had very minimal meat.. Clam chowder and adult grilled cheese was super yummy! Would give it another try, just not in the igloo.

The Adult Grilled Cheese is basically the best Patty Melt that's on crunchy, grilled country white instead of rye. One of my favorite burgers ever. If it has swiss and came with au jus, then I'd be even happier.
Also, I can't tell you how amazing the brussel sprouts were. I just wish the took the charred bits from the first roasting off, then put more cheese and balsamic and fired the green/rare hearts of the sprouts a second time. I basically just ate all the bacon, cheesy burnt bits. So good!
Kid-friendliness: Chicken tendies were awesome!

My son and I came in for dinner. He had the chicken bacon ranch Mac with garlic sauce and I had the special, bourbon glazed candied bacon burger. my son LOVED the Mac and wants me to buy the cool cast iron dish it was served in. I forgot to tell my waiter how I wanted the burger, but it came out PERFECT! The homemade potato chips were a good surprise too! Carter was our waiter, and you won't be disappointed if you get him! What a nice, patient, pleasant guy! Definitely coming back for another meal. For 2 of us, the bill was extremely reasonable.
