Walked in this place Saturday morning , wasn’t sure if they were open so asked the man working behind the counter if they were indeed open
..he responded with “was the door open? Is someone on the bar eating? Am I yelling at you?” Super akward 
 (One customer eating that was conversating with the worker)
.no menu , no information about food or prices. I ask for a menu he responded no menu what do you want? How do I know what I want if I don’t know what they offer. He responded with the meats they offer and asked what meat I want 
..again don’t know pricing. Don’t know what kind of breads
..went in this place with the anticipation of ordering for myself and my girlfriend who was not there - walked out confused what they even offer. I assume it may be their off season and they may be closing soon? Very confused and unprofessional experience. Can’t comment on the food because I don’t know the style sandwich or quality.

Walked in around 5ish after a long day of hiking with my husband just hoping to get some good sandwiches based on the reviews. The bartender asked if we had reservations because it’s Saturday night, something about how we can wait outside in the cold for him to call us in. All the tables were empty
during off season and hardly anyone around on Main Street. So weird and petty.

I had a terrible experience at Barley Sandwich. The bartender was clearly intoxicated, which made the situation even worse. Not only was he rude and unprofessional, but his behavior was completely inappropriate for someone in his position. It’s disappointing to see this kind of service when you’re just trying to enjoy a night out. I won’t be coming back and definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a respectful and enjoyable atmosphere.

If you ever find yourself in Lake Saranac, do yourself a favor and stop here. No menu, but none needed. Sandwich was the best I had ever had. Owner (Matt) was easy going and friendly, easy to talk to while sitting to eat.

If you’re looking for a very real, authentic experience, stop in and ask Matt (the owner) what he’s making that day. There is no set menu, and Matt will most certainly let you know that’s all he has for that day ?.

The food is fantastic, and you can tell he has a passion for his craft and shop.

Eat in and shoot the sh*t with him while you’re there, Matt’s a super cool, very straightforward yet cool dude!

9/5 would highly recommend!

So Matt who runs this place is areal character 
 but don’t take him the wrong way !
He has no menu .. he makes it up as he goes .. and he is very direct , so when you walk in and he just says I only have chicken left , don’t be scared , just roll with it and let him make you something amazing to eat .

Prices ? There are no prices 
 lol but you will love the value and the food , trust me !

If you’re a sensitive soul , it might now be for you 
 but if you’re ready when you go in and have never been before , try it ! I guarantee you will enjoy it , and have a great lunch !

Bagels are coming Matt!

Dietary restrictions: Matt will ask if you have any before he starts so just let him know what you don’t like or have an allergy for 
 drinks are in the fridge - help yourself !

Popped in here with my family while driving through Saranac Lake. No menu posted, just the question “do you want turkey, fish, or some Italian thing?” We were NOT disappointed - the sandwiches were fantastic & the conversation was entertaining. Definitely not your average sandwich shop, but worth the trip! We’ll definitely be back!

The sandwiches are spectacular, great bread, great ingredients and perfectly located. The owner is the man. Says it like it is. If you're looking for candy coated fake compliments about your clothes and you're menu choices, this ain't it. He speaks the truth and is a stand-up dude. Go there for the food and straight talking, no BS.
