Pretzel

“You don't think much of it when you first arrive but the brewery almost comes alive as you walk in. The environment is every bit of the German livelynsss and the staff are friendly, greeting you at the front eager to tell you of the tales of the bar and how popcorn and pretzels are complementary. I haven't been to many breweries where every beer in a flight were actually good, but I was pleasantly surprised on how good their Oktoberfest beers and there everyday options were. Would without a doubt recommend to visit at least once.“

“Paid $80 for an uber eats order of wings and fish and chips. Ordered extra blue cheese and extra tarter sauce. Both things central to our meal...didn't get any sauce. This is extremely annoying and frankly I'm absolutely sick and tired of basic things like this getting missed on orders. The meal is literally ruined over something so minor...do better.

Edit. While I'm keeping the above message intact, the original "service" 1 star review really was an angry culmination of repeated order delivery errors from a multitude of resturants, not just Barelys. In fact, we still ate our meal the next day (with newly acquired sauces) and I have to admit the food was awesome. Additionally, we received a very friendly and prompt response from Jason the GM who graciously accepted the feedback and pledged to spread my frustration, so it's only right to update the service to 5. Mistakes happen, and yes I was angry, but their immediate and professional response deserves a rescore. We will be giving Barleys another go and I'm confident my future review with be 5 stars across the board, from the start.“

“the service was very good and the steak tritip with chicken was tender and very tasty. However, the mixed vegetables were overcooked and the portion was small. I complained to the server and was told that they were crispy because the veggies are cooked in the pizza oven. I was at the Tuttle location in Columbus Ohio today at 6:50PM.“

“The only downside is that this restaurant is seriously noisy during the busy times.

The food is good and interesting. There's a lot on the menu I don't see every day. The salads are good. The salmon is great. The potato salad and onion rings are excellent. The house beers are very good. I do not recommend the half chicken, it's very plain. The price is very good for the quality and quantity of food I get.

I eat here regularly and the staff are friendly and personable. They remember me and always make me feel welcome. Turnover is very low.

Other than the noise, the only other issue is that parking close is sometimes hard to do. I've always been able to find a spot, but sometimes it's a trek.

The decor is nice and unique. The gift shop has some fun things in it.

I've taken friends out to eat here and it's been a good time. It's a place to take some time and relax. It's not a place to go if you are in a hurry and simply looking for quick bite.“

“We recently hosted a corporate event at Hickory Room at Wolf's Ridge Brewing, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Haley was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the planning process, it was a real pleasure working with her.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Jen, who was our lead onsite. One of our team members even said she was “one of the best leads they’ve ever worked with,” and I couldn’t agree more. She was professional, proactive, kind, and made everything run seamlessly.

We’re looking forward to hopefully working with this amazing team again in the future!“
