Barrel & Boar in Gahanna offers a mixed dining experience, where some find the food amazing while others have had issues with service. The brisket and burnt ends continue to receive high praise, and the BBQ Lunch Box has become a favorite for its flavorful and juicy offerings. The half rack of ribs also tastes very good, and the chicken and waffle gets mentioned positively. Many customers have enjoyed the delicious food, including deviled eggs, mac and cheese, hush puppies, and cornbread, with drinks also earning praise. However, availability can sometimes be an issue, as there have been reports of running out of baked potatoes, despite reservations not being fully busy. Service has occasionally been inconsistent, with some guests experiencing delays or limited attentiveness, especially in the bar area. Despite this, many appreciate the friendly staff, with some staff members providing top-notch service even during busy times. The new owners, Chef Tony and Cynthia, are making great changes, including a new menu and drinks that impress many. The ambiance remains inviting, especially with the fire going and the Creekside fountains in the background. The outdoor seating area adds to the friendly and upbeat atmosphere. Parking might be confusing for first-time visitors, but the free garage with a direct entrance is convenient once familiar. The restaurant remains kid-friendly, offering high chairs, boosters, and a children's menu. Value for money is considered good, particularly for bourbon enthusiasts who enjoy the selection. The 'Wonderful World of Whisky' event on Tuesdays is still recommended for whiskey lovers. Overall, Barrel & Boar Gahanna is evolving, offering a varied experience with some aspects highly praised while others may still need improvement.
