The new owners of Barrel and Boar in Gahanna are making a great place even greater! New menu, new drinks, Chef Tony and Cynthia are amazing and already vested in the community and the people ! Thanks for a little taste of the new menu and cocktails tonight…The Residences of Creekside are so lucky to have you in our basement!

First the food was good; the bad it took almost an hour to get it and it was not a busy night. The manager did provide gift cards for a next visit which was good. But the overall experience was detracted by the long wait.

The food was really good. The service was great. Really good espresso martini. The tables needed to be cleaned off a little
Chantalia
The food was amazing. I had brisket with fries and my husband had the chicken and waffle. The service could have been better. We had to ask for cutlery, had to ask to drink refills twice, ask for ketchup twice and had to ask for the sauces for the brisket.

The food is nothing to brag about. We won't be back

This is a FIND! OMG, I ordered the BBQ Lunch Box at the Barrel & Boar Creekside. Cornbread moist. Slaw is perfectly sweet and creamy, a great balance to the meats and spicy sauces. The brisket is awesome. The ribs also delicious. And to my surprise, their Spicy Chipotle sauce is my favorite, though the Original Smoky is also delicious. Atmosphere here is friendly and upbeat with great service from Sunny! A perfect lunch spot with the creekside park right here to walk this off!

Have eaten here twice now, their brisket, pulled pork, and Mac and cheese is absolutely amazing. The meats had a great bark, smoke ring, and the brisket was so tender and juicy, it literally melted in my mouth! All the employees I've interacted with have been very kind, attentive, and provided great service. If you like BBQ definitely give them a try, you won't regret it! I plan on going back and taking all of my family.

I can't say enough good things about Melissa at Barrel & Boar in Gahanna. Every visit is a pleasure thanks to her exceptional service. She's not just an amazing manager who keeps everything running smoothly, but she's also hands down the best bartender l've encountered. Her drinks are always perfect, and her friendly, professional demeanor makes you feel right at home. Melissa truly elevates the whole experience at Barrel & Boar and is a huge asset to the team. She's a winner in my book!

We chose Barrel and Boar for my son’s rehearsal dinner which took place last Friday night. We’re so glad we did. From start to finish, the process was easy. This was especially important to me since I was planning the rehearsal distance from afar - in Franklin, Tennessee. The interior space is casual and tasteful. Melissa handled all my email inquiries and was prompt with her thorough responses. We had 47 guests who fit perfectly in the back portion of the restaurant which overlooks the patio. The food was outstanding. Everything was delicious. We opted for pulled chicken, brisket, brussels sprouts, and their beautiful goat cheese salad. Melissa kindly worked with us to offer alcoholic beverages within reason. Coryn and Sunni were the servers for our party, and they couldn’t have been more pleasant and accommodating. The whole experience was a relaxed and happy addition to our glorious wedding weekend. Melissa allowed me to set up for the event on Friday at 11am, which was a big help since we had to be back in the area at 4pm for the rehearsal at Gahanna Sanctuary, the wedding venue. I have nothing but positive things to say about Melissa l, Coryn, Sunni, the chefs, and the entire staff at Barrel and Boar. It was a fabulous, turnkey experience, and we even ended up with leftovers to enjoy!
Bathrooms for both the men's and women's was under maintenance repair. Walking up to the main enterence there is a delivery door that made the restaurant seem a little questionable and uninviting (dirty, broke drywall, etc). The inside of the restaurant smelled really good, like smoked meat. The view and outside seating area is really nice. The server didn't check back very often, so refills took awhile. Overall the food was good, but on the pricy side. The brisket had excellent flavor and the pulled pork was decent. Not overly busy for lunch, think there was only a couple other tables.

Mother's Day and they did not make it clear that it was buffet only. Buffet was not good and was over priced

Good food, fair service. Seated in the bar area, there were LOTS of gnats flying around, wonder about cleanliness of the restaurant.
