What can I say about Barry's except that I by the time I left, I was filled with regret. When I went to the bar to place my order (Washington St. Burger no tomato no onion), I was told by the waiter/bartender I would have to come back to the bar and check periodically to see if my food was ready. I'm sorry... what. In my mind I consider the circumstances, off season, low staffing, but then I'm reminded it's a Friday night and for comparison the place next door has a live band and plenty if wait staff bustling around. Maybe it's a staffing issue, I've been there, though I have never told a customer they would be a required part of customer service outside of being present in the establishment. Benefit of the doubt given, I sit with my party and wait for my food. I have a couple of beers and converse, when one of our party gets up to check the status of our food and comes back with four meals. My man was true to his word. We had to go and get our food which had been sitting behind the bar for who knows how long. Bite into my burger and immediate regret. Dry, tasteless, and more bread and lettuce than beef. Every kitchen should at least have salt and pepper and I doubt even these were used. This sentiment was felt by others in my party as well (2 other burgers were ordered and the general tso's chicken). The remnants of our meals were boxed back up and deposited in the trash can. I paid my tab and our party left. Wish I could say our trip to Barry's reflected the reviews some have given this establishment, but this was not the case. Do better.

Very yummy food, and great prices. Food was way better than I imagined for the prices. A few vegetarian options which is great and a large variety of options! The staff was very friendly as well.

First place we decided to try for dinner. It was alright I wouldn't say it was great tho. We got burger and they tasted good but not hot from the grill just warm. The fries were alright too. Got a virgin piña colada which of course was good. Anyways the cashier/waitress was very nice and helpful.

The food was disgusting. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala Pasta. It didn't taste like Tikka Masala at all. It was bitter and gross. I was surprised that the dog ate it. My husband had the fish basket, fish blackened. They fried it. It was greasy and gross. We got our meals to go so we didn't know about the screw up until we got home. Never again.
