This place is rustic charm. Converted 1700 farm house I think. Super quaint and cozy around the holiday time, I love the trees and decorations they put up.
We had a reservation on a Sunday for brunch and we were more than 15 min late. They were very nice about it and sat us anyway. It wasn’t too crowded but it did seem like they had a private party upstairs. No one ever came over to us for 20 min and I had to flag someone down. They took our order and then switched the server mid way. Our drinks didn’t come out for 15 min. Very slow service. At least they didn’t rush us, I do prefer sitting and catching up with friends. But would have liked a bit more attentiveness. I also noticed a good runner constantly bringing food to the wrong table and asking tables if it was their food, which is not very professional so they seemed pretty unorganized.
I got the egg nog drink and it was in a cute Santa mug and tasted like I was drinking the holidays. Sweet and creamy, but there were three huge ice cubes that took up too much of the mug.
The cornbread is very dry. I needed to put a lot of butter on it. My friends and my husband liked their food. I really liked my chicken and waffles. The fried egg was a nice touch. Just enough food. And it came out piping hot. Juicy white meat chicken fried perfectly, and the waffle was fluffy and not too sweet. Good tasting maple syrup as well.
My husband’s burrata was delicious, so were the autum deviled eggs. The eggs were a little too sweet but very creamy and good consistency.
A little on the pricier side at $50ish a person for a drink, entree and shared app for brunch.
I would come here again though, nice place to catch up with friends. We had a very nice time! And I like the little lounge sitting area on the side, again just very quaint and homey.

I contacted the venue to arrange our wedding reception, and the person who assisted us was Elisa. She was very attentive, answered all my questions, whether by email or phone, and we were able to schedule a time with her to visit the space we had chosen. We were warmly welcomed and fell in love with the environment and the décor; it was exactly what we needed: a beautiful room to hold our small wedding ceremony and reception.
We organized a cocktail reception for the wedding night, which was selected and reviewed in advance by us and the staff.
On the day itself, everything was flawless. The service was provided exactly as agreed, and all the employees were extremely kind and attentive.
In short: our experience at The Barrow House was incredible from beginning to end!
Bonus: the venue has a photo booth, which made our event even more special.

My wife had a birthday celebration for me this past weekend… it was casual at the high-tops in the bar area. It was a perfect setting.. nice and casual, where everyone could mingle and talk with each other. Very nice bourbon selection, which is probably why my wife chose this place… lots of bourbon lovers in our group.
The staff was great.. very helpful. Only complaint was that they were supposed to space out the 2 shifts of small plates, but instead brought them one after the other. A bit disappointing, but it didn’t ruin our great time!
I definitely recommend it here!

Came for a wedding, and then fell in love with the venue.
The barn was the perfect place for the 17 person event – high ceilings, string lights, big windows and skylights, rustic furniture and lots of hanging flora. Fans and open doors let the fresh air in, and helped make an refreshing environment.
The staff was wonderful. Checked in frequently, answered questions, made sure we were always given the opportunity to try more than enough of all their amazing drinks. Also, on a personal level, I needed a private room for myself for about 20min during the event, and they were quick to close off an entire section of the restaurant for me. Also noticed their bathrooms had legit changing tables (things you never realized until you become a parent), so bonus points for that.
The food was fun. The set menu doesn’t look like too much at first (cornbread, salad, cheeseburger, cookies) but each of the courses had something unexpected to make it taste AMAZING. I’m talking about fresh butter honey, secret aioli sauce, salted chunks. Kept the conversation going back to how surprisingly good the meals were.
Bonus points for their interesting cocktails (Spicy Sonrisa) and apparently “one of the best drink’s I’ve ever had” (Sugar Daddy – according to the whiskey lover at the table). This is one of those places that anyone can easily spend an entire day at.

We had the absolute BEST experience today at The Barrow House, and it was all thanks to Angelica our server! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, funny, and incredibly attentive. She paid attention to every little detail and didn’t make a single mistake with any of our orders (which is rare when you’re with a large group!).
Her energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable, she anticipated what we needed before we even asked and kept us laughing the entire time. It’s clear she truly cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does.
Angelica, you were AMAZING. Thank you for making our visit so memorable. We’ll definitely be back! ♥️

I really enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere was amazing. Eric was fantastic! He provided excellent service from the moment we walked in—warm, welcoming, and attentive without being over the top. He crafted my drinks perfectly, and you could tell he put real care into making them just right. Beyond that, his friendly and hospitable attitude made the whole experience stand out. Baristas like Eric make you want to come back again and again.

Didn’t have food but the Old Fashioned was excellent. The atmosphere is excellent as well. Make sure to take the long way around to the bathroom to get a look at the entire place. Very cozy feel with the couches and fireplaces in some of the rooms. Definitely going back to try the food one of these days.

I had a great meal at the Barrow house. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere- no tvs, good for conversation. The service was very good, but they seemed a little short staffed.

Loved the rustic barn-style decor, it feels so cozy and unique. Cocktails were excellent, food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was super attentive. Everything was top-notch for my first visit – I’ll definitely be coming back!

With a barn-wood façade and porch that bring Cracker Barrel to mind, this establishment welcomes their patrons with a choice of rooms: a frontier-style bar up front; a fancy Victorian parlor; a barn room with a modern atrium roof; a more formal room antlered like a hunt club.
Located off of Van Houten Ave in Clifton, the Barrow House is large (8,000 square feet), with tables comfortably spaced for about 214 seats. The reservation was easily made 2 hours ago via Resy for dinner, and my partner and I are glad we did, as the place was crowded.
Greeted by the host upon arrival after our last visit 2 years ago, the interior vibe creates an instant sense of relaxation and comfort with the Christmas decorations making one feel right at home, and our table was ready in the hunting room with trophies: stuffed turkey, wild boars, pheasants, and deer.
Their menu consists of the standard American fare. For starters, we shared a giant pretzel with grain honey mustard and cheese sauce. For our main, we opted for the fried chicken and fried fish sandwiches. Both accompanied by crispy fries.
Our food was so good, well-balanced with the right levels of flavor and delicious.
The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a wonderful dining experience, especially our server, Enrique. While the prices are slightly higher than average, it was well worth it, which we can continue to recommend.
