i’ve visited Barley & Board quite a number of times. i love the interior design.. it’s a blend of rustic & modern.
their menu is constantly changing about every month or so to explore & experiment with new flavors. that’s what makes this place so unique. they also have a personal chef in house who helps guests customize or prepare their dishes to make the guest comfortable & happy with what they are eating!! for me i love avocado + extra veggies so they tend to add avocado + veggies to any of my dishes!! desserts are always so amazing & any food you get is lovely!! i love that all dishes have a blend & fusion of flavors. it’s an amazing experience every time i come here. the ambiance is perfect, especially if you’re wanting to dine alone. i highly recommend you visit this place & try something you’ve never had before!!

Service was great! We both enjoyed the Refresher drinks (sorry forgot to take pic of menu). Atmosphere was relaxing. $18 Burger was greasy and lacked seasoning. One of the managers brought us spicy nuts and asked us how the food was and appreciated our honesty regarding the burger he recommended the chicken sandwich. The $17 chicken sandwich was the better choice. For me, one half was seasoned and cooked well, the other half was a bit tough. For the price, I expected more. Overall, disappointed because we came here because my friend enjoyed the burger when we here last time; over a year ago.

Lovely atmosphere and the food was good but not great. The board I received had dried out meat and poor pickled items that were bland. Although we appreciated the waiter checking on us, he interrupted four times in a conversation without any consideration for the flow of the interaction. Not the best service and annoying.

We absolutely love the food and atmosphere at Barley & Board, however, the bar staff is terrible. This is based of many visits with different bartenders, yet had the same service across the board. Ultimately, you feel like you are bothering them. A good bartender works with their head up, constantly scanning and anticipating their guests needs. This last visit we received our food, I tried for ten minutes to get a bartenders attention for some hot sauce. No luck, finally just flagged down a server who happily brought it to me. We ate with empty drinks, never approached for a second round. Then sat with empty plates stacked in front of us and was brought the check, again, never offered a second round. So we just paid and left. I write this review as a heads up to the owner, poor service is not only a bad reflection on the establishment but a massive loss for the house financially. I hope that this inspires them to do better.
(There were two bartender working, we were two of seven total people sitting at the bar and the restaurant was not overwhelmingly busy).
On a positive note, the kitchen never misses. The menu is stellar and I am yet to have a dish that isn’t 100% satisfying. Pictured: Chicken & Waffles from the brunch menu.

Overall a really great place in Denton. The space is so well done. The staff is nice and the food is good.
(June 2024) went on a Sunday around lunch/brunch time. They don’t do a specific brunch menu but they have a great burger on the menu and they happily obliged when I asked if they could put a fried egg on top. Highly recommend the burger!
(April 2024) Went recently after their menu change and enjoyed everything we tried. Just one of those dinners where I left bloated for quite a while and my hands got really puffy which just tells me there was a lot of salt, etc. but enjoyed it nonetheless, I just cook at home a lot and can be sensitive to how food is cooked out (what salt and oils, etc they use). The average person I’m sure wouldn’t notice. But for me, that’s the only downside to my visit.
Tried the mushroom barley soup – was good, a bit salty … I would’ve preferred a higher mushroom to barley ratio (it was more barley than mushroom) but good flavor. The rye bread crostini with crème fraiche it came with was really good!
Split a salad and sandwich. Would definitely be back for the ensalada cesar. Great flavor, light and fresh. Came with Romain, corn, avocado, cornbread croutons, cotija cheese, pickled Fresno chiles, and a cilantro Caesar dressing. Also got the Texan sandwich (pastrami, chopped brisket, pickles, pimento cheese with chips). Really good! Thought the ratio of bread to ingredients inside the sandwich was good. Filled me up fast … the half a sandwich was plenty for me! Good homemade chips.
Also enjoyed the tequila smash. I like their menu of smash cocktails, simple but good and a good price.

We go about once a year for a special occasion. It’s pricy, but a great restaurant! The food is always delicious! The atmosphere is really nice! The mixed drinks are always delicious!! Definitely try their specialty drinks!!! The menu changed and there’s a whole new selection to choose from.

The downtown restaurant boasts a fantastic location, accompanied by a friendly and attentive staff. The service is excellent, and the food is top-notch. The impressive array of delicious beers adds to the dining experience. The cleanliness of the restaurant and well-maintained restrooms contribute to a positive atmosphere. Its prime downtown location is ideal for both sightseeing and shopping.

This is a gem in downtown Denton. A chill atmosphere/vibe with a creative selection of food and drink items. The fried mushroom app and potato appetizers are good. The sausage board was large and tasty. The fried chocked sandwich on milk bread with kimchi was different. I would visit again.

From the first minute we spoke to our server Mike we knew this was going to be an amazing experience. Mike was immediately knowledgeable on drinks. He then gave very good food recommendations. I chose the Cuban sandwich, being from Florida, Mike wanted to see how they stack up to the original Cuban sandwich. My Girl friend ordered the Pastrami sandwich.
Neither choice disappointed!
The Cuban was amazing full of flavor a real treat, it comes with a dipping sauce, as I recall the original ones don’t come with, no need for it.
The pastrami was amazing also, it comes on a herb bread, unfortunately the bread overpowers the amazing meat, to make
This the best version it can be a nice marbled rye would complement the great taste of the meat!
I would still recommend both with the nod to the Cuban. I really think Mike may have been the best server I’ve had ever!
This is a must visit location

We arrived at 1:00 p.m. and the service was extremely slow. It was almost 30 minutes before we finally got our beverages and we’re even waited on after being seated. We ordered appetizers and they came out right at 2:00 p.m. an hour after we had sat down. Our food came out about 20 minutes after that and we had finally completed our meal at 3:00 p.m. Our server was not very attentive and seemed as if she was new. Our adult kids come here frequently and love it and said that this is the first time it’s ever been slow and service was not up to par. We had to request multiple times for refills on our beverages as well as getting our tickets so we could check out. We had ordered the rib plate and the meat was so tough and disappointing, and our son-in-law said it has never been that bad before, they’re normally tender and falling off the bone. We had ordered alcoholic beverages near the start and received those, near the end of our meal we order more, but they never came and we just told them to forget it. For a bill that was close to $100 for two people for lunch, and the other couples was over $100, it was not worth it and was very disappointing for the overall experience. As you can tell by my pictures they were also not very busy, so in my opinion there was no excuse for the bad service.
