Reviews
We were a little shocked upon entering Barrel 33 to find most of their business was at the bar. We were able to seat ourselves and had numerous choices of tables. Our server arrived at our table a short time later and inquired about drinks and appetizers. My wife and I passed on the appetizers, but we did order two glasses of the house Pinot Grigio. The pours of the wine were generous as compared to a number of other restaurants we have visited.
My wife ordered the Fish Tacos. She had a choice of either flour or corn tortillas for her shells. The tacos arrived with blacked fish, avocado, cabbage, and a few lines of chipotle lime crema. She couldn’t find the pico de gallo as mentioned on the menu. The tacos were accompanied by a nice portion of chips and salsa. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos. She did mention they were not bad, but she has had better. She did think the salsa which came with the chips was very tasty.
I ordered the two-piece fish sandwich which was stated to be fried cod, but could have been pollock. No deal breaker here if it was pollock. Both are varieties of white, low-fat fish. The two pieces of fish were very large. In fact, I ordered my fish with wheat bread ( had choices of wheat, rye, or white) but, just passed on the bread due to the size of the two pieces of fish. The fish was good, but a little chewy. The order of fish came with a choice of one side. I enjoyed the smoked potato salad and it was the highlight of the meal for me.
All in all the food was good, but not the best we have had. It’s bar food, with good portions, is the best way to describe Barrel 33. We most likely will return to try sometime different on their menu. I need to also mention they have whiskey by the bottle to go. There were a few good bourbons visible in the display case, but a little pricey in my opinion. But, if you are looking for that bottle of Blanton’s bourbon ($155.00) they have it!
Once again, I’m stuck between three or four stars for an establishment. I wish Google would allow for half-stars. Anyway, I’m going with four stars due to the size of the portions and the generous pours of wine.
We watched as each table around us got the most delicious looking plates of fish, chicken, grilled cheese, fries, etc. I was so excited to try their smash burger on a gluten free bun! Not very many restaurants offer a bun I can eat. It did not disappoint!
The burger was delicious and flavorful! Instead of a side, we ordered the “Tavern Tots” appetizer to share. It was fully loaded and saucy. I really liked them! We can’t wait to go back and try a few other options.
Though the venue didn’t leave us feeling the most comfortable, the food definitely made up for it.
Good but I really think those are the best wings I’ve ever had
