We were drawn to the barn kitchen and bar because it had clearly marked gluten-free entrees and as well appeared to be high quality restaurant. The wait staff were very familiar with gluten-free needs and they also had an allergist food sensitivity specialist on staff that talked to us. The food came out as quickly as we needed. I had the parsnip soup as an appetizer and my wife had the arugula salad. Both were very tasty and fresh. For entrees I had the coconut vegetable curry stew. My wife had the Alfredo shrimp with gluten-free pasta. She claims it was some of the best pasta that was gluten free. Both had exquisitely good sauces and we’re very tasty. They had a very good gluten-free brownie with ice cream for dessert. We should mention that the host was also accommodating and concerned about all of our needs and pleasantries. Lastly they’re negroni is good if you like a sweet negroni.

After reviewing the menu we decided Brunch was the way to go. We split the Crab Cake as an appetizer which was incredibly delicious. It came with a grilled asparagus and a spicy aïoli. Fantastic! Then we each had a Burger, and I had Truffle fries. The service was great. Our cushioned seats were great, by the windows.

Another bad experience at the barn– 3rd time I ordered something and the plate was filled to the brim with butter/oil. I ordered the salmon last night and I was automatically disappointed with the very small portion size. I was given a small piece of salmon with two broccoli florets on a bed of risotto. The risotto was so, so oily to say the least and when I mentioned it to the waitress I wasn’t given an option to take it back or offered a discount for the unpleasant meal. Similar experience when I ordered their simple scrambled eggs with toast and potatoes (loaded with butter) and not offered anything for the inconvenience. I asked for a separate plate so I could quite literally pour the oil from my bowl and avoid eating it. Paying $29 plus tax and tip for such a mid meal is so disappointing. And lastly, as you can see from the photos, the leftover oil on the table from the bowl just to give an idea.

A very mixed experience, but still 5 stars. The fish and chips was not good: too salty, too oily, the chips didn’t really feel like chips, and the coleslaw didn’t taste like coleslaw.

That said, the hummus was the best we’ve ever had outside Israel, and the risotto was exceptional — honestly the best we’ve had, even compared to Italy. Service and beverages were excellent, which more than made up for the disappointment. Strongly recommended (just skip fish and chips).

So, my boyfriend and I first ate here for dinner than i returned in the morning for breakfast.
This restaurant is part of The Williams Inn and excellent pairing as well. The barn meets American rustic design was perfect in this countryside area of Massachusetts. Our server, Diane was knowledgeable about the menu and all cocktails! We appreciated her suggestions and took went with a cauliflower appetizer (amazing) and a pasta dish. She was very attentive to us.
For breakfast, Kimmy was welcoming, jovial and mentioned me trying the French toast before even walking into the entrance. She knew I was starving:). I got to sit in the back this time and look out the long windows into the yard. Beautiful. Both Kimmey and Virginia were attending me and cheerful. It is a pleasure to be around this attitude. I did have the French toast and have to say that the coffee here is delicious.
The outdoor seating is just as abundant as indoor seating and wraps around entire restaurant. There is an attractive fire stone put with plenty of rocking chairs around. So we enjoyed this area after dinner the night before. This is a great place to dine!

The barn wants points for ambiance and great overall atmosphere. The tables were well spread apart and staff checked in from a respectful distance. The menus are clearly labelled and they offer vegetarian and vegan dishes. The appetizers were exceptional. We recommend the brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and calamari (be prepared that they all have a lot of flavor and a bit of spice). The main courses were decent, but the beyond burger was a bit overcooked for me. All in all, solid experience.

The waiter had a cold attitude and seemed tired. Pita came out burnt, but received a fresh serving promptly after notifying the server. The short rib was tough and its jus was very oily. The ‘peach gastrique’ on the pork chop was off and did not pair well with the meat at all. It was a very busy night, so they were possibly overwhelmed.

I Came Back to The Barn Kitchen and Bar Like a Food Critic with Amnesia!

What’s that saying about doing the same thing and expecting different results? Well, call me the Einstein of bad dining decisions, because I returned to The Barn Kitchen and Bar for takeout after a dismal dine-in experience a month ago! This time, I ordered the Tuscan thighs, hoping for a culinary glow-up, but instead, I got a meal that made me wonder if I accidentally stumbled into a barn rather than a kitchen.

The presentation was an absolute travesty, screaming a complete lack of care from the get-go. The Tuscan thighs arrived in a foil container that looked like it had been rummaged through by a hungry raccoon. The chicken was haphazardly piled, with pieces unevenly cooked and sagging in a puddle of unappetizing grease. A wilted lemon slice sat limply in the corner, drowning in some murky sauce, while the supposed garnishes—shredded cheese and a scattering of what might have been herbs—were tossed on with all the precision of a blindfolded chef. Parts of the dish were bare, as if the kitchen staff gave up halfway through plating, leaving it looking more like a forgotten leftovers tray than a meal.

The cooking was just as abysmal. The chicken was a disaster—some pieces were dry and overcooked to a tough, leathery texture, while others retained a pinkish hue near the bone, raising serious questions about food safety. The “Tuscan” seasoning, which I expected to deliver a burst of herbs, garlic, and citrus, was virtually nonexistent, replaced by an overwhelming saltiness and a faint hint of generic Italian seasoning from a packet. The cheese on top had congealed into a rubbery, clumpy mess by the time I opened the container, adding an unpleasant texture that felt like an afterthought. The lemon slice, intended to brighten the dish, was so dried out it might as well have been a decoration from a previous meal.

At $16, this meal was a blatant overcharge for the sheer lack of effort and quality. I’ve had better chicken thighs from a gas station rotisserie at half the price. My previous dine-in experience was already soured by rude staff who complained about tips in the restroom and suggested we shouldn’t eat out if we couldn’t tip more, and this takeout order only cemented the impression of a place that doesn’t care. The apathy I felt in person seems to have infected the kitchen, where this dish was clearly thrown together with zero regard for the customer.

I had hoped takeout might redeem The Barn Kitchen and Bar, but the Tuscan Thighs were a catastrophe. From the sloppy, careless presentation to the poorly cooked chicken and questionable flavors, this meal was a waste of money. I hope management takes action to improve food quality and staff training, because right now, The Barn Kitchen and Bar is a dining experience I’d rather avoid—whether in-person or to-go.
