I wrote them off long ago! Don’t know what people see in this place.
3 strikes you’re out, I’ve given them plenty of opportunity to right the ship and they have failed each time...service, food, all terrible. I line this place up in comparison with Patrick’s.

Plus their parking needs attention, almost killed a guy who decided it would be a great idea to park his SUV on the white line across the street and open the door as I was driving by... not a good situation.

I take it for what it is. Good pub type food. There burgers and steak sandwiches are really good and their fries are awesome. I also love the bar and they make a good drink.

Service can be slow at times but that as we know has been an ongoing issues in the area with having enough staff. Conversely I do not like Patrick’s. Too each his own.

Cell service can be spotty (Verizons fault as noted) but generally can text and rarely (if ever in the past year) have a problem with wifi.
Food is very good and the atmosphere friendly. If parking is a problem its because they are so busy and attract more customers. Happy to have you not go there so more parking and seats for us

I've always liked it there but it's not at the top of my list of places to eat. And like Canoe, the parking situation suxs. Many times I've driven in and driven right back out at both those places because of the lack of parking.

Love both places but definitely not in the same class for sure. I would never compare them.

I was only comparing the parking situation although Canoe does have someone there directing parking when it's busy. The barn is kind of a free for all.
I saw the owner of the barn one night at Lago's. I've been to the barn a half a dozen times and have never seen him in his own resturant.
