We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately at the last low-top table available. From order to eating, it was 45 minutes, which the owner said in other review responses was the normal turnaround time when they are busy. My brother had the talking turkey, and I enjoyed the barn burger with an up-charge to add mustard. An open setting with a bar, booth, and low-top seating, 8 Craft beers are on tap with many other can and bottle options. Competitive prices. Different food up charges. The restroom is clean. I would return if I were in the area. read more

I lived in the area for the past 5 years and my first time in there I knew it would become my go-to spot. The staff are absolutely incredible and give you shit but will never forget your name. You go in there once a month and they remember everything about you,ask about your life and are some of the best people you will meet! Cathy is an incredible owner, looks out for her staff and runs an exceptional business. The food is all local and amazing, you may pay a bit of a premium but because of the location and the neighborhood vibes it is 100% worth it. Hands down my favorite bar anywhere I've been, and it's sad to have moved away. But seriously stop by, give everyone shit and say it's from me. Amazing establishment and I wish nothing but the best! -Stu read more

Only had chips and salsa, super good! Chips were hot and fresh. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Cute atmosphere, love the barn look!

The food is delicious, the beer selection is good, the service is awesome, the staff is friendly and the prices are good. It is a great place to go for hamburgers, fries, flatbreads and jalapeño poppers. read more

As a strong supporter of small businesses, I was eager to get to this local owned business. Upon walking through the door, 3 staff members were standing behind the bar, at least one of them eating. We were not greeted at all, which was disheartening. Our server arrived, still chewing what she was eating from behind the bar. Not super friendly, but asked us what we would like to drink. Never a mention of anything they had on tap or local brews. My husband got up and went to the bar to see what the choices were. We ordered the homemade jalapeño poppers which were very good. I ordered chicken wings-$13.50 per pound (11 wings) which would have been tolerable had they been fresh wings, maybe grilled?!? Nope the smallest wings I have ever seen and not fresh. They appeared to be the same wings you can buy at the local grocery store, pre cooked and seasoned. Like the "anytizer" brand in the freezer section. My husbands fish looked a lot like the Gortens fisherman's planks. Both of our fries were fried so much that it was like eating fried air, no potato at all in the center. Our server became a little more sociable as it became time for the tip. Reviews have said friendly staff and great food but unfortunately we didn't get to experience either of those qualities during our visit. Not even a friendly goodbye as we exited, passing by our server. They may have good burgers but I surely won't be wasting another $51 to find out! read more

Great food & great atmosphere! The service is always great & they have a lot of food options!

They're not a bar that serves food, they're a great neighborhood eatery that serves alcohol! Their burgers (my fave item there) feature fresh local ingredients from Smith & Sons (fresh never frozen meat) and Cops and Doughnuts (bun!). Oh I could go on and on. read more

My spouse and I tried the Barn Door a couple of weeks ago based on positive online reviews, and we were not disappointed at all. This little bar, in what looks like maybe an old schoolhouse, is pretty modest on the outside but packs a memorable flavor punch on the inside. The bar served a variety of hamburgers -- an unusual but tasty one has Old Bay sauce and provolone ( the sauce is a good dipper for fries too) , sandwiches, wings and entrees. The Cherry Bomb wings are terrific -- a spicy Michigan cherry sauce that has some sweet heat but isn't overwhelming, and also doesn't have a fake cherry flavor like some cherry products. Good sides like onion rings and tots. They offer whiteboard specials and soups of the day. The bar atmosphere is light, bright and very clean. It feels like a pleasant neighborhood hangout, and the times we've been there it's been fairly busy but not overly loud or crowded. Darts seems to be a popular pastime. The bar serves some interesting craft beers in addition to the usual, and the liquor shelves have a more interesting selection than a lot of rural bars -- some regional spirits and better brands. Service was excellent and friendly -- also not a given in some rural areas when new visitors show up. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual, relaxed bar atmosphere but not a dive, and with exceptional food and friendly service. Our one pro tip is to keep and eye out when driving there the first time, because the building is set back slightly from the highway and is easy to miss. read more

A+ service and yummy food! But the jalapeño poppers are hot...just too warn you. They are made fresh, definitely not the typical bar fare food. They take sanitation seriously out front so to me that means a lot for what's going on in the back of house. Definitely worth the visit for atmosphere, friendly smiles (you can still see it in their eyes), and delicious meal. read more

The Barn. Door Restaraunt and staff has provided decades of community support and delicious food. the "claimant" of this yelp page is the jaded neighbor posting highly negative reviews on an effort to damage the decades long reputation of the Barn Door. the images shared are of this individuals business who did not have adequate safe-serve training or serving licensures. this business also questionably caught fire after a go fund me page was set up to save their business. the Barn door provides excellent food and service go check them out!! read more

My wife and I had the smothered chicken and mash potatoes, they were good. The staff was very friendly.

My wife and i stopped by based on the reviews. The homemade jalapeño poppers were outstanding. This is where it ended. The fish and chips are no better than the fish sticks purchased at the local dollar general and fryed or microwaved. My wife ordered wings, anyone who thinks pre-cooked frozen wings that are dropped in hot grease should evaluate their taste buds. The fry's were way over cooked. Disgusting quality, and i wouldn't even attempt to try anything else on the menu. read more

We tried to support them for a few years ordering every other month and the food was just so greasy, the fish fry on Friday was filled with a lot of hot grease which melted the styrofoam box. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was not cooked through and when mentioned to the owner Cathy she basically laughed it off and we never ate there again. read more

Friendly staff. Enjoyed the Togo service and drive up pick up. Appreciated the extra utensils

chicken noodle soup was good but the burgers are dry and unseasoned and it all over wasn't really worth $50 for cups of soup and two burgers. and the server was so busy trying to get us to buy fundraisers things they weren't really listening i think cause a few things and my drink weren't right. read more

(Review transferred from Zomato, formerly Urbanspoon. Original visit October 15th, 2015) My wife has friends that come here a lot so I find myself here more often than I otherwise would. Food, isn't horrible, just average dive bar stuff. Beer selection is tolerable for a place that's in middle-of-nowhere-Bud-Light-country. When B-Dubs remodeled, this place bought all the booths, tables, and seats so they all have the Flying Buffalo logo carved into them, which I find amusing and a little indicative of the mindset. I mean, hey, how hard would it be to have some small pieces of wood with YOUR logo engraved on them whipped up and screwed over the OTHER places logo. This (and the rest of the décor) tells me that, "Eh, ain't nobody got time for trying.", which also shines through in their cooking. read more

Great place! Watch out for Sherri, she breaks all the wine glasses! Check out the tator tots!!!

I don't usually frequent smaller bars off the beaten path but man o man is this place awesome. I use to come here in college when i wanted to get away from the "big city" of Mt. Pleasant and enjoy some local feel. They place a lot of sporting events and have amazing food and service. Make sure to get the chilli and try the hot one just for the experience. It's been awhile since I've been and I have since moved away so please visit this place for me. read more

Love this locally owned bar/restaurant! We go for a burger and to watch sports on tv whenever we are up at our house in lake isabella. Right down the street from the pines golf course. The food is always good and the service is always friendly. We always support the locally owned businesses and recommend them to our friends and neighbors! read more

I had the grilled ham and cheese and it was great. The frips are fried potato chips that are made in house. The décor is cool. The servers were very nice. I'll be back. read more

Waitress was nice and that's about it. We got a combo appetizer sampler, and I'm pretty sure the mini tacos were out of a box and warmed up in a microwave. The chicken wings were just as bad. Bathroom had no soap or paper towels. Ick. read more

The Barn Door is a family oriented business, involved in the community, hosts fundraisers for local families. On top of all of that they serve wonderful food, great beer selection by choosing Michigan craft beer, and the most welcoming people around. I can NOT say enough good things about this establishment, and I would highly recommend anyone to stop in...you will NoT regret it!! read more

A must stop on the way to our friends cabin...It is what it is and if you don't like it simple and comfortable don't bother...Great hot wings, great beer and it's laid back style is what I like...So if your a fan of the big box places and like your drinks fruity along with the distraction of 1000 tv's, skip it so I can always find a stool at the bar to relax in. read more

I found the staff to be extremely nice, but I found the food sadly lacking. Additionally, the place was freezing cold.

Lovely staff. Great service. Very affordable. We're in town visiting grandparents and came back for a second night in a row! The "talking turkey" is a killer sandwich. Great local draft beers. We'll be back!! read more

I make it a habit of going to the Barn Door to eat whenever I get in the area, my favorites are the wet burritos, talking turkey sandwich & of course the frips. The banter back and forth with the staff is always fun. They also have some very interesting craft beers. read more

Our family was in town and found the restaurant online. The reviews were true: good food and nice ambiance. Good service as well.
