We were trying to decide where to go for lunch and I said I feel like a really good pizza. My wife said, "guess we're going to Barnaby's today. 128 miles later (about 70-80 miles less than going to a Chicago area location or other great Chicago pizza place) we walked in to Barnaby's and placed our order. Nothing at all (except perhaps remodeled bathrooms) has changed at this (and probably all Barnaby locations) since I started enjoying their pizza in the early 1970's. You still order at the counter, get your drinks or soda at the bar and wait until your number is called. Our pizza was once again masterfully prepared and reminded me why I am willing to drive so far for good pizza. Wonderful crust, great sauce and perfect ingredients. We purposely left a few pieces so we could snack tonight. This is a perfect Chicago run without going to Chicago. A mile or so up the road is a Portillo's where we also stopped and bought a few pounds of Italian Beef so we won't be without this winter. But once again, this review is about Barnaby's. Totally impressed and thrilled at the same time that a place like this can maintain its consistence and excellence for well over 50 years.

Amazing as always just as I remember from my entire life. Best root beer so good so good. Love the pizza, sandwiches, fry's too. Service with a smile

So, really Barnaby's is a 2-star joint. But it's such a mainstay of the area and has so much atmosphere, I can't give it less than 4. The pizza is simple, but awesome. The staff expect you to know the secret South Bend ways on instinct, so be prepared to fumble around and have them giving you WTF looks the whole time. It's worth it for the experience, though.

Nasty hard bread sticks that are 1.75 EACH!!!! Canned cheese that tastes like plastic. Canned Parmesan cheese.

WHAT A TOTAL NIGHTMARE OF A MESS!!!!! The restaurant is an absolute disaster! Nasty & dirty. You order your food and pay the RUDE cashier at the 2nd window. They was you receive the food is horrendous! Pizza comes out the first window on the far right. Anything that's not pizza comes from the 3rd window on the left. Then drinks you have to order at the bar - paying separately! What a cluster of a nightmare! Food is VERY EXPENSIVE!!!! Drinks, wow!!! Total rip off. 7.00 for a pitcher of pop, 4.00 for a glass?! Ridiculous. Ah, and the cashier at the bar expected tips when we ordered pop. She pointed at the tip jar everytime someone ordered pop. Don't waste your time on this dark, dingy nasty place!! It's so gross. I ended up getting food poisoning from this place.

Sausage and mushroom pizza with copious amounts of fresh red pepper, and Parmesan

Our favorite pizza in South Bend. Consistent reliable delicious. Always the same just as it's been since we were kids love that can never go wrong with the pizza from Barnabys

Inside of my onion ring... it's the part of the onion on the outside that you are suppose to PEEL OFF AND DISGARD.

This is the most underrated restaurant I've been to in a long time! The food was so delicious, and…read morelooked so amazing, there was no time to take any photographs. I literally just devoured everything that came before me. The dessert menu was to die for. They have literally something for everyone. I actually recommend you get dessert first! I failed to do that my first go around. I don't have any room for dessert. The portions are so large and filling! I recommend to start with an appetizer, I had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp or jumbo, juicy, the bread, toasted and crispy, the sauce was amazing, if you like spicy try it spicy. The service was so phenomenal. Audrey in particular was so friendly, I met another gentleman who worked for the establishment and we had an amazing conversation. I don't know his name, but he was cheerful carefree and had a fun, loving personality. This restaurant is beautifully decorated. All things being fair, the only negative I have about the restaurant is that the beer selection is absolutely horrendous! But they're not a brewery. So I get it because the wine selection was absolutely phenomenal. Try the 14 hands. Such a smooth Cabernet. I don't know who or what happened that this restaurant is only rated 3.2 stars in general, but this is a five star restaurant with incredibly affordable prices! Whenever I travel to this area from now on, I will definitely stop by here!

The wife and I tried this joint when we first moved up here. She remembered it from her childhood…read moreI was the first timer. Overall when you walk in you get the feeling that this place is family and only family working and running it. The ambiance is family pictures with a few of the classic old world Italy pictures. And it looks like this place has been around for years, which according to the wife it has been since she can remember (I am sure the date it opened is in the description but I didn't look). The entrees lacked the traditional garlic flavor that I expect at an Italian joint, maybe their form of Italian is inspired for a different region than I am used to, but I don't know. I had the chicken parm, the chicken was cooked well the spaghetti was cooked to perfection. But again the lack of garlic flavor perplexed me. The wife enjoyed her meal. Overall we enjoyed the dining experience of our first trip ordering off the individual entree menu, that would earn it 3 stars. But the 4 star rating comes from the pizza. We have made this our go to pizza joint in the area. First the crust is thin, which is the best IMHO. Second the cheese they use is super stringy and the toppings, while not the highest quality are still good. Overall I might try the entree menu again. But we will always be back for the pizza.

This locally owned gem has excellent pizza! The restaurant is quaint and the service is top notch…read more The walls are filled with framed photos of family and noteworthy individuals who have eaten at the restaurant. The prices are reasonable.

I ordered the carbonara and WOW. Creamy, perfectly salty, and the pasta was cooked just right. I still think about it, honestly. The portion was generous without being overwhelming, and you can just tell it's made with love. Service was just as impressive. Our server was friendly, checked in the perfect amount, and gave great recommendations. Everyone there made us feel so welcome, like regulars even though it was our first time. Definitely bookmarking this place for my next visit to South Bend. If you're craving authentic Italian in a warm, laid-back setting... this is it.

With that being stated, you can't be in a rush if you are planning to try Parisi's. We arrived at 7:30 and waited a bit to be seated. Our food also took a while to come out. I only saw two employees so they might be on a skeleton crew during the week. We visited on a Tuesday night. I wanted to order the lasagna but it was out for the day. We had an appetizer and some drinks to start the meal. My shrimp ravioli was very good and I loved the spicy red sauce. I was so happy with my selection. My husband ordered the lemon chicken and gave me a taste. The chicken was tender and had a tangy lemon flavor. We were both pleased with our plates. We will be back soon.
