I visited Barraco's for a party so we were in the event room, with one of the menus they have for private events. It was better than I expected it to be to be honest. The beef they had was probably my favorite and I am not usually a beef person. I wish I'd gotten a bit more of it! The mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine too. The place is both a restaurant and, at the front, seems to have some grocery items as well. They have a wine room, though not something I checked out. The private room was comfortable; it didn't feel overly crowded or anything, even though there were at least eight tables for dining and then a few others for food and gifts and whatnot. The one thing that was a little weird was that there were a couple bathrooms in the front of the room, which seemed like an odd and somewhat conspicuous place to put them. There was a bathroom out in the main restaurant, too, and also a family bathroom which I appreciated. That's where the changing table is located. Parking seems minimal--unless I missed some, it didn't actually seem like enough for the size of the restaurant. But they do have a private lot. read more

Barraco's - The restaurant interior features a mix of dining tables with chairs and booth seating along the walls. Multiple flat-screen TVs are mounted on the brick walls, displaying various screens. The ceiling has exposed pipes and ductwork, with large black pendant lights hanging down. Several patrons are seated at tables, and a staff member is walking through the space. Natural light enters through large windows, illuminating part of the dining area. - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Let me say that the service was good, the guy was pleasant to talk to and was very professional. The atmosphere was very pizzaesk. Lol The pizza however fell short. They give you plenty and you can tell that the ingredients are top notch but the flavor was severely lacking. The sauce is very bland and there is almost none on the pizza, however I don't think it would have helped if there was more. They need to really evaluate their sauce. I wasn't a fan of the crust either but it was ok. All in all, I probably wouldn't come back for the pizza. read more

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name... Do they know my name? Nope Do they act like they do when you enter through their door? Yes! Friendly, quick service, great food! When you order spinach, which you should, they give you so much that your eye doctor will thank them. The place feels like what I would imagine a local bar would feel like. I've been to parties here and the staff was great during those too. read more

Came in on a Saturday night, they have live music and are open late for dine in... that's as positive as this review gets... ordered a pizza, couple appetizers, pasta dishes. Wanted to try their broasted chicken, which the paper menu shows is sold by piece if you don't want a dinner. The waitress had to consult with the manager which did NOT want to sell the chicken by piece. But feel free to order 2 dinners for over $30?! Dine in and carry out are different... Ok? Weird. Anyways, The pasta came with a soup. We got cream of chicken, the chicken in the soup was so Gamey i thought it was ostrich or something else. Then the wings came out, I had 2, before I gave up and spit it out. The most spoiled chicken I've ever had in my life, I'm kind of glad they didn't sell me the broasted chicken. I will never, ever step foot in this place again. Oh and the best part, I sent the wings and soup back, no thank you... when I got my bill, there it was, a charge for the nastiest wings to ever be served on the south side of cook county... 0/10, do not recommend. (The waitress was nice though) read more

Then manager with an absolute horrid attitude i ordered blacked chicken fingers and they give me 5 pinky size strips when i called she told me there's nothing she can do and kept explaining how this is how the come 5 FINGERS OINKY SIZED mind you i ordered the meal multiplie times and they verve always been god the manager was crap wasn't willing to help under any circumstances just kept repeating herself about how this is how they come and NO TF they don't please find new competent mangers that have an idea what their talking about she "it's an appetizer" for who? A toddler? Please don't visit this establishment nothing but rude vile and incompetent workers read more

The pizza did not have any sauce. The waitress took forever to wait on us. Everything asked for took forever. The manager gave us half off the pizza and blamed the slow service on the graduations but the restaurant wasn't packed. read more

Only spot available in the area at 1 am. Tried it and liked it. Pizza and wings were great and the drinks were amazing as well. Service was very welcoming and vibe was comfortable. I highly recommend. read more

Service was not good First, they forgot chicken vesuvio plate and they said it was mistake that they didn't put it in. Second I asked them to not put pepperoni on the antipasta salad and they did put it on the antipasta salad, Third, she said she would make a new antipasta salad to go and when I got to the car there was no salad in bag.I called them back to tell them and they said they forgot,Sorry. And they said they would honor a credit on my account.But they need to have better service more experienced wait-staff.And more rotate managers to check if everything is going good. read more

We love eating here. The pizzas are absolutely delicious. And the service is just as good as the pizza!

Had a very unfortunate event here. Booked a room for a baptism. Francesca didn't let me know that I would be charge for people who didn't show. I did the pizza package. For 30 adults and six children. Ended up paying $1200. For 11 pizzas and beer and wine. We only had 21 adults that showed and six children. Shame on them for not making the adjustment. It's a shame. I will never go back there again. We had at least four pizzas left over. Note to anybody booking a party always under estimate the people that you have so you don't get charged. They need to make adjustments in their pricing so they don't have disgruntled patrons. It's a shame that. they don't have better management. Both of their dining rooms were empty so didn't matter which room they gave me. read more

I have tried the pizza here twice. All the flavors are amazing. I had a gluten free crust which was good. The Italian sausage and pizza sauce are both delicious. Lately I feel like the quality of Italian sausage has gone down everywhere, but this establishment uses quality tasty Italian sausage. Which is important in the Chicagoland area as it is a staple. Another staple is Giardiniera, and theirs is excellent on this pizza. Service is terrific. And the Ambiance is great. Great place for a holiday dinner or family gathering. read more

Barraco's - Six women are seated at a rectangular restaurant table, smiling at the camera. The table has water bottles, a pink water bottle, glasses, and some paper items. The background features a brick wall with artwork and hanging lights, creating a warm, dimly lit atmosphere. The women are wearing casual clothing, some with matching shirts, and appear to be enjoying a social gathering. - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Had a GrubHub mishap where the restaurant didn't get the order we placed for pickup. The staff was so gracious and accommodating. Can't say enough good things about this location. Food was excellent as always. Thanks so much to the awesome team at Barraco's!!! read more

Our server Jess M was wonderful and accommodating! We enjoyed our time and the food was delicious!

can't say enough about the staff at the Crestwood location. The service and the food was excellent for a last-minute dinner for a party of 20 dinner. They handled it like champs. The pizza and salads were excellent. The service was top-notch. Francesca on the phone was phenomenal helping me and things moving being that it was a Wednesday night. read more

My fiancé and I tried the buffet and the food was good. We arrived at 11:45 AM, and there was a lot of food to choose from they have three different kinds of pizza. There are many appetizers, wings, salad, desserts, and different kinds of warm noodle dishes. I asked the waitress what a certain noodle dish was on the buffet and she said she would find out for me, but then she never returned and vanished for about 20 minutes. Then we had to flag down another waitress to get refills of water and straws then finally the original waitress came and gave us our bill . Terrible customer service. She didn't deserve the tip I gave her. I would return, just hopefully get a different waitress next time. read more

Everything was great but especially Lizbeth! She is the best waitress!! Way to go Barraco's Crestwood for hiring her!

The food is soo good, I love the costumer service here especially the waiter named deliaaa !!! She's the best. Very sweet, kind, and nice beautiful young lady!! I definitely recommend!!! read more

I tried this place to go in Sept 2021. I had high hopes for it, but alas, I was disappointed. I ordered the NY steak wrap- which as my picture shows had barely any meat in it. It was like they took a salad and wrapped it up inside a tortilla. It was not flavorful. We tried the cheese sticks. I don't remember much about these, except that I didn't think highly of them, especially not for over $8. He had the meatball sandwich. He was also underwhelmed. Overall, not a great experience. I will almost always try a place more than once, because sometimes places have an off night and who knows what COVID did to their quality. Until then, I'm rating this 2 stars, not because the food was great, but because of convenience (location and hours) and the staff were nice and seemed to be enjoying themselves. read more

Recently renovated inside and several upgrades re: entertainment and selection also. Lots of craft beer on tap and premium liquor on the shelf- esp whiskeys. An insane amount of TVs and bubble hockey in the bar area. Decent place to catch a game without being overcrowded. We ponied up to the bar with a group of friends to watch the bears. The bar staff were nice and attentive. Fried ravioli app is pretty solid. We also had a wrap and chicken parm sandwich that were satisfactory. Not a bad spot by any means. read more

My wife introduced me to Barraco's, there's been several locations near many of the towns I frequent but haven't tried their food until the last 6 years or so. It's very tasty and I enjoy all of the food options I've had here. Our family has had numerous parties in the banquet room. The staff is super friendly and very attentive, very much worth the money if you're looking to have a gathering of 50-100 people. read more

Delivery was 1.5 hours then when i got the food it was leaked out and ruined everything else delivery guy says not my problem and manager says he probably didn't know. Well you loose are business read more

Been coming to this location for years and there have been mistakes made but tonight was worth a review. First and foremost I'd expect hot food when picked up on time and the ball was dropped on that. Secondly, I order the chicken tenders tossed in BBQ sauce nearly every time and today I was given plain tenders with BBQ on the side when ranch on the side was requested with the BBQ tenders. Next, I HIGHLY suggest not trying the oysters Rockefeller as they were covered with a nearly half inch thick slice of mozzarella that was not melted. Lastly, please update your menu prices! I understand that prices increase but please do not blindside me with the price increase. It looks like I will have to try another location if I want to give Barraco's another shot someday. read more

Barraco's - Oysters Rockefeller - Oysters Rockefeller are presented in a rectangular aluminum foil container, topped with melted cheese and some greens. The dish appears to be prepared as a baked seafood appetizer, with the cheese covering the oysters and greens underneath. The presentation is simple, focusing on the baked oysters with cheese topping. - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Me and my husband usually order from here and it's usually good but i'm guessing they got a new cook or something because this pizza is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. There was no sauce so it was dry, not enough cheese and the wings were significantly smaller and burnt. Idk what that's about but hopefully they fix it. Because i have never had pizza this bad. read more

Since they remodeled it is very loud. The tables are in the bar, all hard surfaces that echo all the noise. The dining area is right between the bar & the gaming. Seems they were most interested in pleasing the gaming people. Well, I am not a gaming person so won't be back. Too loud, & terrible atmosphere! read more

I guess Barracos took away their DEI program as well when Trump got in office. They behavior towards customers changed, Not friendly at all, i was told my wings were not not but the once that were brought out was very hot, and instead of explaining from the beginning about the shift is switching over, the waitress switched in between us ordering food. It's small restaurant like thus that can't afford to let a Political moved change thevway they do service because People are only set to be in office for so long, but you suppose to think about your business for the FUTURE, NOT FOR NOW. CUSTOMERS REMEMBER HOW THEY WERE TREATED WHEN COMING TONA ESTABLISHMENT. I rather take my money to Home Run Inn or Italian Fiesta or even Beggars. Atleast I know I would be treated with respect and dignity. Barracos Pizza does mimic Italian Fiesta, i would suggest to anyone to take your services to them. Call in 1st.... Barracos YALL HAVE TO DO BETTER. read more

Customer service is horrible. Staff are not all on the same page, same question different answers. Food was disappointing as well at my last visit. read more

I had stopped in to pick up dinner that my girlfriend had already paid for... the lady working the counter told me it was not paid for, so I double paid. When I got home and realized this, I called the crestwood Barracco's location to inform them of the mix up. The manager refused to refund my money on her mistake, and told me to contact the app that i ordered from. Not welcoming or friendly, and none of it made sense. read more

excellent customer service!! and the food is also great, & overall place was nice and clean!

Very good lunch buffet. They have pizza if course,fried chicken, homemade meatballs, baked pasta, Italian desserts, fresh salads so much more. Good variety of pizza all for 12.99 drinks not included but still a good price for all you can eat . read more

My girlfriend and I went to the Barracos in Crestwood today 3/21/24. As we were walking in girlfriend was immediately told very rudely that you are not allowed to bring in that Starbucks coffee and to go put it outside. Jen the manager couldn't have been any more ignorant. We explain to our waitress why my girlfriend didn't want to eat was because she was upset about the way she was treated about a coffee. We were put in a corner nobody could see us and on top of that there was nobody in the restaurant. The waitress stated that she was working there for that same reason we are complaining about. Jen has issues how to handle customer service and just respect for the customer in general. Food was decent I had the buffet they could spruce up the condiments for the salad but otherwise okay. read more

Left because there was no service waiting to serve us to sit Oysters Rockefeller trash never tried it just need to post about service read more

Barraco's - Trash - A poorly focused, dark image with no discernible objects, subjects, or context. The photo appears blurry and lacks visual clarity, making it impossible to interpret or identify any specific elements. - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Poorly handled my family's party. Harsh and rude customer service. The space is remolded but the event space was nastyyyyyyyyy. Utensils dirty with leftover salad on the forks, trash on the floors, and the bathrooms had piss all over them. I complained to management to fix the issue during our party and they said we are short staffed and this is the best we have. I can not accept that. A clean event space should have been prepared before we arrived. Please do not give them your business as they do not value it !! read more

Crestwood location & the new Orland location are just awful. I used to love love love Barracos, but recently, the food has taken a hit. I can get over their terrible customer service I've received over the last few encounters, but both locations have proven to me that Barracos has cut corners on food quality and care. read more

I cannot make claims about the in restaurant food or service. I've been recently disabled, so I don't get out much. Regardless, for the past five years, we have ordered pizzas & other foods from Barraccos in Crestwood weekly. Myself, I would order pizza from any other place before them, including the more affordable Domino's. But in all fairness, my wife likes their thin crust, pizza with mushroom and cheese only. So happy wife, happy life :-) Even with something as simple as that, it's a 50-50 chance if we get the order right or if it's cooked properly. And that's after five years of consistently agreeing with my wife to order pizza from them. Sometimes the crust is cooked too little, sometimes crust is hard as a stick. My wife simply likes a thin crust pizza, I've ventured onto attempting other food from them when my wife has ordered their below average pizza. How hard is it for an Italian restaurant to cook a pizza? The disappointment was more often than not, so I stopped ordering any food and would make a sandwich on my wife's pizza days, lol. This evening was the straw that broke the camels back when I was home by myself, and simply didn't want to clean the mess of cooking. I spent $50 for a full slab of ribs and a side of a pasta. I always take care of the delivery drivers with a good tip. My ribs were burnt crispy black beyond edible. Every rib bone tip was black and crusty with the outside and the inside not chewable. Leather is soft compared to these. Then the person who cooked them, who obviously is not a cook or chef poured about 2 cups of runny barbecue sauce over them. Normally, I would ask for a refund and offer them to come pick the meal up as proof of how horribly inedible the entire meal was in hopes that it was just a cook on a bad night.. The ribs were garbage and I would not feed to a stray dog, the side of fettuccine ordered tasted like it was made of powder milk with a bunch of flour over the noodles(not edible). Even the side of cream of chicken soup was horrible. Cream of chicken soup is not supposed to be the consistency of water. Even still it tasted horrible. Garbage. I am very upset that they would serve this to anybody. I ate my baked potato, and that was it.. I did call barracos in Crestwood back. I wanted to make a point and told the manager I did not want a refund or a redelivery because I simply wanted the manager to believe me because they normally don't believe you or care if you're food is mixed up or prepared wrong. As polite as I could be, I simply asked her if she would tell the cook that the next time he burnt an order of ribs, would he just start them over again? The manager was in a hurry to tell me to "hush" so she could get to the root of the problem which was very impolite. I was very calm & respectful in simply advising her that the person who prepared the meal failed on all parts, except for pulling the baked potato out of the area they keep them warm in. Nobody's perfect and errors are going to be made. I am fine with realizing that, but Barraccos delivery service cannot deliver food that is just OK to consume half the time as you pay a premium price for.. This will be the final time I will ever eat anything from Barraccos's regardless of how patient my wife is with them messing up her cheese and mushroom pizza. On a scale from 1 - 5, I would rate them a -2. Do not waste your money or time on food from Barraccos's in Crestwood for delivery service. More importantly, do not waste your time because over 50% of the time the food is horrible no matter what you order.. I've ordered barraccos at other places for 30 years. But I will no longer do so, especially from Crestwood. God as my witness, they have even screwed up a grilled cheese sandwich before. I cannot fathom how they remotely stay in business? do not waste your money, but more importantly, do not waste your time by being upset when you're hungry. A homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwich is cuisine compared to anything they can attempt preparing. It must be because they hire people with zero experience or people that could care less. I feel I'm being nice by saying the food is edible 50% of the time. Furthermore, the management either doesn't believe you or just does not simply care. Again, I have been trying to do business with them for five years and other Crestwood restaurants for over 30 years. I will eat my puppies dog food before I would eat anything from them. Over priced, under quality, never made properly, never take responsibility for screwing things up. I've had far better food at grammar school, football games(no insult to volunteers) :-) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, Good luck, God Bless. read more

Oh so loved the ambiance at the Barracos on 137 th and cicero. The place is large and open for a venue like a reception or baby shower. The bar is large and long and the all you can eat Lunch buffet is worth money ($14:tax) the buffet had fried chicken and barbecue tenders . They have zucchini and carrots stir fry and a veggie penne pasta red sauce with mushrooms. Mac and cheese + roast beef and mashed potatoes. Salad romaine lettuce with veggies like green peppers cucumbers and Parmesan cheese with several options for dressings . The service is do it yourself except they will bring you a drink, pizza options were cheese or pepperoni or sausage. I will dine again. It's on the list for let's go to lunch! read more

Not friendly. Food is bad. When you don't get what you want on your dinner and ask for your money back they said it said on the menu that you can't have your money back I could of have the same thing redone but it taste awful. Why would I wait a long time to have the same thing. It's how we make this dish they said. read more

I really tried to like this place. My significant other and I decided to have a date night at a local restaurant. We have never eaten here and most certainly won't be back. Firstly, the server was terrible. It literally costs nothing to be nice and helpful as a server. That's what you are supposed to do. Throughout our meal, we were met with a nonchalant attitude as if us deciding to dine here was an inconvenience to her. We didn't even feel comfortable asking her a lot the menu because didn't stick around long enough for us to inquire. The restaurant is as pretty empty so there is no reason she shouldn't be attentive. Secondly, our food was mediocre at best. The crust on the pizza we had was crumbling and falling apart. It also had no sauce on it. I will not be back. Good service goes a long way read more

Ordered a pepperoni pizza last night and it was one of the worst pizza's I've ever had. Barely any cheese. The pepperoni was sliced so thin you couldn't even taste it. Unbelievably bland all the way around. I used to order from Barraco's on 95th all the time, this wasn't even close to the same quality. Never again. read more

I have catered from this business on numerous occasions and was always please with the food. I seen they were offering a buffet from 11am -3pm Monday-Friday, we arrived at 1:30pm. I took my husband there for his birthday 7/10/23 for the buffet we were so excited. We walked in and was greeted by the waitress who asked us what we needed and I said we would like the buffet, she then waved her hand in the direction of the buffet and said help yourselves. We walked over there to a very disappointing buffet. The items were very limited and appeared to be sitting there for some time. There was some pizza, fried chicken, mash potatoes, alfredo, mostaccioli, some veggies and a sad excuse for a salad bar oh I forgot to mention the straight from the freezer mini tacos and chocolate pudding that has seen better days. I see why there was not much business during lunch time, between the waitress not attending to her tables ( all 2 tables) and I had to stop her to get refills and water ect. Sadly I will not be back, and I am sure the company could care less. read more
