The Service and Food are all delicious. Their weekly specials are to die for and the regular menu is wonderful.

Tried this place again. Bread was excellent. Steak was terrible. My mom's salad was old and rotten. I probably won't come back. Waitress was nice and the restaurant is clean. read more

We visited Barrel 28 on Friday night. We walked in to a warm, welcoming restaurant. We were seated right away and received attentive service throughout our meal. We had the beet and goat cheese salad and a Thai chicken pizza. The salad was fresh and yummy. The pizza was delectable. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and being seated at a high top in the bar area was a really nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

an old friend and I met up here that I hadn't seen in many many years and this place was suggested. it's definitely a cute little spot in town. The parking can be a little tricky, but I was able to find a spot. The place itself is really cute and you can definitely tell it gets busy on a weekend night. I had a soda and some fries so I can only comment on this type of food and they were really good. I hope to be back again to try one of their meals on the menu. So if you're in the area stop in this cute little place. I can definitely tell it's a popular spot in town. read more

Decent service and atmosphere but the food is just mediocre. Typical for this area, nothing special.

Be sure to double-check your tab. On our visit, we were charged for more than we ordered. This also happened to us on a previous visit. When we brought it up, the bartender did not correct the bill, which was frustrating. Just something to be aware of when you go! read more

Was attending a wake nearby (we live ~30 mins away) and decided to stop in, 2 couples after the wake. 3 of us had the 28 burger, all of us found it to be perfectly cooked and tasted great. 1 had the lobster roll, which was on the smaller side, but she seemed to like it. We all upgraded our fries to truffle fries (which were good), while the portion was large, it was a $6 up charge- that's a bit much. I'd have rather had half the fries for $3-4 than pay $24 for my burger and fries. We all had 1 drink (alcohol) each and the bill with tip was almost $200, $100 per couple seems a bit high for just burgers and a drink. Our waitress was spot on and very friendly and food came out rather quickly. The inside is really cool, lots of handcrafted wood! I'd stop in again but maybe reconsider the upgraded fries. ;) read more

Food was great, drinks were good, portions large- I recommend the buffalo wings, the calamari, the chicken Milanese, and the pizza is terrific. The service was fast and courteous with a smile. This is a great late night spot, or a great spot for a good lunch or dinner. I recommend this very well organized establishment. read more

Barrel 28 is amazing! We went hunting for food after the Tri-State NY Spartan and neither of the first 2 places we went to get food after were open. But lucky for us Dawn saw us outside and invited us in! We got DELICIOUS ciders (definitely try the Apple Cider Donut by Hudson North), and then after looking over the menu picked the Mac n Cheese bites (which were the perfect balance of hot n crispy), and 2 Barrel 28 Burgers (which were flavorful, delicious and cooked to perfection!) Maddie was also a wonderful bartender and made one hell of a Raspberry Lemonade! 10/10 will return if we are ever back in the area! read more

The manager and hostess need to learn how to seat people. We arrive to what is nearly an empty restaurant. There are 4 high-tops near the bar that were apparently "reserved" so we weren't allowed to sit there. Instead they sit us, a couple, in the corner of the restaurant next to the only occupied table in the restaurant, which was a family with young children. The one side of the table had a bench seat which was extremely uncomfortable. We eat, which thankfully the food is great there, and leave. And guess what....only 1 of those 4 high-tops was occupied when we left. I'm so glad you sacrificed the comfort of your current customers for ones that didn't even show up. read more

It's a great place to catch up with family & friends. I love the fig and goat cheese pizza, and also the French dip dinner.

This place was a perfect find. It was extremely family friendly and the vibe was very welcoming. Overall, the food was excellent. We had some seasonal drinks and we were pleasantly surprised that one of them came with an order of meatballs. The french onion soup and lobster roll were delicious. The main food did take a long time to come out but our server was incredibly transparent and apologetic. In fact, her direct service was impeccable. read more

I came here with my family this past Sunday since we wanted to try a new restaurant besides the ones around Warwick. The interior decor is really nice. I especially liked how front of house looked, but we sat in the back. I must say, I was throughly happy over how delicious the food was! For starters, we ordered the coconut shrimp, calamari, and hot wings for the table. The coconut shrimp was very crispy and flavorful without being too oily. Coconut flavor was there, yum! Calamari was soft, crispy on the outside, and the marinara was very good. Honestly some of the best starters I've had. For my entree I ordered the cioppino. I've been wanting to try this dish for a while now, and lo and behold this place had it on their specials menu! I really enjoyed this dish. All the fish was so soft and fresh tasting. The squid, octopus, scallops, shrimp, all of it very tasty in a white wine plum tomato sauce. I really enjoyed eating it with the linguine, and the portion size was quite generous! Service was also very good. Waiters came by multiple times to check on us. Whether it was taking our orders, or seeing if we needed plates removed, or waters refilled, or more drinks made, everyone was attentive and quick. Food was a little pricy, but considering how good it was, I think it's worth it. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely come back. read more

I love the food at Barrel 28! The owner, Marc is fantastic and I love his bartender Maddy and waiter Dennis. (All the staff is fantastic!) They have a lovely patio for dinning, live music and a beautiful atmosphere. They have weekly meal specials and drink specials. They have a very creative and delicious menu. Barrel 28 is right in the heart of Orange County New York. They have fantastic Sunday brunch and on Wednesday's prime rib!!! Yummy!!! read more

Great food, fantastic menu, well seasoned and prepared I'm sorry I have lived in the area 20 years and only just discovered this place. I'll be back soon I'm sure. Great apps, and great burgers and pizza. I wish they had the prime rib on the weekends cause it was amazing. Very clean, well lit and modern. Clean bathrooms and the staff is on their toes. read more

I've been in Chester 20 years and never knew this place existed. (They need better marketing) The service was great, the seats outside are great, and if you're looking for one of the best burgers in Orange County - this may very well be the place. read more

What a great spot! We drove up here, it's not close, but it is SO worth it!!!! The place is well designed and posh. The options for drink already are impressive from a local cider to amazing local IPAs and Mosel Rieslings. The pizza is something to look forward to, perfect crust, and local cheese complement their on-site made sauce. I had the wild mushroom risotto and let me tell you that is an amazing dish!!! With all the mushrooms like shiitake and oyster and Chantelle mushrooms. Coming back for amazing fare, wonderful drink and live music all through the summer! If it's a nice day, ask to be seated on the patio!!!! read more

Do not read the other reviews, come try this place for yourself!! They opened right after Covid lockdowns as a brand new restaurant and have recently cleaned up their staff. All negative reviews are from prior management that may have caused for the bad past reviews. Holding compassion for brand new restaurants is a better option than a negative review. Three months since I was last in the adorable and fun town of Florida, Ny. My husband and I hop around at all the bars and breweries in this town and always seem to end up at Barrel 28 thus far. The bar is our favorite spot in the place, the outdoor dining area being second. We met the manager/owner? Very great guy. Gave us some free appetizer, a free round of drinks and hung out like a regular cool guy almost the entire night. We absolutely LOVE it here. I cannot express verbally how we adore this town and this restaurant. Between the convenience of bar hopping and the interesting and welcoming locals, I recommend highly, this area in general. Prime rib -- do yourself a favor and get it!!!!. Please don't read the bad reviews!! They are opinionated and uncompassionate of new restaurant owners. It takes time for a place to establish a routine and a flow! Make your own opinion!! read more

I have passed this place on my way to work for over a year. Last night my husband and I went in for dinner. It was fantastic! We had wonderful service from our server Rachel. The menu has something for everyone. Big portions! We started with Calamari and Buffalo wings. Calamari was huge and delicious! Our entrees were Baby back ribs and Pork schnitzel with a marsala wine sauce. Hubby was very happy with his meal. My ribs were delicious! For dessert we had the limoncello gelato and pumpkin creme brulee!! Dessert was amazing!! Owner came to greet us, very nice gentleman. We will be going back soon. Give them a try! read more

Food is phenomenal every time we go in there, but the real stand out to me is the staff! I was sat by a wonderful woman named Dawn! It was just me and my One year-old and she offered a hand while I set up his highchair, which was a lifesaver!!!! She was so sweet and helpful and even got another staff member to help us outside to the car when we were ready to leave. She's a gem and truly made our experience just that much better!!! And to the wonderful young gentleman that helped me out to the car, I wish I got your name, but just know you guys truly made my experience wonderful. read more

I ate here yesterday with family. The decor inside is very nice. The inside is surprising bigger than it looks from the outside. We were greeted right away by our waiter who took our drink order. The Fried calamari appetiaer was very good as was the thai chili sauce. I ordered the Buffalo bacon bleu burger with fries. It was very good and cooked the way I ordered it which was medium. The fries were good and seasoned nicely. The service was good, the waiter was attentive. My soda did taste a little soapy and sent it back twice and just had water. I don't know if it was a dishwasher problem or the soda dispenser but things happen and it did not ruin the experience for me. I would recommend this place as I thought it was very decent food with good scenery. read more

Decided to go get dinner at barrel 28. The atmosphere and service were very good. I have to say I was a bit disappointed in my meal. While I know lobster rolls are what they are, I feel that the quantity of food for $18 dollars was a bit bare. It was three pieces of lobster, drenched in olive oil served on a hotdog bun. It was spiced up with 3 to 4 pieces of arugula scattered on the plate. Along with a small cup of fries. I guess I expected more from a place that charged us a fee for operating charge. I don't even know what that was for to be honest. My wife ordered the beets salad and added the blackened/grilled salmon. While I understand that adding the fish would add to the price, I feel that adding a $14 dollar fee for a piece of fish is a bit excessive. I would go back but I would stick to a basic burger or sandwich. read more

Outstanding food, great staff and the owner is on top of it, lol needed ketchup for my burger and before I even asked he put it on the table. The burgers and salads were flavorful, perfectly executed. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

Discovered Barrel 28 during the Holiday season. Happened to stop in one night during a Santa crawl. With all that was going on, the staff at the bar was extremely attentive and didn't miss a beat. A month or so later, a friend and I went back for lunch on a Saturday and we were blown away. Not only by the engaging and friendly service but the food. Ever since then we've become regulars and it never ever disappoints. So much so that PJ the weekend manager / mixologist has been known to "surprise me" with making my food choices for me and has hit it out of the ballpark every single time. Yes, they perform magic in the kitchen-- the food is creative, comforting and original all in one. Barrel 28 is one of those places you can't pass by. The staff are amazing and the clientele is very friendly. THIS PLACE IS A WINNER!!!!!! read more

Great Tasting Food, Beautiful Atmosphere, Special Dinners and Great Service. Dining inside and out when weather permits

Very good restaurant with one drawback. Service was excellent, food was delicious, only drawback was either drain flies or fruit flies were occasionally flying near our table. As a former exterminator, this is not a huge problem like mice or roaches and easily corrected, but needs to be addressed. I would go back again but I hope the owner sees my review as helpful, not negative. read more

Food was very good and the service was on point. Music was a little too loud for inside.

Always a great time at Barrel 28. I live about a mile from the restaurant and frequently go there for a beer and a burger with my wife. The service is excellent and the vibe is always up beat. On the weekends they have live music, and the crowd is typically vibrant and active. A local favorite for sure. read more

Went here for the first time. The staff was exceptional, our waitress Jess was so great and very attentive.

I highly recommend this place. You will not regret it. read more

Nice sized restaurant ( you wouldn't know from the outside) nicely decorated, outdoor seating and a good variety menu. The service is very good, owner/ manager acts as maitre d and is very polite and has an earpiece so staff can communicate with him. food tasty and very fresh. Food pricing a tad expensive but worth it. This is likely because this place opened in 2021 so many bills likely to still be payed. Music at times, party room available. read more
