such a great brunch experience! we were visiting my sister in Illinois and we were looking for a new brunch spot to try, and she said her boss recommended this spot so we should try it. and i'm very happy we did! we got seated very quickly on Mother's Day for brunch, and service was friendly in this clean, welcoming, and bright restaurant! some things we ordered: - mimosa flight: very delicious, but definitely more juicy than champagne-y (which not complaining bc i love my mimosas sweet lol) - loaded bloody mary: my mom and sister were big fans! - southern chicken sandwich: i love me a chicken sandwich, and this one was yummy! the chicken was big and juicy, and i love me some thin cut fries! i do wish there was more sauce on my sandwich, but i just love sauce LOL - 2 eggs your way, eggs benedict, southern skillet (i think that's what it was?): these are what my family had, and they all enjoyed it! we do wish the skillet was a big bigger, but it was good! overall we would definitely come back to this spot for brunch when visiting again! would love to try their dinner menu :)

Stumbled in on a whim and immediately felt like we had been missing out on something. Romantic modern gothic is the only way I can describe it. Dark beadboard walls, copper ceiling tiles, round orb lighting, and upstairs a cavernous space with soaring ceilings anchored by a stunning skylight. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the area. Date night approved. One gripe before we get to the good stuff: if you have pages and pages of creative cocktails and an extensive wine list, your two mocktail options deserve the same love. We don't drink and the options were fine but very sour and clearly an afterthought. Do better for the sober and sober curious crowd. Now the food. The burrata was creamy, rich, and gorgeous sitting in olive oil topped with chimichurri and grilled bread. Needed more balsamic to bring the acid balance home, but honestly still one of the better burratas I've had locally. The stuffed pork with gouda, chimichurri, and saffron potato wedges was a genuinely smart plate. The saffron wedges were a surprise standout, bringing a clean earthiness that cut through the richness beautifully. A touch heavy on the gouda and the whole dish woke up considerably with a little extra salt, but the bones of it are excellent. The churrasco hanger steak told the same story. Well cooked, flavorful, chimichurri doing its job. The curly fries were the one shrug of the night. Not bad, just boring next to everything else on offer. Mike our server closed the deal by steering us toward the caramel skillet cookie and honestly, bless him for it. Warm, salty, sweet, rich, topped with cold vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It is everything a skillet cookie should be and we scraped the pan. We are already planning the return visit and bringing friends. Barrel & Vine is an unexpected dining experience that Plainfield is lucky to have.

Short ribs with mashed potatoes, crispy leeks, and the most delicious sauce

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed it! Great food, service, and a really pretty place. We'll be back! Highly recommend the Greek salad, short ribs, sticky toffee pudding, and chocolate cherry old fashioned!

The food was delicious, and the staff was welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The outdoor seating is a nice touch, and my drink was refreshing and perfect for summer. A great spot that I'd happily visit again.

NYE dinner was a great choice. Delicious cocktails, champagne samples, and party hats that traveled with us all night... immaculate vibes. Our waitress was attentive with great energy, and I loved that multiple staff members chimed in to hype up the steak sandwich. The food was a 10/10: flavorful steak sandwich, perfectly crunchy fries, and a sauce that wasn't overpowering. The calamari was buttery smooth on the inside and light, crispy, and golden on the outside. An amazing experience overall.

Came here for a birthday brunch. My friend was able to make rsvp for 26 ppl (adults + kids) with no issues. The restaurant has an upstairs that is pretty big. Could probably hold a huge wedding or Shower party there. Love the decor and food was great. I think they have a coat check, but I'm not sure. The coats didn't stay well on the chairs. And can't hang your purse on the back either. I ended up putting my purse between my shoes. Had the mimosa flight and was able to try all of their flavored mimosas. They were pretty tart. But I like the strawberry lemon the most. Got the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon. Came with a side of potatoes and peppers. Then ended with the sticky toffee pudding. Definitely recommend as it melts into your mouth. The waiters were really nice and was able to do split checks with no issues. There are street parking and a small parking lot not far from the restaurant. There were signs on the street that helped guide me to the parking lot.

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. We had a large group and they had the table set up before we arrived. The service was fantastic. They do not have a separate GF menu but the server indicated many items can be made GF. My friend I split the poppyseed quinoa salad and a veggie omelette with GF toast. The server confirmed there is a separate toaster and the omelette would be made in a clean pan. The food was delicious. I also ordered the mimosa sampler. They have great flavors to try. Will definitely come back!

We had the brussel sprouts for our appetizer and they were so good. I had the stuffed pork chop and have never had a better pork chop-amazing! My husband had the Barrel Carbonara and he said it was so good he'd order it again (&again). Dessert was the Sticky Toffee Pudding-wow!!! Mike was our waiter and he didn't miss a beat. Loved the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!!!

We recently discovered this place and have been here a few times already. It is spacious and has a nice comfortable atmosphere. Service has always been wonderful. Great spot for special occasions that's nice but not too fancy.

Amazing local restaurant in Downtown Plainfield with incredible service, a beautiful space, and quality drinks/food! If you remember Opera House, then you know how large this space is. The inside is absolutely beautiful. There's two floors. The first floor appears more casual, a great spot to grab a pre or post drink. The upstairs is where we were seated, in the massive dining room. Our server was on it, checking in often and made great conversation. I was most excited by the crispy calamari, mostly because it's gluten-free, and it's not often that I get to eat fried calamari. It was super good, lightly crisped, and chewy but not mushy. The short rib was slightly disappointing. The piece I received was mostly fat, but the pieces I could eat I enjoyed. The drinks were a hit as well. I can see this becoming a go to spot in the summer as well.

I don't know how they do it but every single time I come here I get the best service ever. The wait staff is so friendly here and it happens every single time! I went to lunch with my dad today and our server a dark haired young girl was such a sweetheart, she was kind, helped anyway she could and just went above and beyond. I should have gotten her name. I also was so impressed with the food but this is no surprise I have been here before. It was my dad's first time and he LOVED it. The ambiance is very nice and the managers and owners that hire the staff keep it up because you're bringing in such warm people that really make you stand out.

Went there on Valentine's Day. It was a perfect date night spot! The place was packed and very well staffed. We met the owner and a few different managers checked on us. Our server was exceptional! Her name is Tiffany and is a delight! Highly recommend the Spanish octopus appetizer - it was delicious! It comes with potatoes so that was a nice surprise. We each ordered steaks - they were cooked to perfection. The server asked us to cut into them prior to eating to make sure they were cooked to our liking - nice touch! And we topped it off with the flourless chocolate cake - worth the calories - delicious!!!! We will definitely be back and will request Tiffany's table. read more

As Plainfield residents, we were embarrassed to learn that B&V had been in this location for a year and we were there for the first time. What a great find! We loved the diverse menu, ambiance, food and service. Our server, Angela, was wonderful. Steak, seafood, pork chop entrees were all very good. Equally good were the calamari and bruschetta apps. Same for the cookie/salted caramel ice cream dessert shared by four people. We are already making plans to return in December with a party of 10! read more

The 3 lamb chops were outstanding, pink in center and seasoned well. They came with mashed potatoes and asparagus both very good accompaniments. We did take out and weren't disappointed. Would order from here again. We also ordered the Chicken Paprikash and were very disappointed as the gravy was way too tomato tasting. It's suppose to be mixed with sour cream while hot, not after plated. So this was a no no as to following the Czech recipe for us. read more

Perfect addition to Downtown Plainfield. Went out to dinner with my wife and we couldn't have had a more enjoyable time. All the employees were so pleasant, and our waitress was always nearby if we needed anything. The makeover of the building was fantastic and just a good modern vibe. Everything on the menu sounded great so we split. Had the pierogi's and Brussels sprouts both very good. We both said pierogis were best we have ever had. We also got the Churrasco and Short Rib Bolognese. Talk about flavor explosions. Chimichurri sauce was heavy on cilantro if that is your thing. Will definitely be back and excited to try more of the menu but also could see ordering the same again because it was so good. read more

I wanted to give a huge shout out to all the folks at Barrel & Vine in downtown Plainfield! I recently planned a lunch there for 20 people. Tim, one of the managers, did a fantastic job communicating and making sure all was in place for our event. Our servers, Anthony and Angela, were friendly and professional and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We had an amazing time, and the venue was absolutely lovely! The food was outstanding! The brie and fig crostini was a standout, as was the pesto shrimp risotto. The pub burger was delicious, especially when paired with the truffle fries. Be sure to start with one of their creative craft cocktails, and then leave room for dessert, too! The wonderful food and outstanding customer service (both hard to find these days!) by far exceeded our expectations. It was refreshing to see a restaurant with such a perfect blend of charm and sophistication. Combining that with appetizing food and top-notch customer service makes this restaurant a gem and a huge asset to the downtown Plainfield dining scene. We will surely be back! read more

Food was ok and reasonably priced. However the ambiance was very casual and acoustics were terrible. It was so loud that it almost impossible to hold a conversation with the people at our table. I will say the service was very good. Our food arrived at the table promptly after we finished our appetizer.

I was pleasantly surprised with Barrel & Vine in Plainfield. I was warmly welcomed by the staff and they made me feel like I've been there before. Was fortunate enough to meet the owners (husband and wife). They already got me excited to come back with my family. They did an amazing job in converting the space to something modern while hanging onto the rich history an charm of the building. I came early so everything was wide open. I don't think this will stay like this for long. It's such a hidden gem. Great menu. Even better ambiance. Servers were phenomenal. Easy parking. Awesome neighborhood of downtown Plainfield. I legit can't wait to come back. I don't think I've scratched the surface of how good this place is. That alone, really excites me to come back with belly empty and eyes wide open. If you're on the fence...don't be. I'll report back on my 2nd visit. read more

Such a great new addition to downtown Plainfield. They've done a great job with both the bar area and the restaurant. We went with another couple and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Two had the Seabass special, one had the aged strip special, and I had the gouda stuffed pork chop. Can't even explain how delicious it was. Brussels were great, desert was great, drinks were great, server was great. It's a big room with really high ceilings so it can get a bit loud but it didn't bother us at all. 100% across the board and can't wait to go back.

DOPPELBOCK 'N ROLL…read more This suburban brewery taps a solid, headbanging beer. I've always felt that a cold draft hits differently than a can or bottle. When the mood strikes me, I'll venture over to Garage Band Brewing on Des Plaines St in downtown Plainfield, next door to Station One Smokehouse (with whom they share a symbiotic relationship). Their brews have hard rock-inspired names, like 'Stout It Out Loud' (a play on the KISS song), 'Hop Shaped Box' (Alice in Chains), and 'Hybrid Th30ry' (a 30 IBU pale ale with a nod to Linkin Park). Last time here, I got 12oz of the 'Don't Harsh My Mellow' for $6. I dig the packaging wrap on their 16oz cans of Dizzy Up the Blonde; a Marilyn Monroe-esque lady sitting on a 55gal drum, suggestively tugging on her red high heel with one hand and holding a chalice of beer in the other. What's not to like there? They have a trio of pinball tables that get sporadically rotated out. Previously they had Foo Fighters and Star Wars, now they've got Stranger Things, JAWS, and a gorgeous Godzilla premium model at $1 per play. There's a digital jukebox too, if you wanna pick tunes for the venue. * TL;DR * I lack the time and expertise to brew my own beer, so I'm happy to leave it to the pros. Garage Band is a small operation with big dreams, and they already have a handful of solid brews in circulation. I check back every few months to see their new seasonal drafts, like a shandy in the summer and darker Oktoberfest-style beer in the fall. They're closed Mon-Tues. Beer and pinball are significant passions of mine, and since Garage Band has a nice selection of both, they get an easy 5*.

The menu offered a great selection of food, and I went with the Sausage and Peppers pizza. The pizza crust was slightly thicker than the local tavern style pizzas, and it was cooked perfectly. I was told there is a legit pizza oven in the back of the place. The pizza overall was damn good. I wanted to eat more of it but was trying to be respectable in front of company. Our server was friendly and super-efficient - always ready with whatever we needed. This was another establishment that made me wish I had something similar here in this touristy town where I reside.

We stopped in hoping for a table and were told they were too busy to seat us, which is completely…read moreunderstandable. When I asked to be added to the waitlist, the hostess said they "don't really do that." I asked if they don't do waitlists at all, and she said "no, not really." The whole exchange was short and felt dismissive. Partway through, she stepped away to seat another table, then came back and said she guessed she could put us down for 8:15 as a reservation instead. By that point it felt like we were pleading just to get a table, so we left and went to another local spot we love. The frustrating part? We got a text that our table was ready about five minutes after we walked out. I think this was a hostess issue more than a restaurant issue, but some training on how to handle a full house and basic people skills would go a long way. A simple "we can put you down and text you when something opens up" is all it would have taken

Nottt a favourite. My sister and I pulled up last year--I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and we…read moreshared the Smoked Chicken + Artichoke Dip and the cheese curds. It ended up being a massive bummer! For the wrap, I really do hate sounding so harsh, but I don't know how else to put it other than it was one of the worst things I've had. It was soggy, cold, and smelled--not sure about the taste since I could barely taste anything except the sauce--almost rancid! I have NEVER had Buffalo sauce taste like that before! And my lettuce was super soggy and super yellow with some browning, past the regular texture + colour for this type of lettuce. I had many more pieces, but I was so in shock from the wrap that I genuinely didn't take any photos. I genuinely felt ill and I couldn't come close to finishing it--and neither could my sister when she tried to help! The dip was OK, but again, it was cold and rather tasteless. We did end up finishing it, but it wasn't generally noteworthy. It was the best out of the three items we tried, though! The cheese curds were either barely cooked and stale or very overcooked and chilled--the cheese was hard, rubbery, and really cold! They were seasoned nicely though, so we ate enough of it--especially my sister who found some redeeming factors within them! The sauce helped! Oddly enough, we were basically the only people inside, so I'm not sure what went so wrong! There was a small post-funeral or celebration of life being hosted outside (I think???? Everyone in that area wore black/dark formal clothing and looked upset), so maybe all the care went to them?? I'm not sure how it could've really been a "bad day" since it was pretty well staffed and seemingly little stress, but I'm giving a benefit of the doubt if that's my ignorance!! The employees were so sweet and bubbly, though! Interior was cute and super lively, but EXTREMELY cold LOL. Maybe that's why our food was frigid... Redeeming points: The water tasted good!! Not much more to say, just pretty disappointed! I've heard people really like it, even people I know personally, but I really cannot think about it much without feeling ill! I wish I was joking!! Plus, my sister was returning after visiting with our father, where she ordered a Reuben which was overall OK, but not really worth the price (as she reports!). Really unfortunate! Not sure if we will be returning, but we really did appreciate the kind servers and awesome environment!

A Fantastic Experience at Barrell and Vine! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Barrell and Vine, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and warm, with a cozy yet sophisticated vibe that made for a perfect evening out. Our server, Michael, was exceptional--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made us feel right at home and was quick to offer great recommendations. We started with the pierogis and bruschetta, both of which were outstanding. The pierogis were perfectly crispy on the outside, with a deliciously savory filling, while the bruschetta was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick off our meal. For the main course, I had the swordfish, and it was absolutely fantastic--cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. Everything about this place was top-notch--from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, Barrell and Vine is definitely worth a visit! read more

Stopped by Barrel & Vine recently and had a fairly average experience. The place has a nice atmosphere with a relaxed vibe that makes it good for hanging out or grabbing a casual meal. The menu had a decent variety, and the food was okay overall, though the flavors didn't stand out as much as expected. Portions were reasonable, but a couple of items could have been served a bit hotter. The staff was polite, but service felt a little slow at times. Overall, it's an alright spot, but there's definitely room for improvement!! read more

I only had a couple of drinks, so can only rate them on that. The place carries a huge selection of local beers as well as commercially distributed ones, so you aren't forced into trying local beers you may not like. I personally find craft beers to be overrated, so I am usually hesitant about places that force you into a corner for beer choices. The bartenders were killing it, as busy as it was. There were a few hiccups in communication with our server and the bar, but it may have been due to how rocking it was in there. I liked the vibe here overall and wish we had a place like this in my little Texas community.

I was in a party of 3 and we were the only ones in the restaurant, because of this there was no wait time to be seated. I noticed that the menu was a bit limited. Not many things to choose from. For our appetizers we got the spinach dip and the truffle fries. I then ordered the "Marry Me pasta", which is essentially a Cajun pasta. The other orders in my party consisted of the catfish with mash potatoes and Mac and cheese, and wings with the same sides. Everyone agreed that the food was a bit underwhelming. Despite the food being heavily spiced it still lacked flavor. Best way I can describe it is there was spices on the food but you can tell it wasn't seasoned properly. The service was friendly and I did notate how incredible the music was, but unfortunately we came here for the food and the food fell short. I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon.
