Haven't been inside of this place in ages, think it was Dino's a while back. We got menus quickly, our waitress said after a while she would be with us. Looks like she's by herself for the dining area? They are out of Fish & Chips, likely from Good Friday for Lent patrons. I don't see any lobster Rangoon on the menu either. :( Waitress was able to take our order after 10 minutes of sitting or so. She said she would bring our food as it comes, since our two top table is too small for it all. Smaller menu than I would like, but a few thinks peaked my interest. Ordered crab rancini, beet salad, Mac & cheese, barrelhouse salad, feta on the side and no croutons. ~$85 The beet salad is quite good, beets are fresh and tender, the goat cheese makes this salad yummy. The barrelhouse salad is good, would be even better with goat cheese than the feta for me. The dressing is light, but flavorful. We were told after our salads was mostly gone, that they are out of the crab rancini, what in the world is up with the poor weekend planning. Argh. We will definitely be eating somewhere else after this place then. I had to ask for ground pepper after seeing our waitress take it from table to give it to another table. Pepper makes a salad for me, along with the dressing. Service here needs work to be sure. The Mac is just okay, the panko topping is crunchy. It is made with shells, cheese sauce is so-so, not as rich or thick as I was expecting though, almost too light of layer of cheese, thick layer on the top. The jerk chicken is tasty, but my first bite was half gristle. The pineapple tastes canned, water logged. The peas and carrots seems to be frozen or canned as well. The rice reminds me of Uncle Ben's rice, it's not so good. The rice should be made with fresh and better ingredients for the jerk chicken bedding, the chicken needs better trimming. We were told the chef miscalculated and there is one more order of crab rancini left. The crab rancini looks big, but it's a bit of crab and a lot of rice risotto as filler for the ball. I don't get much crab in the rancini, little tidbits mostly. Would not order the rancini again. It should just be called a risotto rancini. It's again a wait to get our bill.

We had a great experience at The Barrel House. The staff was super friendly and you could tell they all worked together really well which made for a smooth and welcoming atmosphere. The standout dish of the night was definitely the Ricotta Dip! It was absolutely delicious and a must try. My husband ordered the burger which was solid but pretty average overall. The fries were amazing and honestly the closest thing I have had to McDonald's fries at a restaurant which is a compliment in itself. I ordered the mac and cheese and really enjoyed it. It was creamy cheesy and comforting. Overall it is a really nice spot with great service and some standout menu items. We would definitely come back especially for that Ricotta Dip and those fries.

Jerk Chicken

Came here before a show at the Magic Bag on a Saturday night. Around 630 there was plenty of seating. They had plenty of TVs on with college football and some of the crowd was there for that reason. They have a great cocktail menu, the drinks were solid, and they have a good whiskey selection. I had the Short Rib sandwich (like a French dip). Only comment is I wish the horseradish sauce were stronger. Their fries here are EXCELLENT. The Jerk Chicken entree was good but my partner commented the fried rice was a bit in the sweet side. The menu here seems solid so I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm looking for some quick fare in Ferndale.

Good food. Solid service. Nice open concept. Not a huge menu which I appreciated. We'll be back to try more off the main menu. Happy hour T-F.

This is the former Dino's, the inside was renovated and about 10% nicer. Located just south of the main 9 Mile strip, very limited street pay parking, nearby pay city lots. They have roll up doors, mix of high tops and tables, a bar on one wall. Limited cocktail menu, and limited tap beer menu. Staff is nice, and fast.

Chopped Caprese Salad
Mark L.

My wife and I stopped in on a Saturday night. It was not busy. We split the Caprese salad, which was excellent. And, we split the short rib sandwich which was also very good. Good choice of roll on the sandwich. The portion size of both was good. They had beer on tap and a whiskey list. It was dark inside with the low lighting. There was a mixture of tables (high and low) for various size parties. There is a long bar area. We sat by one of the roll up doors on this beautiful summer evening. The service was great. The server was friendly. The food came out quick.

My friends and I wanted to check this place out as it's relatively new, and I'm glad we did! We came in for drinks and food on a Saturday evening, and we were able to walk in and get seated right away. Their menu is a good size -- enough options to choose from, but not too overwhelming. I went with the barrel burger (served with fries), and a Moscow mule to drink. We were served quickly, and everything was delicious!! I loved the atmosphere here too. It was relaxed, comfortable, and cozy. This place is the perfect addition to downtown Ferndale. I'll definitely be back!

Mac and cheese
Annie A.

This new restaurant is walking distance from my house so I was really excited to try it. It is decorated very cute and has a good ambiance. It was a nice day and the front of the restaurant was all open air. The servers were very attentive and our food came out fast. I would highly recommend the caprese salad but I didn't love the Mac and cheese- the crumb topping was a tad spicy for me. I am excited to come back and try more dishes.

I still like it here, but the acoustics really need to be fixed!. It's just too loud making it very hard to have a conversation.

Walking in, the black and gold nuances strike you immediately and sitting at the bar, watching each drink being made is really quite fun. Their cocktail menu is absolutely spectacular. What a wide range of choices with all the major types of liquor available in one form or another. My bartender developed the program and she was super knowledgeable about it. I didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment on that, but for a pre or post dinner cocktail, I can definitely say this was an awesome spot to come out to.

Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.

Every recommendation they gave us was excellent, but honestly everything we saw on the menu or walk by looked incredible. I had the sticky shrimp bao buns, edamame, pork belly ramen, the dragon roll, and the spicy tuna roll (shared b/c it's a lot of food. lol). Every dish was packed with flavor. The bao buns were amazing, the pork belly ramen was rich and comforting and such a large portion, and both sushi rolls were super fresh and really well done. One of the coolest parts is that it's a hidden speakeasy space connected to Tiger Lilly. You get the same incredible food menu but with even more drink options, which makes the experience even better. If you're going with friends and want to share a bunch of different things, this is the perfect place to do it. Everything we ordered was fantastic and it made for such a fun dinner.

Located in the back of Tigerlily restaurant, this space is fun and swanky. I love all the lights and decor. It has a speakeasy vibe and excellent tiki cocktails. The best Mai Thai I've ever had! The painkiller is creamy and delightful too! My friend enjoyed the Mamoru, which is like an espresso martini. They also offer refreshing mocktails. The Bulma is like a yummy spa water, with cucumber, jalapeño, lemon, and sparkling water. This place is also a great option if you can't get a reservation at Tigerlily because you still have access to the entire menu, which is amazing. I love the Shikotsu Roll! So flavorful with the wagyu, bone marrow, avocado, cucumber, shallots, garlic, and egg. The Tigerlily roll is also bursting with flavors and textures. The fried Brussels are so good!!!! Wow!! Almond, cashew, Korean bbq, and honey mustard mixed in with perfectly fried brussel sprouts. The Hibachi Lobster Roll Sando is fantastic! The Japanese milk bread is so tasty and the warm lobster is perfect. Comfy seating and just a wonderful atmosphere. My best friend and I had a wonderful experience here. We can't wait to come back!
