    Went to Barrel & Boards for the first time today and I throughly enjoyed it. My friend had not arrived yet and I waited inside sitting near the hostess stand. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Everyone was just so nice. Once my friend arrived we were seated and our waitress was FANTASTIC too. She made great suggestions and knew the menu well. The restaurant is the perfect setting to meet up with friends, family or date night. When the food arrived, it was excellent! I ordered the Barrel's Cobb Salad with aged oak barrel vinaigrette with one substitution of blue cheese that was switched to feta. This salad was so fresh and delicious, I could eat it everyday. There is an extensive menu and I cannot wait to go again to try something different soon!

    I'd suggest it's rare when traveling to find the unique combo of a local place that is really good on many levels. I walked into a packed house and it was organized, and lucky to get a quick table for two. Good bar menu, and a good sampling, printed and clear, of NA cocktails and beer, front edge stuff these days. They are quick, paced, not rushed. Kitchen is efficient. Order in, order out. Great selection focus on bacon and beef with seafood alternatives. This is family oriented, for sure at 6pm, can't say later. Servers fill drinks and water, quickly but not rushed, tables do turn here.

    Cobb salad is phenomenal

    Love that this place is right off the highway. Plenty of parking. I always sit at the bar but there are lots of tables in two big separate rooms. Bartenders are super nice and never ignore you. Food is excellent! I've had the Cobb salad which is phenomenal! Burgers are insanely huge and juicy and delicious. They cook them how you want too. Comes with delicious fries. The whiskey bacon cheddar burger is amazing with crispy onion strings, lettuce, cheddar cheese and this delicious whiskey bacon jam. Mmmm! Clam chowder is delicious. Pizza is pretty good too. My friend had the fish and chips and said he loved it. Tons of specialty drinks. Hook under the bar to hang your purse. Place is so clean including the bathroom. No keno but tons of tvs. Some outdoor seating. Reservation accepted. Love this place!

    I don't think I have ever had such a perfectly cooked and seasoned filet mignon in my entire life. The whiskey bacon jam took it to a completely different level! I could seriously spread that on everything. It's magical explosion of flavor!!! My husband was excited to see that there were Gluten Free Fish and Chips on the menu. He raved about them. His grandmother whom we were celebrating said she had never seen a NY Strip steak so big in all of her 94 years. Our server Jenna exceptionally handled our dietary restrictions and allergies. She personally saw to it that the kitchen staff understood the severity and took necessary precautions. She made sure our needs were met while maintaining a personable nature. The restaurant facilities are absolutely well laid out and tastefully decorated. The only recommendation that I would make is to put handicapped parking near the end of the ramp. We parked in the handicapped parking at the front of the restaurant. While it was near the doors, it required our 94 year young grandmother to climb a few steps. Barrels and Boards is a must-eat-at restaurant. We will be back!

    Scallops with asparagus and polenta

    Love the atmosphere in here . It was extremely busy for a Sunday evening. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar. My fiancé had the ribs gluten free with fries and coleslaw. He said they were good. I had the scallops with polenta and asparagus. They were delicious but they weren't hot . My dish was served like warm. Thankfully they were so good that I didn't mind that they weren't piping hot .

    This place was hoppin'! It's strongly suggested to make reservations, which we did, but we also were extremely early, and they were able to accommodate us just fine. So, reservations are encouraged, but likely not a necessity. We chose to sit outside, and we're surprised that more people weren't. Although, this is New Englan, so, this shouldn't come as a surprise. There was no shade from the sun, so that might be part of the issue. Suggest some ivy latice wall and canvas roofing, or, at the very least, some adjustable umbrellas. 4 Stars Aside from the ambiance, everything else was rather good. The drink last was extensive, and low and behold they had Moscato for my girlfriend! And the beer list had at least three or four I hadn't tried. So 5 Stars The food, to start was good. We tried the tuna tartar with fried wanton chips. Great flavor with a hint of spice that made it stand out from other similar dishes in Massachusetts. Next was the lobstah wonton. These were served cold and open faced, which was a great change. No heavy cream cheese filling, but pure lobster. Great 2nd dish. Our final choice was the seafood tower. And this is where the quality started to dip. For something that offers snowcrab, oysters, clams and shrimp, only half was really enjoyable. The legs should have come with claw crackers to start, and we're served cold instead of warm. interesting choice, but still good. The oysters were meaty and good. But the shrimp were over cooked and rubbery and the clams didn't seem fresh. We didn't complain about this, but just made out waitress aware when she took the food away. Desert was good, the bacon waffle combo is fantastic, and alerting the ice cream to melt into the waffle makes for an amazing bite. 4 Stars. Morrissa, our waitress was friendly and a joy to have a server. overall a good dining experience. we likely went too heavy on the seafood, and that was our doing, but quality seemed to en and flow throughout the meal. Would be willing to give this place a 2nd chance.

    Fish and Fish & Chips
    Stef S.

    We finally made the 40-minute drive to Barrels and Boards after waiting forever to try it. When we arrived, we were seated right away, which was a nice start. The atmosphere inside was great--plenty of TVs and a good vibe. I ordered the King burger cooked medium, but it came out overcooked. They remade it, but unfortunately, it was overcooked again. At that point, I just gave up and ate French fries for dinner. I left hungry and ended up eating almonds when I got home--not exactly the dinner I had in mind. The fish and chips was great. My wife finished her dinner before my second burger even came out. My cosmo was great. I was offered another but just so hungry, I turned it down. Our waitress was wonderful--friendly and attentive--and the staff did comp our bill, which I appreciate. But after looking forward to this experience for so long, it was just really disappointing overall. I know they tried to make it right but timing is everything. A second burnt burger after my wife ate just isn't acceptable. 2 stars for the service but the food was 1 star for me.

    New Bedford stuffy
    Diana L.

    As others have mentioned, it's nice inside so it's good for the special occasion, but it is expensive for what you get. My fiancé found the restaurant to treat his mom for a birthday meal. We were running errands in Boston and they live in New Bedford so it was somewhat of a midway point. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We started with a New Bedford Stuffy for each of us, which was good...but not worth $9 each aka $36 for one appetizer type amazing. One of their daily specials was a Tomahawk steak, so we ordered that in addition to his parent's entrees, but the steak needed 45-50 minutes to cook so they also had to wait for their meals. Tomahawks are good, but so much of the weight is in the bone and the presentation, so I'm not sure that they're quite worth the money either. The asparagus that came with it felt overly greasy, but the potatoes were good. Towards the end of our meal, a large birthday party was getting seated in the same room we were in, and it got quite loud. I can't imagine the volume and how tough conservation might be with a full restaurant.

    B&B Steak Tips

    As often as I drive by (the bf lives down the street and I drive by all the time but never stopped in) We went on a Friday night and OMG this place gets busy - considering the area I was shocked at how nice it is inside actually. From driving by I expected just a regular place and its really nice. The food was OMG GOOD... The portions and options are crazy. The menu is big with lots to choose from. I was torn on which Shrimp dish to get the Mozambique or Scampi and I was slightly wishing I went with the Scampi. Ill def try it next time. The bf cannot eat Pork and because of that I feel there was lots we had to avoid, but they were able to make the Brussels without which was a great thing. Will def go back to try many other things that caught my eye!

    The candied bacon skewers were delicious-would recommend getting them. Fast and good service!

    Great place for drinks and snacks! Atmosphere is great, they have some street options but the front bar is great floor to ceiling windows cozy bright seating. Back room is great, quiet, intimate tables. The drinks are next level! The snacks are really tasty, must try with those tasty drinks! The service was excellent, attentive and spot on. Never waited for a thing but wasn't hovered over either just great service.

    What a cool place! They have a huge wine , beer and my favorite whiskey list! I got a B&B whiskey flight and my wife had the raspberry mule which waa delicious! Can't go wrong with the calamari which was amazing! We definitely will be back to try other dishes and drinks! Cheers

    My wife and I have been fans of La Familia for years. The Cumberland, Rhode Island location has…read morebeen our special place for anniversaries and Valentine's dinners, so we already knew how wonderful their food and hospitality could be. Today we had the opportunity to visit the Taunton location for a bereavement luncheon after a family funeral, and I was truly impressed. The luncheon was held in a beautiful private room upstairs that was set up perfectly for our gathering. Everything was elegant, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The meal was served family-style buffet, and every dish was outstanding. The quality of the food was exactly what we've come to expect from La Familia--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly welcoming and attentive to everyone's needs, yet never rushed our group. Considering the emotional circumstances of the day, their kindness and professionalism meant a lot to all of us. And I have to mention the bread--whoever makes it deserves special recognition. I would happily buy a loaf or two every week if I could. A sincere chef's kiss to the entire establishment and especially the function team who handled our event so beautifully. La Familia continues to prove why it's such a special place for our family.
