Karen was an outstanding bartender at Barrett's Waterfront. Friendly, attentive, and professional -- our drinks were great and service was seamless. She made us feel welcome and taken care of the entire time. Excellent experience thanks to her! read more

Very disappointed with the service, we went because I had received an email regarding the fajita special. Not only did we have to ask for menus we also had to ask about the fajita special. The bartender didn't even know about it. Then we were left with our dirty dishes in front of us for over 20 minutes and there were only 9 other people sitting at the bar. Poor service for sure, and the fajitas were disappointing, barely even a chicken breast. read more

Was recommended to go here to watch a game. The hostess was extremely rude, no eye contact or acknowledgment for almost 10 minutes with other guests piling up behind us. We asked to see a specific game & were informed they do not have Sunday Ticket & can only show 1 game at a time. The self-proclaimed "family-style sports bar," doesn't have Sunday Ticket? I heard good things about the food but considering how rude the hostess was & the lack of consideration for their guests, no Sunday ticket etc, those are all red flags for how this establishment is ran. read more

Great place to take the kids. Good pizza. Fun arcade and lots of tv's to watch the game read more

Hostess WAS VERY RUDE!!! did not say a word nor looking at us while we were waiting. She was at host area! Highly recommend not to go there. Go to Bridgewater or West Bridgewater professional hostess! read more

Haven't been to Barrett's Ale House in years because it wasn't as welcoming and clean as it should have been. We returned to see if there's been an improvement and I'm happy to say they have! We went in for the Greek pizza and the fish and chips. Jayda, our waitress was very nice and efficient as she was very attentive. The fish and chips were very delicious and fresh. A light batter, which I always look for and the pizza was amazing! Our first time trying this and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend. We will be sure to return! read more

Random night down south to get some ice roll but thought to bring the family for food before dessert. I love the Bridgewater location so why not try here? The server seemed to either not want to be there or didn't want to serve us but even my 14 year old daughter asked why was he so rude. Otherwise the food was pretty good other than the chicken parm egg rolls which were disgusting and overpriced. I sadly would rather try somewhere else if ever in town and hungry again. read more

Completely dissatisfied, 0 stars for management and server . we went here last night , 4 adults and 2 toddlers. Almost a full hour between ordering and actually getting our meals . When our server did actually come by our table again it was to say they were short handed (UGH) and our meals would be coming soon . After another 15 minutes the kids meals came out then 2 of ours . Lastly , a small pizza and my pasta came another 5 minutes later . My pasta dish came out looking dry , when I asked our server how long that plate had been sitting under a heat lamp she got an attitude with me and said " I don't know , I didn't go in the kitchen ". I send it back and foolishly expected a fresh dish but could instantly tell all they did was reheat it and stir it around , I don't know who they think they were fooling . No apologies? No manager, no break on the bill just arrogance so we definately " Will Not " be going back here . So completely disappointed. read more

Waitress was super friendly and personable. Had a smile the entire way through and made us laugh a few times. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but we ended up order shrimp scampi potato skins from the specials menu. Such a unique pairing, but the combination worked so seamlessly. The berry salad was presented beautifully. The colors really popped and everything was so fresh and delightful. Cajun pasta is an absolute must!!!! Available as is with chicken or with seafood. I opted for the seafood version and it was 100% the correct decision. So creamy and full of flavor, as well as loaded with shrimp and salmon. They do not skimp on the shrimp here! Unfortunately we were to full afterwards to order dessert but will be back for another round. There is also an arcade located inside which was loads of fun. Something fun for all ages. Ambiance is casual and chill. read more

The food was good especially the wings buffalo 5 starsss it is bussin ahhahahhahhahahaha but it is sooooo hot sometimes

We decided to go here as they advertised as a sports bar. Sports bars that I have been to in my years usually have ALL the football games going on Sunday. Well, not them. They only showed the two games on the big networks. We stayed anyway to sample their food. The clam chowder was average. However, we were taken aback, in a GOOD way, as to how delicious the Belgian Waffle pizza was. The Chocolate Chip Molten Cake for dessert was also nice. The service was average. read more

This Barrett's isn't as nice as the waterfront location, but they have a similar menu and their food has been pretty good as well. I usually split the boneless buffalo wings with my boyfriend and get a small Greek salad. Both are pretty tasty. They have an arcade inside, which is nice for those times when there's a wait and you have young kids, gives them something to do. All of their servers have been super friendly and checked in on us frequently. read more

This place is my old standby. Is it fine dining? Not even close. Will you feel great about your dietary choices? Not even close. You will probably hate yourself, but that is why we keep going back. I would never recommend eating here every day. However, the staff is always on point and one of the friendliest group you will find. Walk in the bar area and you will find loyal customers actually eating. That should tell you something about the place. They also have a sick Chicken Mozambique pizza-try it now. Barrett's is a better version of the ninety nine, but with arcade games. Oh, I forgot that part. Kind of destroys trivia night now doesn't it? Laugh at the decor, make poor dietary choices, drink some beers, and play some skeeball. You'll find out why Shaw's is empty, yet the parking lot is full. read more

You can tell there are a lot of regulars here. The bar area is huge as well as the restaurant space. Plenty of tables. Steve was our waiter. He was so sweet and got us our appetizers and drinks right away. We got nachos and mozzarella sticks. Very good! I wish I checked out their game room. Would go back next time I'm in the area! read more

We decided to order Take Out from Barrett's. Overall my experience with the staff was nice. Their order online site was not working so I called the restaurant and the hostess took my order. When I went in to pick up my food the place was crowded and again the hostess was really friendly! The menu had a lot of different items and I was impressed with the variety they did offer. The food was good. The pizza was a little hard to bite into but I'm thinking that might have been because I took it out and didn't eat it right as it came out of the oven. The other food was good and tasted fresh. The burger was huge! I would like to go back and eat in the restaurant. read more

Barrett's Ale House in Fall River. ... The restaurant was at half capacity. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. It arrived cold. Actually, literally, cold. It was inedible. I politely sent it back. I got a replacement. This one arrived half luke-warm and half cold. Unbelievable. These are pre-grilled chicken breasts. All they do is put it in the microwave, and still they couldn't get it right after two tries. Unacceptable. I sent it back, paid the check, and went next door to the supermarket and bought some food to bring back home and eat. read more

One star for the waitress, it's not her fault the food is horrible. I'll start with me, and the stuffed quahog from hell. Over cooked and hard as a rock. Picture a 3 day old bran muffin. I was chewing it like it was a pine cone. My boneless buffalo's were over cooked so much they snapped when they were cut. My grandson's over priced child's cheeseburger, you guessed it, over cooked, dry, no flavor. My granddaughter's grilled cheese, over priced and cold. Cauliflower balls or whatever they call them I thought were battered peas! I didn't know cauliflower came that small. My daughter got plain boneless chicken and that was decent. Long story short it was the worst hundred bucks I've spent in a long time. Tomorrow I'll eat at home and make a donation to the Jimmy Fund. read more

Today I witnessed the worst disrespect come from a manager today to the hostess working. Yelling at her in front of customers for something she had no control over. I was with a few people and she wanted to seat us upstairs and we asked to sit in the middle section. Long story short she got yelled at for doing her job and accommodating to customers asks. Very unacceptable behavior from a manager. read more

Good food Good service and the ambiance is great! I've been there a few times ! And I will go again

We used to like this place. Went last night and the food was not good. Burger buns old and broke apart as soon as you picked them up. Several small things incorrect on the orders. The topper is the two kids in the game room sitting at a high boy picking their noses, and bodies, not wearing gloves and wrapping silverware (not the first time they've been back there doing that when we've gone). It's actually really gross they do it out in the open. Probably better to have them doing it behind closed doors, pretty unsanitary. read more

Okay food and pretty pricey. Usually order take-out here. Most leftovers like salad won't last a day without turning.

I visited the waterfront location in Fall River on a quiet weekday for lunch with a friend. Our waitress was very nice and checked in with us often. Their drinks have cute names, food and dessert are great too! Would definitely go back. read more

We've been here several times, the food is descent, nothing over the top, basically your average pub food and the service can be a bit slow. The atmosphere is pretty nice, but generally, it can be very loud even when you are sitting on the dining room side. They have a pretty big game room with over 40 games.. I guess it's good for the kids??? Nothing I would have any interest in doing... The Nachos never seem to be served with enough chips, and I always seem to end up getting the Asian Sweet Chili Stir Fry (Sautéed chicken and stir-fried vegetables, white rice & Asian Sweet Chili sauce). It's usually pretty tasty. Though the last time I got that, it was EXTRA spicy and I didn't like it as well. read more

Hate to say it because i lives eating here but today was awful i know it wasn't the waiter he was great. I ordered steak tips medium/rare definitely came out medium/well the waiter was so nice about it but the manager told him to tell me they marinate them so they cook darker. thats literally not how marinades work i cook everyday poor excuse for not controlled environment. Gave me free dessert because steak tips are 32$ dont wanna lose oit on that money. Desserts cost pennies to make. Spent 94$ and still gave my waiter 25$ he should go to another restaurant where he could have better management. read more

Service is always amazing. Great beer list. Cocktails are almost always incredible! Food is so so. Pizza is great. Buffalo chicken dip is incredible. Wings are usually really fatty, but the ones that aren't are wicked good (breaded and fried wings, which isn't my fav but they are good). I've had some of the dinners (Mac n cheese, a few specials) not really impressed. Would definitely recommend but would recommend sticking with apps and pizza because that is definitely their best. read more

Depends on witch one you go to depends on the food served. Some are better that others in all categories of food,ambiance and service.

Everything we had was so good here. They do have gluten free pizza that was even good. Service was great. Even though we were the youngest most colorful people there we were not treated any differently. It was a very welcoming vibe while traveling to fall river/newport area.

Been here my fair share and on multiple occasions folks that came in behind my party were seated ahead of us. After being seated, then an additional 57 minute wait, our food finally came. Since Covid they don't have enough staff to accommodate. I'm still going to tip my waiter but I won't come back here for at least six months. In my 37 years I have never left a yelp review. read more

Waited about 1/2 hour to be seated. Had beer standing near bar. Finally Seated in bar area near the back. Waited 20 minutes for beer asked for water in meantime lol came with beer. Order tenders same time as beer got them about 15 minutes later. Music is good. Tvs playing sports. Celtics vs cavilers. Tenders got about six. Buffalo was at the right temp. Left your mouth hot but not to hot. It's now 8:15 and we are still waiting for our Entrées. Minute later We Got it. I had the tropical shrimp bowl and Scott had Mac and cheese w/ hotdogs. Mines was good minus the cabbage which was just doused with Siracha. ate all the hot dog out of his Mac And cheese and Took the rest home.Each had two beers. Blue moon & bud light. read more

Let's be clear right up front. I've been going here off and on since 2013. I've had great meals here. And I've been disappointed just as many times. Also, service is great. They are not the reason I'm reviewing. I know the cost of everything has gone up. I'm well aware. That having been said this place has finally reached the point where I don't feel the portions match the price. Of the 4 entrees we got, only the pizza was worth the price. Steak tacos were OK, but hardly any steak. Way overpowered by the other ingredients. My friends were disappointed in the portions as well. I fully understand the costs of dining out and doing business. But $18 for steak tacos with 4 small strips of steak is a bit much. It's aggravating. Probably for the business too. I just didn't feel I got the value for the meal that price was asking. Gonna be a while. Which sucks because I want them to be successful and the product was improving since the pandemic. Sorry. read more

Every couple of years, I give this restaurant another try because it is so close to home. Nope, I'll go another two years. Steak tip dinner, $26. ordered medium rear, came well done, broccoli was cold, mashed potatoes were warm. Waitress was great, cook is not. Meat advertised as 12 oz. Came as 5 small pieces. So many good restaurants in teh SE MA area, so I will continue to avoid this one. read more
