We stumbled into Barrett's Grill while out shopping and chose it because of the strong reviews--and I'm so glad we did! It absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had the crispy Cobb salad with chicken tenders, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly moist and flavorful, and the mixed greens and toppings were incredibly fresh. Every bite was delicious. My husband ordered the waffles and loved them just as much. What really elevated the experience was our server. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Her service made an already great meal even better. Great food, great service, and a wonderful overall experience. We'll absolutely be back! ! read more

I don't often go out to Hunt Valley, but on this recent trip I stopped into Barrett's Grill with a friend for lunch. And I must say the food made me want to take another trip to Hunt Valley asap. Upon walking through the doors of Barrett's Grill you can admire the beautiful dining room space that was perfectly decorated for the holiday season. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive giving us time to mull over the menu a while. I ordered the Salmon BLT wrap with fries and was blown away by the flavor. The salmon was perfectly seasoned and blackened, and the peppered bacon was a great compliment. I typically ask for any type of sauces on the side, however, I forgot this time and was still happy with the honey mustard style sauce in the wrap. My dining companion ordered the fish of the day tacos, which was trout and she said they were really tasty. I will gladly say the Salmon BLT wrap at Barrett's is now one of my favorite bites and I actually would like to go back for another dining experience and to try some other menu items. read more

I am extremely disappointed by my recent experience at Barrett's Grill in Hunt Valley, especially after strongly recommending the restaurant to friends based on positive experiences I had years ago when I worked nearby. I attended a Mother's Day meal with friends and informed our waitress that I cannot eat pork or shellfish for religious reasons. After initially ordering the brussel sprouts, I specifically asked whether they contained bacon because many restaurants prepare them that way. The waitress confirmed they did, so we discussed alternatives and ultimately agreed the kitchen could prepare another dish without bacon. Later during the meal, while eating and sharing the dish with others at the table who also have dietary restrictions, I discovered pieces of bacon mixed into the food. I immediately spit it out and alerted the waitress. While staff apologized and removed the item from the bill, the issue goes far beyond the cost of a side dish. This was a serious failure in communication and food handling. Once a customer clearly communicates dietary restrictions -- whether religious or medical -- there should be safeguards in place between the server and kitchen to ensure the food reaching the table is correct. If this had involved a severe allergy instead of a religious restriction, the consequences could have been much worse. What made the situation more disappointing was the overall response afterward. Beyond removing the item from the bill, there was little sense of urgency or accountability from management considering the seriousness of the mistake. The atmosphere at our table completely changed, and the entire experience was ruined. Even afterward, service noticeably slowed down for the remaining guests at the table. I understand mistakes happen, but restaurants are judged by how they respond when they do. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below expectations. read more

Had gone here for a birthday dinner and everything was perfect. Although a little on the higher price range- service was good, all of the food was delicious and the atmosphere was intimate and relaxing. We've been for brunch many times but some things had fallen short- such as long wait times for food and cold soup. Luckily this was not the case but definitely want to try brunch again. Standout dishes were shrimp cargot and the filet topped with bleu crumble. Good for special occasions and date nights. read more

I so badly wanted to love this new place I tried, however 1st impression is everything. Aesthetically the food looks beautiful and amazing . However the food is overly salted. Someone in the kitchen has a heavy hand with the salt. It really took the pleasure away from enjoying the meal to be honest. The place is nice quiet and our waiter Kyan was extremely nice and gave us his recommendation his service was excellent read more

When I say I love Barrett's Grill, I truly mean that. This place has become my go to for the cute and delightful dining experience. The restaurant is always clean and maintained. The ambiance is perfect, especially for a cozy evening dinner. Upon entering, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The servers are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and always offer great recommendations. The food is ALWAYS hot and good. Fresh ingredients and well balanced flavor for my taste. This far always a wonderful experience when I dine and highly recommend you try this place! read more

Always a great place for wonderful service. I usually brag about the food, but the mussels and shrimp over linguine was not up to their regular standards. Both the mussels and shrimp were pretty small and unimpressive. read more

The food was pretty good! I also had excellent service. The ambiance is definitely steakhouse vibes but the menu has great variety. Appetizer: I started off with the hot honey buratta. It was as advertised, just hot honey on the burrata, all atop a salad garnish. 3/5, not wow but exactly what it described. Entree: I got the crab cakes! It was a work trip to Maryland and I just couldn't resist . They were very good! Very meaty and still a bit "creamy" in the center. There's not really a crust or extra filling so you definitely get your money's worth. Get the remoulade that is suggested with it. It was a nice accompaniment. I also got the coleslaw instead of fries. It was good, just wish it had a bit of seasoning. 3.8/5 for the entree. Drinks: I got their Margarita. I think it was a perfect Margarita. I'm normally a sidecar fan but these were delicious. 4.5/5. I'd definitely go back AND recommend! read more

Well, if fantabulous is still a thing, this is it !! Hubby, oldest son, and I visited Barrett's for dinner. I already knew what to expect because we visited 8-10 years ago for Restaurant Week and enjoyed. Since our last visit, I have been visiting their sister restaurants as I live near 1 and travel to the other. Both magnificent!! This location is no different!! Same ease of locating and parking. Great service is a standard, and quality dishes are a must. This evening, we ordered the following. Strawberry Fields Salad: Refreshing and fulfilling. Barrett's Bacon Cheeseburger: Perfect temp, delish, and fresh fries. BBQ Flatbread: A huge conversation piece. Hubby devoured half and took the other half for lunch the next day. He loved each and every ingredient. Hot Toddy: Amazingly prepared w Jim Beam Bourbon. It was very smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend to any and everyone w a taste bud!! read more

Have been in here 5 or 6 times now during a shopping trip or after a movie. The cocktails are really good. I have never had a bad meal here, and have done both lunch and full dinners. The service staff is always really on point. A little spendy, but always consistently very good. read more

Food was excellent. Crab and corn chowder was absolutely delicious. I had the restaurant week menu with Oysters Rockefeller(very good), Pork Ribeye(amazing), and flowerless chocolate cake(decent effort). My wife had the steak tip gnocchi which we both thought was excellent. My buddy devoured his Prime rib and his wife really liked her salmon. Service was friendly if a little spotty but there was a large party happening. I would definitely dine here again. read more

View this review from the lens of someone who was annoyed for the first 20 minutes of this experience. We went NYE with a reservation. After walking in we were told to wait another 15 minutes (in a space that was crowded with limited seating). After being seated it was another 6 minutes before anyone came to take drink orders. I had imagined a scathing review. It all turned around when our server arrived. She was extremely helpful, efficient and friendly. Barrett's was not out to gouge and had a pretty extensive menu. I had the oyster imperial and my partner the crispy Brussels sprouts. Lots of crab and perfectly charred oysters. The sprouts were fantastic. I had the pork ribeye which was tender and had a great chimichuri sauce. The scallop risotto was outstanding. Dessert was equally wonderful - peach cobbler and strawberry shortcake (which was an ice cream cake). The food was outstanding. Service was great. The manager came around to make sure all was well. It is a great spot to dine and we will be back. read more

The corn and crab soup is flavorful yet somehow light despite all the cream. Perfect amount of flavor without it being overtaken by the old bay. The shrimp and grits is my go to. There has been variance (I assume change in chefs) but this one is perfection. The shrimp might be ever so slightly overcooked. My granddad always enjoys their fish dishes and my younger cousins usually go for the French dip or blackened chicken pasta. read more

12.02.2023. After a tough 5 mile hike at a nearby park, I had worked up an appetite. We arrived after our reservation time due to a hiking complication, but the staff accommodated us with a smile. The restaurant was moderately crowded but the ambiance was chill. Feels like a popular neighborhood spot called Burtons Grill in Prince George's County. The menu had a lot of good options and the server shared that it's a scratch kitchen so we could modify the dishes as required. We ordered the butternut squash soup which was savory deliciousness & the cream of crab & corn which had a touch of sweetness. Their blackened shrimp & cheddar grits (no sausage) and Brussels were bursting with flavor. The textures were on point too. I boxed leftovers to enjoy later. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

Great ambience...great food! Crab crostini and crab cakes the best! Was passing through town and stopped here for lunch and was glad I did!

The food and service here were great. Enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. Expensive vibe but the prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend. read more

There were four of us celebrating a birthday. From the time we walked inside, all the way to our exit was a 5+ star experience. The food was fresh and incredible. The crab crostini appetizer was so flavorful without being too salty. Our entrees were, blackened chicken pasta, salmon dinner, bacon cheeseburger, and shaved prime rib eggs Benedict. Dinners were delicious because I tasted everyone's food. Lol For dessert we had fresh Berries napoleon, carrot cake, & apple crisp w ice cream. Desserts were so fresh, with portions large enough for sharing. Service was attentive but not overdone. Dominick was very knowledgeable about the menu, and made recommendations. A manager visited our table to ask how we were doing. Ambiance was nice. All around it was perfect, really. I would highly recommend this place. Give it a try! read more

We live this restaurant. In fact, we drive over an hour to eat here it's THAT good! Their crab soup is outstanding.

Great service. Super greasy. Plan for heartburn. I would stay to stay away from the fried foods. The calamari. The burgers. Of course with cheese and prime rib. But more than you'd expect. Everything is super saturated in grease. Maybe the flat breads. Everything seems dripping in oil. Squishy wet. Ask for bread. Service is amazing. read more

Barrett's Grill - Prime Rib Burger with Havarti instead of Swiss. - New American Near Me - Hunt Valley, Maryland

Usually when someone mentions food establishments that anchor retail hubs like "The Avenue" in White Marsh you think of and probably even a few name brand restaurants chain restaurants . Barrett's Grill isn't a chain restaurant but rather it is part of a local restaurant company. The restaurant menu is interesting but not in a usual way as it literally has something for everyone. Appetizers we sampled and shared were very attractively presented and also quite tasty. The Catch of the Day was a grilled swordfish steak. It was amazing, the Shrimp and Grits are served on a plate as opposed to a bowl. The grits were creamy and cheesy . The Filet with Maitre d' Butter was cooked perfectly. The dessert list was predictable but managed to make sure that there was again something for everyone. Mall food has changed, no more Orange Julius. Barrett's is a great place for a quick bite or a serious dinner. read more

We tried this place for a Sunday Brunch . Excellent atmosphere , service and cuisine. I had the Po Boy Shrimp and the crab soup and they were both great. As in most restaurants these days, the drink prices are high. A martini type drink was $13.00. The one crab ball appetizer was a bit costly $24.00. Beyond that , most of the prices are fair. It seems like all the restaurants are 30-40% higher over the past 4 years with portions getting smaller and smaller. The COVID - flation seems to be nonstop with everything. Especially restaurants and groceries read more

This was my second visit to this restaurant, and once again, the experience was fantastic. The first time, I came with my son and his godfather. I ordered the French toast, and it was absolutely delicious -- so good, in fact, that I didn't even need syrup! The whipped cream is made from scratch, which took it to another level. My son had the rib dip and devoured it -- I'm not sure he even paused to breathe! The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were well-seasoned and satisfying. On my second visit, I tried the pancakes. They were a bit too dense for my taste, but what truly stood out was the service. Our waitress, Michelle, was wonderful, and Vanessa, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure I left happy. They offered me something else that I ended up really enjoying. It's that kind of care and attention that keeps me coming back. read more

I like the atmosphere. You has a choice of outdoors or inside Outdoor had a decent view one side lookover the outdoor mall and shops in Hunt Valley. The other side looks is ar ground level of the parking lot of the Regal cinema. They restaurant was very clean and spacious. There were plenty of workers. Out waitress, Mary was very attentive. The only drawback to that was wait staff were working indoors and outdoors at the same time. The salmon was grilled and very delicious. It was moist and had nice and tasty grill marks on it. The French toast was good. We got without powdered sugar. The slices were thich and fluffy.the berries in season were good. Strawberries, blackberrie and blueberries . The pancakes wereplate sizes and had a good color to them. They tasted amazing. The sasusage and the bacon were good. U also had an omelet with spinach, tomato and onion. The omelet was very good but needed a bit of salt. The breakfast potaoes were crispy on the outside and delectable on. The ised with a great flavor. read more

We were there on Friday 3/21 with a group 6 and had a wonderful time. We had a private room and our server was a delightful young lady. Well versed on the menu and attentive. We all got something different. Generous French Dip sandwich, Ribs and Steaks. I had the Risotto with Filet Tips and my only criticism is not enough of that flavorful Risotto. I could have used twice as much. Bread Pudding and Warm Apple Cobbler for dessert topped it off. We had fun. read more

1. I arrived for a late lunch, the host was not very hospitable. He gave me an odd look as if he didn't want to seat me. 2. Talk about service recovery! My waiter was absolutely awesome. The entree he recommended was delicious. 3. Ambiance was really nice, I would have preferred a seat that wasn't facing the kitchen. Would be a 5 star if not for the host. He does not give a great first impression. read more

I had lunch at Barrett's with colleagues a few weeks ago, and it was pretty nice. The interior of the restaurant has a bit of a chain vibe (for some reason it reminded me of CPK), but the service was really good. The menu is pretty classic - a very American cafe/restaurant. Everyone else ordered a salad or soup and salad combo, but I went with the Turkey Rachel Sandwich - turkey, Swiss cheese, thousand island dressing, and coleslaw on marble rye. The quality of the ingredients was good and the sandwich was well toasted. Overall, not a bad place if you're looking for a classic lunch in the area, but ultimately nothing really stood out to me about Barrett's. read more

Three of us dined at Barrett's for a double birthday, brunch celebration. Terrific menu options - something for everyone. One guest chose the signature summer steak salad and commented how delicious it was. Another chose Eggs Benedict - which was cooked to perfection. The third opted for the golden waffle with fruit and whipped cream - Yum, and what a treat! As for service: Tyree was personable, and took exceptional care of us! We'd ask for him again when we return. For dessert we picked the carrot cake. Delicious - a little more dense and gooey than what we were used to - perfect for two candles and sharing. A nice way to commemorate the occasion. (A special note if you're considering Barrett's - A huge differentiator for this restaurant: We couldn't help but notice, all of the staff are happy and seem appreciative of customers choosing to dine there. It makes you glad you chose Barrett's and makes you want to return in the future.) read more

The service was because the waiter Zack took care of my family and a friend with such care and excitement! Also, attentively checking for our orders and taking our dishes away. That was truly high-end service with an ace of character to make everything delightful for us eating out. Elizabeth, the receptionist, taught me how to rate this restaurant. Y'all are having a bright upbringing for the young men and women here, along with the older staff who might have added to the experience. Of course, I'm going to talk about the food! It was great. I had braised short ribs as the main dish with a side of Mac and cheese, and the dessert was flourless chocolate cake. They both wore just what I expected. I would say the service took a bit long, and the food portion should increase per serving like the flourless chocolate cake was small for how savory it was. Though the mango sorbet was such a fabulous dessert, I'd say have neutral food options available for people who want a healthy approach to Barrett's grill and excluding the salad because they are meant to be healthy, like the option of the fruit bowl and Greek yogurt bowl. If it weren't for the immaculate service though, this would be a 4-star review. And for my Christians out there and those who are interested it's God who works the will and the deed for his good pleasure in your lives Philippians chapter 2:13 and when you do all things do it to please God Colossians 3:23. God bless you all who review this and I pray your life is more blessed even beyond the Barrett's Grill in Jesus Christ of Narazeth name Amen. read more

Close to our hotel I wish we would have found this place earlier...comfortable chic I would say. It would be an easy 5 stars but the service was a little slow/ Lax don't get me wrong the server was very nice and I think just had too many tables. Everything we asked for we eventually got. APPETIZERS the calamari was fantastic lightly fried with a little zing to it! The Thai chili sauce I didn't care for because I didn't feel it needed it my partner had the ribs and really enjoyed it I was in the mood for something different since I had eaten my weight in crab cakes and seafood for the majority of my trip. I had the French dip with Gruyère, mayo and horseradish au jus on a fresh baguette. I am glad I ventured out because it was THE BEST FRENCH DIP I have ever had. The meat so tender it just melted in your mouth you barely had to chew still thinking about it makes my mouth water so juicy and flavorful! If I lived here you better believe I would be a regular! read more

Girls Night Out at Barrett's Grill!!! All I can say is WOW!!! We started the evening with the pineapple passion martini, it was Perfection! I was a little disappointed with my fried green tomatoes appetizer. So our wonderful waitress suggested the mini crab cakes. They were delicious and completely turned my frown upside down! The braised short ribs were fork tender, I'm a huge fan of the onion strings. To top off this top tier meal, I chose the bread pudding for dessert! It was delightful, warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Don't walk....run to Barrett's!!!! I can't wait to go back! read more

The atmosphere was pretty enjoyable. The food was well done and very fast for being busy. However the food was very over salted on the calamari , the fries and the sandwich . Was very excited for the lobster roll which they didn't have as well. Everything seemed to be an up charge too for adding anything common to a sandwich. Prices aren't too welcoming as well for the experience. read more

Five-star service by Karlie on a stormy Baltimore night. Despite the gloomy weather, she was a ray of sunshine. I always order the Fig Flower cocktail when I come to Barrett's, but I was disappointed this time. I love anything fig, and this was not anything fig. The crab soup was OMG! The consistency of the cream was perfect, and the lumps of crab were abundant. Delicious!! Barrett's makes some of the best loaded baked potatoes in the area. I know what you're thinking......how hard can it be to bake a potato then load it up with tastys? Barrett's gets the perfect amount of sea salt and toppings. So good! The seasonal apple cobbler hit the spot with a cup of decaf coffee. The food is consistently top quality here, as well as affordable. Nice atmosphere and the service is always top notch. read more

I'm local to Hunt Valley and have been here a few times. First let me say the food is very inconsistent as well as the service. The staff is always friendly, but they disappear and basically ghost you during your meal. Especially if you choose to sit outside. Visited for brunch and the food was good as well as drinks. Although they did get the order wrong and had to remake my eggs Benedict. Overall taste was good. Tonight the service was slow and the food horrible. Ordered 2 drinks from the bar which were subpar. Ordered the old bay wings. No old bay and the wings were very small and they breaded them. Definitely the worst wings I have ever been served at a restaurant. I've had better wings from a gas station. The Mediterranean flatbread was edible, but cold when arrived to our table. Saw one waiter, who was friendly and personable who took our order then never saw him again and finally another server brought us our check. Overall, I was disappointed. read more

Their bartender John is the best in the business. Was a nice night out, great fare, and awesome service. Will definitely come back

After spending $135 for date night we were still hungry. Sooo yeah this is a solid 2.5 stars for sure, decided to round up to a 3 based on customer service and lobster roll. We ordered some appetizers, drinks, and an entreé. Let's start with the drinks. We ordered a double shot of Tito's with a splash of pineapple juice and an apricot martini. They both tasted like straight juice, no alcohol whatsoever. We paid almost $35 for juice not including the Rosé I ordered. For appetizers we ordered the shrimp cargot and coconut shrimp. Just a heads up the shrimp cargot is a small dish of shrimp and cheese. It's not a dip. The cheese tasted great with the garlic but the shrimp had a freezer taste to it. The coconut shrimp wasn't special, Outback's is better and you get more than 4 shrimp. For my entreé I had a lobster roll with fries. The lobster roll was pretty tasty, it was fresh and delicious. Our server, Mary advised me to get extra sauce on the side, great recommendation. I've had lobster rolls warm from different restaurants, this one was kinda cool or room temperature. I loved it this temperature. I almost forgot the cold and hard fries. If you order fries, well just skip them all together. Pick a different side! So as the other reviews mentioned, if it's your first time there you receive a complimentary dessert. I asked for creme brûlée but Mary said they ran out so she brought the fresh berries napoleon. It was pretty good, I mean it was complimentary so not a biggie. The biggest gripe for us was the cost and the food portions. We don't mind spending a few extra bucks for food but only if it makes sense. I could have went to Ruth Chris for more food and stronger drinks. Not sure if we would return. Make sure you read the reviews first don't just look at the 4 star rating like I did. I read the reviews after we left. Smh Our server Mary was great, this rating is not for her. read more

Always a decent experience. Good food. Nice variety. Staff very friendly and attentive. Had the filet mignon and it was done just right. Cooked properly all the way through.

Sorry it's been so long fellow Yelp!ers. I'm still eating out but didn't think reviewing my same-olds is helpful. So here my mom and I are at Barrett's Grill. What a great place! My mom got the mahi-mahi fish tacos with a side of broccoli, one of several including sautéed spinach (one of my favs usually), and an Arnold Palmer (my mom's fav). The tacos had a little spice kick and as fish of the day found itself in a few entrees. It's Restaurant Week, it seems, till Oct. 24, so yours truly decided on the special two-course menu of corn and crab soup (simply a dream!) and the salmon fettuccine with penne and broccoli. The light cream sauce was delish--really a great entree! Had an iced tea to cool myself off on this unseasonably 80° day. Seating outside in the shade was ideal. There are a few chains at the Hunt Valley Mall for sushi, pizza and bar food (Greene Turtle) but Barrett's is quite worth the trip to the mall. And the staff is great! read more
