    Met up with a friend here for lunch. They don't have many GF items listed on their menu but it says they can make most dishes GF. I opted for a simple salad and it was delicious. They also have mocktails in which I ordered the lavender lemonade.

    Every time we are in Fish Creek, we make sure to step in at Barringer's. From the white tablecloths to the perfect dirty martini with three olives, our dinner was nearly perfect. The slightest problem occurred when I ordered a lobster salad and it was supposed to come withdrawn butter, but it came with what I perceived to be and tasted like, olive oil with herbs. Not good. I let our server know any quickly replaced it with warm drawn butter. The service is always fantastic. The atmosphere can't be beat. If weather permits, have a drink next to the outdoor fireplace. We will always come back here. If you are looking for a wonderful restaurant with amazing ambience, you can't go wrong with Barringer's. .

    Farmhouse modern chic! The inside is straight from Joanna Gains playbook. The bar is adorable. It would be a fun modern place to grab a drink with friends. The outside area was really pretty and well kept. The warm bread is delicious. I had the fish fry which was flavorful and crispy! They do have a kids menu and mine has the grilled cheese with fries. Honestly fantastic. Would have had this myself we made a reservation online but it wasn't too busy when we were leaving around 5:30.

    Lobster roll

    Great service! Delicious food, had the 8 ounce fillet, medium rare, home style potatoes (truly delicious), caprese salad , delicious fresh tomatoes with mozzarella, lobster roll and cherry bramble. Barringers is our favorite dinner place in fish creek.

    Lobster Roll and Crab Cakes.
    Space Cowboy G.

    Longtime Door County visitors. First time at Barringer's. Wow. What a Great Place. The Lobster Rolls and Crab cakes were amazing. Service was outstanding. Fresh bread with whipped cinnamon butter, Excellent. The Bone Marrow was on point. Generous wine pours. The OF's were pretty good. Next time maybe a large rock of ice. We will definitely return. Grade A+.

    Short rib melt with fries

    We stopped by to have a quick snack so we split the short rib melt. After the first bites we knew this would be a new regular stop for us in Door County. The meat was tender and the entire sandwich was well balanced and worth the price. Our drinks were both memorable and we will be back. Beautiful location and the patio is a must when you are in Fish Creek. Cannot wait to try more!

    Stopped for my wife's birthday dinner and had some great food. We started with the Tuna Tataki appetizer which was amazing. I tried the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Shrimp which was not only amazing flavor it was super filling. My wife did the Grilled Chilean Salmon and loved it. It was super busy yet our waitress was super nice and was very attentive. Loved it and we'll be back soon.

    I recommend chicken soup. It was one of those dishes that made you slightly sad after each spoonful because there was less to eat. For my entree, I ordered the chicken and pastrami rueben. It was a solid sandwich. The whole time I was eating it, I was looking at my niece's lobster Cobb and thinking, boy, did you mess up by not getting that dish. I had total plate envy. The service was good, and the fact this place was open in February was a bonus. I liked the ambiance of the establishment. If I ever got north again, I would have to try the lobster, Cobb,

    This is by far the best dining experience. I've eaten here many, many times and it never disappoints.

    Ribeye with mushrooms

    Barringer's is one of our favorites in Door County! The aesthetic is very California - clean, modern, white and airy. It's a comfortable place to grab a drink or have a big dinner. On our last trip we sat at high tops with a view of the bar and the outdoor fire place which was great on a cold November night! We started off with the seafood platter (small) which comes with oysters, shrimp, smoked mussels, smoked whitefish dip and pimento cheese dip. It was a great appetizer but a bit too much food for just 2 people! You can't go wrong with the specials, over the years we have loved their fried chicken, lobster Mac and cheese, and most recently the ahi tuna over wasabi mashed potatoes. The crab cakes are also great and you will definitely get a steak made right at Barringer's! Highly recommend stopping in for great service, atmosphere and surf & turf options!

    Pleasantly surprised after a slightly rocky start. We arrived on time for our 8pm reservation but just after another gentleman walked in to pick up a to-go order. The hostess went to check on it and was doing various tasks around the kitchen for several minutes before returning to let him know they were just boxing it up. Then she finally acknowledged us, took another several minutes to consult the seating chart, the 2-4 empty tables in the area, and make a decision on where to seat us. After being seated we waited about 10 minutes until a waitress came to our table. Luckily after this point service picked up and was nicely attentive. We were enjoying the decor but the music in the dining area wasn't cohesive to the atmosphere, more so to the bar across the restaurant which was bustling. We ordered half salads to start - the Cobb was a meal in itself with huge bits of blue cheese crumbles, a generous helping of crispy bacon bits, and thinly sliced red onions (thank you for thin!) as well as heirloom tomatoes and avocado. The tarragon ranch was tasty, very thick and not super tarragon forward. My cousin got their simple salad with large slices of manchego and a delightful light lemon vinaigrette. For mains I had the baked cod which me being on keto was a perfect solution to friday fish fry cravings. It was flaky, moist, and the Parmesan crust gave me that crunch I missed. This was the first time I've eaten cod and enjoyed it without slathering in tartar sauce. The asparagus was grilled perfectly with nice char and tenderness. My cousin had the lobster and crab stuffed shrimp which were generous in everything- big pieces of lobster and lump crab with barely any binder atop plump and tender shrimp. All in all a delightful experience in the end thanks to some stellar food!

    Perch dinner & an old fashioned.

    Lovely restaurant in Fish Creek! It has great ambience. It is busy, so make a reservation. Everything ordered at our table was delicious and perfectly prepared. We loved the chop salad and the bread. The perch dinner and crab cakes were highlights! The servers were attentive, friendly and helpful.

We selected this place for my birthday breakfast because of the vegan and gluten free menu options available. Upon arrival however, we're quite disappointed to find out the menu online was not what they had available. Thus there was only one option available that was safe for my son. What we did end up ordering was great and fresh. We made adaptations to accommodate our dietary needs and it was still delicious. My final complaint is that our waitress was off putting. It felt like we were doing everything wrong (made reservations that don't matter apparently, looked at the wrong menu online, clarified that a menu item was dairy free, etc.). She was condescending and it was quite uncomfortable to relax and enjoy. Food gets a 4 (would have been a 5 if their menu was more inclusive), service gets a 2. Landing at a 3.

    A fantastic experience! My husband and I had a wonderful time going to Pelletier's fish boil!…read moreGetting to see the process of the potatoes, onion, corn and Lake Michigan native fish go into the pot with a fun history was a unique and fun experience. Everyone enjoyed their time on the patio seeing the boil itself before going in to enjoy the outcome. My husband immediately said that it was the best fish he'd ever had, and was shocked that it needed no extra seasonings or sauces. The salt that was used and the cooking process itself brought out incredible flavors in the fish and sides. The owner takes so much pride in his work and is excellent interacting with his guests! There is a lot of indoor/outdoor seating but you should call to make a reservation and get your name on the list! You have to get there about 45 minutes early before "the show" to get your ticket, which is no issue. There is also an option to choose from over a dozen other entrees if you're not interested in seafood (I saw a vegetarian option too), as well as a kids menu. The non-alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket but there is an option to purchase local and big name beers as well. The cherry pie at the end is the chef's kiss! It was such a perfect addition to our trip, even people who brought toddlers had a fun time with their kids. We'll come back to this fish boil every time we visit Door County!

I should have opted for the smaller portion because the regular portion was more than I could consume! It was over a pound of fish! The master boiler has been doing this for over 40 years so it must be a great place to work! That says a lot for a business these days. Dining options are indoors or outdoors, and we opted for outdoors the bread was a little disappointing as it was just sliced bread and not rolls. It includes a soft drink, which is a nice touch and of course, the cherry pie. It would be nice if there was seasoning on the table is a little bland.
