Overpriced, overcooked, oversold. Salads were not at all as described on the menu. Bread was to die for and the server tried hard and was adorable! read more

Great service from the bar staff and really enjoyed our conversation with our server with the Omega Swatch Watch.

Such an adorable restaurant with friendly staff! Salmon and galette potatoes were phenomenal! Best salmon I've ever had- hands down! Steak and mashed potatoes were also delicious. read more

We had been told the food was good here and agree! We split a Cobb salad to start which was delicious and huge. My husband had the risotto with scallops and loved it, and my truffle burger was amazing. The space is beautiful, white clapboard with tall ceilings, dark floors. Service was good but maybe too quick...perhaps because it's high tourist season? Our entrees were put in front of us before we'd finished our salad. And when we got up to leave the bus person was resetting the table before I even stood up. We felt a bit rushed but otherwise lived it. read more

Solid steak and seafood spot right off the water in Door County, WI. I had the shrimp risotto and it was pretty good. Had the bacon appetizer which was exceptional and my buddy had the pork chop, which I tried and thought was really tender. The decor is very cozy and comfortable and service is quite good. It's a little pricey for what it actually is, but it's a solid place to eat that I'd recommend anyone visit if you're in that area. read more

The good was, the votes du Rhône, chicken noodle soup,lobster roll, duck ragu, Greek salad, fries and mushrooms. The not so good was the sakura pork chop, mostly a fat piece of meat that wasn't tasty or very edible. Fortunately, the manager removed this 42 dollar entree which I didn't, couldn't get very much meat at all, wasn't very tasty. Our bill was almost 300 dollars after removing this entree before tip. Need to stick with the filet in the future for me. read more

Everything was exceptional except the Delmonico steak. It was gristly more than it should have been. Had it medium-rare, which looked good but the fat didn't render. My hand cramped while cutting it. The Duck Ragout had a lot of nice duck, noodles were al dente and the sauce flavorful. Their crème brûlée had a great crust, but was cool. I have had it both cool and warm and like it more warm. Rum soaked pineapple carrot cake had two nice layers of cream cheese frosting and an outer layer of vanilla buttercream. Came with candied pecans. The staff was amazing. read more

A friend and I had dinner here during my first weekend (ever!) in Door Co. It was an exceptional experience. The interior is very coastal and clean. Comfy wooden chairs. Our service was terrific as was the food. I ordered the beet salad special which was incredible + chicken. I'd been craving mashed potatoes and they truly hit the spot. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the scallop special and it was yummmmm! Scallops melted in your mouth. I was too full to finish and ended up taking leftovers home (which made a lovely 2AM snack after Hill St.) Make sure this place is on your list while visiting DC. Will definitely return. read more

Booked an online reservation for the first available time of 7:45, but arrived early and thankfully the host was able to manage the openings so we could be seated sooner. Every seat at the bar was full, all tables full--this was on a Wednesday night! We learned why once we ordered...Absolutely wonderful service, good drinks and the food... Highlights included the glorious shrimp cocktail--5 plump jumbo shrimp served on ice with fresh lemon. cocktail sauce and "Euro" sauce. So good!! I enjoyed the petite filet mignon--delicious and perfectly cooked--and the baked potato, which was sliced so it cooked up crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, then slathered in sour cream and chives. Mmm... My father enjoyed his beef stroganoff, with tender beef and button mushrooms on a bed of fresh pappardelle pasta. Delicious! Definitely hope to eat here again. Thank you, Barringer's! read more

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. . read more

My family has been coming to Barringer's for more than 10 years, and it has always been one of our favorites in Door County. We've always loved the chic yet relaxed atmosphere, great food and drinks, and the overall experience, which made our visit this year especially disappointing. In the weeks leading up to our reservation, I went back and forth trying to increase our party size as we finalized who would be in town. I left voicemails, messaged through the app, and even noted that we were celebrating my sister's birthday. The staff acknowledged the birthday on the phone and when we arrived, which we appreciated, but unfortunately the service throughout the evening did not live up to our previous experiences. The biggest disappointment was the attitude from the host stand. When a few members of our party came in last and asked where the party was seated, the response felt dismissive. Later, when several people at our table were uncomfortable because of the heat inside the restaurant, we asked whether there might be a fan available. The host rather curtly informed us that a fan was already running and that the restaurant had "always been open-air." I don't remember ever feeling uncomfortably hot there over the years or the servers being so rude. Service throughout the meal continued to feel somewhat detached, and despite the birthday note on our reservation, no dessert was offered. That said, there were definitely highlights. The bread was phenomenal--fresh, warm, and paired with a delicious (and very garlicky) butter. The cherry cosmo was excellent, and the other drinks were great as well. The risotto was flavorful, although the vegetarian version was surprisingly sparse, consisting mainly of risotto with just a few arugula leaves. The burger and fries were very good, and both the Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese were solid choices. Because we have so many wonderful memories here, it's disappointing to leave feeling like we probably won't return. This was the one reservation our family just had to have this year for our annual Door County trip, and unfortunately the experience simply didn't match what we've come to expect. read more

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. read more

Although we only sat at the bar for drinks and appetizers, we will definitely go back! The bar tender was attentive, the customers were lovely, and the food was terrific! Their bread is fabulous (kudos to the baker), and we enjoyed the calamari and raw oysters-but the beef bone marrow was our favorite. read 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. read more

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, read more

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! read more

Food was good! But disappointed by the lack of warmth! Usually when I go to a nice restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, the staff make it special in some way. I was there celebrating both my birthday and my engagement. When handed a dessert menu at the end, we asked if there was anything to celebrate those occasions and the waiter sarcastically responded with "you can buy a dessert and I can stick a candle in it". read more

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! read more

Everything was fabulous. Best restaurant in Door County! Delicious ribeyes and the brussel sprouts were our favorite!

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! read more

I am not one to leave reviews about a bad experience but......Incredible rude when called to change a reservation. There was no option to make online reservation for 5 people, so we made it for 4 and tried to called right away. The restaurant was closed so we waited and called again when they opened. I told the person that we have one more 10 year old child and the response was: " That does not help on Father's Day and you should have called earlier." I told him that they were closed and he then said..."well I went through all my voicemails and none were from you... I can seat you but I am not sure when that will be...." We are fine with that but he was so rude how he talked, felt scolded the entire time. We are long time visitors of Barringer's which means some of the staff know us and have never experienced this. Will not be returning. Very unfortunate...called back and cancelled ... same person appeared happy about it... total jerk read more

Overall the food was generally good but not great, and service was only okay. In general, service in Door county was disappointing over the Memorial Day weekend, but not for the reasons you may expect. Staff seem to have developed some ego, which makes dining in some restaurants unpleasant. We ordered wine with steak and waited quite a long time for it to arrive; we asked after it twice and by the time it arrived, the steak was cold. We didn't even say anything about having ordered a higher end wine, being served a totally different wine after having to ask after it twice, and then still being charged for the higher quality product. We just won't be back. Four stars for the food. Two stars off for the service. +1 for the general atmosphere apart from service. read more

Great food (calamari, steak cooked to perfection, sides yum), fast service, and price was worth it.

Barringer's you do not disappoint. As always, outstanding food and service. The warm bread and delicious herbed, garlic butter that says...oh just wait...there's more... The Lobster Bisque that said- hello, darling... The Grouper that had me swooning (honestly the best I've ever had) and the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken that made my husband close his eyes with delight on the first bite. We can't wait to return. read more

Sat at the outside bar for convenience and had a good time. Ordered the perch with fries and a side salad, and crab cakes with fresh asparagus. Perch was excellent, lightly coated and cooked to perfection. Crab cakes were enormous, two of them loaded with crab resting on a mild aioli. Asparagus was firm and plentiful. Warm bread with an herb butter kept us amused while we waited for our meals. Only drawback was sitting directly across from another couple on the other side of the bar as we ate. Felt like we were miming each other as we enjoyed our meals. Great place. Bring your wallet. Highly recommend without any reservations. Go early the place is busy. read more

My experience at Barringer's is living proof that you really need to read the Yelp reviews before you go somewhere. Other reviewers said it's expensive. That's true. But really only if you're having steak and steak in a resort town IS expensive. Other reviewers said that you wait at the bar beyond your reservation time. That's true. But I think that may be part of the "Wisconsin Supper Club" experience and the conceit here is that this is a part of the Wisconsin supper club scene. Most importantly, Yelper Jim K. Mentioned that the chicken noodle soup was amazing over several reviews filed over a multi-year period. Based on his devotion alone....I had the soup. He's right about the soup. Like VERY right about the soup. Have the soup. It's both traditional and interesting. I also had the rib eye medium rare with au poivre and a side of mushrooms. The flavors were exquisite hot and also the next day after 1/2 went home for left overs (portions are big) In my group, the seafood plate was also popular but pasta dishes and fish fry were not well loved and were noted to lack salt. Wine list was was good and at a forgiving price point. Cocktails were well-made. So, go, be relaxed about time...drink...have the steak or seafood plate. You'll be happy. read more

Our local cousin made a reservation for this place so we went with the flow. After looking at the pricey menu ahead of our reservation we remembered we were in Door County. Our group of six was seated near the kitchen which was less than ideal in this nicely decorated dining room. Upstairs would have been a better vibe. Otherwise the experience was very pleasant. The server did a good job though she was hard to hear over the crowded restaurant - she was a low talker. The warm bread and garlic herb butter was one of the highlights of the meal. A couple of us tried the lobster bisque and it was very good and we could actually find the lobster chunks in it. A few ordered the truffle burger and liked it a lot and everyone's was cooked correctly. I had the crab cakes which were tasty - lots of crab and little filler though at $42 was way overpriced. I know there are more reasonably priced places in the area which I would search out on our next visit. read more

READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! They are there for a reason. Worst service ever! Wait staff is unfriendly and uninterested. We waited by the bar for over 30 mins to before we were given the menus which were flung on the table. We were stunned. No eye contact or a smile. The 2 of us ordered the beef and veggie burger each. It took another 40 mins to arrive. When we tried stopping a waitress for an update - she bluntly said "no idea, ask the bartender. I don't serve your table". It was like do you not want customers?! Food was mediocre. Beef burger was too oily and tasteless. Veggie burger fared better. Fries were the best! Experience left a poor taste in mouths. WILL NEVER VISIT AGAIN. read more

I've been here 2x before. Food has always been delicious, fresh and something we look forward to. This time, we sadly dealt with very underwhelming service. We got there early, planning to get something to drink at the bar. We were told that if we sat outside, they'd take our order from the window. We sat for 10 minutes- occasionally waving to try to get the bartenders attention. The couple next to us were served almost immediately. When I tried waving one of the bartenders down, he put his hand up- in other words, to shoo me away. Eventually, the couple next to us realized we hadn't been served and told us to come over by them. The bartender rudely said "I'm not serving through THAT window." After we explained the hostess guided us to do that he said "well, I don't know." Our reservation was at 7:45, we were seated a bit past 8:00. We sat for a bit, with no server. Eventually our server came over and said "well I see we have drinks, are we ready to order?" We were a bit flabbergasted... as my drink was empty, we had no menus and no bread. It was a bit bizarre. I'm assuming they felt busy and understaffed. Anyway, my mom had gone early to set up some decor on the table for my 30th birthday and this being our babymoon. So, the servers knew that it was a special meal for us. However, we didn't feel we were treated well, even with the basics. The food was very good, as usual. However, we are disappointed the service was not up to par.. at all. read more

This weekend my husband and I were celebrating our 44th anniversary in Door County and chose Barringer's for dinner on our last night. We rarely order steak but after reading so many stellar reviews, we both did. Our favorite cuts are ribeye (me) and filet for my love. Both were cooked to a perfect medium rare. We each ordered crispy baked potatoes - his was loaded. I could not stop moaning during each luscious bite of my ribeye! It was the best steak I have had since September 2013! I remember because I've compared every one since! On that occasion, we were celebrating my birthday at Keefer's in Chicago's River North area and were sad when they closed the next year. My husband enjoyed his filet as well, but I didn't detect any moaning. We shared a bottle of Cakebread Cabernet, which has been one of our favorite reds since our first trip to Napa in the '80s. I had read the staff profiles and had a little chat with Grant, after reading he was from Chicago. Turns out we were born in the same hospital, although my entry into this world came many decades before. We will definitely return on our next visit. read more
