    Tostada
    Sue L.

    This review is for pick up. I've been to Blue Barn a handful of time and it never disappoints. Yes, their salads are always on the pricier side but their portions are big so I usually get two servings out of it. I called, placed my order and it was ready within 20 minutes. I noticed that it wasn't that busy inside even though I ordered around noon. I decided to order the Tostada and it was fresh and delicious. Loved the romaine mixed in with some ingredients including jicama, toasted corn, tortilla strips, cherry tomato. I also really liked their chipotle-agave dressing (on the side) and a slice of the herb focaccia. I would like to try their Thai Chicken Salad next time I stop by.

    Chinese Chicken
    Carly B.

    I absolutely LOVE Blue Barn! All of the food is so fresh and so delicious! I've only ordered takeout, however I believe the takeout is just as good as dining in. Their steak sandwich is incredible. The service is excellent even for to go orders. All the food is treated with care and has a great presentation. Their salads are HUGE, and I mean HUGE!!! I don't think I've ever been able to finish one! Since I've never dined in, I'm not sure too much about the ambiance, but I've heard from friends it's very welcoming and enjoyable. On the down side, it is a bit expensive. The salads are $18 and sandwiches are $19. A bit pricey. They also have a kids menu for the kiddos. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and I wished I had more dressing because there was so much salad in my to go box. By the way, their ranch is AMAZING with their tater tots or truffle fries. Highly recommend!

    Truffle
    Derek P.

    First off the vibes here are great. The interior is super nice and honestly thought it was kept super clean. The staff there is super nice and made me feel welcome for the first time. They also let me know their personal favorites. The truffle sandwich I got was so good. Perfect crunch from the outer layer of the bread but at the same time super fluffy. The truffle wasn't too overpowering and the ingredients were all super fresh. Overall great sandwich!

    U-Pick Salad
    Michele B.

    Food, service, and ambiance can be summed up by saying perfect, warm, mellow. I wandered into the Polk Gulch neighborhood by accident and found what I was looking for here: a lush green salad with tons of good stuff and a perfect amount of vinaigrette that was not overpowering. Plus they serve a few wines! I personally loved the sauv blanc. The rest of the menu looks interesting, healthy, and delicious. Music playing was perfection, and not too loud. It was actually music! Spoke at length to Annette about living in the area, some different sections/districts/neighborhoods with cool and fun vibes, and life in general. She is a delight and an asset to this community. On the first good weather day of our trip I am glad to have found this place just by taking a stroll. Win win win!

    grilled chicken sandwich
    Angela L.

    Ordered takeout for lunch. They had a lot of salad and sandwiches with build your own options. I went with their classic grilled chicken sandwich with avocado smash. Flexible customization to remove stuff you don't want. Bread is on the dryer side

    Sandwich
    Michael P.

    This location is fantastic. Placed an order for pickup today at lunch. Ordered the Buffalo Fry and some fries. Sandwich and fries both amazing and fresh. Food was ready within 10 mins for pickup so perfect for a small lunch window. Plenty of seating inside if needed.

    Clubber sandwich

    It's not bad. The bread on the sandwich is a little hard, but it's also crisp too. The turkey "clubber" sandwich was filling as well. Nothing outstanding though, just a solid sandwich.

    Wooo Jesus okay. Total was $26.51 for a U-Pick Salad. And no kidding, I know I didn't hit tip. And I look back and said I tipped. I go baby kale, ginger miso dressing, red onions, edamame, Parmesan cheese, sesame, seeds, croutons, with chicken. The take out box is about 5 inches tall with 4 inches width. And they just decided to dump the chicken at the top of the box without mixing it in. Honestly, now I see why people go poor.

    Thai Salad with Mary's chicken

    The salads here are all amazing - the Thai Chicken is by far my favorite! The salads are definitely ridiculously expensive but they're huge and very filling. The service is quick, but wasn't the most friendly.

    Tomatoes basil soup
    Emily W.

    Came here to try the tomato soup after seeing a Instagram video of a local for the Marina neighborhood that she was recommended by the manager to try the tomato basil soup. I was taken the order by Erin today, she was so nice; she has a great hospitality made me feel so comfortable as a first timer. The tomatoes soup were pretty delicious, I like the tartness from the tomatoes went well with a sense of pleasant taste from the basil. Definitely will come back for more of that and of course to get their salads! Thank you Erin

    Loved blue barn. The perfect spot for a salad and sandwich on a hot summer day. We got the fattoush salad and the clubber sandwich and both were great.

    aug 15, 2023 - UPICK Customized Salad; 5/5
    Fanny W.

    So tasty. So expensive. My favorite salad spot. Pros: + If you hate salad, Blue Barn will change your mind + Large portions + Quality ingredients Cons: - $30 salad What I Ordered: + U-PICK Customized Salad; 5/5 Mixed greens, arugula, sweet corn, red onions, pumpkin seeds, and steak ($10!) all tossed in their roasted garlic Caesar dressing. I cannot get enough of this salad.

I loved seeing all the other goods they had for sale; though they were pricey, the curation seemed very special and done with love and care. There's some seating outside on benches or the patio deck, and the employees were very friendly and easygoing. The day I went, the brunch focaccia was an artichokes, salsa verde, sundried tomatoes, red onion, arugula, and pepper jack focaccia that day, and it was delicious! they grill it fresh in front of you (takes about 5 minutes), and I'd recommend eating it as soon as possible for the best experience. The focaccia is so light and airy with the crispy crust, and their ingredients are so high quality with a symphony of flavors. Would definitely come back again for this, maybe to also try their paninis!

But I'm going to warn you against shopping here. 1) I have bought spoiled chicken from here. 2) I have bought various bad cuts of beef that not only fail to justify the premium price but aren't even as good as grocery store meats. 3) Most disturbingly, the sticker price and what they actually charge you is different. I have caught them multiple times so now I know they do this intentionally. 4) Also disturbing, the items on your receipt won't even match the items you buy. I don't know what accounting tricks they are playing but I'm done shopping here. I'm not saying all my shopping experiences are bad. But these bad ones make it not worth it to try again.

I've been here twice now and both visits have been satisfying. At this point I can recommend the Reuben and the Ham & Cheese on the sweet roll. Both sandwiches come loaded with meat and toppings. The bread is toasty and warm when served. Most importantly, everything in the sandwich taste fresh. I think I found my go to sandwich spot near work. Price is similar to most sandwich spots in the area. It's San Francisco so expect around $15-$20 for the sandwich. Luckily both times I've been here I didn't need to wait in line for anything. Service is efficient and the workers are friendly. I will be back for another sandwich!

I got the tri tip special with garlic butter and swapped the Swiss for pepperjack. The meat was sliced thin and really tender, and the garlic butter a perfect addition.
