    Back patio seating
    Shivani M.

    Cute spot to stop for lunch! Good size sandwich- I got the burrata sandwich and it was so flavorful and filling. Everything tasted fresh. There is a lot of seating in the back and the vibe is casual/rustic. Would come again!

    Spicy tuna salad

    Nice salad and sandwich spot on Chestnut. Pretty darn expensive. I got the Waldorf salad, which surprisingly doesn't have chicken, so I added grilled chicken. That was $7. I also got a canned soda pop which was, $5. Here my total reached $34. I planned to leave a cash tip, but forgot to push no tip, and the lowest amount was $5.75, so my total ended up being $40. This feels like a lot for a salad and soda. The salad was a pretty good size and it came with a piece of focaccia. My friend got the spicy tuna salad, which looked good and the tuna was tasty. You take a number and they bring it to you. Kind of took longer than I expected, but maybe that was because I added the chicken.

    Kale Caesar with chicken

    I've dined at Blue Barn a handful of times now for both dine in and take out. The salads are generously portioned--arguably too large for one sitting--and can run over $25 once you add a protein. Price point aside, the salads are loaded with fresh greens and veggies. I enjoyed the Spring salad twice on my recent visit to SF. The combination of spring beans, shaved fennel, radish, pine-nuts, and crispy quinoa was just right. That being said, the added proteins could use some improvement. The chicken was overcooked on both occasions. Others in my group ordered the turkey sandwich, tomato soup, tater-tots, and fries. I sampled them all and personally find that Blue Barn stands out for their salads. It's a good option for a quick and casual meal.

    Was able to seat a party of 9 for lunch today. The food is extremely fresh and flavorful. Grabbed the big buffalo and fries. My friend grabbed the buffalo fry. Everyone enjoyed the food in our party. Only reason for 4 stars was that someone forgot to order fries and we asked if they could bring some fries. They said we would have to go up to the counter and pay for the fries. Seems like after our party spent a few hundred bucks they could get us a bowl of $4 fries. Either way, great food, service was great, we will be back.

    Thai Chicken Salad

    Came here on a Monday night for a quick dinner and was sad to find out they no longer did their buy 1 get 1 salads. ( I think it was just a September promotion) Nonetheless, blue barn salads are worth the price and the service is very fast. You order at the counter and choose your own seating. I really enjoy their enclosed back patio. The salads are flavorful and the size of a small mixing bowl. Definitely recommend giving the spot a try for lunch or a casual dinner.

    Went over to grab some dinner at around 6 pm and I liked that they had a giant menu near the door. We ordered at the cashier and they gave us a number to know which table to bring it to. The interior was very modern, light and spacious with a cute seating area in the back of the restaurant. We had to grab our own utensils and water as well as clean up afterwards. Big Blue Sandwich - They ran out of caramelized onions so I didn't get the full sandwich but it was very good nonetheless. The ciabatta was crunchy but soft on the inside and the steak was tender in medium rare. The red pepper romesco aioli was flavorful, a combination of sweet, smokey and creamy. The only thing was that the blue cheese was in very large chunks sometimes. Being that it was $18.95, I thought the sandwich would be a little bigger and more filling but it had great flavor and next time, I will need to check out their salads.

    Burrata Sandwich
    Alyssa P.

    Blue Barn's Burrata Sandwich is my favorite sandwich of all time! Their pesto aioli is incredible, and goes so well with the fresh tomatoes, arugula, and burrata, all on a a delicious ciabatta roll! They also offer salads, which I have heard good things about. But definitely try the Burrata Sandwich, and it's a bit cheaper than their other menu items which is a bonus too!

    Cobb Salad
    Alexis S.

    The Cobb salad was great! Generally a bit pricey (with an extra charge for a different dressing on the side). Probably wouldn't do takeout here, but the ambiance inside the restaurant was nice. Mixed experience with the service. Overall, would be happy to return!

    Buffalo fry sandwich with side of fries
    Amy Z.

    Have heard a lot about blue barn so I was excited to try it for a quick dinner. The buffalo fry sandwich was delicious! The fries are also super thin and crispy. The Thai chicken salad is solid but the sandwich was more flavorful. It's a little on the pricier side but the interior is clean, food was great, and service was kind. Good spot for a quick meal if you're in the area!

    Waldorf with grilled chicken
    Karlee J.

    Don't get me wrong, their salads are delicious but $20 is too pricy!!! The Thai chicken l, Cobb, and Waldorf are 3 I have tried and really liked. Lots of seating both in their back patio and parklet. Service is quick. I personally love counter service style restaurants for a more casual feel. Overall love the salads and fresh ingredients but don't love the price!

    Turkey sandwich
    Hope L.

    I got the turkey sandwich and it was good! I liked how thick the goat cheese was and the tomato-pesto aioli was delicious. I gave it a 4 stars as the service wasn't that great as you order at the front and have to bus your own table but they still charge a 5% service fee.

    Came to Blue Barn after a long day of travel to San Fran & this was really one of the biggest Caesar salads I've had in my life! I got the kale Caesar and it was amazing. I did ask for an extra side of dressing as my friend said sometimes there is more salad than the amount of dressing you get for it. Our friend got the skirt steak sandwich and was also raving over it. This place was great! We did an online order for pick up.

It was a bit spicy. The beet poke was an interesting combination - I'm impressed they were able to capture the essence of poke! The spicy sauce pizza was good - you can't tell it's vegan at all. The restaurant was very cozy and intimate. The staff were all really friendly! The food came out pretty quickly.

I realized I had not added seating accommodation to my reservation and tried to call, but no one answered. When we arrived, the hostess told us we would not be able to sit in any of the currently empty booths because reservations were coming in later. We were seated at a table off the dining space near the kitchen, my mom was a little too chilly and the booth didn't have enough neck support. I expressed to the host that though I was sorry I had forgotten to add accommodation, that this was just not the way to handle the problem. I was able to speak to the manager, who had been outside taking orders and was clearly working very hard that day. (Her name is quite uncommon so I'm just going to call her M, but I really appreciate your help!) She asked me what my concern was, and I told her, at which point she asked me to wait nearby while she figured out if she could rearrange some tables for us. The bartender was incredibly kind and served me while I waited, and distracted me from imminent tears by sharing intricate details about each drink he was making. I learned do they have a myriad of health oriented cocktails, with ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and aloe liqueur. The manager returned and said that she had already seated my mother in a new space and escorted me to the table, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the meal. At the beginning of the menu, they list the ingredients that are currently in season, and at the back of the menu, there is a color wheel, telling you the benefits of the colors of food. (Purple foods can assist with memory and brain function!). We ordered the asparagus, which was in season, spicy cucumber, and the Aji grill for two. The tofu that came with the grill for two was my favorite thing that we ate. I think you can judge a vegan / vegetarian restaurant by their treatment of tofu. Perfectly seasoned with a crispy outside and I would come back just for this. The cauliflower steak was also pretty tasty. The cocktails are excellent, we tried the BLACKPINK and my mother tried the espressotini and we were really happy with both. I don't know how popular their bar scene is, but I imagine it would be a nice way to meet other vegan and vegetarian folks over light bites. Our waiter Daniel made sure to give us the Mother's Day special dessert the restaurant had created, which was an avocado Grenache with fresh berries. If the experience had started with less stress, this review would be five stars, but I'm very grateful to the staff for doing what they could to correct it and ensure that we had a great Mother's Day! I would love to visit again and update my review :)

    Rooster & Rice is a chain with multiple locations serving up Khao Mun Gai (or Thai style chicken…read morerice), but my most recent order with them really fell flat. I ordered "The Original" with jasmine chicken rice, extra cilantro, cucumber, chicken skin (love that those are free add-ons), and an egg, and while the bowl was fine, all of the flavors felt like they could've been amped up several notches as everything leaned pretty bland and one note. I even swapped in the ginger scallion sauce, usually my favorite with Hainanese chicken, but it still fell flat and didn't bring the dish together the way I'd hoped. The dark meat was okay, if under-seasoned, but the breast meat was honestly pretty rough as it was extremely dry to the point where I was chasing each bite with water just to get it down. I added the chicken spring rolls as well, which were poorly wrapped and fell apart after a single bite, and they used the same overcooked white meat, making them basically inedible. If this is the standard for their white meat, I really think they should either stick to dark meat or make it clear that dark meat is an option without an upcharge. That said, my order was ready right when I expected it to be, pickup was smooth, and the staff were very nice and friendly, which keeps this from dropping lower in rating as I'm likewise hoping this was just an off night.

    Wasn't too busy on a Friday for lunch. Order came out Quick. Chicken was moist, the ginger sauce…read morepairs well with the rice and chicken.
