HIGHLY recommended !! Wish I had ordered from here sooner. Got a BYO salad and the buffalo chicken sandwich both were off the charts. Fries and tots were top two Ive had.
the sandwiches at blue barn were delicious! my friend and I stopped in for lunch and ordered the truffle sandwich and the barn BLT. the truffle was flavorful but not too pungent, and went along great with the melted brie and turkey. I'd definitely order that one again if I came back. my friend enjoyed her BLT as well- she emphasized that the pesto is delicious. the service was very quick- you order up at the counter and they bring your food to you. we sat in the back area which was decorated to be very cute and barn-like. overall, it was a great place to stop for a quick bite! all the ingredients seemed very fresh and the sandwiches were very creative.
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!
I've been supporting Blue Barn since their days at Chestnut, which is now occupied by World Wraps. I already make great salads for myself, so if I'm going go pay someone to make a salad. They better be just as good or better since my diet is mainly proteins, vegetables and I carb cycle. Blue Barn is the only one of their competitors in this district that offers wild salmon and shrimp as options. Yes. They are the most expensive of this model in the neighborhood, but when it comes to nutrition quality and range of options. They are also the best and offer more. I hop around to quality salad bars at grocery stores too. Woodlands Market is great for that by the way. I think the best way is to completely customize your own bowl, especially since they do have seasonal rotations in addition. The service is always kind to me and the ambiance always clean.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
I die for my blue barn salad!! It's my go to whenever I'm in the area for lunch. Quick service and always a quality meal. Cute and casual dining spot I never get tired of. Try my salad! GF/Vegetarian friendly! Build your own salad order: Romaine hearts Red onion Cucumber Sesame seeds Black beans Sweet corn Scallions Parmesan Chipotle-agave dressing read more

We love Blue Barn and wish you would open one down in Los Altos. This was our second time dining in for lunch and once again, everything was delicious and the space is very relaxing and welcoming. Was a blustery June day and the tomato basil soup really hit the spot. My pal enjoyed the tea salad. read more

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! read more

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. read more
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. read more
recently went with a friend to blue barn to get a salad. I didn't realize that there was a zillion different kind of salads, after going from a pick your salad I finally decided on the Thai chicken. At first I didn't think much of it because of the packaging, but, it was enough to last me two days for lunch. The service was really good and came in a to go bag and the ambience felt very much like a ranch. Will probably go back in the future to try a different salad. read more

Blue Barn in the Marina is such a trip. Physically it looks like any other blue barn -- hipster rustic. Natural light on one area balancing gloom in another. But ah the ambiance! I get a weird glance from at least one customer each time I dine. I am not a skinny svelte Marina socialite. I come with no pedigreed canine accessory. I stand out in other words. Once it was actually rather off putting. Today it's hysterical. And the salads are great. Easily turned into a grain bowl -- yay. Not cheap, of course. I haven't tried a sandwich but the veggie options look seductive. I've been a loyal fan of the Thai chicken salad for years. Today exploring the detox mix of yummy things you can read about from the menu before you order one and come to the Marina! read more
We love Blue Barn and go there a ludicrous amount. But it's very worth it especially considering the portions easily make each salad two meals. All the locations are excellent but we are partial to Steiner where the staff is super friendly and accommodating. The move is the U-pick salad (a bunch of different ones pictured here). My only minor gripe would be that the seasonal fixings aren't created equal and I wish certain menu items could be offered year round. But overall a major favorite and head and shoulders above any other make-your-own salad joints around town. read more

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! read more
