First and foremost, the quality of the food stood out. We started with water -- we don't drink out of plastic, so Hailey was kind enough to bring our table water in glasses. I also asked for a lemon wedge, not a slice, since you can't squeeze a slice. Next came our espresso martinis, one for each of us. We actually felt the bang for our buck -- strong, well-balanced, and worth every penny. For our appetizer, we shared the gluten-free BBT meatballs. It was delightful. Then our Cobb salads arrived, each with shrimp added. We requested a side of extra-virgin olive oil -- not a blend -- and the kitchen got it right. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake, minus the graham cracker crust because my friend is gluten-free. I would have preferred the kitchen plate it for sharing and provide dessert silverware with it, instead of us having to flag someone down. I'm also industrial seed oil free, and Hailey was attentive to both of our dietary needs throughout. The manager, Chris Nichols, stopped by to check in and ensure we were satisfied -- a clear sign the restaurant is customer centric. I actually thought Chris was the GM. Kudos to the general manager, Ben Lano, for inspiring great teamwork. Lastly, I give the ambience four stars, simply because we don't have a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ohio. read more

We dined 07/24/2026. We group of almost 20 for a birthday celebration. The restaurant was very busy but the service was amazing. Our reservation was 07:15pm and we were greeted and seated promptly. The servers were spectacular. They were very attentive and paid close attention detail. The servers made sure we had beverages at all times. Now on to the food and drinks. I had the espresso martini it was of the best I've ever had. For dinner I ordered the catch of the day which was a seafood linguine and it was good little spice which elevated the dish to new heights. I also had the spinach dip very flavorful. My husband had the meatballs and for entree the prime rib sandwich which he said was delicious. Overall the ambiance was very pleasant and the staff were very welcoming. I can't wait to dine here again. read more

We joined a friends' group to celebrate a birthday. The staff and manager provided excellent service and took great care of us. The restaurant itself has a great farmhouse feel and lots of space. The food was well-prepared, and we had no complaints about flavor. I think the meatballs and orimerib could have been a little more seasoned, but that is just my preference. All around it was a great time with friends and good food. read more

This was amazing I didn't try an entree because I wasn't super hungry. I ordered an order of honey mustard wings and I was highly impressed. My buddy got an order of Irish egg rolls and I had to get an order for myself. They had corned beef inside and sauerkraut with 1000 island dressing to dip it in super good. The waitress was quick and attentive. Also the casual environment I would say business casual a little more upscale or going to a nice place like this I spent about 58 bucks on two drinks and two appetizers which I mean they blew me away I forgot to mention the wings were breaded and they had a nice crunch to them I love it. read more

This was a new one for us. After we offhandedly mentioned this was our first time dining at the Brown Barn, the service manager stopped by with two glasses of champagne. Welcome! This was an excellent touch and perhaps the reason for the crowded dining room. We enjoyed our Salmon BLT and Chicken Philly sandwiches. Both of us picked a dish we wanted to try the next time. With so much hospitality, coming back will a no brainer! read more

Visited the brown Barn for lunch. They were modernist but able to seat us quickly. My wife sipped on tea while we decided on lunch. We started with an order of Bacon Potato Barrels. Fantastic! She got the Honey crispy chicken sandwich and I got the Spicy chicken sandwich. Both were great. The spicy sauce was flavorful but messy. Worth it! We enjoyed the view of the slopes as we ate and it added to the ambiance of the place. Will definitely visit again and sample more of the menu. read more

We frequent to the brown barn tavern and this time we went there for brunch. It was surprisingly busy! We got traditional coffee and orange juice my son got chicken and waffles my wife got the avocado toast and I got the skillet. My son's Chicken and waffles was a monstrous piece of chicken he's a teenage boy he can eat anything but even he was challenged by how large this chicken breast was. The syrup is a Chipotle spicy syrup which he didn't care for he's a traditionalist. My Skillet could not have been a better way to satisfy my breakfast needs. I typically get scrambled but it came out super duper hot I doused with hot sauce and inhaled it. My wife had the avocado toast really not for me but again she wrecked it. I really am struggling for this review because the brown Barn is my favorite place to go and it is literally perfect. The owners are on site they're constantly happy they're so busy and I like taking over the jukebox! read more

Food is so good!! I got the honey chicken salad and it was delicious. Portions are large and filling. Atmosphere is a bar but not overly loud or crowded, at least it wasn't for us. We did make a reservation and were seated immediately. Service was the only place lacking - our waitress stopped by to take our orders and bring our food but we literally never saw her again. Someone else brought and processed our check. Other than the service, it was great! read more

We pushed our luck and just showed up for dinner at 5 pm. Got lucky!!! Sat at the bar. GREAT service and the food was delicious. That pretzel is humongous. The cheese sauce is good but that spicy mustard is wondeful. Spicy chicken wasn't that spicy so if want spice go for hot but it was yummy. Onion rings are good. Companion had fries and the burger with the egg on top (sorry, no picture) and scarfed those down. This is one of the best neighborhood bar/taverns around :) Reservations highly reccomended. read more

This place hoppppps! My wait expected to be fifty-five minutes evaporated into fifteen minutes !!! Diners are welcomed thru a cozy waiting area and lots of outside seating is provided Guests enter a lavish ten to twelve paneled TV surrounded granite bar before taking to their simple tables and hard wooden chairs . Two friendly and professional bartenders approached me , received my order and filled it within moments - a steady stream of mouth watering Arnold Palmers with fresh juicy lemons and full ice cubes... A wonderful warm barn floor holds two open and rather large seating areas for guests ... The excellent wait staff are as attentive to detail as they are to grumpy golfers ( I arrived from nearby Fowler 's Mill Golf Course - one of Ohio's top three public golf courses) ...they are so sweet. What i like best was the Energy - in this bursting at the seams Ohio Tavern - evidenced by tables of friends meeting friends and multi-generational families of ten to twelve who fill neighborly tables. Although there was no noticeable room at the Bar, at 6:15 pm on an autumn Wednesday evening , a nice space was made and i settled in for the evening I ordered a Goat and Red Beet Salad with a Bacon Barn Burger ... i wasn 't disappointed. The salad was scrumptious and fresh as one might expect during harvest season The Brown Barn bacon burger was epic . Fresh brioche bun, cole slaw and fries ! Come here, but make a Reservation to avoid an uncomfortable wait read more

Last week, we headed out to Chardon and made our way to Alpine Valley, where we were treated to some breathtaking views and a delightful meal at the Brown Barn restaurant. With the weather being absolutely perfect, we chose to dine al fresco. The gentle breeze and sunshine created a wonderfully light atmosphere. We loved being on the patio, elevated and gazing over the stunning ski area. Our server was incredibly charming, making the experience even better. We decided to indulge in their Sunday special: BBQ pork ribs that were simply out of this world, along with their refreshing berry salad. For dessert, we couldn't resist the chocolate ganache cake, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic meal. We had such a great time that we signed up for their club! With a spend of $350, you get $25 back--though I may have the details slightly off. Regardless, we're already planning our next visit, especially to try one of those giant pretzels we saw coming out of the kitchen! The vibe was buzzing, and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Friday's fish fry was wonderful. We sat on the patio. The fish was haddock lightly breaded and a large piece. Red skin potatoes were delicious, coleslaw was also very good. We will return and can't wait! read more

The spot to be!!! My husband and I came for dinner on a weekday night in the winter - the whole town was there! Staff was quick and very friendly. Manager came by to check on us a few minutes after we received our food. Drink options were plentiful, great draft options. We LOVED the mac and cheese, a few different options for the protein addition but the chicken was soo yummy. We live in Columbus, wish we had a restaurant like this nearby. read more

Me and my friend went in for a beer. There were no seats at the bar so we sat at a table. We sat there for 20 minutes and now waitress came by. So I ordered two beers from the bar. We're drinking our beers and some Gestapo guy came by and said the table is reserved and we'd have to leave in a bit. There was no reserved sign on the table and two thirds of the surrounding tables were empty. Another five minutes go by and another Gestapo guy comes by and says the table is reserved and said we'd need to get a seat at the bar. There weren't any. So we stood up and waited and after about 20 minutes two seats became open at the bar so we took them. We were there for over an hour and the table the Gestapo said we needed to leave was empty the entire time. This i one screwed up restaurant. read more

Always great. Best french onion soup around. A bit loud, but the service, which is excellent, and food, are worth the needed hearing aids.

Brunch was terrific and service was very nice. We will definitely return! The food was delicious and the drink options are always amazing.

A very nice selection of food and drink. Employees are nice and accommodating. It's a wonderful place to hang-out for a couple hours with friends and the current view of the skiers on the slope at Alpine is a bonus. I highly recommend a reservation on the weekend. We had a great time! read more

The Brown Barn Tavern is always busy when I come, but they always save me a table! I highly recommend the brunch menu on a Sunday!

The view from the patio can't be beat! read more

Not sure why it took us this long to try this place out! Had no idea what to expect, so called the day of for reservations. They told us they're all booked and weekend reservations are made 2-3 days out. SO we took a gamble driving there for bar seats. It was packed, but we walked in at the right time and found the only two available seats at the bar. Started off with drinks and an appetizer of the Aji tuna and the shrimp. Tuna was delicious and the sauce added a nice touch... But I do prefer it more rare. Was a little disappointed in the shrimp as it was very breaded and fried. I guess we expected some thing a little less fried. We then each ordered a bowl of soup... French onion and lobster bisque. Both were absolutely amazing. Dor an "entree"my husband ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and I ordered the smoked pastrami Reuben. Both were delicious. There was so much more on the menu we wanted to try so we will definitely be back. Service was exceptional and very attentive! read more

The food is consistently delicious here. I've never dined in but the carry out is well prepared and packed with care. My favorite is the brown sugar brined grilled pork chop which comes with Mac and cheese, grilled brussel sprouts and a peach chutney that is to die for. Order it medium and thank me later . My husband loves their wings, cooked well done and this time tried and thoroughly enjoyed the dry jerk rub. My son swears by the chicken Philly and I must say, it's plentiful and well seasoned. I can't come here without getting the ahi tuna appetizer! It's just so damn good, fresh and refreshing; especially on a warm summer day. If you have not been here, just go ASAP...that is it...that sums up this post. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, great vibes. Music was abut loud for my taste but it was a great experience. We went tonight to celebrate an important milestone, Tommy guided us through excellent choices on the menu. We started with the loaded barrels and spinach/artichoke dip, both top notch. I had the chicken fried chicken and my dinner companion had the Barn Honey Chicken sandwich grilled (Tommy's recommendation).....he did not steer us wrong. We were both very satisfied and will 100% be back, frequently. read more

We when to the restaurant for an early dinner but we're not able to sit down because there were no seats available even though the restaurant was 1/2 empty. The person at the desk said they were booked and there was no room except on the sweltering patio. The man at front could have said"we have no help" that would have made more sense! He also was rude on his response....we left forever. read more

Always consistent, always great! Love the ambiance, the employees and especially the food! From the pulled pork, to the goat cheese salad to the lemon chicken, always fantastic. And that's saying something. We try to come at least once a month but try to make reservations on the weekend as it's ALWAYS crowded. Had the chicken fingers off the appetizer menu and it's actually real chicken that they bread there, not some bagged stuff most places throw in the fryer. So tender and delicious. Goat cheese salad with candied pecans and beets is tantalizing. Fish tacos flavorful and you actually get fish in every bite!! Consistently delicious food at the Brown Barn! read more
