While in Longview visiting family we came here and I am glad we did. At our server's suggestion I had the hot & crunchy shrimp. It was excellent! The mixed vegetables served as a side were very good and not over cooked. The mashed potatoes were a little dense but not bad. The restaurant is nice and cozy. Our server, Destiny, was great - friendly and helpful. I'll be back on my next trip. read more

Love Barron's for cocktail hour! The food is very good, too. But the dining room is VERY crowded! Not sure where they could expand unless the private dining room on the "front" is taken in and the former private room goes out to take up some of the patio space! Still delish! read more

What a gem this little cafe is tucked away in the back corner of a shopping center. The food rivals any restaurant in Dallas. I recommend that you sit at the and let Aaron entertain you with his cocktail magic. He makes mixing craft cocktails an art form...a true artist and his love for what he does shines through. I'm in Longview about once per month for work and this is a CANT MISS for me. I've entertained clients here as well and had equally positive feedback from them each time. You'll feel like a regular after just a few minutes.... read more

Wonderful, friendly service! Everything we have tried on the menu has been delicious. Some favorites are: hot and spicy chicken and shrimp, truffle fries, Asian salad, Brussels sprouts with balsamic sauce, hummus... it's all great! read more

The food and atmosphere give you a casual yet fine dining experience. I really enjoyed their grits ( we had brunch). The service was polite and quick to service our table as needed. read more

Lobster Empanadas Fabulous Grilled Salmon with Wild berry butter sauce. Salmon was perfectly seared, but over cooked ( total white center) I am not sure why they serve butter and wild berry butter in plastic cups‍they sell some of the best cooking accessories in their store next door. I would definitely go for lunch or dinner again! read more

This cafe is a nice treat for special occasions or a date night. Super cocktails and unique and thoughtful menu items. The bar is beautifully appointed with a little swanky ambiance, and the dining room offers a more casual feel. It's a little pricey, but they are a standout venue for a nice evening! read more

Excellent. The Wedge I just have to have sometimes! Their tomato basil is divine with fresh bread and butter, mmmmmmmm

I had my first brunch here recently and I was pleasantly surprised. I also posted a couple of pictures. Our server, Brian was fantastic!! I will be back!! read more

Had Brunch here on Feb. 9. We were so excited that they were finally offering Sunday Brunch -- a new place to eat after church. We waited over an hour for our food, and it was Awful. Two in our party of four sent their food back because it was so overcooked. We all ordered Eggs Benedict. The service was just as bad as the food. It was an overpriced mess. Barron's, get your act together. If you were a new restaurant, it would be different, but you've been in business many, many years. There's no excuse for the bad food or the bad service. read more

The food is still great, but we have had bad experiences with the service the last 3 times we have visited. Just coordination issues between the kitchen and wait staff, slow, and unattentative. On one occasion, one of us did not receive their food until about 10 minutes after the other two people we were with received theirs. Another, we never received any bread or water after repeatately asking for it. It also took a very long time to get a refill on our drinks on several occasions. Lastly, I ordered the hot n crunchy chicken, as I usually do, and it was pink in the middle (this happened right before moving to the new location in December 2014). We have been frequent customers to Barron's and love the food! The service has just been extremely disappointing since moving to the new location. read more

Always enjoyed lunch or dinner at cafe Barron's. menus isn't overwhelming or overpriced. I would suggest dressing nice but I have ate their wearing casual and felt the services was always professional. Do have to give kudos to the young lady with the beautiful singing voice. The food is very well done and plated ambiance is very intimate and can be a bit busily during heavy lunch and dinner crowd but overall it's a wonderful place to enjoy good food and company. read more

Wow! This is amazing.. It has a super fun and trendy atmosphere! For an appetizer we got the cheese tray.... For 14 dollars ... Yes! They're are so many varietys of cheeses on it... They are high class cheeses... Wonderful!! I got the Mac and cheese ... Woah! It's delicious! So creamy and rich ... If I could rate it more... I WOULD read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. My previous experience here was before remodeling, several years ago. The new space is quite upgraded. Great ambiance, nice music, terrific service tonight and good food. Appetizers, entrees and salads are a step above most Longview fare. The Pomegranate Salmon and risotto was delicious. Nice wine list. Didn't have room for dessert. We will definitely return - and won't wait several years between visits. read more

Our staff held their Christmas party at Cafe Barron's last night and could not have been more pleased. The service was impeccable and we had 20 people. The food was exquisite. Kudos to the chef and the kitchen staff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

My favorite thing about this place was the Crawfish, Spinach and Artichoke dip. It was served with bread and super delicious. Highly recommended! I ordered the Seafood pasta. It has lobster, salmon, shrimp and scallops in lemon butter with peas and capers. The capers gave it just enough kick. It was also really tasty. They also have a great dessert menu. We ordered the Italian Cream cake, Creme Brulee and Vanilla Bean cheesecake. It all must have been good because I heard no one complain. Overall, cute little place for what I consider small town Longview. read more

Me and my daughter went for lunch today!! We stood about 5 minuets to be seated, two people nearby but didn't Acknowledge us standing and waiting, it was really awarded feeling. This young lady comes up and says two?, no smile or greeting! It took a couple more minutes before a unfriendly server came and got our drink order. She came back and and said y'all ready to order. I say I need a minute, she walks off we waited about 10 more minuets with menus down. The server walking all around us but never came over to take our order. I finally looked at my daughter and said are you ready to go across the street to Red Lobster because we know we will get good service and fair food!! A restaurant only gets one chance to impress me, and I was not impressed at all! Where was the management at to over see this restaurant??? And I'll add this place wasn't business at lunch and know I see why!!! read more

Popped in here for a double espresso in off peak hours 3-4PM. The barista was an employee pulled from the bookstore side of the store. Wound up asking the employee if I could show them myself since the manager hadn't trained them. Got my espresso but they seriously need to learn how to calibrate their machine. I planned on going here for lunch or dinner because it had a PokéStop but then I heard from other locals that the owner was apprehensive to anyone being on their phones while in the vicinity because they disagree with Pokémon Go. Honestly, I've lived here for 20 years on & off & no one I've met has ever eaten here. That, the minimalist hours & how the patio is dead 100% of the time has assured me that I won't be going. The owner should have used the advantage of free advertising & upped their game. read more

We ate here last night and fell in love! I got the hot and crunchy fish and it was divine! The sauce, the mashed potatoes and the vegetables were all perfect! My husband got the chicken sandwich on a crazy good jalapeño bun! We will be back ! read more

Only place in Longview with craft cocktails and great food. I always enjoy my visit.

Barron's Restaurant is not near the quality it was before expansion! It used to be our " go to" restaurant when we traveled from Dallas to visit family in Longview. Bar-pretty and appealing Food-ok Service-ok Prices-oh my! Beer/wine selection-fair Pork Tenderloin-tough, very overdone, flavor was not that good. Crispy fish-I could have done better at home. Sauce too sweet. Fish Taco-not much to them, no flavor Nothing exciting about it! Not one thing. I would like to try again after the kinks have been worked out as I do not like the other dining options of Olive Garden and Applebees. read more

My wife, 4 year old daughter, and 4 month old daughter showed up today during off hours and the hostess saw we had kids and set other couples ahead of us (who didn't have kids) right away. The restaurant was basically empty. After she sat the other couples she told us it would be 15 minutes for us to get a table. It was blatant she didn't want to sit us because we had young children. They've lost a local customer who likes to eat. We gave another restaurant our business. Don't go here if you have kids. read more

Excellent experience. Food was wonderful, service was attentive but not interruptive. Fresh sourdough bread served before the meal was great. I had the hot and crunchy fish (hot and crunchy chicken is also good), and my husband had the mahi mahi. Chocolate cheesecake and vanilla latte for dessert. Everything was superb. read more

Spectacular restaurant and bar. Top chef food, warm atmosphere and friendly professional service. I would give 6 stars if that was a choice.

Wonderful find off I20 - local place with great food, good prices and a lot of charm! The Hot & Crunchy Chicken was the best! Have to pass all the chains to find this gem. read more

I went here with a group thinking this place would be a place for chick food and that I wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong! The food is amazing! I had a cup of soup, a burger and a desert and it was very, very good. read more

This is a unique restaurant set inside a bookstore. Small and intimate. Moderately priced. They have daily specials that vary. Sometimes when I want to have dessert, I will just order an appetizer instead of a meal. Portions are generous. Fresh french bread is served with all meals. Good prices on wine and beer. read more

We love Barron's. The food is always great and the ambience & music are excellent. They have specials and the servers are great - especially Rachel. read more

This is Longview's five star hidden gem for the best fine dining. Nestled in the back of a bookstore, Barrons has quality food that rivals some of the best restaurants in Dallas. The atmosphere is peaceful and the staff is always friendly. When you go for the first time, try the hot and crunchy, silly name, amazing flavor. If you have a chance to stop by for a Saturday brunch, try the southwest eggs benedict. The wine choices are always exceptional with some of the best offerings in town. If I had a complaint, it would only be that they have better hours. read more

Can't say enough great things about Barron's!!! Food is amazing and so delicious!! Customer service is impeccable!!

I ate here once for a party a couple years back. It is kinda pricey and the food is pretty good. I gave it 3 stars because I think it's a little over priced for what you get. read more

Very classy and quite delicious! Love these local gems! The salads are amazing! Everything is well done!

Beautiful restaurant inside and my pasta w/chicken was excellent. I love I can get a glass of Chardonnay with my meal! We will be back.

Excellent lunch, dessert, atmosphere, service & shopping! Unique menu of wonderful lunch options that you won't find anywhere else. The bread that is served before your meal is so good, warm & fresh. The tomato basil soup is the best I've ever had. My favorite lunch is the Sonoran grilled chicken sandwich with avocado & chipotle mayo on a jalapeño bun! It's all amazing! Best salad in town... Maple Roasted Pecan Salad! read more

We really enjoyed our visit. The meal was excellent and the wine was nice. Five stars if the wait staff was just adequate. The live music was really nice so we stayed after dinner for a few more drinks and visited with friends. read more

Went in on a Saturday and we were given the brunch menu. I asked for the lunch menu and she said only brunch in the morning. I said it is 12:20 p.m. and she replied only brunch menu on Saturday. I wish they would post that on their website. We should of left right then because very limited menu, not even a regular burger. My table had the Denver omelette, spicy grilled chicken sandwich, and the chicken pasta in wine sauce. Sandwich had nothing on it, very dry. Pasta was just flavorless and the omelette was okay. Won't go back there again. read more

Excellent! Food was wonderful! service was super! We all had something different started with crawfish, spinach, artichoke dip, cheese tray with fruit... Both O' so yummy!!! Entrees were Chilean Sea Bass that was BEST we have ever had (and we have dined at some great great places)! Cheesecake for dessert was perfect! Can't wait to go back again!!! read more

I absolutely love Barron's. The atmosphere is very classy. They have great items on the menu, the tomato basil soup is always a must. And their beef tips and rice is to die for. Too bad it's a special or i would get it every time! read more
