We go to Little Barn in Shelton a few times a month, so thought we would give this one a try. Walked in for lunch on a Monday afternoon. The dining room was busy, so we asked to sit in the bar instead. I think that was a mistake. The bartender is the server in there and never came over to take our order. I asked another server if we could order some drinks. She took the order and it was at least 10 minutes before the bartender brought them to the table. The menu was little different from the other location. I ordered a cheesesteak and it was delicious. All of the food was great. read more

Meh. We had burgers here on a Friday night. They were fine. A cut above shake shack. Ambiance was ok. Just a bar. The outdoor area looks nice. But did not experience it. I won't be returning. read more

A great lunch! I sat in the bar and started with a few grilled chicken tacos as an appetiser prepared with pico de gallo, micro cilantro, chipotle mayo. An excellent choice. I loved them! After those excellent tacos I enjoyed the AHI TUNA DYNAMITE BOWL, so happy I picked this winner. A must have item! I loved it. Very good. The sushi grade tuna is served warm over sticky rice with sesame, pickled ginger, cucumbers, julienne vegetables, diced avocado, crispy wontons and sriracha aioli. All the ingredients complimented each other. An excellent bowl. Service was excellent. The restaurant itself is nice and rustic with seating inside and out. Worth checking out. read more

"Well, I went to see my woman Down behind the barn Sundown's gonna catch me In my sweet baby's arms" (Steve Miller Band) Rustic is the word! The barn-like building's dining room is dominated by thick wood plank paneling, exposed ceiling beams, and a stone fireplace. Three of us stopped in for lunch today, and we had a very favorable experience. Our server was super friendly and helpful, and answered a few questions we had about the preparation of a sandwich. She even ran back to the kitchen to check with the chef and made sure we had the information we were looking for. Their menu is very broad and covers appetizers, tacos, sandwiches, salads, burgers, and bowls. Our lunch was a Southwest Salad ($18.95) with Mojito-lime marinated grilled chicken, crispy romaine, Roasted corn, black beans, pico de gallo, queso fresco, avocado & crispy tortillas with ancho chipotle dressing, Chatham Fish N' Chips ($20.95) with Crispy ale battered cod with fries, tartar sauce, house slaw and lemon wedges, and a Grilled Chicken Caprese Sandwich ($17.95) with Lemon-Pepper grilled chicken breast, roasted red peppers, baby arugula, fresh mozzarella, and pesto aioli served on a toasted Rosemary focaccia. The food was excellent. I had the salad, and the first thing I noticed was there was a LOT of grilled diced chicken on my plate. It was a big portion, certainly enough for two sittings, and I have to say that ancho chipotle dressing was sneaky spicy! I really liked this place. Decent pricing, good food, good value, plenty of choices, a friendly staff, a full bar, and pretty much whatever you look for to enjoy a meal. What more can a Yelper want? read more

Stopped by The Little Barn in Westport, CT for lunch and had a really solid experience. We started with a beef taco and a chicken taco, both flavorful and well made. For mains, we ordered the Cali Crispy Chicken Wrap with crispy chicken cutlet, lettuce, avocado, tomato, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and basil aioli, which was filling and hit all the right notes. We also had the Salmon BLT with grilled Atlantic salmon, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and lemon basil aioli in a spinach wrap, fresh and nicely balanced. Portions were generous without feeling heavy. Food came out quickly, and the service was friendly and attentive. Easy 4 stars and a good lunch stop if you're in the area. read more

So cute, comfy and friendly. Searched up places in Fairfield/Bridgeport to go for solo dining and Little Barn came up on the search. Super friendly bartender. I ordered the bacon egg and cheeseburger and it did not disappoint! I got the sweat potato fries on the side and a slide salad. The fries were perfectly salted. The coleslaw was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a comfortable place to eat when in town for work! read more

Service was so slow on Sunday and the service was so slow. Food was not much better Calamari was reheated from who knows what frozen supplier . Similar for the ribs which were dry tasteless at least the burger was fresh and hot as well as the Mac and cheese all the fries were just warmish . Thus B p k de gad certainly seems better days as I remember. Sorry not to go back in the future. read more

I really wanted to love Little Barn, but they missed the mark for me in a few areas. First, while the service was friendly it did seem a bit slow. Our server was waiting tables and serving a full bar so everything felt delayed. Perhaps they were short staffed the day we came. We ordered the steak and cheese egg rolls, fish and chips, and shroom burger. The fried foods were too oily and fish lacked flavor. My husband did enjoy his burger and it looked really tasty! I think if I return, I'd opt for something not fried. read more

Warm vibes and good food. Tons of great apps, I'm obsessed with the Asian cauliflower. Joey was super attentive and hospitable. Was hoping for a warm brownie dessert which to my delight was on the menu. Great place to grab a beer and enjoy a game on the tv. Also loved spotting the little owls hidden throughout, super cute. read more

Feels like a local place Friendly staff, good food. Seating is a bit tight but it's small so that's understandable. Husband is on a limited diet (no/low carbs and other restrictions) ordered a burger with substitutions. It only came 1/2 right but staff was very accommodating. I got a turkey burger with stuff subtracted and included and it came out perfect. Drinks were great Overall I'd recommend and come again if we were in the area. read more

Stopped at the Little Barn for lunch after spending the morning at the Westport Dog Festival. The restaurant has seating options inside and outside, and a bonus it's dog friendly on the patio! The patio offered ample seating and provided enough shade to dine outside comfortably on a hot, sunny day. The servers were friendly and attentive, bringing out water for both me and my dog shortly after being seated. The menu offers a variety of options, all reasonably priced. I chose the Little Barn Reuben with a side of sweet potato fries. The quality of food was average but tasted good. It's a great spot for a quick lunch stop if you're in the area. read more

Seated all 8 of us fast without a ressy. Great menu. Nice place. Good prices. Extensive bar options.

outdoor seating on a main busy road - web site looked really different ! Food very mediocre

Awesome in all respects. The pretzel appetizer with the various side dipping sauces was better than any NYC pretzel cart i ever had. The wings, brussell sproat and burgers were cooked perfect. Excellent burgers with soft tasty buns. Service was friendly and timely and we had a large party of 8. this place rocks!!!! read more

Outstanding! We stopped by for a simple lunch, accompanied by our small dog. The staff was welcoming to all of us and our dog was relaxed and quiet the entire time. We sat on the enclosed patio, which was comfortably warm on a chilly spring day. I had the crispy chicken sandwich from the specials menu, and my husband had the lobster salad on Texas toast. Our food was great, with special recognition to the sweet potato fries, which were cooked perfectly and not the soggy mess that a lot of restaurants serve. The waitress was attentive and friendly. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Really cute red barn restaurant really looks like a red barn. Friendly service and good food. I had the Philly cheese sandwich and the bread was soft and warm, tender flavorful meat it worked very well. French onion soup just like Mom used to make! The Mac and cheese was decent but it was too ordinary prob not ordering that again as a side. All in all a good meal and good time. read more

Little Barn is so named because it's in a building shaped like a little barn. There's some things on the menu that are amazing, and some I would avoid. On the good side, the Fish and Chips and the Fish Tacos were some of the best I've ever had. The Nachos were also excellent with very crispy, thick chips and a decent amount of toppings on everything. Sadly the waitress steered me very wrong. I was considering ordering the fish like my dining mates but she steered me towards the Chicken Sandwich and the Ahi Tuna Buddha Bowl which she raves about. The Ahi Tuna bowl was basically a bit of tuna, carrots and rice with an aggressive and almost offensive amount of mayonnaise. If you do go, stick to the fish and chips or fish tacos and don't listen to the waitress. read more

I had the WORST experience here today. I am a regular at this location, I live right down the street so to say the least, I order food from this Little Barn quite often. Today, I had the most rude, prejudice white, blonde early/mid-30s bartender serving me. To preface, I am black living in Westport, CT so this is already a recipe for disaster. When my friend and I sat at the bar, the blonde bartender gave us the coldest greeting & would only check on how we were doing or if we needed another drink only if we reached out to her first. Now, I have worked in the service industry myself, so I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Only up until I saw how she interacted with the other [white] customers. She was joyful, cracking jokes, checking in on them every five minutes. It honestly was appalling to witness. I love Little Barn however, this interaction today made me second guess ever wanting to return. read more

Excellent, beyond excellent restaurant down in Westport. I met up with my friend down here after getting my hair done and it was such a great decision because we did outdoor dining and it was a lovely night out. While I waited for her I completely finished off a mudslide martini (def recommend) and some ahi tuna nachos that I'd legit drive down for daily, they were that amazing. I then had a delightful Brussels sprouts salad for my main entree and an orange margarita as my dessert to cap off a perfectly wonderful, relaxing day. If I'm in the area again I'm definitely going to stop by. read more

Very good lunch... Had the Veggie Burger; black bean, vegetable & rice patty, roasted red peppers, baby arugula, provolone and basil mayo. Between the patty and it's toppings there's some great flavors that work well together. It's got a little spice. Loved the texture of the patty. It was cooked well and not dry. Only change I would recommend is putting the mayo on the side. It does get a bit messy. Not a heavy selection, worked well for lunch. Menu looks great, lots of options. Cool rustic vibe going on. They have a good size bar and plenty of table space both inside and out. I was here for lunch, decent amount of people. Not too busy. The staff was excellent. Checked in on is frequently and weren't too pushy. They were very friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed it. I look forward to coming back and checking out some of their other menu options. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite. Buon Appetito! #fairfieldcountyfoodandwinejournal read more

We had the perfect fall lunch here... Out shopping and running errands, we stopped at Little Barn for lunch. I am already looking forward to returning. We had a high top table in the bar. Lots of energy in the bar. There was also a singing room as well as two outside seating areas. I had leek & potato soup followed by pumpkin ravioli with brown sage butter. WOW - this is the best pumpkin ravioli I have had! 4 raviolis in the serving and every bit was a delight. If you like this sorry if meal, come her. My hubby had French onion soup and a burger... both were very good! The perfect fall lunch! read more

I was passing through Westport and decided to stop for lunch at Little Barn. Little Barn has a rustic feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a cozy fireplace in the dining area with some booths and tables. They call their menu "casual" and I agree. There are enough choices for a variety of palettes. My friend and I shared an order of chicken wings and both ordered a mushroom burger. The Buffalo chicken wings were tasty and done well. They had a good flavor and were not drenched in any sauce. They were accompanied with a nice portion of blue cheese. A little pricey for the amount and size of the wings but good otherwise. The mushroom burger was very good. It was served with portobello mushrooms caramelized onions and Swiss cheese. It was a tasty selection items for the burgers. We ordered onion rings with the burger. They looked great, however they lacked flavor. A bit disappointing. I would stop back and try something else on the menu. I was between three and four stars. I'm giving four stars for the cozy feel, flavor of the wings and the burger. read more

If you are a black or brown person don't come here for a professional dining experience. They ignore you and treat others with priority over "you." I am sending this review not based on one experience but three. Won't come again. read more

This is a gem. Food and service is always great. It is our go to place. The menu has something for everyone.

I heard great things about this place. I ordered the Sheppard pie special... And frankly it was $20 worth of instant mashed potatoes and very small portion with tsp of meat. Onion soup was poor. Burger was below average. Calamari was just awful. Atmosphere was nice. It is a nice bar... But food was so disappointing, I will pass on going again. Also it got busy, but want busy when our food was ordered... So that isn't an excuse. Sorry little barn... Just not a good place. read more

This place has been so good for so long but tonight was a huge miss. Food was great ; service at the bar awful. Bartender's friends and maybe the manager's- hard to tell who, if anyone was in charge -were drunk and loud (and profane), We sat at the bar and had to call out to the bartender to get things like water, refills on cocktails and ketchup because she was making drinks with and hanging with the friends . Seemed like the Hamptons when you knew it was crew night and the crews were all celebrating and not waiting on people. Have not had this experience here before and it was sad Hoping management recognizes that maybe Sunday night needs some adult supervision read more

Loved it here! Came for an early dinner including the French onion soup, salmon BLT wrap, and fish and chips. Great portions of fish in both meals & great flavor in everything. Will definitely be back. read more

We called an hour ahead and asked if we could place reservations. They said no, it's first come first serve. When we got there we had a 25 minute wait time and they placed our name and number into their system. Why don't they have reservations if they have this system? We waited in our car for 30 minutes and saw people leaving. We called into the restaurant to see where we stood on the waitlist and the girl sounded confused. She ultimately said "Just come on in." When we ordered food it was 7:30 pm. We saw the tables around us arrive after us and get their food before us. At 8:30 pm I approached our server, Rosa, and asked what was going on. She didn't have an explanation and went to "check" the status of the food. We waited another 15 minutes until she brought it to us. The plates were hot and the food was cold. I ordered a grilled cheese. When a grilled cheese is cold it's like munching on a cardboard box sandwich. We tipped her 18%, but she seemed new at her job and must've made a mistake. The place was packed and the food was ok. I don't want to 1-star the joint as people make mistakes, but the overall experience sucked. I'm sure if we went back it would be better. It's just tough when it takes an hour or more for food and my young children are acting out like starved fools. Kinda wish they just took same-day reservations. read more

I absolutely love this place! I have been going for years and it's one of my go-tos for dining in or takeout. Little Barn is a rustic-chic, cozy and casual new American restaurant featuring indoor and outdoor fireplaces and a large outdoor patio. Whether you prefer meat, poultry, fish, or vegan, Little Burn has something for everyone. All dishes are served up by the friendly staff in a very cozy, intimate environment. Be sure to check out their menu! My personal favorite are the seafood sandwich, brisket grilled cheese, mango habanero wings, and of course the GIANT pretzel. read more

I like the Little Barn. It's got a fun and jovial atmosphere and you can eat healthy amidst all the chowing down surrounding you on pub food - which all looks great, btw. They have my fave chardonnay, Kendall Jackson, so I'm happy with that, a salad and people watching. Parking lot can get filled so park across the street. This is a place for locales which gives it a really warm and friendly feeling. read more

Good food, cute ambiance and very family friendly! We had Ruben egg rolls, a burger, chicken wrap and the kids Mac and cheese. My son thoroughly enjoyed that his meal came with apples and carrots, along with the frys. Not the best mixed drinks, but the food makes up for it. read more

If you're looking for a quaint spot for fresh food in Westport, this is your place! We decided to try the Little Barn for brunch and noticed they had roomy and inviting outdoor seating. The staff was training staff for their Shelton opening, and everything went smoothly. The staff was wonderful! Attentive and friendly. Very accommodating. Upon reviewing the menu, I was a little disappointed they didn't have more brunch-related items. No eggs or sweet breakfast items here, so if you're looking for that, this is not your place. I opted for a lunch-y item and went with the lobster club with sweet potato fries. The club was delicious! Plenty of lobster, but the lobster is definitely mashed up, and not the thick, chunky pieces you'd expect. I think they should be advertising it as a "lobster salad". Overall a good meal, and I'd definitely be willing to try other menu items! read more
