Nothing fancy about this restaurant, it doesn't pretend to be something it's not, no aires here, everyone is welcome, something for everyone. Open Monday through Friday. The regular menu is posted on the wall with the daily special written on a chalk board. We visited on Meatloaf day, YUMMY. We both ordered the daily special which came with two sides. We were pleasantly impressed. Delicious!! Service was pleasant and prompt. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Jeff. Nice man and a good cook. We will be back.

Big shout out to who ever was playing music! My husband and I were singing along to every throwback song! Overall, not sure if I would come back again but if you're in the area it's a great choice for lunch or dinner!

All the ladies I've run into behind the register are always very nice and display a positive attitude. That goes a long way with me. I can't really comment much on the amenities for truck drivers because I don't drive a truck. I do however see a lot of big rigs there so I assume things are decent.

I lost my appetite and manager did not even come up the the table. she took $3.00 off a $18 salad that I couldn't even eat it. As someone in the food industry this should have been taken off my bill!!! I had to order Bourbon chicken to go. this is my third time with huge disappointments while eating at Barrell house. I saw the manager shrug it off. My family will not be eating here again. The manager does not care about customer service. I let the girl at the front counter know, that's why I ordered another meal, because our waitress only came back once. II had cut my chicken up into pieces. So how dare you say I ate most of the chicken. I saw it being thrown out after you snubbed your nose up. So I will not accept your apology. The food has been sub par but keep trying to support local! As we all know there aren't a lot of decent places to eat in Winnsboro and the manager at Barrell House is pushing people out the door. We have been to the BH for years and it stops now!!!
