Always a Great Time at The Barrel House!…read more This is one of our favorite spots for great food and excellent service. The drinks are strong, and their happy hour is definitely worth it--but even outside of happy hour, the prices are very reasonable. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Whenever we're in town, we make sure to stop by The Barrel House with my mother-in-law--it's become a bit of a tradition! The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, with plenty of outdoor and patio seating. There are even some games out back, which makes it a fun and family-friendly place to hang out. Highly recommend! Add it to the Love List

Our server was sweet, but overwhelmed with our large group even though we were low maintenance. I ordered the steak medallions medium and they were more like a rare as they were raw inside. I ended up switching my meals with someone who was ok with meat that rare because I couldn't eat it, and I was never asked if it was cooked the way I wanted. The chicken fried steak wasn't seasoned much. The mashed potatoes were good as was the asparagus. Normally I would give 3 rating for an experience like this, but I know that this is a locally owned place so I don't want to bring down their overall rating score.

I have an admission to make and it doesn't speak well for my character, but what else is new. I…read morewas enticed to try this place strictly by its name. this lead me to imagining how the place would provide yet another example of how silly texas stuff actually is in today's world. in short, i think texans take themselves much too seriously. they aren't riding the range, or having shootouts (well, not the kind that happen in a corral anyway) or (with air-conditioning everywhere you turn) have much need for a "10-gallon hat". but i had neglected to consider that, all that predictable claptrap aside, this place might actually be enjoyable simply because it's a good "steakhouse". I don't really care much for beef these days, it seems kinda unidimensional flavor-wise, differing mainly in tenderness, cut and age of the meat. there is something to the choice of how "well" you like the meat cooked, and in that regard it's much like lamb to me: flavor gets more complex with time and heat. I prefer lamb braised like the greeks do it, rather than grill-marked with red-pink inside. Likewise with beef, which needs to be carefully broiled or grilled to a point just before the protein begins to dewater from being overly done. well/medium well is a tough call to attain given that the cooking continues several minutes after the heat is removed. So here's the serious good about the redneck grill: go for the 16 ounce ribeye: the cut is about as tender as texas steak gets (don't know where peter luger gets their meat but at one time the old man personally selected the incoming hindquarters off the truck). 12 is mainly thinner and has a bit more fat. forego any additional seasoning on anything (french fries included) as there is more than enough salt and etc already. order it cooked to your taste, the kitchen will make a good effort to deliver it that way. this has been my best restaurant experience in this little town, for whatever that's worth. but of course there's plenty of the old texas-texas-texas claptrap to amuse you: the ever-popular cowhide on the wall, exposed brick behind broken terra cotta, creative use of corrugated metal siding as wall covering, expired texas license plates decorating the walls, antiquey kinds of lamps emitting low level light, etc etc etc. ok, i give up on this, texas is still mostly texas once you're outside the perimeter of one of the hopelessly overgrown metroplexes. if you're planning to relocate here to buy a cheap house and avoid state income taxes, enjoy it. i'm going home tomorrow.

I ended up taking half home. Everything is made from scratch, and they also offer daily specials, which is a big plus. Definitely one to add to the Love List! Note: The restaurant is in a metal building, so my cell service didn't work inside. Also, no alcohol (and it didn't seem like BYOB), in case that's something you're looking for.
