I absolutely love this place! I live nearby and often walk over with my dog--it's so nice to have a dog-friendly spot with a patio in the back where dogs are welcome. My friend and I bring our dogs and always feel comfortable. There's plenty of parking if you drive, and inside you'll find a cozy dining area with a fun 50's vibe and a downstairs Tiki Bar decorated in Polynesian style. The food is fantastic! Last time I had the Barnyard (a delicious chicken sandwich) and the Quesadilla appetizer--both were excellent. Their cheeseburgers are also top-notch. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and the service is consistently great. The staff is friendly, quick, and accommodating--they even love our dogs! Everything is always clean, including the bathrooms. read more

many options to pick from on the menu, including specials, quick and very friendly service, overall nice place! definitely would like to go back to! read more

Ugh. I saw the 3.5 stars and should have known better. It just wasn't very good. Poor service (had to ask for some sauce 3-4 times), mediocre sandwiches, and the restaurant felt... dirty. We definitely won't be back. read more

Awesome fried pickle slices. That is some serious breading - yummy and crunchy! Several options beyond burgers. Fun stuff to explore. A good beer selection also. Service was friendly. We ate in the main area, but it looked like there is also a bar area and maybe some covered outdoor seating. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! Great service, friendly and welcoming folk. The food was delicious. I highly recommend trying the homemade ranch and queso with the fries! Very chill and inviting environment. Definitely a great spot to come back to! read more

My wife and I surprisingly found ourselves back here while visiting Turkey Run State Park. Taking my own advice (from my previous review), we both ordered burgers. One major change that has occurred here is that burgers have been deemphasized from both the name of the restaurant and on the menu. There is only a "build your own burger" option now. That being said, we enjoyed our burgers as well as the onion rings (which we had as our appetizer). The service, on the other hand, was awful. Our waitress was very pleasant, but she was extremely overworked. She was the only waitress for three completely separate rooms (one being the bar area). We waited 15 - 20 minutes just to get our order taken (and there was only one other person in the main part of the restaurant). We had similar wait times for our food and to get our check. Overall ratings...4 stars for the food.. 2 stars for the service. read more

Stopped in for something different on a Friday evening. The place wasn't busy at all and we took a seat right away. Waitress was friendly and handed us menus to look over. That was the end of the good part. We ordered a seafood nacho appetizer. Three minutes after it came out, our food came out. No chance to enjoy the appetizer. My wife and I both ordered a burger. They skipped the jalapenos on mine (even though it's one of the standard toppings on the menu). No sides are listed on the menu, but they had them on a whiteboard across the seating area from us with no additional prices. The menu said burgers came with a side. She asked for the onion rings while I had the fresh cut fries. They obviously don't double fry the fries. some of mine were good, some were still undercooked. My wife's onion rings came with a complimentary side of oil at the bottom of her basket. Now to the best part. The bill comes out and her onion rings were a $4.99 upcharge. Mind you no pricing on the whiteboard and the waitress doesn't say anything when she ordered them. No apologies for the food coming out so close the appetizer nor the lack of clarity on the side upcharge. Food was meh. I'd suggest going somewhere else for your hunger pangs. Plenty of fast-food places that would rival this establishment for quality. We will not be returning. read more

Great friendly service. Bar had an amazing amount of liquor and beer choices. Menu has a fantastic selection of different items. Not just your ordinary bar food. Had the bison burger with hand-cut fries. Excellent. Will be back soon. read more

Ordered takeout from here for the first time today. We were pleasantly surprised when we got home! Upon entering the restaurant I was a little taken back, it is nothing fancy but clean. However you turn down the stairs to the bar and it feels like a completely different restaurant or "vibe". They also have a patio out back but they do not have heaters so we will have to wait until the summer to check it out. The staff was not overly friendly but not rude either. After getting home, we opened our boxes are were quite happy with our burgers! The lettuce, tomato, and onion were very fresh and the burgers were cooked pretty well (mine was a bit pink but it was still good). My only complaint is that the fries were pretty cold but they were still tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time as a local and was really impressed. Their atmosphere was really cute and felt like you were at a restaurant at the beach. Everything looked really clean and well taken care of. The server, Kate was super attentive and on top of the service. There were some great creative options on the menu and I can tell the cook/chef is passionate about keeping the food interesting and high quality. I tried the fish and chips and was throughly satisfied. The tartar sauce and coleslaw were good with the dish. I am excited to go back and try one of their burgers next time. Two thumbs up! read more

It's a cute little restaurant. The prices are reasonable. I would go so far as to say affordable but not cheap. The food was very good except for the fact that all of our fries were a little bit burnt. But not grossly burnt. Just a little crispier than I would prefer but quite possibly still in some people's preferred range. The staff was all very friendly. My only complaint is how long we waited on the food. For a place to is primarily a burger place I expect my food a little faster. We went to IHOP two nights before and had faster service there than we did here tonight. However the food was so good. I had to fish and chips basket and I will definitely be going back for that incredible fish. The read more

Another pleasant lunch at the Barefoot Burger! Service was quick and we didn't wait long for our food. My husband and I got the volcano fries as an appetizer and added queso, since their queso is so delicious! It was an awesome appetizer with a great amount of pulled pork. I got the fiesta burger and my husband got the prime rib sandwich -- we were both happy with our choices. The only reason I had to give 4/5 stars is that the staff wasn't super consistent with wearing masks and didn't require the customers to wear masks as they were walking throughout the restaurant -- one customer from the bar came over and started speaking to us without a mask on. We are trying to support local restaurants during this time but it only works if they're enforcing good social distancing! read more

I don't understand the bad reviews of this place. No, it's not fine dining, and it's not supposed to be. But what it is is really good food, friendly, attentive and fast service and a welcoming atmosphere. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, went into the bar and were greeted immediately -- and friendly. Everyone was nice and happy that we were there and our drinks came immediately and our meals came out very fast. Very good beer selection and the Jamaica burger and volcano fries were delicious. If I were ever in Crawfordsville again, I would definitely go back. And if you're there, you should go, too. read more

Great find! We are traveling and thought we would find a local spot. The Barefoot Burger hits the spot. Fresh and flavorful. My only complaint is that it's not closer to home! We had the Fiesta Burger and Seafood Nachos! read more

We were in the area due to the Covered Bridge Festival. My family and I like to check out local eateries instead of the commercialized restaurants. Our Waitress was very nice. But this is just a place to get bar food...not a restaurant. read more

The Barefoot Burger - Peeling paint on table - Bars Near Me - Crawfordsville, Indiana

We were in the restaurant part not the bar. But they do have a nice beer selection. Burger and fries were really good. Onion rings were so good that I wonder if I should bump up the rating. We also had the tornado with "bbq" and a brisket sandwich. Those weren't good. But it is Indiana what do you expect. They do lots of things well but not bbq. read more

Cheeseburger Salad: fresh, crisp iceberg lettuce with tomato, onion, chopped pickle cheese and hot cheeseburger. A favorite of my wife. Usually she would rate it 5 stars but today someone forgot to include the "frytons". Better luck next time read more

The food was halfway decent, but the service was not very good. There were 3 other tables there with us, but nobody was taken care of. You should expect your order to be missing a couple of items, not being able to order drinks or food, and for them to be out of silverware. read more

Would recommend this local eatery. Quick friendly service. Fresh cut fries and smash burgers were on point. The homemade queso was a hit as well as the homemade ranch dressing. Definitely worth your time! read more

This is a great little restaurant, and it's more than just a hamburger joint. They have a nice variety on their menu-and I mostly eat pescatarian/vegetarian. The food is excellent; the staff are always friendly and welcoming, and their service rocks. I often go there to work during non-busy hours (for them, not me, haha) and they even have places to plug my laptop in. Plus, they have a nice selection of craft beer! I didn't expect to be able to get a Founder's Breakfast Stout at a little burger place, but there it was! I love going there in the late afternoon to grab a snack and a beer while working. The only problem is that I like talking to the staff but I have to get work done! Lol. But I'll take that over boring/unfriendly people or being ignored any day. Definitely five stars! read more

Leila, the chef, recommended this specialty dish that is not on the menu. She called it Vodka Pasta and it was superb! This is well worth a special trip from Turkey Run State Park or a stop along I-74 read more

The Barefoot Burger - Vodka Pasta. - Bars Near Me - Crawfordsville, Indiana

Restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Good energy with the staff/customers. Waitress was very kind and got to us quickly and met all our needs. Got the large onion rings for an appetizer, hot and fresh and had a good beer batter flavor. Dipping sauce was really sour and tasted bitter, would recommend another dipping sauce. Ordered the fish and chips and they came out as little nuggets of fried cod. The fish was very good, but the fried coating was like rubber and it was terribly covered in grease. The fries were fairly good, but heavy on the bland side and were over cooked. Got the check and found that refills on non fountain sodas are not free. Waitress did not inform us we'd be charged extra for another canned soda. I've heard well of other peoples experience but it's not up to my liking. Maybe a second try with a burger instead of fried food will do me better. read more

Sat at the tiki bar that's hidden when you walk in. The prices were pretty decent for food n esp drinks. I got the cheeseburger and it was pretty good. All the condiments came on the side. We got a side of queso somehow and it was delicious on the fries. The food took a bit to come out. 2 entrees and 3 Jim beam blacks for less than $40 is pretty good. read more

Not what I expected from the reviews on Yelp! Seafood nachos were tasteless, my burger had not seen a salt or pepper shaker very under seasoned! My wife had a burger also and no seasoning either. Bright spot is beer was cold. Would not recommend this joint. read more

My daughter and I went there for dinner. We should've known to turn around and leave because no one was in dining room. A few people straggled in but went downstairs to the bar. We ordered the crab queso and it had a tiny piece of crab and the cheese was nasty. Our sandwiches had no taste. We tried to make them better by adding more condiments and salt but it didn't help at all. The French fries were subpar. Do yourselves a favor and dine somewhere else. After spending over $40 we will never go there again. I only gave it 1 star because there was no option for 0 stars. read more

Great food and bartenders are very friendly. Great drinks also! They have a pool table and it's great lighting.

Visited for the second time on 06/02/18 - the first visit back in 2017 wasn't great so thought I'd give it another go. It went much better this time around. Server was Baily P and she did a great job - very attentive. Sat on the dining side rather than the bar because it was cooler. It wasn't crowded at all for late afternoon so that was nice. They offer bottomless fries if that's your thing. Burgers come with a lot of options - meat, bun, toppings... so that's awesome! I'd recommend this for a casual lunch or dinner! read more

Food is good when you eat at the restaurant but we've ordered takeout before and been disappointed. I enjoy the food but it's best to dine in. read more

So happy that you've extended your hours again despite COVID. The food was amazing, the staff friendly, the outdoor seating on a sunny summer evening was just what we needed! Only trouble is ... I didn't know you had all that to offer. Get the word out! read more

Relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing. Chicken Alfredo was so much more food than i thought i would get for only $12! Rachael, the bartender, was very attentive and made sure i always had a drink in my hand. Onion rings were to die for. read more

I was super excited to try this place cuz we love burgers unfortunately they were short staffed but can't blame them for that. The burgers were good and nicely cooked. We ordered seafood nachos that were a huge disappointment. The restaurant was dirty. The floor was dirty and we were sat at the only dirty table and I had to asked for it to be cleaned ...all the other tables but one were available and clean. Fries were really good also. Overall it was ok. Won't go out of our way next time though. read more

We love taking the kids for burgers at Barefoot. They have a beach theme with paper liners and paper "boats" that hold the food. Every burger I have had here has been amazing. They also have an appetizer that is basically nachos with a seafood cheese dip and it's an excellent go to. Our whole family loves it. For the adults, the beer selection here is very possibly the largest and most diverse in town. They don't have a ton on tap but they have a huge selection to choose from. The wait staff here is always great. They keep the table clear and the glasses full. Barefoot will likely continue to be our favorite local burger joint, especially for the price. read more
