It's really a 4.5 star rating. Why? Because it's just another restaurant that doesn't reflect their correct pricing online, even though there was a note of being "just updated", or something like that. So naturally the prices on the menu were a good bit higher. Bait and switch? That's what it felt like. But moving on, the somewhat overpriced lasagna was indeed very good. Better than expected. It floated in a sea of delicious bolognese sauce but only came with a small portion of bread to help sop it up. But I would return for another helping. The other thing that exceeded my expectations from the reviews I read was the service. I was lucky to be served by a charming young lady by the name of Ashley. Her personality and sense of humor were delightful, and her knowledge of the menu, and her suggestion of the lasagna, were both right on point. She absolutely made the experience a pleasure. I hope she is very much appreciated by the owners, and I would suggest you request her section when you go there. Just dont believe the prices you'll find online, read more

Best place in Ramona. Amazing food and service, always welcoming and the entertainment is always second to none. One of our favorites! Love the ambiance as well! read more

From the moment we walked in, we agreed with a smile. The host was simply amazing the server Kasie did a phenomenal job by getting us beer recommendations in excellence service. The food was simply amazing and tasted delicious. The only critique that I have for the ambience while you're playing music in the dining hall while there was karaoke going in the back, you should stick to one or the other as it's a little confusing karaoke here is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't hide it. read more

The Barn - New York!!! - Italian Near Me - Ramona, California

Visited 8/20/2025 I hadn't heard much about the food here and it only has a 3 1/2 Star rating on Yelp but I had to try it for myself. We were in the mood for Pasta but didn't feel like driving a long way and I remembered my good friend Dan Edwards trying several Italian themed dishes here and I enjoy his food reviews so had to give it a try. First this place is far from I thought it would be like inside. Quite nice actually with a large dining room and a great little lounge to hang out in. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The menu Is a surprise as well with a great selection of dishes including Pasta, Burgers and Sandwiches, Pizza, Full Entrees, and of course Appetizers. We Ordered, The House Made Lobster Ravioli. $23.00 The pasta was cooked a perfect Al Dente and the Filling and Sauce were so delicious that we mopped every drop off the bowl with the tasty Garlic Bread. So Good. We Also had The House Made Lasagna $21.00 Damn never expected such a fantastic Meat Sauce and perfect tasting House made Noodles. I wanted to lick the bowl. We each had a side Salad and again was amazed with the in house dressings. I went with Ranch and Loretta had Thousand Island. Both were addicting. All in All I'll be coming back to try several other Pasta Dishes on the menu. Prices were very fair for the serving size better than most other places for the Quality and Freshness of the food. This place Is worth a visit if your in Ramona or near by. Sadly they don't open till 4pm every day. Enjoy read more

First time out in ramona for dinner. Just moved from Carlsbad last month. Live music from talent Elizabeth who brought county jazz and left is in awe with some impressive opera. Even more amazing was their down to earth, attentive staff. Brenda hosted us. She is friendly, sincere and genuinely cared when my fiance needed a simple tool - she found a rescue (saved the night!), impressed us with her charm, we'll definitely be back. Steak was great, I had penne - super tasty. Excited to come back for karaoke! Yee haw!! Found our new spot. read more

The food never disappoints and the cocktails are always AMAZING and delish. The ambiance is gorgeous and gives rustic and romantic vibes. Perfect for date night, girl's nights, and celebrations of any kind! Absolutely love their featured cocktail and food menus for special occasions and holidays. Their Happy Hour is also wonderful and karaoke every Wednesday night at 6:30pm if that's your jam. read more

Come down and really enjoy yourself at the Barn! The food is delicious and the vibe inside is so fun, gorgeous bar. It is a great place for a date night, definitely try it and you'll be back. They also have great bands, check on their events page on their website to see who is playing. And they have Sunday acoustic-type music in the back speakeasy part. It gets busy then so plan accordingly. It's a great, fun experience! read more

The Barn - Italian Near Me - Ramona, California

What a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at the Barn. We were greeted by Shelby who we know and were led to lounge. Shelby was our amazing server and bartender. What a wonderful person. We chatted for a while and then ordered tequilla drinks which were Don Julio Blanco with club soda and three limes muddled with mint. We also ordered the bruscheta and I had a small dinner salad. The ambiance was cozy and romantic. We then ordered dinner with my wife ordering the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and I had the chicken parmesan. Both dishes were prepared and presented perfectly. So tasty. After dinner we shared a piece of their amazing carrot cake. What a wonderful evening and Shelby and the other staff were amazing. Highly recommended read more

Extremely disappointed with my experience here. I have been going to The Barn for months now and the service here continues to get worse and worse. Extremely overpriced, low quality food and staff here is always disrespectful. Thursday nights, The Barn will host line dancing that have I been attending for as long as I remember and hardly any people ever show up but no matter what, we're always refused seating and treated with disrespect. This event was a great way to gather with friends and meet new people but It wasn't until this week, you may not attend line dancing unless you are 21+ which will make business a lot harder to keep since the majority of people attending, were minors. I'm hoping they change this requirement for thursday nights so I can return to what I looked forward to on every thursday out of my week. I'm hoping this isn't permanent and can return to the way things used to be here. Unfortunately, extremely unsatisfied with how things have been lately. read more

Excellent Food and the staff so friendly and welcoming! I ordered the Barn Chicken so so delicious!'

I was shocked to walk in and be treated with disrespect and attitude. I have been here multiple times and have always ordered multiple meals and tipped well. within 10 minutes we where approached by 4 different servers telling us if we don't order food our table will be taken from us. The restaurant was empty with only 2 other tables being occupied. When the 4th server came up to us (The owners wife) my girlfriend was fed up and told her that we are reoccurring customers and will order despite there thoughts, However we haven't even had enough time to get through the menu. She replied rudely saying "I am the owner and the tables are only for paying customers only". We were also told we couldn't get waters unless we ordered a meal while we were actively searching the menu . What made me decide to leave early was when the 2 owners were staring at us, pointing, and very clearly talking about us to each other. when we confronted them multiple times with the fact that being interrogated while trying to order food was an unpleasant feeling one of the staff continued to talk back also saying "this is called service". when we asked for a refund for our dancing wristbands after saying we where going to leave the owner finally apologized. I also have to note that my girlfriend has been coming here for the past 2 years with her family and has never had problems until the two of (that look younger) went alone. Terrible service+Frozen Lasagna. read more

The Barn has such a charming and visually appealing atmosphere, but it's disappointing to see how it's being mismanaged. When I visited, I sat at the bar and watched people line dancing, which was a lot of fun. However, when the music stopped, only one person joined me at the bar, and I quickly realized why - the rest were underage. It felt really uncomfortable. I have to question the safety of allowing so many teenagers to dance in close proximity to a bar full of adults who are drinking, without any clear way to identify who is of legal drinking age, not to the people that work here, but to other customers. This creates a potentially dangerous situation. It's crucial to implement measures to easily recognize minors to prevent any inappropriate mingling. Drunk adults should not be in a position where they could be watching or interacting with children in such an environment. On a lighter note, they add Dill to their Ranch Dressing which I personally do not like. read more

Great service food, music, and ambiance! Very friendly vibe and the drinks are yummy!!

Very good food and amazing, friendly staff. I also love that they provide live music.

I came with my little sister to this place. And can I just say that this place has a cute country charm to it. From the spacious parking lot to the decor on the walls and ceilings covered with mini disco balls for the line dancing nights right in front of a stage. The food seemed a little pricy so we went with the burgers, mushroom Swiss and bbq (can't forget the real name) but they were absolutely gourmet-style burgers. Meat cooked perfectly medium rare with the perfectly toasted bun and fries uniquely seasoned to a perfect crisp-not burnt. The burgers looked so perfect that we ate them so fast without even taking a proper picture Thank you chefs Our server Savannah was attentive but who really made us feel at home was one of their top servers, Shelby. With 20 years in the industry and a local, she really went out of her way to give us a tour of the backside lounge with bar, a slightly more modern country feel but very appealing for a guys or girls night out or date night. I also got to meet the owner, Vinny or Vito (sorry I felt embarrassed because I have not the best hearing) who was at the host stand and made sure to ask about our experience. His calm and collective nature made me feel like he's the kind of person you want running a mighty fine dining and dancing establishment in a small town like Ramona. As new residents of Ramona, I truly think The Barn is going to be one of my new favorite restaurants and look forward to celebrate life here soon. Blessings to yall read more

When this place first opened the food was fantastic the service was great. The food was amazing. All of it has gone down hill the longer they have been open. I feel like if they didn't have the music and dancing this place should have gone under. I hope they get back to the way they used to be but sadly I have been let down multiple times and only have 1-2 more times before I give up on this place. read more

The Barn has something for everyone in the family!!! Their great customer service is top tier, from the hostess at the entrance to the servers and bartenders you'll be treated with genuine hospitality. The food is exceptional and the owner Vito and his wife go above and beyond to check on customers. Their live music and dancing is another great addition if you're looking for a date night. read more

I don't understand how this place hasn't been laughed out of Ramona yet. it's overpriced odd pairing of Italian and western and horrible staff which the owner treats equally poorly. I hear he was sued for labor violations at the restaurant he owned before this in Pacific Beach. I don't see this place surviving much longer. read more

I am incredibly disappointed, angry, and frustrated with the staff at The Barn. We were treated with complete disrespect by our waitress and the hostess. I made a reservation for my friends and I last Thursday to eat and line dance at The Barn. As soon as we arrive, the hostess confirms we were there to eat entrees and we laughed it off because of course we were there to eat. Immediately our waitress greets us with entitlement, hostility, and clear agism because we are young adults. She makes it clear that we must individually order entrees and not appetizers in order to keep our table and avoid paying the cover fee of 5 dollars each, despite the table next to us sharing 1 meal between 3 people. After receiving our food the waitress neglected us and barely checked on our table and only filled our water once. In addition, we weren't allowed water refills after 8:00 pm. After receiving the bill there was an extra $25 charge for the cover fee that the waitress said would not be included if we ordered entrees (which we each did). I attempted to speak to the waitress to clear up the confusion but she said anyone who comes in after 8:00 (our reservation was at 7:30) has to pay the cover fee, contradicting what she said earlier. My friends and I have been loyal customers for over 2 years but as time has gone on The Barn's service has become rude and unwelcoming. Unfortunately we will no longer be attending this establishment. read more

We came to line dance; paid the cover; and all of us ordered alcohol but they wouldn't give us water without us paying for it. Disappointing. They seem to care more about a Buck today than developing long term good will. read more

Had my wife's birthday dinner there last night and couldn't be happier. The food, drinks and service was exceptional

Went back after two years and dinner was a mixed bag. The dining room wasn't full, but they took forever to get our food and drinks out, like really, really long. The Caesar salad with prosciutto (two mingy fried pieces of the stuff) was kind of gimmicky, but tasted OK, if a bit overdressed. At $18 it was also huge, more than enough for 4 people; they were stingy with the croutons, too. They brought out the salad and entree out at the same time, a real no-no. When I finally got our server's attention and had her take the steak back to the kitchen so we could eat our salad. Big lapse... The NY strip was cooked on point and generous, and the demi glace and sauteed 'shrooms were tasty as well. The mashed were just fine, too, but everything just took too darn long to get to us. Wine pours by the glass are still generous, my lady really liked her Lemon Drop, and the stemware is Riedel, a nice touch. Some manager isn't doing "their" job, as the service was really, really slow. Our server was really nice so I don't really want to dwell on this too much, but although our food was tasty the service and attention were spotty. Apparently another diner that was here on 8/4 had the same experience, so it's good to know I'm not the only one who noticed how slow they were. read more

Well ran into an old employee of The Barn at another bar & told him about by my last experience and that I don't care to return. He is still very much friends with a lot of current and previous employees. And explained the very large turn around of employees and why they can't keep people. Allegedly the wife of owner is very abusive towards employees and there is a LOT of talk about it on Ramona's Facebook & neighborhood APPS. That explained a lot ! He also informed me the owner has a servers daughter do social media & add good reviews. Which explains the drastic difference in the reviews. read more
