The Barn - Italian Near Me - Ramona, California

Arguably the worst place i've been to, to line dance. They treat their costumers (that pay the cover fee) that are just here to dance like animals. They have designated "standing room only" to the line dancers which isn't ideal but it's fine. Tonight however things were different. You're now not allowed to stand in the standing room only area!!! You are forced to be on the dance floor the whole time no matter what. Even when being a paying costumer for food now your whole entire party must order something and it can't just be one shared thing AND you have to PAY for WATER now!!! They don't even pour water in glasses anymore..... it goes straight on your table in a bottle. But you also can't bring in your own water even if you have low blood sugar and need your special water they don't care they make you walk outside to your car to get it. This place used to be great and now has severely gone downhill. Mismanagement, employees look like they don't want to be here and they don't treat anyone kind here. Constantly yelling at people. Miss when this place was managed correctly and they had good costumer service. read more

The Barn - Italian Near Me - Ramona, California

Was there over the weekend and waited for a steak for over a half hour, seems like they went out to find a cow and butcher it to make my steak, the service was just absolutely slow, there wasn't much of a crowd on a Saturday, the band that was there played pretty good, but I wondered why there wasn't enough people there, ambiance could be better but guess they'll have to improve their service first, I had to drink water because my waitress didn't ask if I wanted anything from their fully stocked bar, it's a shame cause I was really thirsty too, don't know if I'd go back anytime soon so I'll give it a few months and check to see if their service has changed, all I can say at this point is good luck to you if you eat there read more

We decided to stop and try the place out. What a disappointment. We stood at the front because their sign says "wait to be seated" The bartender came from behind the bar and greeted us and asked us if we preferred a table or to sit at the bar. We should have sat at the bar. The place was quiet except for a few people at the bar. The THREE waiters were all together gossiping, no wonder they didn't see us at the front. The waiter Shelby finally came to get our drink order and we asked a few questions about the menu, because one of us had food allergies. She had the worst attitude and acted like we should know the answers. For instance we asked if Barn Chicken had any breading or egg wash etc, she stormed to ask someone in the kitchen. She came back and couldn't even give a definite answer on simple ingredient questions. So we moved on and ordered more simple things, since we couldn't get a definite answer. We got our drinks from the bar and they were great. Our waiter then is talking to a lady in the kitchen with long dark hair and she comes out with an attitude saying "there is a THREE DOLLAR extra charge to switch salad dressings. I actually said you're joking right, she said "no, there is a charge to change." I said I have an allergy to the other dressing, so I don't want it, it's not like I'm adding a 2nd dressing, so why is there a charge? I said is there a manager that can explain that to me? She said " that's the owner right there who just told me." I asked for her to come speak to me. She then stormed off and went back to kitchen and they both proceeded to talk about us, with our table right next to kitchen door. We over heard "if they don't like it, to bad." It's not about the money, it's about the principle. Why would you charge a guest for switching to a dressing they can have, not asking for more. What was even more disturbing was she the "owner" kept looking at us, it was like she wanted to make sure we heard what she was saying about us. The other thing that bothered us, was this lady who Shelby said she was the "owner" was cooking food in the kitchen with her long hair down. DISGUSTING! After we got our salads we ordered a 2nd round of drinks. We saw the bartender make them and they sat on the bar while because Shelby was gossiping with the "owner". The bartender then walked our drinks over to us, because they were sitting at the bar getting watered down. Our waiter Shelby then walks out and actually got mad at the bartender saying " I was coming to get them" not a thank you. We were shocked. We were jealous of the service the bar guest were getting, completely different than what we were getting. It took all we had to stay, to get our food. When we finally got our food, fifty two minutes later ( with no other tables) it was ok. Definitely not worth the attitude from waiter, the "owner" and being charged for a simple salad dressing swap. The "owner" who by the way, who had a LOT to say, never came out to say it to us or to explain the three dollar for switching dressings. We actually looked up and online it says the owner is a man, so not sure if she is an actual "owner" . Whoever she is and the waiter Shelby who gave horrible service explains why this place is dead. We ended up thanking the bartender as we were leaving. We didn't get her name unfortunately, but she is a very tall blonde woman. If you or your children have any food allergies or intolerances DO NOT GO TO THE BARN. If you want long wait times for food and terrible table service then you will enjoy the barn. * update * I tried to call and speak to a manager or owner regarding our experience and the young lady who answered the phone asked me " who I was and what it was regarding" That's when Shelby came on the line. I asked for the manager or owner and she said " I'm the manager, how can I help you." I asked to speak to the gentleman owner. She said "he is unavailable, how can I help.?" I left my name and number with her and explained I wanted to speak to him about an experience. I have not got a call back, so here we are. The place has a great concept and so much potential, but unfortunately it' clearly has terrible management. read more

We hosted our rehearsal lunch at The Barn in Ramona and had such a great experience! The restaurant itself is clean & has a great environment. The staff provided amazing service for our large group and they were extremely accommodating. We had looked for a few weeks to find a place to host our large party of 20, but The Barn was extremely welcoming of our group. On top of all of that. the food and drinks they served were great! They had so many options to chose from and all our guests loved it. I would highly recommend The Barn to anyone! read more

What an amazing first experience here!! The management was running around all night until the band started, to make sure everyone was seated and comfortable!! I've never experienced anything like this!! Amazing Restaurant, wonderful staff and phenomenal food!! I'll definitely be back!! I came to see Journeymen and looked at the menu online and liked several items!! Between what I ordered and what my two friends ordered, I tried it all, none of their food is disappointing!! Will 100% be back for more!! Thank you!! read more

Tried out their breakfast on Saturday. Had a large group so the service was a little slow but understandable. Food and drinks were all very good. Had the college football games playing on the 11' projection screen. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We'll be back again. read more

Really great food and service and they never disappoint. I went there with my family last night for my birthday dinner. I started with the house salad with fresh blue cheese dressing followed by their out of this world French onion soup which is served piping hot as it should. My entree is their whopping 18 oz ribeye steak cooked to a perfect medium rare with beautifully cooked summer squash with carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. A must try for dessert is their crème brûlée, just try it. My brother in law's birthday is in 2 weeks and I know where we're celebrating. The service is above and beyond top notch, all the servers are super friendly and helpful. They treat you like a family member. I love it that we live only 2 1/2 miles from them :-) read more

I can't say I was like overly impressed. We went to the bartender and she seemed a bit snarky. I get that you're busy and understaffed probably but that's not a reason to be nearly rude. I asked if the sour strawberry crush was beer and instead of answering yes or no she handed me a sample. It was beer. We had a party of five and we paid for our drinks each separately and she acted like this was a huge hassle. I actually apologized to her since she seemed so put out. Someone in my party asked if she could make a whiskey smash and her response was not right now. One person from our party went to the other side of the bar to get a nicer bartender. (Later she did come to our table twice to clear up the drink situation so she didn't make them wrong because the person who wanted a whiskey smash DID order it-again and accidentally ordered it with peanut butter whiskey!). But her sour strawberry crush attitude really set the tone for our evening. We got sat at our table and our server seemed pretty unorganized. I don't normally care for Mac and cheese but the menu description sounded so awesome when in fact it was mediocre and watery at best. It only had a smattering of panko crumbs. We ordered the bruschetta crostini as an appetizer and that actually made it to our table AFTER our meals. We had forgotten we ordered it. Two people ordered the Western burgers and they liked those. The other two besides me ordered the Mac and cheese they were also underwhelmed. read more

Made reservations a week in advance, called to make sure they were in and they weren't. Waited over one hour for food, and some was not even the right order. Used to enjoy it here but the place has gotten pretty rough. Wont be coming back. read more

I've been here several times and have recently started taking my friends here. I have had their burgers, pizzas, salads, and more. What I like best about the Barn is the wide selection of foods, a true Americana restaurant. The bar is likely the largest in Ramona, and they'll make whatever you want. They have live music and I think dancing (Western ?) almost nightly, though I haven't stayed for it. read more

Brought my childhood buddy from Minnesota in for dinner. He asked because we were at the Barn a couple months ago. He loves the atmosphere since I brought him there the first time. Guys night out so we ordered from Jessica at the bar ( super Bar tender, she made a Malibu for him, just Amazing) The Honey siracha Wings and a Pizza with sausage and pepperoni. one word: OUTSTANDING!, the music was great for a Tuesday night. another Great evening at the Barn. HIGHLY RECOMMEND? read more

We have been to the Barn twice now and both times they had run out of items on the menu, so I can't give it 5 stars yet. Our waitress Leslie was awesome and the manager Kevin was great also. We had the lamb, Mac and cheese and the BBQ pizza. All of it was pretty good, but when we hade the French onion soup it was oily. It is fun to watch the line dancing. It is a nice change for Ramona and we will back. read more

We have really enjoyed going up to the barn from San Diego on most Thursdays to dance. It's a beautiful and friendly space, really makes you feel at home. Danielle is usually our bar tender and she's AMAZING. We walk in and she knows our order and only after about two weeks. This place reminds me so much of Incahoots and I highly recommend it. The energy with the outdoor dancing is family friendly and refreshingly fun. If you haven't tried this place then give it a go. read more

I have given this place multiple chances because I really like the energy and the customers. As to the service and staff, it's a problem. Recently I took my son here on his 18th birthday, which ended up to be a Thursday line dancing night. We arrived at 7:30 and ordered quickly. At 8pm no food was on the table so I asked how our order was coming along. It should be up soon, I was told. No problem. At 8:15 I asked again and was told any minute now. I thanked my server and asked for the manager, who did not visit my table at all. The server then came back and told me that the manager knows about my order not coming out but the normal wait time for food is 25 to 35 minutes, but tonight things are backed up. At 8:30 my son and I got up and left and ended up getting burritos. Disappointing for sure. Great music and dancing and patrons but management is ruining what could be an amazing place. With the crowds that they are getting, the owner might consider bringing in an experienced manager to make this place great. I'm still hopeful. read more

Local favorite, they have a great selection and the bruschetta is delicious. Highly recommend

Our server, Stephanie, was amazing. She should be working at a five star restaurant in Las Vegas. The last time we ate here the service was OKAY. What a difference a server can make in creating a memorable dining experience. Thank you Stephanie for great service. We will be back! read more

The Barn - Italian Near Me - Ramona, California

Just moved to Ramona hubby heard of this place so we went on Friday. Place was completely packed, not 1 person wearing a mask or social distancing.. as company states. Waited for a table for 30 mins, felt unsafe after Bartender told us they were short on waiters because several waiters out sick. We left!! read more

Great place to eat! Atmosphere and steak was really good and scooped perfectly! Service was pleasant and fast.

First things first... SERVICE was incredible. I mean 110% above and beyond. Leslie took such good care of us. We are new in town and she made us feel like we were family. Leslie knows everything about the drinks, pairings and was proficient in making recommendations. Literally the best service I've had in years. Now for the extraordinary food. I had the lobster raviolis, my sons had the vodka pasta with chicken and salmon. Everything morsel was DELISH!! We indulged in a shrimp cocktail and garlic bread, too. Note to self, big servings of food so if you fill up on bread take your time cuz your gonna need time to digest all that yumminess! Five stars for NOT no frozen food. Nadia zip - legit everything is FRESH! We ordered fabulous drinks from the full bar and each one was amazing and not watered down. Rounded out the meal with a Limoncello cake. That one will be on repeat for sure. Learned they have live music and Dave lessons and bands every week. Super stoked to have stumbled upon the Barn. Thanks to Vito (?) for turning the (whisper is disgust) Sizzler into this gem! We will be back!! So sorry we didn't take any pictures. Just trust me - ask for Leslie's section and she'll take great care you you! read more

The only good thing here is the drinks and ambiance. Food and service are poor. Very slow

Good times, Good food, GREAT PORTIONS, GOOD THEMED ATMOSPHERE, SPORTS BAR section, CLEAN Restrooms, not over priced like most local spots, family friendly til 9pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays due to "Country Club" turn over and only 21 years and older are admitted. Service could use a "Getty Up" but considering employees shortages and employee retention I totally understand special out here in Ramona, Julian Ranchita, and surrounding rural communities. Will continue to support this restaurant!!! read more

Great food. Great ambience. Great place to watch ballgame and live music. Service is mediocre.

Just so everyone is aware, if you go to The Barn on Thursday nights and get a reservation everyone at your table has to order or they won't let you sit. We were there for 10 minutes and while taking the lesson our kids were sitting at the table and a very rude waitress came up to them and said if you do not order in the next few minutes you can not sit at the table. They also said they have to be big meals not appetizers or drinks. The waitress made a few of our kids cry and when we asked to speak to the manager they said they were to busy to talk to us. I am beyond upset as we go every week and I bring people line dancing all the time. read more

Tried The Barn for the first time. We were happy to see a new place for breakfast. Loved the western decor and music. We were hoping to love the place and go for dinner, but we were very disappointed in the service and food. The server who seated us barely spoke, and we got the feeling that we were an inconvenience. After waiting 10 minutes, another server came to take our order. Food was out in about 15 minutes, but not everything came at once. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy ($15) and scrambled eggs ($6). I ordered the American breakfast ($14) - eggs/bacon/potatoes/toast. The side of eggs and the toast came out 5 minutes after the rest of our food. Also had to ask for salt and pepper. The toast was only one small piece of sourdough. The potatoes had more bell peppers and onions than potatoes. We were not offered refills on drinks (coffee $4 and diet Coke $3). The bloody Mary was good and average price $10. The server brought the check and we waited for someone to return so we could pay with our credit card. After 10-15 minutes of waiting, we just paid cash and left. Overall, food was OK, but nothing special. Prices were high for the portions. Servers did not give off a welcoming vibe, and did not seem happy to be there. We will not be returning. read more

Food was terrible. Service & Ambiance where good. I order the Cannelloi which my stomach regrets. I started to feel nausea half way thru our meal. I realize I should have not order Italian food from what appeared to be a western bar. Half of the menu was Italian and they have a pizza oven, so I didn't think about my choice. My wife ordered the western barn burger medium and it was a well done cooked burger. She said she would rather have a burger thru a drive thru next time. There was a stage hopefully the live entertainment and drinks are better than the food. I recommend to go anywhere else. read more

Really good food. Our party of 5 all enjoyed our appetizers and entrees. And the little one loved her dessert. Very happy to have The Barn in Ramona! We need more places like this that pay attention to the quality of ingredients and nice presentation. Not to mention, the atmosphere is really great! Again, it's all in the details. YIt's a spot to get a little gussied up, or to come as you are. Cannot wait for them to be able to have indoor dancing! read more

Walked over tonight from our hotel room, which is meh. We had a lot of fun! Ordered ordered the barn salad, French onion soup, lasagna, half rack of ribs with garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious! And it all seems like everything is prepared in-house. Exceptional service (we sat at the bar) and got to listen to a great honkey tonk band. Anyway, lovely spot and not to be missed if you are having a night in Ramona. read more
