While exploring the beautiful Bartonville area with winding roads, large estates and plenty of small farm charm, we stopped at the Bartonville Store for lunch. This quaint spot has been standing for more than 140 years and now serves as a restaurant and live music venue on the weekends. The bar is dark, woody, and full of character and gives off the kind of vibe that makes you want to come back for an evening of music and drinks. We chose to sit in the bright front room with its abundance of windows and natural light. We started with the deviled eggs topped with bacon jam for an appetizer. Those we gobbled fast. I ordered the Wagyu House Burger with whipped jalapeño, goat cheese, and bacon jam served with tots. The burger is hardy cook cooked well and the goat cheese was a standout. My date had the chicken fried steak and after stealing a few bites I can confidently say that's what I'll be ordering next time. That was absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and friendly, making an already enjoyable meal even better. We left full happy and completely charmed by both the restaurant and the surrounding area. read more

TOO LOUD. Stepped up to the bar, and the bartender(s) were too busy doing a shot to take my order. 15 min later, still waiting for a bottled beer. HARD PASS. read more

We've been going here on and off for years. Considered it a great hole in the wall local to us. But highly frustrated to be charged an extra percentage for using a card to pay. "Non cash utilization fee." This is on top of a $25 per person cover and tax and tip. Literally 3 drinks and our tab was 110. I could listen to a better band down the road for free. read more

Love this place! Service was prompt and the wagyu burger was delicious. I will be back to have more items off the menu. Maybe even catch live music! read more

I ordered the BYO bowl, which comes with 2 eggs and 3 sides, and added 2 extra eggs (scrambled) with avocado, hash browns, and sausage. The food arrived on a plate instead of as a bowl, which threw me off a bit since I was expecting it to be served the way it's described. The hash browns were the highlight -- good portion and tasty. The sausage patty, though, was a little tough and had an odd texture, and it was just a single small patty. The avocado portion was also pretty tiny. I also tried a side of sausage gravy, but it wasn't the classic country-style gravy I was expecting. It was thinner, more heavily spiced, and had big sausage chunks instead of a crumble. It wasn't a bad meal overall, and I'd still come back -- I'd just try something different next time, maybe the steak and eggs. read more

They advertise happy hour Wed-Sun on their website. "Join us at the Bartonville Store for an unforgettable Happy Hour! Enjoy drink/food specials from 3 PM to 6 PM on Wednesdays-Sundays. Cheers to great times!" When we arrived on Sunday at 4pm the wait staff said no happy hour on the weekends our web site is wrong. We drove 30 minutes to enjoy happ hour! Numerous cigarette butts on the ground as you walk in. Open mic is cool, but way too loud. The champagne my wife ordered was flat with no bubbles. The bartender insisted she just opened the bottel. Not a good experience. We left and went to Marty B's. read more

We were so impressed with the food! The chicken was amazing. In fact my wife, son and myself all got chicken! And they had live music on a Sunday morning. We're definitely coming back and coming more often. Great spot for food and to just hang out and listen to great music. Great service too. read more

They get the 4th star for the service and the ambience. It's like the only country diner I grew up with. I liked it quite a bit. Our server was polite helpful and attentive. The food was very good, but to me, that is 3 stars. We started with the deviled eggs. They are good, but something like you would get at home. They have a bacon jam on them which was a little sweet but still good. They garnished the plate with red onions which was very potent. I would 86 those as a garnish. My wife had the Rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries. She gave the sandwich 4 out of 5 stars. No sauerkraut, but she said it had a really unique flavor. The sweet potato fries tasted fresh as opposed to the kind out of a bag. I had the chopped steak with mashed potatoes which came with a side of green beans. The steak, mashed and gravy were solidly tasty. My on complaint were the green beans. Tasted like they came from a can and were very mushy which makes me think today isn't the first day they have been on the heat. I would come back again. read more

Went on a Wednesday for the open-mic session on the back porch (enclosed). Casual and relaxed atmosphere. Very much a local vibe. It's acoustic only so when you come in the front door and see the basket of foam ear plugs--you won't need them on the porch on Wednesday nights. Full food and bar menu back there. Stephanie did a fantastic job serving a lot of people. Hope she's working if you go. Moved to the main restaurant area around 8:30 to listen to the MainStage live music. Tony Pierce was playing. Great guitarist and singer. Many might need the ear plugs at this point, although I thought it was just about right. Had a couple more drinks and enjoyed the local, live music vibe some more. P Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area. Glad we have something like this close by. Will start going more. read more

New favorite spot. The negative reviews that are less than 4 starts are out of their everloving minds and looking for something to complain about because they've never had a lick of fun in their life. The food is DELICIOUS- get the chicken fried chicken. The menu is full of options- we were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of selections. All the staff are sweet & attentive while having fun. Drinks are well made! Such a fun, welcoming, warm and charming place. You'll feel like a local instantly. GO NOW! read more

We held a birthday party for a group of 30 and it couldn't have been any better! We had a private patio(enclosed based on weather) and were able to come in and decorate prior to the party.

Nice place. Went for a music event. The place was quickly packed on a Sunday afternoon. I had the spinach artichoke dip, very good. Great atmosphere. On my list of places to make a return visit to. read more

Burger was not juicy even at medium as I don't do rare burgers. Mac and cheese was a block of cheddar cheese with no panko. Tatar tots were seasoned well and crispy and chicken fried chicken was flavorful. Been a while since we have been back and like before a mixed bag of good to okay. read more

We came for Sunday brunch. We loved the setup and layout of the restaurant and store. Make sure to get a reservation. We did. Our seating was great. The place filled fast. Excellent service, friendly waitstaff. Food was good. And so was pricing. We both had the Wagyu Eggs Benedict. Yummy. We also tried the Bloody Mary. Again--yum. Can't wait to come back for live music. Everyone--remember there is a charge for live music. Understandable and acceptable charge...just know that some people complained about it. read more

Fun and eclectic place to enjoy delicious food, drinks and live music. Converted old general store into a restaurant, old fashioned bar and music stage. The food is home style with a touch of gourmet flair so it's even better than mom's cooking. Sorry mom! Fresh vegetables and we had the deviled eggs as an appetizer. All excellent and just the right amount not to go hungry. They had live music performing during a weeknight who had a nice voice and didn't overwhelm the restaurant being too loud. Good experience with the staff being on time and friendly. Highly recommend going there. I have returned as a repeat guest! read more

First thing is the service. At the price point of the food the service must be better. Applebees has better service. The food itself is not good. Burger and fries $20. Chilis burger is at least as good if not better. Live band spent an entire hour doing sound check. Bad experience across the board. read more

We had reservations for 4. The host was great, sat us at our table and was very courteous. The waiter took 20-30 minutes to come back for a 2nd round of drinks and to order our food. The food finally cane out and unfortunately did not meet our expectations. This was our first time trying the restaurant. All of our food was cold. My husband's burger bun was hard. The shrimp tacos, cold and also the beans. I had to track down the waiter again to pay our bill and when I expressed my concerns, he only said sorry to hear that, what?! This was a birthday celebration. Disappointed is an understatement. The restaurant was not even crowded. read more

Has one of the best meat deli counters in the area. Cool old store atmosphere with some good seat down food as well

This place was recommended to me by my aunt. A friend that lived in the community said it was no big deal but I chose still to go. I ordered the nachos full-size for $20 from the apps section of the menu. They have chili and brisket on them. I was very much looking forward to these however, I did not enjoy them. I could not eat them because the chili was so sweet (some people like this) and there was very little cheese or brisket. I know it looks like there's a lot of cheese, but what you see is basically all there is underneath that are plain chips. The brisket actually looks like shaved meat. I did enjoy the sour cream and guacamole, and the service was wonderful. I sat at the bar. When I told the lady I did not enjoy the nachos she gave me 30% discount on them. I was very appreciative but unsure if that was the best solution. I decided to grab some ice cream on my way out. I had a choice 1 pint for seven dollars or a half pint for $5.50. I have a native Texan so I decided to go big or go home and went with a full pint of Butterfinger. When I went to pay and was charged $7.95 and with tax, almost 9 dollars. When I mentioned that it was listed for seven, the cashier spoke to the manager and they changed the chalkboard sign then gave me my dollar . I did not enjoy the ice cream, said no one ever but me right now. I couldn't eat it and I love ice cream and Butterfinger. It's hard to explain why, but it just felt like it had a gummy texture and It had a chemically aftertaste. Definitely want more butterfingers too I'll try it again bc I loved the little store atmosphere and it has music sometimes. read more

The store is pretty awesome. Great food, strong drinks and a decent happy hour that we weren't made aware of until our third visit. Our most recent visit was on Father's Day, which was a bit chaotic. They were either over booked, or someone called out sick because our food took over an hour and a half to get out to us. Channing took great care of us, kept us hydrated and inebriated and we had a great time regardless. Would 100% recommend the store, and as new argyle residents, we'll be back again and again. Super fun times! Also, for the sake of my review, ambiance. read more

Terrible experience. We had a 1:30pm reservation for Mother's Day and were immediately warned that we would have to "be patient" with the service. No smiles and not particularly welcoming! I ordered the Sausage, Biscuits & Gravy. "Sorry, we're out of sausage (wait, aren't you a meat store!?) I then chose the Chicken & Waffles. "Sorry, we're sold out". At 2:40pm, we realized how long we had been sat there being plied with drinks and appetizers which at this point had totaled $140 (this included a $13 charge for five of the tiniest deviled eggs I've ever seen). Most of the diners had already left the premises and the live guitarist had also packed up. We asked how long our order would be and were told "another 20 minutes". At that point, we decided to leave. The manager on the way out, apologized and said that "it was really bad today". We ended up having our Mother's Day lunch at Braum's as we were starving! What a disgrace! read more

I came here on a Wednesday night to see a band I follow. It's not a huge venue, although I think there is more seating outside for nicer weather than February in North Texas. Service was great, first by Avery and then by Sophie, who were attentive and non-obtrusive while we enjoyed the 2.5 setlist. For being a chef-run restaurant, the food was meh at best. The half order of nachos we started with were stale and a distasteful blob of stuff on top. We didn't even finish them. We also split an order of their street tacos, after each having one, neither of us wanting another one (there are three to an order). The best food item we had was the fried brusell sprouts (an upgrade charge from the normal side of beans with the tacos). Overall, I would come back for the bar part, and maybe to try something else, but it would have to be ANYTHING other than the three things we did eat, because they were downright horrible. read more

The food was very good, great atmosphere, we sat on the back patio because we did not have a reservation, which I didn't realize we needed one, but apparently their most popular band was playing there on Saturday night 05/11/24. The food was good but a little on the pricey side so we just ordered a sandwich and salad with a drink. And the bill for 2 with tip was $80. I would go back again, but would call and make reservations next time because felt we were sitting in the storage area where they had a lot of chafing dishes pots & pans stored possibly for Mother's Day Brunch, but at least we had good company because there were several of us back there because none of us had reservations. read more
