DELCIOUS ! The menu is small but has great sandwich's and salad options. It was our first time here and we were confused at first because we didn't see a hostess. We asked the take out area where do we go for seating and they said sit anywhere that's open. I thought that was different, but I like it! I love the vibe, the decor and the theme ! The pickles, burger, and steak sandwich was great. Staff were even better! Super friendly, attentive and kind!! It gave cute mom and pop homey vibes. For the price and the great service why would you not come here ?? We will definitely be back! read more

Such a cozy and reliable spot that's the perfect go to for a quick Sunday lunch or dinner. Pricing is amazing and I hope it stays like this always. Rustic/farm vibes inside with plenty of seating. Fry portions are small but they're also $3 so it balances out. Service is done by young teens who couldnt care less if you live or die but the charm of the place is its casual vibes so it fits. Don't forget to grab some ice cream right next to the barn when you're done! read more

The iconic beef barn! So simple, but so good. Plastic plates, forks, and knives. Simple menu, simple concept. I don't know what it is, but the steak is a thin cut steak packed with flavor. It comes on a toasted bun. Everything is ala cart so I get mushrooms and cheese added. The cheese melts to a nice silky texture on the steak. Add no frills fries and a no thrills salad with Italian dressing and we are good to go for $12-cant beat it! read more

Over Thanksgiving break, I visited my brother and family in Sutton, Massachusetts. They introduced me to the Beef Barn, a fast-food spot about 20 minutes away that serves delicious traditional smashed burgers and an amazingly juicy, crispy chicken sandwich. The menu also includes salads, tenders, milkshakes, and more, all of which I can't wait to go back and try again. It's also very budget-friendly, so I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

The Beef Barn - So nice - American Near Me - North Smithfield, Rhode Island

Cruising out in the hot rod, I ended up heading for The Beef Barn. For a holiday weekend, this place was jamming. Upon entering the business, I asked one of the workers about seating or grabbing a table and she said sit anywhere! She was so polite and accommodating, plus she ended up being our server! Once seated, the menus were already on the table, along with extras, like ketchup, hot sauce, barbecue sauce, salt, pepper, celery salt and the likes. I placed an order for the coffee milkshake while I was looking at the menu. My friend Rick ordered a root beer. I gave him a snide look, as I thought he would order a milkshake since they were so reasonable my priced! Within a few minutes, our drinks arrived, and we placed our order. My friend Rick ordered the roast beef sandwich, with a side of french fries and salad. I was ready to choke him for ordering the salad. Salad? Really? Add a few dollars to the salad french fries combo and he could've had another sandwich. He realized that afterwards. I ordered the roast beef sandwich and a hotdog. After about five minutes of waiting, the food arrived. And there was my glorious roast beef sandwich, a generous portion of beef, shaved, on a hamburger roll. The 8" hotdog also looked great. I would call a ripper, ready to rock with raw onions on the hotdog also. Ricks roast beef sandwich was the same as what I ordered, and accompanied with french fries and the little pity salad. When he realized such a mistake, he put in order for the milkshake to fill him up a little more, I laughed. I sprinkled celery salt on the hotdog, and it just popped with flavor. I suck down that hotdog in about four bites! It was delicious! This was an excellent choice at $3.50. My roast beef sandwich was simply amazing. The roast beef was so professionally seasoned and delicious, it was served warm and shaved on the hamburger roll. I think I could've ate another two or three of these. They were that good! The Beef Barn is an institution that should never be missed if you are in the area. This place is well run, clean, and all the help are so friendly. The food is so reasonably priced and delicious no matter what you order. If you get there with a line, no worries the turnover is quick; people eat, and leave from what I've seen. Parking is a breeze also. I love Rhode Island. The beef barn makes the visit so much better. Yes Newport is nice, but there is so much more to see here. Start with this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

If you're looking for a great roast beef sandwich and home made chips, this is the place to go. The menu is simple and has been the same for as long as I can remember. That's okay with me, this is the type of place that you order the same thing every time you visit, because it's just that good. This new location is situated on a lovely pond, which is a drastic contrast to the busy parking lot scenery of their original location. read more

Missing Something Used to be my favorite place. Very unique place in the area. Always inexpensive. My favorite item is the bacon cheeseburger. The burger was so overdone that I had to slather it in the signature barbecue sauce. I like the old location. This place has lost a bit of its mystique in the new location. Just my opinion. Thanks read more

The Beef Barn - Bacon Cheeseburger - American Near Me - North Smithfield, Rhode Island

I've been here twice. The food and service are consistent. The atmosphere is a rustic barn. It has a Texas truck stop like feel to it and they seem to play country and western music too. The prices are very reasonable. Where else can you get a cheeseburger for 5.25 a fry for a couple of bucks and a dessert for around 3 dollars. They use paper and plastic cups, plates and utensils to keep the cost down. The place will be packed on a friday night. On my first time it was a little chaotic because I was waiting to be seated only to find out after a little while you seat yourself. Parking is plentiful, but I recommend parking further away because unless you have a tiny car you'll have a hard time getting out because the spaces are too small. They have an ice cream cafe right nearby and a park with a pond in back too. It's definitely worth a look. read more

Wins: cheap, simple, straight to the point food. Service is quick. There's a Parking lot and well kept grassy area complete with mini picnic tables, a gazebo and lake. I saw an ice cream shack but don't believe it's open yet on the property. Cons: basically glorified school lunch food is what it reminded me of. Nothing spectacular. I had the burger, fries and fish sandwich. All were good. They have like every sandwich you can get, full size pickles, shakes. Shake was thick and you can't suck it thru the straw much and I expected more flavor to it. Pickle was meh. This is a very causal setting which serves you on paper plates. It's barn style as the restaurant is named. read more

Not a big fan foods very plain and boring . I feel people just go here because they have no choice or they been going to long without knowing there is better options in 2025 . But if you're hungry and stuck in North Smithfield. Is better than nothing. Service was a little sarcastic, like I know you put your own condiments on your hotdogs, cheeseburger or roast beef sandwich everything's in front of you on the counter not my cup of tea to each their own read more

First timer - had to try it before we leave the state. Two drinks, two sandwiches and two fries for under $20! Place was packed but quickly seated and served. Great beef sandwich. I'm not often up that way but would return if I was! read more

I play field hockey at the indoor facility next door and this is my go to spot for dinner before or after my field hockey games! It makes for a great spot to either dine in or a quick grab and go. I'm a frequent customer and usually go always once a week. Service has always been top notch. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. This is the best place to get a bang for your buck! I always order a ton of food and my bill is always so cheap. The chicken tenders have a crispy breading and pairs great with their homemade bbq sauce - sweet and tangyyyyyy! Highly recommend! The hot dog comes with a lightly toasted bun and the French fries are always hot. The restaurant is authentic and country barn/rustic themed. It is literally in the shape of an actual barn and has its own distinct style. There are two locations - one in North Smithfield, RI and the other in Bellingham, MA. I've been to both and they are identical between theme and food. I tend to favor the North Smithfield location because it's in close proximity to the sports field I play at. This location also has an icecream shop footsteps away from the restaurant right across the parking lot. You can do a "sweet" 2 in 1 stop shop! Thanks Beef Barn and see ya tomorrow! read more

I have been coming to the beef barn since I was a kid (original location back then). It has never disappointed. When I walked in this time, I wasn't sure if it was still seat yourself or if we should wait to be seated. I quickly realized we could find a seat ourselves, so we chose to sit at the bar. We were greeted right away and quickly ordered drinks. While we were sitting there, we could see the takeout line and the kitchen. They were busy and it was nice to see how quickly and efficiently fresh food was being made. The environment is just so fun and cozy. The food was great and the prices are still very affordable in my opinion. I don't live super close, but I'm going to have to make a point to come back more frequently. I love it here and definitely recommend anyone in the area try it out! read more

The Beef Barn - Grilled cheese sandwich, roast beef sandwich, fries, and a coke - American Near Me - North Smithfield, Rhode Island

The Beef Barn is a staple in North Smithfield. The new location is located at 200 Industrial Drive on a nice piece of property. The inside of the barn is decorated as such "your classic style barn". There's also a decorative chicken coop seating area. Your food is served on either paper or plastic plates and plastic utensils, keeping the prices down, very basic and old school feeling and that's all it needs to be! There's no waiting for seating nor do they take reservations as it's first come first serve. You walk in find an empty table of your choice. What's better than that! They also have an ice cream shop on the premises, a must try after your meal. Tuesday afternoons are their car and bike cruise night located in their back field. If your in the area, and you're looking for a quick bite to eat, and a scoop of ice cream definitely give it a try! read more

Growing up in North Smithfield, The Beef Barn has always been a staple! Think "hometown, upscale fast food." The food is a great price but taste way better than any fast food chain. They are known for their roast beef sandwiches, but don't sleep on their pastrami sandwiches! I cannot stress this enough, but trust me and treat yourself to a shake - they have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or coffee! If shakes are not your thing, head over to Pound Hill Creamery right next door where they serve Gifford's ice cream! Also, stop by the Creamery for coffee and baked goods in the mornings! The Beef Barn really has it all! The restaurant is decorated like a barn with all these little nooks and crannies filled with seating. When you walk in, go ahead and seat yourself and one of the super pleasant and attentive waitstaff will be over to take your order! Be sure to follow them on social media for events they hold on the premises like summer car shows! read more

I went there for lunch looking for a good burger. They sure delivered, it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. They also serve beer, and it's easy to find something you like although it's not an extensive beer menu - that, plus the prices are excellent. The staff are helpful, attentive and pleasant and it's definitely service with a smile. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I will most definitely be back. They are definitely worth a visit, excellent! read more

The beef barn is an absolute homerun! Great menu, great service that's always welcoming, quality sandwiches served at a great price. The Smithfield location has counter top seating along right plenty of dinning room seating and tables outside for enjoying their delicious food on a warm day. They are known for their roast beef sandwiches but my GF and I don't like roast beef so we get hot dogs, grilled chicken sandwiches, fries and tenders. They also have a little creamery right in the same parking lot that offers delicious ice cream and shakes in the summer. 10/10 would always recommend! read more

Review of The Beef Barn - A Hidden Gem in Smithfield, RI If you're looking for delicious, no-frills comfort food at unbeatable prices, The Beef Barn in Smithfield, RI, is a must-visit. While they're known for their roast beef, I have to rave about their fish sandwich perfectly crispy, flavorful, and served with a side of pickles that isn't just a few measly slices but a full pickle, thoughtfully cut up so you can add as much (or as little) as you like. It's a small touch, but it speaks volumes about the quality and care they put into their food. Beyond the fish sandwich, every sandwich here is a winner--simple, well-made, and downright delicious. And did I mention the pricing? Unbelievably affordable for the quality you're getting, making it one of the best values around. But the real cherry on top (or should I say peanut butter?) is the peanut butter pie. It's easily one of the best desserts I've had in a very long time--smooth, rich, and the perfect way to finish off a great meal. If you haven't been to The Beef Barn yet, do yourself a favor and go. Great food, great prices, and a laid-back atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more. read more

Fast and simple and no frills. Inexpensive. Place was busy with a steady stream of people in and out. Servers are nice and fast. Beer and wine is offered. Food is served in plastic plates with plastic utensils. For $3.50 you can add on a small salad and handful of fries. Burgers are thin but we'll cooked- roast beef was good. If you don't want fast food but want something fast - this is the place to go. read more

Stopped here at 3:30 on a Saturday. My 2nd time here but my husband has been many and loves the RB sandwiches. Casual comfortable atmosphere inside. Walked in and server said to find any open table. It was pretty packed but we walked around and found one no problem. Waitress was very friendly and we ordered the RB and cheeseburger and large fry. Didn't wait too long and meal came out. Large fry is somewhat small in portion so we ordered another. Husband enjoyed the RB and my burger was very good, w lettuce tomato and red onion. Burger itself was on the small side, square shaped. I've had better burgers but it was good for the price. I gave 4 starts and not 5 simply because the portion on the smaller side but can't beat prices. Loved the pickle. Service was great and attentive. I'd be interested to try the fish sandwich from a review that was positive. The ice cream shop next to the Barn was excellent. Large portions and not expensive. Again friendly service w plenty of air condition seating inside to escape the heat. The cold brew peanut butter ice cream was amazing.Will definitely return read more

I love sitting at the bar! There's a view of employees freshly slicing the meats, and cooking them right there in front of you. The food is cheap here, and the roast beef tastes great! You have to add their house-made BBQ sauce! read more

My first mistake was ordering a veggie burger at a place called the beef barn. I have never had food poisoning so bad in my life. Might need to go to the ER for fluids. It was the only thing I ate that day. Three of the worst bites of my life. My mom's burger was so gross she had to toss it out too. Prices are cheap because they buy cheaply raised animals. read more

This business gets 5 stars, not because it's fancy haute cuisine but because they do quick, cheap, simple diner food very well. The interior is kitschy and rustic, with turn of the century decor and signage on the walls. I like to sit in the back of the restaurant in the chicken coop-themed room. Service is always incredibly friendly and fast and despite the fact that the parking lot is always full of cars, I always find a seat immediately. And the food is probably the best bang you'll get for your buck in the state. The fried chicken sandwich is my go-to. It always comes out hot and crispy, fresh out of the fryer on a toasted melt-in-your-mouth bun. The fries are also always piping hot and delicious. Nothing every tastes greasy or like it's been sitting out for a while. I'll often wash everything down with an ice cold IPA or a coffee shake and my bill is usually under $15. I almost never leave without taking some more food to go. (It makes for the best midnight snack too). Thanks, Beef Barn! read more

I went to the North Smithfield beef barn. Sat at the bar very disappointed in the service and in the food, I have gone here many times and it's always good this I sat down at the woman what I would like to drink had a root beer. Sat there for 10 minutes before someone asked me what I would like. She took my order in the meantime for other people came in and sat right near me one ordering nearly the same thing for other people got served before I did. I waited 15 minutes before I got my sandwich. I was not happy and the sandwich was not good at all. I got a chicken sandwich and it was way overcooked. it's because it was not very busy at all which it usually is. I think it'll be a while before I go back to the order totaled $15. I left a 20 and walked out. The woman looked at me and didn't even say thank you. read more

A no-frills, but cozy place! Definitely has the vibe of going to someone's house and eating delicious food. The roast beef is always soft and moist. The cheeseburger is well made, but nothing about the food here stands out as unique. Sometimes, that is all you are looking for though. Reliable, simple, straight forward, but tasty food. Sides and toppings are an additional cost, but the prices are always reasonable here! Service can be a bit slow at times when the place is packed, but they have always been friendly! read more

I'm a big fan of the Beef Barn! I think it's such a neat old school spot to grab lunch. I do agree with the other's that it is uber confusing the first time you head in. You basically just seat yourself, but there is no sign to specify that. I've ended up sitting at the counter both times, because the place is slammed on weekday lunches. The service is friendly, but slow. The serveers have a lot of tables to try and cover. The good news is, once you order, you're food comes out very quickly. My favorite item is the steak sandwich, I think it's better than the roast beef. I do wish they offered grilled onions though, they just have raw. The prices are super reasonable, for fries, sandwich, small salad, and drink it's around $10pp. My son also loves their pond with koi fish and waterfall. Next to the main barn they have a cafe and ice cream shop as well. They have really made it into a nice little area. I look forward to my next trip in! read more

I know many people come to the Beef Barn for their roast beef sandwiches, but I enjoy their cheese burger special. It comes with a small side salad and French fries. The service is always friendly and plenty of seating. The ambiance is comfortable, nothing fancy, but expected by its name "Beef Barn". Your tables are nestled within the barn. Decor of history of the restaurant hangs on the wall and the dinner tables look like old newspapers. Finally save room for one of their homemade desserts, some of the best chocolate cake you'll have or dare to try the strawberry rhubarb pie. It's very reasonable for two people to have dinner here! read more

Brianna was our server and she was amazing! Super friendly, so personable. Other patrons even asked her about her kiddos :-) I ordered the fried chicken sandwich special (comes with small side salad and fries) and Daniel ordered a double cheeseburger with bacon special. He also splurged and got dessert, peanut butter pie. The restaurant itself is a real barn and so clean and well kept. The food is diner- and hands down the prices are the best!
