Menu

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!

Cheeseburger

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!

Roast Beef Sandwich

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!

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.

So nice

FROTY (Final Review of the Year) goes to the resilient Beef Barn. After undergoing a total relocation and fire incident that destroyed their mothership in 2017, they proved that storms are meant to be navigated. The new and improved location is a beacon of strength and community unity. The staff showed resiliency, keeping the standard supreme. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect! A barn vibe with rustic seating and a vibrant atmosphere. The food comes out quick, fresh, hot and delicious! No frills or thrills, just no nonsense, supreme, back yard quality burger! The warm months welcome an unmatched car show that draws in people from every generation. A tried and true story of perseverance! Thanks for the inspiration going into 2026! Cheers

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.

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.

Bacon Cheeseburger
Joe C.

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

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.

Roast Beef sandwich

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!

Tried the beef Barn for the first time while on vacation with my family, overall it's ok the atmosphere is really neat and the prices are fairly reasonable, the roast beef and roll was ok it could of used little more seasoning but not the worse thing I had, I also tried the pastrami I loved that way better, I also got a vanilla shake is was thick and creamy and great tasting, I did get their homemade chips too go they were good as well. As well as is did tried the broccoil cream soup that was also good too.

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!

How are the steaks here?

There aren't any steaks, just a steak sandwich and it's nothing special. I prefer the roast beef sandwiches.

Was there Saturday night w friends. Had a reservation and got seated w/in 5 minutes of arriving…read more Place was hopping busy. Had a great server. Drinks were very good. Had 2 appetizers that were fantastic! Ordered a burger, tuna poke bowl, grilled salmon and a shrimp dish. Everything was AMAZING!! Fresh, cooked perfectly, layers of flavors and abundant. Dishes were huge!! Cannot wait to return!! Recommend highly!!

We've been coming here fairly regularly for the past 6 years, so clearly they are doing something…read moreright. I'm going to start with the positives. I appreciate the varied menu. They usually have seasonal options and I love that. Drinks are creative and they have a lot to pick from. The ambiance is great. We actually enjoy sitting at the 'pizza bar'. It's fun to watch the cooks at work. There's no bad here and I'll come back as it's my local pub option. But when pressed to suggest a favorite dish recently by someone who was with us, I had to confess that I can't recommend anything. I've tried so many things on the menu and all have been decent but nothing stands out. If I was not local, I'd never come back. When I think of other similar pub-like restaurants in the state, (Charlestown Rathskeller, The East End) I travel way out of my way for them. Blackie's gets my business just when I'm not in the mood or have the time to take a longer drive.
