Some of the chicken was little burned and dry but overall the fresh cut fries, chicken, and sauce pairs really well with each other. Service was good. I don't remember being asked if my order was for here or to go but their policy is: if you order to go, you can't sit inside. I was offered the patio instead. It was hot outside and I would have rather sat inside with the fans and my already packed "to go" box, but I could not. It was about $23 which is the average range for Caribbean food.

Stumble across Red Barrel...the drinks were good and the appetizers sweet sticky chicken was decent the fries were tasty. But my pasta dish was FULL OF SALT. I couldn't finish it. My Freind and husband did the fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp and they cleared their plates so even though this is supposed to be an Italian place stick with the Mexican cuisine. The kid meal was a good deal and my 10 year old enjoyed it but it wasn't big enough portions so we ordered too. Will I be back? No but it was an interesting experience

It's gots a couple pool tables in back area with tables to sit and hang as well and some seating at the bar and a few tables up front. There's a couple small bathrooms, which were clean. I had a couple beers, a Stella (tasted off) and an anti hero, got a bacon burger and onion rings. The burger is good and so are the onion rings, are they the best I've ever had? No, but very good for the value, burger is a decent size with good quality bacon and nice grilled onions with the basics, choice of cheese. The service was fine, the food was better, front bar is not the biggest and probably fills up fast. I'd go again.

This was not a restaurant type place and the empanadas were to go. I told her about it and first she denied it then said she was going to bring me back $5.

I called my bank and after I told them the story, they advised me to get a police report which I am now doing. Terrible place

Lunch time menu doesn't have a lot of options but the choice were definitely good ones! I went with the chicken tips! When I tell you this was the best bbq I've ever tasted!

The catfish, collard green dip, and chicken were hood, but the fried green tomatoes lacked seasoning, the oysters were disappointing and the happy hour drinks weren't great. The reason for the review and the one star is the customer service provided by management. My to go order of catfish sliders was first delivered to the table next to us. After waiting about 20 mins for it to be corrected, I later realized I still never received it. After paying, I left the restaurant without my order. I returned about 10 minutes later after only going to the parking lot behind the building, but the manager refused to give me the food or refund the $10 because I had already left. They tried to say I was I had been gone for over 30 minutes, so the order was disposed of. It's unfortunate they are willing to lose a customer over $10 after I had spent $145. Instead of resolving a simple mistake, I had to dispute the charge with my bank. A $10 solution would have kept a customer. Instead, it's costing them one.
