Wings
Dwaine C.

This is a great place for food and drinks. They brought the delicious house pickles to our table. We ate half a jar. They sell them to go also. Our drinks were good. We ordered our wings well done . They were cooked perfectly. We tried the boss sauce that was like buffalo/ garlic. It was good. The sticky teriyaki was delicious also. Our server was very friendly. We looked out towards the lake at sunset.

Tuscan chicken sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries

Food quantity: 8/10 Food quality: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Ambience: 8/10 Overall rating: 8.5/10 Loved their sweet potato waffle fries! The Tuscan chicken sandwich was delicious as well on soft ciabatta bread. Would order again!

I had heard a lot about Vanbarrys and had decent expectations coming in, and overall, it was... okay. The atmosphere is definitely a strong point; its casual, lively, and a good spot if you're looking for a neighborhood hangout. The outside patio was nice, not too crowded and the nice breeze from the lake was awesome for a summer night. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The food, though, didn't wow me. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't memorable. We shared a pile of appetizers, which overall was fine, just lacking that standout flavor I was hoping for. Of course the free appetizer pickles are quite good, but skip the fried pickles, they lacked the flavor and excitement of the free ones. Would I go back? Maybe, if I'm nearby and want a laid-back spot for drinks. But it's not a destination spot for me.

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. Took some friends here to try the place for the first time and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We had a large group and were accommodated with no issues at an outdoor table. Service was prompt, helpful and friendly. I was able to customize my ahi bowl by adding the seaweed salad, spicy mayo and eel sauce to match some of the flavors in the other ahi bowl. I replaced the rice with salad to fit my diet. They have a laid back beachy vibe with a firepit in the middle of the sandy area. Adirondack chairs are circled around the firepit. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Sweet mocktail
Monica C.

We had a large group at 6:00 on a Friday and they were slammed! We were just there for dinner but they were showing the NBA Finals and the atmosphere was awesome. I had a "sweet mocktail" and the fig and pig flat bread. Both had great flavor but the flatbread was a little over cooked. Service was great and the prices are really fair for the portions.

Sunday evening dinner
Kerri C.

Such a fun place! Second time dining here and I really enjoyed it. My party of 12 was celebrating someone's birthday. Our service was good and our food came out in appropriate timing. Our Pot Stickers were decent. The Fried Pickles with that Honey Dijon is really yummy. I had the Mac & Cheese Skillet as my meal. It's luxuriously creamy, but gets almost too rich as you continue to eat it. The first bites are heavenly, though. The sweet potato waffle fries are amazing! We ordered the S'mores, which was a good time. We didn't play any of the available board games, but it's a nice option for families and friends. Lots of events are offered, such as Singo and live music. The atmosphere is family-friendly and enticing for sports enthusiasts, as well. Make sure you hop on that swan boat out front for pictures. I simply can't resist.

The frenchie!
Vikki B.

Our server was great. It was pretty quiet. The frenchie was delicious. Bonus is the pickles they bring in a jar when you get seated!

Sangria
Briana B.

Love sitting outside of Vanbarry's! Such a nice place to catch lunch on a nice breezy day. I've been going here for years and it never gets old. I'm a fan of their mac and cheese skillet. It's so good - definitely try it. I love their sangria option is great for a hot day. Service was very slow but they made it up to us. We understood though. A busy restaurant is a good restaurant.

I am a fan of the food and variety offered in a Tavern or Pub and have been wanting to check this place out. I like that when you arrive you were greeted right away and given a free jar of pickles. No bread for the table, it's a jar of pickles! Tasty ones too! I got the Mac Cheese appetizer and it was great gooey and tasty. I believe they used a lot of gruyere which was fine but just note that seemed to be the predominant flavor. I followed up with the French dip which was "ok" but I will say the waffle fries (sweet potatoe)were awesome. When they first arrived and in the photo they look like they might be a little over done but NO. I don't know exactly what they did but it seemed like they had a brown sugar bake on them. They were certainly delicious. I was too full to try any of the deserts but overall was a great experience

Happy Hippie Flatbread
Drew S.

Vanbarry's is a great vibe. There's always good music, often live, and there's plenty of TV's if you're trying to watch a game. Our service was awesome, quick and attentive. I got a flatbread that was really tasty, but everything I've had at Vanbarry's has been good. Definitely check it out!

Vanbarrys Bacon Jam Burger
Shelby W.

You literally can't go wrong with Vanberry's! From the moment you sit down with a plate of pickles as a starter (yes, please!) to enjoying some live music on the patio, this place just hits. The Vanberry's Bacon Jam Burger? Woah. Absolute perfection--juicy, flavorful, and honestly, I could've easily downed a second one. Paired it with sweet potato waffle fries, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Crispy, sweet, and the perfect complement to that mouthwatering burger. Even my 3-year-old cleared his plate with the Bare Naked Burger, which is basically a miracle. That alone tells me this place is a winner for the whole family. Great vibes, fantastic food, and an outdoor setup that makes you want to stay for just one more drink. Can't wait to come back!

This is a place to be. They always have different gatherings outside. Tonight was a motorcycle club. Great food, service in cool atmosphere.

Vanbarrys is a woman owned restaurant and you can tell because it's run very well. We're never had a bad experience here. Both the food and cocktails are great. I love love love the little s'mores fire that you can order to your table, so cozy!! They also have games like cornhole and ring toss outside.

We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!

Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar
