    Fried chicken sandwich
    Lauren H.

    This is a little better than typical bar food but it's still bar food. The chicken sandwich was decent. The fries were my favorite part of the whole meal. Now let's get to the creamy caramelized onion dip. Have you ever tasted something and instantly knew it would make you sick? That's what happened here. Something was just really off with this dip and I can't put my finger on it. My husband also said it was very strange and that he wasn't going to continue eating it. The chips that come with it are pretty salty (I love salt) and break apart when you try to plunge them into the cold dip. That's right, the dip was cold. I don't know if it sat in the fridge too long and possibly expired... We didn't raise a fuss about it because it could have just been our tastebuds that set out a red alarm. The service was really slow. Mind you, the three gentleman that I saw working were all at the bar and serving those guests as well so they were busy. I get that. We did have to get up several times to go to the bar for service. No biggy, just a heads up if you go and experience the same thing.

    Brunch Burger.
    Jay M.

    I've been here a couple of times now. Once back in 01/21/2023 and more recently on 12/26/2023. The first time we had brunch and I had the Brunch Burger, Macaroni & Cheese, Buffalo Wings and Crispy Fries. The second time I had the Cuban (not pictured) and the Fried Cauliflower. Everything tasted pretty good. For those unaware, I would make sure you have plenty of time to wait for your food. On our first visit, the food didn't take as long to get out to us after ordering as it did the second time. That could be in part due to the timing: brunch after the holidays and dinner the night after Christmas. We weren't in too much of a hurry and just enjoyed the time spent with family so no big deal. But again, something to be aware of to avoid anyone turning into a Karen or Ken! So far the food hasn't disappointed so I will return again.

    Love this park to walk, jog, run ....take your dog out or simple relax! Clean and great park that has many parts to it! Enjoy a nice trail and it's set up for so much more! Surrounded by restaurants and living ...this place rocks! Love a great concert here too and enjoy when the food trucks pull up!

    Onion dip with house made potato chips. Loved the chips so much but they were too fragile for the thick dip.  (12/8/2022)

    We trekked over to Addison earlier this week to check out Vitruvian Park's Christmas lights (if you haven't seen them I highly recommend you go!) and decided to grab a bite to eat in the area as well. Of course, I used my trusted Yelp to help find a place and we ended up at Vitruvian Park Tavern. We aren't big drinkers so we bypassed the bar (where someone had an adorable and well behaved pup!) to the few tables in the back after asking and being directed that way. We sat for several minutes before being acknowledged, which was irritating, but a bartender eventually brought us water and said the menu was in their website if we wanted food. I get it, this is primarily a bar so I understand that food is secondary. That being said, the food was fantastic! It way surpassed my expectations! We started with the creamy onion dip and house made potato chips since that's not something you usually see on a menu. The problem with this dish was the chips and dip didn't work well together. The chips were amazing! They were waffle fries that were cut very very thin. It was almost as if you could bend them without them breaking, if that makes sense. I'd love to know how they are cut that way and what seasoning is used! I am by no means a potato chip connoisseur, but these are probably the best chips I've had. The dip was very good but really didn't have an onion flavor and was too thick to dip the thin potato chips. It came with a spoon so we used that but even then the thin chips broke when we added dip. Both great on their own, and I'd still absolutely order this as a starter again, but the execution could be improved. We both had the "Double Patty Tavern Burger with American Cheese, Burger Sauce, Pickle and Steamed Onions". The meat was wonderful and the cheese was gooey - what else is there to say but "Yum!!" I would order it without the pickles next time. I normally want extra pickles but these were like bread and butter pickles and I thought they were too sweet for this burger. Dill pickle chips would be awesome on this burger! Even with the few things I would like to see done differently, I don't consider them important enough to me that I am removing a star - I enjoyed the food that much! And maybe the Christmas lights in the park didn't hurt either! :)

    Adult coco! (peanut butter whiskey and spiced rum)
    Anthony D.

    Nice place to go get some drinks to warm up after taking photos in Vitruvian Park. They serve a nice "adult coco" of peanut butter whiskey and spiced rum which tastes delicious and is also not too strong. They are pretty quick with orders, my qualm is that we couldn't find any hand sanitizer inside the store and it didn't seem like they were appropriately implementing social distancing or occupancy limits. It was a good place to stop by since it was near the park, but otherwise, I don't think I'll be stopping by unless I'm in the neighborhood.

    Roasted Garlic Hummus
    Brittney T.

    Loved this spot! We went after our Sand Volleyball game and it was the first time for all of us. Our waiter Elijah was super dope! He gave great food and drink recommendations! Food was great and so were the drinks! We had wings, fries, the hummus and the beef empanadas. I personally had the hummus and fries which were great! I would definitely order both again! We will for sure be back after our next game! This might be our new little spot! Oh and I had a lemon drop drink with tequila that was super bomb! #tryit

    Stating it is a Bar and that there is no dine-in
    Ryan M.

    I have been to the tavern many times, and enjoy the food and drinks, however after stopping by today I will never return. First of all, this is essentially a bar and should be shut down right now as of Gov. Abbott's order. They clearly have found a way to get around this but still defy yet another order for the safety of their patrons by not wearing masks. Not a single employee is wearing a mask even though they are mandated to. It is as if they are trying to go against safety protocols. I am extremely disappointed. They clearly state on Google that they are a bar, and are NOT serving food. The ice house across the street has shut down and has a full menu of food, they will be getting my business after opening.

    First time at Barrel & Bones and overall, I had a really solid experience. The service was…read moregreat--friendly, attentive, and on point from the moment I walked in. The food? Also good. You can tell they take pride in their BBQ; everything had that smoky, flavorful kick you hope for. I'm giving it 4 stars because while I appreciated the idea of an all day happy hour (huge plus), the execution fell a little short. They had a whole wall listing the options, but none of the usual go-tos like well drinks or anything comparable. The selection felt a bit too curated and didn't offer much range for casual drinkers or folks just wanting something simple. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu--just might skip the happy hour next time unless they expand the options.

    We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for lunch--parking is easy in the garage around the corner, so…read moreoff to a great start. But then we walked in... and were greeted by a faint, but very unfortunate odor. Not overpowering, but definitely lingering--like a bathroom situation gone mildly wrong. My favorite bar used to have this smell, and it turned out to be the pipes. And yeah, pipes are a pain to fix... but no one wants to eat while catching whiffs of mystery funk. We sat at the bar (no purse hooks, missed opportunity there), and I quickly realized I'd been to another location of this spot before. Hubbs and I split the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese & burnt ends - a real winner!! Also we split a brisket sandwich with sausage, subbing loaded potatoes for fries. The sandwich and the potatoes were flavorful but the bun on the sandwich was cold like it came out of the fridge, and the potatoes could definitely have been hotter (they were slightly warm, but definitely not hot). Unfortunately, I'm just not the kind of gal who sends things back to the kitchen either, sooo... The real highlight? Denise, our awesome bartender. She was sweet, attentive, and had all the best recommendations. The locals clearly love her--she knew their orders before they even sat down. When we mentioned the smell, she claimed she didn't notice it but said it's likely the pipes and would pass it along to the owner. So here's the deal: the food is solid, the service is stellar... but dear owner, we know you know about this issue. Please, for the love of burnt ends and loaded potatoes, fix the pipes

Incredible smashed burger with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, bacon, roasted tomato aïoli, and tomatoes on a toasted, brioche bun.

    I genuinely wish I had read the reviews before spending my time and money here. Let me start by…read moresaying this clearly: the staff themselves were NOT the problem. In fact, they were the only good part of my experience. The bartender took great care of me, and the KJ was friendly, welcoming, and made the night enjoyable. They seem like genuinely good people who are stuck in an environment that doesn't let them shine the way they deserve. Unfortunately, everything changed the moment the owner walked in. The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly -- you could literally feel it. His presence carried the exact same energy you'd see in a bad episode of Bar Rescue: arrogant, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile. After seeing how he treated his own staff, I felt compelled to speak up because these employees deserve so much better. When I calmly tried to tell him how his behavior toward them came across, I was immediately surrounded by staff who looked ready to escalate the situation. I don't blame them -- it's their workplace and they were defending their boss -- but the whole thing felt unnecessarily tense and uncomfortable. And here's the thing: I'm not the only one saying this. Look at the other reviews. There's a clear pattern, and it's not coming from customers having a "one-off" bad night. This place has potential because of the people working there, but the owner's attitude creates a toxic environment that affects everyone -- staff and customers alike. My hope is that the owner either changes the way he treats people or that people are aware of what they're walking into. Again, to the staff: you are not the issue. You were the highlight of the night. To future customers: read the reviews and decide for yourself -- but personally, I won't be returning.
