Reviews for Barrel House Social in La Grange, IL
Food was amazing! Our server was wonderful, attentive, and made so many great recommendations. They ran out of the beer we... wanted and comped us for two. The patio is super cute with ivy and string lights. Read more
Adjacent to the bustling and congested La Grange Road, we discovered an ivy covered patio that reminded me of the old world... Europe this time of the year. Stay awhile and enjoy the serenity and calm. The draft beers are legit, according to my husband,and the rotating cocktail menu appears to be the attraction here. And on a good day, you may see a young resident rabbit nearthe phone booth. We will be returning. Read more
Not bad at all. $50 for the salmon bowl, artichoke dip, a hard cider, and tax, seems a bit steep, but with inflation I can't... really say much anymore. The food was pretty good. Not "fall off my chair" amazing, but def worth a second visit and theambience is great for dates and groups. There's a beer garden in the back that looked cool, and the staff was friendly andattentive. Read more
I had a great experience. Thank you to our very attentive server. We will be coming back.
We had an amazing experience here during restaurant week, where a prefixed menu was available. I'm not normally one to go for... salads but I thoroughly enjoyed the one offered here. The staff were friendly and the restaurant had a great vibe. Willdefinitely be back in the future to try other items on the menu. Read more
I am a new fan of the Barrel House Social, after getting it mixed up with the Barrel Club in Oak Lawn (review to... come). Bottomless mimosas and bellinis are bottomless for a very good price! Tasty too! Keep ‘em coming! For appetizers, theBrussel sprouts and elote (no pictures) were excellent picks. The elote is the 1st place I’ve had that was actually good. Iget authentic elote regularly in my Chicago neighborhood and Barrel House Social has a good replica! My entree was theWhiskey-glazed salmon. I enjoyed the potato accompaniment with the asparagus. A good choice. For the birthday celebration, wehad the flourless chocolate cake, which was also good…and dense! Friendly, attentive staff as we! I will return! Read more
Very nice. Good selection of beer. We had the blackened cod sandwich (a wee bit overly salty) and a burger (looked a little... over done but tasty). The fries were excellent - they had a smoky undertone. The waitress did not give us the special lobsterfest menu. Had we known, we would have tried a lobster roll. Everything was over priced for sure. But, it is LaGrange after all. Read more
Barrel House Social offers flavorful dishes served by friendly staff, with extra tasteful events added in throughout the year,... such as Lobster Fest and Tiki Takeover. This is a good place to come when you're hankering for a big meat, potato, and vegetablemeal for a family dinner; craving a selection of bar appetizers to share with your partner at happy hour; or even just wantingto have a few drinks with friends later in the evening on their cozy, fully enclosed back patio! Add in both, their weeklytrivia and music bingo night, and BHS is definitely your neighborhood hangout! FOOD: Most of the items I have had from theirregular food menu were packed with flavor, from the whiskey glazed salmon to the mussels with a touch of spice. The appetizerdips are perfect during group chats or trivia nights. And, the shrimp bowl with avocado and quinoa seemed such an unlikely findhere, so be sure to read through descriptions on the whole menu, even in sections you might think aren't for you! SPECIALEVENTS: All of their event menus for Lobster Fest, Tiki Takeover, and Oktoberfest have been tasty, and some of my all timeBarrel House Social favorites! When they have these week long food events, their entire regular menu is always available — ifanyone in your party wishes to order from it instead of one of the specials. I have been to five events the past two years, andeach time, there were 3 special items (usually 2 entrees and 1 app) and 3 drinks (typically, a specialty cocktail andappropriate beer and wine) on the special event food menu. The whole restaurant is decorated in the theme, too! SUNDAYBRUNCH Although their Sunday brunch menu is limited, their whole menu is also available during this time — AND the mimosas aretruly bottomless. We never once had to chase down a refill, as our server made sure our glasses were continuouslyrefilled! DRINKS: BHS also has specialty cocktails, craft beers, and supposedly over 100 types of whiskey. I hope they bringback a wh Read more
