My new favorite restaurant!. Barley John’s is my new favorite restaurant. Their beer is excellent; my favorite being their house IPA. My wife and I went for lunch and agreed the food was very good. The bartender was very busy as he was also waiting on tables, yet he did a great job and even had their brew master stop by our table when I asked if it was possible to meet him. If you are in a hurry and want to be waited on hand and foot, go somewhere else, but if you want to relax and enjoy great food and possibly the best craft beer you will ever have, you need to check this place out.

Great beer, above average food, small space. It's best to go to Barley John's in the warmer months when there is seating outside. Inside is cramped, but I haven't had any problems with take-out. The food prices are a bit higher than some bars, but Barley John's uses quality ingredients. You get what you pay for! Mixed greens instead of iceberg lettuce, interesting pizza toppings instead of canned mushrooms and Cisco cheese.

I also promote the spicy items on the menu. Not too many places in MN have the balls to use habaneros and other spicy peppers, but Barley John's has a few items on the menu that utilize spice perfectly.

Fun but not very good. Sure, this place brews its own beer, but what it needs is some more customes. Then, the food might not be so terrible and the beer -- which is excellent -- wouldn't be so overpriced. I love Barley John's but it needs a lot of improvement.

Awesome food and the best beer to match!!!. My husband and I love to go out on date night. Our favorite place is Barley Johns!!! The grilled pizzas, artichoke dip and the seafood specials are my favorite. If you're in the mood for a burger, the buns are homemade and fit for a king.

I love the Wild Brunette beer-it is one of a kind! We always grab a growler ( half gallon jug) to go. What a crowd pleaser at the cabin. On Wednesdays sometimes we enjoy the 1/2 off bottle of wine and sit outside on the patio to watch the sunset.

On Tuesdays our kids eat for free...our kids love the french fries and the homemade mac and cheese and a kiddy cocktail made just right for kids.

Don't miss this jewel of a restaurant. You will not be dissapointed.

Don't go here for food or ambiance. We went here based on the star rating. The place lacked any charm. The bar was tiny, and if you like TGIF's food then you might like the food here. We left before we ordered as the menu was horrible. The beer was good, but that's about it.
