"This was my first time, its cheaper to park along the street, the parking lot across the street is at minimum $15.00. Lesson learned. It a small place and the tables are close together just a warning. But i loved the quaintness of the place. The drink menu was very good and they offer local breweries. I had a cider and it was delicious. I ordered the meatloaf that came with Mac and cheese, very creamy and delicious, and stewed tomatoes which was good not too tart, it was topped with crispy onions. It was delicious and a large amount so I had lunch for work the next day. So full I couldn't even get desert so sad cause I wanted to try the cookies and milk. Go try them, no disappointment."

"We kicked things off with espresso martinis and Irish coffee—both were stellar, though the martini definitely stole the show for me. For dessert, we tried the banana bread pudding, turtle cheesecake, and the sweet potato molasses crème brûlée. That crème brûlée was incredibly smooth and creamy, like an elevated, indulgent twist on sweet potato pie. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the desserts we ordered—they were all fantastic."

"What a cute spot with nice atmosphere, may seating options and friendly staff. The fried olives and sweet potato & molasses creme brûlée were the standouts! The soup of the day (butternut squash) was also delicious and was paired with my bunless burger in place of a side for a $4 charge, and it was well worth it. Side note: restrooms are clean and pun-filled for any 🤓s in need."

"10/25 - There are competing restaurants around, hope Brood & Barley can attract a bit more high end customers with better service & polished/ experienced staff at the bar as well as the table service. I like the restaurant, and willing to pay for it. Best clear ice in town - well done!!. 8/25 - The the bartender in the selection and the many options continues to impress me. Probably one of the best on this trip. (6/2025) update - food, service and reasonable prices continues to make this place good. (Previous review) Good spot for good food at reasonable prices. Drink menu is great! Plenty of options - the bartender & the service team are excellent. Kudos to the management for running a great operation. Will be back soon."

"As visitors to the area we found Brood and Barley while reading reviews and we are so glad that we did! The rif on a chicken Philly was one of the best sandwiches I've had in my entire life! Tender chicken with some spice, a blueberry compote, and fresh basil... sounds like a combo that might not work... it was amazing! I'm going to have to try to recreate this at home. My husband enjoyed his pastrami sandwich too. The homemade chips were delish.... not greasy at all. The handcrafted cocktails were top notch! All of this was served in a welcoming atmosphere with a great vibe... check out the salt & pepper shakers.. quirky fun! We'll be back before our trip is over!"
