With a barn-wood façade and porch that bring Cracker Barrel to mind, this establishment welcomes their patrons with a choice of rooms: a frontier-style bar up front; a fancy Victorian parlor; a barn room with a modern atrium roof; a more formal room antlered like a hunt club.
Located off of Van Houten Ave in Clifton, the Barrow House is large (8,000 square feet), with tables comfortably spaced for about 214 seats. The reservation was easily made 2 hours ago via Resy for dinner, and my partner and I are glad we did, as the place was crowded.
Greeted by the host upon arrival after our last visit 2 years ago, the interior vibe creates an instant sense of relaxation and comfort with the Christmas decorations making one feel right at home, and our table was ready in the hunting room with trophies: stuffed turkey, wild boars, pheasants, and deer.
Their menu consists of the standard American fare. For starters, we shared a giant pretzel with grain honey mustard and cheese sauce. For our main, we opted for the fried chicken and crispy cod fish sandwiches. Both accompanied by crispy fries.
Our food was so good, well-balanced with the right levels of flavor and delicious.
The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a wonderful dining experience, especially our server, Enrique. While the prices are slightly higher than average, it was well worth it, which we can continue to recommend.
