The Barn - Exeter

The food is the worst in the area. Don't expect much from this kitchen. The wait staff is excellent but there is no way the food will keep these barn doors open. Never again.

I understand that there are limitations due to COVID and menus may be reduced, but the quality of the food should not suffer. I ordered a margarita, which was the worst I have ever had. It was served in a mason jar and I could not taste any alcohol in it. The rim was not salted and there was no lime slice. I then attempted to order a taco salad, but was surprised to receive nachos instead. I prefer a taco bowl and was not pleased with the dish served over taco chips. As a result, I did not order it. The Asian bowl with chicken that I did order had an excessive amount of sauce, which I did not enjoy. I hope that the food improves once things return to normal, but for now, I will be exploring other restaurants with better food. The service was good, and our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. Some members of our group said their meals were acceptable but not worth ordering again, including the fish and chips and the chicken sandwich. My husband had dined here last year and enjoyed it, which is why we chose this restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately, we were all very disappointed.

I ordered the pan-seared perch with seasonal vegetables. The portion of chopped cabbage was small, about the size of a shot glass, and lacked flavor. The perch itself was also bland. The service was very slow and the temperature in the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. I had visited this restaurant before for lunch and enjoyed it, but this experience was disappointing.

We chose this venue for a wedding and it was everything we hoped for! Beautiful old barn retro fitted with style and charm and not lacking in services in any way. The bar adds a nice touch, the surrounding grounds are very well-maintained, and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. Food was great too! Love this place!

The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the burgers. The salads are also quite good, although they are slightly expensive. The drinks are reasonably priced. The restaurant is located in an old barn that has been converted into the clubhouse for a golf course, making it a charming setting for a rustic wedding or event. The food is delicious and you certainly won't leave hungry.
