Barrel Boar Newark

Friendly greeting and was seated immediately. Waitress promptly took out beverage order, served it and we ordered dinner. Food was quality we expected. We had a pleasant experience.

Service was poor, with a server who was very inattentive. No check ups for drinks and I was brought the wrong bourbon. Burnt ends were ordered and the portion was very small, especially for $22. The majority of my burnt ends was fat pieces. The restaurant has potential but lacks service and portions.

I loved the food, the place was very nice to eat at. I had the end of brisket which was delicious, the collard greens were unbelievably delicious, the baked brussel sprouts were very good. My son had a hamburger, I don't know the name, but he said it was fabulous, and he had a brownie dessert that I tasted and was extremely good. I had the bread pudding, but was disappointed with that.

Excellent service. Wonderful food. I had the Flying Hawaiian. I highly recommend.

I realize I had 6 people on Mother’s Day, but it took 30 minutes to get our drinks and 45 to put in our orders. The food was nothing to write home about and was unfortunate cold.
