RANT or RAVE?
Barnaby's of West Chester is such a struggle to those who like to dine out like Sarah and I. Although Barnaby's is mostly known for there bar and weekend scene for the college students of this town, it's also a chain restaurant. To start off with the positive, Barnaby's of West Chester has a pretty awesome bar setup. They have the downstairs bar area, the outside bar, the two big bars upstairs, and then two or three other bar areas upstairs. This makes for a great night out of drinking. However, the food isn't anything special. Although they have 'half off apps' nights, and pretty good happy hour deals... Barnaby's wouldn't be my first place to go to for a night out. There basic food like wings, fries, chicken fingers are pretty good... but as for there other meals, like burgers or pasta... they're kind of dropping the ball. Obviously some people would disagree with this statement, but after dining at some of the other restaurants in West Chester, like Landmark, or Iron Hill, Barnaby's is my choice of bar, or place to go to on the weekend for drinks, not for food.

Two friends of mine and I always go out for happy hour on Wednesday nights because that is the only day we really get to see each other during the week. We've done this every Wednesday since the semester has started. At first we were going to Barnaby's every, single, week... And Wednesday is their "$3 wings special" and $2.50 Coronas. So it was pretty much a no brainer. However after a while, the food started getting very boring and we got tired of going there. As college students we are on a tight budget so $3 wings was perfect. But after a while quality seems to be more important than price, and we started to go to Landmark instead. Their food is so much better and their happy hour starts an hour earlier! So I'd have to say RANT! It's ok if you don't eat there much or never ate there before, but it's no longer one of my top choices for food!
ReplyDeleteOhmyGod! I am so happy that someone else feels this way. I love Barnabys for it's bar (although, even that can get way over crowded) but their food is just not the best!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Barns is a fun bar to go to, but food wise it is boring and bland. And in all honestly, Barns is overrated. It gets way too crowded and it gets old very quickly. Although I somehow manage to end up there at least once a weekend, I try to venture out and find new places for the bar scene as well as food.
