Barrel House Social

We had an amazing experience here during restaurant week, where a prefixed menu was available. I'm not normally one to go for salads but I thoroughly enjoyed the one offered here. The staff were friendly and the restaurant had a great vibe. Will definitely be back in the future to try other items on the menu.

Not bad at all. $50 for the salmon bowl, artichoke dip, a hard cider, and tax, seems a bit steep, but with inflation I can't really say much anymore. The food was pretty good. Not "fall off my chair" amazing, but def worth a second visit and the ambience is great for dates and groups. There's a beer garden in the back that looked cool, and the staff was friendly and attentive.

Very nice. Good selection of beer. We had the blackened cod sandwich (a wee bit overly salty) and a burger (looked a little over done but tasty). The fries were excellent - they had a smoky undertone. The waitress did not give us the special lobster fest menu. Had we known, we would have tried a lobster roll. Everything was over priced for sure. But, it is LaGrange after all.

I am a new fan of the Barrel House Social, after getting it mixed up with the Barrel Club in Oak Lawn (review to come). Bottomless mimosas and bellinis are bottomless for a very good price! Tasty too! Keep ‘em coming! For appetizers, the Brussel sprouts and elote (no pictures) were excellent picks. The elote is the 1st place I’ve had that was actually good. I get authentic elote regularly in my Chicago neighborhood and Barrel House Social has a good replica! My entree was the Whiskey-glazed salmon. I enjoyed the potato accompaniment with the asparagus. A good choice. For the birthday celebration, we had the flourless chocolate cake, which was also good…and dense! Friendly, attentive staff as we! I will return!

This experience was not superb. Stopped in for a beverage while waiting on a train. I didn't feel welcome just stopping in with a friend for a drink at the bar. However, the restaurant looks nice and they have a lobster fest coming up. I'd give it another shot for the full dining experience. For a quick goodbye by the train station, not so much.
