Barnstormer Brew Pub & Bottle Shop — Restaurant in New Tecumseth

Went for dinner for the first time on a Tuesday evening. Not busy, quiet inside, about 3-4 other tables were occupied. Great service. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Price per cocktail is $11, a bit steep in my opinion. Kids got burgers and fries, good size portion for $10 each. Fries needed some salt but there was salt and pepper on the table. The burger patty had a strong garlic taste (not a bad thing) and could have also used some salt, it was homemade and juicy. The kids dessert which was vanilla ice cream and a choice of chocolate, caramel or raspberry sauce was also a large portion. We also ordered, the fried cheese curds, jalapeño infused honey and bacon fries ($7 for a small bowl), pretzel with beer cheese dip and the fish tacos. It was taco Tuesday, the tacos were $1.75 off ($15) and we got a free refill of a glass of beer! The cheese curds and pretzel with beer cheese dip ($15, additional pretzel $5.50, additional beer cheese dip $2.50) were our favourites. The marinara sauce that came with the cheese curds was cold and was definitely from a can, not a fan. We could not taste the jalapeño in the honey and the fish tacos were bland, really lacked flavour. We wanted to like it but it needs to improvement. Overall, it was a good experience, the food came out hot and fresh but I think there’s room for improvement with recipes and they need to reevaluate the cost of certain dishes. They offer gluten free (including beer) and vegetarian options as well. Total cost...

What a great neighborhood restaurant. It might not seem like much from the outside or the location but this is a shining example of you can't judge a book by its cover. The restaurant is medium size but when the weather is good the patio adds a great deal of available tables. Sitting inside or outside you still get to notch service. The server was very friendly, patient and helpful. He was always available when we needed something and gave us lots of room to enjoy the food and drink. The menu was smaller but it has lots of variety. The food was presented well and tasted very good. A lot of care and attention went into the prep and cooking of our meals and it showed. Being a brew pub the beer selection was excellent. It had the standards and their own house brand. The house brand were very good and it was a great compliment to the meal. They do have a bottle (can) shop if you want something to go but be prepared to buy some food to go with it due to liquor laws. Overall it was a great experience and i was impressed pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. I'll...

I had never eaten at this spot on the N-W side of Alliston since it changed from CW Coops. My son had been and said it was good, so we headed there for a meal the other evening. I really like the atmosphere and deco, I would say this is their biggest strength. Very comfortable and a place you would want to hang out. The restaurant was slow on a Thursday so no problem with service. The menu has a good cross section of options We started with a pound of wings to split. Chipotle rub. We found them too breaded or overly heavily seasoned. Would have gone for a sauce seasoning if we had known. We ate them all the same. I ordered a smoked brisket sandwich, it was very good. The side salad was very fresh. My son had a burger and fries which he said was excellent. We had the crème brûlée for desert, very good. Overall we enjoyed the experience and food and would go back in...
