Barrel House — Restaurant in Davenport

Barrel Hpuse was a great place to eat. We went there to meet up and have munch with family members. The staff was great and very friendly. The food was very satisfying.

For our appetizers, we had the fried pickles and The Spicy Cheese Curds. These were a geray way to start the meal. The pickles had a crunch batter and a good flavor. They came with a ranch dip that infound was not needed if you did not want it. The pickles were good on their own. The Spicy Curds were very good and had a good level of spice to them that did not drown out the flavor of the cheese. They were also not greasy. They came with a dipping sauce as well. I found that they actually tasted better without the sauce as it made them a little too sweet for me.

For the actually lunch I come the Mac Attack burger with added cheese. This came with fries that I up graded to the truffle fries. The burger was good over all. The macaroni and cheese that was on the burger was creamy and had a good flavor of its own that did not take away from the taste of the burger itself. The only improvement I would make is to make the Mac more of a slab or slice of Mac the was cooked and crisped before being put on the burger. The burger patty was juice and flavorful with a soft warm bun.

For dessert was had an order of the fried cheese cake. This was a wonderful part of the meal. The order came with two pieces. One was drizzled with a red sauce that was either raspberry or strawberry. The other had a chocolate drizzle on it. The chocolate one was the better of the two, thought both were very...

First time trying this place and was hoping for good food. My daughter and I walked in to a practically empty place and were told to sit where we want. The server brought our drinks and menus and never came back. We proceeded to watch all the tables fill up and another server work to take care of all of them. After a good half hour or more, I was able to get the other server's attention to try to place an order. She didn't realize our server had never returned so she took our order. After waiting over an hour, and watching a couple of other people who arrived when we did leaving, we finally got our food...2 burgers and fries. I ordered the 2AM burger and the daughter got a regular burger. Both burgers were definitely overcooked,dry, and rather bland. The bacon on my burger was barely cooked, which I generally don't mind, but kind of expected a little more done from a restaurant. They put a skewer through my burger, to which pierced the yellow of the egg and so it was running on the plate when the food arrived. The bun was quite hard, also, as I thought it was toasted but didn't really see tell-tale marks on the bun. When we finished and paid the bill, the server said both of them were fairly new and our server got overwhelmed. She apologized for our wait. I'm thinking the kitchen staff must be new as well, or at least I hope a seasoned cook would not put out such food. Overall, I had high hopes for a nice place to eat but I don't think we'll...

I was disappointed in multiple ways and would likely not return. The menu is actually pretty extensive, but based on my meal I don't know that anything would really be all that good. Perhaps the basics are good, but I worry that the interesting things that make the menu appealing would not be well prepared. I had the roasted poblano burger: patties were juicy, bun was very good, and the overall flavor was good, but the roasted poblano peppers themselves were either WAY overcooked or not fresh (canned) and the standard fries it comes with were not particularly good either. So they can make a good burger, but the one thing that is supposed to make them stand out was a complete failure. Add to this that I went on a Tuesday, and according to the menu, all burgers are $3 off on Tuesdays. Except apparently only after 4pm. I couldn't find this anywhere on the menu at the time, and I have since referenced the menu on their website and I still don't see that this offer is only available at certain times. And lastly, something needs to be done about the...
