My wife and I visited a few days ago partly for the history of the barrel. I mean, it is food coming from a giant barrel! Who wouldn't want to experience that!! The novelty is cool. The three stars come in only because of the wait and seating. I rate restaurants based on my total experience from tip to tail. Its a cash only type place which is fine, no complaints on that, but the line to just order took 45 minutes.

We had 10 people in front of us which was about 5 groups or so. I know things will be slower in a tiny barrel, but my goodness. I saw 3 employees, one taking orders and two cooks. After ordering I waited another 10-15 just for the two hotdogs and mac and cheese. Again, slower is expected but hotdogs aren't that complicated. With the proper prep in place I can construct a proper gourmet dog in under 2 minutes. I think that can be improved upon.

Their root beer is delicious and the food was very tasty! No complaints on food quality. One hotdog fills me up. I had the chili and mac hotdog along with a side and chips and it was plenty.

The only other recommendation I could make is more seating. If making the hot dogs takes that long in a barrel then pump the ordering line through and get people seated with ticket numbers and get them drinking the root beers. Maybe offer $1.00 refills or something from a separate window and people will be drinking more root beer while waiting for the food. Just a thought.
