Barnstormer Brewing & Distilling Co. Brewpub Restaurant

Just moved to this area in Barrie so we decided to stop in for lunch after a long morning. Can safely say this will probably be our go to spot. Firstly, the service was fantastic. Amanda was our service and almost directly after bringing us water and beer, we had to comment on how nice and welcoming she was. We thought she might have been an owner but turns out she just loves her job, and that makes us feel good dining there. Secondly the food was also great. It was hard to choose what to eat, and will definitely have to be back to try the rest of the menu. Their beer is also super tasty, we bought 2 kinds to bring home with us. As well as their own hot sauce and BBQ sauce - a must have to take home. Can’t wait to be back.

We came here to have a beer and grab a quick bite to eat while we waited for our dog to be ready for pickup at the vet. The beer was pretty good, and they had a nice variety. Service was attentive and very friendly. The reason for the 2 star rating was the food. We ordered Irish nachos to share and they were 80% inedible. For anyone who's had Irish nachos in the past, you typically expect very thinly sliced potatoes. Our nachos had thinly sliced potatoes on the very top but had thicker pre-cut ridged potatoes for the bottom 80% (known as dollar chips in some pubs). The dollar chips were rock hard and it was physically impossible to bite through them. Not just a little hard or tough but actually impossible to bite through. The rest of the dish was stone cold and very underwhelming. I'm almost certain that this was mostly a day old dish that was reheated and served to us with a few of the thinly sliced fried potatoes added on top. By far the worst food order I've ever experienced in my entire life. I complained to the waitress who remarked that she's never seen the dollar chips on this dish before (essentially confirming this is old food that was reheated and re-used). She said she'd discount the order. I expected that she'd remove the nachos from our bill given we only ate 20% and it was completely inedible but they decided to only discount 50%. $9 for maybe a dozen thinly sliced fried potatoes, cold partially unmelted cheese, and cold dry chicken. Horrible. Long story short, come here for a pint but for your own safety, do not order the food.

Staff are awesome and so friendly and so knowledgeable of beer and their food menu. Pizza is so good and soooo many taps to choose from too. Always a stop when I am in Barrie !!!

Amazing food, love the chefs weekly specials to change it up, amazing beer for quick go-to's and the special ones now and then including those paired with the charities, my personal favourite is the windshear Watermelon summer Ale. The staff is fantastic, very friendly and personable, super quick and attentive and a laugh or 3 mixed in there too!

Located on Yonge, these guys know how to make a beer. The porter and IPA were top level and add to it the great decor of the place. Also had the best men's room ? we loved our time there.

I had a great experience here! The atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning & warm, & the staff were super friendly & easy going. Our food came out quickly & well timed. I shared a plate of the jalapeño infused honey fries with bacon & garlic aioli: great for sharing because it can be heavy on its own, but the flavours were outstanding!! I also ordered the brisket tacos & WOW! The pickled onions & side sauce served topped it off, I would highly recommend! ✔️ I paired my meal with the cider, which was a light, easy drink. There’s so much more I want to try on their menu & I will be returning!

Barnstormers has great food and an amazing drink selection. It could have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for a small misunderstanding. We were asked if we wanted gravy (without being told it would cost extra). Made it seem like it was included - but we got charged for it later on the bill.

Amazing food, very friendly service, and super clean! I especially love the Brisket Sandwich and the Fries. They are out of this world! The food is on time and service is friendly and professional. Love the plane decorations. The whole atmosphere is calm and positive. I loved every minute of the experience! You will definitely see me back here!
