Barrett's Barleycorn Pub & Grill

The maverick burger may be the best in town. You won't be disappointed! This is a go-to lunch spot in midtown Omaha.

Barrett's is definitely an Omaha staple and one of my favorites. The food is always hot and delicious. Definitely recommend the Beef Philly Dugan Style (in a Bowl, no hoagie) and Loaded (Peppers, Jalapenos, Mushrooms, Onions). If you're a Midwesterner, you judge a place on how good their ranch is. I'd put it up there with Runza ranch - 10/10; homemade ranch is where it's at. The service is always wonderful! Even as we walked in, the gentleman wiping down the window said he grew up in a world where ladies are first and held the door for us; so sweet and loved his enthusiasm. I've always had a special love for Irish pubs/bar and grills because every day is St. Pats and who doesn't want to celebrate. Sláinte!

Good food, good times at an Omaha classic.I tried The Blarneystone, as I try to order something that at least references Ireland if I am an an Irish bar.I liked the taste, but based on the description of "cubed turkey breast" and red onion, I didn't expect it to have such a soft texture, almost a purée. It made the sandwich quite boring to eat. The red onion was barely noticeable, would have been nice to have some sliced red onion to put on it. Or some pickles! That chip wasn't really satisfying. My daughter had the Reuben. It's definitely good, especially the meat on it. Not nearly enough sauerkraut taste or texture though, and to me that's the important thing. But a lot of people think the corned beef should be the star of the show, and I definitely recommend it for those.Crinkle fries were really good. The ketchup was kinda bland. Seems like a silly thing to complain of, but I just need more acid in a meal and some Heinz would have been better.My husband was very happy with his fish and chips. He checked first to make sure they have malt vinegar, otherwise he won't order it.I guess i didn't realize how obsessed I am with acid. Never admitted to it before, anyway.Definitely a good place to go for a bar/pub meal, though I would like a little more variety for a more "pub" feel. It's pretty sportsy in there with lots of screens and noise and that's not everyone's cup of tea. By everyone I mean me.I was going to make a comment that eating (is that the same as kissing?) the Blarneystone didn't give me the gift of gab. But now looking at my wall of text about acids, I guess maybe it did?

This place is a delight! The vegetarian Philly cheesesteak is fantastic! If you can handle spice, add jalapeños for even more flavor. Great food and great prices, too! We split an appetizer and sandwich and had three drinks between us for less than $40 after tip. Highly recommend this divey little joint.

The reuben was delicious, the staff were friendly and hilarious, and I could see how this would be a favorite of the locals. It has an old Irish pub/bar feeling to it. Next time I came back, I will need to try the Philly that I saw ordered at the table next to me

Visited the area and tried the popular fried pork tenderloin sandwich. I thought it was good but at the end of the day it's a fried sandwich. Nothing special but locals think it's the best thing known to man. Service was quick and good prepared quickly.

After trying a Reuben Sandwich from another place in Omaha, and falling in love with it, I knew I had to try another version from a different restaurant. Unfortunately, the first place was better. Barrett's sauerkraut was a little too strong and less meat. Overall the sandwich and meat to sauerkraut ratio was off. It was still a good sandwich but probably wouldn't return. I also can't honestly remember if the sauerkraut was warm at the other place, it was served warm here and would have preferred it chilled. Overall, service was great, the Reuben was good I'm just not sure I'd return anytime soon.

Extremely rude staff. Fries are soggy. Parking is terrible. Probably the rudest staff I've ever dealt with.

Great French dip a little on the greasier side but the flavor makes up for it. Salad is nothing special just an average bar side salad. Ranch is awesome tbh ick creamy and seasoned well.

Was treated to a bday lunch with my family. It was a very busy early lunch and we sat right away. Service was great and the food??? OUTSTANDING! I had the pork tenderloin sandwich (available Thurs/fri) others had beef philly, Rueben, the Blarney Stone, and a kids cheeseburger. It had been so long since I'd been in for lunch and now I shall return very soon. Thank you.
