Barley Mac

Very mediocre mac and cheese. Tasted also play doh-y. It could be a good happy hour place but purely for food, it's expensive for food you can easily make at home. Large space and service was very speedy though!

Delicious food and nice kitchen staff, but it was not crowded and service was super slow. It took an hour to get a bottle for mimosas and my trip was largely ignored. They were nice and again, bomb food, but I will not return.

Awesome food, reasonable prices, and great service at Barley Mac! I enjoyed the crab cake the most and appreciate the generous portions. The restaurant had such a cozy vibe during the holidays. Would recommend checking this place out if you're near Rosslyn!

Stopped by on a Saturday and it wasn't busy. We requested to be seated outside in the shade. Our waitress eventually came over few minutes and we placed our orders.We ordered the following:Barley Mac Tacos (Salmon). The salmon was good but overshadowed by the tomatoes. The fries were DELICOUS.Italian Meats Pizza. I am not sure what type of ground beef they are using but it tastes like dog food. The Pepperoni's were good but could be better placed throughout the pizza vs the dead center. The bacon is practically unnoticeable.The Buffalo Mac & Cheese was different. You can definitely taste the Buffalo flavor. I enjoyed the chicken with it as well.The crab Mac and Cheese was good as well. Nice portion of crab meat.The Margherta pizza was nothing special. We. Could do without.Overall the service was nice and the location is cool. The food however, needs some work. I don't think I'd order anything again except for the fries.Thanks for the time. I hope the food gets better.

Came here for a network event got dinner after on a rainy friday. Seats are pretty limited. One side is a bar and one side for the restaurant. The lobster mac was delicious. It could be a app to share or a full meal. Calamari was tasty. The wings were tender and flavorful as well. Price was high but taste was there so I cant complain. Parking all around the neighborhood.

NEW YEAR = NEW FOOD + NEW BOOZEMet up with one of my best friends for a New Year's Week happy hour and chit-chat session. We enjoyed several drinks and shared a few appetizers.What we had:STRAWBERRY MARGARITAJALAPEÑO DEVILED EGGSMEATBALLS CLASSICOPEPPERONI PIZZACRÈME BRÛLÉE CHEESECAKEEverything was delish. I'll definitely be back for more of the same and possibly a few other items I eyed on the menu.We were there on a Wednesday around 4pm and it wasn't very busy (at least in the section where we were sitting). Once we left, I noticed more of a crowd throughout the restaurant.The service was good and we were checked on often enough where we didn't feel badgered or ignored.__I eat. @f.huxI thrift. @DCthriftish

Came here with high hopes for the breakfast gnocchi. I love gnocchi, pesto and eggs. I was sadly disappointed. The gnocchi had the consistency of fried mashed potatoes bites with an after taste of hash browns. I asked for eggs over easy. They came out over medium. The egg white omelet was cooked well. It was very pepper forward, just be aware. The Bloody Mary was spicy but lacked flavor. Would not order again. The coffee was good. Service was good. Location is on point. Lots of street parking. They have a brunch menu with many options.

We went here in the summer on a weekend at around 4pm. It was not busy at all - the waiters were very nice, providing some recommendations and answering our questions. We sat outside and they were dog friendly, providing a bowl of water. The QR code scanned menu was a bit confusing - a few times, the beers listed on the QR code said it was on tap but the waiter said it was bottled. Some of the drinks also didn't have prices listed (but some did). Overall, their QR menu needs some work - I would recommend people ask the waiters just be to sure that a drink is on tap versus bottled/canned. I ordered a lobster bisque and we got a shared order of potato wedges. The lobster bisque was good - but the serving size was pretty small. I'd recommend it for someone who wasn't that hungry; it's definitely not a substitute for a meal. The bisque is very rich and flavorful - though a bit salty. The potato wedges were good. Overall, solid food - but nothing super memorable. The prices are a bit on the higher side and I don't think it's super worth it. If you are in the area, I would have no problem recommending this place - but I wouldn't go out of the way to come here.

I would just like to say the waiters are amazing my main problem is the lack of flavor in these dishes that are being served I don't know what's happening but each of of my friends say they food also lack the taste that is needed and just overall bland.

Went on a rainy Friday night around 5pm. It wasnt busy, but it was cold inside. The service was good. Everyone worked together - We had 3 different servers come to our table, plus a food runner. Food wasn't anything special, so nothing really has us wanting to go back...* Roasted Chicken Eggrolls - reminded us of Chili's Southwest eggrolls* Shrimp & Grits - don't think the size portion was worth $24 and the chorizo tasted odd.* Barley Mac Smash Burger - burger was good, fries were great* Kids Pasta (red sauce) - son said it was delish!* Kids cheeseburger - son loved it* Kids Mac n cheese - son was not a fan at all, but to be fair, he typically only eats Velveeta or Kraft
