Barnaby's Public House

Went on a Saturday morning for brunch. Our server let us know one of the menu options was unavailable (Jambalaya grits), okay. Three in our party (4 total), ordered the Mediterranean Benedict, but were told they were out of the fried feta base of the dish. I then switched to get the pork belly Benedict, which the server stated was not all pork belly but a 50/50 split of pork belly and bacon, as they were modifying multiple menu items in advance of an August 20th menu change (it was July 29). It was stated repeatedly during ordering that I am gluten-free. We ordered the premium bottomless mimosas, and were not told they were out of one of the juices (mango) that were included in the price until we asked where it was. Additionally, the “blood orange” juice was saturated with food coloring. My pork belly Benedict arrives and there is no pork belly whatsoever, only bacon, and 4 slices of marble rye toast are placed across the dish. I asked where the pork belly is and they said they were out, so I asked for another menu as I didn’t want to have a pork belly Benedict without pork belly, and be charged for pork belly. I ended up ordering eggs and bacon since I didn’t trust the kitchen at this point, and I knew they had eggs and bacon. The server was very understanding and kind, and did not charge me for the “pork belly Benedict” that I did not touch and sent back, but I will not be returning to this establishment. Changing multiple menu items over 3 weeks before a menu change with no update on the patrons’ menu, repeatedly not mentioning absences in food items, and disregarding my gluten allergy are all unacceptable, and I would strongly advice anyone away from this establishment.

Was disappointed to find that this restaurant actually doesn’t have gluten-free bread for their burgers, despite what I’d read on this app. When I asked for a gf bun they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. Good enough food in general, but definitely not GF friendly.

Pretty disappointing. I informed the waitress of my allergy and was told the kitchen was "very careful" about allergies, so I was initially excited to have a new good place. So many items on the menu are marked gluten free including fried things like wings and plantains. After placing my order I was told there is no separate fryer, so the fries are not safe but more importantly, the GF bun option for the sandwiches is also NOT SAFE because it is fried. So.....kinda defeats the entire purpose of having a GF bun. I had meat loose on a plate with a side of Brussels sprouts. Both were honestly delicious, but wow it was a huge let down for someone with celiac.

Absolutely delicious, the bartender was extremely nice, caring about allergies and made us feel safe about the food. The vibes of the place were really cool and laid back. Bartender was super friendly. There are many gluten free options, most of the menu Can be gluten-free accommodated. They have a dedicated fryer it seems because we ordered cauliflower wings, French fries, and on the menu the tostones were marked gluten free and those have to be fried. Would recommend just double checking but it was all delicious and safe. Loved it. The only downside is their weird schedule, would’ve gone again if they were open Monday-Wednesday. Definitely worth it.

A little overpriced. Good flavors. Couldn’t/wouldn’t toast the gluten free bread I provided them for my burger. Ordered a burger. Asked if they could toast the Gluten Free bread I brought. Waitress said “Yeah, I’ll have the kitchen toast it up for you so you don’t have to assemble your burger at the table.”......like most restaurants I frequent.Burger came to the table with the GF bread I provided on the side, still semi-frozen and the waitress told me the kitchen couldn’t toast the bread because it wasn’t on their menu. ...Really Barnaby’s?? I’ve been to a thousand other restaurants who will throw the toast on the flattop, grill or you know a toaster and it’s not an issue. Thanks for making me eat cold soggy bread with my burger. Not sure what the deal with that was.
