The Barn Steak House truly lives up to its name, seamlessly transforming a barn into a tasteful and whimsical restaurant. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the delightful details that added a unique touch to the ambiance. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

I went here for my Birthday and was not disappointed. The vibe of the place was exactly what I was looking for, elegant and fun. The drink selection was great for those drinking and not. The food was top tier delicious. In our party of 4 we split two apps, each had a main course and split 3 slices of dessert though we could have easily gone with just two. With beverages and tip it came to about $120 per person, is a great special occasion location or if your budget allows for an elevated experience.

Had reservations here when we were in town for Easter weekend. We dined here last year and had a fantastic meal, so we decided to come back this year. Appetizers were good, but my wife ordered a Vodka Tonic, which was either Vodka water, or Vodka Flat Tonic. We sent it back, which we usually don’t do, and the next one was fine.

Excellent meal in a warm atmosphere! The space feels intimate and warm despite it being a high ceiling, concrete floored barn… great design. Also manages to feel casual and elegant at the same time, with both the design and ambience. The meal was excellent. We shared the chopped salad, filet mignon with horseradish which was cooked perfectly and the red wine glaze is an excellent touch, the robuchon mashed potatoes and mushrooms which were both excellent sides, the crab spaghetti which has a spice to it and a ton of perfectly cooked crab, and the pecan streusel carrot cake. Everything was amazing, would recommend every dish. Worth the trip from the city up to Evanston for a meal that rivals the best steakhouses in Chicago, including all those hard to get resy Hogsalt restaurants.

We were around the area and this was our first time coming to The Barns. It was fully packed, so make sure to make a reservation. There were indoor and outdoor seatings. My partner definitely know this was going be a great place based on the unique wooden barn windows outside the building! He was right, from the food to the atmosphere, and the Barn Story, back of the menu! We ordered a few drinks, Australian Waygu, Shrimp spaghetti, Roasted South African Lobster Tail, and Mac&Cheese, everything were extremely tasty! All the servers and service were excellent! Beautiful atmosphere for an special date, celebration, or occasion! Highly recommend!

the Barn was amazing. The service was excellent, our server was friendly and prompt. The steaks were cooked to perfection and delicious. The mezcal Manhattan was wonderful. We loved the building, it’s a wonderful space.

In short – this place give a protentius feel and the food is too pricey. Because this barn gives an appearance of a fancy restaurant I’ll write my experience in detail.

They have a good selection of Bourbon. Ambiance was very nice. I was impressed by the side dishes and overall food preparation. I ordered the bone in ribeye which was delicious. I felt the steak was a bit overpriced, kinda tough, and thin. Server was a little forgetful. Overall, great experience and would probably repeat for some of the other dishes.
