Barnacle Bistro

Very clean, friendly staff. Only a waitress and the cook there, due to staffing issues but they did a good job. I had the candied jalepeno burger with garlic fries and Better Half had the pulled pork with blue cheese sandwich. The burger was good. The garlic fries were clearly not freshly made and dry. The blue cheese was very light on the sandwich. Overall a decent place to eat for the prices, which were very reasonable.

We were a larger group. They don't have large tables. We were offered two smaller tables which was fine, but we were informed we would be charged a mandatory gratuity for being a large party... I am ok with this when we can be sat together and share dishes like a larger party generally does, but when separated this does not make sense to me as we are not able to do that. That being said mandatory gratuity to me makes no sense because they are undertipping themselves from what I normally tip anyway. The approach was the bigger issue in this case. Our waitress was great. The food was good. If we were local we would go back despite the approach at the beginning. The fish and chips (we got the garlic fries) were delicious. Garlic fries were amazing! The coleslaw had little to no dressing on it was the only downside to the meal.

Angel met is with a smile and told is to seat anywhere we like. Her coworker Jason was running the grill. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the food, homemade in house and delicious AND the service was perfect. Check this place out, be patient they are just an army off 2 battle your hunger for you.

We went here during the “off season” in late December and were informed there was only one employee working front of the house and one cooking in the back. We were very surprised by how quickly the food came and that it was hot given the limited number of employees.

I ordered the special which was cioppino and was very pleased with the amount of crab. The stew was delicious and the amount of toasted bread served with it was generous.

Others at the table had a hamburger and fish and chips. The hamburger was decent, but nothing exciting. Fish and chips was good with a large serving of fries.
