The Barrel Room - American restaurant in San Diego - 16765 Bernardo Center Dr, USA

We came as the first table on Sunday noon for lunch. They share the kitchen with Urge so you have more food options which is nice. I ordered a Fig & Pear pizza with a salad on the side and my husband ordered a Brisket Dip with soup on the side. Both foods flavors are nice. The only issue was my pizza’s dough is slightly undercooked on the side. I told the waitress and they waived the cost for pizza for us! That’s unexpected but they are really friendly to us. We left a nice tip for them, as they were very nice and their foods taste pretty decent.

The Brisket sandwich was really good, especially with the dip, but I felt the mac and cheese and garlic fries were both average. We also had a Burger of the Gods, which had good flavor, but I thought might have been a tad overpriced.. or maybe that's just what a burger costs now after inflation. This place is owned by the same owner as the gastropub nextdoor and does not have their own kitchen, they share one with the pub. I don't feel that effects the quality of the service or food though, but it does mean that the doors stay open so the servers can come in and out easily. Not a huge deal, but I am warm blooded pansy, and I was cold the whole time. They did have some space heaters running and it seemed to help. The decor and ambiance is perfect for middle aged women who just got done with yoga, or maybe a second marriage.

Inside of the bar is smelling not so good. Outside, on the terrace was ok to stay. Many local beers, I tried the german hazy style Hefeweizen, nothing wow but still ok. The food was nothing more than average.

I had been to the barrel room before, but this time it was to host a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents. The manager, Christina was so incredibly helpful and kind in helping me plan for this! She went above and beyond and so did her staff every step of the way. We used their outside courtyard area that is away from the main restaurant in between urge and the barrel room. It was just right and the weather was perfect so everything went beautifully! The food was perfect as well as the service, and everyone had the best time! Thanks again Christina and Staff!!!

Another great visit , great service, upbeat, and helpful staff. Food was served with a smile, hot and cold when ordered that way. We will continue to be customers and spread the word about this establishment. We recommend the barrel 100%

Prompt and friendly service. Excellent Wine. Delicious food. Will be coming back frequently.

The food was delicious, but a little pricey for the tiny amount you got. Waitstaff was great, and the ambience was nice.

Food was decent but not outstanding. Ordered the jambalaya, which tasted "OK" but was really creamy which made the texture off and it wasn't really spicy at all. The service was good though.
