Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Barrington

This place is a gem and they have by far, some of the best food in the area. The ribs are PHENOMENAL and everything else on the menu is fantastic, but also very affordable. The ambiance is excellent as well and the staff are extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

We had a fantastic experience celebrating Valentine’s Day as a family!  The staff was phenomenal and the owners were engaging and incredibly accommodating - they even brought our kids a complementary dessert for the celebration! We’ve been coming here for years and have always enjoyed our experience. The food and drinks are terrific and highly recommended, don’t miss your opportunity to experience The Lucky Monk! 

The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.

Wanted a place to grab a decent meal before heading out for the rest of our Valentine's Day evening. They had a dinner for 2 deal that included appetizer, soup or salad, entree and dessert for 69.00. We had the shrimp app, an amazing cheese soup, both had the sirloin (cooked to perfection!!) that came with garlic potatoes and fantastic green beans almondine. Truly it was as good of a meal as we usually expect from an 'upscale' restaurant. Our server was on point as well! Dessert was an over the top bread pudding AND a type of chocolate lava cake that was filled with chocolate mousse. Everything was perfection - except to find out that the desserts are not on the regular menu haha! Would definitely be getting those next time we come back.

Our server was excellent! Quick service, no errors in order. He took care of 11 people at our table! We saw a surcharge on the bill. We questioned it & found out it is an extra charge corporate adds on but we were able to get it removed. I did have a coupon that allowed me a free cheese pizza if I bought a 16" one topping pizza. When the bill came I was told that the manager did not approve a free pizza since we got there & did appetizer ordering at Happy Hour even though some also ordered AFTER the Happy Hour at full price. This was very disappointing.
