14850 DiningJune 28, 2013Our favorite burger in town is the Perfect Burger. It comes one way, no substitutions, so if you happen to not like pickles or tomatoes or what have you, you'll need to design your own.
- Amanda LeeJuly 7, 2014Everything that passed by me looked amazing. I had the surf and turf burger which was flavorful and juicy! The fish and chips were also yummy. Drinks were good and strong and fairly inexpensive too!
Jennie D.March 5, 2013I absolutely love this place. Great beer selection (try a flight if you're indecisive) and you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Wait times are a little long on weekends, but worth it.
Best burgers! The fat kid or the perfect burger!! Can't go wrong! Also the nachos are my fav and the chicken wing dip and fish & chips are other good choices! French onion soup is fabulous!
Definitely order a Racer 5! Unless you don't like hoppy beer, in which case the Harpoon UFO White is great, too. Foodwise, everything on the menu is awesome. Never had a bad meal here... Ever!
Patrick AldrichFebruary 5, 2015Beef on weck special sandwich tonight was the best ive ever had, battered fries too!
Mrs O’Learys cookies, buffalo spring rolls, burgers, draft beers!!!♥️♥️♥️- Vinnie DaboulDecember 6, 2014Off the charts! Excellent beer selection and the flat bread pizza is outstanding. The skillet wings are fantastic.
One of the best restaurants in Ithaca. Check out the live music on Saturday nights! Definitely going to miss the great staff here now that I've graduated
Surf and Turf burger is a great choice here. Can't go wrong with their beer & food pairings either
You always seem to have great daily specials so be sure to ask what they are.- 14850 DiningDecember 29, 2011We love the eggplant fries as an appetizer, the onion soup will warm up any chilly day, and the Perfect Burger is still the best in town.
bolandJune 23, 2017The pastrami sandwich was surprisingly good, I like the thick cut toast it came on, the beer selection wasn't as amazing as I was expecting though
Jillian LeitchMarch 6, 2014great service, great bloody marys, and the melted guac and brie is sooo good.
Eric SokolskyJune 11, 2011Had the Kobe burger and honestly I couldn't tell the difference from a regular burger. My advice - follow the advice of others and get the perfect burger...
Erica GutierrezJanuary 5, 2014Try the Ithaca Excelsior Anniversary Belgian Farm Farmhouse Ale Brewed with Honey!
Chris BeckerApril 21, 2013Racer 5 IPA and wings with the garbage sauce. Don't ask questions, just do it.
Roc Dish Is HungryAugust 29, 2016Hey bartender? I'm not your "bud." And that word is not ok. But the beer is good, so I'll let it slide.
Sam LopezJune 28, 2011Try the Jerk burger- fresh jalapeños and a touch of BBQ sauce. Also try the Ithaca brews.
Nina SchiltJune 29, 2010If you like black pepper get the Bastard Burger, it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. Arrogant Bastard mustard, Yum!
Ithaca country pumpkin beer with brown sugared rim is amazinnggggggggg
Jackie DongNovember 10, 2010Double echo for the tip on "The Perfect" burger - best burger of my life! It's a big burger, but I refused to leave a single bite behind.
Order the Perfect Burger. When the server asks how you want it cooked, reply, "Perfectly!"

"Their food is fantastic! For those who prefer egg white omelets: the Barn unfortunately does not offer them, but this should not deter you from getting their food, breakfast or otherwise."
