"We had lunch at The Rolling Barrel on Saturday. We both got wraps and fries. The food was good and came out quickly, and our server was lovely. This place has only been open for a few months so I think they’re still trying to figure out the vibe. Lots of tvs everywhere, would be a great spot to watch a major sporting event such as the Super Bowl. Food is well-priced and they run specials every day."

"What a great find. We have driven by this place many times and finally decided to stop in on a Friday for dinner. Britney promptly greeted us with an energetic smile and offered to sit us exactly where we wanted. The food options pin far style but with awesome mains and entre options. They have daily deals which a very well priced but even the full prices steak and mains are well priced (including drinks). It’s spacious and likely great for parties or game nights. We had fish and chips (special) and shrimp tacos which in both cases came out fast but we’re in both cases prepared perfectly. The fries were fresh and crispy, shrimp cooked perfectly and fish breaded and fried to perfection. We enjoyed what may have been the best mai tai and richard’s red to end off a hectic week. We were so pleasantly surprised with this place and are eager to return with family and friends!!"

"I visited today and had a wonderful experience. I had the Saganaki (Flaming Greek Cheese) Sirloin Shrimp Au Gratin and the Raspberry Greek Yogurt Cheese Cake This was my first time ever having Saganaki. The fire was beautiful. This dish was served with pita chips and some brushetta. The Sirloin tasted great and the shrimp were meaty. The parmesan cream sauce was superb. The Raspberry Greek Yogurt Cheese Cake sounded intriguing . This cake was part cheese cake part real cake. It had a tasty drizzle, some fresh fruit and whipped cream. There is lots of bright window light in here as well as 18 plus television. Definitely a game day spot. Looks like they also serve breakfast and can be a brunch spot too. I'll definitely have to come back and try some other menu items."

"The Rolling Barrel is definitely worth checking out. My wife and I recently visited, and surprisingly it was for breakfast and not alcohol, lol. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with a cool, casual vibe. What really stood out to us was the generous portion size, especially when it comes to the fresh fruit. Unlike other breakfast spots that offer just a few slices, The Rolling Barrel serves a hearty portion, making it a great value for your money. The prices here are also quite reasonable, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. It’s also worth noting that the service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. While we went for breakfast, we’re already planning to return to try their drinks and other menu items sometime."

"We stumbled upon this place for lunch today. The place is cozy, fun with all of the large TVs and we really enjoyed ourselves. We were greeted immediately. I had eggs Benedict with fried potatoes and it came with a side of fresh fruit. The onions in the potatoes were such a night touch. The eggs were cooked perfectly. My friend had the teriyaki stir fry and gobbled it right up. It was full of flavour."

"I can't understand why this little gem is so underrated! The service is amazing. As soon as you step in the doors the staff are friendly and eager to make your time while dinning just awesome! Let's talk pricing.... EXCELLENT! what you get for food for the price is shocking, it so reasonable I had to look twice at my bill, I thought foresure he added wrong! It was super cheap! The dish was AMAZING! I got the seafood lingini and it came with a lobster tail and if I remember correctly it was only $27 so much food! I took half home. It's my second time going and I will 100% be back! Definitely go try it out! It's on the corner of a new plaza so you really have to watch for it. If you drive by ( going west on Taunton) the Kia dealership, you've gone to far. So going west on Taunton it's right before the dealership and coming East it's after. ( you will pass the Mandarin) Rating.... a solid 9/0"
