Came all the way from Wisconsin to try the burgers and balls. Can't rave about them enough. Will definitely make the trip again. The staff and food are wonderfully amazing, you won't be disappointed. On busy nights be prepared for a small wait for a table but it is well worth it.
The chargrilled chicken sandwich was amazing, perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh, and the fries were terrific. We received excellent service from the attentive staff. Be prepared for a crowd as they are busy, but absolutely worth it.
One word- AMAZING! We JUST left and I had to write a review! We stumbled upon this place & it was our first time trying it. I remember seeing a review from the mullet guy. Ohhhhh myyyyy gaaawd!l Absolutely DELICIOUS! We are not big beer cheese people but we tried the pretzel bites & the cheese dip was soo good! The hamburger was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Best burger I have had in a loooong time!!!! The loaded potato pizza-was phenomenal!!! Not what we were expecting but it was sooooo good! We will DEFINITELY be back! So glad to find this gem!!!!!
We have only been here twice but hats off to Felicia for making us feel like regulars. Her hospitality will not be forgotten. We went for Italian night and the food was fantastic! We had the best time that was unexpected. I believe we will become regulars especially after the “regulars” welcomed us as one of them. Run don’t walk to this gem.
Took the family from out of town there a couple weeks ago and the brick oven was down, but they had made pulled pork. It was the best I’ve eaten. The bread was perfectly toasted and the pork was perfectly seasoned. Too bad it doesn’t appear to be a regular menu item. The staff, the food, and a relaxing space, just made it a great experience. Nice that we have a place like this in our town.
We stopped by for a random Wednesday night dinner and were pleasantly surprised. Cold beer, great apps. We had the ham & cheese croquette balls and the pretzel balls. My husband had the Wisconsin Burger & loved it. My cousin had the Sweet & Spicy Burger & enjoyed it. I had the loaded potato flatbread & it was a 10/10. Definitely coming back here!
We love this place! Food and service is amazing. Family owned and operated. Wonderful people and awesome food. Drive over an hr to come here. Been here multiple times and will be back. Can’t wait to see you guys again! Update: The bread pudding is amazing! I don’t even like bread pudding and I could not stop eating it. 💜
This is the second time that we have ate here. And both times have been very good. I got the Sheboygan Steak Sammy the first time and it was fantastic. And this time I got the Meatloaf Burger because of burger week here in town. And it was great! The wife got the fish and onion petals which are fantastic. We like coming here because we can bring our puppy, they have a great outdoor patio area that is covered. Really enjoy it.
Overall a great experience. We had the margherita pizza and an order of boneless chicky bites with buffalo sauce. Both of them were great! My wife thought the golden apple cocktail was excellent. We will certainly be back! Shout out to Megatron who was an excellent server.
If you're looking for a great local spot in Middletown, The Broken Barrel should definitely be on your list! Nestled right in the heart of town, this place delivers on both food and atmosphere. We started with the loaded fries, followed by hot wings and a thin crust pizza, and everything arrived at the table hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. They definitely don't cut corners here—the quality and portions speak for themselves. A special shoutout to Katie, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and truly made our experience even better. The welcoming atmosphere makes The Broken Barrel the perfect place for a date night, a girls' night out, or just a fun evening with friends. We had an excellent experience and will definitely be back.
