What our guests are saying

Check out our most recent reviews!

The Red Barn is the go-to restaurant when I'm in Arlington Heights! The service is top-notch. The drinks are good. House beer and food is great. I got the pizza last time and it was good, but not great. The crust is very dense but good if you like that type of crust. The fries are great. Their spicy chicken sandwich was great. Chicken wings are fantastic. Go there next time, and it won't disappoint.

We live in Chicago so first time last night for us. Our friends have been there before. We had a blast!! The draw was the band Oh Yes! We had a terrific server, Olivia, who didn't skip a beat (rocked it!). Everyone was friendly and it was cool seeing our older age groups having so much fun. Definitely coming back!!

Nice, clean sports bar vibe with a great menu. I had the shrimp and grits and Mama's empanada. We're from out of town, or this would be on our list of regular stops. Portions were quite large as well. We could have easily split a meal.
