We were a group of nine and were lucky enough to have Alyssa as our server. Dinner was not only delicious, but beautifully presented. Alyssa handled our shenanigans with grace and made us all feel welcome. We all highly recommend Barrett’s on the Pike and will be returning there.

We had a great Brunch Saturday morning. Savanna was our server; she was very attentive, and I had the best chicken-and-waffles breakfast in Harford County. Overall, the staff is friendly and always on point. Add this to the menu.

We had dinner here for the 1st time on Sept 1st for our second wedding anniversary. We loved the atmosphere, the food was excellent, and our waiter Frankie was amazing. We asked questions about options on the menu and he gave clear and confident recommendations without hesitation. We will definitely be going back again in the future.

We reserved the Large room for our wedding rehearsal dinner. They were super helpful communicating the menu options well in advance. As the event drew near they allowed us to add a custom header to the menu as well as keeping track of all the details. They also rearranged the tables for us prior to the event because we wanted the table to be set up family style and that’s not how they had originally had it. The food was amazing and staff helped us have a smooth evening. They even let us connect to the TV to play a Kahoot with trivia about the bride and groom!!

We visited for restaurant week lunch 2026. The menu was good. Soup of the day was the Barrett's tomato-basil. It's very tasty & I recommend it. The crab & corn chowder was also good, as usual. See the photos attached. For main course, I had the blackened chicken pasta [penne pasta, tomatoes, peas, cream sauce, Parmesan]. It was extremely tasty & a pleasure to eat. Be advised there's a serious amount of Tabasco sauce in this dish. Especially if you're looking for a lunch with a kick, this is the way to go. The steak salad was also tasty & excellent [sliced skirt steak, fresh spinach, bleu cheese, caramelized onions, tomato, honey sesame vinaigrette]. We shared a dessert. At $12, it's a little pricy, but when shared, it's well worth it. Maybe it's the finest of all the Barrett's desserts, the Berries Napoleon with whipped mango sauce, fresh whipped cream, & strawberries. It's one of the best desserts in the county! Fantastic. I'd highly recommend this dish. The service from Ella was excellent. Friendly, welcoming, good advice: I complimented the managers at the door on her superb service, as we left. Ella's table service would make any restaurant proud. See the photos attached of all of the dishes mentioned here.

First time there, what an amazing place. All the staff is very friendly. It was a delight to have Megan S. as our server. She recommended Crab and Corn Chowder, the shrimp cargo, which were both delicious. Entrees were crab cakes and the short ribs (amazing BBQ sauce on them). Coleslaw was very good. We received a free sample of their Flat Bread coming out on Monday. Can't wait to go some. From start to finish a great experience. Will definitely go back.

Greeted wonderfully at the door. Escorted to the back area which was very quiet and inviting. The drinks were tasty and they food was amazing. The bacon wrapped scallops were perfectly cooked, the Shrimp Cargot was simply the best appetizer I’ve eaten this year and the Mongolian Beef Short Rib was perfect. Alaina did a fantastic job. Every employee we walked by said goodbye and thank you. That was service.

Hubby and I just left but we had to leave a great review for our waitress Elise! We had the pleasure of being served by Elise during our recent visit, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional — all while keeping a friendly and down-to-earth vibe that made us feel completely at ease. Despite it being a busy evening, Elise handled everything with calm confidence. She checked on us at just the right moments, gave great menu recommendations and always had a genuine smile on her face. It’s clear she cares not just about doing her job well, but about making people feel welcome. Elise strikes that rare balance between efficiency and personal touch — something you don’t find often. We would absolutely return just to be in her section again. She’s a true asset to the team and left a great impression. Thank you Elise!
