Canteen - Barrington

Stopped here first time everything looked good on the menu. Ordered pulled chicken and brisket took the food to go. They make their own sauce, it was good but a little bit too much pepper for me. It made the sauce spicy hot.I liked the pulled chicken but too much sauce with the pepper made it hard to eat. The brisket was lean, but the portion was small actually recieved more pulled chicken. The nice thing about the brisket was the meat was plain and not drenched in sauce so, as able to use the bq at my liking. The sides are nonethibg to rave about another disappointment. Cole slaw was a vinegar dressed salad. I believe no mayo. The Mac n Cheese tasted grainy like a powered mix and the baked beans were spicy. I atmosphere was nicely set up and staff was friendly. I left a ten dollar tip something I normally don't do unless eating at the restaurant and feel all around service and food good. Not sure if will go back but next time will stick w fries no two mouth full sides which another disappointment.

Sammie was an amazing server! My kids ate every morsel of food! Great ribs! Very family friendly! We have a party of 10, so I called ahead to see if they could fit our group. The owner was so positive and reassuring on the phone; when we got there, he had made a spot for our family! Great job, thanks for the food and great hospitality! Dietary restrictions: They have GF pancakes which were fantastic for my daughter! Kid-friendliness: Kids menus that the kids can color and then they hang them up to display. My kids loved to see theirs hung up!

My husband has been coming here since high school in the 1990’s always raved about it. We’ve been coming together since we met 11 years ago. The food never disappoints and portions are huge! Our server, Sammie, has been here forever and is WONDERFUL!!! My husband travels to New York often for work and says the Canteen corned beef is even better than the famous Katz’s Deli in NYC!!! It’s amazing! You won’t be disappointed ever with anything you order!!! I can’t give enough stars!!!!!

I grew up eating here and havent been back in years. Decor is new, but still had some of the old charm. Great service from servers owner.

Enter, seat yourself and be greeted by excellent waitstaff. Then, you get your food. Omg so good. Brisket was tender. Corned Beef Sandwich had thick slices and excellent. We have a new favorite bbq place! Parking: Parking lot was very well maintained, they do care about it. Plenty of street parking nearby. Wheelchair accessibility: Tables are on the first floor, easy to access. Bathrooms are down the stairs, might be difficult for some.
