Apple Barrel Cafe

Excellent food. I love all the options. It was very busy, but we were seated in a timely manner. We sat at the counter and soon were served. They were able to make the food to our vegetarian tastes and it was good. I really love the Waffles which are some of the best I have had. My wife had a pancake, it was good, but not my favorite. I would suggest coming here for a wide variety of flavors and tastes. The food and service are both very good.

Second time we've had dinner at Apple Barrel. The food is really good and so is the service. The roast beef is awesome. The dinner portion is huge. The veggies were fresh (even my green beans) and not canned junk. Perfectly seasoned as well. The place is comfortable and relaxed. Really good comfort food. A great place to take kids, parents, etc. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. We'll be back. Often! My only complaint is that I wish they had a more extensive dessert menu.

I go in there by myself a lot, I used to be a secret shopper but wasn’t when I was inspecting this place. I can really tell they are short staffed right now, they even reduced their hours at certain locations. I’m pretty sure there’s only one cook right now at this specific location and they are currently training new hires. Food came out wrong first time I ordered but the girl who waited on me was new, which I completely understood and just sent it back. I can honestly say they are trying their best. Every restaurant is being hit hard right now due to the pandemic and they are just trying to get back on their feet. It’s a hard transition. Especially to try to find new staff, to get them acclimated to their new environment and still make it work. I normally order the chicken crepes, the first time I received them I found them mediocre, but the second time I visited today they were very well made. Better spices, presentation and overall flavor. No screw ups. It takes time but they will get there. Seeing all of the low reviews of this place (especially being written during the worst of the pandemic) made it very disheartening. They are trying and it’s working. Give them a chance, people. I find this place very cozy and the wait staff were all helpful and great. Will go back again. Good job guys, I just wanted you to know someone appreciates the hard work you are putting in to get your place back on its feet during the pandemic.

Great food and great atmosphere. Very kind staff even when we came in an hour before closing. Had the catfish and it was really good. Exactly what my very pregnant wife was craving. Will definitely come back and eat here again.

New favorite cafe! I just moved into the apartments across the street and decided to drop in while I was too tired to cook. The menu was extensive, atmosphere was clean and inviting, and the staff was extremely friendly. They only get 4 stars because the current afternoon/night cook seems to be incapable of cooking meat anything less than very dead. The meat was still juicy but two burgers ordered medium rare and rare came without a single speck of pink.
