Barley & Salt Tap House and Kitchen

Upon checking in at the hostess station around 6 p there wasn’t a wait. One member of our party was breastfeeding in the car and the hostess wouldn’t seat us (3 adults and a 2 year old) until we were all inside the building. Many parties arrived as we were waiting and when the 4th adult and infant arrived (about 10 minutes later), there was a wait and the 2 year old in our party was getting restless and hungry. Two drinks were ordered and were “meh”, the home made guac was tasteless, the chips were scarce and looked like Tostito’s (disappointing for $14). Clam chowder was cold, paella was very salty. Burrata salad and warm salmon salad were okay. Server was friendly but overall experience (for $155 pre tip) was disappointing based on a friends rave about this place. First time, last time.

Great atmosphere, tons of beer choices (many of them local) and delicious food. We had the shrimp tacos, Thai chicken tacos and Truffle Fries. Sampled several beers but my wife's favorite was the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. We will definitely be back.

Fun place to grab a bite. Open environment, tons of beer choice as well as a decent mixed drink list. Food was alright. I had the fish and chips; fish was battered with local IPA. Chips were awful, over fried, very greasy hardly at potato in them. Wife had the pesto mussel Alfredo, pretty decent. Pricing was about average for a touristy place. Would probably find another place to go to next time.

I would give this place an overall four stars. The location is near the White Mountains with views of the mountains. The decor inside is rustic with modern touches. Overall the establishment is nicely organized, and there is plenty of seating and room between tables. I would rate cleanliness as a four because one of our glasses had a few stains. The food is underwhelming. Lovely presentation but does not hit the flavor marks. The Korean tacos taste like a sloppy joe. Eating the tacos was quite nostalgic (school lunch sloppy joes). If you look for authentic Korean flavors, you will not find them in that dish. The wings looked terrific in all the pictures I saw online, and when they arrived to the table, it was genuinely mouth-watering until I took a bite and found them to be below average quality. The food serving sizes are ample, and they have a wide variety. I would recommend the truffle fries; they are perfect.
