Gnarly Barley: A Local Girl's Favorite

Here is an update on my ultimate favorite place to go eat, drink, watch football, or just have a good time! The Gnarly Barley is a great place and my Taco Tuesday stop! If you still have not been, then I will just have to show you again why you need to go.

Wanna eat some great tacos? Then go Gnarly! They have amazing tacos...you won't just eat one. They are soo good! Black bean, chicken, brisket...you won't be disappointed! This past Tuesday, they made me an even happier taco eater by accommodating my like for tomatoes, but dislike for onions. I always order the pico de gallo on the side because it is good, but I have always picked out the onions (still have not acquired a taste for onions). The server this last Tuesday offered to have them just cut up some tomatoes and add some cilantro (because she heard me tell my cousin I pick out the tomatoes). I was so thankful...so nice to see that they are really all about making the customer happy. I of course already knew this, but it's another great example of how awesome they really are! Black bean tacos with tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, peppers...my belly enjoyed it of course!

Not a taco fan? Okay, then how about mac n cheese and roast beef on a sub roll, jalapeno popper flatbread, turkey bacon and cream cheese pressed sandwich, great grilled cheese with 5 different cheeses, brisket bacon sandwich, or a ham, turkey, bacon, provolone, honey mustard sandwich? Those are just a few of the other delicious choices they offer. I am a huge fan of several of their sandwiches! The last two Saturday nights I have indulged in the Johnnie Mac N' Cheese and of course was a very happy girl! The Johnnie Mac is my favorite sandwich. I love that two of my favorite things have been put together on this sandwich...it's like a cheese steak with mac n cheese...can't get any better than that! Their mac n cheese by itself is great and on the sandwich it's amazing! I could go on and on about their food, it is amazing!

Okay, so maybe you wanna just try their beer (or cider)...well they have multiple options for you! I have never been unhappy with either choice. They have really good ciders and craft beer. This month has been especially awesome! They have had Oktoberfest and pumpkin beers. Mmm just delicious! Last night's pumpkin beer was really good. Like pale ales or IPAs, they've got some great choices.The options are limitless! If you are a craft beer junkie or just like beer...then Gnarly is a place you should try; you won't regret it!

Now if my this update still hasn't sold you on trying my favorite local craft beer and food stop, then these pictures sure will. Enjoy!

Night out with friends? They have plenty of games to make for a great time! Jenga and Cards Against Humanity are two of my favorite games; the night always ends up being interesting with these two games.

Dessert! Not only do they offer great food, beer, cider, wine, games, but they also now have amazing desserts! They recently started offering Gnarly Desserts by Nina and they are really good! They have had peanut butter pretzel brownies, banana muffins, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cupcakes...it changes each week. Don't forget to try dessert when you go!

The Gnarly Barley...5 Stars

One of my FAVORITE places to go! I love the atmosphere, service, food, and drinks. If you've never been, you need to go and well, you'll probably go back quite often after your first time. :)

The Wall

The Gnarly Barley is a local bar...my dad actually played softball and golf with one of the owners' dads a while ago. They have tacos, sandwiches, and beer. It really is a great place to drink, eat, and hang out.

I have been a few times already. The first time I went, my brother and his wife were the ones who introduced me. I had their Great Grilled Cheese. You literally get to mix and match 5 different cheeses to make your sandwich. Since I am a huge cheese fan, I was in heaven. It was really good! My brother got the Tacos (which ones I don't remember). He is a huge fan of their tacos. My brother's wife had The 38. It is a sub roll filled with turkey, ham, bacon, provolone, honey mustard, and tiger sauce with lettuce and tomato on the side. It's her favorite sandwich there. I tried it and was definitely wanting my own even though I was already eating my grilled cheese. The next time I went, I went with my cousin. We went late just for drinks. This last time I went, I got the Gnarly Dip. Mmm it was good!. It is a sub roll with roast beef, swiss, red onion (no onions for me, not an onion eater), and tiger sauce with au' jus on the side. My friend had the tacos...they are known for their tacos. Deliciousness for both of us! :)

The Gnarly Dip

How is their service? Awesome service! I've never had a problem nor have I ever been disappointed. They are really nice and welcoming. The staff is honestly the nicest I've seen in a while. You don't have to wait for anything except the food to be cooked (of course). :) Would I go back? Absolutely! I have already been a few times and definitely mention The Gnarly Barley when my friends and I plan to go out.

They have Taco Tuesdays where the tacos are $2 all day. Awesome deal. I think I might actually go tomorrow for it. They also have Happy Hour Tuesday-Friday from 4-7. The Gnarly Barley is seriously a cool place! I love going! If you've never been then you definitely need to go and try it out. You won't be disappointed!
