My colleagues and I have frequented the Barn Steakhouse on numerous occasions through the summer and autumn months. This visit hit the nail on the head. A warm welcome at the front desk, a drink by a warming romantic fire. We knew we were in for a night out when reportedly we in the same breathing space as Hey Hey... More

You'd never expect to get such good quality steaks in this part of Australia but they were unbelieveably good! These steaks are bred and aged on-premise and then grilled over a mallee-coal fire that supposedly is kept burning around the clock. That's dedication! Hubby surprised himself by polishing a 600g porterhouse that was cooked a perfect medium-rare. The rump and... More

We went there based on recommendation from trip advisor and what good decision it was. The steak was just perfect, best one i've ever had so far. Too bad they're 6hrs away from Melb, otherwise we'll go there often. It is definitely a restaurant that you MUST visit if you love steak and/or if you're in Mt Gambier. The atmosphere... More

I thought charcoal on the hill n Melbourne Kew was the best but I was wrong, Barn makes better steak in my opinion. This is now my top 1 steak house, pitty they are 6hrs drive away from Melbourne. More

We've been traveling from Melbourne to Adelaide during last Christmas holidays, and decided to stay overnight in Mount Gambier because we saw great reviews of The Barn Steakhouse online. The restaurant was full despite the fact that it was a weekday night, and we immediately fell in love with the warm and cozy atmosphere. Reading the menu was an experience... More

An excellent menu, with lots of variety and though not cheap, well worth the extra money spent to be presented with top quality food.The emphasis is on steak, and it was one of the best I had eaten for sometime, and a good assortment on the menu for desserts too. More

Just to be fair, food is ok... Eye fillet steak ordered was one of the better ones, not the best. The salad that comes with it is not for our taste, too Asian for our liking. However, the most disapointment that ruined our evening were their attitude, very unprofessional and rude, especially the manager. Anyone thinking to go there should... More

To give the barn credit where credit's due, I have been here before and received a better-than-average steak and solid service. Tonight my medium-rare steak was well done and the 'slaw had evidently not been tasted by whomever dressed it, as it was so bitter as to be inevitable. The pleasant waitress was good enough to ask how my meal... More

travellingtonk I’m glad that you have experienced our food at its best on previous visits and am very sorry that we have fallen short on this occasion. Your feedback on the night was taken seriously and brought to our chef’s attention immediately. If your meal was not to our high standards it should have been replaced quickly, so I am... More

The best steak and the service was excellent. This is a must if you are in the area, you don't have to stay at the barn to be able to visit the restuarant and it is well worth it. More
