The Beef n' Barrel is always consistently great food, great service, and has a clean, homey atmosphere. One of the most popular local spots in Olean, best drinks in town, scratch-baked bread and rolls, beef carving stations in every room. Fast lunch service, and hosts are friendly and welcoming. Desserts to die for, great place to celebrate special occasions. Sadly, no vegan or vegetarian options, but this place has... View all feedback.
What Anderson Koepp dislikes about Beef-n-barrel:
Went in for an early dinner at 4 pm. We were given the lunch menu. There was a lunch special for an open faced prime rib sandwich, which my boyfriend ordered. The waitress told us that this item had sold out for lunch but offered he could order the prime rib off the dinner menu for nearly 30$. He declined. We ended up with hot roast beef sandwiches which were Luke warm. Pretty disappointed. Drinks were very tasty. To... View all feedback.

Nice atmosphere, great quality food, polite staff. I enjoyed my time there
If you’re in the area and like beef this is the place for you. They have other options if you do not want beef.
The food at this restaurant was delicious. The French onion soup was flawless, the roast beef was tender and cooked to perfection with amazing flavor, and the German potato salad was also very good.
My favorite place love love there food
Wonderful!! Harley is a phenomenal young lady who took amazing care of my wife and I last night. The 4 Mike IPA is a great local recommendation for my Bleu Cheese Porterhouse! My wife loved her Crab Cakes and was sad we were just passing through. We will always make it a point to stay on Olean on our travels Northward from Virginia to Ontario Canada!

Wonderful restaurant! There on December 23, 2021, with the family and we all had a great meal, wonderful service and a delicious desert. We'll share the Peppermint Snowball. Only on the bottom was the weather outside, was something snowy and cold, and it wasn't there to blame! It was comfortable and very good atmosphere. Thanks again for a wonderful evening. PS I had the beef plate! What a meal.
Great food, good prices (especially lunch specialties) and atmosphere. Loves everything about our lunch here
Great family atmosphere. Friendly staff and generous portions. Plus the beef on wick is the best around. Update!!!!! The wife and I went into there for lunch. Was greeted and sat down right away. Our waitress was very friendly. We both had the open face hot roast beef sandwich which was very good. Always a great place to eat
Great food! Beef is delicious. The Graham Cracker Cream Cake is brilliant!
Not sure what happened here last year, but the quality of beef has drastically fallen. It used to be the best beef everywhere. Beef is hard and strict. I used to be there, the German potato salad was served cold and had to be reheated. For the great price you pay, the quality is certainly no longer there.
