The Barleycorn is a popular spot for locals to meet up for lunch, but recent reviews have been mixed. Some diners were disappointed with the limited menu and lackluster atmosphere. Others mentioned dirty glasses and unpleasant encounters with the manager. However, there were also positive reviews praising the friendly staff, generous portions, and delicious food. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its ups and downs, but patrons can expect a warm welcome and hearty meals if they decide to give it a try.
