The Barn Bowl & Bistro Review

Great place to hang with friends for bowling, great food, music and watching the latest sporting events.

Really fun place. Bowl and eat, or just hang out in the bar. Rather ordinary menu, but the food is good, service is great and it's a fun, casual atmosphere.

Food is okay, not too expensive for Oak Bluffs, not a big bowler.

We went there are checking other reviews and it was nice. We told our server that we were very hungry and as it was going to take 15 mins for food, they gave us fries on the house. Really appreciate that! Food was great. Their veggie burger was very nice!

Awesome food and time. Great for kids and adults. Great hot wings!!!

This place is awesome. It has such a good atmosphere and lovely people working there!!

Fun, family-friendly place. Staff was helpful and approachable. Bathrooms were clean and true to their word... Wheelchair accessible! Will definitely go back

Have been going here since early last summer. Being able to go bowling at a restaurant is great. They serve some of the best burgers on MV! The owner and staff are very friendly. I just wish the bowling wasn't as busy all the time, make sure you call ahead on a summer day or else you may not get to bowl.

Eat good food drink good beer and bowl a few strings. What could be better. Monday nights they have $6 burgers. Tuesday nights they serve Indian food. As far as I know this is the only Indian food you can get on the island EVER. There was a decent beer selection. I chose a Down East Cider on draft. It was a Tuesday so I got some Indian food. Not very spicy but very well made. The salads looked very good too . I didn't Bowl but took a peek at the lanes. It looks like a great place to bowl. I also came here for breakfast on a Sunday. It was well prepared standard breakfast fare. The coffee was also good. I would come back.

We're out on Martha's Vineyard for the first time. It is the off season and we didn't expect much when trying to find somewhere for a night out of the house. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality, COVID precautions, food and we were able to safely have some friendly competition on the bowling lanes. We met Mr. Petrol and the other staff, they were all so great and I'm glad we chose to spend our Friday night with them.

Good food, bowling is fun. Prices are Vineyard reasonable.

Good food, good portion sizes, reasonable great facility.

great service for my 10 year olds birthday party. Friendly atmosphere.

Bowling is a blast for all groups and all ages, and the food it's pretty good I wouldn't say amazing but it tastes pretty good.

This place is AWESOME!!! Great food, incredible staff, and locally owned. A treat for all, come enjoy The Barn for great food, great service, and good times. 11/10

The food here is awesome! And... They opened when everyone else was closed earlier this year and put the best comfort food on their menu, especially the fried chicken! BB&B rocks!

Great staff. Very good food. Good prices for the island

Coolest bowling alley I have ever been to bring food and drinks

Amazing food. We loved all of it and the service was terrific. Outdoor seating with heaters. Will for sure come back when we go to the Island.

Great food for a great price! Fun atmosphere. Good service.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, really nice staff, tasty food.

Was a great 9 year old birthday party. They did it all for me. I thank every single staff person who made it possible.

I had dinner twice here in the last week. The Sirloin Steak Tips with mashed potatoes were delicious. Cooked just right and was served with gravy and mashed potatoes and asparagus. Husband had the Cod. They make a very healthy Kale and Brussel Sprout salad with a bit of bacon. My daughter loved it. Servers will bring you food while you are bowling too. Employees are great! Very attentive and helpful. Especially with all the kiddies there. Very fun night. So happy we have a bowling alley on the island.

Friendly service and casual dining atmosphere for the whole family.

It's always good. I love the text alerts on the specials. The food is always good and the staff is great

Excellent food and a fun night bowling. We will definitely return!

Beautiful place for relaxation for the family.You can always catch a bite.

Bartender was delightful. We stopped in for a quick bite, expecting typical bar fare. Ended up having a watermelon salad, with seared steak tips on top and an interesting craft drink made with Aperol. All of it was refreshing.

Great staff, good food, ample parking, and air conditioning

Excellent food. Fried chicken meal was very good with cajun seasoning. Nice that they bring the food out to the curb for takeout during Covid.

Great place for a large group of people. Kid friendly as well

Great food,music and is perfect for family and friends to have a good time.

Definitely recommend dining here. The wait staff was great.
The menu had a good variety to please everyone. Definitely will come back.

REAL bowling! Happening place to be, especially on the weekends (with a DJ and blacklight bowling). A bit unorganized at times, but are happy to do what they can to make customers happy. Go early or reserve lanes, as the wait times can be long! Plan accordingly, they re not able to stay open as late as a regular entertainment/bar location in town. Very good food in the bistro and much more than a bowling alley finger food menu. Great place to have small events or private parties upstairs!

Went for trivia night on Thursday. Nice atmosphere, good food. They could have a bigger draft selection, but I like the place too much for that to be a problem.

Cool venue, good food, nice staff. 4 of 5 because our bowling time was cut a few minutes short because our lanes needed to be waxed for the next party.

Ate here on our last night on a long weekend to the Vineyard! Food was unbelievable and so was the staff! We loved the outdoor seating area!

Their outdoor dining and delivery game is on point! Staff is attentive and knowledgeable and the food is delicious never had an appetizer, salad, entree or desert everyone in our family did not enjoy! Drinks are great as well!

We had a great time. Great food, drinks and of course bowling.

Great curbside definitely going to try the lanes now, well when, if we are allowed

If I could give less than one star I would. Our waitress was SO rude we left before even ordering. Any place that hires staff that treats patrons let alone another human being that way does not deserve ANY customers. I wouldn't even give the food a second chance.

Food was good, atmosphere is good, staff is attentive to your needs.

What a fantastic place on the vineyard for a family or just your friends. There is something for everyone. There are 5 big screens for the sports nut and bowling for the family. Food was great. Thumbs up!!!

Great spot for a change. Off the beaten path and a great find for lunch or dinner. Very nice staff and good food.

I loved it here. Friendly staff, relaxed, fun night out. Thanks!

We really liked this place. The food was excellent. Staff were super friendly. Prices were reasonable. Bowling was great. I noticed a good mix of Islanders mixed in with tourists.
Will definitely return here.

Arranged a going away party for Station Menemsha Coast Guard Chief Robert Parent and family. Stanley McMullen put together an appetizer menu and let us have the upstairs function room. When we arrived the Coast Guard emblem was on the tv screen what a nice thoughtful touch. Highly recommend Barn Bowl and Bistro. Reasonable prices, fun atmosphere and attentive staff. Thanks Stanley. Your efforts meant a lot to one of our military families.

Nice bowling alley for an afternoon of fun. Yummy food & strong adult drinks.

Excellent, great food, superior service, top notch food. Thank you from MV Autoworks and Angel's Autobody.

Nice place, good music. Food can be a hit or miss sometimes. But I frequent this establishment regardless At least once a week. Defiantly recommend!

Trivia night on Thursday! Reserve early for dinner, it fills up quickly. But it is worth it!

One of the perfect place to have quality bowling while having a good time

I've enjoyed everything I've eaten there. Half priced burgers on Monday nights is totally worth it. Great beef burgers, and The French Canadian (turkey burger) is excellent.
