The Barn Door Restaurant & Meat Market

Will not be going back here ever.
My family ate here last night for my mom’s birthday dinner, we had a 7:45pm reservation and had to wait for a table but it was a short wait so it was fine.
The server we had was terrible.
Super quiet and shy girl completely done up in goth gear/make up to the extreme.
That’s fine and all but she literally did not want to talk, and just stared at all of us when she came to the table, basically whispered the whole time, would walk up to our table and stare at us without asking her question first, made it super weird and uncomfortable. Usually paying so much money for food, presentation MATTERS (especially when the flavor is not there)! This is the shrimp cocktail the waitress brought out to our table.
My mom was very dissatisfied and asked the waitress if this is the normal way the cocktail is served considering it was 8pm on a friday night.
The waitress, being as shy as she was had no idea what to say and finally ended up saying that she wasn’t able to make the cocktail the way it’s usually made because their were not enough dishes as all of the ‘original dishes they’re supposed to be served in’ were dirty.
On top of that my mom told her it’s supposed to come with limes, cocktail sauces and onions etc.
the waitress said that those things need to be specifically asked for, it doesn’t come that way, who knows if that’s true but if it is there’s another red flag.
What a freaking JOKE! On top of that she didn’t want to give us STRAWS.
I honestly feel like this girl was going through something and should not have been at work.
It was very disappointing because the other waitresses working that area were so on it and nice, they even came to our table to collect our dirty plates that had just been sitting there. Everyone else was nice, the vibes were good but the food wasn’t.
I’m sure everyone already knows the chicken fried chicken has no flavor, I survived this dinner on Mac and cheese and my Caesar side salad (it was delicious) For the price, quality of food and service I will never go back here.
BUT the vibes are nice and the tables are spaced apart very nicely for privacy and comfort.

We were in San Antonio and wanted to try something new to us.
We dined in for my wife’s birthday, on a Tuesday evening.
We were prompted seated.
We started with Oyster Rockefeller.
They had good flavor but some of the oysters were chewy. I had the Ribeye with the twice baked potato.
Good flavor and the steak was cooked as ordered.
My wife had the bacon wrapped fillet with mashed potatoes and gravy.
She said everything was good but the gravy, which had a different taste to it. Overall, we were pleased and agreed to return in the future.

Very good food, kind of expensive, but great for celebrations and special occasions.
I enjoyed the filet.
My friend had the very tender country fried ribeye.
The salad was fresh.
We enjoyed watching the steaks being cooked on the huge grill.
Lots of big birthday parties on the Saturday night I went so it was PACKED with diners.
