Red Barn Western BBQ Restaurant in Darmstadt

A little gem for all ages in Darmstad, great food and service.

I LOVED it. Initially I thought oh no I wouldn't like it, I went with my friends and I literally loved it. We tried legendary red barn spare ribs. It was well cooked as I like, I think the sauce could be better but still soooo good, the salad and dressing was delicious also the fried potatoes were different I would say😅. I will definitely go again and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed the food,the ribs, which were cooked perfectly and incredibly juicy. The side dishes complemented the meal well, especially the chips, which were a standout. The staff were super friendly, and the cozy, warm atmosphere along with the lovely decorations made the experience even better. The only downside was the bathroom, which could have been cleaner. Other than that, everything was great!

The legendary Red Barn Spare Ribs did not disappoint! Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fresh salad and crispy potato slices complemented the ribs beautifully. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, adding to the great dining experience. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. The only downside was that the ladies’ lavatory could have been a bit cleaner, but overall, it was a fantastic meal!

It's like a saloon! Great selection of burgers and super attentive, friendly service.

The waiter was very nice, we all enjoyed the generously topped burgers (with lots of lettuce, meat, sauce, onions...). The prices are very high for both the food and the cocktails. We were happy to be able to use the Schlemmerblock.

Had Spearribs, was awsome good.

Very good and nice service. Feels like you're really in the Wild Western from the inside and the food tastes fabulous. The only criticism is that you can quickly be forgotten or the meal can take a good half an hour to an hour.

We accidentally discovered this place about three years ago, and since then, we keep coming back to enjoy the food. The taste is simply amazing!🤩 The quality of the burgers is top-notch, from the soft, fresh bun to the perfectly cooked beef. 🍔 The ribs are incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the cocktails are a true delight for the taste buds. 🍸 This is our favorite place when we want not only delicious but also high-quality food. 🫶🏻 Plus, the staff is always friendly, welcoming us with a smile, and they speak both German and English. 🇩🇪🇬🇧 I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food – especially fans of ribs and burgers! But be careful… once you try these flavors, you won’t be able to stop! :)🤤

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff!! Unfortunately I ordered too much starter and couldn't finish the burger!!

Too bad!!!!! As advertised on the website, we reserved by email, but received no answer as to whether it was possible... Don't just drive there and be disappointed when there's no space.

You have never eaten something so delicious in your life!!!!

Ambience & Service 5/5 super nice staff, great atmosphere, nice guests. The burger bun was too big for us and the burgers were generally a bit dry. Unfortunately there is no children's menu and no classic fries.

Such a lovely place. Very vibrant American bar in Darmstadt. Accepts card from 10€.

Great service, friendly and super fast. The food was absolutely delicious

Service extremely courteous and friendly. Price/performance is no longer right when it comes to food. €8.50 for a few slices of potatoes with cheese and sauce is clearly too much. The burger was delicious. The cocktail, on the other hand, was too weak for me. The toilets are very dirty!

Load better. Good service, good food and good music 😎

We were there for the first time last week and it absolutely bears repeating. The pulled pork was by far the best thing I've eaten here. Jordan from the service was extremely friendly, super attentive and I haven't experienced such good service in a long time. I would actually like to give it six stars now.

Table was not yet free at the reserved time. Food is expensive and was only semi good, sometimes soggy. The operation is a bit fake.

It was definitely something special that will be remembered. Spare ribs tender and delicious. Beer tasty, although I would have expected American beer or something other than Astra. Ambience something different, not run-of-the-mill. The only drawback is the high price of the food. So you can do it sometimes, but €30 for the spare ribs doesn't work that often. Portion could have been a little bigger for me.

The waiter was nice but a little too pushy. Next time please don’t sit with your guests!

Great, delicious food. Attentive and fun service. Great ambience.

Nostalgia trip :-) It used to be the Woarschtkich. Food super delicious. Service friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Been there twice - called twice in advance to see if they had spare ribs (otherwise I wouldn't have come) - both times they were promised - then on site there were no spare ribs on both occasions - great thing!

We had dinner here with friends. We had made a special reservation and received a very warm welcome. We had a nice table a little away, perfect with children, baby and dog. Space was made for the stroller and the dog even got an extra pillow. The drinks and food came quite quickly and were really tasty. The homemade lemonade and the burgers with chips were very convincing. We'd love to come back ;)

Mega ribs! Very clear recommendation.

By far one of the top locations in the Darmstadt area. The food is outstanding and the portions are huge. For your money you will not only be fed and happy, but also treated well. Thanks to the service team for this lovely evening. Simply recommended. The burgers are unique.

Waiting 2 hours for the food to be hissed at??! The waiter also had foul bad breath. Again ? No thanks n

Great location... really rustic... nice staff with great service... and the burgers... awesome... super tasty... chilli cheese fries... awesome... fries homemade from the Red Barn... EXTRA GREAT... and please go hungry... 😉😉😉

We were greeted warmly and shown to a free table. The order was taken very quickly and the drinks came promptly. BUT From ordering to actually eating we had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes. The food was waiting for about 5 minutes until the nice service lady brought it to us. The spare ribs were cold. Likewise, the “crispy potatoes” that were burned in the deep fryer, and the chicken tenders that were also burned were at least warm but burnt. The house salad was inedible for me (tasted musty). And for two people, two Cola Zero and two dishes without dessert, €65? It was a different kind of bad experience. The women's toilet wasn't clean either.

Been here for the first time. Service absolutely top, friendly and attentive. The food was also very tasty, very large portions. The only point of criticism that doesn't lead to devaluation

We had dinner here today as a family. My husband and stepson had spare ribs, many had burgers with homemade fries. The fries were super tasty. A 10/10. The burgers were very large and extremely tasty. My husband has never eaten such delicious, juicy spare ribs. The drinks were brought quickly. In general, the service was a well-rehearsed, very friendly team. The atmosphere was very rustic, I like that, very cozy. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We went there for dinner once and the food tasted fantastic (burgers) the ambience is completely western and looks great The quality of service was very good although some employees were sometimes under stress. Maja and John (hopefully spelled correctly) were very, very nice and deserve special praise❤️

Ribs sind lecker, Salatdressing mit Knoblauch auch, aber leider nur billiger Eisbergsalat. Service nett, aber leider mussten wir auf alles lange warten. Sowohl bei Getränken als auch bei Essen mussten wir nachfragen. Preise überteuert.

We heard so many good things about the Red Barn that we wanted to try it out with our gourmet block. The Red Barn appears much smaller from the outside than it actually is. The furnishings are rustic and quaint, with great attention to detail. Despite not having a reservation, we got a seat and our drinks relatively quickly. The service was friendly and accommodating. We chose the spare ribs (3/4 rack) and the 2 pound chicken wings to eat - and then waited. And waited. After three quarters of an hour, a group arrived and was seated next to us and received their portion of chicken wings before us, even though we only received ours a few minutes later. Overall we had to wait quite a long time for our food. That really dampened our mood a bit. The wings were delicious, but the ribs were unfortunately only lukewarm. The ranch sauce was great and the sliced ​​potatoes were unfortunately fried “dark” and not really hot. Maybe it was because of the number of people who had ordered before us that we had to wait so long, but unfortunately that, combined with the food, didn't completely convince us.

Good as always: - Food delicious - Service attentive and friendly - Atmosphere quaintly cozy Our 2 for 1 vouchers were also easily accepted

First visit All in all, it went like this, portions sufficient, but not very hot Burger was ok, unfortunately without sauces A bit pricey If you sit right next to the toilet, you will be annoyed by the squeaking of the toilet door, a drop of oil should help Ambiance isn't really nice, everything looks kind of dingy. Service very nice

Visited Red Barn in Darmstadt recently. The atmosphere was nice, and the overall experience was decent. I ordered a burger, which was generously topped with cheese and tasted good, but I felt the quality of the meat could be improved just a bit of room for improvement there. The service staff was friendly, but they seemed to be in a rush the whole time. They wanted to get things done quickly, which made us feel a bit hurried. We also ordered two sides: one with bacon and cheese, which was tasty, and another with fried potatoes, but unfortunately, the potatoes were slightly overcooked and a bit burned. Overall, a good place, but there are a few areas that could be better.

Authentic American restaurant. The bar is basically inclusive! The burgers are very good and the service is outstanding! Absolute recommendation!! Dogs are also welcome <3

Great burgers, acceptable price. Good atmosphere with all sorts of alcoholic drinks.

Food great, staff great, furnishings cozy and comfortable.

Great food in a nice atmosphere

Very tasty food (we had ribs, pulled pork and salad), super nice and quick service, sometimes it was a bit cool in the room. Cocktail was great too!

It was our first time there as a family and there were six of us. Everyone had ordered something different and we were very happy with what we got. The exceptionally friendly, quick and fun service was great. It was a little cool in the room and we were given blankets straight away. As a Hamburg resident, I was happy about the Astra beer. I haven't seen it anywhere in the area. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for the nice evening

The food was so delicious. I don't know the last time I ate so well. The waiters were really friendly and accommodating. I felt very comfortable!

Awesome dine in experience. The ambiance was fun. The facilities were clean and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The food and drinks were great. The portions of their serving was generous. You surely get your money's worth and more. It is also a family friendly place 😁

The food was very good and the service was very friendly. Unfortunately we had to wait an hour and a half for the food and then we were told that they were out of spare ribs and the portions weren't very big either 😄🙃

You shouldn't miss delicious spare ribs.

Very cool location. The cocktails are served super quickly and are very tasty. Pay attention to happy hour, where you can get the large cocktail for the price of the small one.

The ribs were amazing again. Highly recommended.

Super friendly staff, really great and attentive. The food is also very tasty. Totally nice atmosphere.

Was there for the first time, cool ambience in American/Western style and a sociable atmosphere. Were served quickly. The burgers were good and big. Since you have to order the side dish such as fries separately and are not included with the burger, a menu like this costs more.

It was a great evening for me, I'll be back

After 2 hours you have to leave at peak times. It actually fits, but if the food doesn't come for an hour... 🤔🫤 but it was worth the wait

Unusual but very cozy atmosphere. If you like western style and like perfect burgers and spare ribs, you have to go here. Drinks selection is also very good👍cocktails are also available here. I recommend a pitcher (1.5L) of Astra beer👌🙌😀

First time and last time here. Food took an hour to come and when it did, it was below average. Our table was near the door, which was open the whole time. It was a long hour of waiting for the food in the cold and smelling cigarette smoke from outside. All in all a disappointing evening.

Really good again. The burgers are great, as are the cocktails. The ambience is always nice too

Individual and inviting location with extremely friendly service. Our food was fresh and delicious - it fits!

Nice atmosphere, very nice service. It was very crowded and therefore quite loud, which is difficult to avoid. We had to wait quite a long time for the food, but the vegan burger was very good. Recommended

Cool location, super nice and attentive service, good food. Will definitely come back.

Super delicious food Very quaint and cozy Service quick and friendly Clear recommendation from me - if you like burgers or nachos

EDIT: Unfortunately I have to correct my rating downwards. Four of us were there early in the evening on a Saturday, with a reservation. We quickly ordered drinks and food as weekends are notoriously busy. We had to wait an hour and a half for our food. The ribs were again very good, but the potato slices were extremely fatty and soft. The corn on the cob was very weak. The burger was very dry (please use more sauce!). The kitchen is extremely overwhelmed. Really a shame.

Very tasty burgers, great service, always happy again ❤️

I had to wait over an hour for my food, which can happen since the restaurant was busy. The burger I ordered was also good. But the "crispy potatoes" that I ordered as a side dish were one of the worst things I've ever been served in a restaurant. They were anything but crispy but a pile of mushy potato slices dripping with fat. Sorry, but simply inedible. When I asked a cellar about it, I was told that he was sorry if I didn't like them, but that's how they're always made. Of course I had to pay for them too, since that's how they're always made. This is neither good service nor good quality. Even 1 star is too much for that.

The food was okay, but overall the restaurant is not recommended. In a very small group, we waited well over 2 hours for food. The food came around 10:40 p.m. Unfortunately not at the same time either, so the first two had finished eating when the fourth and fifth burgers arrived. Apparently, a maximum of 3 burgers are prepared here at the same time... This is simply no longer a time when you want to have dinner. Unfortunately, no apology, no accommodation from the service. Even for the starter (garlic bread) we waited 1.5 hours. Unfortunately for me this is out of proportion, even if the burgers were delicious. The “crispy potatoes” were just wobbly potato slices dripping with fat. None of our group had even a hint of crunch. However, in one person, some were completely black. So absolutely not recommended. All in all, the burgers and drinks were okay, but not very special either. Service always comes by and brings drinks promptly with a smile. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio isn't right here at all. It's also a shame that there was no communication with us at all. If we had been informed that the meal would take so long, etc., we would definitely have changed our plans.

My burger was good. The dessert was OK. However, I found the spray cream a bit unloving, considering that it wasn't just a decoration but part of the dessert. Fresh cream doesn't take that much effort.

A super tasty 😋 meal, staff very friendly, it won't be the last time we go there

Very tasty food, great cocktails, super friendly and attentive staff, it wasn't the last time there...

In itself a great shop with a convincing menu, but with small detractions in the service and food. As a starter we had slices with cheese and pulled pork gratinated, which I really enjoyed. However, it's not cheap compared to the production, but it's still great. We then had 4 burgers which unfortunately all fell through and didn't come as ordered. The bottom line is completely dry, well-done patties instead of the medium rare ones ordered. The service employee's inquiry came shortly after the first bite, which we had pointed out. A simple exchange would not only be justifiable, but actually a basic requirement in a good restaurant, apart from any demands. Still a great atmosphere, nice staff and a great menu, food and drink but next time we'll replace the burgers with ribs or something like that.

Very kind personal and very tasty burger.

Four of us were there yesterday. Me for the first time. I like this ambience, the style of the furnishings, which has certainly seen a lot after all these years. Because there were four of us and everyone ate something different, I was able to get a pretty good idea of ​​the quality of the food. The dishes were all very tasty. Only the spare ribs were slightly too dry in my opinion. I found the price/performance ratio good. The staff was super friendly at all times 👍 We will definitely eat there more often from now on.

Very tasty burgers, very tasty side dishes. You have to come several times to try everything. Clear recommendation: garlic bread as a starter! Ambience is nice and reminiscent of Canada or the USA. Service always 1A.

Actually a very nice shop with delicious food and a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. If we hadn't asked twice, we probably would have come away empty-handed! What a shame! But definitely a problem that can be fixed!

We went on a city tour from Eat the World on Saturday, where partners serve small culinary bites. We got pulled pork and a piece of spare rib at Red Barns, which was delicious. I would particularly like to highlight the great, friendly service. Of course, this cannot be a complete review, but it invites you to visit again.

Great food and super nice and attentive staff

Crazy western restaurant. Great experience and ambience. Food is also very good, but a bit more expensive. The portions are large. Employees are very friendly and attentive.

Visited the restaurant because of the many good reviews. Unfortunately very disappointing!!! The menu is large but not tasty. Prices totally exorbitant!!!

Super tasty and affordable. Great ambience, large selection of food and drinks. We will be back definitely! We had pulled pork and spare ribs and both (including the side dishes) were really good.

I'm here for the second time today! EVERYTHING PERFECT

The prices for food and drinks are excessive and bear no relation to the quality. Here are some criticisms: Missing garnishes: Dishes that are normally served with a corn cob are often missing. Mixed-up portions: Large and small portions are often mixed up. Excessive salt content: Potatoes and sauces are extremely salty. Fat content: All foods are soaked in unhealthy amounts of fat. Pricing: The prices for food and drinks are set too high for the given quality. Ambiance and furnishings Exterior: Very unattractive with peeling paint on the walls and dangling cables. The benches and tables are unstable beer tent sets. Interior: Much more friendly, but the toilets are dark and unsightly. Service and staff The staff is friendly and helpful. Conclusion Due to the overpriced prices, the poor quality of the food and the unattractive ambience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Super delicious food in a matching, rustic, Texas-style atmosphere. Both the burgers with pulled pork and the crispy potato slices are a delight. Burgers can also be ordered with a vegetarian patty.

Best American food in Darmstadt. The prices are a bit more expensive now but the taste is simply great. Also super friendly staff.

The food was super delicious....the service was very attentive and friendly....in my opinion the western ambience could have been a little more (music for example)...but it was a very nice evening!!!!

These were the best spareribs since the Americans were withdrawn :) I ended up there by chance thanks to Schlemmerblock and was absolutely happy with everything - top service - mega food - absolutely reasonable prices. We were definitely not here for the last time!

Finally eating delicious spare ribs again. That was the plan. I had heard a lot about the ribs at the Red Barn, so it was time to try them out. First of all: I recommend making a reservation as the store is quite full. This can also lead to it being noisy and the neighbors sitting very close. The furnishings are ok, functional and (with some imagination) also create the impression of a barn. However, the facility is a little old, but that's still okay. The abundant staff is very quick, very attentive and very friendly. Hats off, everything works smoothly even under stress. Of course I ordered the ribs and I have to say, they are delicious. The meat falls completely off the bone and the sauce tastes just like I imagine a BBQ sauce would. The side dishes round off the meal perfectly. The homemade lemonade rounds off the meal perfectly. I'm looking forward to the next rib tasting round :)

It's a shame, burgers without burger sauce. When asked why the burger is so dry, "We traditionally always make it without sauce." Hmm, I've never heard of that before. Too bad.

Top food, fantastic service, wonderful ambience

I can recommend very tasty food to anyone who likes spare ribs. It was quite crowded and it made it a bit uncomfortable, but it could be worse. The service was also really friendly.

Great American-style restaurant. Delicious food 😋, good drinks, friendly, courteous staff... we'd love to come back 👍

Eye-catching ambience and delicious citizens. Operation and service was great!

Everything was super tasty and the service was super good.

Exceptionally delicious The burgers are so big that it's not easy to eat them :)

A cozy, interesting and filling restaurant. The location is lovingly designed and the furnishings match the theme. The menu is short but effective, you don't have to choose between 100 different dishes, but are presented with a well-made selection. Spare ripa, salad, burgers, onion rings and other finger food in portions that will fill everyone up. The selection of drinks is also good and the prices are reasonable.

Back on site for a long time. The enjoyment of a good burger drove us there. We weren't disappointed. Super fresh, delicious burgers, super friendly service and delicious drinks. Really recommended. People really enjoy their job.

Super tasty food, very authentic I would say. Super nice service, very present… Food was at the table in no time, we waited less than 15 minutes. Keep it up

If we hadn't made a reservation and the reputation of the Spearribs hadn't preceded us, we would never have spontaneously gone into the restaurant 🙈 It's not a feast for the eyes from the outside - it's more reminiscent of a not-so-nice backyard pub 🫣 There's a different way to be inviting. But super tasty food, albeit high prices. But the staff was super friendly and very nice. Finding a parking space was a bit difficult... but we would definitely come again 🍔🍺

Great location, very nice staff, great food, burgers and spare ribs have never been better. Thank you for the hospitality. Update from June 2nd, 2024: Still world class spareribs, everything was great, gladly again.

A very good restaurant, I can only recommend it to all spareribs lovers. Nice and courteous staff

World class! Great burger, brilliant service. What more could you want? The onion rings are fantastic, the burgers are super tasty. Great evening, thank you very much👍

The potatoes that are served there as a substitute for fries are very tasty. However, the burgers are rather mediocre and, above all, too big to take a bite of, so you always have to cut off a part with a knife and fork and never actually have the right burger experience. Besides, it is very expensive.
