Reviews for The Blue Barn in Falcon Heights, MN
Watched the MN state fair episode on Food paradise and Andrew Zimmerman's bizarre food and couldn't be any more disappointed... after being so excited to try what I believed was going to be a unique experience. I ordered multiple items and the portionswere not only skimpy they were not prepared as advertised on TV. The chicken n waffle cone was just sad...no gravy and just afew pieces of chicken served in a cheap waffle cone, the bleu cheese and fritz had literally no bleu cheese and you get 4 smallbites. The hype around this place is a joke, just go to Giggles if you want a unique and tasty meal. Read more
The poutine and elote were great. Probably the best things I ate at the fair this year.
We visited the Blue Barn and had been looking forward to trying the new Sweet Potato Poutine. The description that we read said... that it was supposed to be sweet potato waffle fries with cheese curds and turmeric gravy. There were a few small fries in alittle tray, but no cheese curds to be found. The gravy was almost also nonexistent. I went back to inquire about the cheesecurds, and was told that they were not breaded cheese curds, but the cheese was mixed in with the sausage? Totally deceptiveadvertising. Also a tiny portion for the $14 we paid. We will not be back! Read more
I tried the sweet potato poutine and it wasn?t good at all. It was cold, probably because they make the food ahead of time to... keep things moving fast and I was just unlucky with a old plate. The item didn?t contain all of the ingredients listed, theingredients I did receive lacked flavor. I usually can bear finishing my food regardless if I don?t love it, especially if I?mstarving.. which I was! But I could not continue after two bites. It was just not good, at all. Service wasn?t amazing either.Also pretty expensive! Compared to other food at the fair. Read more
Fair food is expensive? and this is no exception. About $30 for finger food. However it?s not like we are spending this type of... money all the time. We ordered the El Lote and Chicken on a stick. Both had the spices and nice hint of lemon. Worth the try atthe state fair. Read more
My wife, children and I were having the best time at the state fair enjoying all the great food and fun until we reached ?The... Blue Barn? and we?re disappointed with the service and taste of the breakfast Gnocchi and sweet potato poutine! They were thenastiest things we have ever tasted in our lives! First off they served it to us without gloves on. (sanitation issues, thankgod we didn?t get sick!) Then to make the situation worse while we were waiting for our Gnocchi to the side for 10 long minuteswe watched the wonderful happy and bubbly cashier get yelled at and treated very disrespectfully for ?using the restroom? bywhat we guess must have been ?the boss? in front of us. How rude especially seeing that the poor lady walked on a cane soobviously she was disabled and a little slower at moving around, guess The Blue Barns ?Slaves? are not allowed to use therestroom until masta cracks her whip and allows! We will never spend our money with them again! We also looked them up on lineand found out who they are owned by and will never spend our money with any of their restaurants since they treat theiremployees in such a tacky and nasty manner. Really don?t know how they manage to stay apart of the statefair giving outtreatment to their employees like that. They should be grateful that their employees don?t quit or report their behavior. Goodbusinesses pull their employees aside to talk to them if there is a problem and never treat them like that in front ofcustomers. My wife has made it a priority to find every one of their social medias and review letting the world know of theirnonsense. Thumbs down for this one Minnesota Statefair! Read more
Always great new dishes each year. A must to visit each year at the Minnesota State Fair.
Excellent Minnesota State Fair stop. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is widely known from here. The food and drinks are both... very good. Really enjoy this newer area of the State Fair. Read more
