Arnie's Barn - Ridgedale

10.11.12 Top of the Rock. Arnie?s Barn. finally got to eat here. chips and salsa were good. queso was ok. edible. nothing to rave about. the nachos we good. ive come to really like pulled pork nachos with BBQ sauce. the mahi mahi tacos were disappointing. more bland bagged slaw than mahi mahi. bland in flavor. wouldn?t recommend them. atmosphere is great.

Arnie?s Barn is a really beautiful venue/restaurant. Food was really good, we shared since we weren?t that hungry, however we had room for the birthday dessert our waiter brought me. Thought that was very nice of him.

Food was horrible. Not Mexican food. Beautiful view but you are better off at tacobell. Run away from the food. Cold enchilada corn under cooked . Rice has no flavor. Beans hard . And the hard shell taco didn't even bother tasting it . Over priced food.

First I want to say that our waitress Casi was extremely kind and attentive. I don't want my 2 star review to reflect upon her. The food. They provide chips and salad before your meal; these were fine. My 3 year old ordered a kids meal of mac and cheese and fruit. The fruit was great and included oranges, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple. But he didn't like the Mac and cheese; so I tried it. It was terrible. The cheese lacked flavor and was watery. I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos. The tuna was very fishy tasting and the white sauce did not compliment it at all. The beans didn't go with the flavors either. You get 3 on a plate for $27. And I only ate 1.5 of them. They were actually gross tasting. My husband ordered a steak ceasar salad. He said the meat was of low quality, very chewy, and tasteless. He only ate half if his meal. For those 3 meals and 2 bud lights our bill came to $109! It was an extra $25 to upgrade the ceaser salad to steak. We were extremely disappointed in the flavor and price of this meal. My sister in law ordered the fajitas and said the meat was not edible. The the one nice thing about this place was the view from the outdoor seating. They sat us at a large table on the end which had additional couch seating. Attached photos are from our table. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all.

The restaurant is very nice on the inside. The fireplace is super cool with seating right next to it. However, the food is over priced and the menu is extremely limited. Sine you have to pay to park and take a shuttle to the site, you are a captured to eat there if you need lunch. When my burger came out the bottom bun was soggy and I ended up eating the burger without the bun. This place is okay, but you can skipped it without feeling that you missed out.
