The Barn

We were in Springfield today and needed a place to eat.  I saw that The Barn had some decent reviews, so we thought we'd try it on our way out of town.  Upon entering, you could tell it was your "hole-in-the-wall" pizza joint.  It's on the lower level of a large building; on the left side is the pizza joint and on the right side is a mini mart.

You sink down in to the booth seats; there are TVs all around the eating area with a different sporting event on each one; and laminated menus on the tables (some were just pieces of paper).  We ordered breadsticks and a medium veggie pizza with all the olives on one side :)  The breadsticks came out fairly quickly and there were EIGHT (8) of them!  A meal in-and-of-itself!  They were good, not spectacular.  They had something like a garlic crumble on top and they came with one of three types of dipping sauces (butter, cheese, or pizza sauce).  The pizza was ready shortly after and it came out on foil and looked like a thin crust pizza.  When bitting into the pizza I quickly realized it wasn't really thin crust pizza, but soft and chewy.  Both myself and my friend felt like it wasn't homemade pizza dough.  The pizza was good, but, again, nothing special.

Coming from larger cities, I didn't feel like The Barn pizza was anything special and I could take it or leave it.  Next time I'm in Springfield, I'll try a new place. Pics to come soon...

NOTE: if you want to leave a tip on the credit card, you need to let them know PRIOR to them processing your credit card.  Otherwise, the signature sheet will not print with a tip line on it...

I was recently at The Barn again and I still love it,but I want everyone to know that you can't leave a tip on your card! Our server was really nice and when I realized that I had no option of leaving his tip on my card I was glad that I saw the ATM in the adjacent grocery store.

The pizza is amazing.
