I was a little concerned about going to The Barbed Rose because of some of the negative reviews -- glad I didn't let that sway me, I was thoroughly delighted! I chose to go to the Burger Bar side and was surprised when I was offered menus from both the restaurant and the burger bar; that was nice. The restaurant offerings were pricey but I didn't think they were out of line with nice steak house pricing; however, wanting to keep my check on the lower end I selected from the ""Tricked out Burger"" section. I ordered a 1/4 lb burger with cheese and mushrooms for $6 and added a side Caeser salad for $3.50. The salad was different from any Caeser salad I have ever had but it was very good and the burger was amazing -- I had a great meal for under $10.00 (not including tax and tip) and the staff was attentive and extremely friendly! As a side note, I was also happy to learn that they purchase as much as possible from local farms and vendors. I will go back and suggest that others try it as well!
