WOW-ZAH! The Blue Heron Cafe!!
have been craving a good burger - for weeks. So I decided to try a place nearby with a great word-of-mouth following & reputation.
WHAT A FIND ( ok, NEW= To Me)
This was the most amazing Char grilled-hand made Burger I've had in YEARS!! All topped with sweet grilled onions & the freshest butter lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, & BBQ sauce (on the side)......this level of burger was totally unexpected! I got a lovely fresh salad on the side- Yum!
The Blue Heron Cafe = is WAY more than a local sports bar! ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheers to the Chef! And to your sweet bartenders!

Such a great local place. Killian's taste great, portion are so generous. Italian beef sandwich is out of this world.

Tucked away bar with cold beer and handmade thin crust pizzas. Far and away some of the best pizza in the area (sausage giardiniera). Bartenders, owners and other patrons are always friendly and in a good mood. Has a nice patio out back that is dog friendly and has TVs. The Blue Heron has become our go-to local bar.

I live this place. It's been there for like 35 years. It was a little updated just before covid. Basic bar menu and very nostalgic which I love. Just three basic beers on tap which I also love. You gotta check it out. It's got an old golf course club house feel to me. Try the easy drinking Killians on tap. Tell him Andy sent you!

Great local bar where everyone knows everyone, I didn't know anyone & still felt welcomed! Their Friday night fish fry, especially the walleye, is a must!

If you like a nice friendly bar this is the place. Good food, very reasonable prices and big portions. Bring cash. No credit cards.

Went for lunch and place just opened so I was only person there. Lunch was good and reasonably priced. Owner and I had good conversations. Be aware they are cash only. Didn't know until got check. Fortunately was not an issue.

Great atmosphere, friendly people. Great food.

Been stopping in since the late '70's. I always visit when I am back home in Barrington. Good food, great atmosphere, and most of all great patrons. The owner needs to be commended for keeping it all together.... CHEERS!

Great local hangout. With probably a dozen TV's always tuned to Chicago sports, this is a Cubs/Hawks/Bears joint (but no haters allowed - Sox fans are welcome.)

Always an enjoyable, relaxing time at the Blue Heron. Eddie serves good food and he's a very pleasant guy. Great place to stop and see the locals.

Very friendly staff
Food was fresh and tasty
I had bang bang shrimp

It’s a big hotel with friendly services. I was even allowed to change the room after a week stay. It has apple parking and modern equipment.

Great place for a beer and Golden Tee

Great food, friendly neighborhood atmosphere and fantastic bartenders!

I can't eat anywhere else after tasting this pizza. Best hidden gem in Barrington.

Great food. Local pub. Nice people.

Friendly local place, a little hard to find, but well worth seeking it out.

Fantastic local bar with good food.
