Barrel and Brie

What an absolutely awesome little shop!!! Stocked with something for EVERYONE and all supplied by local vendors! The family who runs the shop is super sweet, the food is amazing, and it’s an absolutely MUST to stop and see!

Stopped in with my wife for some Ice cream and am really glad we did. We drive through the area frequently during the summer and now have a new place to stop. The young woman working was very friendly and attentive. My wife is very picky about her ice cream and was thoroughly impressed. We were also just overwhelmed with how adorable and well behaved the pup was, she was just a joy to pet. We will definitely be back to grab some coffee or lunch in the future!

This was the first time we stopped here since they remodeled the store. Now it's more open and spacious with sit down tables, clean washrooms, the usual excellent sandwiches, and cheese curds that are too die for. They also had a great selection of regional cheeses. Highly recommended if traveling through or local.

My friend and I came at the end of the day so we were the only people in the deli besides the worker. She was very nice to us and served our ice cream with a smile. The inside of the deli was very pleasing to look at with many products from local businesses. If you're looking for some quality cheese, meat, and delicious ice cream I definitely would stop by Barrel and Brie.

I travel in this area for work often. I eat lunch here every time I am in the area, about twice per month. This place is by far the best option for a quick lunch in NW IL. They always have tasty specials, and the build your own sandwich or wrap option is so convenient, fast, and always tastes fresh. The staff is very friendly and the prices affordable. They also sell a variety of local items like cheeses, meats, jarred goods, alcohol and more. In the summer you can sit outside on the picnic tables and enjoy the couple of animals they have roaming about. This place is excellent in every regard.

I want to thank Kim for taking care of me. With maple syrup season in full swing and I know how fast they sell out of the syrup they make and I won't be able to make it there for awhile Kim took a order for me and mailed me 2qts of their amazing syrup. I received in 2 days and have already enjoyed it on my pancakes. Thank you Kim and Scott
Also if you get a chance to stop at the barrel and brie you will not be disappointed go hungry and have some pulled pork taco or brisket. And they have so many other products from cheese wine and many other treats. I drive 2 hours just to go here oh and they have ice cream too like I said go hungry and you will leave with a happy full belly

We requested 15 meat and cheese trays for some business marketing only a few days in advance. I must say, they knocked it out of the park and did such a fantastic job and the customer service was very refreshing!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

First time visit this place. This is not just deli, it is also small store where they sell meat, cheese, jams, and many others. Also they have small ice cream shop too.

I ordered sandwich, Cajun Turkey with Jalapeños muenster with spicy ranch and rye along with tomato, lettuce and black olives. Very delicious.

I would visit again when I am back in town.

I have passed by Barrel and Brie so many times I lost count. Well I finally stopped in and wondering why it took me so long. This place is very relaxing and the Ice Cream is the Best.

Great place to stop for lunch or ice cream. Lots of artisan things to buy in the shops, pricing isn’t bad for a small biz. Family of five on our way camping were able to get a sandwich, bottle drink, and chips or cookie for about $8-9 each. Kids loved being able to order their own sandwiches and each said they were “so delicious, we need to eat here again”. They also enjoyed being able to look at the farm animals while we ate. Will definitely stop again if we come this way again.

I have never had a bad meal here, and it is my go to at least once a week. Phenomenal food, cute store, amazing customer service.

Always a great experience at Barrel & Brie! Amazing food, convenient location & very nice team of people.

Fantastic beef brisket sandwich. Best I have had in years. The price was half of what I would have paid in the Chicago area. Very friendly people and we bought a brisket to take home. We will stop here every tomw we head to the Galena area.

I had the bacon, egg , and Colby jack cheese on Texas toast bfast sandwich on Friday..fresh..hot..and delicious!! Tons of bacon and definitely farm fresh eggs. Tuesday I stopped for lunch and got the pulled pork quesadilla. It was the tastiest smoked pork I've eaten..and I have a smoker! It made my day..stop in and treat yourself..great prices and quality food!

Love love love this place. It's a cute little place that has a little bit of everything. It also has animals outside you can go see. The ice cream was delicious 😋. Will stop in again.

The best sandwich. Made with local ingredients. Check them out!!

Pleasant little shop for some delicious, small batch type cheeses and meats, etc.

Barrel & Brie is a unique Store and Restaurant to get what you need. Breakfast Sandwiches to go are awesome. Coffee can be flavored with your whatever is your flavor is. Their ice cream creations make a hot summer day better. Bakery products are a great snack. Grab your favorite cut of meat to grill for dinner. Easy in and out on Rt 20!

Barrel & Brie is amazing. A bit of everything. The sandwiches are great and the various cuts of beef and pork are a good deal. Ice Cream is a wonderful treat. I Luv it there.
