Gordos Barn - Atkinson (IL)

1 /5 David Kelley: Decided to try the Barn. Ive heard how "good food" is served there. WASTE OF TIME!! Go to Caseys instead!! Im a local resident that got treated like someone that will never come back and it just might be that way. I took my wife out for an early Halloween dinner. We figgured that it would be nice dinner around 6pm. Kids and their parents were still trick or treating. We entered a poorly lit, dark wood themed restraunt, that we thought looked aged and rustic. We expected a full menu. When we sat down, we waited approximately 10 minutes to be greeted by a bartender whose first words were," we aint got no wait staff. And were only serving pizza." We were handed one menu and she walked away without taking a drink order. Not even waters. We waited some more time to find out that you had to go to the bar counter, order your drinks and meal, all while others were being served at tables and the bar. Im not sure how operations normally go, but I would expect the same treatment if I were to return. The pizza smelled awesome when we walked in, not knowing it turned from a full restraunt to pizza ovens only, with a cash bar. The order took 45 minutes. We all know pizza is done in less than half that time. Our order was forgotten about, then made in a rush when their take out orders slowed down. The pizza order was made incorrectly. We should have walked out. We were so hungry, we decided to stay. The pizza was greasy and delivered to the table with 2 single paper plates to share. My wife got sick after eating the pizza. Were just going to blame the extra grease, not the cold mushrooms on top. An all meat pizza, with mushrooms on half and 2 canned sodas, $30. (Green olives and onions were missing and we were charged for it.) We said goodbye on the way out, to no goodbye from the staff. 3 people were in the bar when we left.

3 /5 RES JR.: Pizza is decent (sometimes). Big drop off in quality since covid. I like the molly mcbutter and olive oil on the crust thats kind of a unique twist.

1 /5 LeBlanc Ronald (EMDream): Update as of 6/4/19 The food was fine; however, the service was horrible. First, I ordered a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes on it. When the food arrived, I did not have lettuce or tomato on my sandwich had I to flag down the waitress for it. Then when the bill arrived, I reviewed it only to see that I was charged 2$ for LT or lettuce and tomato when the menu said 25 cents. This is Not OK. I didnt want to cause a scene with my 20 month old kid with me. So, I kindly thanked them for the meal, and I will never return again. Below is my old review disregard it. I will leave it posted though. This place has great pizza, tenderloins, and, burgers. The service wasnt the best though; they forgot my wifes toppings for her tenderloin and forgot my bread pudding. I had to ask for it twice. When they brought it to me; it was tough and super hot like when you leave it in the microwave too long; it was not very good. I would recommend this place for take out only on the pizza. Also this place is cash only no debit or credit cards they really need to upgrade.

1 /5 Jared Simmons: Drove an hour from Iowa because the place has good pizza we were told and wasn’t even open on a Saturday when their page says open. Grabbed pizza from Casey’s instead. Get your business together Gordo
