Barrel & Derrick Restaurant - Odessa (TX)

1 /5 Josiah Manriquez: I want to start by saying the food was amazing and delicious. Unfortunately, our experience was negatively impacted by our server, Yesenia. Some of our food was served cold because it was left sitting on the service trays for several minutes, as she was not attentive and seemed to forget about it. Mind you it was not busy at all, there were only about 3 parties in the whole restaurant including us. Considering we spent over $750 on our tab, we expected excellent service, but instead received poor service. Yesenia was rude, had an attitude, and was not helpful throughout our visit. It felt as though she was aware an automatic gratuity of $115 had been applied and therefore did not make an effort to provide quality service. The food itself was outstanding, but the service significantly detracted from the experience. If you are assigned Yesenia as your server, I would recommend requesting a different one, as she unfortunately ruined what could have been a great dining experience.

5 /5 Elizabet Morales: 5 star service every time!!! The food is beyond amazing. Its always fresh and exceeds expectations. The servers are extremely professional and accommodating. The atmosphere is good for a casual lunch but also elevated for an intimate date night dinner out.

5 /5 Miguel Lozano: 5 Stars—Every Single Time Barrel & Derrick is one of our favorite places to dine. The food is always incredible (seriously, you can’t go wrong), and the service is top-notch every single visit. Hands down one of the best spots in Midland/Odessa—it never disappoints. Huge shout-out to Mackenzie, who always goes above and beyond to make our experience amazing. If you want great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere, ask for Mackenzie!

5 /5 Justin Conway: My wife and I had dinner at BARREL & DERRICK at 9pm on a Monday. The modern deco dining room was big, clean and beautiful, with low lighting. We were sat immediately by our host at a comfortable booth. Our server was considerate & courteous. We started by sharing a Peach & Burrata Salad, and for the main course we ordered the smoked Turkey Avocado BLT with truffle parmesan fries, a side order of grilled broccolini, the Ultimate Chicken Fried Steak with whipped gold mash potato and house made jalapeño gravy, and a Elysian Space Dust IPA. All the food was phenomenal. This was probably the best Chicken Fried Steak Ive ever had, perfectly breaded & fried. This was one of the best meals we had on our 10 day road trip. I would be surprised if BARREL & DERRICK wasnt the best restaurant in all of Odessa. We spent $113.66 including tip, and it was worth every penny. Thank you, chef.
