I finally got to the Red Barn this weekend, we live in the city but were visiting our son in school in Great Barrington. It is wonderful. The quality of the food, and the care of Chris and Bert are fantastic. They really do use real local food, the atmosphere is warm and genuine and I can’t say enough about the quality and price/quality relationship. thanks again Chris, Candia Herman

On Friday and Saturday nights, Dr. Bert Goldfinger switches from a dentist’s smock to chef’s whites and clogs to man the stove at The Red Barn, while his wife Christine Jones, a former advertising executive, bakes desserts, makes ice cream, and oversees the front of the house. For decades this location and name belonged to a luncheonette/homemade ice cream parlor. Under the present owners, The Red Barn has managed to gain a pound of splendor, without sacrificing an ounce of homey-ness. The menu features enlightened versions of American classics, including crispy fried chicken ($13.50), a great burger ($9.75), a “Country Club Wedge” (iceberg lettuce with bacon and blue cheese dressing @ $7.85), and a luxurious version of a lobster roll ($24). Much of the food is raised and/or grown by their farming neighbors and even grow some of it themselves on a 1/2 acre plot at their nearby home.
