Our Guestbook
“ We have over 100 restaurants on our Pet Friendly Northshore list. We have probably eaten at well over 80 of them, and while there are so many that we adore, we have only eaten at one that we can both say was the absolute BEST dining experience ever. To say the food was incredible was an understatement. The steak was among the finest I have ever had, cooked to perfection and the flavoring was mouth watering. We happened to come on Steak Night (Thursday nights!), and I dare you to find a better steak for the price anywhere! The gumbo! Spoke & Barrel has won the award of Best Gumbo on the Northshore as awarded by Taylor who is an infamous GumboSnob. The Fettucine Fra Diavolo was delicious, with just enough kick to make it stand out, but you weren't needing to gulp down your beer. Speaking of beer, I LOVE restaurants that have wide assortments of local breweries on hand. The rotating cycle of beers definitely keeps it interesting, and I really loved the Lemon Buffer from #AgileBrewing. Rupert gave his PupperSteak four paws up with a little drool! Cheesecake...I'm normally not a huge fan, but Taylor is, and so we order cheesecake. I wish I remembered exactly what kind it was, not quite lemon, not quite orange. It had a unique and refreshing taste and I would definitely have it again! But I have to save the best of the food for last, and that is the Crawfish Truffle Mac & Cheese. It was beyond good. It was like little Southern Angels came down and created the absolute masterpiece of a Southern appetizer. A straight 12/10! The location is beautiful, nestled near the Mandeville Lakefront with plenty of parking and a beautiful lighted pergola to sit under. We saw dogs! We met Bailey and Lupe and it was so cool to see other dogs out and about! The absolute clincher to our night goes to the one and only Gabbyie!!!! Talk about a personality that makes you feel welcome! We laughed, we talked dogs, we talked snakes, we even met her Mom! I got her schedule because 50% of the reason we would go back is for her! It was an amazing experience and after this very rough week, we left with giant smiles, full bellies, and plans for future visits. Spoke & Barrel, I'm sorry we slept on you all for so long. Y'all were simply amazing and we cannot say enough good things about the entire visit! ”
“ Thank you Julia, for excellent service We got small plates, soup, and a meat and cheese tray. Lots of food! Needed a box to take home. Great spot, right on the trail. Food is really good! ”
“ We had such a fabulous time for our pup meet up. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. It was steak night and the ribeye was on point. All in all, it was an amazing time for all of the guests and their pups! ”
“ The food is really good and the service. We had pumpkin seed crusted trout and BBQ chicken breast with asparagus and roasted sweet potatoes mash. Had the Cuban cocktail with coconut. Very bitter. ”
“ Spoke and Barrel is one of the underrated restaurants on the Northshore. This gem located at the Mandeville trailhead delivers consistent food and drink. An extensive tap list will quench any beer lovers thirst. Have dined here multiple times with Cheye our server giving us excellent service each time. It has the appearance being too big but when you get inside the staff makes it feel much more like a neighborhood joint. Their 5 old fashioneds are solid and make sure to hit their Thursday steak featuring ribeye and filet. Don’t sleep on their creamed spinach. ”
“ Beautiful spot, huge bar, plenty of seating indoors but has great patio to sit out and people watch. Bartenders were great! ”
“ What an amazing experience! The menu was fresh, innovative and of the highest quality. Typically at breweries the food lacks or it's mediocre due to the attention being put on the beer. Not this place! The food and beer were of equal quality. Just go and give it a try. P.S. John was or server and he made the experience that much better! ”
