| - So this was our first experience here. We were looking for something casual and down to earth to take a break from all the celebrity chef and high-priced stuffier places. We came across the Double Barrel while waiting for the Blue Man Group show.
First the wait. We waited fifteen minutes for a table for two. The hostess told us up front about the wait and said we could go sit in the bar area if we didn't want to wait because the full menu was available. We chose to wait. There were empty tables in the restaurant while we waited but might have been part of the bar seating. Either way, we didn't mind waiting and the staff was up front about it.
Once we sat down, the service was very slow. Our server came up to our table as soon as we sat down and asked if we wanted to place our entire order for drinks and food because it was going to take a while. We weren't ready to order yet, so we waited until she came back a few minutes and placed our order. Turns out the server was right. It took a long time for our food to come out. Well over thirty minutes. Once we had finished eating, it took another twenty minutes to get our plates cleared and to get the check. Overall, very slow for a place of this style. It looked like they might have been understaffed. The server was working really hard but she had way too many tables. Needed at least two more servers.
The food we ordered all tasted good. However, for what we ordered the price was way too high and the portions to small for two of the three items. We ordered the baked BBQ oysters, the pulled pork sliders, and the garlic fries. The garlic fries were delicious, the portion was good for two people to share, and the price was right. The pork sliders were also delicious, but over priced. $12 for two small sliders is a bit much. Lastly, the baked BBQ oysters.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The portion size is four tiny oysters. To give you a reference to the size, there was a small piece of bacon on top of each oyster. The total amount of bacon was less than that of one average strip. There was less oyster meat than bacon. Bacon is amazing, but when you're ordering oysters, you don't want the bacon to compliment the oysters, not overpower them. Third component of this dish, the BBQ sauce tasted good, but there was too much. In one shell, I couldn't find the oyster in the sauce, even after I removed the piece of bacon. So yeah, for $12 paid for this dish, I was really disappointed. Save your money on this one and order something else.
Some of the other dishes that I saw people ordering looked substantial and good, but again, overpriced. $17 for a basic cheeseburger is a bit much. And while I understand that this is Vegas and things are more expensive, but for a casual place like this, these were a bit too high.
To summarize, the food tasted good but the portions were too small for the price paid on the appetizer and main dish and the service was way too slow because they appeared to be understaffed.
I would probably go back again because I never write a place off after just one visit, but I won't be back soon until they can work out the kinks.
