Barrel 135 Restaurant - Williamsport

We’ve had two completely different experiences. First time we came here was about a month ago, and my brunch burger was the best I’ve ever had and I loved the vibe. I decided right then and there that I’m bringing my family for Father’s Day here, so we made a reservation. What a disappointment. The staff were so visibly stressed out that it rubbed off on me and I wasn’t hungry anymore. I feel bad for them, and understand how overwhelmed they were. It took a good 15 minutes to get noticed by our server, who missed several things in our order, and was absolutely struggling, and we didn’t want to inconvenience her further. Even our food wasn’t nearly as good as our first time. Asked for one berry tiramisu at the end, which took over 20 minutes, and at that point I just wanted to walk out. Please take care of your staff, don’t overbook your place, and give them the means to provide a good service they’re capable of. (Side note: they were out of BLTE both times we were here.

Just got in Williamsport after hours of traveling, just wanted a drink and a meal. Were greeted and seated. 20 minutes and no mention of a drink!!! Several other people came in and apparently were “regulars” they were greeted and sat immediately!!!! We left…

We were staying at the hotel next-door, this is the best place in town 1–19

Our waitress was EXCELLENT! We had reservations and was seated quickly and that was just the beginning on the great experience. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable to say the least! (Made a recommendation for a mushroom dish which I LOVED) We liked it there so much we came back the next morning for brunch. The same waitress was there and even though she did not wait on us she still took the time to say hi and make us feel welcomed. We will be eating here again the next time we’re in town!

The lamb shank with sweet potatoes and whipped feta and honey was excellent!
