The Prairie Whale - Great Barrington

Fantastic food and cocktails! Service: Dine-in. Meal type: Dinner.

I had dinner with my daughter on a Monday night, and it was absolutely worth the 30-minute drive from home. The ambiance is wonderfully eclectic, rustic, and charming—full of warmth and character. The staff is exceedingly friendly, warm, and efficient, which enhances the experience. The food is fresh and delicious! I ordered the fried chicken, while my daughter had the burger, and we also shared a Caesar salad. Everything was incredibly fresh, tasty, and satisfying. Bravo! We dined in, and it was a delightful experience overall.

Food and drinks were tasty. Undisclosed 3% kitchen service fee, kitchen service fee applied to bar drinks, double taxed alcohol and inaccurate printed-on-receipt tip calculator spoiled our night out. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Restaurant was lively on a Friday night. Unfortunately service was lacking given waitstaff was not well prepared forgot to give us menus, and lacked knowledge of the drink and food menu when asked questions. The poor level of preparation for the waitstaff unfortunately did not match the tone the restaurant was trying to set. The cheeseburger was okay and basic while the brick chicken was moist and full of flavor. The added undisclosed surcharges on the bill were not aligned well with the service and felt highly concealed.

The Southern fried chicken and cornbread was amazing served with fresh arugula greens. We shared a green bean salad which was delicious and French fries, which were some of the best I’ve ever had. The old fashion cocktail was also a winner. Love this restaurant. We sat outside on the lawn; I recommend bringing insect repellant. Service: Dine in
