Most Disliked
A few reviews mention initial hesitations about changes made under new ownership, but most diners find their concerns unfounded once they try the food. Some feedback suggests that while the au jus for the roast beef is adequate, it lacks a stronger flavor that could elevate the dish further.
Occasionally, diners have noted that the ambiance can feel too dive-bar-like for those seeking a more upscale dining experience, though many appreciate the unpretentious setting. Additionally, during peak times like Friday evenings, it can get crowded, impacting the wait time for food and service. Overall, these aspects rarely detract from the overall positive experience at Beef Baron.

I had an appointment cancel and the great algorithm told me to try the Beef Baton out. I'm glad I did. I dad a little concerned because of some of the reviews. I the big complaint was that the new owners had changed things. I had thhe delmonico steak sandwich and it tasted amazing. Juicy, with a perfect charmarks giving it amazing grilled flavor. French were with skin on and tasted homemade. The uniform size is the only by give away they were not. I asked for whizz for my fries and it too tasted homemade. Overall amazing value. Ask for Michelle. Her service and attention and hospitality were outstanding. Now I got a go-to when I'm out this way.

I had an appointment canceled and the app suggested trying Beef Baton — I’m so glad I did! I was a bit hesitant because of some reviews mentioning changes under the new owners, but everything was fantastic. I had the Delmonico steak sandwich, and it was cooked perfectly — juicy with great char marks and a delicious grilled flavor. The fries came with the skin on and tasted homemade (the uniform size is the only hint they weren’t), and I got them with Whizz, which also tasted fresh and homemade. Overall, great value. Make sure to ask for Michelle — her service, attention, and hospitality were excellent. I now have a new go-to spot whenever I’m in the area!

Had a blast yesterday with my husband & brother for an early dinner & drinks. Food was top notch, we had a burger, hot RB sand au jus, and chicken fingers with those excellent hand cut fries. Server/barmaid Lindsey was a joy, attentive & friendly to all. We will be back!! Kudos to the kitchen crew as well! Played the jukebox too.

I had the Baron burger as I had read the beer case and it stated it was the readers choice best burger 🍔 I have to say it did not dissapoint. It was Huge like a Burger my uncle would make on the grill and it was flame broiled so it had a great char that I didn't know I was craving. The fries were a handcut style and the small sides of pickled peppers and pickles were the perfect addition to such a great meal. For the price it was definitely a deal. The ambiance of the the restaurant was more dive bar style which was perfect for me. I am glad I was staying at the Fairfield to have been able to discover this place. I was as satisfied as I could be with the service and the flavor. If your trying to decide whether you should come here just take my advice and DO IT...

Walked in and it was empty so I got a little nervous but it was really good food. The roast beef was very tender. The au jus could have had a stronger flavor but it was adequate. The natural cut fries were great. Definitely worth staying. Highly recommended!
