The Rice Barn - Needham

Andy at Rice Barn is amazing! The food is fantastic so is the experience!!!

Food is good, but ambience could be better. Add music and lower the lights.

A disappointing experience from a place I’ve been to numerous times, which leads me to wonder if it’s under new management. Long delay before order was taken. My wife was then given the wrong dish, so we all were nearly done before the right one eventually came out. (They took off the bill as an accommodation Food was good but pricy for lunch. We paid (after the discount) including tip for people with no alcohol We may give it another try, in case this was an aberration.

Having been to The Rice Barn several times, although not recently, we had the same expectations as we usually would for this place....delicious food and top notch service. Every restaurant has a bad night every now and then and this night was a now! Our server seemed to be a novice at best. We ordered drinks and he told us he wasn’t great with drink orders. I waited min for mine. Our calamari arrived cold. I sent it back via the manager who apologized profusely. He brought it back and it was piping hot. The remainder of our order was excellently prepared and was delicious. We will certainly go back, but may not be as patient the next time!!!

After waiting for hours, we never got our food and had to leave. Our kids were starving and everyone in the restaurant walked out without food.
