Barney’s Drive-In Reviews

Nikkie G

“Great food and root beer! Everything tastes super fresh, the burger and hand-cut fries were amazing, and the honey vanilla ice cream is to die for! The new ownership is doing a great job and I’m excited to eat here this summer!”

Aaron Olmanson

“Barney’s is a classic Drive-In and a great part of every Waseca summer. I grew up in Waseca and always enjoyed going to Barney’s as a kid. Now I live in the Twin Cities and bring my kids back to enjoy a classic Waseca treat!
It’s great to see my kids reactions when they put the tray on the window, they’ve never seen that anywhere else.”

Eric Chinquis

“It’s one of the best hamburgers, homemade fries, and rootbeer that I’ve ever tasted! Barney’s rocks!”

Glen Morris

“A nice place to go and get some ice cream after the lake! They are conveniently located right off of the lake and about a mile down from the south boat entrance to clear lake. Walkable by a trail. Wish they had a dock for boats. Ice cream was good, food is all right. Nothing special or homemade. They also have nice drive-in ports similar to an A&w restaurant”
