Editorial Review for Barnaby's Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
This snug little diner features fresh, uncomplicated, contemporary food. Although the parking can be nightmarish, the service is quick, and the price is right.
The Food
The simple grab-bag menu includes a balanced variety of salads (Chinese chicken, chopped chef salad), cool sandwiches (pesto-chicken salad with artichoke hearts) and hot sandwiches (various burger combos and more). A popular Barnaby's plate is Doctor Gale's meat loaf served with garlic mashed potatoes. Other worthy offerings include the hickory-smoked pink chicken with honey-barbecue sauce; Pacific Rim vegetable stir-fry; and first-rate smoked chicken tostadas with roasted corn salsa. Beer and wine are available, but pop the top off a root beer or sip on a fresh lemonade for a refreshing change.

I go to this place at least a couple of times a week - going on 4 years now. To start, the parking isn't great. You drive up hoping it's not crowded so you have a place to park, but even when having to park down a side street, it's worth the hassle. The food is great. The wait staff are all very friendly and fun, very chill and casual. The menu is fairly small, but after sampling almost everything they offer, I' ve never been disappointed. My favs are the tuna salad with pecan sandwich, the Luna's Meat Lasagna (ask for the sauce from the Spinach lasagna), the Buffalo Burger and for dessert, ask for a cookie with ice cream. It's to die for. PS... Order fries with anything you can, they are the best fries in town.
Pros: The food and staff
Cons: Parking

The food is very good. I especially like the one on Fairview. Recently I was seated where I could see the cooks in the kitchen. Hygene is horrible. Using their bare hands they would make salads, fix hamburgers, etc.,then go to the store room and do other things and never once wash their hands between these different tasks. It was so off putting to watch, I really can't go there anymore. If the people who handle food in a cafe are going to use very poor hygene, the kitchen should be closed off so the customers do not know how awful it is.
