Canteen Restaurant

Giving this place a 5 star because of the service and the food that was recommended to me. The place is ok inside, I like the little decor but it was kind of cold in there. I would go back and try something else for sure.

This is a perfect spot for breakfast. Located in downtown Barrington, Canteen restaurant is the place to go for delicious briskets all day long. The food and service here is a 10/10.

We tried the avocado toast with brisket & the smoked brisket with eggs. The brisket was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and I loved the smoky flavor. The Greek frappe iced coffee that was recommended by the host was amazing. I could have had two of those.

The wait staff is so friendly and the restaurant has such good vibes. We were there for 2+hours and the staff checked on us often. I need to go back there asap and try other things on their menu

Finally had the chance to visit this cute little spot again after literal YEARS of passing it. I forgot how much the atmosphere is so inviting! Such a cute, old school diner feel. You can tell it is family run and they take pride in their food. I will say that the dish I got had way too much of that diablo sauce they serve and it wasn't the best BBQ I've had, BUT it may have been the dish itself. They have a fantastic menu and I look forward to trying their other dishes! Check them out! It's worth it!

If you’re a fan of the good ole diner feel then get to canteen as soon as possible. They have all the diner classics that you love but they throw in an exquisite barbecue twist. I opted for the Diablo pulled pork skillet and it was some of the best barbecue sauce I’ve ever tasted. (Diablo is a bit misleading. It was very tangy with a little kick at the end)

Everything you get, you’ll enjoy. It’s a small place where it feels like everyone is a regular. You’ll love it.
