A Taste of Autumn at Barrels and Boards

This Week’s Features | September 22, 2026

Autumn is arriving at Barrels and Boards with warm spices, rich sauces, and comfort food worth settling in for. This week’s features bring together fresh seafood, slow-braised short rib, and seasonal flavors like bourbon, fig, apple, and pumpkin.

Start Fresh or Go Savory

From the raw bar, enjoy Colossal Shrimp Cocktail, delicately poached and served with our signature house cocktail sauce and fresh lemon ($6 each), or locally sourced Oysters on the Half Shell with house cocktail sauce and a fresh lemon wedge ($4 each).

For a hearty start, try our Hibiscus BBQ Short Rib Cornbread Skillet. Slow-braised short rib meets cheddar-jalapeño cornbread, smoked cheddar sauce, and a hibiscus-bourbon BBQ glaze, finished with pickled jalapeños, crispy onions, and scallions ($20).

Our Smokehouse Burrata brings creamy burrata together with bacon-tomato jam, roasted garlic, balsamic reduction, fresh basil, and cracked black pepper. Grilled sourdough makes the perfect companion for every bite ($19).

Autumn Comfort Takes Center Stage

The Maine Lobster Pot Pie is a seasonal indulgence, filled with lobster, sweet corn, peas, baby carrots, pearl onions, and roasted wild mushrooms in a sherry-lobster cream sauce. Golden puff pastry, fresh herbs, and whipped mashed potatoes complete the dish ($46).

For another rich taste of the season, our Bourbon Fig Grilled Lamb Chops feature a rosemary-garlic marinade and bourbon-fig demi-glace. Served with goat cheese polenta, roasted acorn squash, charred broccolini, caramelized cipollini onions, and crispy shallots, this plate brings autumn flavor to every forkful ($54).
