May 12th – May 18th
There’s something about a new week at Barrels & Boards that keeps people coming back to Barrels & Boards. Maybe it’s the rotating chef features. Maybe it’s the cocktails. Maybe it’s the fact that one dinner reservation somehow turns into appetizers, another round of drinks, and dessert you swore you weren’t ordering.
This week’s lineup delivers everything guests love about elevated dining in Raynham — bold flavors, comfort-driven dishes, steakhouse-level cuts, and handcrafted cocktails that feel like an event all on their own.
Start the Night with Something Share-Worthy
Lobster Dip
Warm, rich, and built to disappear fast.
This decadent lobster dip blends tender lobster with cream cheese, gruyère, and fresh herbs for a silky, savory starter that hits every note. Served bubbling hot with crispy pita, it’s the kind of appetizer the entire table suddenly claims ownership over after the first bite.
Creamy Kale White Bean Dip
Comfort food with an elevated twist.
Roasted garlic, tahini, olive oil, and creamy white beans come together with fresh kale for a velvety dip packed with earthy flavor and smooth texture. It’s rich without feeling heavy, balanced perfectly with warm crispy pita for dipping.
Entrées That Steal the Spotlight
Barrel’s 52oz Grilled Tomahawk
Some dishes don’t need an introduction. This is one of them.
The 52-ounce bone-in grilled ribeye is the definition of a centerpiece steak. Deep marbling, bold char-grilled flavor, and a buttery finish from seasoned steak butter make this one of the most impressive cuts to hit the table at Barrels & Boards. Served alongside whipped potatoes and asparagus, this is steakhouse dining at its absolute peak.
If you’re looking for the “wow” dish this week — this is it.
French Cut Pork
Perfectly grilled and packed with flavor, this 12-ounce French cut pork chop delivers a balance of savory richness and subtle sweetness. The beer mustard adds a tangy kick while fingerling potatoes and roasted squash round out the dish with warm, comforting flavors that feel made for spring evenings.
Rainbow Trout Almondine
Light, refined, and layered with bright flavor.
This beautifully seared rainbow trout is paired with sweet grapes, toasted almonds, lemon beurre blanc, lemon herb risotto, and green beans for a dish that feels elegant without trying too hard. Every bite balances citrus, richness, freshness, and texture in a way that keeps you going back for one more forkful.
From the Bar: This Week’s Cocktail Features
At Barrels & Boards, the cocktail program is never an afterthought — and this week’s featured drinks prove it.
Crème Brûlée Espresso Martini
Dessert and cocktail lovers officially agree on something.
Vanilla vodka, Borghetti espresso liqueur, crème brûlée cream liqueur, and fresh espresso come together for a smooth, rich espresso martini with notes of caramelized vanilla and coffee. Think after-dinner cocktail with serious personality.
Blackberry Mint Old Fashioned
A fresh seasonal spin on a bourbon classic.
Bulleit Bourbon meets blackberry mint and cardamom bitters for a cocktail that’s bold, aromatic, slightly herbal, and dangerously smooth. If your idea of a perfect night involves great bourbon and good conversation, start here.
Featured Sips & Drafts
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
Bright, crisp, and refreshing with citrus-forward character that pairs perfectly with seafood dishes and warm-weather dining.
Allagash White
The iconic Belgian-style wheat ale delivers light citrus and spice notes with an easy-drinking finish.
Leinenkugel Summer Shandy
Summer in a pint glass. Light-bodied, refreshing, and perfect for patio season.
