testimonials

This is a jewel of a spot in downtown Mountain Home, great food and great beers. The staff was very informative and the ordering process easy to follow. The food came out quickly and was very good. WNe had the mahi tacos and a pretzel and it was fine split between us for the meal we wanted. We will return many times down the road.

Andrew Kee - 5-Stars

Poke bowl was delicious and filling. Side of fries was generous. Carne Asada tacos were tender. Best black IPA I have had. Solid Stout. Overall good brews.

Our first time here and found an absolutely charming and inviting atmosphere at Rapp’s Barren Brewing Company. We had Mahi Tacos and Beef Sliders which were both excellent. Our bartender Echelle was super friendly, took time to explain the menu, being our first time here, and helped us find points of interest in the Mountain Home area. We will absolutely be back and hope to have Echelle again.

The atmosphere is gorgeous, the bartenders and other staff are great, and the food and drinks are excellent! The Shrimp & Grits was the most flavorful delicious dish ever! The Roasted Garlic Bourbon Burger was also yum! Thighly recommend a Cidermosa, but you will have no shortage of exciting beverage options, here!

We just had to stop here for my 40th birthday celebration after a day on the river. The poke nachos were amazing. Beyond amazing. In fact am already craving more. My husband had carne asada fried and loved them. They brought out delicious hot gooey cookies for my birthday and we also enjoyed fantastic customer service and beers. This will be a place we must stop at every time we're in the area!
