★★★★★ 5.0 nicholas shereos · Jan 2026

came here with my cousin's husband, and I'm really glad he recommended this spot! The drinks were solid—well-made and tasty—and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. You can tell the owner pours a lot of passion and care into the place; the vibe feels personal and welcoming. Great find—definitely worth checking out!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Heffernan · May 2025

Living the area for over a decade it didn't know that Barrington actually had a fun place to go to! The best and possibly only place in Barrington that's easy to get to for a great burger in between games at Barrington High School

WOW-ZAH! The Blue Heron Cafe!! have been craving a good burger - for weeks. So I decided to try a place nearby with a great word-of-mouth following & reputation. WHAT A FIND ( ok, NEW= To Me) This was the most amazing Char grilled-hand made Burger I've had in YEARS!! All topped with sweet grilled onions & the freshest butter lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, & BBQ sauce (on the side)......this level of burger was totally unexpected! I got a lovely fresh salad on the side- Yum! The Blue Heron Cafe = is WAY more than a local sports bar! ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheers to the Chef! And to your sweet bartenders!
