Barracuda in Hertsmere

Great service, very friendly staff and delicious food.

There is parking at the back of the restaurant. Very good service but wasn’t impressed with food. Big portions though.

This restaurant is honestly one of my favourites! And I've been to quite a few! Food is always top quality, service and staff are always very friendly and make you smile and the cost is affordable. Clean, lovely looking place with a warm atmosphere. Coming here is a must! I recommend the carbonara, I've yet to find one better and I've been looking for the past 15years. This by far is still the top of my list. The pistachio dessert is also incredible.

Our first visit to Barracuda in Bushey. What a wonderful restaurant. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too kuchen trouble. The food was delicious, highly recommended! Will definitely be returning and will bring others too. Thank you.

Love coming in here but the opening hours have changed. We used to come in for dinner and it now closes at 5. Very child friendly with good sized and tasty portions of food.

My companion and I, although not as regular visitors as we would like to be, enjoyed a lovely evening once again at this very pleasant restaurant. The food and service was excellent and as good as may be found in any other local eatery and in point of fact is, in many instances, even better. We will not hesitate to return again very soon and would endorse recommending it to all those in our community of friends and relations. It is vey good value for money and the ambience is extremely pleasant indeed. Well worth a visit.

An excellent place to eat lunch with really friendly service

This is the most special place for me to come to for many reasons. The Staff especially Deano and Magda both of whom serve the customer surpassing all expectations , in particular on this day my birthday my brother brought me here for breakfast. The atmosphere , food and amazing service makes it my absolute favourite place to visit. Many times we have visited for respite from hospital visits , after our dad passed and on a day in July when it was my birthday. Once we finished our delicious breakfast a huge encore of happy birthday and a beautiful tirimisu cake with a sparkler and a candle was brought out for me by Magda. I was so overwhelmed by the kindness especially as I was also missing the presence of our mum and dad . The staff are all so wonderful and the food exceptional. Thank you Baracudas and all who serve us . You are an amazing family and team with bags of compassion , kindness and beautiful hearts. May it all return back to you 🫶🏽 A very happy long time customer , you are the best kept secret in bushey . Long may you prosper. I salute you 🖐🏽 ☺️🤗🫂🪽🤲🏽 God bless Anjie & Jay ambience

I placed 2 separate breakfast orders, I was told to collect the orders in 10 minutes. I collected the order in 10 minutes, both breakfasts were packed into one small bag. The coffees in my order were overfilled, leaking out of the paper cups. Due to this the bag broke and all the food was spilled on the floor. I went back to my house and found out that there was no jam given in my order however, I was charged. The bread was burnt. I spoke to the manager and made a complaint and instead of compensating me for the inadequate items, he used offensive swear words and was extremely rude. I will never go there again. I do not recommend. Horrible service.

Loved it, food was good service was even better

Good food Great atmosphere Great staff ,everything was perfect from start to finish ,even tho we stayed past the closing time they didn't rush us or made us feel uncomfortable. Will definitely come back soon.

Small portions and unfriendly waitress, Baracuda Stanmore is a much better restaurant.

Come many times, food is lovely, good value and great staff.

Just the best breakfast and super service

Poached eggs on toast for two of us which were hard boiled . Brought more one was still hard boiled. toast was cold. It took ages. Which chef cannot cook poached eggs! the manager was extremely rude. I said I’ve dined there quite a few times and he replied aggressively he didn’t recognise me. He insulted my friend as well. The food is large and as you would cook at home . Just been there for convenience. NEVER AGAIN! They also don’t change simple items I.e instead of hash browns mushrooms. Only place I know that refused to do something so simple!

Really friendly staff (I’ve noticed they are particularly good with children) fantastic service and incredible food. A great restaurant!

Great experience, lovely food and so family friendly especially with young children. Will definitely be back.

Almost everything was right except the wine. They seem to short fill the large glasses we asked for. Unacceptable and unbelievable. The large is a small and bit. Not large. Again: Unacceptable!!!

Great place to eat! Always good service, also great its open for breakfast again. Prices are very reasonable 😋. Easy free parking and its in the middle of Bushey high street!

Just had delivered margarita and pollo bolognese fantastic and guys there so lovely and generous gave me extra love yer and your food see yer soon xx

Took family from abroad to experience an English Breakfast at Barracuda Bushey, what a disappointment. Service very poor to the point of almost non existent e.g. left waiting 45 mins to order . Portion size small, toast burnt, raw fried eggs, Panini lacking filling and mozzarella uncooked salad w/o dressing. Won’t be rushing back.

The service by SOMA was exceptional - charming manner and a beautiful smile. Food was lovely and happy to be served by Miss. Morocco. Peter R.

Always buzzing! Great food, good value. We always enjoy our breakfast here.

I ordered delivery with my boyfriend today pasta Carbonarra,Milanesse and Margharitta pizza....everything tastes great,been well seasoned,cooked and packed. There not be any reason for complain and I can just recomend this place if you'll fancy have a nice Italian food.

Mother’s Day spent here was delightful! Well done to all the staff.

Great family run restaurant and grt choice on breakfast menu

It's a fantastic place to eat, but book ahead as they get busy. The shopfront looks small, but is a really large restaurant with an accessible pay and display carpark at rear and wheel chair accessible with a ramp from the carpark to rear entrance.

They make a really fantastic brunch until 12pm if you're up early enough go for it! They have options to change your bread and/or your eggs! Unfortunately they don't do swaps but they taste delicious and the food is always high quality! Staff deliver quick, efficient but wonderful service! I would highly recommend them! 5 stars!

Nice and airy place , good coffee , cheese sandwich was well done … will come again

Great atmosphere, with the best eggs florentine ive tasted in years.

Lovely buzzing atmosphere Friendly staff excellent value

The service was quick but my panini was lukewarm and the cheese hadn’t melted. I felt that the panini had been assembled and not cooked for long enough. The chips were hot. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere sociable.

After 30 mins of wait, we were told that the food ticket was lost. And were not offered an alternative other than waiting for another 30 mins. We didn't have time to wait for another 30 mins and had to leave without an alternative or a genuine apology.

Decent meal but very expensive for what it is.

Sadly this was not my best trip to this usually pleasant restaurant. I will not return after being called a bitch by the waiter! After he bumped into me why we waited for a table. Then rudely ordered me to wait at the bar. The most worrying part of this is that the food that fell onto the wraiters trousers...and was crushed with him trying to catch it was then served to the customer!!!! I will not return. Don't appreciate bei g called a bitch! Appalling behaviour and food was pretty awfull to go with it.

Yet another fabulous visit. Wonderful service, staff are so friendly attentive and efficient. Great food, I usually come from breakfast but today had lunch. It was really tasty and perfect portion. Thanks again for always being consistent and a fabulous team.

Had a superb breakfast on a Sunday morning. Great food and service and great seating in their outdoor enclosure. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area.

Ordered online for a chicken tagliatelle. Meant to have chicken, pine nuts, and pesto. Given some oily mess with courgettes, peppers and pasta. Not as described. This is the third time they have given me an item not as described. I even put special instructions on the order. I find it crazy that if this was meant to be in the item it should have a description that matches. Not happy.

Lovely place. I went there for breakfast. Great choices and varied menu

Excellent all round, super deal on a two course special. Highly recommended

Good food and excellent service

Fabulous breakfast nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely spotless. Amazing service all staff friendly, professional. Thank you all

Met with my friends for lunch but unfortunately it was very disappointing as many children were screaming so loud we could not have a conversation. Also my omelet was very hard and unpleasant. I have no problem with children in restaurants but it should not spoil others experience.

The best service for miles. Eat here regularly because everything is so good. Thank you Patricia xxx

We came for breakfast; twice now! Highly recommend as its delicious with great ambiance. Service was exceptional! If you want a chilled chatty restaurant with amazing service this is your place.

Visited this branch for 1st time with a family member for lunch, the staff were friendly. The downside of my meal which was a chicken salad which on the whole was nice apart from the clumps of salt that seem to be in parts of the chicken slices 😳 If it wasn't for that I would have enjoyed my meal. There is parking at rear, the 1st hour is free the you need to pay. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere & there is seating in the back which has glass all around.

Lovely breakfast spot, the patio seating is very nice, and everything we tried was delicious.

We had a lovely lunch. Pizzas were delicious and well seasoned. Lots of vegetarian options which were really helpful to us. Staff members were all friendly and attentive. All in all, a great anniversary celebration!

Popped in for breakfast as was passing and had the best omelette I’ve ever tasted. Really friendly service too will definitely pop in again.

The restaurant was very busy on Saturday lunchtime and the reason for that is that the food is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and the place has a great ambiance.

The food is always amazing, the staff are so friendly and helpful too. You get all the sauces you could possibly want (for no extra charge). My favourite local spot!

I have used the restaurant many off times and love the experience with these guys every time we go. And the food was brilliant would highly recommend

Nice breakfast on bushey high street. Good quality food at decent prices

Food was tasty and generous. I particularly enjoyed the minestrone soup. Lovely clean and bright restaurant

Great cafe they have a branch in Bushey and Stanmore and both are excellent the food is first class.

This place has great food and great friendly service 👌

very good food and the service was fantastic, I suggest you visit it🫠

The Food was disgusting none if us ate anything and they would not change it The Staff were rude. The service was slow / non existent

They have stopped doing breakfast at 12.00, so will not be going there again!

The last time we visited we gave a ‘ disappointed’ review - not the case this time! The brunch menu is full of excellent choices and we enjoyed our ‘full English’ and the ‘ Mediterranean’ breakfast, accompanied by fresh coffee, it set us up for the day. The staff were attentive and friendly - we look forward to our next visit .

Visited on a Friday lunchtime for a quick lunch. Easy to park at the back. Dined in the conservation area which was spacious and comfortable. Service very helpful and plenty of choice on the menu. Prices were reasonable. My friend had pasta whilst I had a baguette. Both very good. Would recommend and will return when next in the area.

We took our grandchildren out for lunch arrived at 1pm we asked to sit in the conservatory which is nice and warm and airy. We ordered everything from a sausage sandwich with hash browns, to a pizza from a chicken panini to a full English breakfast. Everything was hot and tasty, we all enjoyed our lunch. Easy to park at the back of the restaurant.

Friendly service, good value for money. Really nice atmosphere too!

Very tasty dishes at a reasonable price. The service is at a good level. But I would call the pearl of this place outdoor pavilion, it's worth visiting here to come back again later.

Good place and very busy needs more staff to cope with the amount of customers they get... the food was good as well .

Mid morning breakfast. All staff really friendly and attentive, great range of food

We had brunch, Mediterranean break and an omelette. Hot chocolate is delicious 😋. Definitely recommend 👌

This is one of my favourite places of all time!!! The food is yum, the atmosphere is great but best of all the staff are so friendly, welcoming and courtesy. They are extremely child and family friendly. One time, the waiting staff held my baby for me whilst I ate my food. This isn't a standard part of the service but it's just one example of how lovely the staff are! I have nothing bad to say about this place and have been frequenting it for ten years now!!!

As a local easy eating restaurant to meet friends throughout the day or evening, have a good old chinwag and good food and service at reasonable prices, you can't do much better.

Excellent food and service and very reasonable price

Food was really quite good, I have had slightly better at more expensive restaurants, however taking into account value for money, good! Staff, very friendly, attentive and efficient, couldn't fault them!

Lovely cafeteria style restaurant. Nice staff. Not an over-large menu but the food tasted freshly cooked. A little expensive but I would definitely go again.

Food was really nice, as was the service. It was very busy but it was Sunday lunchtime so its not surprising.

Extremely pleasant atmosphere, clean, professional and friendly staff, very good service, we had vegetarian breakfast (also coffee and hot chocolate) which was hot and delicious. Would go again and try the main courses.

Always good for breakfast and brunch!

Great lunch we had .....halloumi wrap and veg pizza. Staff kindly let me know I could have my own veggie variations on my pizza. The chips were steaming hot and food was served very quickly. Staff were very polite and we sat in the back conservatory. Heating was just right and place is very spacious.

Very nice restraunt. 8 off use had a good meal. Service was quick and friendly. Meals were good. Recommend it as a place to visit.

Lovely restaurant. Friendly and good food. Easy parking. Would recommend

Haven't been to this branch fot some time but just enjoyed a nice lunch out with friends.Friendly staff and decent menu.

Food was fantastic but the fruit flies was something else! Massive infestation n spoilt our evening. Barracudas you really need to sort that!

Food was ok huge portions but good we came on jazz evening our waitress sang at the end so so good in French really good

A very chill and positive vibe upon entering the restaurant. The hosts/staff were welcoming. Although I ended up drinking decaffeinated americanos but I shall visit the restaurant very soon for a proper Italian meal.

Would give it a 10 star. Took my veggie work colleague. Food was simple (we veggies like it simple sometimes), hot, fresh, stayed hot and very plenty. Spinach quantity was large and delicious - not overcooked. But the best best bit were the staff. What a breath of fresh air. They were joyful, energetic, just perfectly attentive and smiling. And singing too. Prices are very reasonable too. We came away feeling relaxed, happy, soulful and singing. Thank you to your beautiful staff

very nice thanks very fresh. friendly staff

Had Date Night dinner here on Saturday night. I had the Spaghetti Bolognese which was tasty and they didn't scrimp on the portion size either 👍 I went for the Lemon Cheesecake for dessert which was nice but if I'm honest the toasted flaked almonds on the top didn't really work for me but that is purely personal preference, BF had the Apple Crumble which came with ice cream and custard - I had a little taste of that and got dessert envy so will def be having that on my next visit 🐷 The staff were all very friendly and attentive without being in your face 👏

Very nice meal and good service

Great food in Lower Bushey High Street with fabulous live music supplied by NLSNO Events & Entertainment

Always good food but service slightly slower than usual which was a bit disappointing. Otherwise always a good place to go for lunch or dinner as very reasonable

Not much options on the food since they got rid of pizza. Took ages for them to come take our order when they had taken other people's order before us. Got our order wrong so had to wait for my friends order till it was done. Went stanmore one before and it used to be good not sure if all barracuda have stopped serving pizza

I have not eaten at this restaurant before; however, the same chain were in Watrord and were excellent so, gave them a try; excellent all round and with a name change to FRATELLI in Watrord suberb.....

A little noisy with more young children than expected. Food as nice as I remembered.

Service is always amazing and the food is top notch.

Excellent service and food and reasonably priced

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I didn’t wait long for food/ drink and I could choose my own table (by the window of course). Good value too.

First time customer. Very friendly helpful staff, good food cooked well, fast efficient service. Excellent value. Enjoyed a lovely family brunch. Will definitely be back soon.

Solid breakfast in a pleasant setting.

Love it here, food is always amazing. Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and polite and I go here every week at least. Would highly recommend to anyone and their recent renovation (August 2022) has made the restaurant look lovely inside.

Excellent food and service. The outdoor pavilion in good weather has open windows for good COVID ventilation. Even in cold weather there are heat lamps.

Friendly staff who served our meal hot which made a pleasant change

Had a brilliant breakfast in new glass extension.
