Our Story

Susann Briggs and Nancy Irick-Briggs opened their first restaurant and winery in Winnsboro in 2005. The Lou Viney Restaurant and Winery became a fast success with wines they created and fine food. The Barrel House on Market Street followed in 2017. Once again, they created an atmosphere and menu that their followers fell in love with. It became a true gathering place for the Winnsboro community and another success story for Susann and Nancy. The growth of the restaurant found them looking for a new location with more seating and a larger kitchen. They found an old mill just a few blocks away and saw great potential. After months of planning and intense renovation, their dream became a reality.

What our customers are saying

We were on vacation from Dallas where I’m familiar with the gluten free offerings in my area. I was worried a small town wouldn’t have many options or be very accommodating, and oh my I’m so glad I was wrong! I was beyond excited when I opened the menu to find (GS) all over the place! The food was wonderful and we loved every thing we had: fresh pork rinds, glazed chicken with mashed potatoes and bacon Brussels sprouts, wings and sweet potato fries. Service was great and the table next to us was very fun to chat with. If you’re gluten sensitive this restaurant is a must!

My wife and I went there today for lunch, and it was very good. Our waiter, Will, was very polite and friendly. He has excellent knowledge of the menu, and we both ended up ordering the chicken fried steak. The chips with queso and salsa were also very tasty and fresh. I also had the smoked old fashioned, and I absolutely loved it. The flavors from everything was above what we expected. Awesome environment, and a very nice patio area, too. It’s very rare for me to give five stars, but this place earned my respect. We will definitely be back.

So good! Glad I discovered on recent visit to area. Casual spot with plenty of patio and outdoor seating. Full bar with hip cocktails and great wine. Food is also excellent. We had burgers and beef taco salad. Super fresh and very yummy. I will be back to experience live music!!

JD Johns

Absolutely love the atmosphere inside, out on the covered patio, and the outer uncovered patio. I had the pork rinds to start with the jalapeno sauce. Awesome. Beware, enough for at least 3 people. Followed it up with the chicken fried steak (good amount of gravy and seasoning), mashed potatoes and green beans. Yuengling on tap so, yes please. Caramel cheesecake to go, super rich, which I like. Certainly will be back.

Prime Rib Friday. Amazing. Was done perfectly medium rare, great smoked flavor. Garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus were great sides as well. The bread pudding was a little disappointing, too dense and dry, but the salted caramel cheesecake got rave reviews from the whole table. Will definitely be back.
