We celebrated Father's day here. The Steak, Ribs, Burgers, and Fried Spicy Pickles were outstanding. The staff was very friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. Back in the day my Dad told me they had the best food in Tempe. He was very happy that that didn't change. The remodel is awesome and the decorations are something to behold. The Fleming Family

I was really surprised at the renovations in this place. The outside is really great. I do miss the old barn as I grew up here, but everything is preserved inside. It still looks great, and it is just as my dad and uncles described it. I was never able to go here because I wasn't 21 when I lived here. The interior is very fun and very retro. The staff is quite good and very helpful. Their well whiskey is Crown, so definitely serve up some shots of that! Have a great pint prices on domestics, and great food specials. The burgers are outstanding. It's quiet enough to have a business meeting upstairs for lunch, and I'm sure you can have them crank up the music downstairs.

I loved this atmosphere! Historical, everything from the old place is still there and more! Amy was our bartender, and she was amazing! Smiling, cheerful and attentive service was given to us. It was happy hour as well, which made this visit even better!!

This place is amazing! Met friends here for dinner and had never heard of it before. Family owned and operated, the food was delicious and employees were all super friendly and welcoming. Remarkable decorations all over the place and the upstairs is a sight to see! Definitely check this place out if you're in the Tempe area!

The barn is a scream with some thousand old movie props. This place has more character than any other place I know of. Top quality pizza is 1/2 the price of other premium pizza places in Tempe. I hear the burgers are excellent also.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Gorgeous patio seating, inside has fantastic wall decorations and the food is G.O.O.D.!! Love coming here after work for a beer and on the weekends for their live local bands.. I couldn't recommend this place more!

A True Gem! We highly recommend this restaurant! Minder Binder has excellent food; very high quality food with large portions served, along with very friendly staff. The trademark red barn has now been transformed on the outside to a beautifully landscaped mission style courtyard, the inside is just how we remembered it to be! Everything that was original on the walls and ceiling remain! Only the restrooms have changed; newly remodeled and super clean. The outer courtyard allows for dinning and dancing to live music. Again, we would not hesitate to eat here often; the City of Tempe has a true gem!

Minder Binder lives. It may look different on the outside, but inside is almost like it was in the 80's, only cleaned up and bigger. The volleyball courts may be gone, but the outside seating is charming with a cozy fireplace and firepits. The exterior red barn is gone, but the interior is complete with most of the interesting curiosities intact, including the stuffed horse, believe it or not. The food was great. I had the "Dances With Goats" pizza and it was scrumptious. The prices are modest, even at the bar. If you remember the old Minder Binder, going back is a MUST. This is my new favorite place.
