The theme of Barnelli's gives the restaurant a fun and upbeat atmosphere. The walls of Barnelli's feature 1930s memorabilia, and music from the '30s is played inside the restaurant. Opened in 2001, Barnelli's features a large dine-in area, a private room for parties and special events and a drive-thru. The Crystal Lake Barnelli's is located in the same building as Portillo's on Route 14.
