I picked up dinner on my way home. Went here on a recommendation. My husband and I were not disappointed. I ordered take out. The staff was very friendly and made some great recommendations. Order was done quickly and the food was delicious. Had the baby back ribs and they were delicious. I also highly recommend the chocolate pie and cream horns. The price is pretty much what you would pay anywhere.

Always great BBQ here. Crispy fries, the meat really doesn't even need a sauce but I absolutely love their Sweet Hickory sauce! One of my wife's favorite salad. Always fresh and flavorful! The BBQ turkey adds the perfect addition.

06/08/2024 We finally made it to the Bar-B-Q Barn. It has been on our list for a while now and after an afternoon of antiquing in the area we saw that they were open and had to stop in. I decided on the Hot "Brisket" Brown plate. It is an open faced sandwich with bread, meat, mashed potatoes and brown gravy. I love Brisket, it had fantastic flavor. We shared an order of onion rings. My husband had a rack of ribs cooked perfectly, moist and tender, great flavor. He also had the potato salad which was delicious. The baked beans, neither of us a fan, too much of a ketchup flavor. Someone else may love them. We had great service. A place we will definitely revisit. Highly recommend the ribs and brisket

Very good food The coffee was awesome And The staff very helpful and friendly. I did send the hash browns back as they were still fridge cool and not a single bit was crispy. The 3 meat omelet was packed with ham, sausage and bacon very good. So we're the Belgium waffles
