This place must be the best kept secret in the area. My wife and I were passing through, and decided to eat here. The menu was full of delicious sounding options, so we tried most of the appetizers lol. Fried green tomatoes, mushrooms, … More

First time eating here and I was very impressed! First off, our waitress Tiffany was amazing! Everything we ate for late lunch on the daily special was fantastic…. Buuut, then there was THE peach cobbler! I haven’t had peach cobbler that good since the last time my grandmother made it 25+ years ago before she died! We ordered a half pan to pick up for Thanksgiving! Seriously, folks. It was seriously good! Barney’s came highly recommended and lived up to the hype! Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

Ive been to steakhouses all over the country high and low level and this was the best wagyu steak I’ve ever had. The marinate was delicious and cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be back More

This place is hard to review. If you wanted to come here after church on Sunday you would probably not be out of place. Atmosphere: would be better if not for the fact that the music is way too loud, could not even place my order with the bar keep, and way too Christian. Three tvs. One playing that garbage music. Two playing a Billy graham show… perfect for church people. I intended to stay longer and would have done so, spending more money, if not for the horrible music. I even had headphones on, as did other patrons, and couldn’t stay longer due to this. Food. I ordered fried green tomatoes. Tomatoes were undercooked, breading was decent, just barely over breaded. Seasoning was average if not slightly below average. I also ordered blackened catfish with shrimp. Basically it was a few pieces of jumbo shrimp and a few pieces of catfish fillet, you know, the prices most restaurants throw away, drowned in cheese and grease. Seasoning was very absent. Unless you consider cheese to be seasoning. Fries were inconsistently cooked, read various levels of overcooked, and over salted. Service. Barkeep was good. I’m not a fan of bars that require the bar keep to also be a waitress, but in this case the place is so slow that most of the staff wasn’t near busy anyway. Despite that, she was attentive, and efficient. Housekeeping. This alone is enough to make me reticent to come back. The bar was built poorly, with deep grooves that aren’t cleaned on a regular basis. If I were employed here I’d refuse to work the bar for this reason alone. If you do choose to eat here I would strongly recommend a table. Though admittedly, I didn’t inspect a single one on my way out. Overall. If this were a church I would give it three stars. Two deducted for the lack of hygiene and seasoning. For a bar, I think giving it one star is being generous. That might be different if I had gone to the restaurant side of the house. But it was a poor enough experience that I’ll refrain from returning. I’ll just have fast food next time and save myself about $60. Alcohol selection. Beer. Average selection. Liquor. Slightly below average selection. Scotch. Well below average selection. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 Recommendation for vegetarians Would not recommend Vegetarian options Sides. Unless you want the typical American trash can salad. Kid-friendliness I wouldn’t allow my kids here. Wheelchair accessibility Average

So got here, hostess was nice and all but sat us at a table that apparently the server had left and went home. So the bar tender/server got our drink order and appetizer but forgot to tell whoever was supposed to be our server that we were there. So, after over 20 mins, we finally placed our order, got our drinks and appetizer. We got fried pickles. The first couple I ate were decent enough actually. Then they started crumbling in my hands. They were so overdone, they were inedible. The pickle inside the batter crumbled when you broke the breading. Apparently, the table next to us agreed because on their app sampler, guess what was left on their plate? Yeah, the pickle bricks. Then when we got our check, $78 dollars for two people for decent meals, crappy appetizer and A VERY LONG WAIT ALL THE WAY AROUND. Considering this is a Saturday night and the place is so empty it echoes. Being next to a truck stop, this place should be banging and busy and just overflowing! But I now know better than to EVER step in here again. Our actual waitress was great when we got her, but waiting on someone to see if we needed the to go stuff and when we didn’t get our check with the to go and had yet another wait there, I spent more time waiting than anything else. $78 my tail. $40 of it for a 14oz steak that was 10oz fat. My dogs will at least enjoy it because my son and I won’t eat just fat. NEVER again! Another customer leaving about the same time as us said it best. It’s only a matter of time before this place closes. It’s crap. Beyond mediocre VERY EXPENSIVE food and slow, eh service, the atmosphere is just…well, nothing. It’s boring with no personality and nothing stands out about anything in there. It’s all around too much for way too little.

My Husband and I stopped in today, for the first time. At first, we were a little apprehensive because it was empty. In all fairness, it was only noon on a weekday. But, we sat down anyway and started looking over the menu. It’s a little on the pricey side for some things, but once the food came, I completely understood why. I ordered the Hamburger Steak with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Every single thing on my plate was delicious! As truck drivers, we frequent many places along our routes. 99.9% of those places, the food comes off the back of a McLane or Sysco truck…and you can tell. But when I tell you this food is the real deal, it is! The mashed potatoes still had skins. My hamburger steak wasn’t uniform. The Brussels sprouts didn’t need anything added (salt or pepper). It was divine! My Husband had the Shrimp basket. He is an even bigger skeptic than I am and NEVER finishes the food on his plate. He did this time. And that alone speaks volumes for this place! *I didn’t finish mine only because I had the VSG procedure and physically couldn’t. But I would if I could. It’ll make great leftovers for me and I can enjoy it a second time around 😊 Price per person $10–20 Food: 5
