What Samuel L doesn't like about Barney's Hickory Pit:
2 years ago we tried the New Barney 's after the new staff took it over. The brown sauce that Barney 's was famous for no longer tasted like it did at the original Barney 's . It tasted like somebody added instant mashed potato mix to it! But....... Maybe after reading so many of the positive comments we might give it another go. Maybe. I hope they got from Barney himself or Rod, or their children the original recipe to restore the brown sauce to its original deliciousness not like instant mashed potatoes!. What Mike G likes about Barney's Hickory Pit:
Barney's was excellent! I had lunch with some long-time friends Keith, Wiston, Greg, and Pat. It was a great time catching up and sharing some laughs after so many years. Kid-friendly: You can eat with your hands. View all feedback.

Barney's, once a beloved local treasure, faces a divide among diners. While long-time patrons fondly recall its mouthwatering ribs and cozy atmosphere, new encounters reveal a shift in quality. Some dishes, like frozen chicken tenders, and mediocre steaks leave diners searching for the flavorful brown sauce of yore. Yet, amidst the critiques, there are still glowing endorsements of the famed ribs and pleasant service. This restaurant, rich in history and family ties, may be at a crossroads, as loyal customers hope for a return to its former glory while others leave with unmet expectations.
