Description

Polished decor, live music and frequently praised, attentive servers make this casino-adjacent eatery appealing — but experiences vary widely. Some diners rave about starters, breads and friendly staff, while others report overcooked or greasy mains, soggy desserts, tiny sides and overpriced bills. A stated business-casual dress code is rarely enforced, and casino noise can intrude. Book for atmosphere or a night out, but temper expectations on consistency and value.

Visiting Charlottesville, great local place! Live music, scrumptious food, and great service! Not too pricey and very delicious. Corn fritters and honey butter were absolutely amazing! Make sure to ask for their onion ring sauce/dip!!!!

This was our first visit to Barnyard BBQ. We were celebrating his 28 days od sobriety. We ordered the platter for 2, it had four meats, 4 sides and 4 corn fritters with butter. We opted for the collard greens, Mac n cheese, baked beans and potato salad...not bad. I really enjoyed the Brisket

I don't get the terrible reviews. We stopped and had a great meal. Ribs, crab cakes, cole slaw, sweet potato fries, hush puppies, green beans, and peanut butter pie. All of it was super good. We couldn't stop remarking on how good it was during the meal. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we passed through on the way to Lewisburg.

Great food! Very well priced. I ordered a burger that was prepared perfectly and so juicy. The building has a lot of old wood from antique houses, so it gives the restaurant a unique smell, much like an old barn. Not horrible, many would appreciate it. You go nose blind in minutes, so nothing that will turn you off. The wait staff was very friendly and personable. As this was my first time, I can not comment on everything, but definitely will be back to try more.

OMG. This place needs to stop serving this food. Picked up half rack ribs, pound of brisket, red potato salad, cole slaw, bread pudding, lemon pie on June 30, 2019. $35 later and feel ripped off. Ribs served wet. But so over cooked inedible. Brisket served in a cup with half inch of grease. See photo. Stringy, tough and in a cup! A travesty calling that slop brisket. The sides were microscopic in size. Maybe a half cup if my measurements generous. Coleslaw was minced not shredded. Bread pudding disgusting, provided cold with container of so called chocolate sauce the color and texture of brown gravy. Lemon pie had a soggy crust, soggy! No genuine lemon flavor. Why did I eat here when yelp gave it three stars? Near my hotel, hungry for Q. But dint waste your money. Go to Golden Corral where their is no expectation and save your money! A W Coldspring, Tx
