Review
When a restaurant has been around for nigh on 50 years, you know that they must be doing something right. Such as the case with Barnes, which serves up heaping portions of food that would probably make your cardiologist blanch, but you’ll be too busy stuffing your face to care.
The homey space is all old west dude ranch. You half expect someone named Cookie to come out and bang a pot when the vittles are ready.
The bulk of those vittles would fit right in on a chuck wagon feed line with pit fired BBQ and fried chicken acting as the centerpieces for a wide-ranging menu that also includes salads, sandwiches, burgers, and seafood (most of it fried). You know this is a downhome restaurant when you see that the sides list is longer than the menus at some foodie joints.
Is it the best BBQ in town? No. But it’s good, the prices are very reasonable (an impossible to eat in one sitting jumbo pork sandwich is $8) and the portions, as mentioned earlier, are huge so you can’t hep but leave here fat and happy.
