Very nice place. It wasn't loud and was easy to visit with our party. The food was amazing!!! Our ride took three (3) hours to and from but these folks did not let us down. It was totally worth the ride. Customer service was over the top as well. We will ride this way again!!

Food extremely good, particularly for a buffet. I enjoyed the meats, vegetables, & cobbler (didn't leave room for the salad or ice cream, but they looked good as well). My only suggestion would be for them to offer a buffet price for one-visit only. I would eat there much more often, especially with the new Sunday lunch hours, but the people I might be with, such as my wife or mother, feel money-wasteful for $8.99, $10.50, $13, or whatever the price of the day, for just one light-portion plate. I would still want the unlimited buffet, & am fine with the price, but an option such as $6.99 or $7.99 including drink would be popular. I'm sure there are others whom would agree & increase their patronage as well.

Awesome BBQ some of the best in Marshall County. For a real family type atmosphere. Some real good barbecue. Large enough to take the church crowd. Buffet style. With all kinds of goodies to make you happy. And to beat all of that. Try out there homemade ice cream. I told them I was so full. I needed a cot to sleep on. She laughed and said they rent them by the air in the back. Hillbilly tested and highly approved Barry's BBQ

Our first visit was last night. The food & service were outstanding! We had the catfish, BBQ & ribs. Our sides were macaroni and cheese, baked beans, slaw, potato salad & salads. It is a buffet, but it is served by a very friendly staff. The tender ribs & BBQ were so good! The catfish was great! The portions were large. You must try the homemade ice cream. Grapico & vanilla ice cream were so so good. Other flavors were butterfinger & cherry... there were more, but I don't remember all of them. Let me tell you...the food was so good last night that we are going back today for Sunday lunch. That never happens! I'm not sure why others have reviewed the disposable plates & utensils as a bad thing. What difference does that make? I highly recommend that you give this restaurant a try...you will not be disappointed.

Food was delicious and well worth the price especially considering it was an all you can eat buffet. The home made ice cream quickly became homemade milkshakes but no fault to the restaurant. Too many people holding the cooler open for too long. I'll definitely do it again & hope you don't so there will be room for me
