I'm picky about BBQ, as are most southerners, because everyone has the BBQ they grew up with to set the standard and that varies tremendously geographically! But South Carolina has the best BBQ of all the southern states when you can find the right stuff. BBQ Barn is the right stuff. They've got pulled pork with quality sauces, hash similar to what I make myself (therefore excellent), delicious southern sides, sweet (and unsweet) tea, various other meats (their burnt ends are yum!) and some desserts that look great but I haven't tried yet. They also aren't a buffet style restaurant which is a great thing in my opinion. They have a good amount of seating but I don't think they'll fit lots of large groups so keep that in mind. They do have a drive thru and you can order food to go. Unfortunately, they are also like other good BBQ places in their limited hours; they are only open Wednesday-Saturday each week so they can't be Sunday dinner or Monday emergency dinner unless you plan well ahead. The staff are nice and the restaurant is always clean enough. When we aren't making our own barbecue, we are probably getting barbecue from BBQ Barn (or the only other good bbq spot in the CSRA). read more

Delicious, warm, gracious. These are the words that come to mind when I think of BBQ Barn. I have now dined here three times. My first two visits were only 24 hours apart because it was so good. This time I experienced the same delicious food and quick service. I am impressed by the quality of the food (so fresh) and how kind everyone is here. I like to ask what they recommend, because the desserts change and the cashier was sweet and indulged my questions. I also can't speak highly enough if the sauces. I am a big fan of the spicy georgia red bbq sauce. The gold is also great, just a mustard flavor. I'm tempted to buy a bottle the next time I visit. My recommendation - Come visit on a warm day. Order a platter of food (2 meats will give you plenty of leftovers) and a slice of cake. Sit at the outside tables and enjoy. There are fans outside if it's too warm. read more

BBQ Barn - platter - brisket and pulled pork, mac and cheese, hash and rice - Barbeque Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

Always good. Fast service. Consistent, I always know what we order will taste the same as last time. No surprises. I appreciate the to go line outside being so well handled. read more

Pretty good BBQ & the burnt ends are awesome!!!! The owners need a tune up though. Hear them talking 'at' the employees.

I'm a northerner, but I know what I like and this wasn't it. We ordered a huge assortment of goodies so that we could have a taste of everything and we were really let down. The free hush puppies are dry and tasteless. The brisket was dry, overcooked, and lacked seasoning. The burnt ends were shockingly dry too despite it being pork belly and it was also somehow tasteless. The chopped pork and the pork ribs were the 2 best items that we got since they were somewhat moist, but is this place allergic to seasoning or something because everything could have used a healthy dose of s&p. They offer 4 different BBQ sauces: Mild gold, Mild Regular, Spicy Gold, and Spicy Regular. Spoiler Alert, they're all very vinegar based. The sauce is super runny without any substance to it at all and the spicy is mildly better than the non spicy version. Now onto the sides: The mac and cheese must have used the most mild of cheeses and (again) lacked seasoning, the baked beans were ok (I prefer my beans on the sweeter side,) the potato salad could have used more mustard and mayo, and the hash was delicious! We also ordered 3 desserts, banana pudding (was all whipped cream), strawberry shortcake, and Carolina mud pie (similar to a Mississippi mud pie) were also all a disappointment. The hash and the free bread that came with it were easily the best things that we got. So sad that we were hyped up for such a mediocre meal. read more

My kids said this place had good BBQ. So my expectations were high with that being said the hash and rice seem too watery and flavorless the brisket tips were good the next day. But I will give praise to the Mac and cheese. Probably the best I had from a restaurant. Since this was my first time I will give them another try. But if it's not better than this time it will be my last. read more

Paid $26.00 for bland, old and tasteless food. I got a brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. I brought a large bbq pork plate with hash and baled beans. You can also get your own bbq sauce, it was 4 of them and I only tasted vinegar and black pepper. The pork plate was very salty. The brisket did not have a smoke ring or had any smoke or grilled taste. Cook it fresh, season your food. That was a lot of money to spend to be highly disappointed. read more

BBQ barn is one of the best places to get reliable, consistent, good South Carolina BBQ. While it is not the smokiest pork butt you'll ever have, nor does it have abundant bark, it is always tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their sauce bar lets you select your desired base and spiciness level (but why would you choose anything other than spicy mustard?), and their other BBQ items, such as burnt ends, are also great. The pulled pork is by far my favorite, and they really load you up on food; one large plate is easily two meals. For sides, don't miss out on their Mac n cheese. Fries are good but nothing special, so I'd go with exploring something different! Staff are all really nice but there to get work done and aren't super interested in chatting, which is fine with me since we are there to eat, not talk! They are a popping place in north Augusta, so at peak hours there are long lines. Best to shoot for a weird time if you want to get your food immediately! Ambiance is what you'd expect from a good ole South Carolina bbq joint. Pretty simple, everything is a tad sticky, and there are the obligatory taxidermied animals in the dining room. Overall I'd say this is the best BBQ to be had in north Augusta! read more

Best brisket in the CSRA by far, best Mac and cheese and the collards were delicious!!

I have found my BBQ go to place for Augusta, GA. The experience was top notch from start to finish. This is an order at counter restaurant. We were looking at the menu trying to decide what to order when an employee approached us and helped us decided. Maybe we have the same taste in food but we were exceptionally happy with our choices. We decided to share a 4 meat platter with ribs, brisket, burnt ends, and chopped pork. I think I found hog heaven with every bite. We were so pleased with the full experience. We ordered quickly, paid quickly, seated quickly, got our food quickly, and enjoyed our meal!! If I return to Augusta, I know one of my stops will be to return here for another great meal. I hope you try this place out and if you do based on this review, I hope your experience os as epic as ours. totally fabulous dining experience! read more

The food here is really good. The bunt ends are my favorite and are good. Coming from Vegas where we have all types of bbq (Kansas City, Memphis, St. Louis, etc.), the bbq here fills the void. The people are really nice. They also have homemade desserts. I haven't tried them yet, but they look really good. Spending time in Kansas City, and eating nothing but burnt ends, the ones here remind of the ones in Kansas City. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I usually get the two meat combo. Burnt ends, ribs, side of potato salad and Mac n cheese. And the food comes with hush puppies. Which are also really good. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I'm from a barbecue desert (California) and I have experienced most barbecue styles in the native lands: Texas, Kansas City, St. Louis, etc. This is my first taste of Carolina barbecue in South Carolina. I know Carolina barbecue is pork and mustard based. I tried the "BBQ" (chopped pork), brisket, and turkey. The pork was was just not very interesting--even slightly boring. The brisket was moist but just missing something, and the turkey was as dry as the Mojave Desert. The sauces were both vinegar based. The mustard sauce was ok--a different touch to popular tomato based sauces, slightly sour with a touch of sweet and heat. The red "Georgia sauce" was just plain bad and tasted like vinegar with red food coloring. Once again I was pulled to this place based on the reviews but what I got was a disappointment. read more

We always enjoy our meals at the BBQ Barn and if the long line in the drive thru is any indication, we are not alone. We all had pulled pork and shared a piece of wonderful coconut cake. read more

I was in town visiting family. They know I have a serious BBQ addiction so they did takeout with the BBQ barn. My cousin asked for my input and he chose a pulled pork plate for me. He made a marvelous choice! The pulled pork checked all of the boxes for what I look for in pulled pork - tasty seasoning, tender and easy to chew, and mixes well with sauces. I do not know how many sauces they have but I sampled the mustard, hot mustard, vinegar, and hot vinegar. All were marvelous! I liked the hot mustard the most as it was just a solid mustard BBQ sauce with black pepper added to it. My cousin picked out Hash and rice for one of sides. I had never had it and it must be a regional thing in the Augusta area or for South Carolina. The hash was like a thick stew sitting on top of rice. I really enjoyed it. The potato salad was a solid mustard base type. I would love to visit the BBQ barn in person one day for some terrific BBQ in North Augusta. read more

BBQ Barn - Pork with potato salad and hash and rice - Barbeque Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

I've now been to BBQ barn multiple times while working close by. First I would like to say the customer service and speedy order prep is awesome! The bbq sauces they have are some of the worse I've ever had. It's almost like they are just putting something out there just to have it. I would also note that the pulled pork by itself is very flavorful and delicious! The hash and rice is almost inedible.... Dont know what they are thinking. I tried the Brisket and for the price you pay...you get such a small amount. Then it looks and tastes as if it's been stored in the juices to keep from drying out the meat. The bark is not flavorful and the meat itself is discolored on the inside as if it was sitting or kept warm all long time. I've had better brisket at buckies and that's not saying much. I think a real QC person on the staff would benefit a better product. Will not return for more. read more

I made my way today for lunch.The staff was nice ,but the food was ok.The potato salad was potato salad,The Mac and cheese was Mac and cheese.The chopped BBQ was ok a little sweet without the sauce the brisket was meat kind of mushy as if it was steamed.The hash and rice ,The hash and rice was..I used the drive through. I was disappointed but I guess that goes with the territory.I tried them years ago about 14 years ago it was better. read more

First time here..Dont know why. Foisvwas excellent. Had the pork Bbq. The ribs the brisket and half a chicken plus mac and cheese and collards for just 20.00 plus tax also tried the hash and rice pretty good 4.5 stars only because I also got desserts and to full to eat them.. I will definitely be going back as often as I can Service was on point friendly and attentive also I believe they give military discount. Overall , great place to sit down and enjoy some fabulous food. read more

BBQ Barn - 4 for 20. Sampler platter - Barbeque Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

I love the food at the BBQ Barn. They catered my daughter's wedding years ago (250 people) and they did it beautifully and professionally. We had a lot of Northerners down for the wedding and they raved about how delicious the food was. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A+ Price. A Found in North Augusta on corner of Atomic road. Looks like a farmhouse Sid rod road. Big PIG sign ...can't miss it! Atmosphere is bright cool lights and open space with lots of old sign memorabilia. Service was swift, friendly and helpful. Order at counter and they will bring your food to the table. The cashier introduced me to their NEW sweet chili BBQ sauce! Nice piquant vinegar and just right sweetness. I like it and mix it a little with their HOT sauce. I'm glad they're consistent with their 4 sauces. Mild / Hot mustard and regular. Really great sauce. Today was ordering the 1 meat and 2 sides. I just got the bbq pork and double sides of hash/rice. I like the light flavors of the smokiness and moist morsels taste of meat itself. Add sauce that works best for you. It's Nov 2021 and I don't see any Covid19 restrictions. I was the only one wearing a mask...and that's because I have a slight cough. I'm just protecting others around me. Okay...it's been years and good to be back. I'm once again a Fan! read more

The BBQ Barn is a great place to grab a delicious over the counter meal. The ambiance is old school, the wood interior speaks to a much simpler time where there weren't as many rules in dining as there are now. On this visit I was lucky to hit the Friday night special of half a rack of ribs, with two sides, collard greens and mac and cheese. The ribs were a bit fatty, but super good. This is a place that does ribs right. The collard greens we delicious with a slight vinegar crunch and the mac and cheese of course was spot on. Nice and cheesy. As an added bonus, I found about half a dozen fresh and hot, hush puppies under the rack of ribs that was a nice surprise. I'd love to go back to try some of their other items. For an old school BBQ joint this place hits the ticket just right. If you're looking for a solid meal this is it. Dig in and enjoy! Guten Appetit! read more

BBQ Barn - Barbeque Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

So as w walked in there was a disgruntled staff member dropping F-Boms on their phone about their boss sitting on the outside picnic table. Ok fine, but that goes in the office. I ordered the large brisket plate - it was not large Think they confused brisket and roast. The bbq sauces were vinegar based and the consistency of water. Overall the food tastes fine it is just not worth the price for me. Will pass next time I am in town. read more

Delicious!! I have to try the banana pudding, staff was very welcoming and polite. A must try for sure.

My first time trying BBQ Barn. I ordered the 4 meats sampler. They are definitely NOT stingy with their portions!! The ribs, chopped pork, brisket and burnt ends were all out of this world delicious. The macaroni and cheese is right out of an after church Sunday supper. I have enough food to eat for 2 more days.....but I suspect I'll be having a midnight snack just thinking about the leftovers read more

Lovely place barbeque. The food so soft and chewy and absolutely full of flavor. I asked what cashier what she recommend and I can personally tell you I wasn't disappointed.The Turkey breast sandwich with mac and cheese, hash and rice and the homemade strawberry shortcake I purchased were A+. Amazing and delicious I highly recommend coming here if you haven't yet. read more

My husband and I had went through their drive thru over the summer for the first time. The owner and staff are amazing! We enjoyed their bbq, ribs, macaroni and cheese, hash and rice plus coleslaw. My brother in law recommended their sauce and it was incredible. Rating is definitely a 10 out of 10 read more

Food was very good. Customer service was great very clean, cozy. The desserts were fun ! read more

I'm certain my $20 would have been better spent if I had just set it on fire. I ordered the two meat sampler special two meats, two sides and drink. Plus a slice of strawberry cake. The fries cold and old even though I asked for hot ones, the ribs was barely 3 bones and the driest half chicken ever. The only thing worth chewing without needing a gallon of water was the baked beans. The lemonade was sugar water with lemon juice. The cake was even dry. Now when you think SC, the south you automatically think this has got to be good food. This place serves the exact opposite. I would just keep driving by it to never stop again. read more

Best barbecue I've had in a long time! The chopped pork was incredible and the pork belly was divine. Best collared greens and coleslaw ever. My first visit on a day trip to Augusta. Will make it a regular event. I can see why the drive through line was a dozen cars long by the time we left. Btw, best ice tea too!!! read more

This is one of the only BBQ restaurants where I've seen Burnt Ends served and they are AMAZING! These are pork burnt ends (not brisket) but succulent with crispy edges and a fantastic sauce! Definitely worth going out of your way to get these. Oh, the deserts here are killer too. read more

BBQ Barn - Pork Burnt Ends. Absolutely Amazing! - Barbeque Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

Hit or miss. On some visits the food was on point and on others it wasn't. Haven't been back since.

Jody was out on July 2 at noon working the car line orders. The line was not too long. I imagine it will get longer as people get off for the long weekend. They had everything. Ribs, chicken and pork were what we bought, in bulk. Also tried sides of Mac n cheese, potato salad, slaw, and green beans. Soft golden bread and various milder sauces added to my order gratis. Also picked up 2 strawberry shortcakes and 2 classic chocolate cakes, by the slice. My thoughts? Everything was very delicious-ribs juicy and flavorful. Chicken and pork solid and not too salty. This Q is done right and if you use their sauces in moderation as a condiment and don't drown the meat, you will be in for a real treat. Sides are all basic and consistent. Bread was fantastic. Desserts are a must. And value. It was $80 for all that food. Packaged very well for the car. We have enough so that this Fourth, Daddy won't have to work hard at the smoker or grill, and for that I am grateful! Thanks Jody! Will definitely be back to sample more items. read more

Great Bar-B-Q! We like to eat there, but most of the time we purchase a couple lbs. of BBQ and a pint of hash and bring it home. We get several good meals from what we buy. read more

Except for the chicken, everything else was great. BBQ sauce needs work, kinda thin, needs more flavor.

Great bbq. and great owners! My wife and I eat here at least once a week; always good and always consistent quality! Highly recommend!

Saturday evening dilemma... What to eat for dinner?! BBQ was the collective call. A quick Yelp search and we came across BBQ Barn; so BBQ Barn it was! Super polite and friendly staff. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. I was craving brisket so it didn't take me too long to zero in on the Brisket plate. I decided on the small plate because it came with 1-side and I wasn't looking to over-eat. Not even 10-minutes passed before they were calling my order number. The owner brought over my small brisket plate and because of my over enthusiasm to sample authentic southern style brisket, I failed to snap a picture... So yes, my small plate picture that I posted looks a little incomplete; I completely spaced on taking a picture of it after it was brought over to me. The brisket was good, well seasoned and tender. I had about 4-slices of brisket on my plate, 3 of the 4-slices were very moist and flavorful. Only 1-slice was not as moist as the other 3-slices, as it was about 6:15pm I just chalked that up to being late in the day and it's impossible to have smoked brisket remain super moist throughout the day. For my small brisket plate and small beverage, my meal was under $16. An incredible deal for authentic southern BBQ... I would highly recommend BBQ Barn, you won't be disappointed! read more

BBQ Barn is a good bbq joint. It is nothing fancy. Good selections of meats and sides. Prices are excellent. They have a drive through, pick up and eat in business. Served in styfoam and plastic utensils. Have to get your own drink. Have to get your own sauces. Area to sit in is clean and basic. We also cleaned up the table and discarded trash. If you want fancy, I don't recommend. If you want good bbq this is the place. For this visit had pork, chicken, baked beans and potato salad with sweet tea. read more
