    Garbage... pure garbage!!!

    First of all I got there and there's a hostess stand and no hostess, but a chalk board inviting me to the bar area. There was no one in the bar area. A walked the entire restaurant and had to go in the back to find someone. Told to sit in the bar area. I Ordered a steak medium, mash potatoes, the Brussels sprouts (the family fav) and some grilled shrimp. The steak (ribeye) wasn't just an awful cut of meat, super fatty and waaaay over cooked. It was oily/greasy too. I mean this thing must have been cooked in the left over breakfast grease or something. The mash was served cold... and it was tasteless. The Brussels were an attempt at boiled cabbage or something like it. They were gross to say the least. And to top all that off, the grilled shrimp had some legs and shells on them but were served on the plate ready to eat. This was the worst plate of food I have had in a very very long time. And I'm a truck driver and practically eat out of dumpsters. At this point I'm seriously just hoping I don't get food poison. And I'm not joking, not even for a second. DO YOURSELF A FAVORE AND PASS THIS PLACE BY. IF WERE LUCKY THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS. I MEAN WAFFLE HOUSE WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE DISGUSTING FOOD SERVED HERE. And just a note. The price for my ribeye, mash, Brussels and shrimp was a wapping $50 dollars! The employees kids were running all over and to the owner if you're reading this... SHOVE THAT FKNIN DOORBELL RIGHT UP YOUR ASS! Have a nice day!

    Chicken Alfredo

    Discovered Barney's while driving from the Shrine to Chattanooga and looking for a late lunch. Great stop - friendly service, delicious food. We enjoyed the fried pickles, daily special - pork chop, chicken Alfredo, Stromboli steak sandwich, patty melt, and Avocado Bacon Burger. The standouts were the Avocado Bacon Burger and Stromboli Steak sandwich. The burger was double patty with a good mix of flavors. The Stromboli had this onion mushroom gravy that was pure comfort food with a thick hamburger steak and buttered toasted bun. Both burger and sandwich were huge portions. The fries were delicious. We're happy we stopped and would come back if we're ever in the area again.

    Catfish and shrimp

    This place is hard to review. If you wanted to come here after church on Sunday you would probably not be out of place. Atmosphere: would be better if not for the fact that the music is way too loud, could not even place my order with the bar keep, and way too Christian. Three tvs. One playing that garbage music. Two playing a Billy graham show... perfect for church people. I intended to stay longer and would have done so, spending more money, if not for the horrible music. I even had headphones on, as did other patrons, and couldn't stay longer due to this. Food. I ordered fried green tomatoes. Tomatoes were undercooked, breading was decent, just barely over breaded. Seasoning was average if not slightly below average. I also ordered blackened catfish with shrimp. Basically it was a few pieces of jumbo shrimp and a few pieces of catfish fillet, you know, the prices most restaurants throw away, drowned in cheese and grease. Seasoning was very absent. Unless you consider cheese to be seasoning. Fries were inconsistently cooked, read various levels of overcooked, and over salted. Service. Barkeep was good. I'm not a fan of bars that require the bar keep to also be a waitress, but in this case the place is so slow that most of the staff wasn't near busy anyway. Despite that, she was attentive, and efficient. Housekeeping. This alone is enough to make me reticent to come back. The bar was built poorly, with deep grooves that aren't cleaned on a regular basis. If I were employed here I'd refuse to work the bar for this reason alone. If you do choose to eat here I would strongly recommend a table. Though admittedly, I didn't inspect a single one on my way out. Overall. If this were a church I would give it three stars. Two deducted for the lack of hygiene and seasoning. For a bar, I think giving it one star is being generous. That might be different if I had gone to the restaurant side of the house. But it was a poor enough experience that I'll refrain from returning. I'll just have fast food next time and save myself about $60. Alcohol selection. Beer. Average selection. Liquor. Slightly below average selection. Scotch. Well below average selection.

    I had their wings and a side salad which tasted delicious. I would definitely go back the service was ok and the restrooms were very clean

    Break down of bill

    We were sat immediately seeing as on a Saturday night there were only 4 tables being used and three people at the bar. Now, being next to a truckstop and knowing that truckers spend enough time eating fast food they'd love a restaurant nearby, you'd expect it to be busy and crawling other people. Nope. It was so empty we echoed. The restaurant itself is very plain, no personality, the cable for their tvs wasn't working so don't expect games playing while you are there either. We were sat at a table that no longer had a server, so the girl behind the bar got our drink order and supposedly put in an app order. Then we sat there....and sat...and sat. 20 or more minutes later, Finally, our actual server came over, had no idea what our drinks were and then put in our app and took our food order. The fried pickles were so overdone, they literally crumbled, and I don't mean the outside. The pickle itself crumbled. But, the few I dug out that weren't overdone were actually good. The flavor of the batter was good as well. The "wagyu" steak was $40 for 14oz of pure fat. My son who eats everything pushed it away and I'll be giving it to the dogs. If that was a wagyu steak I'll kiss your foot! So after we finished, we waited and waited and waited some more for them to finally offer us to go plates, but when they were brought out the check didn't come with them. I stood up put on my sweatshirt and gathered my stuff up, hoping it would signal the fact we were ready to go. Nope. We finally had to ask for it when the new girl in training came by. Then $78 for mediocrity all around. VERY SLOW service (even at dead empty), being forgotten, terrible steak, good country fried chicken though. I overheard another customer who only got dessert say it best "it won't be long before they close too. The was terrible." I feel ya, my guy. I'm surprised they're open this long if this is what it is. DONT GO!! You'll get better food at Waffle House or Applebees even, than here.

Everyone was super friendly, shout out to our server Brandon. Friendly and willing to engage in my favorite activity (small talk!) lol. To the food. I have an extensive list of food allergies and intolerances. So I will always review a place where I can find a good meal and not get sick or worse. I had the burger po'boy and it was great! Perfect ratio of burger to bread. The fries were pretty standard Sysco fair but I like their seasoned fries so all good. Hubs had the catfish lunch meal and he enjoyed it. Ordered the boy the crab cake meal and he loved it. Also got the 4 sides option as part of our to-go order - gumbo, red beans & rice, jambalaya, and etouffee. I hate soupy rice & beans, so I was happy to see that these were done right. They also tasted great. I wasn't able to try the other items (pesky seafood allergy) but they also looked good and smelled delicious. Definitely see us making a day trip in the future to eat here again.

We did not know there was a pub crawl for St Patty's day happening on the day of our reservation. We were the first to be seated in the restaurant since it opened at 5:00. Once we sat down we found out there was a limited dinner menu. The waitress took our drink order right away, but it took 20 minutes for the drinks to be delivered. While waiting for the drinks the waitress took our food order, took our food a good 40 minutes to be served after we ordered. The waitress told us our food was delayed because one item was burned in the oven and had to be remade. When we finally got our order one of the entrees was cold and the other was luke warm. We had ordered both entrees medium, but they were also over cooked. I understand they were busy with the pub crawl, but that should not have impacted their service as much as we experienced. What really disappointed me that the restaurant did not make us aware of the limited dinner menu and that they also were hosting a pub crawl when we made reservations. We could have made a decision to cancel the reservation before we traveled to the restaurant I hope the owners of this restaurant will plan better in the future and make their patrons aware of special circumstances affecting the menu. All I know is that I will not be returning.
