I had the ribs, pulled pork, and loaded fries. I liked the fries, the pulled pork was ok, but the ribs were a massive disappointment. They fell off the bone nicely, but the flavor was so bland. It tasted like as if my culinary illiterate grandmother made them for a heart patient. That and I think Carolina sauce is a far inferior compared to you Texas, KC, and Memphis sauces. Even though the pulled pork was ok, I could do better with my own sauce and a rice cooker. read more

This restaurant in Milton was awful the brisket was greasy , the Mac n cheese was cold .....no flavor to the meat

My husband, mother, and myself stopped for a Sunday lunch. We loved the atmosphere, and our waitress was great. We just ordered a few sandwich and they were made fast. The pulled pork and pulled chicken was great and very good. Loved the homemade chips, and the pickle oh yeah! We al said we would return!!! read more

Very good portions at good prices. Love the coleslaw. The corn bread is fantastic. The meat is tender with generous portions. Only negative is I'm not a big fan of tomato based sauce and they use more than I prefer. read more

We were there a few weeks ago on a dead afternoon and every bit of the meal was gross. The table was sticky even after the waitress wiped it off. Brisket was shredded for some reason, as was all of the dry and tasteless meat in our sampler platter, and so dry it was seriously hard to swallow. BBQ sauce was like ketchup. One sauce dispenser was just straight up vinegar with some floaties in it, I have no idea what was going on there. The potato salad was scooped right out of the bucket from Sam's Club and left a weird metallic aftertaste. Onion rings had raw batter and were super greasy. Like, dripping greasy. Corn fritters were so overcooked they were tasteless and had a texture as if you had sand in your teeth. Biting into them they crumbled into a mouth full of burnt corn meal. Even the sweet tea was soured. Our salads each had one tomato piece on top and both of us had an end piece with black rotten spots. The whole meal was disgusting, I didn't even want to pay for it, but we just wanted to go home and get something to eat, we were starving. We left hungry because the meal was seriously inedible and I'm not even a picky eater. Took home the meat and gave it to the dogs. They didn't mind it. Not sure how this place smells so good when we drive past it. Major let down. read more

It's simple, sub par food with sub par service. It was that way when they opened and it's been that way since. There are several other BBQ places around that put this place to shame. read more

We went Sunday after church which may have been our first mistake. We got seated right away but at a table in the middle of a busy aisleway. People were constantly bumping into us. Took forever to get server's attention and then forever to get our drinks, forever to order, forever to get our food. And it was mediocre BBQ. Won't be heading back anytime soon. read more

We walked in and we weren't greeted at all. The management, at least I think, we're the people that sat us and try barely knew what they were doing. The food was subpar and we practically had to smother our pork in sauce to get some flavor. Our server didn't even introduce herself and wasn't very personable at all. This restaurant needs to get itself together and put out some quality food and service. This was my second visit and needless to say, I won't be back. read more

The only rule I have for restaurants is if I can do it better then there is no reason to eat there. The food is totally uninspired and bland. It's really hard to mess up pulled pork but they manage to do it. All it takes for good barbecue is smoke and patience. This is bbq for people that don't eat bbq. read more

Possibly the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. The meal took an hour and a half to arrive. The brisket was plain awful, the chicken tasted like rubber and the corn smelt like hydraulic fluid, I didn't even dare try it. If I had to choose the last meal of a serial killer on death row, I would not even make them suffer through a dish from Barnyard BBQ. The poor waitress had no clue what she was doing, god bless her though at least she was friendly. If you're feeling like BBQ, do yourself a favour and go to Five Guys down the road, or literally anywhere else. read more

A big disappointment -- wish I'd read all the Yelp reviews first. Brisket was pulled, not sliced. Ribs overly-salted. All meat comes slathered in a nondescript sauce. Service was speedy but indifferent. My server should have been a caution: I asked if I should choose the smoked prime rib or the BBQ, and she said, "Well, I'm really a steak girl." read more

Terrible! Everything was burnt and/or gross. The fried green tomatoes were extremely over priced even if they had been edible.

Bad service, mediocre food, have been sick with GI symptoms ever since eating there last night.

Food is cold, meat has no flavor ( must be out of a crock pot), sides appear to be straight out of a can. Their texas toast was a slider bun that was burnt. This place isn't worth the money or the time wasted eating there. read more

Visiting family in the area and came here for dinner. I ordered the smoked duo of pork and chicken with mac and cheese, green beans, and slaw. I thought the pork was better than the chicken. The chicken was a bit dry as was the mac and cheese. I don't really get the raves about the mac and cheese. Maybe I caught it on a bad night but I didn't care for it. Good green beans and the slaw was chopped fine the way it should be. Big stringy slaw should be outlawed. My aunt got the chicken livers which I sampled and were very good. Very little breading and bits of onions. Yum. Her red skinned potato salad was very good. I preferred that to the mac and cheese side for sure. The mustard BBQ sauce was my favorite of the sauce choices. The Carolina vinegar sauce didn't do it for me as I am a huge Eastern NC BBQ fan. NC BBQ with the vinegar based sauce is best on finely chopped pork and this pork is not chopped fine but still very good. I would definitely come back here and try to save room for dessert. read more

Barnyard BBQ - Smoked duo with pork and chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Hurricane, West Virginia

See all

Ok here is my story and I am Sticking to it. I ordered the chicken liver dinner. ( I know BBQ joint, I already had their BBQ.. Not impressed.) I called in my order and the lady told me 15 minutes and it would be ready. Arrived at the rest. and I waited and waited. .. 45 minutes later and I finally complained. Their excuse was, sorry, the chicken livers were frozen. The owner I guess just brushed it off like I was suppose to be a happy customer. The price is a joke for what I waited for and received... I received 5 chicken livers and 2 very small sides for a WHOPPING $12.69. Plus I left a tip. I paid before I received the food. I will give this place a 3 rd chance and then I will review to the fullest......I really want to like this place... That is why I will try ONE MORE TIME.... read more

Great food and nice people.you don't have this type of BBQ in this area!

For a BBQ place the worst thing on the menu is the BBQ. Corn Fritters are great, anything fried is pretty good. The Barnyard Dog is good too. Wait staff is top notch read more

This place was terrible. Brisket we think is a roast thrown in a crockpot. Sides were terrible. Mac and cheese was floating in milk, mashed potatoes were cold. Beans out of a can, etc. Uggghhh save your money. I'd give it a minus if i could. read more

Called to get order for delivery. She said I have to do it online... no problem. Went to website and grub hub order form. Paid and got alert it would be 45-55 minutes. Well an hour went by and I checked on the order through the app. Said it was being prepared. 1 1/2 went by...called the restaurant the didn't even make it yet. 2 minutes later grub hub canceled my order. It was a $42 order. WTH. No one could have called?!?!? Nope just let this guy wait an hour and a half ...what BS. read more

The food this absolutely terrible. Its burnt, taste like crap, and is way overpriced. Dont expect anything different from the one in Cross Lanes either. read more

I got the combo meal, brisket and pork, with a quarter rack of ribs. Meat was tender and had a good smoky flavor,but I brought it all home with me to put Sweet Baby Ray's on it. There were 3 sauces on the table, their "house" sauce, a vinegar based one and a mustard based one. They were all awful! Sides were really good, I got collards and onion rings, and the corn fritters were great! They really need to improve on their sauces! read more

Great atmosphere, good service, and the best BBQ I've had in WV. Not a bad price for a hearty helping of swine either. Check it out if you've got a hankering for BBQ. read more

Food is not very good...The meat was dry and the sides were small...not worth the price

This was the worst BBQ place I ever visited. The sauce was so terrible that it made the meat unbearable to eat. It tasted like really rancid ketchup. Unfortunately, they slathered it on. The other two sauce options were equally unpleasing. I love BBQ and I couldn't even eat more than a few bites. To make matters worse, the sides were served cold. We should have known better when the restaurant was practically empty on a weekend and the fact our server was slow to even take our drink orders. It's too bad as the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. They should just buy pre-made sauces and scrap their house blends. Then it would be worth trying again. read more

Went here for an early dinner. Seated right away and ordered drinks, then appetizers and dinner. Appetizers were fried green tomatoes with lump crabmeat and cheese. The spicy aoli was very good. Also tried the corn fritters which were quite tasty. Both of us had ribs, which were tasty and not overly smoky, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender. The big disappointment- as others have noted- is the sauce, which is completely uninspired. It's not much more than tomato sauce with a splash of vinegar. No smoke, no heat, no flavor, no sweet. Rather than being served on the side, it's ladled on top. There are no other varieties of sauce. The ribs would have been better off without it. Not a totally bad place, but there are better options. read more

If there was a World Championship of bad BBQ, then this place would make it to the finals and leave with awards! Don't bring your taste buds here, they will not be your buds anymore! My group decided to eat at Barnyard instead of BW3's, what a mistake that was. I have worked in numerous roles in various restaurants and consider myself a authenticated, honest food and service critic. The service was bad and the food was worse. The server, as most servers who have never been trained in a good restaurant, lacked all sense of presence and dynamic necessary to facilitate an enjoyable dining experience, even when considered in the ambiance of the Barnyard BBQ. The server did not introduce their self by name, inform us of specials, suggestions, or what drinks where available. It was just, what can I get you to drink? Um, I do not know because you have not told me or suggested what is available, that was strike one! I asked for lemons and the lemons brought to the other side of the table were not the wedge style lemons designed for squeezing into tea or water, but more thinly sliced for garnishing alcohol drinks or desserts. I was unable to get lemon flavor in my tea, the entire reason I ordered tea to begin with! I was not even given a straw until I asked for one. When I asked for one the server placed more than 10 straws at once over me onto the table- that was strike 2! If you peered into the kitchen and saw the dish washing station, which I had a wide open view of from my table, then you would not drink from the plastic either. Hello, manager, get a divider so your customers don't see the wait staff, hear them talk trash or see the inner workings of the kitchen at the dish tank! If your in a BBQ joint you order the ribs right, so I ordered 1/2 slab with BBQ beans and Macaroni & Cheese. I started to steer away from ordering ribs realizing there is actually a science to making good-ass-slap your-momma BBQ and it does not magically materialize. But wait a minute, that is what this place was right, the kind of BBQ your best buddy makes the sauce for a day ahead for game-day celebrations in your backyard. Or at least that is what you might think at first. The moment of truth, my plate arrives, what a disappointment. The ribs and sides are on one plate and the sides are in side dishes that I used to serve wedge cut lemons in for drinks as a server, just to give you an idea of the portions. The ribs, which you could hardly see beneath the sauce, which did not deserve to be called BBQ sauce, were disgusting. The sauce was not tangy, sweet, spicy, tomatoe-ish, or any combination of those, the sauce was weirdly bland. The sauce in the BBQ beans tasted even worse, the only flavor was from the piece of an onion that must have accidentally fallen into the beans, because there was just one sliver. The Mac&Cheese was even bad, it had been doused in too much bread crumbs and put under neath a heat lamp for too long. The service got even worse after I choked down everything because I was someone's guest and did not want to create a huge scene. The server cleaned a dirty table right beside ours and placed a cleaning towel and spray bottle of cleaning solution on the ledge above the table next to ours in plane sight. Maybe the server should just of rolled the mop and mop bucket out, parked it next to our table and then he could have really got the party started! Bottom line, bad service and even worse food. I would be surprised if this place is open in a few more months. You could make better BBQ in a microwave from something straight out of a freezer. read more

Sides are all horrible, way overpriced and those women that own this place, well at least one of them DOES NOTHING to help servers, cooks, or customers, very poor restaurant in my opinion. read more

Last meal there was not good at all. The food was nothing special and some not even slightly good at all. We ordered a dessert and after 20 mins of waiting on it we asked the manager what was going on. She was kind of snappy and said it's busy it takes awhile and walked off. Ten mins later no dessert so we got up to go find a check and leave. Of course then it suddenly showed up. We didn't want it then but we're expected to pay for it anyway. Overall very bad service and mediocre food. read more

Waited for almost an hour. Got to table waited another 1/2 hour to get menus. Eventually left. Worst service I've ever seen!

was traveling from florida and saw this place so i stopped in to check out the Ribs. was greeted by a friendly waitress who said her name was Natalie and set us up with water and got us a beer quickly. Our ribs arrived in a timely manner and we thought they were great tasting and tender.The mac and cheese was awesome as well. Very friendly waitress she was and the place was busy and she checked on us a few times. We wont be back in this town but it was worth the price and the excellent service. read more

We tried this three times thinking it would improve as the bar was set really low the first time. We were wrong and the food continued to be terrible. We will not even go for the "kids eat free" night. The meat is only smoked 2 hours (heard from someone who worked there). read more

We enjoyed very moist pulled chicken, good brisket - neither needed sauce. A guest who joined us had a hotdog with pulled.pork on top. Interesting options, clean, and quite affordably priced. We will continue to dine at their other locations as well. read more

Why do they put that "whatever it is" red sauce on everything??? It's nasty and unnecessary!!!! Most folks will put their choice if BBQ sauces on their meats, so please do away with whatever this stuff is!!!! read more

We were greeted promptly and seated within 2 minutes. Server came immediately and welcomed us and took drink orders. When we placed our order my wife asked for the potato salad. The server cautioned my wife that a few people had commented today that potatoes were undercooked. Our food came in a reasonable time. I ordered the smoked duo for $12.99. I had the choice of two meats and two sides with a corn fritter. I chose chicken and pulled pork along with collard greens and macaroni and cheese. The highlight was the meats. Both were full of flavor and juicy. Both meats would be better without the thick house sauce. The sides were just not anything i would ever eat. The collards were dressed with a spicy vinegar and the macaroni was cold, chewy, and not very cheesy. The black oil dripping corn fritter was criminal and became the subject of my kids joke writing ability. Server was nice and attentive throughout. This would be a great place to bulk order meat for a picnic / church outing. To many negatives to come back again read more

Tried it 5 times. Never liked it. Slow service, mediocre BBQ. The fries were good though.

This was the worse dining experience I have ever experienced at a restaurant in the Charleston/Teays Valley area. Worse meal we have ever had. Ribs were overcooked and the crab cakes did not even resemble crab cakes at all, very thin and bland, the normal corn fritters were so hard we could not even bite into them and should never have been presented to customers.(The server did bring fresh) Onion rings were over cooked and grease soaked. Should have opted for McDonalds, just blew over a hundred dollars on food not fit to eat. Server did an excellent job though. read more

When this place first opened several years ago I thought it was great. Last few times I have been there it was gross. I know things can go wrong every once and a while, but not three times in a row. I will not be back. read more

Second time I went tonight, the food was sent back twice. It is expensive for just apps, and the. sauce sucks. The pizza was raw and the wings were still cold in the middle. Need a new cook............ read more

Saw an episode of "BBQ Crawl" today that featured this restaurant. Since we were heading through Charleston I thought we would stop and get some BBQ. I was disappointed. We got the barnyard sampler for two and there was certainly a large quantity of food. But I found the chicken and pulled pork to be dry. The brisket was shredded instead of sliced, but that could just be my expectation of BBQ brisket. The ribs were good, but a little too fall off the bone for me. Everything had a layer of sauce on it that I could have done without. The sides of Mac and cheese, BBQ beans, and green beans were good. We had coconut cream pie for dessert and it was delicious. The kid got the chocolate cake cow patty - think chocolate cake dipped in funnel cake batter and fried. They didn't like it. In all it was not what I was hoping for in a BBQ restaurant. Maybe it's a BBQ culture difference. We are from NC and BBQ is different there. But, that pie sure was delicious read more
