    Craving Southern comfort food? Look no further than Barnyard Chicken! Last month, a friend invited me to check out this hidden gem in Park Circle, and let me tell you--it did NOT disappoint! This cozy, rustic spot was the perfect setting for a relaxed Saturday evening, with friendly service and mouthwatering food that hit the spot. Here's what we indulged in: Sticky Wings - the perfect balance of sweet and savory Chicken Milanese - crispy, tender, and full of flavor Bacon-Wrapped Chicken - because everything's better with bacon! Garlic Noodles - a garlicky, buttery dream Collard Greens with Rutabaga - a soulful, hearty side Whipped Potatoes - creamy, smooth, and comforting And of course, we couldn't skip dessert! Banana Bread Pudding - warm, rich, and perfectly spiced Butter Tart Pie - sweet, gooey perfection We kept it light on drinks this time, but trust me, the food alone was an experience! If you're in the mood for Southern flavors done right, @barnyard.chicken is a must-visit. Who's coming with me next time?

    Gravy was basic.

    DUDE.....TRAIN YOUR WAITER!!! Lol. My man is dryer than sand paper. Idk if it was because it was close to closing but absolutely no personality. Chicken parm with thigh meat is SUPER WIEIRD!!. Chicken breast wrapped in bacon?? MEH!!! I like there sides. Garlic noodles were decent. Chicken bites were crispy and well seasoned. It's worth visiting if you want something different. Pretty small spot. I enjoyed the wings the most.

    BFC sandwich

    I was a little confused when I walked into the restaurant as there's no hostess stand or any indication where you should go, just a bunch of tables and a couple waitstaff walking around helping customers. When a waitress saw me looking bewildered she said I could sit at either the end of a high top or wait for a booth, so I chose the high top. It is a very tiny interior. Not that it matters but just be aware I'm sure it fills up quick (I went on a weekday at 1, so it was probably the end of the rush). The menu offered some intriguing options but I went with the "BFC" sandwich: fried chicken thigh with kimchi mayo, pickles, and a potato bun. I asked for two sides and they were both potatoes (I'm a glutton), whipped potatoes and fries. In all honesty the sides were the best part. The whipped potatoes had tons of butter and cream, and were silky smooth. The fries were cooked in chicken fat and had a delicious taste and a good crisp on them. The chicken sandwich itself...surprisingly mid? Not much flavor to it. It was fried perfectly and the bun was exceptional, but the chicken itself lacked flavor (i mean it IS just chicken but I want spices) and the kimchi mayo was kinda flat. It was as if they used Codfathers (right next door) frier and batter but that's where the flavor stopped. Honestly this could have just been a one-off as I've heard good things about this place, and toy should give it a shot, but I am not sure I'd go here again. My bill with tip ended up being over $30 and it was just me with a soda, sandwich, and two sides. I'd recommend either going next door or trying out someplace else in Park Circle if I'm being completely honest.

    Bfc chicken sandwich

    Amazing spot and highly recommend! BFC sandwich was delicious. Chicken was cooked perfectly, the sauce and the bun and the pickles were all excellent. I wish it was a little spicier but it was delicious nonetheless. The garlic noodles were also very tasty. Friendly staff with easy on-site ordering or take out online. Parking in the back. I wish I'd gotten the french fries, but I was full enough, next time. Definitely check this place out!

    Food was delicious and the sauced were very good! The food preparation was quick and efficient! Packaged well except for the sticky wings. They were packed in a styrofoam container while very hot and melted the packaging. Some were inedible due to that. I haven't not been to the actual establishment but I've heard great things about dining in the restaurant. 1/2 chicken with the green sauce was my favorite part! Very delicious

    We had a fantastic dinner experience at Barnyard Chicken tonight. The offerings were impressive: they had all types of chicken dishes, the tastiest sides, and fabulous desserts! We started our dinner with the soy and garlic sticky chicken wings (WOW)! I spurlged and went with the (Special) Chicken n Waffles. We also got to try the BFC Chicken Sandwich; it was a lovely portion served with awesome kimchi mayo on a potato bun! You cannot eat at Barnyard and not order Fixins; they have a fantastic assortment of sides. You MUST get the garlic noodles, the super-tasty collards, the cheddar grits, and the baked beans! Ensure you also leave room for their dessert; the Banana & Brioche Bread Pudding and Buttertart Pie were so decadent and great for sharing. I wanted to mention that the staff was SO nice and helpful with the menu. They took very good care of us and were very attentive. If you're looking for an excellent local chicken spot in North Charleston, Barnyard is your spot!

    I am going to brutally honest. The restaurant itself is cute. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. The food has a lot to be desired. The Red Wine Braised chicken (a chicken thigh) with mushrooms was very dry. The sauce had very little taste. The mushrooms were good. The garlic noodles were tasty but nothing to write home about. To me the tastiest thing was the water. In my humble opinion the price are high. A piece of chicken for $14.00 and nothing else. Then if you want something other than an entree aka a piece of chicken then you have to pay another $6.00. For the 30.00 including tip I could have gotten a decent steak dinner. I believe in giving honest reviews. The menu is very small. Not a lot of choices. I don't think I would recommend this restaurant to my friends. Must better choices to eat and spend your hard earned money. I will give this restaurant 2 Stars only because of its staff. Sorry but you can do better Barnyard Chicken

    I'm not a huge chicken fan, so knowing everything was chicken based, I was hesitant, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked every dish that was on the menu. The food Chef Eric Hara served up was egg-cellent! I don't think I would've ordered some of these based on their descriptions but I'm so glad I tried them without knowing because they were so good - even my kids would eat it! It's a laidback atmosphere with fun artwork to check out. There's also a patio area that's dog friendly. The service was great, and the waiter was attentive. There's street parking and a gravel parking lot in the back as well.

    Wow brick chicken and collard greens and slaw it was amazingly delicious
    Ziara A.

    Stopped on way to Columbia and needed a good place so using Yelp I found this gem, chicken was awesome and so was collard greens. Our server was awesome def a gem of a place

    Della L.

    Whole Visiting Charleston we decided to try dinner here and we were pleasantly surprised! Customer service was immaculate. We chose to sit outside and the seating was beautiful. We got the chicken, garlic noodles, turnips, saladand wings. Everything was a 10 out of 10 the only thing, that wasn't what we expected was the salad. It had a completely different dressing on it than what was advertised. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed it and we will definitely be back for more chicken. We will try a fried chicken sandwich next time!

    Saw this and had to stop in because I love fried chicken! This was a nice surprise! I tried the Korean fried chicken nuggets which were delicious & real chicken off the bone and not some processed chicken meat product! I really appreciated that! I also got an order of the brick chicken which was the wild card for me but I loved it. Subtle but flavorful at the same time with a side of "jush" That what I'll call it but it was good and complimented the chicken really well. This is on my way home so I will definitely try more of their menu options.

    I heard they fry the fries in chicken tallow. The waiter said beef tallow and rendered in chicken tallow. I don't know. I love garlic noodles these were cheap I didn't care for them in fact I threw them away. The fries were good the best thing I had. The chicken really didn't have any flavor. They did tried to season the batter with something bland and dull. Service was great. I want be back

    Grand opening chalkboard
    David M.

    Barnyard Chicken in Park Circle just had their grand opening today, and wow, what a debut! This small, rustic spot oozes country charm, and their food is nothing short of phenomenal. They sold out of everything this morning, so we had to come back after they reopened at 5 PM--and it was well worth the wait! I tried the Korean Fried Chicken Nuggets with Kimchi Mayo, the Brick Chicken Dip Sando, a side of fries, and the garlic noodles. Everything was PHENOMENAL. The fried chicken nuggets were hand-battered to perfection, and the flavors were simply incredible. The fries were great, but the surprise star was the garlic noodles, which I wouldn't have ordered if it weren't for our incredibly friendly server, Sandy, who also happens to be the owner's wife! Her recommendation was spot-on--these noodles are like a garlicky twist on Chinese Lo Mein, and they were absolutely delicious. They sold out of everything again during dinner, and I can see why--this place is amazing. Barnyard Chicken also offers online ordering for takeout, and they have a convenient to-go window for easy pickups. I will definitely be back--10/10!!

    This was a whole experience. We were in Charleston Saturday night through Wednesday afternoon and…read moreBertha's is only open Wednesday through Saturday til 5pm. So we took an Uber there on our way to the airport, luggage and backpacks and all. The line was to the door. Most people get their food to go but there are a handful of tables in the dining room. We parked ourselves and our bags at one by the front wall and settled in for our fried porkchops and fried chicken, lima beans, cabbage, red rice, mac and cheese, and corn bread. And while we waited for our food, one of the kitchen staff walked around passing out free frozen punch. It was good! This was the perfect choice for our last meal in Charleston. We were in and out in 45 minutes, full and satisfied. The only thing is we are still confused about pricing. We think there was an error because somehow we paid $29 for one meal and $19 for the other. Can't be right...but we didn't have time to sort all that out. Pay it forward.

    Inside a vibrant blue building is Bertha's, a soul food establishment that is not to be missed if…read moreyou are in the Charleston area. Its small, and set up cafeteria style. You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.
