I am so impressed with Barnyard Chicken. The food is EXCELLENT. As is the service. It is a cute small storefront in an older building. They play country/rock on the radio and each table has a deck of conversation cards. And the check comes inside the pages of an antique book. So the food. I had the Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast with a side of Collard Greens and Rutabaga, and and order of toast with the tomato jam (that's not on the menu, but I really wanted to try the jam so they worked that out). The chicken was perfectly cooked and very tender and juicy. The bacon was crispy and paired well with the chicken. It has fontina cheese and herbs wrapped inside and on top although I only got a hint of the herbs (for my taste I would like a bit more herbal flavor, but I tend toward flavor explosions) but on the whole it was very pleasing. The collards and rutabagas reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. They had so much flavor and a nice texture (some might say overcooked but I don't like my greens or rutabagas to crunch). My favorite was the sourdough toast with the tomato jam. The toast was excellent and crunchy. But my favorite of all was the tomato jam. Normally that comes with the chicken liver toast (they didn't have the liver today, which is fine with me, I'm not a fan of liver). My grandmother used to make a tomato jam so I was curious to see how this one was. The tomato flavor came through very well, it was sweet and tangy and you could see the pieces of tomato that held its structure. I definitely recommend that and if they canned and sold this by the jar I would definitely buy this (it's not exactly like grandma's - that's a high bar to reach and hers had pieces of lemon and orange peel and cinnamon sticks). But I think this would make a nice addition to the menu as an appetizer (maybe with cream cheese). The service was amazing. I appreciated the willingness to let me try something that wasn't on the menu. They were very accommodating (above and beyond). I will definitely recommend and send friends here. read more

Barnyard chicken is a to go place for chicken sandwich and chicken fingers. The crunchiness, flavors, and juiciness on their chicken were on point! We also ordered the collard greens but it was cooked with squash and garlic noodle were okay but the service was pretty good. The restaurant was clean and plenty of seating inside and out. read more

I've had barnyard a few times now, but the first times were takeout so I didn't get the full experience. Recently I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and got to try more of the menu. We sat by the front window and the staff was very friendly... plus the conversation cards on the table were a fun touch. For sides, we tried the garlic noodles, corn casserole, and mashed potatoes. They were all great and I would order any of them again. We did some sharing, but I had the chicken dip sando and my friend got the chicken parm platter. I love any sandwich that has a dipping sauce and this one was great, but the chicken parm was the star item on the table. For takeout or dine in, Barnyard is going to be a regular stop for me. read more

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? read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Barnyard Chicken - Wow brick chicken and collard greens and slaw it was amazingly delicious - Chicken Shop Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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!! read more

Ventured out and tried Barnyard Chicken off Park Circle. The restaurant is pretty small so not a lot of seating. There are a few tables outside so that is nice. As far as the food. I had the sticky wings and they were fabulous. They came out so nice and hot I had to let them cool off for a minute. The flavor is everything I needed it to be. I also tried the mustard greens with rutabaga. This is not something you find on a lot of menus so I had to try it. The flavor was exceptional. I just wish they weren't cooked down so much. They also had cute conversation cards on the table so you have something to do while you wait for your food. Better than everyone being on their phones. When they bring the check it's inside a little book. I thought that was a unique touch. I can't wait to go back and try more items read more

Food was fantastic, service was on point. Moroccon chicken was to die four. Garlic noodles were delicious

Learned about this spot through IG and drooled over the garlic noodles and they were just as amazing as I expected. Was not the biggest fan of the chicken sandwich. There was more batter than there was chicken, leaving the chicken with a slimy texture I couldn't choke down. Would maybe helpful to know it's beer battered and not just regular fried chicken. Definitely would like to try more menu items. read more

Yes, the prices are high, yes that is a drawback. However, the portions were nice, service was friendly, and overall everything tasted good. Limited to beer and wine, small space but cute. I'd go back, but doubt I'd make it a regular stop. read more

Very disappointing. I got the brick chicken sandwich. The chicken on the sandwich tasted like it was heated up in the microwave very bland and old tasting. It was honestly just gross. Makes me nervous that it was sitting out for a while or something. My girlfriend got the chicken Parm sandwich and it also just tasted not fresh and like it was heated in the microwave . The grits were decent but once you got through the top layer, they were very bland everything but the garlic noodles just tasted very bland in general, and the prices are very high. The fries were decent. Both of us didn't finish our food. I had high expectations, but we left very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Barnyard Chicken - Chicken Sando - Chicken Shop Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

First off let me start by saying the people that work here are super nice. My husband and I went tonight and we are huge foodies, and love trying new spots in town. We were so excited about this place, but sadly this missed the mark with us. I'm going to be honest with my review, but please go see for yourself and make your own judgment. I don't wish bad on any business. For the app we ordered Korean nuggets. These didn't have a lot of flavor and nothing seemed Korean about it. The kimchi sauce was ok, but I didn't taste any kimchi flavor in it. For mains my husband ordered the chicken sandwich with jus and it was lacking flavor. It was shredded chicken with a piece of cheese on top. And the dip didn't help sadly. I ordered the bacon wrapped breast and it was ok, but still not a lot of flavor, the mains were definitely missing something, but we couldn't put our finger on it. They both were not great but not horrible. I usually eat my left overs later and I didn't even want to touch it. But I ate my leftovers of the sides. Now to the sides!! NOODLES! These were great, if I'm in the mood for noodles I will go here and get those. Nothing fancy but really delicious! Next, we got the cream corn. This was really good, but it was missing salt or some sort of acidity. This would be great with some hot sauce! I would order this again. The ambiance is very small. And when we were eating the server was literally two to three feet behind me, it kinda felt weird and kinda hovering. I did love the dancer chick photos on the wall. Those were great! Like I said give it a go, and see for yourself. I don't wish any bad business on any, this just wasn't good for us. Charleston is a culinary mecca and this place might struggle here. read more

First time eating here. Looking for something different. Small place and not much to look at from the outside, but go on in side. Food was incredible, service was outstanding.

Got the chicken parm sandwich and fries for a lunch. Service was good. price was a little high (about $20) but i don't mind for a small local restaurant. Portions were great, it was a full sized sub and a whole bag of fries. Hate to say it but honestly the chicken was bland, sauce was bland, and fries weren't good. I think the fries were the biggest disappointment, they advertise they are fried in chicken fat but to me they taste like they are fried in cheap, overused oil. Had that "old grease" taste to them. I think they should focus on quality over quantity. read more

went here for a quick bite and got the sticky wings 12pc. the wings were smokin hot when they came out and soooo good, i'm still thinking about them. our server was also super sweet and they came out and gave every table some free homemade fries at one point too. would def recommend. laid back casual vibes. read more

our waitress was so kind and amazing in sharing the backstage of some of their food processes!

Unique and pretty tasty. I got the chicken sandwich that works like a french dip with chicken with an order of fries. We also got the garlic noodles. Our service was fantastic with our waitress being very thorough on letting us know the story of the place works. The ambiance was also very cool. I thought the place was in Park Circle but it is next to CodFather which I think now has become part of PC even though not really there. The fries were good, the sandwich was good but really did not work well. Just a mess and not worth those issues. It fell apart as you dipped it. I think I ordered wrong. The garlic noodles were fantastic and have lots of flavor. I am going to go back and try again with either those sticky wings or something not such a mess that includes the brick chicken. Everyone should try this place and make their own decision. I suggest you skip the sandwich or just plan on using a knife and fork and plenty of napkins. read more
