Solid menu and the food is good. The service is good, the staff is friendly. I would have given 5 stars but it wasn't amazing food, just good. read more

Been enjoying having lunches back at Barrows. Particularly enjoying their chili and salad combination. I've also had the liver and onions which is always a favorite. Service is always top-notch with reasonable prices. read more

I have been a frequent customer of this restaurant since 2008. When I worked an evening shift for several years, this was my go-to spot for dinner since they were always open until 11-12 ish at night. Over the years, I have not had one bad experience- the food is always consistently good, the staff is always super friendly and welcoming and it's just a really good vibe visiting this restaurant. The menu is quite large with breakfast, lunch and dinner items along with some Mexican food items and they had a great salad bar ( which hopefully returns after Covid). The restaurant is always spotlessly clean and there is ample parking! This is a restaurant I really recommend because there is something for everyone, really good prices, super friendly staff & owners and it's kid friendly. One of Sonora's best kept secrets (unless you're a local!) read more

Very quick service, served a table of 8 in under 30 minutes we all had our food. the food was great & the restaurant was super clean and quiet. read more

Barrow's is outstanding. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. This is the place. Great food and great service. Try the Benedict for breakfast or any of their burgers for lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

I love this diner The staff is always so sweet and upbeat. Food is good and they have larger portions. They offer veteran discounts and different deals daily. read more

If you want the best experience, go sit in Sarah's area, super friendly, super attentive. The front

Absolutely fantastic. We were passing through and found this place for a quick breakfast off the road. It was immediately obvious this place runs like a well-oiled machine--the staff was communicating and buzzing around, helping each other. What was expected to be off-the-truck "diner fare" was, instead, homemade and delicious--thoughtfully prepared and it came out super fast. Our waitress always absolutely delightful. read more

Amazing food and service!!! I got the garden burger, sweet potato fries, and cornbread, and my bf got the ribs. We loved it. Thank you! read more

Best costumer service!! First timer here and the staff was very friendly. The staff was very welcoming. They gave me a new order when I told them it had a hair in it. The food was very priced but overall the food is very good. Definitely recommend if you want to eat delicious food. read more

The pick up was the quickest since all the Covid stuff started. I personally love their breakfast, but the chicken pot pie is a close second. The prices are cheap & the customer service is always friendly. read more

Good food, service was wonderful food came out hot and quick.Huge menu had a hard time deciding on what to eat. Would eat here again.

Mediocre brown and white unhealthy food that some people like when it is cheap and portions large. It is what it is. Servers are nice.

Worst meal ever - not even sure it was beef on the patty melt - dripping grease - could not eat -

Our waitress was awesome! She even brought us a fly swatter when a pesky fly just wouldn't leave us alone. My crab cake benedict was wonderful! The eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise sauce was rich, the crab cakes were tasty and the tomato slice was thick enough to support load (tomato slice instead of English muffin). I'll be looking for reasons to go back! read more

Food is amazing!! so delicious. i recommend the new pancake tacos for breakfast. (chocolate pie for dessert)! service is so friendly too!

Comfort food, loved the meatloaf senior menu, the kids and spouse loved their hamburger s and pancakes. The servers were great and quick, thank you read more

The food is not very good here. I thought it would be ok. The place was busy. It seems like a senior hangout. The chicken was overcooked and not edible. The burger patties are thin and tough. The burger didn't have any flavor. Pancakes are just ok. They were nothing special and Walmart pancakes are better. The French toast has no cinnamon or flavor. The only thing good was baked potato and toasted bread. Eggs were ok. It also took over a hour to get our food. Even applebees is better. I feel like I wasted 40.00 . The only real plus was the waitress was really good. read more

This is sad and I hate I have to do this. I used to eat here as a child and have many great memories here. Last time I was here, was horrible. The turkey is not the way it used to be. It used to be a real chicken breast, now it's a processed piece of meat reminiscent of a Swanson or banquet tv dinner but everybody else had ok food, so you would think it would be 3 stars right? No. Everyone I ate with got food poisoning the night after. Very sad and I'm very sorry to write this but it's the truth. It's the only place myself and the 2 people I ate with have ate together all week. It was here. Hopefully they clean up there act because this once was the place to eat in town. read more

The best part of this restaurant is the wait staff. The employees here are always so kind and the service is fantastic. Breakfast here is their specialty. One of my favorite places to get breakfast in the county. Try their Build A Breakfast menu, to get exactly what you want for breakfast. read more

We're from Mariposa, and try to eat here every time we come over. I don't know why the wait staff is always so nice. They're so busy, you'd think they'd be stressed and cranky, but they never are! There's a lot of variety to their menu. I love the Chinese Chicken Salad, and they make the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Prices are reasonable, the food is good quality, and we always end up taking at least half of it home. Plus, they serve beer and wine, in case you want a glass or a pint with your meal. We've been here at least half a dozen times now, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend! read more

Hmmmm. They were very nice, hence the second star, but, I mean, if I die I WILL come back from the grave and take that star back with me to the very gates of wherever it is I end up and that star and I will spend and eternity together thinking back on this, possibly my last meal. Some of the food was good. Okay, the burger. The burger was good. The bacon was cooked to perfection and was a thicker piece than some restaurants give. So, perhaps, had my husband and I ordered differently, this would be a 4 star review. However, the tri tip that I ordered medium rare and received blue af and off colored in places makes me worry about how I'm going to be spending the next several hours of my life. My husband excitedly ordered the taco salad and found it to be very underwhelming. The flavors were bland and there was a thin liquid soaking into the bottom of the shell. The rice I received was very over cooked, or perhaps under cooked, as it was crunchy in an unenjoyable way. The beans were also bland. But the chili relleno was delicious. The carrot cake was very good, however, and the restrooms were clean, but the men's room sink didn't work and that only adds to the health concerns I'm harboring. Oh. And the fries. They tasted like they had been sitting and were not freshly made. read more

I want to preface this with The fact that I am no picky eater. I love food. I love burgers. Burgers are easy to make. I just had a burger from Barrow's and it is a definite contender for worst cheeseburger I've ever had. Overcooked, no seasoning, no sauce, no flavor... it had bacon but the most prominent flavor was the prominent water from the tomato and lettuce. The fries were cold and soggy and this isn't a delivery issue. This happens when you put old hot fries in those closed to go containers.... the fries end up steaming and end up bad. This is my first time eating from this place. I hope this was just an off meal or night because the lack of quality control is astounding. read more

Stopped in for breakfast about a year ago and was pleasantly surprised. Food is good, service is friendly. Was expecting a Denneys like experience, but this was a cut above. It has become our go to place for breakfast or lunch locally. read more

Ordered a strawberry lemonade to start, and WOW! Delicious looking, and, tasted great! The sugar ring added at the top was pretty cool as well. I ordered the stuffed hash brown with my eggs over medium well, and bacon, and it was delicious as well. The service was timely, and the environment was pleasant. I was greeted as I walked in and took a seat, and the employees welcomed me cheerfully. The servers are always on point here and the food is always just right. read more

Consistently blown away by how far this restaurant has gone down hill since switching from Perkos to Barrows. I grew up going here with my family, I went to after-show get togethers with my high school theater group there. The last three times I have gone in person as a visibly pregnant teenager waitresses were rude and condescending. Most recently I started ordering from them off DoorDash because I was no longer comfortable with coming in person to the establishment. Every time I have received a DoorDash order from Barrows, it is always messed up, and they are always an item missing something, etc. The last time I had ordered they quite literally did not include a chicken fried steak in the chicken fried steak and eggs plate. Management is stuck-up, and if you plan on coming back and actually offering them any business, just don't even bother. It seems five star service is only available for tourists. read more

Great food & great service. Really make you feel like family. The restaurant is clean & has cute decorations. I love eating here.

I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews. I love the meatloaf with mushrooms and gravy on top. Tonight I had veggies, sweet potato fries and cornbread. They have an extensive menu with a whole bunch of American comfort food - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also deliver, you could call them directly and they'll have someone come by, however if you prefer to doordash, they are on there too. Staff is very nice and attentive. read more

Ordered veggie crepe - disappointed. For the price, $10.99, they could have included another crepe - 99% mushroom with two leaves of spinach. Fruit was fresh but not totally ripe, a few grapes or even a sliced strawberry would have been nice. Clean and friendly staff. read more

Once again I came to this great place for my Sunday morning breakfast and I'm still in love with those Biscuits and Gravy. And of course it's always a pleasure seeing those beautiful smiles on all the staffs faces. They are amazing people and I'm sure if My Dad was here to enjoy a breakfast with me sometime than I'm sure He would appreciate that beautiful "Antique Beauty Queen" server. She is a hoot !!! LOL . They are all Gems . Thank you all for your service as well. We are all veterans because we all fight that daily spiritual battle of "life" in whatever work we do. ALL PEOPLE IN ALL COUNTRIES. Not just military either. Whether you are on the "front lines" or "in the rear with the gear" WE ALL SERVE. GOD BLESS US "WE THE PEOPLE" AND THE WORLD, THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND. AMEN read more

The service is friendly and you get exactly what you order!! They have a delicious double cheeseburger! Thanks for keeping it smiling and happy in here y'all!! Great job read more

Food was delicious. They were very busy for breakfast but we got a table and the food arrived in no time. Definitely would go again.

Why bother. Said they were open to 10pm, but when we went on a Saturday Night at 8:30 we were offered a cold sandwich or desert. The pies in the case also did not look appetizing. We left never to return. If they do not want our business, we will be happy to find someplace that does. BTW, Applebee's was delicious and really open to 10:00. read more

Great food quantity and quality, served by the best trained servers in the business. Decor is family style, very comfortable, apparently tuned for mellow kinds of diners. Many repeat guests. read more

Excellent diner! Everything we ordered was delicious, and it's a great place for kids. Service was friendly and attentive. Strong recommend.

Okay, so this is still Perko's. Whiteboard inside says owners just changed to the family name. The only difference is that they give you only one menu instead of wheeling in a library to go through. Big improvement. I give it three stars as it's not bad, but not great. read more

So besides a few people who don't like it, if you ever ate at a Perkos (and enjoyed it) then you'll like Barrows. It's basicly a Perkos, well it actually used to be one. The owner decided to keep the Perkos franchise for his other locations, however since they've personally owned this location for over 30+ years, they decided to drop the Perkos name for their own last name instead. So yeah, it's a diner; but it has some pretty great breakfast choices all the way to their bone in ribeye. I personally love it. read more
