    I'm glad there's a Buona near me now. I went during their soft opening and grand opening, yes I love this place that much. I like the fact you can order on the kiosk and grab a number and they will bring you your food. The staff I encountered were all very friendly and came around to make sure we were doing okay. I ordered an Italian Beef, fries, and the beef bites. I absolutely enjoy the beef bites every time I get them. The Italian Beef hits every time. You can customize your sandwich with cheese, how you want it dipped, peppers, there's so many ways to get it. I also had a milkshake. The place is new so it is clean and organized. I will be back for sure to try some other things.

    Service was super quick! The food (classical Italian beef was juicy) fries were hot and fresh. The beef bites are to die for. The space d bright with natural light of the sun and the large hanging orange lights. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back. Good food

    Super friendly staff. Less busy than Portillos and I think the Italian Beef tastes just as good.

    Buona Beef brings a solid beef into town. Portillo's has been consistently bad lately and they have lost our family's business.

    Everything was excellent, cashier was friendly. My Italian beef combo was perfect. I will come again when in the area.

    Wanted to wash my hands in the bathroom and the sink is broken... handle comes off. Good thing I…read morehad hand sanitizer with me. (Looks like someone else commented about the sink a month ago... still broken) The signs on the window are all handwritten and the decor is very basic but the floors and tables are nice and the place is very clean! They do have a high chair available to use. I wish they had a fountain drink machine. You have to buy cans. The prices are decent for what you get. There is only one table that has more than one seat. There are four two seater tables which you can probably push together and seating by the bar. The guy who took our order says this place has been open for about six months (Feb 2023?) I ordered the Philly Steak Sandwich. It was pretty good, I did not care for the bread... I bet it would taste better if the bread was toasted. I would order something else next time. My husband ordered the lemon pepper wings... he says they are the best wings he has ever had (and he eats a lot of wings) he just wishes they had blue cheese dipping sauce as an option... he says he is not a fan of ranch but this ranch was still very good. If we are in the area again we may stop in and dine here again!

    I stopped by Klyo's today for lunch. I'd read my fellow Yelper's reviews and am always happy to…read moretry a new burger place. The interior is small with only a couple tables. No menu on the walls, just a couple of paper menus. I had a Rocket Burger combo which is a cheeseburger and fries. I was underwhelmed. The burger was a little too peppery for my taste, but the bun was nice and the fries were fine. Once you've in the restaurant there's no art or advertising on the walls so you could be anywhere. The two people working seemed nice. I didn't enjoy it enough to want to return.

    Always hits the spot! We used to frequent their old restaurant across the way and now that they've…read moreopened up their new location we had to check it out. The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac! You wont regret anything you try but those are defnitely our favorites. Oh and the ribs, if you're looking for the incredible smokey juicy flavor look no further. Any of their bbq sauces are great and pair well, but we highly recommend giving their original a go because of the perfect balance of sweet, savory, with a bit of a kick.

For the cost of the meals I feel it should be a better presentation. The chicken was just okay. Nothing special. The collard greens were overly seasoned. Very salty. Not edible. The macaroni and cheese had a horrible taste. Hard to explain but it didn't taste like cheese at all. Not edible either. The corn muffin was the only thing that was actually good. I could have saved over $20 by just ordering the muffins. The staff were very friendly. The place looked like a cafeteria. Not what I expected for the food prices. I cannot recommend this place and will never good back. Good luck Big Ed's BBQ. I truly wish you success.

    We had dinner at Barnwood at Great Wolf Lodge, and overall it was a good experience. The food was…read moregood, and our server provided friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. There were a few issues with our order. We accidentally received two orders of spinach dip as an appetizer, the chicken wings arrived cold and had to be remade, and my husband's chicken sandwich was forgotten and didn't come out until the rest of us had nearly finished eating. To the restaurant's credit, our server handled everything professionally, kept us updated, and removed several items from our bill to make things right. Aside from the cold wings, the food was very good. While the meal wasn't perfect, the excellent customer service made a big difference, and we appreciated how the staff resolved the issues.

    Needs a complete overhaul. This GWL location is one of the more updated, but Barnwood is laughably…read morebad. Understaffed, one server for the whole restaurant. Even during slow times, service was horrendous. Bar is understocked. Could only make one mojito, didn't have the ingredients for a second. Children's portions are minuscule for the price. Was served very undercooked chicken. Thankfully I cut my chicken sandwiches in half before eating, and even in the dim lighting saw that it was not cooked through. Wasn't offered a different option... I called after the fact because I was told there was no manager to speak with and that someone would call me the next day. After about an hour on hold I got an empathetic manager who was able to give us some credits on our stay... but you couldn't pay me to eat there again.
