I recently wrote a review of HUDDLE HOUSE in BARNWELL…read more HUDDLE HOUSE in BARNWELL is my go to place if I'm feeling down, they always give you a lift very accommodating I had only frequented the HUDDLE HOUSE in HAMPTON 1 x before last Sunday. It was simply a matter of convenience, because my grocery stores are in Hampton. On Sundays in this area restaurant availability is limited many restaurant. Do you shut down on Sundays. I was at the grocery store, decided to go into that huddle house because it was closer. I WALKED OUT WITHOUT ORDERING To begin with when I got there, parking was very limited. There was major police activity taking over most of the parking lot to the left side of the building. I went inside with that greeted by anyone as I am when I go into the Barnwell location. I seeded myself I am mediately look for the $5.95 menu. IT WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. There was only one waitress after several minutes of her, not even acknowledging my existence. I tried to get her attention to ask about the menu. She wouldn't answer me. I then asked one of the cooks, who also ignored me find the second cooking for me they do not have a $5.95 menu. Again, for convenience, I would've stayed there and eaten set for the fact the waitress continue to ignore me 15 minutes past. I finally told the waitress can I at least have a cup of coffee? In a snarly, sarcastic tone, she told me to wait a minute she was the only one there Give me that there really are no other nearby restaurants on Sunday morning to only have one waitress. you need to question staffing policies. do you only have one nasty waitress on Sunday morning is unforgivable. I waited another 10 minutes no waitress no coffee didn't even know where the waitress was . I got up and walked over to wear her station is and she was wrapping utensils and napkins and putting them in plastic bags. I asked her again about my coffee and was sarcastically told to just sit down and she would get to me she was busy. I went and sat down. I was not waiting much longer at this point however, there was an elderly couple, walked in. The waitress knew them. She addressed the gentleman by name and ask if he's like coffee and got his coffee. Soon after a large group of family group that took up three tables came in and again she this time she knew the woman's name as asked if she and her husband would have a coffee and what would the kids like to drink? my understand if this point I've been there, over 20 minutes she wouldn't even acknowledge my existence. I got out and left. The food at huddle house is superior and I wanted huddle house for breakfast so I drove over 40 minutes back to Barnwell I walked into HUDDLE HOUSE in BARNWELL I was met Dana's beautiful smile and warm welcome I drink iced coffee they don't serve iced coffee but I get ice and coffee soon as I walked in dealing with wanted to know if I want to buy ice in my coffee what would I like for breakfast this morning, Dana asked if she handed me the $5.95 menu (who won the Hampton location does not have) This is within five minutes of my entering the restaurant In my haste to leave the Hampton Huddle house I left behind my prescription sunglasses. It was a long way back to Hampton, but I wouldn't go in there even to get my sunglasses. I have been treated so badly. I was sharing my experience in that restaurant with Dana the family at the next table chimed in. THEY LIVE IN HAMPTON 40 MILES AWAY THEY CAME TO A BARNWELL FOR BREAKFAST BECAUSE OF BETTER SERVICE NICER WAITRESSES AN OVERALL FAMILY ATMOSPHERE, UNLIKE THE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AT THE HAMPTON LOCATION I also shared with DANA the fact that I left my sunglasses behind. That's how I came to know the people at the next table were from Hampton. They took my address and said they were gonna stop by there to see if my glasses were there. they took my address and said they would mail them to me, I have not received them. ADDING INSULT TO INJURY I did call the corporate office of huddle house to report my experience, and also to tell if my glasses were left behind. I was told within 3 to 5 business days that a representative from the corporate office would be getting in touch with me know whenever has reached out to me. It's amazing houses and wonderful restaurant could be so opposite PLEASE FREQUENT THE BARNWELL HUDDLE HOUSE AND ASK FOR DANA RUN DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM HUDDLE HOUSE IN HAMPTON HORRIBLE PLACE

Tasted like they were pre-made. Loaded potato skins: 6/10. These weren't bad! Lots of cheese and bacon bits. Hot wings: 9/10. Definitely the best thing we ordered for the night. Not too mild, not too hot. They have lots of hot flavor for wings if you want a little extra spice. Honey mustard wings: 5/10. Not my favorite, but super saucy, which I enjoy. Would I go back? Definitely for wing night!!

The eggplant was easily the standout appetizer for the table and something I would absolutely recommend ordering. It was our favorite by far. The only reason this lands at four stars instead of five is that one of our friends ordered the Archer burger and wasn't too impressed since it came out a bit soggy. Everything else was solid though and I'd definitely come back, especially for the apps.

I had the catfish dinner with collard greens and loaded baked potatoe. The two large filets were perfectly cooked and the collards were very good too. Not cooked all day, but very tender. Even the stems were tender. The only detractor was that they are currently in a temporary location, so not on the water. But the food and service offset that temporary issue. My wife had Grilled Grouper. She enjoyed her meal too. The Fried Green Tomato Appetizer was probably the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, large meaty texture slices. They were mouth watering. It is always great when a restaurant is proud of their health score and will post it in a highly visible spot. Their "A" rating is right there on the door when you enter the establishment. Keep up the great food & service "The Lakehouse". I would love to return once you are back on the lake. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Next, the staff. They were exceptionally nice. Friendly, polite, courteous and helpful. Absolutely 5 stars. The food. We ordered the fried pickle appetizer, a shrimp dinner and the special, a 5oz fried grouper sandwich. The pickles came out fresh, hot, nicely cooked in a perfect coating. Came with ranch dressing. Would totally order them again. 5 stars as they were perfect. The shrimp dinner was also very good. Nice portion of again... perfectly coated, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side of coleslaw was fine. No rating as it was neutral. The fries, the side we chose, were ok. The usual frozen crinkle cut fries. They were hot and cooked well. But frozen makes them a 3 star. I personally was not a fan of the hush puppies as I'm typically not anyway. My partner said they were delicious. Going by her enjoyment, 3.5 stars. The grouper sandwich special. Presentation was good. Good bun, fresh leaf lettuce and fresh cut tomato. The fish was again, nicely coated. Unfortunately, it came out dry. A little tough to chew. My partner tried it and said the same thing. Fortunately, the great server offered to have a new one made for me. I really didn't want it so she replaced it with their fried shrimp! No headache. No nasty looks or comments. Just a server that wanted to make sure we had a good dining experience. She did. The bill arrived and the food prices were good. Taxes are a bit high but no fault of the place. We were disappointed to see a service charge of 3% for CC fee. Typical nowadays but still never happy to see it. Overall this is a place that I would absolutely recommend and if ever passing through here again, we will stop and eat here. 4.75 stars.
