Being from the Philly area, we honestly don't have a ton of really good, authentic Korean BBQ…read moreoptions around here. I'm so tired of the fake k-pot style bbq....I've eaten authentic Korean BBQ in KOREA, in Vegas, my mom's house ;), NYC Koreatown, Annandale/Northern VA, and plenty of other places over the years, so I'm probably a little harder to impress than most when it comes to Korean food. That said -- this place in Exton is legit. I drive about 40 minutes just to come here, and there are plenty of restaurants much closer to me. That alone probably says enough. The meat is consistently fresh and good quality, the banchan actually tastes like Korean banchan should, and the whole meal just feels authentic rather than some watered-down version of Korean BBQ made for people who have never had the real thing. The flavors, marinades, side dishes and overall experience remind me of the Korean food I grew up eating and the places I've eaten at in Korea. That's hard to find around the Philly suburbs. Open late like good kbbq spots are supposed to, good drinks, not fancy, but authentic. What brings me back to my childhood - stainless steel thin metal bowls, cups, water out of a jug, absolutely nail the combination of quality, authenticity, and price. There is a reason I'll drive 40 minutes each way when I'm craving Korean BBQ instead of just picking somewhere closer. If you know Korean food, you'll appreciate this place. If you don't know Korean food yet, this is a pretty damn good place to start.

They were able to accommodate solo dining like myself which was fantastic, although it wasn't busy when I went. The quality of the BBQ meats were better than I expected. The side dishes were amazing as well, really enjoyed the pickled radish. I also had fried rice cakes and gyoza which came out very crispy and fresh. I think my favorite two of the meats were definitely the Kalbi marinated steak and spicy pork belly as both had lots of flavor and were very tender. Was surprised to see a great KBBQ spot in this area of PA.

We ordered to go ribs, bbq chicken and sides-mac and cheese, baked beans, Cole slaw and potato salad. We also ordered the hush puppies. Overall, we like the food and would be back for more. The ribs were tender but a bit short on smoke. The chicken legs and were delicious with the meat falling from the bone but still moist. The hush puppies were tasty and not. heavy but I like them just a bit larger for a smaller crust to middle ratio. The Mac and cheese , as another Yelper has mentioned, was GREAT- the pasta was not overcooked, the sauce was smooth, and there were crunchy bits of topping. The Cole slaw was our least favorite, a bit too soupy and the beans were good but the beans themselves were a bit mushy. The best side for one of us was the potato salad which tasted like HIS mom's so of course that one topped the list. We did takeout but there was plenty of seating in the adjacent dining room.

My husband and I looked for the best BBQ places in the area and landed on The BBQ Barn. A small and cute little barn sits in the corner of the plaza (on the right of Target). We ordered chicken and rib dinners with an extra pulled pork sandwich (we ordered way too much but needed to try it all!!). Dinner plates come with Cole slaw, a dinner roll, potatoes, and a whoopie pie. There is seating outside. We both agreed that the chicken may have been the best we have ever had. It was seasoned so well and perfectly cooked. The ribs came with bbq sauce on the side. There was a line, but service was quick and efficient. The grills are right in front and you can see the cooking happening! Inside the barn, I could see them rolling out fresh pretzels. They also had homemade root beer, which was very good! After we finished eating, I couldn't help but grab a vanilla ice cream cone to share with my dogs. They agree too, best soft serve ice cream we have ever had. Since getting home, we have already talked about how we need to plan a trip back to Lancaster to get more BBQ and explore the area a bit longer.

Drive to the Target just west of the American Music Theatre and head to the far east side of the Target, driving back around the side of the building and the restaurant will be on your right. Watch for small signs directing you to the BBQ Barn. Review: Very good pulled pork sandwiches with lots of meat for a very reasonable price. Full meal is a great deal that includes three small grilled red potatoes, a small coleslaw, roll, whoopie pie, and drink for $12.50-$14.00 depending on your meat and beverage choice. They sell "homemade" root beer that I tried and it was good and tasted like the original drove in A&W root beer except it lacked carbonation. We had a sandwich plus one full meal for about $20 and left a small tip. Note that this is a casual place with outdoor seating only, similar to a food truck. Thankfully the picnic table seating is mostly in the shade. I do recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner and noticed local Amish eating there while we had lunch. today.

Updating my 10 year old review…read more The soccer facility I played at moved, so I'm not here as often, and am definitely not closing the bar any longer. I do work in the area and we come for lunch and happy hour regularly. It's a minute from the Target, Lowe's, BJs shopping center and has a nice private lot. It's changed a bit in the last decade. They got rid of the 2 pool tables and now have more seating in the dining room. There is a full bar in this area as well, tho often closed unless it's really busy. What hasn't changed? The food is still tasty. Great smoked meats and amazing lunch specials during the week. They also do a great job hiring good servers here, efficient and personable. I think Marissa is the only server I've known long term, but Audrey waited on us today and was absolutely wonderful. Be sure to mention to her how much you love Audrey Hepburn, might score you a drink! The lunch specials are amazing. So amazing I don't even want to mention them because it already gets busy. The wings on Tuesday are too notch, second only to the burger deal in Thursdays. And if you like ribs head in on Wednesday.
