The Red Barn - Pretty cool interior, very rustic looking, barn - American Near Me - Demopolis, Alabama

Love this place! Food is always delicious and service is great also. The fried catfish and shrimp combo is our favorite, we order it everytime but friends have ordered different things and it's always delicious. read more

No customer service. My husband ordered a medium ribeye...came out rare. Waitress took it back to kitchen and came out medium rare. All she wanted to do was take it back to the kitchen again! I should have asked for manager as they'd I'd not offer any compensation. This was not a cheap restaurant. My ribs were good as well as the sides and bread. This could have been handled different. read more

Haven't been here in a long time. Was very disappointed. Seated quickly. Prompt service initially. Then pretty much ignored. Ordered an appetizer and drink. Then a meal after receiving drink. Got my salad first. Had barely started it when my appetizer and meal arrived at same time. Good I ordered a glass of water as well because nobody ever came to check on getting me another drink. Fried shrimp and baked potato very average. Fried dill pickles were good just don't understand why they came with my shrimp. Won't be back. read more

Food good if you could get it to table hot? Service seems to be a problem? Plenty of help just help would rather talk than take care of customers? read more

Best $20.98 meal for ambience, service, flavor and variety. I had the Salmon and it was delicious. The salad bar is not huge but perfect with a nice variety. I sampled the homemade vegetable barley soup (why not?) and it had very good flavor. I wish I had not ate so much to have tried the blackberry cobbler....next time! I will definitely be back my next trip to Demopolis! Thank you Ms Edna for a unique gem! read more

I've been here a couple of times while traveling and the food is on point! My ribeye was cooked perfectly and I can't wait until my next visit! read more

Great food, large portions, friendly & efficient servers. Some of the best fried chicken livers you'll ever have. Definitely merits repeat visits. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went here with my parents 2011. The food was wonderful, lovely ambience, great staff-it was a most enjoyable experience! What I remember most, is the yeast rolls they served-they were so good! I even asked for more of them! read more

I simply enjoyed this place! Is an old red barn, wooden floors, walls and ceiling. Hunting trophies through out. Very rustic! Lots of fun antiques to look at. Very inviting and friendly staff. The upstairs is a bar with pool tables. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was precious! 45 years of service. We ordered the pork chops recommended highly and I know why! They were fantastic!! Two huge portions with baked potato and salad bar! Then we ordered fried catfish, onion ring and salad bar. The portions are huge, you won't leave hungry! The catfish was good but hands down the pork chops were by far the star of our table! Just a note: there are signs of you pay with cash you get 4% discount. We did but didn't get the discount. But we didn't remind them at check out. If you're in the area definitely go! read more

Never disappointed here, good food and service. Wish they would bring back salad bar with pickled watermelon rinds, they were one of main reasons I came. read more

Service was excellent, food was good. I don't usually order seafood this far from the gulf, but the fried crab claws were very good and the portions were large. read more

I am really happy with this stop. Had the 14oz ribeye and it was perfect. Waitress was polite and quick. If I'm ever around here again this will be the destination. Very good. read more

My favorite spot! Friendly staff and the bar is amazing!! Will continue be a customer!!! Food is always great.

Had a great meal and experience here yesterday. Our server was prompt and attentive, checked on us regularly after taking our drink and meal orders. Food arrived hot and cooked as ordered, was delicious and the ambiance was great. If your in Demopolis I'd say this restaurant is a must. read more

Better than it looks. But food was too salty. No draft beer either. Only bottles. But very nice staff

Our steak and shrimp were cooked and spiced up perfectly! Our waitress was very attentive while being VERY busy. We will definitely come back! read more

Another visit to the Red Barn! It's been almost a year since my last visit and I have been dreaming about enjoying their fried pickles, again. Like most know, the Red Barn is a staple restaurant in Demopolis. I cannot say I have ventured out much on their menu. However, between my father, my cousin, my son and my fiancé, we have tried a large portion of it. I got my son a hamburger with homemade chips. Little did I know, I would be eating those instead of my baked potato. They are thinly sliced potatoes, fried perfectly and the seasoning.....well, let's just say.....I want to know what it is because it is good!!! My staple is always the filet and baked potato. Again, steak cooked perfect and tender. My cousin always gets the shrimp cocktail and my father also got an order with a salad (salad bar). My fiancé got the ribeye steak and enjoy it too! Last night I asked my cousin when they opened and he couldn't remember. But also said, he had been coming here for well over 30 years. It's always comforting to support a business with owners on site, a friendly staff who recognizes you and good food. Now for anyone who has issues with rustic, and I mean rustic dining.......it might not be the place for you. The sink in the bathroom dates back....and shows its age. Even for a clean freak like myself, I just think it adds to the charm of the place. As we say, it is what it is........ read more

We went on Friday the 13th it was bad luck We went to eat the catfish but there was no cole slaw or hush puppies The choice of sondes was a baked potatoe or French fried rice and gravy or broccoli Any other sides were $2.50 each But when southern customers eat fish slaw and hush puppies go along The prices on the online menu and the menu at the restaurant were $5.00 more expensive Not cheap but just wanted a southern meal catfish cole slaw and hush puppies They did offer a salad bar which was small Would not recommend but would go back if menu changes Heard the fish was very good Dell Mitchell read more

Compared to a regular steak and seafood restaurant this place is not very good. The prices seemed average for a steakhouse. USDA choice beef 16 oz rib-eye was 22.95. I decided to try the grouper, broiled. The fish arrived swimming in a plate of butter, it was pretty much what i expected with a lot more butter. The thing that keeps this place from being three stars in my opinion is the soup and salad bar. Each dinner includes unlimited soup and salad bar. I guess it is just the appearance of the salad bar that threw me off. Also the soup bar is just a home style crock pot sitting on a table. The side choice i got was the brown rice with gravy. The rice was good, your typical wild rice blend, and the gravy was OK . . . dark brown out of a jar. This place also has a bar upstairs that I did not check out. Perhaps this place would be better if I was just coming for drinks, however in Demopolis you don't really have much of a selection for restaurants. read more

Sat at the bar. Great service, great music, and I highly recommend the Ribeye!! Bartender is the best in the entire south US! :)

Loved this place! We were passing thru and decided to stop. Home cooking at its finest! We had the onion rings for an appetizer which were great! I had the grilled chicken salad and my husband had the cheeseburger which he stated "this is the best meat I've ever had". Service was the best! Highly recommend if your in town!!! read more

The Red Barn - Grilled chicken salad - American Near Me - Demopolis, Alabama

Large servings. Service, clean atmosphere. 10/10 highly recommend. All around great place.

Not off to a good start!!! I ask for the steamed veggies and I'm told all they have is broccoli. Server tells me to look at the back of the menu where it says STEAMED VEGGIES with a picture of steamed veggies!!! Then she Tells me it's not her fault! When did this become an appropriate way to speak to a guest?? Salad bar is this restaurants shining item!! While the lettuce was a little wilted the pickles, pickled okra, and beets were really good as usual! The time between ordering and actually having anyone check on us was ridiculous! We finished our salads, a woman grabbed the empty plates but never spoke to us, and our server didn't return till she brought our food! Now to the food itself.... served fresh and hot! Steak that my husband had was cooked perfectly and had a nice smoky flavor!! My catfish was cooked to perfection!!! The rolls were warm and nice also! So now if this restaurant could improve on service and menu accuracy it would be a much better overall experience!!! read more

Coming from California, this was a major culture shock in terms of how unhealthy (but delicious) the food is. Service was great, food is really good (steak was undercooked, hence 4) but overall good experience. If I ate here every week though, I would have a heart attack by 35, so much butter. read more

Nice little steak house. Good cuts of meat and great service. You cant beat Alabama prices. We had a wait on Wednesday night which always bodes well.. The old barn setting was pretty cool, right down to the un-level tables. We had the steaks and they were monster! If you are into red meat, this is your place in Demopolis! read more

The decor is a bit funny but goes with the barn theme-- cow skin table cloths :) The prices are reasonable, I got a delicious 10 oz ribeye, which was tender and had great flavor. You can choose your side (I got a baked potatoe that was good!) and you also get the soup and salad bar with dinner. Good value. The sweet/buttery buns given with dinner was delicious too. read more

Had dinner at the Red Barn last night and then stopped upstairs for a nightcap. Dinner was good - grilled chicken breast with steamed vegetables and the salad bar. Pretty quiet upstairs in the bar (it was almost 9pm when I got there), a good pour on the drinks and good conversation. This is a regular stop for me each time I am in Demopolis. read more

Fun atmosphere, good service, food was good. Steaks are probably better than the seafood. Try the fried pickles...Enough said.

This place is a great little bar/restaurant! There grilled shrimp were amazing and their fried pickles were large portions and delicious. Definitely if you're in the area, come here for lunch or dinner!! read more

We ate here twice on a business trip, everyone said how great it was. Was not impressed. Especially since we gave it a second try, and it was probably worse that time. eat at the bbq place up the road or jacks - those are the only two good places in Demopolis. read more

I used to be a regular. The service has gone way down hill. My last three out of four trips, no one refilled our drinks. No apology either. They didn't care. My last trip I brought it up to the manager who just shrugged us off and gave us one free tea. The food here is only decent. I'll never go back. read more

The fact they do not take credit cards makes it unattractive for me. I had been eating at Red Barn for about 10 years. Who carries cash or checks anymore? Will not be back. read more

I went there with my son on a Saturday night. We arrived about nine they seated us and we ordered the surf an turf said they were out of 10 oz ribeye so we ordered the 14 oz. salad bar was not very clean baked potato was very brown. Steak came out almost raw and grilled shrimp were almost raw we sent the steak back but still wasn't right. They really seemed to be rushing us out then we were over changed for our meal. I have been wanting to eat here for a long time I was really disappointed. Won't go again! read more

They were out of the two things we tried to order , fried green tomatoes and fried chicken. We both got crab cakes , I took 2 bites and cold not eat anymore. Not good at all !!! Baked potato was cold would not even melt butter . Restrooms are horrible, no privacy at all . Would never go back read more

Despite the fact that I grew up within 30 minutes of this restaurant, and heard FOREVER how good it was, I only last week made a point of trying the Red Barn for dinner. My party of five arrived in the early evening on a Thursday and were seated immediately. While the decor could be a bit too rustic to some, my family found it charming. Even more to their liking was the large menu and even larger portions. A sampling of the items we ordered includs grilled tuna, ribeye steaks, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp. Each of us raved about our food, and we all were fans of the unlimited salad and soup bar. We topped off the meal with a pair of blackberry cobblers a la mode (shared among the group). While I wouldn't say the prices were cheap, I do feel the portion size made the cost of the meal more than fair. Overall, I would say the Red Barn is worth a visit for anyone in the area or those passing through. read more

The food is decent. But the whole place could use a good cleaning. I had to point out the filthy front door to one of the staff members after noticing it time and time again on visits there. Seemed to Never get cleaned. Definitely NOT what you want to see when you enter a resturant. If the tables set any more crooked, the plates would slide off. Probably the best place to eat in Demopolis, so it pulls in quite a crowd. Unless you arrive early you will have to wait as seating is limited. So, Next time you are waiting in the doorway, check and see if they cleaned the door. read more

Stopped here while traveling through Demopolis. No wait on a Saturday night was nice. All the staff was very friendly! My baked potato was huge! My boyfriend has the quail and thought it was the best ever. Great portions, service and price. We will be back next time we are passing through town! read more

nice county atmosphere, the shrimp weren't bad considering i'm from the coast!

We made a special trip from Montgomery based on a search for a good steak. The ribeye was good but not something special. The salad bar was not that great. The atmosphere was not as expected. Maybe I just had too much of an expectation based on previous reviews. read more
