You could add your own bbq sauce provided at the table. The fries were good, the cornbread was really good, and the potato salad was "meh" according to my wife. Service was respectable and ambiance was fun but also gave the feeling of quality.

Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.

Aaron was so kind and helpful while planning our reception. All of the food was amazing, especially the Mac-n-cheese! Our guests have been telling us for weeks how good all the food was! The food was there on time, they set it up, the staff did a great job manning the buffet, and they packed up the leftovers when dinner was done! Out of all the places we taste-tested, Blue Barn BBQ was our favorite, and very affordable! It just so happened to work out that our favorite place was also the cheapest. The food did not taste or look cheap at all though! The quality of food for the price was super! They give a great portion of food, we had plenty of leftovers even after all our guests were full! We would highly recommend Blue Barn BBQ to anyone, especially if you're looking to cater for a large group! We will definitely be stopping by again the next time we're in town!!

The flatbread is huge--at least two meals' worth--as are the salads. Beer's available in full pours, half pours, and flights, so it's easy to sample a few in one sitting. And don't miss the specials--especially inventive soups. There's plenty of seating options, too--a nice patio, bar stools, and a couple rooms full of tables and booths. Cheers!

This property is enormous, and I imagine it would be a really great place for a family reunion or…read moregathering! There is ample space inside and out, and it's all very open and clean, though the inside dining areas are separated into large rooms, which I think would help with noise control when it's busy. We visited around 7:45 on a Friday evening in August and found it remarkably not crowded, but they have another location in Cedar Falls that probably draws a larger crowd. We were at the Waterloo location, which probably caters to a lot of business people and business travelers during the week. We ordered a lot of food for two people, and it was all excellent, but I rate this cool place four stars because all the food came out of the kitchen at once and we were totally overwhelmed. If it had been paced, I think we could have pulled it off, and as travelers, we couldn't really take leftovers with us to have another day. Our server was extremely helpful and patient helping me understand their beverage selections. I enjoy a good cocktail or a glass of good wine, but my beer tastes are even more limited, but SingleSpeed offered up the perfect solution: the SingleSpeed-a-rita. This is made with their Ring Around the Gose, tequila, agave, and lime juice. That hit the spot on a hot Friday night in Iowa!

On 4/17/2025 about 5 minutes ago (9:15pm) I went to their establishment to order food. I have eaten…read morethere before and it was good. Tonight I didn't even get to order. Looking at the menu board I decided to go with a Ohilly Double Cheeseburger in a combo. $13.99 + $4 to make it a combo. Upon ringing it up a very rude man told me it was going to be over $23! Asking why I was informed that the prices changed and that taped to the cashier opening (and also one behind the counter) were the accurate prices and it was $15.99 + the combo price. He was very condescending like we the public should know what we can't see. So looking at the menu taped to the glass I went with a single Philly Cheeseburger combo as it was priced at $12.99 + combo price. ($16.99 + $1.02tax =$18.01) The counter person told me it was $20.57!?!? Again asking how he said because he went by the menu listed behind the counter which only he can see and that it didn't matter that he just told me the ontaoed in view was right, because it wasn't. I recommend only shopping there if you want to play guess the price with your money and be treated like an intellectually inferior individual. Neighborhood Mart s cheaper on EVERYTHING (including alcohol- $2 more at independence) and the service is far and away better

I chose this restaurant based on its great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. When I walked in to pick up my order, the employee assembling my food wiped her gloved hands on her pants before continuing to prepare my meal. She also used those same gloves, which were covered in food and sauce, to bag my order. The outside of the takeout containers and bag was greasy, and after seeing how my food was handled, I couldn't get past it. I only ate a few bites before losing my appetite. I also got the pita chips, but they were extremely dark and tasted like old oil, as if they had been overcooked or fried more than once. We had been driving all day and were passing through, so I was really looking forward to a good meal. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and honestly grossed out. I hope the restaurant takes food handling and quality control more seriously because the reviews led me to expect a much better experience.
