I surprised my daughter this morning with pancakes. She said that they were better then homemade! Also the staff were very nice.

I came into town at dinner/supper time, and both my daughter and I were hungry for a meal that had a good entree with vegetables. The BBQ Barn was the only place that has that combination. Admittedly, I arrived at their place about a half hour before they closed, and I'm sure the young lady who served me was tired, but she didn't seem to make any effort to smile or greet me or show any Indication that it might be pleasant to have another person to contribute to their volume of business and thus her income. Since they were sold out of the entree I wanted, she showed no interest in suggesting another one I might enjoy. She apparently has had no customer service training or instruction on the discussion of menu items. When I asked her whether the hot dogs are all beef, she said she doesnt like or eat hot dogs so she didn't know! Does she need to like and eat every item on the menu in order to know even the most basic informon about it?! Of course not! Anyway, I asked very little after that, but the food was a good meal and I'll give them one more time to help me feel better about their service. I acknowledge that BBQ BARN clearly employs high school young people, and that's commendable, but they also need to train the. at least in the basic subtleties of food service. Even for a small restaurant, those seemingly "little things" mean the difference in customers who return and spread good words about your business and food quality vs, customers who don't return and spread the bad word about your business. One of the girls working the front line called out "Mom" to those in the back area cooking, so I realize at least one of the girls was the daughter of one of the cooks (owner?), and I had to wonder if the reason the girls didn't even talk to one another or appear to be interested in assisting each other was related to that familial connection. This little restaurant has good, well prepared food, so I hope they will work on the improvement of their training of these young people who are obviously old enough to work yet are not yet old enough to have already been trained how to present themselves and their employer's business well.

The meats were very good and a good portion size. I had the meatloaf and thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides were a bit bland, but greasy. The BBQ sandwich was also very good, and they had a variety of sauces from which to choose. There are 2 dining rooms with booths and tables with comfortable chairs. The 2nd dining area also has a TV. The BBQ Barn was not too far off the Interstate and a nice change from chain restaurants
