Our Guestbook
“ Back again but this time only two of us. Had the chicken and ribs combo with beans. The chicken was still very flavorful but the ribs stood out this time as really meaty! The BBQ sauce and brown sauce (gravy) were great. Friendly service is still the standout at this place. ”
“ Super friendly service, love the old school feel inside. Killer food!! Hubby and I shared the hot beef sandwich, fries and onion rings. Plenty of food! Waitress was so kind and sweet. Absolutely will be back! ”
“ A Barney's visit never disappoints. We ordered our favorite Hot Open Face Turkey sandwiches with the brown sauce. One with fries and the other with coleslaw. We also love the red sauce. The brown sauce just can't be duplicated, trust me, I have tried! Always super friendly staff and very clean inside. ”
“ The staff are nice and the prices are reasonable. I love the vibe of this restaurant. And I love ribs. ”
“ I sometimes get this chicken strips and fries. Their burgers are what they're known for. They're chilly is the bomb. Can I obviously that tells something about their beef because the beef is in the chili. ”
“ Excellent ribs! We've been coming here for over 60 years!!! Yes the prices have gone up but totally worth it!! Anna is a wonderful server! People need to keep supporting it!!! ”
“ Barney's staple of Concord. I have been coming here for 40 yrs. The food is amazing, you know when you walk in it's going to be fantastic. Yes have prices gone up of course they have. Along with everything in this world. Does the price meet the food YES! The service is great, we seem to always go on Ana's night. The cooks are also great. Thank you to everyone that works their butts off here at Barney's. I can't wait to one day take my grandkids. ”
“ If I'm being honest, the amount of times I have driven on Clayton Road, I never knew this place was ever here. One of my managers stumbled across this location and told us that their beef sandwich was bomb. So of course we had to go there and check it out - LOL! It is very much mom and pop owned and its super nostalgic. Greeted by a super sweet waitress who let us sit anywhere. She was super quick and practical when it came to ordering as well as refilling our drinks. My coworker order the beef sandwich and I order the ribs plate with french fries and a side of coleslaw. I tried a piece of my coworkers sandwich and it was honestly bomb like my manager said, definitely will be ordering that again along with their new red BBQ sauce. Their ribs were really good, but I do believe that it could be better. I love to clean a rib bone and it was a little hard to clean the bone because the back bone at the end of the rib was way to hard. Don't get me wrong, the rib was still tender, but having the whole ribs tender is a SUPER plus for me when eating them. I will say, that their new RED BBQ SAUCE is a game changer and I would eat everything with it. Other than that, I would for sure come back for more and see what else they have to offer. Like I always say, do not knock it till you try it. ”
