We came here to celebrate me graduating with my master's degree. I had my husband, mom, three children and their girlfriends. We had a reservation at 6:30pm. As we entered and I told the hostess we had a reservation, she looked us up and down and then got the menus and seated up. It was off with the hostess. But our waitress was awesome. We didn't have to ask for anything. We had a variety of dishes from salmon and ribeyes. Food was tasty.

I ordered the Ribeye with a baked potato and my husband ordered the grilled salmon. Both cooked perfectly. Small portions for the price. They grill over wood and the taste is great! The small biscuits were warm and soft. The salad had a Italian dressing on it that was nice. The atmosphere is really nice. Love the wood! May need to paint the ceiling or add silver tiles for bright touch and the outside of the barn is in desperate need of repair.

When I walked in, I felt like I was walking into a hunting club that was used for dancing and 4H meeting place. Felt very different from anything I am used to. Food was massive, bring your appetite and skip lunch. Service was quality as well. Something I'd go back to.

What a unique place. The food is great and the service was on point. The steaks are great but I love their shrimp. You might even get sung to if you’re lucky.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can pull right up to the door.

You could tell this place was once great, but NOT anymore! The steak would have been good if it was cooked correctly, the pieces we could eat had a good flavor and texture. Sent them back and still came back too undercooked from what was originally ordered. One steak was more than 40% gristle. The mac & cheese and desert was fantastic, but DEFINITELY not a reason to eat there for the price charged. I did not see the waitress write the order down and most dinners came out incorrect. Had to ask about a child’s menu. Only some adult menus have the child’s menu on the back. They ended up taking off our drinks and gave us 2 deserts for how bad the orders came out. We had 4 adults and 3 children - 7 in our party, all on 1 check. Website states gratuity added for 10 or more in party or parties with 5 or more separate checks. 20% gratuity was added and in no way was the service worth that amount nor should have been added per their own website. Be careful and definitely check the bill if eating here. Most of the steak was taken home so we could finish cooking before eating. This place was definitely not worth the amount paid for the food, service or atmosphere of an average of $30.00 per plate including children and taken off the drinks and deserts. If drinks and desert were included I am sure it would have exceeded $40.00 per plate. Definitely consider any place else until something changes with this restaurant. This place needs an extreme overhaul!

We had dinner at Bennies Red Barn tonight. It was our first and last trip. We love finding new places to eat in the Golden Isles. However, we called and made a reservation for 6:45. We arrived at 6:40...We were seated promptly. The hostess was very kind and personable...at 7:05, I went to see if we had a server? We had not seen one in the 20 mins we had been seated. I could understand if the restaurant was busy....it was NOT. The server, Ashley finally arrived, takes our order. We get drinks in about 10 mins, at 745 we go ask about our salads, appetizer and bread. The salads finally arrive 10 mins later. The food is delivered a little after 8pm. Sadly, the food was cold and nasty. I took my steak home to my dog. He would NOT touch it.
This was a $175 (before tip) mistake. Lesson learned.

A Comedic Tragedy at Bennie’s Red Barn:

If you're searching for an unforgettable dining experience that combines the charm of a DMV visit with the culinary finesse of a microwaved TV dinner, look no further than Bennie's Red Barn. Our recent evening there was so catastrophically bad, it deserves a sitcom spinoff.

Picture this: a reservation for 50, made well in advance, and yet the servers greeted us like we were unexpected guests at a family funeral. The first rule of Bennie’s: If you’re on the same check, sit next to each other, or face the wrath of a server with the bedside manner of a sleep-deprived cat.

After we navigated this seating Tetris, our server took our drink orders and then disappeared as if she were off to personally crush the grapes for my wine. Fifteen minutes later, I was served a warm glass of something that tasted like it had been aged in a gym sock. To top it off, there was a bonus lipstick stain on my glass. Classy touch, Bennie's. I opted for the survival tactic of wiping it off and drinking from the other side, because why not live dangerously? One guest at our table committed the cardinal sin of asking for a drink menu, however, upon receiving a look from the server that could’ve melted a glacier, he opted for a bottled Miller Lite.

Our calamari appetizer order was equally eventful. We asked for two, but the server insisted we ordered a third, probably thinking we needed more rubbery rings to throw at each other in frustration. After a heated debate that rivaled a courtroom drama, she begrudgingly took it back.
Then came the salads, which looked like they’d been used to mop up a kitchen flood. I’ve seen lettuce in better shape at the bottom of my crisper drawer after a two-week vacation.

My husband’s baked potato was supposed to come with the side of rubbery cheese and stale bacon bits everyone else received that would have been better suited as packing material, but when it was brought to her attention that yet another thing was forgotten, she rolled her eyes and informed us that the grill cook had a family emergency and she was helping him out. However, out of the goodness of whatever resides within the cavity where her heart should reside, she agreed to grace us with the toppings for which we would inevitably pay.

The pièce de résistance was my steak, ordered medium-rare but served in a state that would make a vegan weep. It was practically mooing and consisted mostly of fat and gristle.

And just when we thought it couldn't get worse, our server decided to clear plates with the grace of a linebacker, elbowing me in the face without so much as a "pardon my intrusion into your personal space."
The chaos was not limited to our end of the table. Complaints about missing food, delayed drinks, and surly service echoed throughout our party. One brave soul gave up entirely and left, having never received his meal.

In a grand finale of irony, an automatic 20% gratuity was added to our bill. If anything, Bennie's should have paid us for enduring this comedic tragedy. So, if you’re in the mood for a night of unintentional comedy and culinary mishaps, Bennie’s Red Barn is your go-to destination. Otherwise, save yourself the trouble and hit up the nearest fast-food joint. At least there, you know what you’re getting.

Do not eat at this restaurant, service is extremely rude, atmosphere is dark very dark. They keep it dark so you can’t see the food. Portions are extremely small under cooked cokes food for an outrageous price. Don’t waste your time on this place. I ended my night by throwing up in there bathroom.
