I'm basing this rating off of this particular visit. On Sundays, they have Oxtails if you get them before 1pm. I had the Oxtails over rice, Man N Cheese, and Collard Greens. It also comes with some sweet cornbread and a drink. I really enjoyed that meat falling off the bone. It's mad juicy and melts in your mouth like butter. The Mac and cheese was good, but those collards were phenomenal. I wish they gave you a bigger piece of cornbread because it's a little sweet and very desirable.

My take out order was great and that sweet tea is always on point ,Barnes has the best tea better than Carey Hilliard.

When you order two pounds of ribs, you only get nine pieces, that's not two pounds to me. Do better Barnes. And I paid $43 .

Really gotta work on that health department score. Scary stuff! If I’d seen that before I ordered online I would’ve definitely ordered somewhere else. Wanted a refund but decided to just take the food and avoid the hassle.BUT the food was good. Pork chops crispy just the way I like ‘em. Out of mashed potatoes so they gave us a baked potato instead. Pointed that out when arrived to pick up order which I appreciated very much. Didn’t want baked potato and was able to pick a different side and lady left baked potato in plate too. The sides were all tasty. Really liked the split roll too.

My family and I ate at this establishment on Saturday evening at around 6:30 pm. We were not greeted when we walked in the door and the man who finally came to seat us after 8 minutes did not speak the first word to us, which was incredibly rude to begin with. We sat at the table without being acknowledged for 20 minutes at which point a nice young lady came over stating that she wasn't our server but wanted to go ahead and help out our server so we could get our drinks. Drinks came 10 minutes later and we were back to being ignored until the same woman who wasn't our server (and whom I really hope received the tip) took our order. The first time we spoke to our server was 30 minutes later when she brought our food and asked if we needed anything. It took her almost 10 minutes to get the condiments we needed and she was extremely rude about them not having tartar sauce- like a place that serves fried seafood having tartar sauce was the most ridiculous and bothersome thing she'd been asked. We had to find our own boxes and waited over 15 minutes after we were finished eating to ask the other woman for our check. We never were spoken to by our waitress again. Meanwhile, the entire time we were eating dinner, a man kept coming from the kitchen telling (practically fussing at) the servers not to seat anybody else even though there were maybe 6 tables and the restaurant didn't close until 8 pm. I understand there may be staffing issues and they were busy with a party in the back, but acknowledgement of your patrons and a decent attitude goes a long way.

For decades it was a reliable restaurant but anymore it is difficult to patronize. Limited hours started during Covid, which seemed to carryover to being also unpredictable hours. Hilliards, which are always considered to be a competitor never has these problems.

The wife and I have frequently visited in the past on Feb. 20,2024 we stood at the door for 10 minutes waiting to be seated finally being seated we waited to be served 20 minutes later no service no drinks as a matter of fact a couple came in way after us and were served. We finally left after 40 minutes. The restraunt was not that busy. Very disappointing hope this message reaches Hugh Barnes or whom ever owns the business.

Came from Pooler Ga with family and chose this restaurant to patronize. We came in and waited long enough for us to say "where and who is our server" we all placed our order and I ordered the lunch special "served daily from 11 -3pm" ...after 2 trips back and forth to get an order accurate for my other table guest the waitress returns at 3:07 and says unfortunately my order cannot be processed because it's after 3pm. I'm flabbergasted because I'm already hangry and really only able to eat the lunch portion of what I ordered. So she turns to get the manager who also comes to say there's absolutely "nothing" that can be done because it's a corporate issue. Like really, nowhere ever have I seen an establishment not able to honor something so small but yet could have saved my perspective of what a family owned business should be about. Needless to say .. I had my mind made and my budget set to get what I wanted at this particular time but instead I sat and watched my family eat and I did not. They wanted to leave all together but instead we stayed. I know it doesn't matter to Barnes but it definitely disappointed me. Long story short be mindful of loyal customers and how you create returning customers. As Empty as the place is I would have found away to be more accommodating for a table of 4. I would've rated the food but I didn't have any; however, my nephews burger came back raw and uncooked after an extensive wait. Check your food don't want anyone to get sick. Maybe they did me a favor. Lastly, the manager Marilyn has a very unpleasant attitude. Definitely only here for a paycheck.
