Love the chicken here. Always good service. A place out of another time when things were more simple and everyone is your neighbor.

Waiter was kind of rude, but the food was pretty descent. I'll most likely go back.

The prices we’re outrageous and the food was not good at all spent 90 bucks there just to go home to make something else we will never be back to this place

The fried chicken was so juicy and had so much flavor. The only downside is that it's not closer to me so I can have it more often.

The best chicken in the 4states! I Will not eat chicken anywhere else

Went back after 20 years. Our waitress has been there 32 years.
The chicken and chicken livers are amazing. It crunchy and crispy and freshly cooked to order.
I highly recommend Bartos.

We have not been to Barton’s in over 20 years. Nothing has changed. Same decor, GREAT fried chicle and chicken livers. The chicken is more like extra crispy not original recipe KFC. It’s really good and moist. Our waitress has been there for 32 years and her mom was waitress for 52 years. Barton’s has been there since 1951. I highly recommend Bartos. Much better than the other chicken houses, in my opinion.

Pleasantly surprised. Older crowd loves this place due to old established place and inexpensive food prices. Got really busy while eating (got there at 5 p.m.) Had 3 pc chicken dinner for 7.00. A bit dark in the bar area one tv at the bar, but everyone was socializing.

Hands down THE best chicken in the state. The decore is a little lacking but the chicken more than makes up for it. If you like Chicken Mary/Annies you’ll love Barto’s.

Great food! Great price!
