About Barbely's Restaurant

Barbely's Restaurant is a charming, off-the-beaten-path eatery with a warm atmosphere that offers a delightful dining experience. Known for its homemade dinners and desserts, it is a popular spot for family meals. The crab cake is a standout dish, and the fried chicken, greens, and biscuits receive high praise. The service is friendly, with a welcoming front staff that makes guests feel like part of the family. Guests often mention the home-cooked feel and the cozy, country decor that enhances the experience. The restaurant has limited seating, so making a reservation is recommended, especially during peak times. While the front porch serves as the smoking section, the bathrooms are clean, and there is a play area for kids, which many families appreciate. The partially open kitchen and historic building add to the charm. Guests should save room for dessert, as the apple dumpling and other treats tend to run out quickly and are considered exceptional. Many visitors say the food reminds them of dinners at Nana's house, emphasizing the homey, love-filled cooking. Barbely's is a hidden gem on the Virginia Shore, offering simple, genuine Southern-style home-cooked meals that are not to be missed.

They surprised us a special act of kindness on our 35th anniversary that will remain a secret in case you have the opportunity to experience it for yourself. I highly recommend a table...read full review

I’ve lived on the Eastern Shore my whole life and finally decided to give Barbely’s a try — and I’m so glad I did! The food is absolutely phenomenal. You can immediately tell it’s home-cooked, and the entire place has that warm, family atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
The desserts were outstanding — the apple dumpling especially was amazing. I also want to recognize our server, Jenna, who provided excellent customer service, keeping everything moving...read full review
