Barbara’s Home Cooking

You wouldn't know it from the outside, but this place was some good meat and potatoes home cooking. Poppy seed chicken was amazing.

This is an interesting place in an old house. The food and service were excellent, but it’s pretty pricey. The bathroom is clean but a little creepy.

The atmosphere and service were so promising; it’s a cute country home with a very friendly staff. I thought for sure the food just had to be amazing based on first impressions walking into Barbara’s. The yeast rolls for the table are really special (they actually remind me of my Nana’s homemade bread). However, the sides were disappointing. Very bland turnip greens and liquidy macaroni and cheese. Reminded me of an old folk’s home cafeteria - brothy/soupy without flavor. Fried okra was good but too salty. Unfortunately, the day we visited they ran out of legs and the chicken tenders were not good. They battered and fried it fine but it wasn’t proper fried chicken. The country fried steak and gravy was quite good. But we could have gone to Publix and fixed our own lunch and would have come out ahead for the price! I’m still on the hunt for a good Mom and Pop country cooking similar to how my Southern grandparents used to eat.

Barley gave us any food never going back. The service was horrible. These were the adult chicken tenders.

This is 5-stars all around because of what it is - that classic home-cooking, meat-and-three. No frills, no pretensions, no marketing. The food is very good. Staff was very nice. Catfish on Fridays. My fried pork chop was home cooking perfection.

I had the poppyseed chicken with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. The rolls and poppyseed chicken were delightful. However, the mac & cheese reminded me of Stouffers in the frozen isle and the mashed potatoes & gravy were bland. This was the consensus with my group. The main course was good but the sides were subpar.

First, let's start off with the positives. The service with the lady at the register was a super nice and friendly experience, and the atmosphere was good. Now let's get to the food. The yeast rolls were really good. I think they're made from scratch. The roast beef had really good flavor it was really fatty, though the mac and cheese and turnip greens had absolutely no flavor at all very bland if you were on a diet and wanted vegetables without meat or anything like that it would be perfect. The price point for the portion sizes were a bit above average. I will definitely try to go back to try other things to see if that was just a fluke. With my reviews, I do not make anything personal but to only give my honest opinion.

This is a cultural experience worth trying. I’m told original owner sold to her head cook and they haven’t changed anything. I had the poppyseed chicken casserole (needed more butter), sweet potato casserole (needed more sugar), and green beans (seemed slightly sweetened). Fudge pie was good but the vanilla ice cream was pretty bland. I’ll be back to try other items on the menu.
