Old Barn Restaurant & Grill

We have been going to Old barn out back for 30+ years and never had a service experience like 2/10/24 6:00p. We checked in w female hostess. She reported it would be 30 min. Asked for our name and number in party. We asked her if we would get notified if in the bar. She stated she would come get us. We waited in bar for approximately 40 min. My husband went to find out the status of our table. The hostess said our name wasn’t on the list and asked if we would have given a different name. She ultimately found us a table. We seated ourselves and never saw any waitress/waiter while we were there. No drinks, no cleaning of table, no bill. I want to cash register to pay. I had to wait while 3 different people tried to figure out how to cash me out. It is hard to recommend when there is absolutely no service. No apology at any time was offered.

Every thing was good

Was expecting more of a menu choice not the typical buffet. Dishes reccomened weren't even on buffet? Other then lobster mac and cheese, l didn't try.

Food wasn't too bad. Couple options wasn't very good.

Good food and friendly people

I’m not one to leave bad reviews, however, this place deserves it . Once a week, my family and I go out to eat trying new places. We opted to give this place a try horrible mistake. The food on the buffet was very limited and subpar 2 ate buffet, 3 of us ordered off the menu that Was less than desirable all three of those meals did not get ate, and spent $130 1. The steak I ordered was brought out, cut into it due to the dim lighting I couldn’t tell if it was cooked correct or not took a bite of it, and it was the most soured rotted taste. I immediately spit it out, the side that came with it was loaded french fries I asked for them loaded they came out burnt & Cold and with only melted cold cheese. 2. The child’s item, mac & cheese, and french fries she wouldn’t even touch. Tried the mac & cheese immediately spit it out. I tried it again the same thing did not taste, correct 3. Ordered a signature drink off of their menu about 10 to 15 minutes into waiting after placing the order. The server comes back in states we don’t have the items to make that drink. I’m sorry didn’t offer anything else just left me with my water.. 4. Dirty silverware rolled and brought to the table, dirty plates and bowls on the salad bar. After the food was brought out when the server finally came back to the table about 15 min after the food was delivered I explained about the steak and the mac & cheese. She said I’m sorry I’ll get that fixed for you. Never brought new Mac n cheese out. However, when explaining about the french fries and how they were not right, she stated well I’m not sure how they’re prepared. I’ll have to ask so I picked up the menu and I read exactly what was supposed to be on the loaded french fries. She looked at the french fries that were brought to me and said oh those look old anyway, I’ll have to get you some new ones . All of this and we had asked multiple times to get refills. No one brought any to the table. We had to grab a different server asked him if we could get refills. He said he would get our server. 10 minutes go by he comes back by the table asks if we ever got our refills we stated no he then went and got our drink refills. Our server was barely at our table until it was time for the check and then she hovered to get payment! Not once did a manager or supervisor make their rounds check on the food check on the table Especially after serving me, a rotten soured steak and cold, burnt french fries . I highly recommend do not go to this place. It is a waste of money. The food is beyond subpar. If I could give it zero stars for horrible service and bad food and lack of management presence it would get a zero star from me. .

Wasn't what I was expecting. Buffet was very small and not alot of variety as I remembered.need to upgrade desserts and other stuff in hot bar

Ate here today. It’s a mere shadow of its former self. I loved OBOB growing up so thought it would be a nice place to meet with family for Sunday brunch. There were 12 of us. Some of us drove from 2 hours away to meet up. Food was not good. Bacon was the best thing available even though no strips were crispy. Chicken and noodles was not temperature hot and was bland with tough chicken chunks. Fried chicken was dry. Made to order omelets were not cooked properly….overcooked (browned) and were not stuffed with the selected veggies and cheese, etc. One of our favorite items used to be their cinnamon rolls that you’d pull directly from the warmer. They still have the rolls but they are sitting out and are cold. Kind of seems like most everything was leftovers from the prior week. Salad croutons were soft and stale. The pickled beets were literally brown. I couldn’t find much worth eating so definitely did not get a full meal and feel the value of food for the $ spent is poor. Also, so many of the plates at the beginning of the buffet line were dirty….and we were there right at 10:30 when they opened for the day. It was odd. Our server refilled drinks for some of us once and didn’t clear plates at all. An 18% gratuity was added on automatically, plus a 3% credit card fee for using a debit card. We generally tip very, very well but that’s a LOT of $ for bringing initial drinks and some refills (not everyone received refills). We were not a high maintenance table, everyone got the buffet, and we paid via one bill. We won’t return. This experience makes me super sad given my prior memories of the old establishment.
