Absolutely great food...plus Ashely our waitress was just awesome friendly and professional....above and beyond personality....

The burger was good, the service was even better! We stopped by Barley Burger on a weekday afternoon for lunch while traveling through Rocky Mount.. we tend to stop in Rocky Mount frequently when driving I-95 up the East Coast. This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment. read more

I ordered the Burger Bowl which is an enormous mixed greens salads, bacon bits, sliced egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions topped with 2 burger patties. I originally didn't think I'd finish this salad but it was really fresh and delicious. Very low carb meal. Next time I might try chicken instead of burgers. Husband had the Rocky Balboa burger and a side salad instead of fries. He was a little disappointed in the small size of the burger but it was otherwise good (cooked medium well but not dry) and the salad was fresh. Service was friendly but server had a little trouble remembering if they had Guinness. I would expect the servers to have this information ready as they serve primarily burgers and BEER, ya know. It was an early Fri nt dinner for us so not crowded or busy yet. Noise level was moderate and we could still talk without raising our voices. read more

We were driving from Washington DC to SC and decided to stop here for lunch as it was a good halfway point. It was a great decision because it was delicious. The ambiance is movie pictures themed. The menu offers about ten different burgers, as well as a build your own option. I went with the truffle shuffle and loved it. It had carmelized onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and truffle oil. For my side I had onion rings, which were also good. My husband had the blues brother burger. It had blue cheese, carmelized onions and lettuce on it. He got the sweet potato waffle fries. We both loved our meals. Service was quick and very polite. read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The decor is filled with movie memorabilia and tv's for watching sports. Our waitress,Shane, was absolutely amazing!!!! We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer. They came out quickly and were lightly breaded and full of flavor. For our main course we ordered a truffle mushroom burger with tots. We shared it since we heard portions are large so we are happy that we shared the plate. Everything was so tasty and delicious. This place is a perfect choice to sit back, relax and enjoy some good southern food. read more

This place a a surprise! We were driving between Cary and Fredericksburg, and this seemed like a good place to stop for lunch. From the outside, it looks bland but the food definitely isn't bland. We both throughly enjoyed our burgers! The service was prompt and pleasant It has a nice ambiance. If we were in this again, we would stop here for a meal! read more

My husband got the ghostbuster burger and my son and myself got the Ricky Bobby. My husband said that was the best burger he's had in a long time. The flavors in the food was amazing. My husband couldn't stop talking about it the entire day. The staff was amazing and so friendly. We will be back when we go to the Guns N' Roses concert. Mahalo read more

Yelp helped me find this absolute gem while visiting Rocky Mount today. I absolutely loved the decor, the music, the draft list, the service, and the food. Our server was super friendly and informative. We shared that we live in Raleigh and learned that they also have a location in Raleigh on Hillsborough Street. We already have plans to check out the Raleigh location this weekend! The food was all amazing! Clear standouts were the eggrolls and the smash burgers. The sweet potato waffle fries were amazing too. We enjoyed the 90s music and the movie decor on the walls. I'm so glad Yelp suggested we check this place out and I'm even happier to know they have a Raleigh location. read more

The Ricky Bobby is delicious! Pro tip: ask to add onions! Always fast and great service.

Upscale Burgers & More This is more than just a great burger place. It's a full service restaurant with a complete bar, outside seating and an extensive menu. Service is prompt and friendly, prices are reasonable, atmosphere is laid-back and portions are generous (you will probably end up taking home some of whatever you order). It has become very popular, so be prepared for a brief wait, especially at dinner time on the week-end. One of our favorite burgers is the Marty McFly. Two smashed beef patties on a perfectly baked Brioche Bun with House-made Chili, Cheese and Mustard - glorious. The Waffle cut Sweet Potato Fries are naturally sweet and crispy. The B & B Nachos are loaded with ground beef or pulled pork (recommend the Pork), queso cheese, street corn, fresh jalapeños, diced tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream served on the side. There's plenty to share as a meal for two or appetizer for three or four. As the name would suggest, there is a nice selection of Craft Beers along with most of the old favorites. If you are feeling creative, you may want to try a Candy Apple Collins, Espresso Martini, Pumpkin Spice Mule or Snozzberry (gin, strawberry syrup and Amaretto). For a real treat, I suggest the Southeastern Salad with Chipotle Ranch Dressing. This complete meal includes Grilled Chicken, Roasted Corn, Black Beans, Tomato, Monterey Jack Cheese, Guacamole and Corn Tortilla Strips on a bed of Mixed Greens. True burger enthusiasts will love the B.Y.O.B. (Build Your Own Burger). Start with either Ground Beef, Grilled Chicken, Ground Turkey or a Veggie Patty. Then choose from every conceivable topping (most free - some with $1 or $2 extra charge). Cram it all into a Brioche Bun, Lettuce Wrap, Pretzel Bun, Gluten Free Bun - or no bun at all, if you prefer. read more

Great food. The sweet potato fries are off da chain! Staff was inviting. They have a variety of items so that you do not have to eat the same thing every time. It encourages you to try something different every time. read more

We came in for a late lunch on Father's Day, so they were busy. We still got excellent service and our food came out in a reasonable time frame. Both the burger and chicken sandwich were excellent and reasonably priced. read more

This place is WONDERFUL. Last night I had the "burger of the month." It was a burger with peach bbq sauce, onion straws, bacon, cheese, etc! It was AMAZING. Drew Parks, one of the servers recommended it to me. I am going back tonight to have another one! Drew, Tammy, Sanai, Kaitlyn, Marshay and the entire staff are the BEST! read more

The Ricky Bobby is amazing. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I would probably have them go a little lighter on the jalapeño peppers, but I can't eat too spicy of food. They have sweet potato fries that looked good, but they had a half a wedge as a side option which I chose instead. It was good. Had a Oozlefinch boozy grape soda with it. It was like a Welch's soda. Tasty for sure. Limited bar and beer on tap selection. Small bar maybe holds 10-12 people. The inside is nice and clean. Nothing fancy. Bartender was attentive. Order the Ricky Bobby! read more

Fast service, waitstaff was very attentive, manager came and fixed a issue quickly. Burgers were hot and ingredients plentiful. Very disappointed in the chicken tenders, just frozen bagged tenders not fresh or handmade. read more

Great burgers!! A little greasy but that doesn't scare us at all, I got the truffle shuffle and my husband built his own. Kiddo got chicken tenders which were really good too, we got tots and fries and love them all. Service was good, food came out slow but it was Sunday at lunch hour so we didn't mind. Over all it's a cool place to eat. read more

We spent the night in Rocky Mount on our way to OBX. Stopped in here for dinner with our dog. The staff were friendly and welcoming, food was fantastic - try the fried banana peppers - we both had the BYOB. Everything was delicious, drinks were strong and good. All around great experience. $100 before tip for 2 people. Appetizer, 2 meals and 5 drinks. We will be back next time we are up here read more

Worst service for an online order. Ordered 1:15 before receiving order and the young lady at the reception had absolutely no interest in helping. read more

Met with some family members here to celebrate a birthday. We arrived at the restaurant around noon on a Monday. The place a reasonably busy, with several customers taking advantage of the nice spring day and dining on the patio. We were quickly seated and the server took our beverage orders. The restaurant seems to have a movie theme, with lots of the dishes having movie character names, such as Ricky Bobby, Napoleon Dynamite, Rocky Balboa, and my choice - Marty McFly, a burger with homemade chili, coleslaw, and American Cheese. Others in our group ordered Cobb salad, and two hot dogs Doc Brown and The Jules. Our meals were brought to the table with a short wait time. My burger was enhanced with the homemade chili. Good flavor, normal sized burger. I liked the sweet potato fries with ranch dipping sauce. I was not impressed with our server, who was reasonably efficient but not making us feel appreciated for dining there. read more

Briana was our server! Great servce and great accent lol I chose to order the Ghost Buster! It's two beef patties with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, jalapeno bacon, and house-made chipotle aioli served on a toasted brioche bun. Wow I really did enjoy this and my waffle fries were perfect too! Wife had the Roadhouse! Grilled Chicken Breast, swiss cheese, guacamole, bacon, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato. All good stuff and we both enjoyed a couple of ice cold beers, can't remember the name but it was similar to a Killians Red. read more

Locals and travelers know a Gold Mine when we see one. From the moment we stepped out of the rain we saw sunshine. Leah greeted us and sweetly told us there was a wait, we would have waited all day for the awesome food and service we received. We only waited long enough to decide our beer choices. While sitting at the small bar area we conversed with server Rebekah and also with Leah. Many take out orders for local people and inside customers showed that the food and great service was apparent. We had the Roadhouse and the Ricky Bobby. The sides were tater tots and Sweet Potato waffle fries. The beer was Red Oak Hummin' Bird and Capella Porter. Aces Quava Cider was an excellent appetizer for me. Well done everyone, no wonder a larger location is being considered. read more

I've visited several times and the food and service is always great! Service is great too. Great menu.

Delicious burgers and very fun atmosphere! This place has a blockbuster movie theme in the menu and decor. I'm happy to say the food lives up to the descriptions! Drew was also an amazing waiter for us. He was professional, polite, quick to serve, and friendly! Get this guy a raise! read more

As far as burgers go, this place has everything you would want. This place serves real burgers not like your average fast food joint. The inside of the place was super cool and had interesting art from various movies covering the walls. Super entertaining. Our server was the goat. He was super friendly and was ready to serve. If I knew his name I would argue for his raise. My burger was insane, huge and delicious. The only average thing about this place is the price. Nothing outrageous and nothing crazy. read more

Best burger I've ever had! Service was great and good came out surprisingly fast!! Will be adding this stop to my regulars.

A must stop in Rocky Mount. It's kinda tucked away in a small shopping center but it's worth the find. Great beer & food selections w/ creative sandwich names, friendly staff, quick food w/ full service. Benjamin, the young man at the front door was on point. Quick & friendly greetings as soon as the door opens! The pics may not give the full story but the hand battered fried pickles and the Ricky Bobby Sub were perfectly made. Although I got my food to-go, the pickles were still crispy and the sub was wrapped in foil to Lee it hot till I got to my hotel. I applaud you guys for all the awards on the wall and now understand why the locals keep voting you a #1 in multiple categories!! See you next time I'm in town read more

This was a delightful burger joint which we hit up on our return trip home from the south. Just minutes off the highway, Yelp gave it great reviews and I can assure you they are well-earned stars. The onion rings really are spectacular! Igot the Godfather and enjoyed the pepperoni on my burger. My mom ordered the wedge salad and it, like all their salads is big and beautiful. read more

We were heading back to Raleigh and our usual stop for lunch had closed early due to the incoming storm. I did a quick map search and after reading the excellent Yelp reviews, we decided to try this place. My man ordered The Dude Ribeye sandwich with onion rings and he loved it! I had the Southwest salad and it was incredible. Everything was fresh and service was amazing! Highly recommend! read more

Visited the restaurant and tried to order a 1/2 wedge salad and the bartender told me they were out of the wedge and then told me they were out of all salads. Tried to order a Wicked Weed Pernicious in a can, bartender told me they were out all she had was draft. Ordered a draft and left, no idea if the food was any good. Very disappointed based on reviews, really wanted to try the restaurant but was turned off and left to get dinner somewhere else. read more

Interesting spot. Ambiance is nice although a bit canned, franchise. Service is ok. Its very strange most of the staff is on their phone. I decided not to eat after trying an appetizer. If you only serve one ramekin of cheese 1/16 cup with a boat of toasted bread that says enough. Cheap read more

Great burgers and service. Drinks are very elevated in comparison to typical burger place.

Had dinner last night. Now I will admit that burgers were really good and our server was terrific. Issue I had was 2 burgers, 2 sides, and 2 beers on tap was $60! Appreciate the good food and service but good grief that's a little steep for a burger. read more

I was in the area to visit family and didn't want to eat at the usual restaurants so Yelp led me here. It was located in a small shopping center but the restaurant was really spacious on the inside. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was amazing and the waiter was thorough and checked on us frequently. I ordered the Ghostbuster and it was juicy and had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The tater tots were fried hard how I like it. I asked my daughter what she would rate her cheeseburger on a scale of 1-10 and she said 1000. It was a quick and delicious meal and I would go back the next time I'm visiting Rocky Mount. read more
