    I got the Original Blue Bowl with macaroni, it had chicken, corn, jalapenos, pico, and plenty of cheese. I grabbed a Spring grove soda to complement the food (Rhu-Berry) was in and out within 15 minutes. Will have to stop here again.

    How cool is this!

    Great take out BBQ...We got the 2 people combo with some brisket, pulled pork, and chicken....sides of mac&cheese and baked beans. Toss in a couple of biscuits and it was ALL GOOD!!! The guys running the place were very personable and we were in and out in short order as we had just left the basketball game and were headed home to do chores. Awesome overall...we'll be back.

    Fast, friendly and delicious!! I really wanted something quick to take back to my Airbnb and this was perfect. I went with the recommended pulled pork and added pickled corn relish with Blue Barn bbq sauce- the pork was so tender it melted in my mouth. Mashed sweet potatoes and jicama slaw had me torn...so I had both! Planning my next stop as soon as I can- the loaded Mac and cheese bowl has my tastebuds curious!

    I've been smelling those smokey meats every time I drive by, and I finally made it over there yesterday for lunch! I got the plate. It's all takeout. Everything comes in a bunch of different packages that you put together when you get home. The main food packaging is compostable, which is great. But I'd rather see more use of those than the little plastic cups and paper cups. Let's keep going on that initiative! I had the chopped pork, which was amazing! (It was similar to pulled pork.) I had the white bread (it was just a normal piece of plain bread--disappointing). The bbq sauce was great! The mashed potatoes and beans were pretty good. But others in my group had the Mac and cheese, which was really freaking good. Others also said the cornbread was super dry. My husband also said the brisket was good. Overall, pretty pleased with this place! They had good tunes blasting (Bob Dylan, Janice Joplin). Good vibes. Good eats.

    Visiting from Texas, I had high expectations for this new bbq restaurant. It did not disappoint! I have had some amazing bbq in Texas, however, the Blue Barn BBQ does not trail far behind. I came later in the evening and unfortunately, they were out of the beef and Mac n cheese. Instead, I chose chicken and potato salad. Both great-tasting items. I was also a fan of the corn bread! I do wish they had banana pudding or something for dessert. They have some very interesting sauces that I enjoyed and their customer service was great. They took time with each customer and were very friendly/ family- oriented. All in all, a positive experience. I will definitely be back to try their brisket & Mac and cheese! The Blue Barn BBQ is a wonderful addition to CF!

    Really glad to see Cedar Falls add this. The BBQ here is great, some of the best I've ever had. Will come back when I'm back in town!

    The brisket was pretty good. The ribs were ok. I didn't eat the sides. They were bland.

    Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

    Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.
