(Get prepped for a detailed review). I'm always up for a good food truck, but to be honest…read moresometimes they get redundant. I even think the lack of variety makes some food trucks more popular than maybe they deserve to be. Barn Bites is every bit deserving of all good things said about them and their food, and if given the opportunity, you REALLY need to be sure and give it a try. My kids (highschoolers) are always down to try a new chicken sandwich.... but to be honest there's not many places you can take a sandwich that it either hasn't been before... or where it just becomes a sloppy mess. So I'm not sure what we were expecting, but Barn Bites was better than any expectation. We waited in a little bit of a line, maybe 7 people back. We ordered at 2:45pm. So, first thing I'm thinking is this is gonna take a while. But it will probably be some chicken thrown in a fryer (from frozen) and they'll throw sauce and something else on it. So it won't take long. But no. Right there in the window, they set the expectation. This is going to take some time, they hand bread/season to order, and it WILL take you 10-12 minutes to get your food. This is also genius. Setting that expectation up front...... THANK YOU! Totally didn't even notice the time pass. We got our food at 3:10. So it took 25 minutes, but we expected a wait... we had people in front of us, and they all had to wait 10-12 minutes. So we were fine with it. In fact this raised our expectations... which is NOT something a food truck wants you to do if they can't back it up. So we sat down about 3:11pm. And I kid you not by 3:13pm we had already decided this was THE best chicken sandwich anywhere. My daughter and I got the Palmetto, my son got the Hot Sam... we did this so I could get a bite of his sandwich and try it. Well, my son inhaled his sandwich. I never got a try. The Palmetto... was other worldly. The spices, the crisp... this was no pressed chicken patty or frozen shredded stuff. This was a thick, chicken sandwich, that was JUICY and not dry. We added the rosemary parmesan fries. The 3 of us said the same thing... there's a place downtown called Grill Marks. Their fries are truffle butter parmesan rosemary. They're delicious but after a while, they're so heavy they make you feel ill. Barn Bites were PERFECTION. Not greasy, not overly saturated with cheese or oil or anything. They were amazing. So think of the best chicken sandwich you've had. ChickFila? Zesto? Even BoJangles. yeah they're fast food places... ok so how about somewhere like Old Mill, or Liberty. This sandwich is better. WAY better. The folks in the truck were super nice. The strawberry lemonade was on point and fresh, with bits of fruit in it. This isn't any ordinary food truck. This is a food truck you want to get in line for, will happily wait for, and will seek out to go back to. I don't make long reviews often, but when someone deserves it.. deserves success and deserves to be known about... I like to at least do my part to spread the word and recognize. Seriously you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you to the folks at Barn Bites food truck, who were at Hazelwood yesterday. You've got this family hooked. I wish you much success and longevity!! We will be back to try the pork chop version, and the other sides.... we got the fries and the cheese balls.... we need more.

We stopped in for lunch and let me tell you... those collard greens are something special. Packed with flavor and the perfect side to make you feel like you're sitting at grandma's table. Now let's talk about the Chicken & Waffles -- hot, fresh, and made with love. The waffle had the most delicious vanilla flavor that reminded me of a funnel cake, with that perfect balance of fluffy inside and crispy edges. Paired with that crispy chicken, it was the kind of comfort food combo that just hits the spot. Come hungry because this is the kind of meal that reminds you why soul food has a way of bringing people together. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the AC was out that day and I can say it was pretty warm inside. But the service was great and our server was so sweet and a true trooper!

I've been to Kiki's Chicken & Waffles on Parkland Road several times for breakfast and lunch,…read moreunfortunately, this most recent visit was disappointing--not only because of the food, but also because of the customer service. When a customer walks into your restaurant, they should be greeted and acknowledged. I stood there for a few minutes before anyone acknowledged me, and the first thing I was asked was whether I had placed an online order. The restaurant was not full at the time, so I found that experience disappointing. A simple "Welcome in, we'll be with you shortly" would have made a big difference. I ordered Kiki's Soul Food Plate with four chicken wings, string beans, sweet potato soufflé, and a muffin, along with a side of collard greens. The chicken wings were fried to a good consistency, but once I bit into them, the chicken was extremely dry--much drier than I expected. The string beans and collard greens were okay, but honestly, neither was anything special. The sweet potato soufflé was another surprise. When I took a bite, I tasted what seemed to be a clove, and I actually had to spit it out. That was definitely not what I expected when ordering sweet potato soufflé I am not a big fan of cloves. The muffin was probably the best part of the meal. It was hot, edible, and had more of a cake-like texture, which I actually enjoyed. I'm not someone who judges a restaurant based on one visit, especially since I've eaten at Kiki's several times before. But this particular visit just didn't live up to my previous experiences. The food and the service both missed the mark this time. I hope this was simply an off day because I would like to see Kiki's do better.

I was really disappointed with this meal and the overall experience. As someone who comes from a…read morelarge Samoan and Polynesian family, I have a strong appreciation and understanding of what Hawaiian-inspired food should taste like, and unfortunately, this missed the mark. The macaroni salad was incredibly bland and tasted like it had little to no dressing. A good Hawaiian-style mac salad should be creamy, flavorful, and properly seasoned. This one lacked the texture and taste that make it a staple of the cuisine. The steak was overcooked, under-seasoned, and seemed to rely mostly on sauce for flavor instead of having the seasoning and preparation built into the meat. Hawaiian-style food should be about balance, flavor, and proper technique not just adding sauce at the end to compensate. The drink situation also added to the disappointment. None of the fountain drink machines were working, and we were only offered canned soda. When I asked if there were any alternatives, such as lemonade or iced tea, for customers who don't drink soda, I was told no options were available. Having a few non-soda choices is a basic expectation, especially when the main beverage system is unavailable. The cleanliness of the restaurant was another concern. Several tables and chairs appeared not to have been wiped down, and the windowsills needed attention as well. These may seem like small details, but they are the things customers notice when they walk into an establishment. Cleanliness and attention to detail are a big part of the overall dining experience. If a restaurant is going to offer Hawaiian-style cuisine, it should take the time to learn authentic recipes and techniques or work with people who have genuine cultural knowledge and experience preparing these dishes. Hawaiian and Polynesian food has a rich history and deserves to be represented with care and respect. I hope they take this feedback as an opportunity to improve, because the concept has potential, but the execution needs significant work. The food, cleanliness, and overall customer experience need more attention before I could recommend this place.
