The BBQ Barn is located about a mile off I-85, and it obviously is popular with the locals, as the lot was nearly full at 11:45. Lots of trucks, trade and pickups, family sedans, and a van or two. This is a small place with a cafeteria style setup, plastic trays and utensils, and lines can form during peak times.
They serve country cooking meat and 2 plates, sandwiches, and of course, pork barbecue., which is what brought me here. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but the chopped pork was not good at all, it tasted old, stale, almost as if it had been frozen previously. It is pulled pork, not chopped, much like Prissy Polly's in Kernersville. There is a mild, vinegar based sauce on it, but there is also a Lexington stylre sauce available, but it did not help what I was served.
It was Thursday, and this means Chicken & Dumplings here, and this dish was excellent. Thet also serve sandwiches, including burgers and a decent hot dog. I'll probably give the pork another shot if opportunity arises, but what I had yesterday was just not good. read more
