The service was awesome, and the food was spectacular. The BBQ pulled pork is on-point. The shredded chicken was great. The red skin potato salad was exceptional. We also picked the pull pork nachos, baked beans, coleslaw, and fries they were all really good. It smelled so good when it came to our table that I forgot to get pics. I highly recommend a stop by this place if you get the chance

Loved the outside decor with giant animals and a real smoker. Inside decor is great. Rustic, classic, weird (a bbq restaurant with an aquarium??). Our hostess/waitress was super friendly and responsive. My son and I both got pulled pork sandwiches which were delicious. Moist, not a huge amount of meat and very mild smoke but good sauce. The mystery dipping sauce for the crispy housemade chips was a strange mixture. Our waitress didn’t know what it was but it kind of seemed like blue cheese dressing mixed with ketchup. Super sweet tea! Very light crowd early on a Sunday afternoon. Loved it, would definitely go again.

Big T. was amazing. This was the first time my husband and I have been here. I enjoy a good BBQ every now and then. This place was spectacular to be a northern bbq ( I'm from BBQ country the south). Big T suggested the combo for 2 and it was delectable. We were so full we took some home. The family said it was fabulous.

A special shout out to @Barnyard BBQ in Teays Valley and to our dedicated servers, Big T and Hailey. They offered us a welcoming space and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs for our 40th class reunion. If you're planning a group event, I highly recommend reaching out to them.
