Well, I used to be a regular, as in ate there 3 times in a week. Used to take co-workers, family, and friends to enjoy some great southern food. Loved the chicken tenders. The second to last time I was there, I took my sister and family from out of town, and we all got the chicken. It was not fresh. I mean cold. Not a hint of warmth. So, I mentioned it to our server (who happens to be related to Barbara). She apologized and had some made so they would be fresh. They were amazing. The last time (that I will ever eat there), unfortunately, ordered the same thing. Chicken tenders. Mentioned that I'm sure they would be fresh but just wanted to make sure. No problem. Food came out, and the tenders were COLD. WOW! I was told that they could "microwave" them for me...huh? I mean I could eat a tv dinner for a lot less if I wanted MICROWAVED food. I politely asked them to just take them off the check and I would not eat them. The server proceeded to say, "maybe I should just not order those here anymore"! WOW again. I was shocked, appalled, and quite speechless to say the least. I have not and will not be back... unfortunately!

Barbaras has been a local favorite for years. Most locals get it "to go" because we know that you don't go to Barbaras for the atmosphere. Barbara has never advertised except for word of mouth, she hasn't needed to. Hers is one of very few places that still makes everything from scratch and everyone feel like family. You will not find better fried chicken anywhere...even in Georgia!

we had a decent experience, we've only been once. We probably wont go back until the weather cools down. The only seating we liked was outdoors-- the inside was very outdated and claustrophobic... very uncomfortable.. I personally do not like eating outdoors, but we did. I had a great meal, my husbands was okay-- too many onions in the meatloaf-- I had the chicken salad on a bed a spinach leaves with fresh fruit-- the kids had mac and cheese. We also tried their mashed potatoes and cinnamon apples and berry cobbler all, which were wonderful!!! I've heard her friend chicken is great, but we haven't tried it yet. Some people around us were upset that the waiter wasn't more attentive, but he was nice to us, just real busy. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, but seemed to be well liked. As we sat there eating, the waiter acknowledged almost everyone that walked up by name. So this is obviously big with the locals. The menu you have to choose from is what she has decided on daily-- so you can count on a few menu items, but mostly it depends on the special of the day-- so be warned about that in advance, if you want something in particular, just call in advance to be sure they have it that day.
