Go for the beer

The side dishes are good, fun friendly atmosphere and great beer. I would go back, but not for the barbeque. If you want barbeque, go to City Barbeque. If you want to hang out, have a few beers and eat some decent food, then by all means enjoy.
- Pros: Beer
- Cons: BBQ
Great Value, Great Food

I enjoy going to Barley's whether I'm with my family or out with friends. They have a huge menu that's sure to have several options for even the pickiest foodie. My favorite is the Smokehouse Salad-- with Salmon or the mushroom cap. The beer is also fantastic. They have seasonal favorites but are always trying some new brews. Check out the Bombshell Blonde! The service is wonderful. Unlike chain restaurants these guys know their food and always have a very accurate and descriptive summary of the dishes. The best part is the price! Almost everything is under $10-- a rare find in our economy where resturants are all to quick to pass along food and fuel costs to their customers!
- Pros: Value, Ambience, Great choice for a night with the family OR with friends
- Cons: They have a big lunch rush, try going for dinner-- even on the weekends!

All-American cuisine including steaks and barbecue are served at the casual, family-friendly restaurant with a full bar.

This is a great local place to eat. The service was excellent, with our server coming over everytime our glasses were empty to refill, and keeping an eye on us while we were perusing the menu, and coming over the second we were ready to order. The Seegars were great for an appetizer, and so was the chicken and ribs combo. The sandwich combo with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket was delicious as well.
- Pros: Lots of space between tables, not too loud, great selection of foods and brews
Excellent food - never a bad meal

Always have great food here! The service staff is awesome too!
We really like the chicken and rib combination with hot crispy fries
and also love the Barley Burger with onion straws. Great and fast
for take out service as well.
- Pros: Great Food, Fast, Hot Crispy fries
Worth the wait.

I agree with the other reviewers who complained about the service. Our server was absolutely clueless, and seemed to have a short-term memory of about 4 seconds. It took quite a while for our meals to appear too... Fortunately, the food was worth the wait. Husband's ribs and chicken were a BARGAIN at $12. My sandwich sampler was also extremely good. Delicious fries (more please!). The place is much better since the smoking ban was introduced. Even when we were smokers, it got a bit too much. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in some great BBQ.
- Pros: Good food, Reasonable prices, Parking/location
- Cons: Service
Great before they Changed their Menu

Nice place, great staff and service. Numerous types of beers. Recently changed their Menu and got rid of some great items. BBQ is outstanding. Used to have a Smoked Mozz. Rav. which was the best. Great food, service, and atmosphere.
- Pros: food, service
- Cons: Menu Changed
Best Smoked/Grilled Chix Wings
by rwalt

The Chix wings @ Barley's are the best I have ever had....and I have had a few in my time. These wings are like no other wings you will ever try, they are not deep fried so less fat for you health nuts. The other food is good to but I only go on Monday for the .33 cents wings. I think Barley's should start to pay me for advertisement cuz I tell all my friends about this place. IT"S GREAT!!!
- Pros: Best Wings, Good Beer
- Cons: Service

Pretty Good...Not Great
by mzakal

I have to say that I really like the atmosphere of this place, and the service has always been very good. The food is pretty good, not great, and the portions can be lacking at times. The beer is very good, but the kind I ordered was warm every time (it was a light wheat beer, so it was not intended to be warm either). Overall, it's a pretty good place, just not a restaurant I will frequent.
- Pros: atmosphere, service, beer
- Cons: portions, prices
