I had the brisket baked potato and it was very good. They had three types of BBQ sauce available and you will definitely find one you like I’m sure. It was crowded when we arrived around 6 and everything took quite a while. By the time we were leaving it was fairly empty, I’d probably go later next time. When it was crowded, it does get a little noisy for visiting. Overall, a great place to check out!

Country Road Barn is the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The venue offers an outdoor ceremony space and a beautiful indoor reception area. They handle the setup of tables and chairs to your exact layout, ensuring everything is perfect. The spacious suites are ideal for the bridal party, and the professional, friendly staff makes sure everything runs smoothly. Plus, the food is delicious, making it an all-around fantastic choice for your wedding!

Edit: Came back after a little while to check the place out again after hearing some positive reviews, and yes I would definitely say that the quality of the food has improved tremendously from the last time we were there. Brisket definitely had a lot of good bark to it, the ribs had just the right amount of bite and flavor, and the sides were delicious! I think we will have to put the country road Barn in our regular rotation 😁 We decided to give this new place a try, the barbecue was pretty decent. I tried the three meat combo including ribs, chicken, and brisket. You could tell all of their meat was truly smoked and had good moisture content and flavor. I would definitely agree with other reviewers saying that the hot sauce was not all that hot.

Some of the best brisket I’ve ever had and the bread pudding was literally to die for!! You must order that when you go, you won’t regret it! We also ordered the chili and pulled chicken which I didn’t love as much but the pulled pork we got was very good. Bartended made a great mule and prices were great. All in all, 10/10, highly recommend! Edit: Went back and tried the ribs, 100/10. Best ribs I’ve ever had!! Brisket and bread pudding still amazing.
