★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Brad Snively · Feb 2026

My wife has left several positive reviews and I love the barbecue, but last night we got half filled pint dishes of the chicken and dumplings. Never been more disappointed! I love this place but keep the quality up for those that are driving home in carry-out.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Maegan Greene · Dec 2025

I would’ve given one star, but I gave a star because the prices were decent. I did not go in for the buffet but he told me it was 12 something which I thought was such a low amount. I said oh my God I’ll be back then I was thinking it was gonna be like 20-25 bucks or something like that. Well, I can see why it’s so low so I bought the mac & cheese, hush puppies, pulled pork and the barbecue ribs, mustard base. The ribs were awful. They were so dry. We were all so disappointed. I like ribs when the meat falls off the bone cause they’re so juicy and tender. These were so dried up. They were not good at all, way overcooked. I don’t know who y’all hired for a cook in there but you need to fire them and get some real cooks in there that know what they’re doing. I don’t know how you’re cooking y

Farm Boys Barbecue offered a warm and welcoming buffet experience. I was greeted promptly and received attentive service from the moment I walked in. The staff explained the menu options, drive‑thru service, online ordering, and the buffet setup. I especially appreciated the glove provided for handling the serving utensils — a thoughtful touch. I chose to dine in, and my only regret is that I enjoyed the food a little too much. The buffet featured a wide variety of vegetables and meats, including fish and shrimp for the Friday after 5 p.m. seafood offering. The fish, shrimp, and hush puppies were the standout items for me, and the coleslaw was also delicious. I didn’t have room left to sample the desserts. My server kept my drink refilled and was friendly and pleasant throughout my visit

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jesse Moskel · Nov 2024

It was fairly average for what is available in this part of the country I would probably rate this higher if it had been near to my arrival in this part of the country because I was pretty high on barbecue when I first got here At this point I still like it, but I don’t love it because there are no fresh vegetables and I’m completely over pulled pork even with the vinegar sauce The highlight was definitely the fried chicken here. I would go back to this restaurant for fried chicken any day of the week for me that was the best part.

★★★★★ 5.0 Benita Bradley · Mar 2025

This was my first time visiting this location. The food was delicious; especially the fried chicken. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I admired the fact that the owner was walking around interacting with the customers. I showed me that this place was more than just a restaurant but a neighborhood staple. When I am back in the area, I plan to return.
