The food was so good and the people working there are amazing. Continuously checking to see if we need anything. I love having a great place to eat and so close to home.

And home cut seasoned fries, they were huge and just perfect. Loved everything about the place....oh...where is it you ask? It is just north of Buffalo Center and the name? The Barn, simply the barn. Only one other group there in his huge restaurant. They split their hours 11-1 and then 5-9 (I think you could look up their web site) Oh yes....we will defin
