I have been to Barbara Jean's twice and both times it was unacceptable. It had a been a few years since our first visit and decided to try again when a group of girl friends decided to meet there for dinner. I ordered a mix drink which I believe was 8 bucks and came in a small glass that was... more

I was out familiarizing myself with the area and stumbled across Barbara Jean's. I stopped for dinner. It was a Wednesday night and not crowded. I was seated immediately, my server took the time to find out that it was my first time, made the recommendation for the crab cakes so I got the she-crab soup, crabcakes, green beans and... more

Just bad.

I dined at Barbara Jeans with my mother, grandmother, and aunt for a nice 'girl's dinner.' Except it wasn't nice (besides the company. :) ) I started with the she crab soup and had shell in my first bite. I thought "it happens." and took another bite. Shell. I was thinking 'okay... surely that is it.' I took three more... more

This was our second visit. First time, everything was great. Best meatloaf! Second visit, food was very good, even the burger, but our server just had no drive to please. She ignored our drink refills and added nothing to the experience. Regardless, we will return for the great food, reasonable prices, and earlier service experience. more

We absolutely loved this restaurant! Everything was homemade just like a prize winning grandma would cook it ... right down to the freshly baked bread. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Service was fast. The prices were very reasonable. The only bad thing about this is that it is too far away from Cincinnati for us to able to... more

Everything is homemade and of southern roots with a twist! By far the best food I had while vacationing in Beaufort! The choices were many and the prices were very good! more

While staying on Harbor Island, we decided to try Barbara Jeans based on previous good reviews on this site. We were seated promptly and met by our waitress promptly, but everything from then on went down hill. The waitress brought an incorrect drink order, our dinners arrived before our soup ( New England clam chower which was more pasty than... more

We ate there twice recently. Crab cakes, catfish, and mearloaf very good. Pork chops a little too well done, small. Veggies are small portions. Service was really good first time, fair second time. Pleasant atmosphere. Prices okay. My wife made the mistake(?) of ordering dessert "Chocolate Stuff", saying "a bowl". Definitly recieved a Bowl. Was very good, but enough for... more

This place is so good. The only bad thing is that I ate so much I felt full even the next day! I got the she crab soup, shrimp and grits and chocolate stuff (sooooo good). Can't wait to go again :-) Sides are awesome too! more
