Pretty darn good bar-b-q. Friendly staff that will help you with your selection (there's a wide variety of things to munch on). Would definately go back upon my return to Savannah. more

This place has great BBQ at good prices. I had the Redneck Reuben sandwich which was delicious. The dipping sauce was the icing on the cake. Great atmosphere and service I would recommend this place to anyone with an appetite for BBQ. more

To be perfectly honest, we were on vacation from northern Ohio, and had planned to have lunch at another Savannah restaurant. We could not get into that one, therefore we began searching for another place to eat, and within walking distance of the downtown riverwalk area. Barbeque did sound good to everyone, so we decided to eat at Barnes express.... more

The staff is AMAZING and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The food is so good and the portions are too. The pulled pork is done perfectly every time we go. I can't say enough about the pulled pork and the flavor of the green beans, I'm licking my lips just thinking about it! Their BBQ sauce is one of... more

Recently, my family and I visited Savannah for the first time. Barnes Express was our first stop. My wife had the rotisserie chicken sandwich. It was completely unlike anything we had ever eaten in a chicken sandwich. The meat was so tender and flavorful to the point of decadence. My sweet Savannah Fried Shrimp basket was equally good. The portion... more

Barnes does it again with this new downtown BBQ joint. Everything was just fabulous. The pulled pork is cooked in a pit chockfull of hickory and oak wood - making it absolutely tender and succulent and aromatic. The fried chicken is massive and SO juicy and crispy. Knocked my socks off! Try the collard greens or mac and cheese as... more

Great BBQ

We searched for over an hour for BBQ in the downtown area. Just as we were giving up we spotted Barnes. Upon entering the restaurant we discovered a rustic yet clean establishment. We were greeted at the counter by a true southern gentleman, the first we had encountered after a full day in Savannah. Unfortantely he was out of ribs... more

I've been a long time fan of Barnes even when I was just a visitor to Savannah before moving here 11 years ago. Their chicken fingers are unequalled especially with the yummy honey mustard sauce. While I bemoan the loss of the Barnes near my home on the islands east of Savannah, I'm happy to be able to get a... more

Savannah has been needing something like this in the Historic District for a long time. Barnes has good bbq and seafood at modest prices. My co-worker and I tried them today for lunch take outs. He got the Pork Sandwich ($3.99) which came with a choice of side. The sandwich was huge. I got the three veggie plate ($5.79) and... more
