Don’t go

Group had pulled pork sandwiches and nachos. On table was extensive list of outages- mostly bottle beverages (only was soda served). Pork was barely smoked. Sauce you add at table was good. You could add chips to the sandwich for a $1- tiny BAG of...chips, off brand. Nachos can’t even be described as nachos. Really small paper container, few chips then pile of pork on top and COLD shredded cheese piled on really thick. Side sour cream and we left off jalapeños. Cheese so thick and cold didn’t even melt over semi warm pork.More

Good and bad.

Went there for BBQ ribs and a Baked Potato, the opposite of what you’d think. The ribs were so dried out and all you get is ribs, nothing else unless you pay extra. The Loaded baked potato was huge and great value for money, there...is not a lot of choice in Lynchburg but compared to other ribs these were below par. Staff were friendly and reasonably process, ribs of that quality not worth it. Make the right choices. ☺️More

So so so good!

Highly recommend Barrel House BBQ. Food was amazing and we had excellent service. The Grilled Cheese Crack Jack is so delicious, we ate until we were stuffed. Don’t pass on visiting this place. The potato salad and baked were awesome too.

Best Barbecue Sandwiches

This is the second time we ate at here and it was just as delicious as I remembered last year. I had the pulled pork/cheese/ Crack sandwich (no, not real crack...cmon it is a family place) and the sweet potato casserole. It was delicious and...the pulled pork was so tender. If we are in the area it is a must. Don't miss out on this gem. It is reasonably priced as well. It was harder to get a seat inside so just like last time we sat outside. Just had to let the hostess know and after a short wait, our order was in etc.More

Perfect Lunch after Visiting Jack

A complete experience that we were looking for. A classic outdoor setting. Great bbq feed (sausage and pork on crack). Spot on service. Highly recommended.

Best Pulled Pork BBQ

Wow! By far the best pulled pork I’ve ever had! We had pulled pork crack sandwich, ribs, loaded baked potato, banana pudding dessert! Hubby loved the ribs juicy fall off the bone. The potato salad was awesome! Really great portions for the price! We were...there for lunch. Very delicious! Put this on your next meal stop especially while visiting Jack Daniels Distillery Tour! 5 stars hands down!!!More

HORRIBLE

Took forever to be waited on and when we finally were our food came out over an hr. Everything was cold and the crack sandwich had congealed cheese. Tasted like ass crack…. The entire experience was horrible. DONT Go!!!

Rough around the edges, but good!

Seemed to be the only place open. Place fits with the area. BBQ was good and so were the sides! We had pork and chicken and both were tender and flavorful. Good place to eat in Lynchburg!

Great lunch after Jack Daniels distillery.

My husband enjoyed the cracked sandwich with pork. I had the sausage wonderful. Side split was potato salad yummy. The place was busy as hell ! Outside was available. But we went inside so cute and funky fun decorations. Fast food service and BEERS TASTED...GREAT ! Nice place to enjoy yourself. They Las sell barb-q sauces which were fabulous as well. I regret not buying a couple of them.Thank you for an AMAZING ENJOYABLE TIME IN LYNCHBURG. The dry county.More

Nothing about this place is like a chain restaurant. It’s great and a quick lunch if you are headed to the Jack Daniel’s tour.

Ribs not up to par

We split a full rack of ribs for a Sunday lunch. Ribs were dry and lukewarm and pricy ($30+) Atmosphere had writing on every imaginable surface and created an almost dingy appearance. Out of unsweet tea and soft drinks were Pepsi products in the plastic...bottle. Did not try Grilled Cheese sandwich.More
