Food was ok, take from the bottom to get warm eggs. Selection was good & our waitress was good. The people at the omlet station need supervision, one was working 2 emplyees not so much. The girl making waffles was playing with her phone & sat it down on the prep table - cell phones are full of germs. That should not be allowed. There was a young man there talking and not doing anything.
A little on the bland side, but all-in-all very decent food. Great salad bar, as well as the selections of pies, cakes, etc.
Best buffet I've ever been too, about $18 to get in, and food is awesome
It Would be nice to have coffee refill. Took order then never came back. So disappointed no brunch
Very nice, food was delicious, staff were also great.
Food looked good ...Service was fast and friendly .... all the food was cold :(
The Old Barn ain't what she used to be. I am truly sorry to say that. The table that our waitness was assigned asked what we would like to drink, That was the last time she came to our table, not even a menu, not even mentioning the buffet, the various selections of the buffet. When we walked in, basically silence, no greeting , we wondered if the staff even knew we were waiting....like we were "invisible".
Very disappointing service. The food is fine~ good but the complete lack of service made this dining experience frustrating. Something is missing....the "spirit of the barn" has been lost , very sad to give a 2 star rating.
I'm hoping management takes care of waitresses that are less than helpful and caring. We still did top because it's the right thing to do.
Time to BOUNCE BACK OLD BARN!
They were busy. Took 45 minutes to get our food and it wasn't very hot. One person got the wrong thing and had to send it back.
Green beans and bacon? Had no bacon in them. It was ok. But needs improvement.
The best breakfast
Full helpings
This use be my favorite place to eat. Food was chewy and cold. For the price they charge they need keep up on bar. The best thing I ate was cinnamon roll.
I have going here for a long time. This was the first time since the the menu change. Service was great, some new and interesting items on the menu. Food was good. I had the the big gooey cookie, which was good, but could have been more fresh from the oven, it seemed a bit too cool. Good selection of beer. I was missing the old buffet, an dessert bar.
Awesome food. Love there peanutbutter cookies! Best I ever have
I was there with a friend recently. The website said they were open till 9. We got there about 7:45. The doors were locked. A couple just happened to be coming out. A waitress came to the door. She said their winter hours were till 8 or they close early if they weren't busy. The website said nothing about winter hours! They let us in reluctantly. We decided to get the buffet so we wouldn't take too long. We felt very rushed. After taking our drink order,they only came back to our table to bring the check. That's when they also asked if we wanted more to drink. There were other people still there. I would say they didn't know anything about winter hours either. Normally I love eating there,but this time the service was very poor.
.
Really enjoyed the dinner. Made me remember the old days.
the new place is wonderful and we enjoyed the experience
Food was excellent..service a little slow...wiil go back tho..
This place is an hour long drive from our house. We love it! The food is always great. The employees are very nice . It's a great place to go
The steak was amazing and the service was excellent!
They aren't quite Texas Roadhouse but they could be
I went there today with my lab from apollo career cenrer and the food was horrible as well as the service. One of the waitresses took my plate without even asking if I was done with it and my fork was still on it. Then another one of the waitresses assumed I had Pepsi so she poured Pepsi into my half full glass of root beer. When I corrected her on her mistake she got upset saying that the only dark drink that should be out was Pepsi as if it were my fault that I had root beer instead of Pepsi. I, as well as several of my lab friends, feel extremely sick to our stomach after eating there. I highly recommend to find a higher quality of place and go somewhere with a much better buffet and better service.
Love the look inside and out. Great food and so much to choose from. Well priced and friendly staff. Puts all buffet places to shame. Did I say I love It?
Great ambiance, beer, food, and AWESOME live music. Service is on point and attentive. Have the Moeller blueberry blonde if you like a light craft beer with some flavor.
food was good.good . A good variety of foods and desserts. Loved the blueberry softserve .quite environment. seemed short staffed took a while to get a refill. was clean and well maintained. Will go back again
Just went to the New Old Barn Restaurant and Grill and let me say it s a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE!! The menu, drinks and look of the place is totally worth the trip. The food was fabulous (deep fried deviled eggs-who d thought ?) and the bar area was really cool- didn t feel like I was in Lima Ohio. They have their own beer made especially for them from a brewery in Maria Stein that was my favorite. It s nothing like the Old Barn pre-COVID, so most of the negative reviews that are listed are before June 9th 2020. Well done- I ll be back!
Food was good, though not completely warm. Service wasn't the best. Waitress completely ignored us once she brought the bill and my husband had to hunt her down for refills.
Best brunch n dinner buffet in Lima. One of our favorite places to eat. Fast forward to now. I loved this place. Drove hour n a half to eat there. Was all around great place to eat,but recently the next generation took it over n did lot of change. They lessened the Sunday brunch to half the size n raised price. Took down all the decor n strung some lights across top of walls. Added a bar n patio. So much for the family dining theme. Hello bar. Will be surprised if it makes it a year the way it is now.i wont be back as well as few others I know. We enjoyed the family atmosphere not into bars. Think they changed too much too fast.
Brought me back to my style of home cooking when I was in Mississippi. Staff wonderful and made my family feel at home. Loved it and definitely recommend it if you're looking for comfort food!
The food is fantastic. All the employees are very nice and helpful. Most deffently going to be going back.
The food is always good. Always great service! The one thing I miss the most is the cinnamon rolls. You can still get them from the bakery but a box of 12. I don't need that many.
First, the remodeling looks great. The original look was cool too, just modernized now. I ordered the 18 Oz ribeye steak- medium, without ever having one here. So a $26 risk I was unsure of, but rest assured it was well worth it. Actually cooked correctly, seasoned nice. Nice, clean place and the staff is quick to keep your table cleaned and needs met. Hardly a wait, so this is a no brainer. Ethan was very helpful, put him through the ringer on questions, but he knocked em outta the park.
Great buffet style food,good food,reasonable price.
Nice cozy place with barn setting. We were there for a reception and it was pretty good
Excellent Sunday breakfast and brunch buffet!!! Friendly service!
Food was under cooked and cold. The food was not as good as it was previously. Will not go back.
The service was average but anything you could eat was terrible.the staff was caring but anything they didn't prepare in the kitchen was brought from the buffet.All in all wouldn't feed it to the raccoon living under my house. Wouldn't go back if they payed me. Even the cookies tasted worse than my hat.
The upgrades to the restaurant look amazing and staff was so friendly. We had a large party so we got a few appetizers and some flights of their local beer to decide what we wanted, they were all great! I really loved the fried pickles. Salad bar is smaller but selections are much higher end and staff was great at helping. We ordered the ribeye and let s just say it was the best steak my husband ever had! Cookie in the cast iron skilled just finished off what was a great meal! We will be back.
Place was filthy, food was abismal, never will go back or recommend..Rather eat a Peanut butter sandwich..
Food and service were good. 1st time we had been there in years. Will be back.
Home cooked. Delicious. Great
waitresses
Heard a lot of hype about it the hype was just that hype not overly impressed . The price was a little high for all the hype it was given, then again it was just a buffet
Good if your in the mood for a lot of options and great quality food
Usually the food is very good, not the case today. Very little selection, of the selection items were not there. Of the items that were there they had been there for awhile and tasted awful. Plates were dirty and there were no bowls for the soup until we were leaving. Will not be going back anytime soon.
Very tasty food, lots of choices and great staff. I will definitely eat here again.
Poor service,food was awful,such a disappointment,previously this was one of my favorite restaurants
Good selection of breakfast and lunch ( and tasted great also ) buffet items. Really like their cimonom buns. Waitresses were excellent, we was in a large group and they were on top of things.
Wonderful food+ might make this a family dinner each Thanksgiving! Perfect for our large group of 14!!!
Sunday brunch will never be the same. Absolutely the best food, service, and price. Well worth my 50 mile drive.
Delicious food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere at a reasonable price.
there was not much variety. Overall, too expensive for the food. I would not go there again.
I'm not a buffet guy. But this is no ordinary buffet. Most places with dinners and desserts this good put Amish somewhere in their name. All the food is cooked up fresh. The soups and desserts scream homemade! And the atmosphere is quaintly unique.
We've went there for years and never been disappointed. Can handle all sizes of crowds too.
The food is just like Grammys! The service is friendly and prompt. And the bathrooms are clean. There's not much more you could ask for in a restaurant. You'll want to get there.
Great Buffet! Home cooked food. Been there many times. Looking forward to going back.
We love this restaurant. They have great ribs, and their own recipe bbq sauce is the best in town!
Great food excellent service, good prices, it's a winner!
I was in town for my uncle's funeral they provided excellent customer service very sweet waitresses they were awesome to our entire family
