Barnwood Grill

Best jalapeño ranch sauce I’ve ever had. Fantastic food and nice people. Homemade chips are crazy good. Check this place out if you are hungry.

Barnyard grill has great portions and awesome food. Don’t let the appearance both ya, it’s worth the stop.

There is a reason why you continue to see 5 stars over and over in these reviews… YES it is that good!
Sure the outside appearance might cause you to give it a second thought but put on those big girl/​guy panties and march your butt inside. They do not disappoint!
The food is the real deal, home cooked, locally sourced and flippen tasty. Sure it may take a bit longer then you would like, but honestly, good, freshly cooked food takes time. It’s well worth the wait.
As many others have said, seating is very limited. The way I liked to look at it was heck we are all friends here so if it’s a little snug, eh so be it.
I ordered the Trash Bowl for breakfast and hardly could finish half of it. I’m a bacon lover all the way but wish I would have read that the sausage was locally sourced as I would have surely gotten that instead.
My man got the biscuits and gravy, which of course I had to take a taste of.
Biscuits are delish! and I love that they grill them, such a nice touch and adds a bit of crunch which I loved.
I had plans to go back for a burger but sadly I was filled up for the day from just breakfast.

Must try if you’re in near Lake Hartwell.
By far the best place to eat. The breakfast is amazing. If you haven’t tried the trash bowl then you’re not living right. Best southern/​south western breakfast in town. Amazing service, the ladies at Barn Wood will take care of you.

Delicious country breakfast with coffee, free-​range eggs, bacon, grits, and a gigantic made-​from-​scratch biscuit with a side of gravy for less than $ 7.50??? This is my new go-​to place when I’m relaxing at the lake house and don’t want to cook.

Every trip to Lake Hartwell includes a stop at Barnwood! Their breakfast sandwiches never disappoint, and if you’re super hungry go for the Trash Bowl! The J. Davis sandwich is a BLT on another level with the addition of perfectly fried eggs, and the Chef’s Wrap is perfection with spicy chorizo and fluffy scrambled eggs. If you stop in during lunchtime, try the homemade potato chips with their jalapeño ranch sauce — it’s so addictive! Speedy and friendly service every time!

This place was delicious! I went for lunch and got a cheeseburger that was cooked perfectly. It’s right next store to a local produce stand/​market so you know everything is fresh. In fact, there were 6 dozen, farm-​fresh, brown eggs stacks outside on the picnic table! Must not have had time to bring them to the kitchen yet.
Not a ton of seating so get there early or eat outside/​to-​go. The décor is perfect for the south, and the sweet tea was delicious. I hope I’m in the area again so I can go back!

Two eggs, a MONSTER farm fresh sausage patty, home fries, and a biscuit for $ 5, tax included. (You can get bacon/​grits/​toast instead.) Need I say more?

The breakfast is phenomenal go there couple times a month big biscuits farm fresh eggs great people to talk to.

Great hole in the wall joint. The burgers were incredible, can’t wait to try breakfast.

Huge burger served fast, hot and fresh. Skip the fries and get the house made chips and cole slaw.

Exactly what you want it to be. Small lunch stand along side of small farmer market, with indoor and outdoor seating. Really good ingredients. Worth driving out of the way for.

Aw all around. Serving local coffee and farm fresh produce. Only caveat is they are very slow.

Barnwood is my Saturday place to go eat! They have the best breakfasts with home fries and their hamburgers are the best I’ve ever had. After finding out who supplies their beef I now buy from the same farmer that provides their grass fed beef as the breed he raises has a better flavor to me than others I’ve tried. The ingredients are always top notch, the food is fantastic and very affordable in my book! They are very creative with their offerings and we look forward to the specials each Saturday — but I usually wind up with my fave hamburger steak, fries, and fruit cup. The Carolina Caviar is not my cup of tea but many people love it (black-​eyed pea salad) and their home-​made potato chips and french fries are to die for! Enjoy everyone!

So we were scoping out highly rated places on Unilocal and, well, FIVE STARS is pretty high, eh? Anyway the place is a little out of the way but easy to find. Be prepared, it’s a dive. When you get there, go on in … Honestly, we thought about backing out and going home but braved it, girded our loins, and went on in. No need to be afraid, it’s all good, great southern hospitality.
Burgers were excellent. Hefty, tasty, well prepared patties served on a well constructed, well prepared sandwich. I had the «Big Sexy» burger, a bleu and bacon burger on quality ciabatta. Wife had the Patti-​melt burger, cooked to perfection with grilled onions and melted cheese on a fine swirled rye. Well done, honest and quality food these were.
For sides we had French fries and Carolina caviar. Neither was in any way impressive but neither was bad in any way either.
Okay so after the shocking appearance, and after deciding NOT to ask where the restroom might be (none in sight), and after freezing our socks off (eating area is all of 300 square feet and had two doors to the outside opening on a cold winter day), and after the mediocre sides we were left with two resonating impressions… 1) Wow were those good burgers, and, 2) these girls are doing a great job with this place.
We’ll definitely be hopping by next time we’re in the area.

Definitely the best breakfast and lunch place on this side of Anderson. Always fresh, always good. And some interesting menu additions like Apple Soup every now and then…

Happened to be on the area and tried this little place for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by great quality food, including free range eggs that were delish! Lots of locals here, very friendly. Was told the sandwiches at lunch are huge.

For $ 6 you can get two eggs, bacon or sausage, grits or home fries, biscuit or toast, and a sweet tea! This place is great! I will be here at least 10 more times.

Outstanding breakfast! Two farm fresh eggs, local sausage, home fries, and a monster fresh made biscuit all for $ 4.25. Best ever. Will never pass this place up without stopping again. Can’t wait to try the local burgers too.

I’ve been putting off saying this because it is by now cliché — but —
Best burger in this town.
If you live here you’re going to make a skeptical smacking sound and name your favorite burger place in town. Go ahead, get it out of your system. Hey, I’ve eaten those too and very likely enjoyed them.
But this is better.
Another reviewer has already said it — it’s the beef. You can dress it up however you like but the center of this thing is a delicious serving of grass-​fed beef. On a ciabatta bun. In seven or eight glorious incarnations.
What brings me back to Barnwood however, is the variety. I don’t need a burger every time out. Homemade chicken salad wrap? Sure! Wow– it’s delicious. ¼ pound frisco dog? Perfect. Grilled pimento cheese (homemade, of course), love it.
And with a side of home-​style chips, too.
We can cover the breakfast another time.
Just — go out of your way and your schedule to eat here.
