The Barn is a unique place located in a small town just outside of a rural area. The Barn plays up the hometown country setting with a beautiful location. The Barn offers two types of meals; a sit down restaurant and a buffet service. The buffet is only Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am only able to review the buffet... More

On my way to Wooster for a business trip, I drove passed The Barn and immediately turned around because of how interesting it looked. My co-worker and I had lunch: hamburgers - batter fried green beans and the Soup and Salad Wagon. The burgers were a good size, not too big and nicely cooked. The bread bar that came with... More

Fun place for anyone. Lots of dining space; they do not take reservations but you can call ahead to let them know your seating needs before arrival, then they work around getting you in. They do family-style serving only for banquets, which space must be reserved, then there is an extra service fee and limited but generous menu. Check out... More

6 of us met here on a family trip and it was wonderful. Those of us who arrived an hour early had no trouble whiling away the time feeding the ducks and relaxing by the pond. The landscaping was lovely with a gazebo, benches and miniature covered bridge. It is obvious this really was a barn once-upon-a-time, but it has... More

Good looking old barn converted to a restaurant. The food is basic and good and a family can have a good meal for a modest amount of money. Nice salad and soup bar. The BBQ ribs were okay but oven baked ribs with commercial sauce doesn't cut it for a boy from the south.

We stumbled across this restaurant one day while taking a roadtrip with our seven children. We are always looking for something unique and interesting, so we gave it a whirl. It is a huge place, with plenty of seating, especially for a large family like ours, which is sometimes hard to come by. THE GOOD: It's unique in that it... More

This is place that you could spend half the day. The delicious dinning experience can be just the beginning. Brows the shops before of after dinning. Soup and salad from the salad wagon never disappoint. Fried chicken on the buffet downstairs never disappoints either. It's also a great place for pie and ice-cream. This is a kid friendly place.

I originally wrote a review back in 2010 and at that time I gave the food a terrible rating. At that time, it was a review of the buffet in the lower level. Recently, I dined upstairs and had the salad wagon and soup/bread. First, the price was $9.50 which in my opinion is way too high. I think the... More

We go to the Barn every opportunity we get. They have a great salad wagon w/ soup. This this a refurbished barn turned into a restaurant. If you're lucky you can get a window seat that overlooks the pond. Bulk Food store, Toy store and Gift Shop on premises.

This place has the best atmosphere..As for the food, it's ok. The salad bar is great, it comes with the soup and bread bar. There is a buffett in the basement, but it only operates on weekends I believe. Our family goes here once in awhile, and I went there a lot growning up. If you are from the area... More
