We are from out of town and don’t have any good BBQ places. So when we came across this place I turned around and decided to give it a try. Which I am so glad I did.
Asher was very kind, very professional and very patient. My 3 kids and I had no idea where to start or what to get and he explained everything.
The food was amazing! Hot fresh and filling. They are pretty popular for their different kinds of sauces. We tried the California Honey-mustard a hot BBQ that my daughter loved and we are not big on BBQ sauces. If we come back we know where we will want to eat.
Thank you Asher for the photo and amazing service. You went above and beyond for a complete stranger.

Cute little barbecue joint. Great, fast service! We did the triple which includes chicken, brisket, pork, and Crack bites!! The Crack bites are delicious my husband said, I see why they call them crack, they're addictive 🤣 It also came with four sides , we chose - Potato salad, jalapeno creamed corn, coleslaw and pickled Slaw as well as the mashed sweet potatoes, they seemed to be missing something. Our favorite was the jalapeño creamed corn. Corn bread muffins were on point!! We will definitely be back and would recommend if your looking for BBQ in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area.

My Uncle's Ex-Wife's Potato Salad
Ate lunch there today as suggested by one of my employees. Had the brisket, crack bites, mac and cheese and coleslaw with the cornbread muffins.
Brisket: a bit dry but pretty good
Crack bites: a *MUST* try.. those were simply delicious
Mac and Cheese: same as the crack bites - a *MUST* try. best mac and cheese I've ever had.
Coleslaw: it was alright
Cornbread: pretty good as well
Service: great service. got my meal to go. all bagged up and ready to go in a timely manner
Sauce: had the bbq and honey bbq. both pretty good
Atmosphere: for what the place is meant to be, it was all good. it's not meant to be a large family diner/restaurant.
Will definitely suggest it to others if asked and will be trying the mac and cheese bowl with the crack bites next time I go there.

Corn Bread
My wife had a craft show at the local UAW hall and Blue Barn was set up there. I’m upset I haven’t tried them sooner. Brisket and chicken was absolutely delicious! We’d recommend them to anybody! Spoke with the owners and they were so nice and appreciative of our business. We’ll be back soon!

Extraordinary fork tender, juicy yet flaky brisket & perfectly marbled burnt ends smoked where you can can taste the variety of woods used in the smoker. Huge variety of sauces. The house bbq sauce stands above the competition but Kyle’ honey sauce was amazing fav with a perfect thick pour. Delicious mashed sweet potatoes, jicama slaw, & smoked gouda shells&cheese were all Micheline quality. 🏎👌🏼💎 served w fresh corn bread muffin & honey. You got to try out the Spring Grove soda pop! I got the lemon sour 🍋

Good but not great. The meat was very well prepared but the sides were lackluster. The staff was fantastic, however. They were helpful and jovial!

Great looking restaurant, friendly service.
Crack Bites (pork belly burnt ends) were great. Baked beans also spot on. Brisket was a touch dry but had great smoke and flavor.

We wish this place had a big dining area. The food, especially the meats, is incredible! It's kinda pricey, but you don't have to wait long, and you won't still be hungry afterward. Can't wait to eat from here again.
