Went here for the first time yesterday. It’s a large place, in a barn. Gravel parking lot. Restaurant was clean. I was happy that we arrived during happy hour and I could get a draft beer cheaper than a soda! We started with fried pickles which were hot and crisp. I then ordered the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes. Huge mistake. The meatloaf itself, although it was a large portion, was more loaf than meat. It tasted very«bready.» Easily among the worst meatloaf I have ever eaten at a restaurant. The potatoes appeared to be instant, and the portion was small. Potatoes cost next to nothing so serving a larger portion should be a no-brainer. The server was«average,» not overly friendly or talkative. I will likely give this place at least one more try, but it will not involve meatloaf!

Very country atmosphere, super clean too. Love down home country cooking and reasonable pricing was nice. I think I’ll dine there again. :)

Campbells Barn Restaurant is just that — a restaurant in a barn. It’s a charming, well-lit space, so don’t worry about any unsavory barn accoutrements here. As you might expect, they serve country homestyle fare. There’s nothing very innovative about the menu, but it is excellently prepared from what seemed to be fresh ingredients. Fried chicken an creamed corn top my list here. Usually, I find«country restaurants» to be generic and underwhelming– the lazy restauranteurs choice, if you will. But Campbells appears to have a passion for the food, and you can certainly taste it. Also, they have a nice, large space for hosting events, which they promote pretty clearly on the menu.
