"It was 1030 on a Sunday morning in October. We needed some brunch. Decided to check out Barksdale. Waited on line about 5 mins for a table, they were really crowded so you know the food had to be good! The waiter promptly took our drink order. I ordered a 2 stack pancakes and an All American. Definitely worth the wait. It was all good but loved the pancakes! Highly recommend this place for breakfast!!"

"In town for just a few hours before catching a flight home. We all wanted a good home cooked type breakfast. The reviews were good so we gave it a shot. It’s nestled in a neighborhood and you feel at home as soon as you walk in. Definitely a hometown diner feel. The service is great and I wouldn’t be surprised if these waitresses have worked here for 20 or 30 years. They were quick to greet us see us and move us along the dining experience. I got the two egg combination breakfast plate with biscuit and gravy and grits. Everything was really good. It came out hot and quick and you could tell that the grits and the biscuits were definitely homemade. The gravy had a different taste, but it was just different seasoning and I grew to love it. Definitely a great place to stop and get a very reasonably priced hot breakfast or lunch."

"Every time I come to this spot it's like coming home! The waiters are so kind and make you feel at home. Even the food tastes like grandma's cooking. I had the griddle cake with scrambled eggs and sausage and all I can say is my lord. The food had me slapping my knee it tasted so good. If you are ever in the area check this place out you will not be disappointed. This landmark just doesn't disappoint, they hit the mark every time."

"Amazing GEM!!! Classic diner and home cooking! Great service, fast and friendly. Go here! And go on Thursday for lunch, fried chicken day😂"

"FRIENDLY FACES! First time at this local eatery and it didn’t disappoint. Grabbed breakfast with my father a few weeks ago as he lives nearby. I knew they recently reopened from maybe a fire or other event. The lance was full but the turnover was quick. There was little to no wait. We each had the apple pie bowl with oatmeal, apple pieces and spices. It was very good and I was glad to see several healthy options on the menu. The coffee was fantastic! Kudos to the owner for not going cheap on it. Christopher did a great job serving us as well. I can’t wait to go back and try something new there."
