In our Oregon trip we stopped by this little gem. They cooked all 6 of our burgers to order. The food came out hot and flavorful. I did add some salt but otherwise it was juicy!!! As always thank those workers for all the hard work cooking with love. Tip them good!

An absolutely delicious double burger with cheese. Thin fries were quite yummy as well. Great staff who actually cared if the food was good... and, yes, it was very much. Thank you. Unpretentious, old-style burger place, and better than any chain.

I can't believe I've never been here before! Neither the wife or I had ever had a peanut butter shake before....OH MY YUM! The burger and fries were perfectly done, we'll be back!

Service here was awesome! The burgers are good, the shakes are yummy. The fries not so much, but that could just be me because, I'm a crinkle cut type fry person. Love the fry sauce. The onions rings are some of the best I've ever had. Homemade. I give Barney's 5 stars. Great for a quick bite.

If you're in the mood for a classic burger feel and taste, you should visit this place. I always order the quarter pounder and it tastes consistent every time. Fresh crisp vegetables with a nice char on the burger leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Stopped in for a quick bite. I had the jalapeno pepper jack cheese burger. Extremely delicious! The shoestring fries are just as good! Support these guys as they are local & doing a hell of a job!

If you’re feeling hungry and nostalgic, look no further. This place is holding on to values from a better time where care and attention goes into putting together a burger, fries, and a shake. The burger itself was made from quality ingredients: soft bun, melty cheese, thin patties, with crisp fresh lettuce/veggies on the bottom. The fries had a strong showing too, with their strength being consistency. Each fry was golden, crisp, and looking like it was straight out of a commercial. There wasn’t a soggy, limp, or discolored straggler in the bunch. Just look at the photo I posted! The ambience was a fun, old-timey diner, which felt just right. The service was so-so, but I was there to feast, not get waited on. As a local, this has been my favorite burger spot. If something changes, I’ll update this review.
