Barbara Jean's is the closest thing to my mom & grandma's home cooking as I have had since being away from home! I've been there 20+ times with my husband & 2 year old and have never had a bad experience! Prices look a little steep the first time, but for the amount of food you get, it's incredbile! The...

My opinion is that the food IS NOT all that great! The crab patties need more real crab meat to be called crab patties. More

Ok but been once and that was enough. With so many seafood places in the area to have a bad experience its just not enough to make me want to go back. More

You can't beat Barbara Jean's for reasonably priced and tasty food. I love the 5 oz. crab cake, squash casserole, and cheddar grits for $13.99. The staff couldn't be friendlier. In fact, they came to my rescue when I locked myself out of my car, by looking up the OnStar number and loaning me their phone. Within seconds we were... More

Wonderful food, consistently good. Their breads are excellent, as is the she-crab soup. I usually order country fried steak with cream gravy and 2 veggies (the squash casserole is almost as good as mine!) but the meatloaf is equally delicious. The service is prompt and courteous. More

We started with crisp, thin onion rings as an appetizer. Excellent! The crabcakes were well done & very tasty with a generous portion of coleslaw. Salmon was very well seasoned & grilled, and the squash & tomatoes were both succulent. We ate early so the place wasn't busy yet, but every waiter & waitress checked with us as they passed.... More
