If you love golden fried chicken, then Ron’s Barn is the place for you! Located in Sanford, Ron’s Barn is pretty much an institution in this part of the Tar Heel State. Some of the best fried chicken in North Carolina is found in this humble eatery.

Found on Horner Boulevard (a.k.a. Business 421), Ron's is an unassuming place with a building somewhat shaped like an old barn.

The expertly fried chicken has just the right amount of breading and seasoning. The chicken just may be the one item that inspires a return visit. It's that good!
