The Buckeye State has quite the culinary repertoire, with Ohio known for everything from fresh-caught fish and delicious BBQ to Cincinnati-style spaghetti and the breakfast icon known as goetta. Ohio also has a strong command of both regional and global cuisine, with everything from Amish and Polish to Pan-Asian and Mexican represented in the state. But sometimes, all you really want is an old-fashioned, country-style meal — no gimmicks or frills, just delicious comfort classics. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at The Barn Restaurant, a delightful dining spot located on a real Ohio farm.

Looking for a slice of the simple life -- and delicious pie? Head to Smithville, Ohio, to The Barn Restaurant.

As its name suggests, The Barn Restaurant is quite literally a barn restaurant; a remodeled old barn that houses an irresistibly charming and rustic dining room and banquet hall.
