But once you head to the area, which is a mix of rural and suburban, you can't miss this big red barn, a building that has been a fixture in the area for years. After it tried its hand at a few other businesses, the restaurant opened to much anticipation. The charming country setting brings much of the appeal, as does the atmosphere and laid-back vibe.
The interior of the barn is large, open, and rustic.
