Nothing says ‘down-home Southern cooking’ like a tiny hole in the wall in the South that has a lot of cars out front. That’s precisely what you’ll find (and more!) at the Barnwood Grill in Anderson, South Carolina.

If you can't judge a book by its cover, then this little eatery proves you also can't judge a restaurant by the way it looks. This tiny-but-mighty eatery is a favorite among locals, who often include a stop at the Barnwood in their daily routine.

And who wouldn't... when the food is this good? The above bowl of goodness is called the Barnwood Trash Bowl. It's served with a Barnwood signature Clemson orange biscuit and trust us, it's all as good as it looks!
The inside of the Barnwood Grill is every bit as unassuming as the exterior.

The no-frills restaurant brings out the best in just about everyone. In nearly every review you'll ever read, aside from raves about the food, you'll find that people go on and on about the friendly staff and wonderful service.
The Barnwood Grill is open for breakfast and lunch every day except Sunday. And whether your preference is to have a late breakfast or an early lunch, you're sure to love whatever you order.

And don't you worry if there are a lot of cars outside when you arrive. The food is so good people are willing to wait.
But you may not have to wait long, because Barnwood Grill has additional covered seating inside the "chicken coop" just steps away from the front door of the restaurant.
