The Legendary Barn Door Steakhouse, Odessa TX

It was birthday dinner and the service was fast and polite the food is the best and hands down the best place to eat in odessa

It had been years since I’ve been here with my family and recently my family and I gathered here for a get together. All of us walked away extremely disappointed. Our waitress was great and on top of things. I believe her name was Jasmine.

However, all of us were not impressed with the quality of food! The steak was chewy and dry as well as the ribs and everyone else at the table said the same thing about the items they ordered. No flavor at all and extremely overpriced.

They got rid of the cheese at the tables as well which was disappointing. They still offer bread however the bread was very dry.

Overall we were all disappointed in the quality of good! Service was great to be clear, but I wont be back due to the poor quality of food.

Quality of the food has gone down, steaks are tough, and service was poor. We tipped so not to be rude but had to wait for refills and anything else we asked for.

Great place, sat in bar and ate buffet! Food not bad, good service, bread Pudding is the bomb!

Service was amazing Laura was an amazing waitress if you dine in a definitely recommend her!

Never saw server after she took our order. Food delivered by the hostess. When finished eating asked the hostess for the check and said our server disappeared. To her credit she said they had given her too many tables. Did tip 20% but will not return. Food: Prime rib dry and chewy.

Zoey is such an amazing manager. I’m actually not sure what her position is but every time we go she goes above and beyond! The service staff is also typically very friendly and respectful. Workers that are genuinely happy to be at work and just happy people make all the difference in where we choose to spend our money and in the overall experience. The food is also amazing. I had the bread pudding recently and oh my goodness! The buffet options at lunch are also amazing.

The food was good however it wasn't until after we had received our food and had started eating that we were told about a power outage that had knocked out all of there systems and we could only pay in cash. Which then made me spend over 30 minutes to find a working atm to pay my bill. I also never received a bill since the system was down as well.

WOW! It’s been years since we have been here and I don’t know why. We had top notch service from Martel (the best we’ve had in Odessa in a while). Everything we had was delicious. We would highly recommend! We had bread with butter and the famous block of cheese. I enjoyed the steak bit salad which was huge! I was only able to eat half. My husband had the 12oz ribeye with a loaded baked potato. He also enjoyed the old fashioned with Woodford bourbon. All so worth it! If we were still hungry we would have gotten a dessert, but we were stuffed. Martel knew we enjoyed it and said I’ll see y’all tomorrow.

Great place to visit for a good steak or for their lunch buffet. We've been here many times throughout the years, twice this past month, and they are consistently good. Give it a try!

This was the worst food I have ever eaten in my life! I was excited seeing on the menu the “pan grilled” chicken fried steak since most places where we are from, Fort Worth metro they ask deep fry them. I was super happy to find a places that cooked it the right way! So when I got my plate first thing I did was take a hit of the mashed potatoes, the top of the potatoes was crystallized and crunchy like it was either not mixed from the powder potatoes all the way OR they were super old potatoes and had been sitting in the air. This was with every single bite that was in the outter part of the mashed potatoes. I was like okay well the potatoes aren’t mixed ir really old. Second thing I did was take a bit of the fried okra, another one of my favorites. Every single bite, every one of them, the okra was tough! How!? I loved fried okra and eat it everywhere I go that offers okra but here every single piece was tough! Like an uncooked raw green bean! I couldn’t figure it out. Sad face, as fried okra is my favorite and it was really disappointing. Last I cut of a piece of the dried chicken, again! Every single dang bite was tough! Ughhhhhhhhh! Every bite! So it wasn’t a fluke every bite was freken tough! I liked that the steak had very little breading and I can tell it was pan grilled…. That what was so sad. It could have been a really good steak but the was it was cooked or the cut of meat I don’t know it was so tough! Everything I ordered was horrible and I never complaine. I don’t leave reviews, I’m so laid back I most of the time go with it but here is the kicker, my poor husband who had a steak from here with me last night, got food poisoning and has been up all night puking. They really honestly just need to close this place day. It took our money, and made my husband sick. Just close the doors. Thank you, Bunny

Fantastic place for food. Under appreciated and under rated. Great for work lunches and team dinners!

The food was the worst I've ever eaten! I spend 80 dollars for bland steak that was too hard to eat the pie was gross and dry sides I couldn't even look at with how bad the rest was

We were driving through on our trip and just found it. It was a quiet night. We had a very nice waiter and everything was excellent.

It is higher priced because it's a steakhouse, and the portions are bigger. We split an entree and ordered an extra side along with salads. There is no way to eat all the food by yourself on a normal night, and traveling with leftovers in the heat is not easy.

I'm a huge fan of the Barn Door, but this time I was a little disappointed. The steak, although tasty, was a little under cooked, and the usual great service was a little lacking this time.
