Old Fields Barbecue, located at 15 New St in Huntington, is a narrow, low-key outpost dishing out hearty BBQ meats & platters plus sides, beers & cocktails. This authentic Southern barbecue restaurant serves incredible smoked meats, delicious comfort food sides, farm-fresh salads, and innovative craft cocktails. The restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 out of 600 reviews on Google.
The Fried chicken (Boneless) is some of the best that customers have ever tried, and the cornbread is also some of the best around, served in a huge piece. The sauce selection is good, but some customers have recommended adding a spicy option. For dessert, the Peach Cobbler (the only dessert item on the menu) is a must-try, although it has been noted that it doesn't always come out warm.
While the BBQ meats have received mixed reviews, with some customers feeling that they were just average, the sides, drinks, and ambiance have been praised for their quality. The Beet salad is a small portion but filling and delicious, even for non-salad lovers. The Chicken sandwich is slightly spicy but good, and the drinks are decently priced. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, takeout, delivery, and kerbside pickup.
The decor at Old Fields Barbecue is rustic and comfortable, with a bar look and feel at the front entrance and a more laid-back atmosphere at the side entrance. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the music from the bar area (80s) adds to the ambiance. Near the restaurant, customers can find the Huntington Public Library, Heckscher Park, and the Paramount Theatre.
Overall, Old Fields Barbecue is a great spot for those looking for a low-key, authentic Southern barbecue experience. It's a good place for couples, families, and groups of friends, although it's not recommended for those looking for a business lunch or a place to be seen. The restaurant is also not the best option for vegans or those looking for healthy and organic food. However, it is a top dish in the neighborhood and a great place for a party or event space. Customers have noted that parking can be tough, but the restaurant is highly recommended for its quality food, drinks, ambiance, and service.
