Birdlives Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I was talking to my mother on the phone the other day (They retired to CA) and mentioned this chain and she had no idea what I was talking about. You still see the old buildings all over the metro area now changed mostly to independent fast food joints, but still with that distinctive "barn" look. I was surprised she didn't remember this place I as remember going there more than once as a kid. Does anyone else remember this place? Or am I just going crazy? EDIT: Guess I'm not crazy, at least, not as crazy as these guys :laugh: . http://www.barnbuster.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I absolutely remember...I grew up near 7 Corners and we had one nearby back in the early 80s. As I recall they specialized in fried chicken. I ate there a few times as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan44 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, I remember Red Barn. There was one in Gaithersburg, MD back in the 70's and 80's that I use to go to, but it is gone now. They had great fried chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to have the good sense to order a steak but I do recall it had a cool atmosphere. Kind of dark and cozy. I remember some lawsuit, over food poisoning or something in the news, then they just disappeared. Not sure the extent that one had to do with the other. As a kid, I remember playing with the little jukebox at each table at the Horn & Horn. *** Anybody remember the Hot Shoppes cafeteria restaurant? The big trays and the strawberry shortcake. My grandmother always got the liver and onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
