We had a wonderful experience at Barracos. Our server, Anna, welcomed us the moment we walked in and made us feel like family. She was delightful the entire evening and made the experience top notch. We had the shrimp and grits and wings and they were both terrific. I would highly recommend Barrocos for great dining experience.

We just moved to the area and figured we would give this place a go, and man, did it not disappoint. We tried the empanadas (beef and chicken). We like the beef best, but the chicken was great. We got the special, which was (Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, salad, and fresh baked bread. One plate was enough for 2 people. Our kid got the hot honey chicken tenders with fries. We loved everything we tried, and it was fantastic. We found a new spot to visit often. The place is decorated super cute and it is clean. The staff was friendly and super helpful. We will definitely be back! We also tried the desert it was fantastic!

Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Just a few minutes off I-95, beautiful patio under draping oaks. Don't think about it, just stop and try this local gem.

Delicious and cozy spot! The owners are super nice and amazing people. The empanadas are exquisite! Desserts are one of a kind! Especially the snickers cake!

Today was our first visit we’ve past by here several times and decided to stop and try it out. Let me tell you I had the Dinner special which was the Meatloaf and mash potatoes and salad, and the best dark gravy ever!! The food was so good and the serving was for two people. My husband had Lemon Chicken , loaded potatoe , and salad. My husband is a fried chicken connoisseur and he had I know about 12 pieces and he loved it. We will definitely be back for more. Please if you are ever in the McIntosh area here in Georgia please stop by . They also have many deserts , scones, banana bread with chocolate chips flan and more I believe the choices change . Alisa was our server and she treated us with kindness and the atmosphere is so nice . Look for the little blue house

I stopped in for dinner today and the food was Delicious. You can see and taste the Love that has gone into preparing your food. Very friendly atmosphere and staff is so nice, the owner and her Mother even came out to say hello. I'll definitely be back and I'm recommending them to my friends and family.

Chef Stephanie and her team catered a week-long private event and they were just amazing! The team put their heart into making our experience a special one. All the dishes were made with love and accommodated a variety of food sensitivities. They cooked with high quality, fresh ingredients and just knocked it out of the park. Working with Chef Stephanie was such a joy and her pride in her team and their food shows. Next time I’m in the area, going by Barraco’s will be a must!
