    Delicious food. Nice to have a restaurant that isn’t so loud and you can have a conversation with your group.

    We are infrequent but extremely loyal customers of THE ABERDEEN BARN where dining with friends and enjoying the excellent service of Jim Rowe and James Brock aka BUBBA are guaranteed! Here is hoping that the Aberdeen Barn will last as long as we are alive! Grateful customers always!

    Aberdeen Barn is consistent in quality of food and preparation, stellar service and consistent experiences. In Charlottesville for over 50 years and family owned and operated, they have found the formula and stuck with it. James and Marcus greet diners, new and old, with smiles and a rich menu knowledge. Menu has something for everyone. You won’t leave hungry! And while the food menu remains, the wi e list is very good, often changing and has reasonable prices, especially for a Steakhouse.

    Just not what you expect from a Steak House in 2025. Food is not worth the price and knowledge of food and wine was underwhelming. Been here forever but past its prime.
