The Barn

Yesterday I mentioned some of my favorite OC restaurants, and it got me thinking about another one. The Barn.
The Barn was located in Tustin, on the corner of Edinger and Red Hill. It actually looked like a giant barn, but with several additions to it. It was basically a steakhouse. The employees there wore cowboy and cowgirl outfits.
I remember our first visit there, it was a Christmas party for my step-father's employer. I was 13 years old then. I remember at first being in awe of the place because it was big and there was so much stuff going on inside. The place had an upstairs area, but my folks wouldn't let me go up there. Later on in life, during other visits I got to up there, and it was a bar with pool tables.
Food-wise, it was pretty good. They gave you big portions. I always ordered the salad bar to go with my steak.
My wife and I used to go there once in a while, and one of the companies I used to work for held employee birthday parties there.
The Barn closed up something like 7 or 8 years ago. I don't know if it moved to a different location, or just went out of business. I think they finally tore the place down.
