    My best friend and I stopped here for a very needed girls night after a longgggg work day and it was such a vibe! The atmosphere was perfect—great energy, music that set the mood, and a trendy yet chill setting. We tried a little bit of everything since we read the reviews and settled for the jerk chicken, tacos and wings, and the curry goat. Every dish was REALLLLLLY GOOD. The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor and wasn’t too spicy which we liked, the tacos and wings wad a good starter, the curry goat was tender and delicious. The drinks were trendy and tasty—definitely a highlight of the night. Whether you’re out with your bestie or just want good food and drinks, this spot won’t disappoint. We’ll absolutely be back.

    Outstanding. This was our 3rd time at the Barnyard. It seems that each time, the food gets better. The Jer Chicken tacos were fantastic, and Jerk Chicken dinner was the best. My wife had the Rasta Pasta. She loved it. The Barnyard has quickly become our favorite spot.
