First time at The Simpsons and I must say it was excellent!! My husband and I had no regrets. The food and drinks was the best so far in all the Jamaican foods we ate in Brooklyn. The server was always checking in to endure all was ok , never felt ignored . Was recommended by a friend to us and we already started telling friends to check it out.

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.
