Drove there an hour away for the bbq jackfruit sandwich and their famous milk shakes. Tip: call ahead for availability. They had neither. Had the mushroom burger. It's aiiight. Could have found a better one locally. My finance had their what the cluck. Under seasoned, uneven toasted bread, breading in the chicken was falling apart, overpowering goat cheese dressing. Consider asking for it on the side for you to make the choice of how much to add. Sorry to say. Just won't be going back. Better tasting food in the East Bay. Have a pickle to address with "Bay Area check please" show next. read more

Great food. Love the outdoor seating. Clean and comfy. Got our food fast and people were nice.

Greetings from Half Moon Bay, California. This is Walt from Walt's Adventures and today I ventured to The Barn. The Barn, no doubt, had origins as an actual barn but has since been transformed into an eatery. They serve breakfast and lunch and have outdoor seating only but had covered and heated options. They have limited parking. We ordered and waited an acceptable amount of time for the restaurant was at maximum capacity. We ordered their fried Mac and cheese squares. These had me wanting more for their taste were exceptional. Their chicken sandwiches were both light but filled with flavor and their BBQ Pork sandwich was the best I have experienced. The milkshake that was consumed had us turning in an empty glass before we were done and even the straw fries, having the appearance of frozen beginnings, were not the case. Only freshly made fries could have given us the satisfaction that our fries had. The Barn is a gem worth traveling to and worth waiting for because like the restaurant's humble beginnings, those within their walls have dedicated themselves to excellence. read more

Outstanding hole in the wall place for food. Great food with lots of variety. Outdoor seating, but plentiful and well taken care of (i.e. cleaned up). Good beer and wine selection. Food made to order. Will be back on my next trip to HMB for sure. read more

Decided to try this place out after a morning hike in Half Moon Bay. We went right at opening and were the first customers there on a Friday morning! I believe they only serve breakfast on Fridays and Saturdays. The place itself is super cute and looks like such a nice place to grab food with friends and family when visiting. They also have a grass area for people to play cornhole and giant jenga! Plenty of tables for seating as well. My friend and I ordered the avocado toast with bacon and a side of scrambled eggs, breakfast burrito, and a side of fries. The avocado toast was on a perfectly toasted piece of sourdough and was topped with arugula, tomatoes, and pickled onions. I added bacon which they chopped into small pieces and put on top. The pickled onions were such a nice touch and I really enjoyed them! The breakfast burrito was also amazing! It has eggs, potatoes, avocado, and chorizo. Super filling as well. The fries were so good and tasted so fresh! Similar to in n out fries (for reference) since they're made so fresh! Would definitely come back and take more friends and family here! read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm sorry but I think this is a tourist trap Place The food 1/5 at best. The prices were absolutely crazy, Compared to other restaurants along the coast, the service also not the best at all. However, when I spoke to a few people, while waiting for my food. A lot of them are from out of area. I would never come here again. However, please do stop and try for yourself. read more

DO NOT GET THE FRIED MAC AND CHEESE unless you love eating a fried grease ball with zero flavor. the scenery was beautiful and the fries were nice and crispy, even the milk shakes were pretty good. but there is absolutely so flavor to any of the food. and it's way over priced. 3/10 would not recommend. read more

We were really excited to try this place after all the good reviews. Was expecting fun flavorful food. Especially for a the price the quality didn't match. I love spending more on quality flavorful foods. The vibe of the place is amazing just not the food. read more

My friends and I came for Sunday lunch at 1:30PM, and the line was short. We waited 30 mins for our food, a little long considering what we ordered. There is only seating outside and on picnic tables! The space and building is super cute! Parking is free and around the restaurant. I tried the barn burger with avocado ($14), mac attack ($7), chili bowl ($9), horchata milkshake ($9.5), and matcha lemonade ($4). Burger was solid, nice, plain, and simple. It was pretty big as well, so you'll definitely be satisfied. Chili was pretty good, a subtle spicy kick and hearty. Mac attack was our favorite. Each cube had a great crunch, and the mac and cheese was cheesy, creamy, and so yummy with the tar tar like sauce. Horchata milkshake was delicious but on the watery side, not decadent or thick. The matcha lemonade was alright; it was refreshing, tart from the lemon, and matcha flavor was apparent. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor combo and wished I got the ollalieberry instead. Overall, we had fun at the barn! Food and drinks were good, place is cute, and space is perfect for a weekend brunch. We would come back if we're in half moon bay again. read more

Was so excited to come here because the menu looks so good. Was actually disappointed in the flavors. The Mac and cheese attack balls were prob the best thing I had but that's kinda a reaching. The hot chicken sounded like it would be so good and spicy with all those flavors and it was over powered by the pickled jalapeños, and the spicy aioli had a funky taste to it I just couldn't put my finger on it. I came here over the summer and which there was more shaded areas in the larger table area. It's an order up at the bar and they give you a buzzer when it's ready. read more

I've been twice now and both times were a great experience! The Old School Pork (sweet) with crispy onions added is my favorite! Delicious, juicy and so flavorful. I also love the fries they're super salty, which I enjoy. The outdoor eating area is kept super clean with spots in the shade or the sun. The service was really fast even on a busy day, our food was ready less than 10 minutes after ordering. Also dog friendly and only a minute from Miramar Beach. read more

We had lunch at The Barn on a sunny day, which was perfect since all the seating is outdoors. We tried the Barn Burger, Mac Attack (mac and cheese bites), fries, and the sweet & spicy slaw (they let me do half and half). Overall, the food was very good--the mac and cheese bites were hot, cheesy, and crisp, though I thought a salsa or marinara dip would have made them even better. Fries were thin and crispy, similar to In-N-Out's style. The burger was juicy and fresh with a tasty sauce, and the lemonade was refreshing and full of flavor. I'd happily come back, though a few small tweaks could make the experience even better. read more

Would recommend again and again, but mainly for the French fries and the milkshakes. The burgers were nothing extraordinary. However, they were decently big and a very filling portion! The main stars of the show are the fries and milkshakes. The fries are crispy and lightly salted. I'm not sure what salt they use but it got us to come back within the next week . The matcha milkshake is matcha with vanilla ice cream. Not a lot of matcha, but it still tasted delicious and a nice treat. The affogato milkshake had the subtle hint of espresso. Both drinks weren't too overly sweet. The textures were on the milkier side instead of thick milkshakes! There is plenty of seating outdoors where you can enjoy the fresh air and scenery. There is parking both in the front and towards the back. We came on Sunday around noon and while it was decently busy, our wait was only about 15-20 minutes. Service is kind and the atmosphere was welcoming. read more

I don't have burgers very often so I try a new spot every time I decide to have one. I was not disappointed in the slightest when I pull off the road into this cool looking spot. They allow dogs outside and we had just come from the beach, so what could be better than a barn burger and an Arnold Palmer. It's a walk up counter that you order from and then there is a buzzer that alerts you when your food is ready. Quick service, both the cashier and worker at the pick up window were friendly. The barn burger was perfectly season and cooked to perfection. It was juicy, it was flavorful and it was one of the most satisfying burgers I've ever had. It really put a lot of burgers I've had in my life to shame. I was beyond happy I stopped here and so were my dogs because we always love a place that'll make plain patties for the pups. We sat outside in a nicely shaded area with plenty of picnic table space. I can't wait to visit again. I left very full and very relaxed. Sorry I'm very forgetful when it comes to taking pictures of the food read more

Great eats. Especially grilled cheese and soup. Olaliberry shake is so so good! Love the fresh lemonade too. Great comfort food.

You will not regret stopping here, in fact it may make your day at half moon bay! We stopped in thinking we would get a fancy burger and it outdid our expectations. First, the food was incredible. We tried the "Hot Farmer" burger and the "What the Cluck" sandwich and we loved both. These two were a perfect combo, very different but delicious. The Hot Farmer and a spicy sauce which gave it a little kick but not too spicy. The creamy goat cheese spread on the chicken sandwich was to perfection. We got a side of fries (that comes were their great ketchup - it is thicker and much better than the usuals) and a shake. You can't go here your first time without getting a shake! We tried the cookie shake and it was a caramely chocolate base with small chunks of cookie/brownie bites. SO GOOD!! There is no seating indoor but they do have outdoor covered seating. There is a "Beer Garden" just outside too with many picnic tables and lots of space for kids to run around. Staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean, the wait was a little longer than we expected but it was definitely worth the wait. Be sure to make sure they are open, they are closing for the next couple months in the coming weeks. read more

Went with my two favorite girls , my daughters Cute place , good vibes loved it and food was delicious

Amazing is an understatement! Had the burger and grilled cheese and the tomato bisque soup! Wow, wow.....yummy. Will return with the family

The beer garden is open!! So much more space to sit with cute picnic tables and an outdoor bar with fun music. My friends and I visited on a Sunday, and we ordered right before the line got really long around 12:45pm. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our food. The BLT ($13): Ooo the cashier really sold us on the BLT!! I asked her if she recommends the BLT or the Barn burger and she said "Are you getting avocado ($2) with the BLT? If so, always the BLT." I gotta say, she was right. I will still be back to try a burger because yay farm to barn!! Affogato Milkshake ($9.25): Best coffee milkshake I ever had!!!! Vanilla milkshake with a shot of espresso. YUM. Hefty price tag for a milkshake but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fries ($7): Their fries kind of remind me of In-N-Out fries for your reference. You get a very stuffed paper bag :) I was mad craving their chili (cup: $7.50, bowl: $9.25), but I knew I would be too full so I'll have to try it next time. We visited the pumpkin patch after and it was the perfect fall day in Half Moon Bay! read more

So yum! Delicious food, great outdoor seating (and they left blankets out because it was a tad chilly!), and friendly people. A great stop when heading to Half Moon Bay or more south, perfect for friends, family, or a date! read more

Eating lunch at The Barn has become our post-pumpkin patch tradition. They have 2 nice outdoor areas in which to sit & eat, and the barn & surroundings are prettily decorated in rustic farmhouse chic. Today was not a great experience. My mom & I stood in line for 45 minutes just to *order* our food. It took another 35 minutes to get our food. Thankfully the kids had eaten snacks just before we arrived & my husband brought a card game we could play to keep the troops from getting restless. Some of the food was actually better than I remember from previous years. My tomato bisque & husband's spinach salad were good. One kiddo's mac & cheese cubes were definitely more delicious than I remember, though the other's burger was only okay. My mom said her BLT was good (she finished it :) The two big minuses were our milkshake was totally melted by the time we got it with our food-more like chunky chocolate milk. And the worst? The thin strip of plastic wrap our younger found nestled into the burger. I know y'all are busy, but come on! Not sure we'd ever come back here, given the ridiculously long wait & plastic wrap burger. So disappointing! read more

It's ok. Busy place - nice beer garden, lots of picnic tables. Good beer selection. The guy that that took our order musta been having a bad day or something. Not friendly - like, at all. Whatever. Food was ok - nothing special. Had a burger and a veggie burger. Was still hungry after eating. Meh, I think there's better selections elsewhere. read more

The burgers were perfectly cooked, fries perfectly seasoned and generously packed---price was definitely worth it. The burgers taste fresh, juicy, crunchy in the right places (a light toasted bun+crunchy edges of the patty=decadence like you never imagined). Mimosa got me slightly turnt but still cordial enough to behave myself, super yummy. Cute eating area--the garden and sitting area in front of where you order are such a vibe+outdoor heaters and blankets covering the benches were comforting and such a vibe. Small gravel parking lot next to/behind shop tho. Great, quick, friendly service by the lil lady taking orders and serving up drinks. I'm coming back here with my family for my birthday--that's how yummy and satisfying it was after a day at the beach! read more

I ordered Hot Farmer Burger and it was delicious, the crispy fried onions were so good. I also really enjoyed the Mac Attack, probably the best fried mac and cheese ive ever had. Service here was great! They have outdoor seating available and it was decorated very nicely. read more

This place is a local favorite. Anyone driving through town, into town, out of town can't miss this place. It's a great spot to go to for a quick bite and great beers. They have farm to table salads. Always fresh and local. My favorite is their Caesar salad. It's full of flavor and they make their own dressing. I've seen them put it together. If you like anchovies this is the perfect one for you. Each one is made to order. My next favorite is their BLT. They choose Ciabatta bread for the vessel and it has a nice crunch. The bacon to lettuce ratio is perfect. You can even add their fried onions too!!! I recommend this if you want extra crispness in your sandwich. There is also a beer garden and they are pet friendly. Only note, no pets in the barn. Except if it's a service dog of course. They have local music and events there too. There is ample parking but be also be kind to the neighborhood around it. Miramar beach is right down the road. After your lunch or dinner you can take a lovely stroll to the beach to walk off your amazing meal. If you're in town or live here, run don't walk. You won't be disappointed. read more

Terrific friendly, comfortable restaurant with always great food. Everything we've eaten here was wonderful. It is all outdoors eating at Half Moon Bay, and The Barn has become our go-to place. Their original take on a vegetable burger is our favorite, and their fries and onion strings are beyond greatness. Cheerful staff. Good beers. Couldn't be better. read more

Tasty food and drinks, efficient service, and nice covered and uncovered outdoor eating areas with wood picnic tables and benches, blankets, and water bowls for dogs. This is a random observation, but their flower arrangements are gorgeous. read more

Well we wanted to drive somewhere to the coast to cool off since the Bay Area was suppose to hit almost 100 degrees hence thought of Half Moon Bay it's one of our favorite places to visit. We left by afternoon given the heat we knew there will be traffic on the way to HMB that was a wise decision we did got caught in traffic but still not bad at least it was moving steadily at 40 mph. We had heard about The Barn (thanks to Yelp reviews) so thought of checking it out. There are good parking spaces in front as well as backside of the restaurant. There is no indoor seating only outdoor but it's well shaded so didn't mind at all . We loved the outdoor vibe plus there are more seating at the Beer Garden too but it's not shaded. We stood in line which was a bit long so took some time for our turn to come we were ok with that since it gave us some time to check the menu board. Here are the things we ordered- 1) The Hot Farmer Burger (medium rare) - Pomponio Ranch burger local pasture fed beef from asan Gregorio served with all things special,white cheddar cheese,fried onion rings, tomatoes, arugula,dressed in our homemade Barn Buttermilk , made spicy with Barn special pickled jalapeños & sriracha aioli . We loved the burger it was juicy, flavorful, crunchy & not at all heavy burger bread was soft . Sadly I had to spilt it with my husband but next time I will have it all by myself... I loved it very much!!! 2) What the Cluck - 1/4 pound organic chicken breast marinated with lemon oregano buttermilk goodness prepared crispy or grilled served on Acme ciabatta with goat cheese, arugula, tomatoes & Barn made buttermilk dressing . We choose grilled chicken, sandwich was good portion size again we spilt the sandwich so it was not heavy for us only thing is we found it little bit chewy otherwise it was good. 3) Storm side Mac & Fry - It comes with Fries & 2 pieces of Mac & Cheese fried cubes. Fries was ok piping hot but little heavy on salt for us ( we prefer less salt) good portion size for us . Mac & Cheese fried - it was superb I absolutely loved it very crispy outside very soft inside again this was not heavy for us since we had 1 each. I am still dreaming about it. Darn it was sooo good !!! For drinks we choose Beer - Calidad Mexican style Larger & Hop Dogma IPA. Both were good the glass was small size but chilled which was sooo good given it was almost 80 degrees in HMB. I loved Calidad more then Hop Dogma IPA. Overall it was a wonderful experience the all female staff was wonderful & quick. They have bowls filled with water for dogs too which we loved it. Afterwards we went to see the surfers & stroll around the water overall it was a successful day!! read more

Good rustic place. Very comfortable outdoor atmosphere for afternoon lunch. Survive is basic, people working there seem nice. Food was okay. We had vegan jackfruit sandwich and the pretender sandwich with Mac attack side. Jackfruit bbq sandwich was okay. BBQ sauce is not my thing but I didn't hate it. The pretender is a vegetarian sandwich, was very nice. Mac attack- Mac & cheese balls were okay. Place seems a little on pricey side but considering the location they are not that bad. It's difficult to run a small business in Cali. read more

My boyfriend surprised me and took me here and we had high hopes. The pictures online made everything look good but we were extremely disappointed. The girl who gave us our food wasn't nice either. We got the pulled pork sandwich with sweet slaw, the barn burger, mac bites, and fries. He said the pork was juicy but it had no sauce so it was dry and the slaw was just cabbage and carrots slapped on. I got the barn burger and for 1/4 lb, I expected it to be kind of small but the patty was smaller than the bread and the lettuce was doused in mayo making the top bun soggy. The mac bites had no seasoning, they tasted like noodles- we couldn't even taste the cheese. It came with ranch but the ranch tasted like sour cream or cream cheese? The only thing that was good was the fries. The decor was meh, we're probably not coming back though. read more

I have driven by this place so many times coming back from half moon bay without giving it much thought. However, my coworker recommended this place to me so we decided to give it a try since it was on the way back anyways. The Barn is really cute! Theres an old barn where you can order and pick up food and a beer garden to the side where you can order drinks and food as well. We were pretty full so we just got drinks and the mac attack. The fiance ordered an IPA on tap and I ordered a peach bellini. I was surprised to see that they actually use peach puree before pouring the champagne. The mac attack is so good! It's salty, crunchy, and full of gooey mac and cheese. They also give a side of buttermilk dressing but I think the mac attack is really good on it's own already. I'll definitely be back to try out their burgers next time as I'm super impressed with this place! read more

The Barn - Mac attack with a peach Bellini! - Burgers Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

Came here for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. You order at the counter and then can sit in either one of their outdoor seating areas. I ordered their equivalent of a veggie burger and a side of fries. It was rather delicious flavor-wise but the patty was a bit dry. The fries were decent but nothing special and a little thick for my liking. Ambiance and service was great. My boyfriend loved his burger and sandwich that he ordered so maybe this place is better on the meat side of things. I'd give it a 3/5, but giving a +1 to a 4/5 since he enjoyed it a lot. I will say it is a bit on the pricey side, but portions are good! read more
