    Was late to reservations, but luckily made it in time prior to a large party arriving. I tried their fresh juice. I enjoyed the French toast. They give like 2 pieces of bacon. The grits with cheese wasn't bad. Needed a little pepper. Alcoholic drinks were good. I would go back to try dinner.

    Rasta pasta with chicken

    Let's start with the very positive the staff and people are very nice helpful and on point down to date it's like talking to my boys the service was great the provided good feed back and was on point about the menus and the drinks. Talk about the drinks that turn up was turned up they said I'm bold and they was right it was a hit strong but good took my time with it strong but very good. Now the part I hate the food this my second time here first was good this time food was a tad bit salty not only mine but most of our food was it wasn't a good day for the food but everything else was amazing. On this day I had the curry chicken to salty for my taste and the oxtail empanadas as well but I would go back and try it again I'm 1 and 1 on the food so I need a tie breaker

    This is my 2nd time at this establishment. The first time was for brunch and it was great. The 2nd time was for dinner and we celebrated my friend's birthday. The staff are amazing. Great personalities and really kind. I have it a 3 this time because the food was super salty. I love great seasoning, but I could feel my blood pressure rising so I could not finish it.

    My family and I visited this establishment for Mother's Day, and there was a larger crowd than expected, so the wait to be seated was longer than we anticipated. I'm not sure if everyone had a reservation, but it was a bit of a frantic start to a day of celebration. Yes, our party was seated later than expected, but it was understandable. The owner was on top of things and allowed the older members of our party to be seated at the bar until our table was ready. She was pleasant, professional, and more than accommodating. Adjustments had to be made as they were short-staffed, but our waitress provided excellent service as things progressed. There was never a moment when we felt rushed. The space is welcoming, beautiful, and well put together. I loved the decor, as it instantly transported us to the islands. The food is delicious, worth the wait. The Shrimp & Grits and The Barnyard Rasta Pasta w/Chicken were as good as others among the comments have said, I agree- on point! The waffle was light, fluffy, yet crispy (I just wish it was a little warmer). I would also recommend the Tropical Punch, a nice addition to my meal! Everyone loved their food, and the DJ for the brunch hours was great. We had to get his card. We plan on coming back to try the lunch and dinner menu. If you're looking to add a new brunch spot, this is one to add.

    Plantain pancakes

    Came here for a Sunday brunch and we were pleased. "T" and Shaday(forgive the spelling) were very nice taking care of all the tables. Our reservation was honored and we were promptly seated on arrival. There was a dj playing great music while we indulged in the bottomless rum punch (which did the job). We enjoyed Rasta pasta, wings, and plantain pancakes, as well as the Mac and cheese. All was well, the only drawback was that the Mac and cheese came out long after everything else, at that point we actually forgot we ordered it. Nonetheless we do recommend this restaurant.

    The food is AMAZING! It's prepared fresh with a lot of love and soul. The service is friendly andknowledgeable. The ambiance is fun and creative. I'll definately be back!

    French Fries
    Tamara R.

    Let me start with this... the warmest, friendliest waitstaff and hostess around. At least for Saturday Brunch they were. The music was low so it was very easy to talk. The food: Plantain pancakes had an interesting aftertaste that I can't place. It was good but maybe too much unripe plantain in the mix. The island chicken & waffles were good! Waffle was fluffy not heavy and the chicken was well seasoned Side of bacon: exactly 2 strips- expensive for what you get The fries were pretty good Cocktails: Chez Negril- BOMB! Buffalo Soldier- not like Mom made. Quite bitter. My family used condensed milk. This one is straight up Guinness & Milk- the spices do not include sugar or any sweetener I was pretty disappointed that the Brunch menu does not offer any appetizers. They're not at all available to order either. I think I'll hold off on Brunch and try Lunch or Dinner next time.

    Weekend brunch menu
    Vivek B.

    Interesting take on Caribbean soul food! The weekend brunch is a good bet with bottomless pitchers and different menu items as compared to other restaurants in the farmingdale area. Nice interior and good service make a good overall package.

    I returned to the barnyard for a birthday brunch with friends. We were a party of 20 and the establishment accommodated us well. There was a DJ there playing classic R&B and popular hits many can sing along to. The waitress did her best to organize our orders but you can tell she needed help. She had a can-do attitude and managed to check in frequently with us. The most popular choices were chicken and waffles, chicken wings, ackee and salt fish. Their rum punch was a huge hit at this event because the waitress suggested a shot of wrey and nephew rum. Overall great afternoon filled with laughs and good company and sing along music.

    Mac & Cheese

    UPDATE I decided to give the place another try BUT instead of takeout this time I decided to go in person and I'm glad I did. I have to say the service and hospitality of the restaurant was absolutely welcoming, warm and inviting. The owner was so friendly and pleasant. The food in person was so much better, tasty and had really delicious flavors which was contrary to our take out experience. The place is cozy with a very nice vibe. I'm glad I gave them another try.

    Chicken and waffles

    Great spot for groups! The chicken & waffles were . Will be back for the wings next time.

    Lunch menu
    Apryl H.

    I went for lunch with 2 of my friends. The curry chicken was really good. I wanted more. . It was tender and not too spicy so you could really taste the food. The roti was a little too doughy for me. The martini was good but could have had a little less passion fruit. Our server was very nice and hospitable. The wait time for food was a little lengthy but the server made it worth it. It was very clean and a nice ambiance in the restaurant.

    Jerk chicken with shrimp

    Food was terrible. Went in for pick up and waited over an hour for the jerk chicken and white rice combo.Then to tell me they don't have anymore white rice for my second order. after an hour is when they realized? Payed over $70 for hard rice at that and the portion wasn't worth it. I will be going back to Angie soul house for all that drama. Ambiance is small and not really made for dine in for real. First and last time cause the food didn't even make all that nonsense worth it.

    I placed a DoorDash pickup order for dinner at home and showed up on time. I went straight to the…read morecashier and let them know I was there for a pickup. There was barely any acknowledgment. I stood there waiting while two bags sat on the counter. I assumed neither was mine since someone else came in and picked one up. About ten minutes later, after continuing to be ignored, I showed my app to someone else and they finally checked the bags and handed me my order. The lack of customer service was hard to ignore. For a good ten minutes, no one seemed to care that I was standing there waiting for a takeout order. One person was focused on their phone while the others were chatting and standing around. The food itself was good. The pernil was tasty and the portions were generous. However, I specifically requested black beans and instead ended up with a plate of rice, which was disappointing and showed a lack of attention to the order. The food quality is there, but the customer service is basically nonexistent. I would not come back to this restaurant again.

    The food was good. Even tho i waited soo long for my dish. My guys all got there plate and…read morefinished. I didn't even receive mine til afterwards. Had to eat alone and rush because we didn't have much time for lunch. Anyways, it seems cool, I dunno... makes me think differently, didn't even get an acknowledgment that my order was going to be out late or even an apology for it being. Welp! It's all good.
