    Bread in the soup
    Marge M.

    The place has a really cool exterior and interior. There was a lovely fireplace, stained glass lights around the bar, and the restaurant sits on top of a hill with a nice view. Our waitress Jody was so sweet and pleasant. That was all great but the food and drinks were not hitting the mark. My espresso martini was just really coffee with vodka,no beans. The blackberry sangria was tastey but no fruit except the garnish on the rim. We had fried calamari topped chili sauce which was okay. The French onion soup did not have one onion in it. The lemon pepper salmon special tasted fishy to me but my husband thought it was just overcooked. I had the grilled chicken cashew salad which was okay although the chicken was dry, bland, and overcooked. This place has so much potential if the food had hit the mark.

    I could not recommend going to Barnyard enough if you live in the Totowa/ Wayne area. The service is top tier and the food is amazing. I especially loved the French onion soup (so warm and comforting) and the red velvet cake.

    French onion soup .

    Great French onion soup but wasn't crazy about my French dip. It had a weird taste but not like the meat was bad or anything but maybe the spices they used I just I didn't like it.

    Beautiful open patio just relax and enjoy nature

    Very excellent food tasty good environment very professional, beautiful outdoor scenery. A very hidden gem for the people in New Jersey here in Totowa.

    Chicken marsala
    Steph C.

    Very nice location, small eating area but nicely decorated for Christmas. There is a small fireplace Which is cozy for the winter. They give you complimentary bread. I ordered the chicken marsala with mash potatoes & vegetables, the meal was delicious. My friend really enjoyed the chicken parmigiana too. The waitress was friendly and very attentive. Plenty of parking. There is also an area where you can rent a hall.

    The bar

    Good service, the food was very tasty and good amount, the bartenders Stefano and Dan were amazing, so kind and attentive, I highly recommend this place, you can have table service or you can stay at the bar, I went there with my coworkers, I liked the atmosphere there a relaxing ambiance

    The red umbrellas did not made the sun more comfortable, but absolutely blinding. Don't say it's sliced rib eye steak sandwich and then hand me hamburger meat.

    Pretzel  comes with 4 sticks

    Alright, so Barnyard and Carriage House... 5/5 on vibe. Great outdoor food area, huge bar. You can watch the volleyball leagues playing. Great service, pretty quick too. Very, very limited vegetarian options (like bowl of lettuce or a veggie burger). And some of the food is pretty good and some is not. Didn't love the hot pretzel sticks (and hot pretzels are literally my favorite food), they were just really fried? Chicken Caesar salad was good salad for the salad and dressing aspect, but the chicken was pretty dry. Other friends at the table either loved their meal or didn't. But it was a real mix and that seems to be the case every time we come... hence the 3 star review. The vibe is enough to keep us coming back. Will try more dishes and maybe we'll bump this up to four stars in the future.

    Food is amazing, service is excellent overall a great experience, everyone leaving 1 star reviews are just a bunch of KARENS who are losers and have nothing better to do.

    Barnyard is a great place to hang out at when the weather is nice out - in fact, that is the only time I really come here. There is ample outdoor seating along with volleyball courts on the side (there are volleyball leagues that play here) which is actually how I found out about this place, a few friends of mine are in a volleyball league. I never sit inside, and I don't think I will ever. The food is pretty good - the usual American food, I always order a burger with fries. Service has always been very good - bartenders are very attentive. Ample parking in the lot. I'm looking forward to when the weather gets warmer again so I can come back :)

    Reception Hall
    James L.

    Stopped in this establishment for a change of pace. Wifey ordered a strip steak (excellent) arrived as ordered and with that wonderful grilled flavor. Wifey opted for grilled broccoli and a baked potato with of course, sour cream. My meal was a grilled sirloin sandwich with the best French fries I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Nothing special just well done and wonderful. Dessert was raspberry drizzled cheesecake. Everything was stellar including our server Luanne. What I didn't mention here was how pleasant and magnificent the patio here is. The tavern restaurant is low key but yet oddly upscale. Available here also is a large reception hall suitable for weddings, graduations bar and bat mitzvah. Simply perfect a location for any event.

Came with some friends on a Sunday afternoon --- was quicky seated, despite the restaurant being quite busy. We were greeted by the nicest server, Marissa --- who was very charming and helpful in our "decision-making". I asked Marissa to ensure we ate the apps first before receiving our entrees, and I have to say, everything came out in a timely order and the food was hot upon arrival --- and yes, delicious! For the apps, we got the beautiful looking Onion Ring Tower, and the famous Poke Nachos. For the entrees? All three of us got the same --- the Hot Chicken and Waffles. If you've never gotten it, you're missing out. That dish hits the spot. 10/10. Totally prefer this casual-dining spot to any of their competitors.

Good ambience for a quick date I like the diversity in the food. Overall would've come back again.

We did finally get drinks and shortly after we're told a table was available. It took quite a while before our waitress showed up. Since we already had drinks she was ready to walk away but we wanted to order a pretzel. She took the order, pretzel arrived more than 15 mins later, but it was delicious. It was good we had something to munch on cause our dinner, 2 burgers and a flatbread, arrived 45 mins later. The burgers were wrong, she said she had 2 Cali burgers. My husband ordered a cheeseburger, I did order the Cali. I took one, they sent the other back for correction. Once I went to eat mine I realized it was not a Cali burger. That had to be returned also. Both burgers were ordered medium rare, they were cooked well done. My friend did enjoy her flatbread. The manager did come by with a half hearted apology. She offered free dessert, we're not dessert eaters so did not accept the offer. Looking back, we should gave taken dessert to go. I wouldn't go back. I felt not one employee offered good service.

What arrived did not appear to have burrata on it, but instead looked like a different melted cheese. I called the restaurant and asked if they could replace the pizza. I was told a replacement was only available for pickup, and that I would have to place and pay for a new order if I wanted another pizza delivered. When I asked for a refund, I was told I needed to contact the third-party delivery provider because Dough does not process refunds for online delivery orders. I then contacted Toast, the platform used for the order, and was told they could not issue the refund and that I needed to contact the restaurant. I called Dough again, explained the situation, and offered to send a photo. I made it clear that I was not trying to get free food. I simply wanted the correct order. After being placed on hold, I was told that the melted cheese on the pizza was the burrata and that this was how they prepare it. I am including a photo because I have never seen burrata served this way on a pizza. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled was incredibly disappointing. I was passed back and forth, offered no reasonable delivery replacement or refund, and ultimately told that the pizza was correct despite what was delivered.

Sweet Thai Chili Shrimp Crispy, lightly battered, and more sweet than spicy. Portion was fair and the sauce avoided the usual sticky-syrup problem. A clean start. Chicken Ciabatta (grilled) + bacon Lettuce, tomato, muenster, spicy mayo -- all balanced well, and the ciabatta held up without turning into a workout. Bacon was the right call. Curly fries came out hot and properly seasoned, which shouldn't be rare but often is. Fish Tacos - Shredded lettuce, onions, lime, boom‑boom sauce, cilantro. Generous filling, a little messy in the way fish tacos should be. Lime kept the sauce in check, and the fish tasted fresh with no off-notes. Tavern 292 isn't trying to reinvent anything, and that's part of the charm. The kitchen hits its marks, portions are honest, and the flavors land where they should. A dependable four‑star visit.

We usually are seated for a full meal. This happened to be our 1st bar experience. There was a women working the bar that day, around 2:30 PM. Not only did it take her forever to acknowledge us (only 1 other party of 3 people in the bar), but while taking our order she was applying lip gloss. It's a little unsanitary I'm thinking. The she made and received a handful of phone calls on her personal cell AND is a loud talker. I guess I am getting old when I can't understand while someone who is at work thinks it's okay to make and take personal calls. Yikes! Management take not as to what your employees are doing in front of the customers.

Larry was very accommodating, and helped compose a vegan dish from the setup of another dish. He was considerate to recommend something that would feel "substantial" - something that I really appreciated. It's already a bit inconvenient to come up with a dish on the spot, but to go the extra mile by caring that it would be satisfying as a main dish was really very kind. And it turned out fantastic. This restaurant has so much going for it in the quality of its ingredients and dish compositions. I would encourage the chef to consider how the can apply their creativity to a dedicated vegan dish as well. There's a big world to explore in creating modern, high end, plant-based dishes and I think this restaurant would hit it out of the park ! :)
