    Red velvet cake
    Rena Z.

    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

    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 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.

    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

    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

    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.

    So I decided to go and check this place out. It had just opened and I want to see what it was all…read moreabout. I walk in, I was greeted by the bouncer who by the way was a very nice guy. I proceeded to check the place out and decided to approach the bar. I ordered a drink and apparently the bartender made the wrong type of drink. I then waited there for about 12 minutes to try to get a hold of the waitress. Finally when she saw that I was trying to get a hold of her she asked me what I wanted and I explained to her my problem. She stated that it wasn't her problem and that I would have to pay for a new drink. Meanwhile the drink was right in front of me untouched and she still want me to buy another drink. I personally have never in my life had this type of experience. I asked her if I would be able to speak to the manager. The manager on duty was behind the bar. I was told that he would talk to me when he had a chance. He actually never came over to introduce himself. He ac never came over at all. I spent the rest of my night which was only another hour giving the place a second chance. No manager ever came by and left the worst taste in my mouth. I would never go to this place again. Any type of new business that can care less about the customer experience does not deserve my business or anyones for that matter. I will continue giving my business to other places that actually appreciate my presence and have customer loyalty.

Needless to say, the party didn't take place due to Covid-19. Upon checking our bank account we determined that XO Private Functions cashed our check on 3/6/20 which was the day after we were there and one month before the party!! With Gov. Murphy's restrictions still in place we contacted XO Functions and spoke with the owner. She indicated to us that she spent our deposit and does not have our money. What???!!!! A deposit is supposed to be attached to a contract not cashed the next day. They repeatedly ignore our calls and requests for our deposit to be returned.

He immediately started barking at us about how we had made a reservation for four adults and one child, and that we would have to pay full price for the fourth adult which was $80 who did not show up. When we were seated, I had already apologized to the server that the fourth person could not make it, and the server -- who had otherwise been wonderful -- politely told us it was fine. I really thought this won't be a big deal like other establishments that are even more high end. I later learned that the individual's name was Tom. Describing his behavior as merely rude would be an understatement; his conduct was obnoxious, unprofessional, and unnecessarily aggressive. First, being charged the full $80 price for a guest who did not attend was extremely shocking and disappointing. More concerning, however, was the manner in which Tom approached and addressed us. In all my years of dining out, I have never experienced such poor service or such an inappropriate attitude from restaurant staff. Although I was eventually provided with containers to pack some food to take home, the entire experience left me feeling deeply insulted and completely ruined what was meant to be a special Mother's Day dinner. This Tom, who I was told aa a manger lacks a professionalism to be a qualified one. He needs a major attitude change.

    I've been coming here since it first became "Maggie's" about 20 years ago. Always offers solid…read morecomfort food, and has a nice rustic charm in the dining room. The bar is always lively, filled with friendly patrons and enough tv's to watch sporting events. Good beer selection as well. My last visit here was a tad underwhelming, as I found the service lacking. Upon being seated, our server took our drink orders and then proceeded to come back every three minutes or so to ask if we were ready to put our food order in. Despite us responding that we wanted to relax and have a drink before ordering our food, she was relentless in coming back to us. It got to the point where I thought she was going to pull up a chair and simply wait for us to give her our food order. She finally wore us down and we ordered a pizza, not because we were ready to order but simply to give us a chance to relax and enjoy our drinks. We ordered a pizza with Meatball and Extra Sauce. The Extra Sauce request was somehow misinterpreted as a cup of Marinara Sauce placed in the middle of the Pizza Pie. I kid you not - see attached photo. What most frustrated us however was that after coming to our table three times in five minutes to gather our food order, she apparently entered the Witness Protection Program once our Food Order was in. I had to track her down at one point after waiting about 10 or 15 minutes to order a second round of drinks. We also had the misfortune of sitting next to a rather loud foursome who spoke at a volume befitting a Prize Fight Announcer. Now, I understand an Establishment certainly can't ask a customer to lower their voice. But there were very few patrons in the dining room that night and we were seated amongst a cluster of tables while the vast remainder of the dining area remained open. I get that you don't want to seat people at opposite sides of the restaurant, but come on, you could have spaced us out a little better than that. Like other reviewers on here, I would agree the service is generally hit or mis. There have been occasions where our servers were attentive, courteous and accommodating. I can only attribute the inconsistency in service to a lack of training and supervision. Nevertheless, Maggie's remains one of my "go-to's" and I would recommend it to those who have yet to try.
