We were visiting from Redding to escape the heat a bit. Myself, husband and 4 kids from teen to toddler. I found the place online looking for a good place to hit before heading home. I had a burger, 2 of kids split the giant burger and the others had breakfasts, French toast, omelette, waffles, sausage back. Etc Food? AMAZING! And the it was a short wait yet fresh yummy food. All of my kids were happy. My husband was stuffed sleepy and I had a peaceful drive home while all the good coma fam slept. Our waitress was super friendly, bathrooms clean, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely will go back on our next trip. read more

Joes Green Barn - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinleyville, California

Very unique color and barn like restaurant. A local favorite. Lots of families and senior citizens come here. Its a very family friendly and everyone knows each other vibes. They have breakfast all day and big portions. The prices are reasonable. Service is quick and attentive. We had the patty melt, cheeseburger and the rib eye special with baked potatoes We took lots of food home. The next day we had breakfast there with freshly made coffee and also big portions with either country potato or hashbrowns. Plenty of toast and butter. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. The restaurant also has many options of pies for sale and by the slice. Super yummy. read more

Went here last night for dinner after a trip into town and this food was horrible and not good. We ordered the French Dip, which had no cheese or onions on it and was very dry. Cajun Pasta that was alright but definitely not worth the price. Also barely any mushrooms and onions in the pasta. We also shared some mozzarella sticks and they were pretty bad the cheese was not melted and just came right out. It also seemed to upset both of our stomachs until the morning. Would not recommend this place based off the food and service, some of the staff were friendly some were dismissive and bothered. read more

This restaurant is a gem! It's an upscale diner with beautiful decor and the dishes they use are exceptionally pretty. The food was very good and plentiful, and the service was friendly and quick. Prices were reasonable, especially given the generous portions. Their menu is quite extensive and varied, with breakfast served all day in addition to lunch and dinner type options. If we stayed in McKinleyville for a week, we would definitely eat there multiple times. read more

Best burger I've had in a long time. High quality meat, must be at least 1/2 pound, excellent bun and "frings" (50-50 onion rings and fries). You could tell the potatoes and onions were freshly cut and fried -- no freezer stuff here. Delicious! Too much to eat so I brought half home. And at $12.49 it's a good deal, too. Service was fast, friendly, efficient. Great little spot with a big menu and pleasant decor. read more

I go so far back, I remember when this was Stanton's red barn. I was in the area, so I decided to stop for breakfast. The place was bright and clean on the inside. It had just a good old-fashioned "country" feel to it. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The menu was large, But I decided to try the Irish skillet. Country potatoes topped with eggs, corned, beef, and green onion. The food comes, and as she puts it down in front of me, the only thing I could say was, " Dear Lord!" That was quite a plate of food. It was beyond delicious. The corned beef was very tender, the potatoes were tender inside and had a nice bit of a crust on the outside, the eggs were also tender, and the green onion provided a nice pop of freshness. To drink, I had the mango iced tea, which was beyond delicious. I had so much food, what I took home, I had enough for two more meals. Some of their items come with toast, this one didn't. When I saw what I got, I understood why. The price was very reasonable, especially considering what I got. Plus, they also do a military/veterans discount. Next time I'm in town, I will be back. Thank you read more

We walked in and the A/C was broken so it was awfully HOT . Then we ordered the Fried Chicken and Fish and chips the chicken was almost BURNT and so dry , the fish and chips were so oily and dense .. We paid our bill and of course over tipped cause it was not the waitress fault - but we will not be back .. Thanks but No Thank you !!! read more

My partner ordered the Mushroom Crepe, which doesn't have any meat on it. We are both not meat eaters. He was given the Chicken & Mushroom because the waitress put the ticket in wrong. They remade the dish and it arrived at the end of our meal so it immediately went into a box. We asked for part of his meal to be comped because of the meat and the hostess didn't want to give us anything because his meal was remade? Is that not what you are supposed to do? Give people the meals they ordered and not the wrong item? She begrudgingly gave us $1.60 off. Not impressed with how this was handled. read more

Since there isn't a lot to choose from in McKinleyville I tried dinner here. Beer was cold, that's about all that was good. Food was very bland and I ordered my steak med. Rare and it was well done and dry. read more

First time here since this location was a Niveen's. Significantly redecorated inside and out. Has a very rustic, country comfortable feel to it. The restaurant was very clean and organized. We were greeted and seated immediately by a very pleasant young lady. Our server was helpful in the breakfast selection for one of our group members as they have a significant food allergy. Server was very understanding and made great alteration suggestions. The food came out very quickly and they kept the coffee flowing. The portions for all - including a kid's meal - were very plentiful and all plates looked beautiful. Now for the less flattering part of my review - gotta keep it real though: much of the food was fairly bland and not great. - The breakfast potatoes could have used a lot more flavor; paprika, salt and pepper would have made them much more desirable. My preference is for some crispness to a breakfast potato and these lacked any crispness at all. - The eggs in my Benedict were overcooked - they were hard. Hollandaise sauce was bland and essentially tasteless. I like a good lemony tasting hollandaise, but can be satisfied with just a great tasting sauce, but this, unfortunately, was not. - One of my companions had the Country Benedict which includes biscuits and gravy, but found both of these two components to be inedible. The biscuits were quite over-baked, which could be acceptable if the gravy was delicious, but that was not the case. The sausage gravy was extremely sweet. That's right, sweet, like saccharine sweet. Not sure if this is their recipe or if a mistake might have been made, but it was nothing like biscuit gravy I've had anywhere and I cannot recommend this. - There were some items we liked, including the chicken sausage, which were flavorful big fatties that were well-cooked. - The hashed browns were cooked nicely as well. - The coffee was tasty. A little set back at first with this as the half and half instantly curdled when introduced to my coffee, but the server immediately corrected this by exchanging my mug and bringing new creamer with the new coffee. It happens and I don't hold this against them at all. I hope the management will consider some of this feedback because we really need and appreciate having establishments like this in this sit-down restaurant desert. read more

The new Joes Green Barn is an entirely new restaurant in what was the old niveens location in town. New exterior and interior, new menu with a lot of the familiar staff still present. I was greeted walking in and seated in the same moment. The staff as usual are all friendly and kind, new country themed outfits though. After giving the menu a once over, I decided on a sandwich, the Reuben with fries. Grilled marble rye, loaded with thick lean corned beef, sauerkraut, melted swiss with thousand island dressing on the side and a generous portion of french fries. A decent sandwich, hearty and filling with good flavor and crunch, it was a little on the greasy side only issue. I got a piece of cheesecake to go, there are a nice assortment of bakery items at the front counter. Joes is a decent family diner with a nice memu, and many added drink options san alcohol. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the complete redo in and out, I will be back to try breakfast 00952 read more

Cute decor, friendly staff, good service, great food. Had the Parmesan salad and the Chinese chicken salad. Both great.

I ordered French dip it was absolutely disgusting obviously old meat reheated it was chewy and Just overall bad taste the fries were dark and soggy grease must be a month old .How hard is it to cook a fresh piece of meat and slice it put it on a nice bun . This place has the potential to be great but chooses to be awful. read more

We were glad we decided to split a breakfast burrito as it easily fed two. It contained ham, sausage, and bacon--the bacon could have been better cooked and there could have been more cheese; potatoes were well done and delicious. The salsa was house-made and perfect as a compliment. Coffee was piping hot and fresh. Wish they offered plant-based creamer. Service was efficient and friendly; the moss and country theme is a novel touch. We will come back! read more

An old friend recommended this place and we went for breakfast yesterday. We both had the steak and eggs special and it was good and our waitress kept the coffee coming and was dressed cowgirl style with a great vibe. I will be back for sure! read more

Yes, yes, YES! Sunday afternoon 4pm. Discerning wife had lemon chicken and shrimp scampi and baked potato. Yummy and enough chicken for three people! I had the tri-tip dip, big enough I only ate half. Nutty kicker was Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was $2 each at happy hour! Haven't seen a $2 crafty beer in two decades. Fun fact, we traveled home to Reno the next day, stopped at Redding In-n-Out Burger. My tri-tip sandwich was so good I chose to eat the leftover half instead of my usual double double order! That is saying something. Service was fine. Not sure if the cowboy hats are really helping, but that is just me. read more

Amazing service and very tasty and delicious I recommended the cowboy burger and the ambiance omg amazing

We had an amazing time at Joe's, thanks to Katie! She was an excellent waitress. Service was super fast and everything was accurate. It was a cute place overall and we had a lot of fun! The waitresses were all dressed in cowboy hats and the decor was all barn themed. The food was great also, but our experience was elevated because of the service. The cheese curds were amazing! The tri-tip sandwich was great also, but the steak and eggs were just okay. We also liked having cheap mimosas and a mocha shake to go at the end. read more

A new restaurant in a town dearly in need of one. Cozy "country" atmosphere with columns covered in dried moss and wait staff wearing cowboy hats. Fare is very beef-based with a good specialty burger menu. Also a number of chicken, fish, and pork dishes as well as some salads. A few dishes under "From the Garden" are vegetarian. Portions are fairly large for the price with good-quality ingredients. The fries taste homemade, fresh and flavorful though a bit limp. The Firehouse Burger lives up to its name in spice. And surprisingly they serve boba milk tea, not what you expect in a country barn burger & steak joint. read more

We had it a few times before FINALLY getting the chance to go into the restaurant, and we've gone a couple times now...The place is adorably decorated with mossy country vibes, it's clean and bright! The wait staff is fun and bubbly, the cowboy hats reallllly add something fun to the whole vibe! The food? So GOOD! everyone at the table enjoyed their dish and we all shared bites because it all looked so delicious we couldn't keep our hands off each other's plates. Go!!! You won't regret it! P.S.

Food was delicious, loved the calm and family friendly atmosphere and welcoming service. We are here visiting and found this lovely place to grab some American style food. We had the gourmet burger, cowboy burger, & waffles with eggs and bacon (breakfast served all day!). Everything was delicious and burgers were huge! If you don't have a huge appetite, I'd recommend splitting. read more

The service was by far the worst I've ever received. We came in while they were dead slow it took 15 plus minutes to get drinks, then another 15 plus minutes for them to take our food order. Our food came out quick except for one member of our groups we asked about it twice everyone else was finished with their food before it came out. The staff stood around and talked while we sat and waited. Now the food, for the price it wasn't very good, then the crap service to go with it I would recommend McDonald's over The Green Barn any day read more

Excellent service provided today on our first visit. We went for late brunch (after 12) which is challenging to get locally. Most Humboldt restaurants close breakfast at noon. So score a point for Green Barn! The menu is extensive, which makes me wonder if they can really do all things well. The place was well laid out and theme decorated for western. The waitresses wore cowboy hats in keeping with the theme so the ambiance was consistent. My favorite thing about having brunch out is mimosas. They had a number of flavors and sizes. So score 2 for Green Barn. I, of course got the pint and was very pleased! For breakfast, I chose the ham and cheese crepe with hollandaise. (Something I wouldn't make at home). It was very good, although I'm not sure the sauce was fresh made, it was decent. My husband chose the ham and eggs. 3 eggs is a plus in his book and they were a perfect over easy. The ham was good sized but more like a farmer John slice, certainly not local or thick (menu description). He got the home fries which needed more frying and some seasoning. I thought my hash browns were far superior. All in all it was a good experience and we would return. I would love to see the owners focus on creating a signature special and doing it well. Right now they are running at about pleasant and good but not great. read more

This restaurant doesn't do small, even the kids meals are big. Lots of food for your money. I got a burger with sweet potato fries and my kids (3&5) for a kids burger and kids chicken strips. Everything we got was really good. My husband got a chicken dish, and the chicken was dry. Other than that though great food, and great staff. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable on their extensive menu. read more

I do not like restaurants who hire people who are in service and have terrible attitudes or can't make a smile and be friendly. Joe's Green Barn gets an A+++ on service. Every person I have talked to has been SUPER welcoming, Even if the food was bad I'd still go to be treated so well. Don't worry though, the food was great. The prices are low for the huge portions. I've had the buffalo chicken sandwich (sadly I didn't take photos that day) and it was excellent! My second order was a hot roast beef sandwich. So yummy!!! The dining room is clean and the decor is cute. We will definitely be going back. Mimosa bar Sunday? I think YES!!!!! read more
