They make a really juicy burger here with fresh ingredients. Probably a little too much dressing on the salad but the burger was perfection. Great service as well, our waiter was especially accommodating to our allergies and in making it right when the tap water tasted off. Would definitely not hesitate to come back and try their pizza. read more

Excellent dinner with friendly service. Stop here on a co-worker's recommendation. Well worth my time and money. read more

The change to 11 green has a modern vibe and outdoor seating comfortable . The pastrami sandwich was a like and satisfying for guest 1. Play it safe here . Do not order the vegan egg omelet . Appreciate the thought but you're better off ordering a regular egg dish . Just buy just egg sub and make it your own at home . It was crazy crispy bland and not appealing at all the home fries also bland , the side continents also bland . Service rushing . It was a Saturday . I been here - a handful of times . I get the message not for me . Not every place works for everybody , I get it. It's ok not coming back read more

The server was very pleasant but the organization of the food coming out was disastrous. The food comes out sub par because the owners are trying to do way way too many items. Six page menus never work out. It's Thai, American, Spanish, Mexican, Hawaiian- sorry no one can successfully do that. My suggestion cut it down and focus. Lettuce should always be cold. Side dishes came out way after the meal. The menus were sticky and old. We were told some of the items are no longer offered. Even their website isn't tended to It lists Valentines Deserts in July? Focus. They need a visit from Robert Irvine. read more

Wow, I came here for breakfast the other day and it was actually amazing so much better than the diner. Their brunch menu is awesome. Everything we had was so good. it's such a cute vibe inside and I love that. They always have a lot of events. The service was amazing. Shout out to Dillion for the best service! read more

Driving on the 80 and we needed some breakfast. Did a quick yelp search and boy were we lucky this place was 5 mins away. We got there at 10 on a Saturday morning. Service was prompt and friendly. Great breakfast menu. The sausage was really delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. Cute place. Updated cabin look :) The music was a little sleepy felt like cocktail hour music or something. A group of local parents were coming in to sit at the bar and watch some game together. Such a nice neighborhood place. Wish we had something like this where we live. read more

Never been here before and we stopped. I was concerned with the reviews they were very mixed. We had great service and a great meal. My wife had the Angus Burger and I had the barn burger. Both cooked perfectly and the fries were fantastic read more

Four and one half stars. This review is for breakfast only. We have been to the Barn a couple times over the years when it was under previous management. It was run of the mill at best. I'm happy to say that I was very impressed with my first experience at this new incarnation. We were there for breakfast with Santa. The spacious dining area was tastefully appointed with holiday decor. The breakfast menu has lots of interesting options. I selected the Opa-Let Omelette. Haloumi, Grape Tomatoes, Gyro Meat, Oregano & Olives. It is a fresh take on a Greek omelette. Very flavorful and delicious. My wife ordered the Hang Over burger. Two smashed beef patties, American cheese and Taylor ham, topped with a sunny side up egg. It was outstanding. My daughter ordered the Barn's take on Eggs Benedict. Classic preparation but in place of Canadian bacon they use Taylor ham. It was excellent as well. The service was a little spotty but I'm not complaining. I think they may have been a bit overwhelmed from the breakfast with Santa theme. On that note the actors portraying Mr. and Mrs. Claus were among the best I have ever seen. Friendly, jolly, real beard and excellent costumes. I look forward to dining at the Barn again in the near future for breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Was here last year and wasn't impressed but decided to give it another shot, still not impressed. It's such a great location great indoor outdoor but I just can't go back again. First, our waiter was rushing us taking our order, but I'm not sure why because maybe half the tables were taken and he was a bit Kurt with us. We ordered the Barnchos for the table and it was mostly just chips, barely any protein on it. Half our table of 9, the food wasn't even hot. Not all of us were done with our meals, when the waiter came back over trying to take everything away. It was if they were rushing us out & we couldn't understand why because there were so many open tables. At least they took 3 of the meals off the bill, but that being said I'd probably won't ever go back. Something is just not working right at this place and like I said before it's a shame because it's a perfect location. read more

What a great find while we were in the middle of nowhere! This is a place that should exist in every county as it really hits the spot on so many levels. I loved the vibe and concept this place had. All the food we ordered was fantastic and the drinks were good too. I wish we had more people so I could have tried out more food, but we were only able to order the shrimp pasta and nachos w/ minced meat (aka chili). The shrimp pasta was fantastic. Often times at these types of restaurants/gastropubs, the pastas can be very subpar, but we were blown away with how good this dish was. The sauce was tasty, the shrimp grilled to perfection and the pasta and veggies very very good. The side salad was also very fresh and the dressing was great. The nachos were great as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish this place were closer so I could come here again to try the different dishes, but fingers crossed they open up a location in Bergen County! read more

Out in NJ for a wedding and after checking into the hotel stopped in The Barn for lunch. Perfect place to grab food and drinks. Staff were particularly welcoming and friendly. Menu offered both breakfast and lunch options and I would strongly recommend the Market Omelette ( topped off with guacamole ) with hash browns. In addition the grits with brown sugar tasted like they came from the south. The pork tacos and French Dip were delicious and all items were well portioned. You don't come out hungry. Restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating along with a large bar area. Weekends they offer live bands. Nice selection of beers to boot. If I'm ever in Rockway again I'll certainly stop by The Barn again. read more

I am not usually "wowed" enough to write a review, but this place absolutely deserves one. My husband and I visited on 12/31/25 for their New Year's Eve Bash, and even though I'm a little late writing this, the experience was too good not to share. The owners, Mel and Frank, along with the entire staff, went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant experience. Mel even went out of her way to snag us a table right near the band! Our servers, Angie and Bailee, were incredible. Despite how busy it was, they stopped by frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. I have truly never had waitstaff be that attentive during a major event. As for the food--I didn't eat much, but the Burrata was TO DIE FOR! Thank you to The Barn Kitchen & Bar for reminding me that there are still restaurants out there that truly care about their customers. We will definitely be back! read more

The Barn is a gem of a casual restaurant and bar that you need to visit! It is easily accessible from Route 80 traveling either Eastbound or Westbound, in Rockaway, NJ. Inside, the dining area is spacious, and tastefully furnished with a nice warm fireplace in the room. The bar area has plenty of seats and TVs for sports fans. Our server Angela B. was so very pleasant, and attentive. She informed us about weekday events held at The Barn (trivia, bingo, vinyl night) and what sounded like a great Brunch Sat/Sun. We will be returning to experience some of them. We started with "Barnachos" ($18) containing a generous portion of pork (carnitas) and the usual nacho components. No pump cheese here though! Yay My wife had a lovely Greek salad ($19) with feta, grilled chicken, olives, onions, etc. I had a Meat Lovers pizza: pepperoni, sausage, cheese, sauce, peppers, onions, olives, etc ($22). The pizza was served piping hot. The portions were all generous and the food was delicious. We were too full for dessert! The menu really has something for everyone but everything on it has a special twist to it. Check out the menu at: https://thebarnkitchenandbar.com/menu/#view-page. (The attached photo shows all of the Oct/Nov/Dec special Fall/Holiday events that The Barn hosted.) read more

Good food, nice ambiance and Anthony the bartender made this a great night out- will definitely come back to see him!!!

Good, staff and atmosphere. Dogs welcome!!!! It was so relaxing and comfortable! I can't wait to go back.

Had a nice early Sunday afternoon brunch in December 2025. Not too busy, but I hear it can be at times. Four of us were seated right away and we enjoyed the service and breakfast choices. Very enjoyable. read more

Service was excellent! Thanksgiving dinner was very yummy! There was family drama, but the staff handled it very well.

This was our first meal at the barn since it changed hands. We never used to like it, but this visit was very different in a good way! We went for brunch, and the menu was interesting and had a great variety. I wanted something sweet and something salty, so we decided to split the pistachio and Nutella pancakes. I got the Taylor ham bagel sandwich and hubby had the southern Benedict- we both loved everything. Not to mention service was stellar! Will definitely be going back. read more

It's sad to see what has happened to this establishment. When in the other day for a pizza and it was like plastic cheese and tomato sauce on stale bread. Not exactly up to Jersey standards for a bar pie. Hope the old ingredients and menus and recipes come back. read more

Went here for a family brunch at the recommendation of one of my family members. Went on a Sunday for noon and the restaurant was somewhat crowded with multiple other large tables reserved near us but all the other parties were far enough away that we weren't crowded and it wasn't hard to hear one another talk. Our server was attentive and came back often to check to make sure we had drink refills, etc. I ordered the Tiramisu French Toast Tower and it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. It was pretty much french toast layered with hard lady fingers cookies in between and some strawberry pieces on top. It had very little mascarpone cheese, had no whipped cream or anything else really to make it stand out. Also some of the french toast was burnt. I tried to eat the hard lady fingers with the french toast and it wasn't a good combination so I moved all of them to the side and just ate the french toast which was ok. Hubby ordered one of their breakfast skillets and oddly it didn't come in a skillet like we thought. He said that everything in the dish was burnt and he didn't know until he took a bite since it was covered with a lot of cheese. It also didn't have very many potatoes. I'm not sure how everyone else liked their food in our party but I saw mostly clean plates so I presume everyone else enjoyed their meals. We all then shared a bunch of desserts which were good. I would come here again as they have a large menu and I'd like to try something else next time. read more

My wife and I ate the Barn for breakfast in mid-June 2025, and it was extremely good! My wife had the "Lox'd and Loaded" benedict and loved it, and I had the short rib benedict and overall liked it, except for one thing: Most things on the menu go into great detail as to what ingredients are in the dish, but for some reason the short rib benedict leaves out the fact that there are peppers and onions mixed in with the short rib. I'm not allergic to them, I can eat them, but don't really like either one, so I spent a lot of time trying to pick through and pick them out before I could eat. Thankfully I enjoyed the flavor of the dish, but when it looks like the menu goes into a lot of detail about all of the other dishes on the menu, why was this detail left out? All of the staff were extremely friendly and honestly everything on the menu sounded REALLY good. read more

The Barn is a solid pick for a chill lunch with friends. Came by on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy, so service was fast and friendly. I had the cheesesteak--super flavorful, melty cheese, and that perfect crunchy bread. Also snagged a slice of the vodka pizza, which had a thin, tasty crust I'd definitely go back for. Easy spot, good vibes, and the food hits the mark! read more

Real fire, live band, attentive service and good pizza. Thanks for the late night pick me up!

Love the atmosphere, but love the bread more. So warm so fresh so much yes! The pizza was good, service was quick, atmosphere was immaculate! I want to shout out Logan and Todd for being top notch Barn-Brothas, those BB's know how to make people welcome. I will definitely be back, I wanna check out Bingo. I friggin love bingo.
