    This is a fun place for food and drinks. The service is friendly and kind. The cornbread was the star of the meal and I would come back for this alone. The only con of the meal was that I wasn't thrilled that there was a bone on my plate without meat on it, as well as a piece of cartilage. Can definitely see this as a spot to come with friends to let loose!

    Been a few times - the service is always hit or miss - but I have to say my last visit the service was much better than my previous visit - the servers were attentive, the food is always consistently good. The DJ at the Sunday brunch really added a nice touch.

    First and foremost most the food was crazy good the only thing I didn't like was the fritter I felt like there was fried in oil that was too hot and rushed but for the most part everything is fire The sweet plantain pancake the frittay platter was amazing the French toast is my favorite I'm coming backkk

    Black-owned establishment opened up last year on this strip. This place adds a little something different to the mix. I was in the area, saw this place on IG, and decided to try it out. The staff were cool, everyone was friendly and the food was good.. Had no complaints. Bartender made Old Fashion strong but didn't taste strong perfect mix. Shrimp in the shrimp and grits was seasoned well and the Guyanese Chow mein really hit the spot. Overall good solid spot. Was a quick stop next time I come I will chill and vibe out for the night and try more things on the menu.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Weekend brunch: Live DJ with the latest music blasting. (Not comfortable to have conversations…read morewithout screaming across the table just to talk.) Dimmed lighting, shades closed so there was no natural lighting. The restaurant was decorated as if it was still Valentine's Day. (odd). The food was good, pricey, nice sized portions, tasty--but a bit too salty. $20 for a bottle of Saratoga water was ridiculous. It's supposed to be a black-owned business unfortunately the owner is unknown. We left with a full belly, food to go and ears popping!!

    The ambience is awesome. I give it to them. Especially as you walk in although it has a sort of…read moreValentine day feel to it. The food was ok. I ordered the oxtail and didn't really like the sauce but that's a personal thing. I ordered the curry goat and salmon burger to take home as well as calamari. None were really great, just ok. The calamari at the restaurant had some peppers and ginger which gave it a kick. The one I ordered to go had nothing but fried calamari, unfortunately I was home so couldn't take it back. The drinks!! I am definitely skipping this next time. A cocktail is $48 plus gratuity and tax means spending $55 on a cocktail drink. Nooooo!!! Even in Vegas, I didn't spend this much on a cocktail drink! I was alarmed at my check. It was so high for lunch but now I know better. Plus watch out for the 22% gratuity! The waiter wouldn't split the bill so my takeout was lumped into the entire check and had to pay 22% gratuity on the takeout!!) I gave a low score because of the sneaky high check and the food which was just ok. The food presentation was amazing though. That's a 10/10.

    Waffles n chicken & mangu with codfish (not a fan of this type of mangu). We decided on brunch after a good church service!
