Angry Barnyard BBQ

I was looking for a barbecue place actually open on Monday, this is the one I found. I tried the tomato casserole, recommended by the cashier, it was amazing! The brisket was the best I've had, it just couldn't get any better! The cornbread was good. I'll definitely be frequent ing this barbecue restaurant.

The brisket is really tender, juicy and has the right amount of seasoning. Same with the chicken. I thought the chicken was going to be dry by the looks of it, but I was wrong. It was perfect. The potato salad was delicious. It tastes like they put a lot of boiled eggs in it, which I like. The Mac n cheese was good, but nothing special. It was good, though. I wanted fried okra, but they were out. The cashier could be friendlier. It seems like she feels bothered when you ask her for anything. Anyhow, I do recommend this place, especially the brisket. One caution: the Southern Comfort Plate says "Starting at $16.95" I ordered three different combos none of them were $16.95. All of them were $19.95. I'm guessing because of the brisket. I'm not sure.

Wife and I love this place! I'm a bit of a BBQ snob, I generally feel like I can do better at home on my own smokers and most spots, but Angry Barnyard has never disappointed! Be sure to get the sweet tea with your meal, you'll be glad you did. My go to isn't on the menu in store but is called The Little Bo, it is huge, pretty much enough for two meals! Do yourself a favor and come try this place! But hurry in before they sell out!

I haven't good BBQ in a very long time. This was GREAT BBQ! The Service right from the start was amazing! Ordered delivery, and within a minute I was getting called from a very lovely lady from the restaurant. She was informing me that unfortunately they didn't have the meats I was ordering "tri tip and ribs." But that she would tell me what they did have, "brisket and Turkey"; that sounds good! Unfortunately they didn't have the buttermilk pie that I tried to order for dessert and the only thing they had was "sweet potato pie or banana pudding cake" one didn't sound appetizing and the other I'm allergic to. So she did let me change it for an extra meat. She recommended the sausage and I'm glad she did! Yum! Everything tasted fantastic! Meat was tender, nice and fatty for you brisket lovers. Turkey was moist and flavorful! Sausage was mind blowing good! Especially when you dip it in the Carolina Gold! All the Meats; Total Win! Now as for the sides. Here's where I had a problem. Mac & Cheese was disappointing. Really no flavor, not very cheesy, just noodles with some cheese on top. Potato salad was ok, heavy on the dill, but not bad. The pickle slices are definitely homemade, nice that they added them, but I honestly didn't even eat them after the first one. Kind of sweet in my opinion. The biggest let down for me was the cornbread. Just from the thickness, the size of it, I was excited! I love cornbread, especially with BBQ! This tasted off. Like the brine from the pickles soaked into the cornbread and left it with this weird, sweet, tangy, peppery flavor. It was very off putting. I took one bite then set it aside. Can't speak on the ambiance, cause I got my food delivered, but from delivery alone? I'm very impressed with this place. I will definitely be ordering from here one more time before I go home. Bakersfield is very lucky to have these wonderful people and this amazing BBQ. Hopefully one day, they'll branch down to Visalia. We could use some BBQ down there. Especially Great BBQ like this! Don't let my own quarrels with the sides make you think twice about eating here, this place truly knows how to handle their meats! Amazing flavor all the way!

Had superb lunches today with brisket, ribs, hot links, killer sides and wonderful sweet iced tea. See photos! We'll be back!!

Delicious downtown bbq! This place is small with a few tables inside and outside and just a few employees. I had the big hoss sandwich with Mac and cheese. I would have done without the pimento cheese spread and pickles, so I know that for next time. The brisket itself was flavorful and delicious and a large portion. Bun was yummy too and mac and cheese was great. It was a great value in my opinion about $15 total not including a drink, for the amount of meat you get I thought it was a good deal these days, I've spent the same amount on a deli sandwich.

In the heat of the moment on a manic Monday I forgot my wallet on the way to work. Almost skipped lunch and had to remind myself it's 2024. I used this lovely app to find a place that accepts Apple Pay. As fate would have it angry barnyard was the place. I walked in and ordered my 2 meats 2 sides and a drink. The counter service was on point. Seating area is small but comfortable and well lit. I believe that sides should be unremarkable an unremarkable side compliments the dish perfectly. If it's remarkable the side was either really good or really bad. I thought the greens here were remarkably good; not overcooked, super juicy and flavorful with generous chunks of meat. The main meat portion was smaller than expected although still large enough to take home leftovers. The bbq sauce is self serve so I poured it generously and it melted in my mouth right along with the brisket. Somehow maybe because of the scorching heat the standout piece of this meal for me was the drink. It's a bottomless glass of sweet tea. Sounds simple enough but it was just so good the perfect amount of sweet and a hint of mint. It was so incredibly refreshing I almost didn't mention the food. Anyway it's crazy hot out there please stay hydrated and try this tea if you like that sort of thing.

The brisket was super tender and juicy, just the right amount of seasoning. The chicken surprised me--it was perfect, not dry like I thought it would be. The potato salad was tasty, loaded with boiled eggs, which I love. The mac and cheese was decent but nothing special. I wanted fried okra, but they were out. The cashier could be friendlier; she seemed annoyed when I asked anything. Overall, I recommend the place, especially for the brisket, but watch out for the pricing on the Southern Comfort Plate--it starts at $16.95, but my combos were all $19.95, probably because of the brisket.

Okay, this place needs more love and since I've just moved to town, they will be a regular for me. Service was great. I feel bad for how slow they looked, but maybe that's just time of day/day of week. That said, they should be constantly busy. The food was so good. The standouts: cornbread (oof what made me write this review) and ribs (the rub on it is fire). All love. Must go. Support your local black owned businesses.

Food is excellent although I still haven't made it for the catfish. They make it on Friday, and by the time I make it that way, they are all sold out. Great place. As far as the catfish, I'm not giving up.
