Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery

Another Tucson restaurant crossed off the list to try! It's further east than I thought, right past houghton, so still in the vicinity of some things. I was just happy to see a cool restaurant on the east side since it seems you have to travel to downtown, midtown, or north side for more restaurants!Anyway went here Saturday evening with my husband and sat on the patio. They have heaters throughout the patio so it really made it comfortable. I felt the ambiance was a lot nicer outside than in, with the lights and whatnot. The menu is a good size with lots of great options! I ordered the Tanque verde bliss pizza and it was alright. The garlic flavor and smell is strong so if you're not a fan of garlic, probably pass on this pizza.. I feel like that's what stood out most. I also ordered the cauliflower appetizer. It was good and plentiful but some pieces were dry.I did feel it would be better with some sort of dip. My husband enjoyed his meal as well with the poke appetizer and crab melt. Their fries are so different here but as a self appointed French fry connoisseur, I love them! They have a crisp to them still that's perfect! All in all the meal was good but I do feel this restaurant is rather expensive. None of their burgers/sandwiches come with sides and are upwards $18...$20! That doesn't seem like a great value to me. The chucuterie boards are $20..$30 & market place..(but who knows maybe they're really big?), and entrees range $30-$50. Again the food is good, buuut be forewarned it's a pretty penny to dine here!

Incredible patio and outdoor space! Great outdoor play area for kiddos. All the outdoor ambiance you want in Tucson. We stopped in after a visit to nearby Agua Caliente Park.Food a bit lackluster. Got a burger with garlic fries, fries just had a literal scoop of garlic in them. My mom didn't touch her side salad, just kind of scooped from a bag it seemed. Table shared the fried cauliflower, it was fine too. Two at the table got the fish and chips, also just alright. I'd head back for drinks and apps just to enjoy the patio.

Well the start was a miss, so one less star because the host, greeted us but continued to work on something for over 5+ minutes before sitting us which would have taken a minute. No one before us or behind us. Not busy at all yet we arrived at 4:45, the interior was 25% occupied. So rocky start.Our waitress greeted us and her service was terrific. Our food was very good, huge servings and everything was fresh. The only issue was my son's burger was undercooked, he ordered medium well and I would say definitely medium with too much red meat showing. Sadly he was ill the next day. The rest of us were not ill with GI issues. We order fish and chips, two orders of fish tacos (one fried and one grilled), 505 burger and the hummus board. The hummus was good but too much oil on top. Would have rathered had feta in squares versus crumbles too hard to serve on plate. The plate was bland in color, wish they served with red bell peppers and had some olives. We will return but will cut into a burger before eating and definitely trying a different appetizer.

We had out-of-town visitors and took them to the Barnyard. It was a busy day, so there was a wait, but pleasant seating outside under the trees. I had my usual Fish & Chips (always outstanding). My husband had the 505 hamburger, with green chilis, onions and pepper jack cheese, cooked perfectly. Our friends both had the fish tacos. They said they were excellent. Our server, CJ has waited on me a few times. It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside on the patio. Umbrellas are provided for shade. CJ kept up with refilling our drinks and checking on our table. This is my go-to place to take friends and visitors there if the weather is nice. It is a bit noisy inside, so we usually opt to sit outside if possible. A friend of mine remarked, "I didn't know there was a place like this in Tucson!" Another stellar experience.

I don't know what those 1 star people were talking about. This was our 1st visit but we will be back. We had the Thursday night prime rib dinner. The prime rib was tender and very flavorful. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. We arrived at 450pm. We had our order taken, our drinks and food delivered, we ate unrushed, and were on our way home at 541!!!! WHAT! Now that's service. My only complaint is that I like my vegetables cooked. I know heated but still crunchy is the in thing but I would rather they be cooked, not just heated. Thus the 4 stars. Also to note, we were in a both inside but the doors are wide open so it's almost like being outside. Just in case it gets too cool there were blankets and being short I really appreciated the pillows.

We enjoy going there. The service is wonderful. Love to sit outside and enjoying the weather. Food is great and you get a nice portion for the price. The only down fall is they don't allow dogs. Even outside.

Hell yeah I'd recommend this place! I was about to go on a Horseback ride in the region, which was awesome and yes I reviewed it too. I had time to kill and was hungry. The nice lady at circle K pointed me in this direction. The sweetheart bartender when I walked in made me my favorite drink, a Diet Coke with an astronomical amount of lemon wedges, and I with great doubt asked about the fish and chips. To my great surprise, he agreed that it makes no sense for Tucson fish to be good, but they import some obnoxiously high quality.... I went for it. It was perfect! The beer batter was so crispy and crunchy, fish was flaky and not smelly, with a spicy tartar sauce. However.... I said no to the carbs that was fries and inhaled the cold slaw without shame. It was really good with pineapple soaked raisins. Check out this place! Fair prices!

This is a super cute place! The atmosphere was great. We had delicious (and huge!) portions, the drinks were done well and overall everyone was happy with their orders. We did appreciate that they turned the heaters on (it was a bit chilly after the sun went down). Thu is a family friendly place- don't be surprised to see kids running around and playing the games.

Came here with my family on a Tuesday Night. Place had a good vibe going at around 6pm. Had live music playing with a gentlemen singing some country (Loved the Kenny Rodgers). Good brews on tap. Great cocktails on the menu.Food was OK. Portions were HUGE. The Fish and chips was really good, as was the Mac and Cheese. I was not a fan of the BBQ sauce Chicken wings, though the wing portion was pretty good. I think I would get a different flavor next time. (My mother is not a buffalo sauce person, but I am!)The Spinach Dip was Spinach dip, nothing crazy, but it was good. And the French Dip my father ordered was decent too. The Fries were probably the 2nd best thing there. Crispy. Fluffy. Truffle option is a great option is you like that flavor profile.The star of the show however, has got to be that cauliflower. There aren't a lot of places that get crispy cauliflower right, and they do it amazing. In a "General Tso" type sauce (Asian profile, think orange chicken) it works really, really well.Where they fell short was the nachos. My SIL does not like BBQ Sauce on the pulled pork, and were told there was no BBQ sauce. When we got the nachos, there was BBQ Sauce. I didn't mind it, but having been told it wasn't there, and having it there kind of put a damper on things. Her any my nephew did not eat more than 2 bites and said "No."They did offer to change it, but we always hate sending food back.Service was good. No Complaints. Very well attended to.I think the only reason I would be back is to have a drink, and get that Cauliflower. Otherwise food is just OK.

This is an adorable restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating when the weather is nice. There were a lot of flowers with monarchs flying around. It was lovely. I had the cranberry chicken salad which was a huge portion and so good. I also had the garlic fries and my date had a steak and potatoes. We felt the prices were good for the amount of food we received. Staff were nice and made me a specialty mocktail. I will be back!
