The Barnyard — Restaurant in Bradenton

If you’re not eating at The Barnyard, wyd??

I came here for my birthday dinner (because yes, I celebrate with wings…I’m a simple man of refined taste), and let me tell you… this was my second time here, and somehow it was even better than the first.

I got the 10 wings with Hot Honey Garlic and Garlic Parmesan, and as a self-declared Wing Connoisseur™, I’m telling you: these wings are next level!!! Light, crispy, JUICY, and full of flavor without being drowned in sauce or battered to death. You can feel the love and skill that went into these bad boys.

Garlic Parm = flavor bomb Hot Honey = sweet heat perfection

I used to swear by Korean fried chicken as my top-tier wing… but Barnyard might have just thrown it off the throne. Yup. I said it.

We also got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Lemon Pepper wings. Not only does this place have a wrap worth writing poetry about, but they grill the open side of the cut wrap… umm, GENIUS move! That extra crunch? Chef’s kiss. And the lemon pepper wings (which I usually hate) made me question everything I thought I knew.

BUT WAIT—THE DRINK. 🍋 The house-squeezed Strawberry Piña Colada Lemonade had me internally screaming. I’m still dreaming about it. Sweet, refreshing, and dangerously addictive. 10/10 would chug again.

And let me give a shoutout to Mark, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. He checked on us regularly, made great recommendations, and honestly just made the whole dining experience better.

The vibe? Clean, cozy, welcoming. You can tell this place is run with care! From the food to the floors. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and appreciated.

Sure, the prices might be a smidge higher than your average chain joint…but this isn’t average. This is next level, handcrafted, small-business greatness, and worth every single penny.

Final thoughts? Wings = elite Wraps = fire Drinks = unforgettable Service = top-tier Cleanliness = spotless Atmosphere = good vibes only

This place is a hidden gem that deserves ALL the love. So stop scrolling. Grab your people. Get in the car. And go show The Barnyard the love it deserves!

Support small. Eat BIG. Be happy. You’re welcome.

Went to the Farmers Market in the neighborhood and visited the Barnard, which is inside along with other local vendors. First off, Ciliana was awesome! She was energetic and had great positive vibes. We told her it was our first visit and she made great suggestions for us. My husband had the Buffalo chicken sandwich which he enjoyed.....she had it loaded with jalapeños. I let her decide my lunch for me and she immediately said you're having the chicken wrap. It was like no other wrap I've had. Loaded with corn, bacon and many additional fresh ingredients. It was a big portion! The chicken was prepared with each order so it wasn't dry or cold. Such a cool little place to have lunch. Recommend the lemonade. Prices were very reasonable.

Indoor and outdoor seating available.

10/1/21 was craving the chicken wrap and so glad I returned. Staff is always perky and happy and the food doesn't disappoint. One of my favorite lunch spots!

7/25/22 isa wrap two times in one week. Oh its been too long 😀

9/19/22 I ❤️ when I have to drive near this place and forced to stop in becuase my favorite wrap needs to be eaten. The ISA wrap is so...

I wish there was a -5 star. this was the worst food ever. the picture of the smash burger is false advertising a double cheeseburger at mcdonalds is better than this. I am so disappointed in the food quality and taste! it has gone down considerably! I passed at least 10 other food joints on my way to get here on my lunch time just to walk into a pitch black building with no lights on so i couldnt even look at my food while in there. this smash burger looks nothing at all like the photo that is on the menu and the taste is like someone dumped the pepper shaker in the pan and the same with the mac & cheese! I have never had horrible mac & cheese until today..... it was the worst! this was a very expensive meal for 2 for the quality and quantity of food that I recvd!!!!! $30 would have got better food elsewhere!!! I am so disappointed!!!!! I cannot stress enough how i was anticipating this delicious smash burger and then to get low grade food / a soggy bun and pepper mac & cheese..... I do not think i will frequent this...
