The Barn — Restaurant in Half Moon Bay

Went to the The Barn after a day of walking the dogs on the beach. My wife wanted to try it so off we went. There were about 20 people in front of us which took like forever (at least half an hour and that's be conservative) to order our food. It took another half an hour (again conservative) to get the food. Having to wait over an hour was not worth it. I had to leave my wife in line several times to check on the dogs in the car and take them for a walk.

I ordered the Barn Burger, my wife had What the Cluck and the dogs had grilled chicken. We also ordered a single order of fries, berry lemonade and macha lemonade. Both lemonades were delicious. For a total of $8.50 the size of the drinks could have been larger. Fries were cold and didn't taste fresh. I felt like they cook their fries like In and Out burger which to me are the worst. The Barn Burger was tasteless. Carl's Jr. burgers have more flavor. Wife enjoyed the "What the Cluck". As for what the dogs ate, what can I say. If it smells and taste good they'll eat it.

All in all we won't be going back. For $60+ I expect better and this...

I ordered the what is the cluck sandwich today at 2:17pm and noticed it had very little flavor along with a strong smell of beef grease. I am unsure whether the bread may have been cooked with beef grease, or if the chicken was prepared in the same container or surface as the beef burgers. I did want to talk to the kitchen, but there is long line so I didn’t want wait for it and just ate my order. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case it was an oversight in the preparation process. Also there are too many dogs in the eating table area. I feel I was inside the dog park. Every table has at least one or two dogs. Big and small dogs, one dog suddenly barking loudly behind my seat when the owner is waiting in the line, it scared me, owner did say sorry at the time. I don’t feel comfortable to eat in the table with dogs everywhere, especially the big dog is not tied and just sit next to their owner, we ate inside the car in the parking lot. I only ate one third of my sandwiches and don’t feel I want to finish it. I only ate my fries and it is too dry and...

It was our first time going to The Barn located right off 1 Freeway in Half Moon Bay and everything about it was above and beyond! We went as soon as they opened on a Wednesday morning, and they were already swarming with people.

Despite parties filling in, it did not take very long for us to get our food. The food tasted great and they provided extra sauces like ketchup, mustard and hot sauces. The vibe was very nice, we went on a nice warm day so it the experience made it great. Everything about the seating area was very cozy, felt like having a picnic. It was also very clean! On top of all that, the staff was friendly with us and attentive.

Will be going again once we make another trip to Half Moon Bay. We don't live near so unfortunately we can't have it as often as we'd like to, but I think it makes the place more special....
