Made my return to this restaurant for the third time to finally experience the happy hour menu. I tried the sliders, the wings and the hush puppies. Everything was delicious!!! To top it off I had two of their signature drinks called the Filé sour . My favorite drink right now is their seasonal cocktail their Winter sangria which is really like Christmas in a glass, however, it is not on a happy hour menu. Our server, Liam was friendly, professional, and kind and if you’re ever there celebrating a birthday, please request Patty, who has the voice of Jennifer Hudson meets Tina Turner to sing for the guest of honor!! if you have an experience this restaurant at least once I encourage you to do so signed a faithful customer!

Great vibe and ambiance. Not much room to dance if the mood strikes, which there was a very good DJ at the time but other than that food was delicious, Wait time was normal & aesthetic was very a cool retro Hip Hop vibe.

Outstanding. This was our 3rd time at the Barnyard. It seems that each time, the food gets better. The Jer Chicken tacos were fantastic, and Jerk Chicken dinner was the best. My wife had the Rasta Pasta. She loved it. The Barnyard has quickly become our favorite spot.

Sugar Bar is a vibe!! I drove from Baltimore to visit. The hospitality, food, ambiance and bartender Terrell all top notch. Thursdays entertainment is worth the drive. One thing we did have a comment on is the cover charge for the upstairs. You watch the entertainment on a tv. We got paying the cover charge for the main room. My thoughts were the cover charge is for the host possibly. Either way, it is so worth visiting!!! We had an amazing time.
