Best Caribbean Restaurants in Merrick

the guac and fried plantain appetizer was extremely tiny. there were 4 small-ish fried plantains and the guac was in this tiny metal container, like the one you get ketchup in. there was barely any. i dont think that was even a whole avocado. taste was ok. the fish dish that i got was very good. this is what i order every time i go there. my friend liked her goat dish. red velvet dessert was very good and affordable. i was not happy that they run out of the sparklers for the birthday dessert. i wrote on open table that we were celebrating my friend's bday so you would think they would reserve a sparkler for you. two other tables got the sparklers before us. and they didn't play the birthday music like they did for the 2 other tables. what were we, chopped liver? the music was nice and lively but it was way too loud. you had to scream across the table to hear each other.

My best friend and I stopped here for a very needed girls night after a longgggg work day and it was such a vibe! The atmosphere was perfect—great energy, music that set the mood, and a trendy yet chill setting. We tried a little bit of everything since we read the reviews and settled for the jerk chicken, tacos and wings, and the curry goat. Every dish was REALLLLLLY GOOD. The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor and wasn’t too spicy which we liked, the tacos and wings wad a good starter, the curry goat was tender and delicious. The drinks were trendy and tasty—definitely a highlight of the night. Whether you’re out with your bestie or just want good food and drinks, this spot won’t disappoint. We’ll absolutely be back.

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.

Food, drinks and service was excellent as always.

Great service, tasty food, a great experience overall!
