The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery

An excellent Eatery! The first thing you see is this desert 🌵outside .. 😂 of course, it’s Tucson AZ. Ladies be careful if you are wearing your expensive shoes. 😉When Parking 🅿️ on the dirt. My husband loves to surprise me he didn’t know there were no concrete pavements. I am so glad my husband did take me to this wonderful place. Because it would have been a bummer if I have never seen it or heard about it. Second, what got me to notice was the arch entry and grass as well as things for the kids to play in.., there were dining areas outside that was well shaded from the harsh sun. Once you go in it’s surprisingly beautiful a very busy place. Moderately loud. We had a nice server and and she helped us with our orders we told her it’s our first time there and she suggested some good things😊. My husband had ordered steaks and beer 🍺 a real Texan man 😂. I had the same but with the wine their wine choices are succinct. Of course , later the deserts.. sorry 😣 didn’t take pictures. Last of all, it was a great day and we were both very happy as we were leaving the restaurant. if we were to ever go back to AZ. We will definitely 💯 go back again. Go check it out. You won’t regret it.

What happened? They used to have the best burgers. Went today and they were horrible! The meat patty was only 1/3 the size of the bun. Toppings were sparse also. Very little avocado. No need to go back. Very sad. It had been a great restaurant on this side of town.

I've been to your restaurant several times and had great experiences. This time we went with an experienced Chef friend [he's cooked for very well known entertainers, politicians, and personalities in Long Island NY and Scottsdale AZ].
I was raised in Connecticut so grew up with seafood. I ordered the Clam Chowder, as it was made with homemade broth. When it came, I had one spoonful, I couldn't eat it. The chowder was extremely salty. I offered tastes to my husband and Chef friend- they concurred, it was very salty, too salty to eat. The waitress took it back and I ordered the calamari appetizer instead. Considering my initial order was returned and an appetizer was ordered instead, I expected a fairly quick turnaround (the restaurant wasn't busy). No, not at all. It was at least 25 minutes, before I was served. The other 2 guests were finished already. My husband Tomato Bisque and Chef's Chili was fit to serve, no issues.
I expected a visit from the manager, but that didn't happen either. So now, I'll have to do a Google and Yelp review. I very much dislike putting that negative a review online, but feel justified giving the number of issues we had. I'll let you know, if I get a response!

This place is great. I love the outdoor atmosphere and the area for kids was so much fun for my daughter. I will say that it was a bit costly but definitely worth it. I hope to head back soon.

Food was much better than previous visits and service was excellent. Sat outside, which is preferable if you have trouble hearing. Inside is very noisy.

I really want to like this place because the atmosphere and area are amazing. I have met a lot of people who seem to like it but after three tries of subpar and expensive food, I’m done. Edible at best.

The food wasn’t bad. The reason we were so critical is due to the prices of the food. The chicken in the chicken sandwich was dry. The rib eye steak was too fatty for the fact the cost is $50. You could go to Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn for a better steak at a less cost and just as flavorful. The short rib French dip was fire but I think was missing the mushrooms.
We probably won’t be going back but if we do the short ribs will be ordered.

I took my adult daughter here for dinner and we were enjoyed our visit. The space is wonderful and the menu is creative. The french fries were amazing as was the salmon (in the salmon bowl). The only negative is that the vegetables in the salmon bowl and on my daughter's plate were undercooked. It was difficult to cut them, let alone chew them. Also, the vegetables would have been served better cut up to eat with the rice and salmon. Cutting vegetables in a bowl is awkward. In hindsight, I should have asked the waiter to cook the vegetables more. I'll give the place another try, mostly because the atmosphere is so relaxing and enjoyable and there were many items on the menu that looked fun to explore.

Excellent food, well curated Beer and wine, great place for the family with lots of areas outside. Very comfortable inside and out. I had the fish tacos, both grilled and fried both excellent with red cabbage, mango and the house salsa . House made chips are as light and crisp as you could ever want.

Great food, but it would be better with more indoor seating options. Outdoor seating is great, but most of the time it's too hot to be eating outdoors during the Arizona summer, and the indoor area is cramped and overcrowded.
