this a excellent place to eat... johnas raises all his own beef literally like 3 miles away from the restaurant... it doesn't get anymore FRESH than that guys & gals... & he welcomes everyone from everywhere... just ask will ferrell, yes the actor... he actually visited the Barnyard while making Will & Harper... soooooo ya I mean he takes good care of everyone no matter who or what you feel on the inside 💯... Daily specials are always good, but his Hot Beef is unbeatable & fresh from farm to table... Stop bt & try he is 1000 feet off I-35 Leon exit... Tori, Charlie, Cricket, Jen, Aiden, his little Mexican cook, & the rest of his staff are awsome & CUTE... Follow on Facebook for short videos of behind the scenes kitchen-cooking & DAILY specials...

Outstanding little restaurant in small town southern Iowa. My dad and I went on a fishing trip here but because of the rain I think we spent more time at The Barnyard than we did on the lake. All the wait staff are amazing. So friendly and kind. I really liked the solid oak tables and chairs. The food was good. Just an enjoyable time. Loved meeting all the locals. It kind of felt like we were part of the family.

This restaurant did not disappoint! From the friendly customer service to the delicious food, everything was excellent. I ordered the patty melt, and our son had a hamburger both were served hot, flavorful, and of excellent quality. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the presentation of each dish was charming. The warm, hometown hospitality made the experience even better. Everyone who came in was greeted in such a personable and welcoming way. We can’t wait to return! Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality.

The atmosphere was homey and friendly. The service staff was nice. The dining area holds maybe 30-35 people. The food was good. I always enjoy a place that serves gizzards. My little country heart. My husband and I had the special, which came with candied carrots. They were amazing! I don't typically care for cooked carrots, these tasted like sweet potatoes. Just so delicious.

Ordered the Barnyard Burger with sweet potato fries and the “BBQ” Burger w/onion rings, along with the corn nuggets. Food was fantastic, service was fantastic. Tea was great as well! Owner/staff talked with us for a few minutes about where we were from and where we were going. Very Nice place, Staff and Owner. Will definitely stop here again if we’re heading that direction👍
