We went on a Saturday during lunch time and we found parking quickly & there was about a 10-15 min line to order your food. There was plenty of seating and loved how they added the garden space to accommodate more people! We ordered a variety of food: Half Caesar Salad (pretty standard), Mac Attack (THE BEST ITEM ON THEIR MENU IMO!), a Burger, a Grilled Cheese, & Barnold Palmers. Everything was delicious, however, my friend ordered a side of fries and received a separate scanner for them and never got them by the time we all finished eating (she did get a refund tho). I will be back & get the What the Cluck sandwich! I've had it before and it was a phenomenal combo of ingredients!

Great lunch spot with a laid back experience. Good spot for families and friends. Burger was pretty good and would've gotten fries if they weren't $7... other than that great experience in half moon bay.

I ordered Hot Farmer Burger and it was delicious, the crispy fried onions were so good. I also really enjoyed the Mac Attack, probably the best fried mac and cheese ive ever had. Service here was great! They have outdoor seating available and it was decorated very nicely.

Located a 5 min walk from the quality in. Next door to a Chinese restaurant. I knocked it down a star because I thought it was a tad expensive. We got a burger, fried, salad, beer for $51.96. The price is probably comparable to other places in the area it being a resort town and all. Fries were perfectly crispy. They are thin fries. You get a small bag loaded with fries. Plenty for two to share. Burger is just ok. It's piled high with fried onions. I wish the patty was thicker to match the amount of onions that is on the burger. It needed to be juicier and a thicker paddy and less onions. Summer Salad-fresh green mix, peaches( under ripe, not sweet), nuts, burra cheese, dressed. It was a good big salad. Beer was good to the last drop. Ambiance was nice. Sit in the beer garden. It's an enclosed area with heaters and lights the space is wonderful. There is a second area to sit right outside the food service area. It's like sitting in the parking lot. Pass on this area. Overall I'd return. It was walking distance from our hotel.

Love this place! The barn is super cute and makes for cool photo. It's in Half Moon Bay but far enough from the beach to not have heavy crowds. It's a chill place for a meal on a warmer day because they only have outdoor seating. They also have a cute little beer garden area! Dog friendly :-) It's a farm to table restaurant and you can immediately taste the freshness in all their food. They have great vegetarian options and I always love a place that has all day breakfast options. I ordered the pretender and added fried onions (my favorite) and beets. It was a hefty burger but omg sooo tasty. The patty is made from mushrooms and farro so it's very filling and hearty. The lemon arugula balanced out all the flavors. Yum. My friend and I shared the mac attack and they're not over hyped! If you are a mac and cheese lover you must order these. They were crispy and gooey, great cheesy flavor. Definitely recommend when you're in the area!

Decided to try this place out after a morning hike in Half Moon Bay. We went right at opening and were the first customers there on a Friday morning! I believe they only serve breakfast on Fridays and Saturdays. The place itself is super cute and looks like such a nice place to grab food with friends and family when visiting. They also have a grass area for people to play cornhole and giant jenga! Plenty of tables for seating as well. My friend and I ordered the avocado toast with bacon and a side of scrambled eggs, breakfast burrito, and a side of fries. The avocado toast was on a perfectly toasted piece of sourdough and was topped with arugula, tomatoes, and pickled onions. I added bacon which they chopped into small pieces and put on top. The pickled onions were such a nice touch and I really enjoyed them! The breakfast burrito was also amazing! It has eggs, potatoes, avocado, and chorizo. Super filling as well. The fries were so good and tasted so fresh! Similar to in n out fries (for reference) since they're made so fresh! Would definitely come back and take more friends and family here!

The Barn felt like a hidden refuge as we pulled in. The first thing we noticed was how open and welcoming the patio area was. We were immediately hooked. Upon entering, we were drawn to the burger menu and opted for "The Barn" burger and also added a side of fries. I decided to get a drip coffee at the end of our meal as well. For their burgers, I like how they have the option of Blue Cheese and also have medium as their default for how the beef is cooked. I did think the price was fair for the burger since you're not an In-n-out or Burger King, but did think $7 for a side of fries was a bit steep. In terms of flavor, the fries were perfection, but the burger was pretty salty (I would go with American Cheese next time or maybe skip the fries for less saltiness). The patty was the main star of the show with the other features of the burger being average. I liked how they use "Eye of the Tiger" beans from Equator for their coffee--a good cup! There's minimal interaction with staff besides ordering, so not much to say about service.

I had hot dog with beef chili! The beef hot dog was plump and tasted charbroiled, with the beef chili and big chunks of ground beef, chunks of tomato's and green onions .. so good! Large portion of chili! Fries good portion and tasty and Fried Mac & Cheese squares were good too! Nice out door sitting on picnic tables, dog friendly! Service good!

Works Like a Barn Operating since 2015, The Barn operates under a simple mission to bring the best of the coast to hungry diners using farm-to-table sourcing from local farms around CA. The Good: *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Parking along the PCH, but they also have their own private lot. *Family-friendly w/ a children's play area *Fast-casual order at the counter, get a buzzer, and wait for it to you know, buzz, and stuff. *Small but mighty local brews on-tap that heavily features Hop Dogma (HMB) & Santa Rosa's Russian River Brewing (Pliny!!). They also have locally-fermented grapes, as well. *Mac Attack is hyped up, but well-deserving of the hype; crispy, creamy, and full of cheesy flavor. These are a must-order. *While we're on sides, their French fries were also superlative. Fresh, hot, and salty just the way they should be and with a little bit of skin still attached. *Old School Pork (pulled pork sammich) was really good and had proper proportions. My only complaint is they claimed it was "spicy," but honestly, they need to kick it up a notch to even register. The Meh: *The burger was put together well, and all the ingredients were fresh, but the proportions were all off imo, especially with the meat, which kinda got lost with all the veg. I'd recommend getting a 2nd patty for the burger to up the ratio for a more perfect burger. *Despite being on the PCH, there's no ocean views here, which can be good, as it's never crazy busy. The Ugly: *All their dining is outdoors, so maybe not a great spot on those cold, rainy days. Conclusion: Chill spot to grab a brew and enjoy some tasty locally-sourced comfort foods.
