THE BARN

The Barn is easily one of the best places around. The bartenders, servers, and even the bar backs are awesome, friendly, fast, and always on point. The food is amazing every single time, and you can tell everyone there takes pride in what they do. Frank, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure everyone has what they need and leaves happy. Plus, if you’re a football fan, they’ve got every game on. Great people, great food, great atmosphere. Can’t beat it.

I had the most amazing wedding ceremony and reception at The Barn. They made everything so easy from booking, to planning, to set up/decorating and breakdown. As changes came up, the Barn Team pivoted and was so accommodating. The bartenders and waitstaff were attentive and made my family feel at home. The seating for the ceremony on the patio was perfect for the 100+ people and we had plenty of room for dinner tables and a dance floor/DJ inside. All of the guests loved the food and the dessert selection. I would 100% recommend The Barn for an affordable, low-hassle, fun wedding/party.

I hosted my daughter and future son-in-law’s engagement party (brunch) here this weekend and am so pleased this is where I chose to have the event. The owner, Frank, was great to work with from start to finish and the staff was super-attentive and efficient. The food was excellent and plentiful and my guests commented on what a nice party it was. I will definitely be back for future events and would recommend this venue to others.

Went for breakfast with our dogs and everything was fantastic. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing, the food was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly. The owner came and spoke with us and you could tell he was a genuinely kind and interested in making sure everything was great. (And it was). On a side note the dog menu was so cool. They brought dog bowls with water, and the dog portion size was way more than we anticipated (they said thank you!). Only issue was our dog had trouble deciding what she wanted as everything sounded good. (Us too). I would without a doubt recommend the Barn and go back again.

Joe, our server, was fantastic, very hard worker. We had asian dumplings, yum. Then a breakfast burrito and French dip. Large portions and perfectly prepared. We will be back.

A regular stop for us coming back from kids sporting events. Extensive menu mixing everything from pub grub to full entrees but a little more adventurous than the diner. Great atmosphere with lots of TVs to watch sports and live music occasionally on the outdoor patio.

Beaultiful place with nice, big, open bar & dining area with outside seating as well. Service was good, but the poor server was running himself to death with the tables he had stationed in & outside. We didn't have to wait long for food, but there were only two tables w patrons in our section. The short-rib grilled cheese was good. Wanna go back & try something different!

Absolutely one of the best. We booked a brunch for the morning after my daughter’s wedding. Frank was so easy to work with and made sure everything was perfect. The wait staff was helpful and attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely delicious and there was a lot! It was a wonderful way to end our celebration. Would not hesitate to book here again. If you are looking for a place to host an event in the area, I highly recommend The Barn.

What a great find while we were in the middle of nowhere! This is a place that should exist in every county as it really hits the spot on so many levels. I loved the vibe and concept this place had. All the food we ordered was fantastic and the drinks were good too. I wish we had more people so I could have tried out more food, but we were only able to order the shrimp pasta and nachos w/ minced meat (aka chili). The shrimp pasta was fantastic. Often times at these types of restaurants/gastropubs, the pastas can be very subpar, but we were blown away with how good this dish was. The sauce was tasty, the shrimp grilled to perfection and the pasta and veggies very very good. The side salad was also very fresh and the dressing was great. The nachos were great as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish this place were closer so I could come here again to try the different dishes, but fingers crossed they open up a location in Bergen County!

Out in NJ for a wedding and after checking into the hotel stopped in The Barn for lunch. Perfect place to grab food and drinks. Staff were particularly welcoming and friendly. Menu offered both breakfast and lunch options and I would strongly recommend the Market Omelette ( topped off with guacamole ) with hash browns. In addition the grits with brown sugar tasted like they came from the south. The pork tacos and French Dip were delicious and all items were well portioned. You don't come out hungry. Restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating along with a large bar area. Weekends they offer live bands. Nice selection of beers to boot. If I'm ever in Rockway again I'll certainly stop by The Barn again.

I love this place!! It's beautiful interior makes you feel like you're in an oversized cabin. The servers here are all friendly and happy to quickly serve you. The food and drink menu is extensive and has something for everyone. No frills, just a fun time with a tasty bite. Check this place out, if you haven't already!!

The food is so delicious and there is a great variety of menu options from Tacos to pasta to Asian delicacies seafood and steak The staff is very friendly and the rustic atmosphere is casual and cozy The shitake mushroom noodles are crazy good also enjoy the tacos portions are very ample full service bar available with nice beer selection I tend to enjoy an IPA which they have a nice variety

Had a delicious breakfast at The Barn! Staff were so nice and friendly! Lots of parking, not sure why the app said validated parking. Patio was beautiful and relaxing.

It's sad to see what has happened to this establishment. When in the other day for a pizza and it was like plastic cheese and tomato sauce on stale bread. Not exactly up to Jersey standards for a bar pie. Hope the old ingredients and menus and recipes come back.

This was our first meal at the barn since it changed hands. We never used to like it, but this visit was very different in a good way! We went for brunch, and the menu was interesting and had a great variety. I wanted something sweet and something salty, so we decided to split the pistachio and Nutella pancakes. I got the Taylor ham bagel sandwich and hubby had the southern Benedict- we both loved everything. Not to mention service was stellar! Will definitely be going back.

If you ever visited the Chit Chat Diner in Hackensack back when it was in its prime...the owner there and his amazing team have landed at this new location and their brunch is insane!!! The cinnamon swirl pancakes and the Southern Ben were beyond delicious! This will be our new go to spot for sure!

This restaurant was amazing and complete with a dog menu!!! Food for PAWrent was amazing and the staff was wonderful!! My dog gave his brunch 4 paws up as well! This restaurant is incredibly dog friendly! Highly recommend a visit! Follow @DoggieRoadTrippin on instagram for more dog friendly spots!

My wife and I ate the Barn for breakfast in mid-June 2025, and it was extremely good! My wife had the "Lox'd and Loaded" benedict and loved it, and I had the short rib benedict and overall liked it, except for one thing: Most things on the menu go into great detail as to what ingredients are in the dish, but for some reason the short rib benedict leaves out the fact that there are peppers and onions mixed in with the short rib. I'm not allergic to them, I can eat them, but don't really like either one, so I spent a lot of time trying to pick through and pick them out before I could eat. Thankfully I enjoyed the flavor of the dish, but when it looks like the menu goes into a lot of detail about all of the other dishes on the menu, why was this detail left out? All of the staff were extremely friendly and honestly everything on the menu sounded REALLY good.

The Barn is a solid pick for a chill lunch with friends. Came by on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy, so service was fast and friendly. I had the cheesesteak--super flavorful, melty cheese, and that perfect crunchy bread. Also snagged a slice of the vodka pizza, which had a thin, tasty crust I'd definitely go back for. Easy spot, good vibes, and the food hits the mark!

We absolutely love going to The Barn in Rockaway NJ. Weather it is to grab a bite to eat, which there are no complaints, only kudos for everything we've tried (and we ordered so many different meals, appetizers and drinks), to game nights and phenomenal DJ Nights Whatever your jam is, you'll leave The Barn in Rockaway NJ having had a great comfort meal or dancing the night away or a great time playing Bingo or Trivia Games with prizes no less. Keep up the delicious food, great events and we'll keep coming back

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. Terrible service and food. Idk what happened to this place but whatever it is.... Don't waste your time or money.

Love the atmosphere, but love the bread more. So warm so fresh so much yes! The pizza was good, service was quick, atmosphere was immaculate! I want to shout out Logan and Todd for being top notch Barn-Brothas, those BB's know how to make people welcome. I will definitely be back, I wanna check out Bingo. I friggin love bingo. God bless

The old rockaway river barn was way better, the new menu is boring, the service is slow and the quality is not want the barn used to be under the old owner. The new owners had a golden egg in a restaurant and now it's horrible.

Excellent food and unbelievably warm staff. Been twice now and will be regulars. Very dog friendly!

We finally tried this for breakfast and went 2 weekends in a row food was great the owner was there serving he was great this business suffered from the sinkhole issue on 80 but worth a shot

The place is immaculate and has a great outdoor space for when the weather is nice. We had the pork chop and the short rib and they were both amazing. Highly recommend for quality food and nice clean atmosphere. Service was also spot on with both the waitress and hostess. Will be back!

Food Service in atmosphere and the warm welcome is five star. If you have not been to the Rockaway River barn, you should definitely stop by and check it out. Their wings are excellent as well.
