After a full day of calm water rafting in Glen Canyon, we were tired, happy, and definitely ready for food — just not anything heavy or fancy. We wanted something close to our hotel in Page, low-key, and easy. That’s how we ended up at The Barnyard, and honestly, it was exactly what we needed.
If you’re in Page for Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, or Antelope Canyon, this is a great spot to wind down without overthinking dinner plans.
How We Ended Up at The Barnyard
Once we got back from rafting, we weren’t in the mood to drive all over town or wait forever for a table. The Barnyard popped up because it was super close to where we were staying, and the whole food-plus-games thing sounded perfect after being on the water all day.
It felt like one of those places where you can just show up, relax, and let the night unfold — which was exactly the vibe we were going for.
First Impressions: Chill and No Pressure
Right away, The Barnyard feels casual. The big red barn, outdoor space, and games everywhere make it feel more like a backyard hangout than a typical restaurant.
You can sit and eat, wander around with a drink, play a few games, or do a mix of all three. There’s no rush, no dress code, and no pressure to do anything other than enjoy yourself.
What We Ate: Barnyard Club Sandwich
We weren’t starving, so instead of ordering a bunch of food, we shared the Barnyard Club Sandwich, and it worked out perfectly.
It was filling without being heavy, stacked with all the classic club sandwich stuff, and easy to split. If you’re in that in-between stage where you’re hungry but not that hungry, this is a solid choice — especially if you want something simple and satisfying.
What We Drank: Grand Canyon Brewing American Pilsner
We grabbed a Grand Canyon Brewing American Pilsner, which felt like the right move after a day outside.
It was light, crisp, and super refreshing — exactly what you want after rafting and being out in the Arizona sun. Easy to drink, nothing complicated, just a good, solid beer.
Games and Grand Canyon–Themed Mini Golf
One of the best parts about The Barnyard is that it’s more than just food and drinks. There are yard games scattered around and an 18-hole mini golf course inspired by the Grand Canyon.
The mini golf course is actually really fun and fits the area perfectly — red rock vibes, canyon-style features, and just enough challenge to keep it interesting without taking it too seriously. It’s great whether you’ve got kids with you or you’re just feeling competitive after a beer.
Why The Barnyard Is Worth a Stop in Page
The Barnyard ended up being the perfect way to wrap up our day. It’s close to hotels, easy to get to, and gives you options — eat a little, drink a little, play a little, or just hang out.
After a day on the water in Glen Canyon, this place hit all the right notes: relaxed, fun, and zero stress.
Final Thoughts
Sometimes the best spots are the ones that don’t try too hard. The Barnyard is casual, easygoing, and just a fun place to spend an evening in Page.
If you’re looking for a low-key dinner with drinks and something fun to do afterward, this one’s a solid pick.
