Barney's Bar and Restaurant is set beside Nanyuki Airstrip, close enough that you can watch planes take off and land while you eat. The kitchen serves wood-fired pizzas, grilled meats, and fresh salads, with ingredients sourced locally where possible. The menu includes breakfast dishes like eggs Benedict and croque monsieur, pasta such as spaghetti carbonara and fettuccine alla boscaiola, and mains like pan-fried snapper fillet and grilled steaks.

The dining room looks out over the airstrip, so the view of planes landing and taking off becomes part of the meal. The kitchen also offers a range of sandwiches, salads, and desserts, including fruit salad with yogurt and a banana split.

The restaurant is popular with locals, travelers, and aviation enthusiasts alike, drawn by the combination of food and the working airstrip just outside. You can hear the planes from the table, and the view changes with every takeoff and landing.
