Augusta, NJ – The Sussex County Miners have teamed up with The Barnyard, an award-winning local restaurant, to craft an elevated dining experience at Skylands Stadium. The celebrated eatery will operate the stadium’s new restaurant and bar and oversee concessions operations.
Renowned for mouthwatering burgers and BBQ, The Barnyard has been a staple in the local food scene for nearly five years. The Barnyard was voted Best Burger and Best BBQ in 2023 and 2024 by the New Jersey Herald’s Best of Sussex County Community Choice Awards.
“The addition of The Barnyard at Skylands Stadium continues our long-standing tradition of offering fans a welcoming atmosphere and superior food and beverage options,” said Michael Dorso, owner and president of the Miners. “We’re proud to collaborate with Paul and Amy Fiorentino of The Barnyard. Their 30-plus years of combined food industry experience, award-winning cuisine, passion for excellence, and reputation for exceptional hospitality will enhance the stadium’s dining experience for our 10th anniversary season and beyond. With The Barnyard on board, we envision Skylands Stadium becoming a premier destination for sports, entertainment, and dining.”
“We’re beyond excited to bring The Barnyard to Skylands Stadium,” said the Fiorentinos. “As a family from Sussex County, we take great pride in serving our community and can’t wait to provide Miners fans an unforgettable dining experience—in the restaurant and concessions. We want to offer more than just ballpark food—we want The Barnyard to be the go-to gathering place for families and food lovers in North Jersey.”
“Providing the best possible experience for our fans has always been our top priority,” said Vincent Sangemino, general manager of the Miners. “The Barnyard will raise the bar for ballpark dining and ensure outstanding food and service throughout the stadium. Fans can also expect shorter concessions wait times and new product offerings to take their gameday experience to the next level.”
What The Barnyard Will Bring to Skylands Stadium
- An Expanded, High-Quality Menu: Savor The Barnyard’s signature burgers, mouthwatering BBQ, smoked meats, and other fan favorites, plus new specialty items created just for stadium concessions.
- An Enhanced Beverage Selection: Indulge in a wide variety of thirst-quenching drinks, including craft beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.
- Faster Service: Enjoy an improved concessions experience with upgraded technology, streamlined ordering, and more efficient food preparation.
- Special Events and Year-Round Programming: Catch gameday promotions, watch parties, live entertainment, and community-focused events throughout the year.
The Barnyard’s menu mixes traditional and new American cuisine using the finest quality and freshest ingredients. Meat lovers will delight in an extensive burger selection, including the famous Yard Burger, an expertly grilled certified Angus beef patty topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and the MSD Burger, named after Branchville’s Milk Street Distillery. This burger features a BBQ sauce made with the Distillery’s “War Penny Bourbon” and a generous helping of bourbon-candied bacon, crispy onion straws, and bleu cheese crumbles. For those not in the mood for beef, The Barnyard offers “Not Burgers”—a scrumptious selection of chicken and pork options—and a large assortment of appetizing sides and salads.
