    Chicken fried steak, okra, mashed potatoes
    Amber W.

    We pass Backyard on our way to fish all the time and finally decided to stop in. I was really surprised by the inside, I think I was expecting a walk up and order setup. We really enjoyed the vibe, even sitting in the bar area. The waitress/bartender was very friendly and helpful. I like that the menu has lots of options other than BBQ plates. I had the Famous Bubba Tater and husband had the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak is probably the best you can get the area; the breading was unbeatable. Both plates were generous portions and everything tasted great. Can't wait to go back!

    First impressions - they have a big parking lot, plenty of seating, a nice bar area, and the general vibe was cool. It's a BBQ place that's very comfortable to eat in as opposed to grabbing food to go. Despite being called Backyard BBQ, they don't have much of an outdoor eating area, but there are some picnic tables for outdoor eating. They were playing some good jams but the music wasn't too loud to have a conversation. We ate at the bar and I had a sangria. It was pretty good! The bartender was also serving tables and she was friendly and took good care of us. She made sure we had extra BBQ sauce and paper towels before our food came. On that note, food came out pretty promptly. We both ordered plates with a variety of meats and sides, so we ended up trying the brisket, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, potato salad, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The brisket was fall-apart tender but did not have much flavor. It needed salt and extra sauce. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The ribs were boneless, which is weird. I've never ordered ribs at a BBQ place and received boneless ribs, and I feel like it should be specified when you order. But, the ribs were good. Pulled pork was also good. Neither blew our minds. Mashed potatoes were good. I'm pretty sure the green beans were canned, but they were pretty good canned green beans! I like that there are so many menu options. I don't always want BBQ, and usually if you're at a BBQ place that's all you can get. If someone is craving BBQ, you can go to Backyard BBQ and have non-BBQ options. I think we'll come back because it's close and it was pretty good. It just wasn't great.

    Good food. Great service, But please, keep politics out of your establishment. "Trump" sign will entice me to go elsewhere. Your beliefs? Fine. Apolitical is the way to go in the business world.

    Fried Onion Ring Burger with Fries! Delicious!
    Tate V.

    Backyard BBQ 05-29-24 Nice open country atmosphere. Friendly people. My family ate dinner here and the food and service was exceptional! I had the Fried Catfish Basket with a Side Salad and Thousand Island Dressing! The fish was hot and crispy with plenty of flavor. My daughter had the Hand Cut 16 oz. Ribeye with a Sid Salad with Ranch Dressing. The steak was cooked just right. It wasn't overly seasoned and tasted great with a little salt added served with a side of Green Beans. My grandson had the Fried Onion Burger with Fries. The onion rings on the burger gave it a tasty crunch and extra flavor. Fries were crispy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. We had an order of Fried Mushrooms with Ranch! That's my favorite. We got a half Smoked Chicken to go and tasted it when we got home! It was moist and tender with a smoky flavor. Our waiter was totally Awesome! He was right there if we needed anything and made sure our drinks were full. He had our to go order ready when we finished our meals. Overall, today was a 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back!

    Ranch Hand Sandwich
    Ian P.

    We went to backyard BBQ after kayaking and boy am I sure glad we did! We had the Bubba fries as an appetizer and I had the Ranch Hand for my entree. Both were very good legit 8 out of 10 BBQ. The ranch dressing was also really good. No prices on the menu which was... interesting. Final bill was fairly inexpensive. Will stop here again! Amazing food and great staff!

    Large and unnecessary political signage.

    For a hole-in-the place it was great. Ribs, bake potato, chicken fried steak, quesadillas all were great. Will definitely come back.

    Service sucked. Took a over thirty minutes to get drunks. And over a hour to get food that came out wrong. Also the food was mediocre.

    Adding a 5th star. This place is just ridiculously delicious. Only time I am ever disappointed is when they run out of taters.

    Scores Pizza and Wings…read more I went here with my family for a late lunch. We were told to sit where we wanted and did. The dining area was bar tables. Very basic. They only had one wait staff so it took a while for her to get to us. We ordered some appetizers to start with the ordered our meals. She forgot to turn in my daughter's Chicken Wings for her meal. We had finished our food when she came back an apologized for forgetting her food. So my daughter ate from my fries and grandsons pizzas! Now, What food we did get was good! The pizzas had a lot of toppings and were good. The Fries were good with lots of toppings. We ordered: Fried Mushrooms, Served with Homemade Ranch. Very Good! Fried Pickle Chips, Crispy and good. Served with Homemade Ranch. Pork Rinds, Served with Buffalo Sauce. Extra Crispy and Great Flavor Looking forward to having them again. 10" MONSTA - Hamburger, pepperoni, canadian bacon, chicken sausage, tomato, bell pepper, onion, olive & mushroom. 10" HALL OF FLAME - Hamburger, pepperoni, sausage, jalapeno, tomato, bell pepper, onion, olive, mushroom & buffalo sauce SANDMAN FRIES - Fries loaded with cheddar cheese, queso, carne asada, sweet Texas Heat sauce, ranch & bacon. We were looking forward to trying their Bone in Wings - Buffalo Garlic Parmesan & Dry Rub Ranch! Maybe next time they can get our order right. Sometimes things happen for a reason.
