    $15 Flight for 2
    Noel R.

    We stopped in for the Groupon flight for 2. Beer was ok. The Reaper and the Bills are the two best a beers there. If you like a little spice in your beer this one truly has that. It's a tiny hole in the wall place. If you're looking for a place to zone out with a cold beer and you like to support local, this is the place to go.

    The beers were ok, some tasted like they had been on tap for a while. So I stuck with the darker stronger beers. The big Belgian beer was pretty good, as well as their stout. The place is also a homebrew shop which is a huge plus if you're looking for ingredients to brew your own. The bar area is in the front, with a nice bar to sit at. The homebrew shop is in the back. You don't get to scoop your own here, but if you give them your recipe they will do the work for you. Service at the bar was friendly. With the big downturn in home brewing and breweries in general I hope they can stay around. It is nice to have a local homebrew shop!

    Very chill vibe here, everytime we come in it's pretty quiet with very few customers. The beers are decent, they have a spicy beer on tap, J's Carolina, that has a nice heat to it, my husband likes their dark beers a lot. They also have seltzers that I haven't tried yet, but will next time I stop by. It's located in an industrial part of Escondido, they have a small parking lot and there is plenty of street parking.

    Beer was good! I appreciate the craftsmanship! Very down to earth place and low key would come

    "More Fun Blonde" is a great tasting beer. It's got just the right kind of richness that I like. Not hoppy, but it's got a great taste and mouthfeel (if that's a word). Not sure how they do that.

    Backyard Brewery is a great addition to the local craft beer scene here in Escondido. To be honest, the beers were a solid 3.5 to 4 for me....but they are just getting a stride in their brewing in this building and I am already hearing of some great additions to the tap list, so we will have to check the new brews out soon. I will say the English IPA was a stand out for me, a great twist that isnt as common as you would hope. But...that 4th or so star was pulled in by the bartender. Each time the bartender has done a great job of balancing the crowd and made sure I am never left thirsty. So cheers to that!

    Nice brews. A real micro brewery. Not a tap house. Not sold anywhere but on site. Definitely small and funky. Did I say try the samplers.

I plan to come here as many times as I can as I have never seen a brewery this beautiful and to be truthfully, I wanna live here lol. This place is just gorgeous, when you walk in, the main room just opens up into this beautiful spacious BIG room with so much natural light that it floors you on just how beautiful this place is! There is also an outdoor area and oh my! It was like a botanical garden here and they also have a fountain where they have fish swimming in it. A worker here was about to feed the fish when we showed up and asked some kids dining outside with their parents if they wanted to help feed the fish. How awesome! We were a party of 10 and got sat at an outside table. It was just a lovely afternoon to experience this venue. I ordered a habanero margarita and asked that the tequila be substituted with mezcal and that was doable. This drink was OK and next time, I might just get a beer. I had the poke nachos again and wow they were so good. I could eat this every day lol. A few other friends also ordered this dish too. Its popular and I can see why. We had a lovely time here and I am so glad I got to experience this place before it closes. NOOOOOO! I certainly hope it is just temporary and they continue to do something fun with this place. Truly a gem in Escondido! I loved it!

We already had food at the elephant valley restaurant there so we were only planning to get some drinks and snacks. We got the buffalo wings and their bolognese pasta. It was SO good that we will come back soon even though we live like an hour away. Sad news is that they're closing in November :( So go get your food and drinks before they close down. It was such a great place to relaxed before we hit traffic after the Safari Park! And they're super dog friendly too! Bonus point for sure! Even though we didn't have our dogs with us.

Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients!

They have a good selection of beer, milkshakes, and drinks. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
