Met up with some old friends here while visiting New England this summer. Patio was full and trivia was in session at the bar, so we dined in the back restaurant area. Good space for large groups but a bit secluded from the fun. Their menu offered gluten-free options, like lettuce wrapped burgers. Mine was made well and tasted great! Quality French fries and hard cider were perfect companions. Service was friendly and their store was worth checking out after dinner. I left with a cute beer-can glass souvenir. Parking wasn't easy despite the huge private lot. It was pretty full when we arrived so we had to drive around for a few minutes. Overall, a solid brewery far enough away from crazy Elm street. Just wished they were open past 9pm. read more

Second time here only because after the first awful experience they gave us a $100 gift card which was a great gesture but unfortunately food fell short again. Started off with the Nashville hot cauliflower bites and chicken fingers. Recommendation don't bread the cauliflower just deep fry it and the chicken tenders were probably the most embarrassing $15 plate of Tenders I've ever been a part of. See pics below. Super small. Looked like they hurried to save a thrown out batch to make the ticket time. Bison burger order medium it was more medium rare but all good, wife got the grilled chicken sandwhich, both buns were cold and stale. Went there to use the gift card and play music bingo, was there almost 3 hrs and saw the server about 3 times total. We saw the food runner more than our own server. Constantly waiting for drinks to be refilled. Don't need to go back there again. read more

Hadn't been here in a long while and decided to take the kids because they wanted pizza, and I wanted a brew. The list of homebrews is satisfying, and there are enough choices for all. The menu offerings are great, and you won't be able to choose just one thing. My only qualm was that the pizzas came out a bit burnt. But when you've got hungry kids, you don't turn away food. the waiter, Cash, was rather accommodating, as he saw how cramped we were in a 4 person booth, and offered us a large booth in a different section - and he still waited on us! Another waitress even came over to check on us initially, which was great to k ow they all were paying attention. this is a place for a good drink and a fully belly - all the food here is worth a try, from the pizza to the mac'n'cheese. Enjoy! read more

I stood at the hotel right near this. We got there and saw how many cars were in the parking lot and we thought "oh boy let's see the wait" Got in right away and got a booth. Lavender lemonade was fantastic, not too "perfumie" the pretzel tots though, that's another issue. They were AMAZING, I have never had these anywhere else. Such an innovative way to eat pretzels, and let me tell you I am obsessed with pretzels and these were great. When we got there, it was trivia night and it was a fun time. read more

Visited this place as part of our vacation back east. Barely set foot in the restaurant because we opted to sit on the patio and enjoy the beautiful New England weather. The food was great! The burger was a little messy to eat but totally worth every bite. The old fashioned I had to drink was on point. The staff was able to seat us quickly and the waitress never missed a beat! She was right on top of everything. read more

Ya girl went to a brewery just to grab dinner so unfortunately I cannot tell you if the beer was good or not. I was looking for a restaurant that does outdoor dining (due to COVID) for my last hurrah before moving from Manchester, NH and I drove past Backyard Brewery, saw the pretty outdoor lights and sea of outdoor tables, and thought "this place is a winner." We felt pretty safe eating here seeing as the tables were spaced at least 6 feet apart and all the workers were wearing masks and disinfecting/wiping down all the tables. "Frickles!" I love fried pickles and always feel inclined to order them. Backyard Brewery's version is alright. The chipotle aioli dipping sauce is good but I recommend asking for ranch to have a variety. The "BBQ Half Chicken" was not too bad. The chicken was tender and moist. You can definitely tell it had been soaking in beer which added an interesting flavor. The fries were meh. I really liked their "The Prime" pizza! The flatbread pizza was well baked and I liked the flavor from their seasoning. There was plenty of shaved prime rib too on top of delicious white sauce. The pizza had all the right elements and it was well balanced. The truffle oil wasn't overbearing and the arugula added a nice freshness. I would order it again. read more

Fun environment, excellent food and great beer !! Busy restaurant with good customer service and once again- great beer.

Food is overpriced and not that good. Drinks were way too expensive and taste awful. Service was awful waitress didn't meet our expectations at all. Ambiance was ok it's nice inside. read more

We were away on a business trip and this restaurant was next door to our hotel. The place was enormous, with three giant bars and plenty of dining seating. Our waitress Dorsey was superb. Patient and explained the different beers and made some great suggestions. The food and the beer prices were much lower than they could have been. Wife had the Burger with Benefits, a burger you pretty much built on your own and I had the It's Chicky, a full size grilled chicken breast with homemade potato chips. The flights were great as were the seasonal beers. When we heard from a friend which beer was his favorite, the waitress brought a sample. Off the beaten path but definitely worth a stop read more

It's rare that I give all 5 stars but in this case, I would be remiss giving anything less! We had the chicken sandwich, wedge salad and bacon Mac and cheese. Couldn't finish it all! The quality of the food made from scratch was on point! The flavors of each item was rich enough to be enjoyed but not overpowering to detract from another bite. Portions are good and we should've kept it simple but sooo worth it! I am uncomfortable full and I try not to get this way but I couldn't help taking just one more bite! We wanted to try some of their beers but last nights adventures didn't allow the tummy to allow such notions. Maybe later. This place is busy and appears to ne a staple to the area. I wish we had this place back home! Joys of traveling! read more

Something's changed. Backyard Brewery was our go to restaurant for burgers, wings, and ribs. The last time we went which was last fall/early winter we found they no longer serve a regular burger but serve a smash burger instead. I asked the server why the change and she said the cooks were getting too many burgers back because they weren't cooked properly. We went last night and had a wing appetizer. The wings were very fatty. I couldn't bring myself to eat all of the wings and chose to take them home. I ultimately decided to throw them away. I ordered a full rack of ribs, I usually take what I don't eat home for a second meal. The ribs came out cut up in a bowl, not as a rack. When I got home I found myself with an upset stomach and couldn't get off the toilet. In the garbage they went. So, we ended up spending just north of $100 and ended up throwing most of our dinner away. This place used to be a staple for us when we wanted to grab a burger and a beer and sometimes a rack of ribs. It saddens me to say we won't be back again, unless it's to have just some nacho's and a beer. It's time for us to find a new go to place. read more

Love to come see our favorite bartender - Wendy. She always has a smile and great service for you. The food and drinks are great whether or not you like beer. Worth the trip. If she's not her, just ask "Where's Wendy???" read more

Terrible Haddock Chowder. Gristly bacon rind and what appeared to be haddock jerky. with a LOT of salt. Overpriced mediocre drinks.

Great beer couple with good food. We had the hamburger and clam chowder soup. The burger was good quality topped with jalapeños, goat cheese and mushrooms....yummy! The soup was a good size and fresh tasting. Good ambiance and customer service. Lawnmower is a smooth lager that goes well with burgers. Will definitely be back! read more

What a great place! We were visiting the area, looking for a place to dine and saw Backyard Brewery was nearby, so we gave it a shot. (I checked out the photos on Yelp ahead of time). So happy we did. I've been to many a brewery where food is an afterthought and the place is like a high ceiling warehouse. No so at Backyard Brewery. The place is huge, with a lot of outdoor space as well. They had live music going which is always a treat. The beers were great and the menu had a lot of good options. The food was great. Service could of been a little better, but it was pretty crowded and I guess they have a server shortage, like everyplace else. Great place! read more

Gone are the days of white buns and cold fries and this double whammy makes a return much harder. While the crabby patty was good, the bun was twice the size. The waiter should have noticed I didn't eat the fries - the golden rule about golden fries is that they need to be golden hot. My family knows my love of hot fries but why consume the calories of cold fries. read more

I live in NJ and every once in a while I drive up to NH to visit some friends and I always end up coming to backyard brewery! I like the atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and the food is really good. My go to are the smoked wings and I always do a beer flights to taste out different beers before I decide that I want to take some to go. They sell growlers so you can get your favorite tap beer on the go and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home! I love their meat loaf too, the only thing I wasn't a big fan of is the prime rib but besides that I would recommend this place any day! read more

We were looking for a place to grab a quick drink before meeting a plane. We were so happy to come here. There was no wait and we were not hurried at all since we really weren't ordering much. We did order the Brussels sprouts apps and it was delish. What impressed me the most and what will make me come back is the caring service we received when we were leaving. My friend had a cane and it broke on the way out. The concern they took was nothing I had seen before. They offered a chair for her to sit while they did a repair to the cane. There were three workers helping. I will definitely return when we have time to sit and have a full meal. Thank you for the kindness and care you showed to us! read more

Beer was decent, but the food was disappointing. Very lacking in flavor and size. Ordered the heifer sandwich was described as having a heaping portion of meat, but came with maybe two slices of meat and tons of arugula and picked onion. Could barely taste the "sauce" and just honestly tasted the veggies. Also ordered the topping cow. Nothing was seasoned, not even with salt and pepper. It was extremely bland and there was no hint flavor. The veggies were just steamed, again no flavor or seasoning, and the mashed potatoes were ok. The service was alright, not our waitress fault on the lack of flavor, but just overall disappointing read more

I am staying near the Manchester NH airport for work and wanted to grab a light meal for dinner with leftovers for lunch. The beer selection is great and delicious. I ordered the OG prime rib egg rolls and YES.. crunchy egg roll with soft tender roast beef sweet spicy dipping sauce. Spot on. I also ordered a pizza to go so I'd have left over lunch. The Brewer's Pizza is perfect flavor combination and well thought out. The bartenders were all attentive and interactive. I'll be back read more

I really enjoyed the flight of beer, the creative cocktail menu, and the tasty bar food options here. Typical for 2020, we were seated outside in a seating area that used to be a parking lot. There were numerous propane fire pits amongst the tables and there was a good social distance between each table. I hope to return during my next trip to NH and hopefully after the pandemic read more

Enjoyed this place so much, we went back there two weeks in a row! It was December, so due to the weather we were seated inside. FOOD For our first visit, we ordered the chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, burger, and smores mudpie. For the second visit, we had same chicken fingers, also the wedge salad, Brussel sprouts, and 'chunky brewster' brownie sundae. All items were truly delicious, excellent food quality, and good portion sizes. The only disappointment was the chunky brewster brownie sundae- there were so much strawberries/strawberry sauce on it, that it altered the whole dessert where you couldn't even taste the brownie or chocolate fudge which is the whole point of this dessert! So if you do order it, tell them to hold the strawberry sauce. ATMOSPHERE It is a nice place, pretty large, with a casual atmosphere. There is a long bar with big screen tvs and plenty of seating that is a mix of booths and tables. We were there at off times of the day and it still had a good crowd- but it was Christmas week. There was a mix of families, couples, work colleagues, etc. Some of the booths in the room that is not the bar have the glass windows were you can see the tanks of beer fermenting. It was glowing blue when were there! There was plenty of parking, but this location is at a sharp corner/turn in the road so be careful getting in and out of there. read more

Beer is good. Get the chicken and waffles. Love the nut brown beer. TVs abound, good lighting. Clean. Spacious.

Wow what an amazing place !!! For starters, nice open parking lot , and exterior is welcoming with a cute deck with lights and fire pits. Interior, cozy modern atmosphere and once you get to the dining area, it opens up with plenty of tables and booths. I had the Fruitcart stickup guava and cherry sour beer , SO GOOD , and I'm not much of a beer drinker! The fried pickles and Buffalo dip were the best we've had. But wow their pickle pizza special was worth every bite. Packed with flavor , I never thought pickles on pizza would taste so good. Believe it or not I had room for a notorious PIG taco and some sriracha fries. The tacos were stuffed with pork carnitas and just the right amount of cabbage and spicy sauces , the fries were a perfect match. This review does this place no justice , you need to try it for yourself. I WILL be going back !! read more

Upscale brew pub. You can come here to get together with a group of friends for drinks and a game or enjoy a relaxing meal with your family. A great neighborhood local. I really liked the interior layout. Rather than being one large space, there are multiple spaces which really helps with noise dampening. The food is very good. Ample servings. I was disappointed in one of our orders of pretzel bites as they had been over salted. The brewery produces a full range of beers and they complement the menu. read more

Always love coming here. Friendly service and the food and drink are always amazing. I can't recommend the backyard enough.

Dave was amazing. I was feeling down tonight so I called a few friends to grab a drink. Dave came up to the table and immediately started shitting on us. I've never felt so at home while away from home before. Dave has earned my business for life! He also had the best OTPHJs around. Dave got more than just a fat tip tonight read more

Great beer and great food to boot! I came here with my husband and two cousins during a trip to visit them in Londonderry. We ended up ordering a handful of appetizers to share amongst the 4 of us. The smothered pretzels "tots" were to die for. Seriously, they were amazing and you should order them, too! We ordered the nachos with chicken, the crispy brussels, and the chicken wings. These four appetizers + the beer ended up being filling enough that we didn't have room for entrées. I ordered Snow Squall and it was excellent. I always appreciate a brewery that doesn't solely serve IPAs, DIPAs, etc. The night we visited, the temperature dropped quickly after we arrived and the sunset. They staff relocated us to a table to be closed to one of their firepits so that we were a bit more comfortable in their outdoor dining area. read more
