This place always serves a great time up! My friends and I always use this place for our get together and parties! The owners, Freddy and Robbie are local and always make sure we have a great time. Food is always on point and the bar service is amazing. Brittany usually is our bartender for the outside area and she keeps the drinks perfect. Thank you so much for having a place we can relax and unwind but yet dance our feet off if we choose with the DJ! read more

We brought a group of 50 students in for lunch today! Tom the manager was very accommodating and made sure that the TV's were on and set up to view the inauguration for them. He designed a pre-set menu for the kids and had enough staff on hand to ensure that service was very good. We appreciate all your work in ensuing that we had a great time. And the food was fabulous too!! Thanks again from the Las Vegas group! We will be back in 4 years. read more

This review is based on a delivery order. The food was delivered exactly in one hour, which is no problem with me. We ordered the crab cake sandwich, it was good. The only thing i say is that it's about 1 or 2 ounces away from being worth $15. I'm happy that there is a place that delivers american food. Most options in this area are pizza or chinese food. The food was good on my first order so I'll continue to order from them. read more

Loved it! Excellent burger. Thanks for putting my grilled onions under the cheese. Much appreciated. Great mashed potatoes, as well. Pleasant bartender. I'd go back again! read more

Great place for a cold beer or big dinner. They have awesome specials the chicken fajitas are to die for... cold beer from the tap it doesn't get any better than this... friendly service too, waitress was sweet and prompt read more

Great service. Good food. Sautéed mushrooms, awesome. Ambience...ok. Backyard...3 stars. Friends...5 stars.

Excellent and attentive bartenders. Good HH spot. I've never eaten here but the staff has always been courteous and professional.

Fantastic place! Love coming here for whatever the occasion. Weather a family dinner or happy hour it's got it all. Love the out door patio. The service is great and the food is delicious. Great variety of food. Highly recommend this place. read more

Asked for no side, got fries anyways. Asked for no bun, got no bun. Also no tomato or pickle. Did get a single heat-wilted piece of lettuce thrown in. Burger was good though. read more

The wife and I have been to this place several times over the past three years or so. It has its good points and some not so great. I'll state the good things first and then get to my negative observations. First of all, this bar usually has a DJ on weekend nights and is one of the only bars in the Chantilly area which does. I think because of the DJ, this bar ends up being the only bar in the area with some semblance of a singles scene, although slight. The DJs are good and everyone once in awhile you'll get a busy dance floor- maybe 20-30 people, mainly in the summertime, based on what I've seen. The bar has a large patio which is nice to sit out on warm nights. You can smoke outside, although they push the cigar smokers fairly far from the building. There's no view from the patio, but it's still a nice place to sit, especially with a group. In the winter, however, they put a big plastic tent over part of the patio, and the air can get kind of stuffy and stale in there. We've eaten there a couple of times using Groupon. The food is fine, but not great. I think the food at nearby Bungalow Billiards is better, but Backyard has some items that are different, such as mussels. My main two complaints about the bar are these: 1) the lighting is harsh and unpleasant inside, and 2) the customer service could be better. The patio has dim, soft lighting which is comfortable, but for some reason the inside bar area has brighter, harsher light. It makes it hard to feel comfortable when sitting inside. The service isn't terrible, but the staff don't seem to be that enthusiastic about their job. At least twice, including recently, my wife and I have walked in and the staff has not acknowledged us. In fact, on one occasion as we walked in one of the wait staff was walking towards the door and I tried to make eye contact and she looked down and ignored us. This is a big pet peeve of mine. I've almost always had an overall negative experience with any business in which they don't acknowledge you when you enter. If it happens one time, ok, but when it happens more than once that constitutes a pattern. In my experience, this usually means that there is a problem with the management and it is reflected in the floor staff's attitude and enthusiasm. Still, this bar does offer some attractions that are unique for the area, mainly the DJ and the outside seating area. read more

This place was amazing.The service was great from the second we walked in and right up until we left. They were quick to give our orders to the chef and immediately, the food is delicious we will be back for sure read more

I come here mainly during the warmer months, and usually at night, never had any issues, I'm primarily my friends designated driver, getting drunk off of water (and I do) but every now and then I get to relax and have a drink or two. the patio is the designated smoking area. so obviously its going to be a little smokier than some places and not really bad. spring summer and into fall are the best times to go, after that (in winter) they pull the walls down and it becomes stuffy and harder to move around. usually good music, but it depends on the DJ. but if you like loud music. awesome people, goodish food (I mainly eat the cheese fries) and a great night and time, then this is the place for you. read more

I normally like this place for lunch or for drinks. In the summer they have a wonderful outdoor seating area. Recently, however, my husband went in for their brunch. While the brunch was delicious, I was turned off by a manager's comment. While eating, I suppose others were going up to the bar and eating up the seafood "too quickly". The manager pointed this out, in front of paying customer's by saying "I can't keep bringing this stuff out. These people are just eating it all up too fast." Well, I suppose that is what people do at a buffet and if they don't like that they shouldn't have one. While it may be true that some go to further extremes than others, I thought it was in poor taste for the manager to make comments about it in front of the other paying customers. It made me not want to go back. read more

Their mojitos (the blueberry and the mango) and calamari are amazing!! For sure going back!!! :)

The service is slow, however the food is pretty good.

I ordered delivery from Backyard Grill on a Saturday night. The food arrived quickly - and was actually still warm when it arrived (which is why I am giving them 3 stars instead of 2). I ordered the chicken tender platter (for $13 - which was supposed to include coleslaw and fries) - the meal only included the tenders. I also ordered chicken tenders for my son from the kids menu (for $6 - iit came with a fruit cup). So essentially I paid an extra $7 when I could have just order the kids tenders. I am sure it was just an oversight - but I didn't place a huge order - you think they could have gotten it right. Not sure I'll give them another chance... read more

The food appeared to be good compared to restaurants around it. We went in on a Sunday night and had no real expectations. When you first walk in you, you will notice a heavy coated cigarette smell (Great if you are a smoker) but the smell dimmed down as you set further away from the bar/outdoor area. After you sit down, you realize the place is sticky and employees may have been smoking as well. Later we discovered, this place allows smoking inside (based on other reviews). For a Sunday this place was empty, the bar was empty, and employees did not seem to care much. Although our waiter was well informed and took care of us. The food was good and the dissert was awesome, but the place lacked identity as to what they really are. For the food it serves and how it tastes, this place should be busier. The smoking issue needs to be resolved as not everyone enjoys a smoky atmosphere, which is not attractive. Great space inside but won't come back due to smoking issue. read more

I took a chance on delivery burgers. It was well worth it. The burger is delicious. I would likely get one less cooking level than desired, as carryover happens in travel. and i baked the fries on a pizza stone to crisp them up a bit. The Caesar salad was amazing, the dressing tastes delicious, just like when i make it at home. All in all it was great, and i will be getting it again. Edit: I got the crab cake sandwich and soup of the day for the second trial, just as amazing as the burger. This place really deserves a higher average of stars. read more

Our first time at Backyard was the Easter Brunch. Food was very good and there was an excellent selection. Syed was our server and he took really great care of us. Our drinks were never empty and conversations were welcoming. We eat out a lot and this by far was the best service We have had. read more

A great local place. If you come to Backyard you need to come when Syed is the bartender! He makes excellent drinks and is very personable! He will make sure you enjoy your time at the bar:-) Come have a drink and say hi. read more

Food was good if not above average for a place of this type. The patio is great on a nice day. Our server Corey was one of the best I've seen anywhere. Although there were definitely some sketchy folk hanging around the bar on a Sunday afternoon, they seemed pretty harmless. Four stars based on service and a great chicken sandwich. read more

The service is fast and food is good. Don't eat on the patio unless you like cigar or cigarette smoke.

Amazing food and service. I had the French onion soup which was probably one of the best I've ever had! And the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. Food and service were outstanding read more

I don't normally write a review, but the bar staff we had last night really impressed me. Our bartender her name was Rhi was so friendly and attentive made two out of towners feel like family. She suggested drinks that fit our tastes perfectly and behaved with flawless professionalism when she had to deal with an extremely obnoxious patron. If it had been me, I would have hit the guy, but she maintained a calm and considerate manner. Its not often you see a young person with that level of professional demeanor. I will be back next time I'm in town, and have recommended this place to my local friends. Thanks for a great experience Rhi! read more

We had a great experience at Backyard Grill. The spinach dip was great and came out steaming hot. The breakfast burger and turkey burger were both delicious. The staff were accommodating and helped us find a table to watch the game we were looking for (and changed TVs to the game to help us out). Quick, friendly service. read more

I had been craving a steak for weeks and finally decided to have one delivered from Backyard Grill. I kept thinking this isn't going to be as good as I what I want since it is being delivered. Let me tell you the 14 ounce ribeye was the best steak I have eaten in years. The mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans were terrific too. OMG.... so good. It arrived hot and I will order again. They are my favorite place to order from already. The coleslaw is the best anywhere. Thanks. read more

Had lunch at Backyard Grill in Chantilly today. Great experience from the moment we walked in. Hostess asked if there was a game we were interested in so we could be seated near the TV, service was quick, food was great! Our server checked on us several times, asked how our food was and the manager checked on us as well. Bonus, we had enough leftovers for dinner tonight. Thanks for a great experience Backyard Grill. read more

Great food, don't know why others are under-rating them! I have found the food and service to be good and we are repeat customers regularly. That many repeats can't be weing! read more

I like their prime rib. They cook it just the way I like it. It's medium rare and flavorful. Most restaurants tend to cook prim rib where it has a mealy feel , not here. My husband loves the New York, medium rare. The only bad thing about our visit is the food was not spaced. Our appetizer came after the salad and the food came while we were still eating. This is the first time this has happened at this place. The service is quite good usually. Friendly and efficient. Good food good place." read more

I went here last Friday evening for a steak. When you walk in, the unmistakable ol' smoky bar smell hits you. You can sit in the bar area or be seated on the left side where it's more your typical restaurant. The service was good and the food was good, a little expensive for a steak. I ordered the steamed vegetables but they were drowned in enough butter to make you think they were sauteed instead. I would consider going back but wouldn't be my first choice for a date, or even a steak. I would actually choose Jackson's in Reston first. read more

The place looks fantastic and very well run, The food was tasty and timely, the place was very clean and the bartender on the deck was courteous and attentive. I would recommend this place. read more

For delivery to a nearby hotel. Steamed seafood was delicious. Delivered pretty quickly, and the food tasted great. What else can you ask for? read more

Food was good service was decent. We went for lunch and kept it super simple (K.I.S.S) because we were from out of town looking for a quick bite, nothing too complicated. The wings were good the burgers were decent. The place looks like it gets pretty rowdy at night (graffiti in the bathroom, some punch marks, a busted T.V.) but the beer is cold and food is decent so giv'em a try. read more

I've been to the bar...once. All I'll say is that it's fun, cheap, close, and a bit smokey. Can't ask for or expect much more in Chantilly. I usually order delivery. I must say, everything I've ordered has been delicious, so far. They update the order accordingly online and always deliver within a reasonable timeframe. The food, though. The food is very good. I highly recommend any of their salads, ahi tuna poke, Tex mex egg rolls, and the shrimp po boy. So glad to have a delivery spot with tasty food nearby. read more

Excellent crab cakes, great happy hour wine price and excellent service with Karez. Celebrating 6 months with my wife and we will definitely be back! read more

I've been here three times, and each time I never cease to be amazed at how well they do such a wide variety of dishes. The waitstaff is all friendly and the manager, Pedro, came around to each table to say hello and see how we were enjoying our experience. He's very friendly and obviously cares deeply about the experience of patrons. As far as food goes, the ginger calamari is a true gem amongst gems, an opinion which my friend shares (we have to compete with each other, it's THAT good). I supremely recommend the Philly cheese steak and blackened AHI Tuna Tacos, but the wraps are also excellent. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a warm, lively atmosphere with friendly staff and excellent food. 5/5 read more

I rarely travel to bars outside the beltway, but happened to venture out last night to Backyard Grill to see comedy via a friends request to support a comedian. 3 Comedians went on. The first comedian I've seen before and his material was somewhat redundant as the last time I saw him out, but he shows promise and was actually pretty good. The second comedian I had also seen at a previous venue but his material was sensored this time because his school teacher girlfriend's boss happened to be attending and he didnt want to offend her so needless to say he shouldnt have been up there and ran out of material very quickly. However, the third comedian, and the headliner was just a complete waste of my time to say it mildly. He began with how 'he never finish school but that he should be respected for living life his way'. Well it was apparent that he never finished school because he didn't do his homework and had no material at all. He was dirty, a beergut, and actually looked homeless. He was very sad and difficult to watch. I wanted to go hand him a few bucks but instead just left. Comedians out of respect for their audience, and if they want them to be repeaters, should do their homework and show up with new or decent material. I mean, I drive miles out of my way to see them, at least have the respect to show that you have at least tried. Aside from that the appetizers at this place were fine, the service was good, but then again the place was rather empty. I'm done with amature comedians, what a waste! read more

I just walked in to go to the bar. There was no hostess at the station. So I went to the bar. About half way there, a middle aged woman with no ID on her dress glared at me and said "What can I do for you???". I said, "I was going to the bar, who are you?". She just nodded. I thought to myself, how rude. She just looked like a customer, no identification, didn't identify herself. She was in black like the bar staff but at least they had Backyard identification on their shirts. Service was terrible. Waited over 10 minutes after receiving my bill before my credit card was picked up while the server yacked. He got 10 % and that was a gift. If you don't have a "please wait to be seated sign" and the front isn't staffed, a customer will think it is seat yourself which is what I tried. Mark my words, there won't be a second time. read more

Went with my family to Backyard last night. We had steak, salad, and Desserts. Everything we had was very good and the dining room was nice. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Everything was delicious! We had calamari as a starter, I had the grilled salmon with a caper sauce, Israeli couscous and veggies, my husband had the backyard steak salad, my daughter had a crab cake sandwich (very meaty) and my youngest daughter had a grilled cheese and applesauce from the kids menu. read more
