3.5 stars. My burger was pretty good but my fries were rather chewy and the cheeseballs were excessively breaded with not a lot of cheese inside. The beer was also in the expensive side compared to others in the area. The atmosphere and openness of the interior to be able to see outside was much appreciated. I'll be back to try again and hopefully will increase my star rating. read more

Great, old-fashioned barbecue, nice selection of beers and a friendly staff. I especially enjoyed the pulled pork and the potato salad. We've added it to our travel stops on our way to and from the Wilds. read more

Ok so just tried this out and got the Backyard burger with fries. I was really wanting to like this but I'm not sure so far. First off pay attention to what the menu says is on the burger because if you're expecting the normal things like tomatoes or onions like what comes at most other places, you'll need to request them separately here. The bun wasn't bad. Would be a lot better toasted, also not a fan of using romaine lettuce on a burger. The biggest disappointment was the bacon. It was literally paper thin and only had 2 slices on it. I mean if you're gonna use bacon that's that thin, at least put 4 slices on. The fries were kinda soggy but that could just be because of the container holding in all the steam since it was a to go order. The place looked clean and the staff was nice so I'll give it another shot and try eating in instead of taking it to go and see what the difference is. read more

Fantastic! We got the bbq fried, they were fantastic and loaded with toppings, the wings were Smokey and fresh as well. Not pictured we got a mule and backyard shot. Very well priced and the staff is friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere reflects that as well. 10/10 experience overall read more

Me and my girlfriend have been here for over 2 hrs, still no food. It took over an hour to place an order. Took an hour and a half to get our drinks. Don't recommend this place at all. I wish there was a 0 star rating read more

Food is hit or miss....but ask a server a menu question... ouch.....Hurts my Plantar fasciitis just thinking about it

Don't trust the overall rating: Most reviews are old. Backyard BBQ just reopened for the 2025 season, and we went there on Saturday, May 31 around 5:30 p.m. to check it out. Summary: Morgantown has a lot of good places to get burgers and BBQ, but this isn't one of them. First, the good: * Great space: The owners had a huge additional built, so there is now indoor and outdoor dining on two floors. It's open and airy with tons of windows. * They expanded the parking area. It's still tough to navigate and tight, so they'll likely need to expand again. * The servers were friendly and working as hard as they could to take care of everyone. But they were overwhelmed and needed more help. * They now serve alcohol, with a good selection of beer and cocktails. * The grilled wings had good texture, but the buffalo had no buffalo sauce. The Gold BBQ wings we shared were the best thing we ate. Now, the bad: * Smash burgers are not hard to make and I had been craving one, so I eagerly ordered an Oklahoma Onion Burger. I expected it to live up to the menu description, with tons of browned, grilled onions. What I got was a dry, tasteless patty with literally three slivers of onion. The burger sauce on the side had a weird taste, so I'm grateful they left it off. This tiny, unsatisfying burger cost $12. Total disappointment. * All three of my dinner mates ordered the barbecue - both pork and beef. It was mushy and looked exactly like the slop we got in our high school cafeterias. It was not freshly made; it looked like it had come frozen and been reheated. * Before 6 p.m., they ran out of both fries and their suggested replacement, tater tots. Only one of us even got the tots, and they weren't crispy. If you want somewhere to hang out and have drinks, this is a good place. If they can improve the food, they'll be better positioned for Morgantown's competitive market. read more

This place is a hidden gem for sure! We stopped by after spending the day at Coopers Rock and I'm so happy that we did. It doesn't look like much from the outside but they served me the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Parking is a bit of a struggle and this place was like grand central station. Although there were tons of people they really had the line moving quite quickly. I ordered the bbq chicken combo with curly fries and cheese. The chicken was cooked just right and the flavor was out of this world. It was served on a warm brioche bun. It was the best bbq chicken sandwich I've ever tasted! My boyfriend ordered the chicken cheese steak combo and he couldn't stop raving about it. We both stuffed ourselves full with their generous portions. They have a nice seating area outside and are a pet friendly restaurant. We took our puppy with us and everyone was super nice and friendly with him. I absolutely loved this place and can't wait to go back! read more

The Backyard BBQ - Lunch - Caterers Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

I was driving by and the lights caught my eyes. I had my dog with me and we were both hungry. This place was perfect with outdoor ordering and eating. I ordered 2 dogs and fries. It took about 5 minutes but worth the wait. The hot dogs were deliciously prepared and the chili sauce was terrific! My dog enjoyed his plain hot dog ;) The fries were just crunchy enough and liked the seasoning I highly recommend you stop in read more

Outdoor seating available. Really flavourful food! We ordered a double smash burger, the pulled beef sandwich, and got a side of chilli, curly fries, Mac and cheese and potato salad. My husband said his burger was deliciously flavoured and the chilli is the best he's ever had. The Mac and cheese was a little spicy, due to a lot of black pepper, and the potato salad's potatoes were perfectly cooked--not too mushy and not undercooked! We will return in the fall when it's cooler outside!!! read more

Overall I dig this place. My family and I get dinner here a couple times a month with no real issues. Today we decided to be lazy and order through Grubhub. First I got a notification from the driver that the delivery was going to be late because the restaurant had not finished preparing the food. Turns out the order was only a few minutes late, so no big deal. The problem was I only received two of the four drinks I ordered. I asked the driver who said he was only given two. I called the restaurant and the guy reviewed the order and realized he'd forgotten the two drinks that came with the combos I'd ordered. He informed me I could come get them now or they would make it right. So now I had to drive to the restaurant to pick up the stuff that should have been delivered. This in and of itself isn't a huge deal, but coupled with the fact that I paid a $5 delivery fee and a $15 driver tip, I could have saved $20 seeing as how I had to drive to the restaurant to pick up part of my order. The employee was apologetic, but his apologies did nothing to replace the money his mistake cost me. I'm not sure this is enough to make me not want to go back in the future, but it certainly will make me think twice before I do. read more

This place is the cutest. We backtracked because we wanted something warm not from a fast food chain. We were not disappointed at all ! The food warm, the place adorable. Great customer service; the girl working the register is so sweet. While they were out of chicken we got the smash burgers, bbq pulled pork sandwich and a chili dog. After one bite we decided to order more to go, some can something good as we head to our next destination. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I ate it so fast. Here is one of their outdoor dining read more

We had catering for an event for our staff and we were blown away! Everything was so amazing. Most definitely will use for catering in the future. Highly recommend! read more

We live right down the road and I'm sad to say it took us this long to visit. We tried the OK burger and I think it's the best burger I have ever had in Morgantown. The other option was the Nashville chicken sandwich, which was great and really spicy. The person who ordered that loves spicy and this was sooooo spicy. So beware. The curly fries were good. The fry sauce was good. The outdoor seating was really nice on a lovely evening. It's definitely worth the stop!! And I don't give many 5 star reviews. read more

The location itself is adorable. Got the Nashville chicken which was 4 stars and street corn which was 2 stars. Curly fry sauce was good. The person taking our order (female with light blond hair, early 20s) barely acknowledged our existence and looked unbelievably hungover. She could NOT stop texting while I was ordering. Very immature and unprofessional while on the clock and representing a business. I asked simple questions like what are the drinks, and she barely had it in her to turn over a sign... didn't even bother to verbally reply. If not for this employee, it would've been a very nice experience. read more

What! I was visiting friends in Morgantown, WV and ran into this jewel by the river. Great people working here. They recommended the burger with pulled pork on top. It's outrageous ! Burger is cooked perfectly and the pork was slamming. Well beyond what I expected made better by the happy folks working here. I can't wait to go back, read more

Great BBQ spot in the Cheat Lake area! Super chill with great food- especially their mac and cheese

I love the ambiance here. My SO, son, and I go here after going to Cheat Lake to swim. I haven't had anything bad here so far. I would recommend this place read more

Amazing bbq! Top place. Excellent service and great food. I had the beef burger. Unreal read more

Backyard bbq was exactly what I expected and was not let down. No indoor seating, you order at the outside window and they have outside seating. The smash burger was great. It was charred on the outside but not overcooked. It was seasoned perfectly and had a nice selection of free toppings. The bbq was a little sweet for my liking but still good. read more

I'm not one for writing reviews on here. But this place deserves one. Probably been here 10+ times and haven't had a bad experience yet. The food is so consistent every single time which I love and the burgers and pork bbq are unreal. Best bbq around and definitely worth the trip. Keep it up guys. read more

This is a summer time, cute, outdoor, little hidden gem. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich, the spicy cheese bites, and chili cheese dogs. The spicy cheese bites were very good, however not that spicy but still favorable. The chili cheese dogs were one of the best chili cheese dogs in morgantown. The pulled pork sandwich was what you would expect, however the recommendation of adding coleslaw and pickles elevated the flavors. The side of mac n cheese was average and tasted like a thanksgiving stuffing. Finally up next was dessert which consisted of a vanilla and a strawberry ice cream which was delicious and completed the experience. If you find yourself near cheat lake, this is a must stop by place with a great atmosphere. read more

The food here is amazing. Specifically the best fried fish sandwich I have ever had in Morgantown!

Found this great spot from Yelp on a road trip looking for somewhere to have lunch with outside dining. Read the stellar reviews and decided to try it and we were not disappointed! I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and my husband had the BBQ chicken sandwich. Both were delicious!! read more

This is some of the best BBQ and sides I've ever tasted. (and I lived in NC for a long time!) Just up the hill from Cheat Lake, its a great stop. Had the pulled pork and it was out of this world. Beans are super -- with a small pepper kick. Slaw is perfect for the rich taste of the BBQ. If you are in Morgantown, I envy you. You get to try the rest of the menu. We were traveling along I-68 and wanted something to east (without getting fast food or going all the way down into town). This was a wonderful surprise and we will be back. In fact, after our meal, we got a "to go" order to take home to our kids -- as thanks for watching our farm. Can I give it 6 STARS? read more

So glad we stopped here while on a road trip. My daughter got a corn dog which she enjoyed. I got a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was very tasty but the star of the meal was the shredded bbq beef sandwich with Mac n cheese. That sandwich was phenomenal and the mac n cheese was different from any we've ever had (in the best of ways). We already agreed that this is the place to stop on our way back. Can't wait to come again and try some bana pudding ice cream with our meals. read more

We had high hopes for this place based on the reviews and the fact that they seem to have a steady stream of folks coming and going. I have to say, it was terrible. Perhaps the BBQ is good, but we did not try it since they toss the meat in sauce before it's served, and we prefer to apply our own sauce. Instead, we got burgers--a double and a single--and they were burned. Not crispy on the edges like we were told, but the entirety of the patties were burned black on both sides. I don't mind some burned edges, but when the entire burger is charred it becomes inedible by any reasonable standard. We likely would have had better burgers at McDonald's or Burger King. read more

The best ever. Just finished trying a double cheeseburger and a bbq pulled pork-I'm already sad they're gone!! This is ridiculously delicious cooking!! I'm certain they go above and beyond with all of their dishes-I haven't had a meal this good in a while! So full and content, SERIOUSLY cannot wait to go back! read more

Delicious food and great outdoor space. Limited parking, but they did remedy that a bit. A lot of great food to choose from. Their house sauce Is delicious. read more

I ordered through Grubhub and everything was correct and tasted amazing. I got the bang bang shrimp po boy special, a smash burger which you can never go wrong with, and the Mumbo chicken sandwich. Of course, the yard sauce is one of my favorites to dip anything in. Definitely going to order again whether it be through grub hub or in person! read more

First time trying it, food was gas. 10/10 recommend. Got the pulled pork sandwich combo. Good prices also
