Thank you for helping us through our stress tears. Bonus info: place is super clean. Parking is a pain with the small lot on a weekend night when it's busy so park down the street. Playground in the back for kiddos. read more

Cute little spot to have lunch/dinner with indoor and outdoor seating areas. There's even a little playground for kids outside. I've been here twice and the burgers are pretty good. Super friendly staff. You order first and then find seating. I wish they had more burgers to choose from though. I got the boom burger and I like the little kick of spice you get from it. Other options are sloppy joes, hot dogs, ribs, and chicken sandwiches. My brother's grilled chicken sandwich was pretty good-he added raw jalapeños which made it ever better. Love that they have tater tots, fries, and sweet potato fries. The regular fries are a little too potato-y for me but that's just me haha. Overall, pretty good and would def come back! read more

I cannot throw enough high fives...this place and the folks who run things are the best! Delicious and fresh food, creative and yummy drinks, awesome outdoor atmosphere, above and beyond awesome service...they get all the stars - and hearts! Oh, and they're very eco-conscious, too. A great place to get work done, meet clients or have an organic Frosé...or three with friends. read more

The Backyard - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

How you gonna charge $9 for a subpar kids cheeseburger? I tried a bite. Overdone, thin and absolutely nothing special. Would have been better off taking my kid to Wendy's. It came with a drink and a tiny tiny fruit cup, but still $9?! That was we spent on the pulled pork sandwich and more than the chicken sandwich we also purchased. I guess you pay for the playground out back. As for our grown-up food, mediocre. Service was mediocre. All around mediocre. NOLA is a foodie paradise, you can do much better here. There are some perks though: the set up is great. We enjoyed the fast casual ordering and the outdoor area. Having the playground and picnic tables was great. If you're a tired parent, it's worth the so-so food for the convenience of the playground and laid back atmosphere. read more

The Backyard - Kids cheeseburger (sorry it's half eaten ) - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've visited backyard a couple of times I've had the brisket sandwich. That is awesome. I've also had the burger and the pork sandwich. Now the price for one sandwich such as the brisket is nothing different than anywhere else but the next time I go back, I will have the brisket once more awesome food awesome service. read more

Amazing service and even crazier food! This place is the one to stop at if you're needing that BBQ fix read more

The Backyard - Smoked St Louis ribs - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Smoked tuna was great. I ate it without the chips. I had a cheeseburger. Real meat, real toppings.

Interesting spot serving great burgers, crispy tots, tender succulent brisket, and good muffeletta deviled eggs. They made a nice honeysuckle vodka, aperol, and soda as well. read more

Food was super good! Got the Burger and the Smoked Chicken Wings, highly recommend! The food was out really quickly.

Food is always incredible, service is always amazing, owner frequently makes the rounds and takes orders, and the atmosphere is always great

Food was only okay. Brisket was delicious but sauce was bitter, too vinegary and the tots were just tots. It was way over priced. Outdoor setting was nice all to expensive for what you get. I can't imagine bringing a family there for a meal. read more

This is a pretty cool looking venue with a nice patio area (AKA "Backyard" area). After sampling the bbq brisket, burger and chicken I would have to say the brisket is definitely the winner here. The guy at the register told me he thought the brisket was better than the Joint's which he was a bit off as I would put it in second place to the Joint and then I would also recommend they start offering it as a BBQ plate option as all you can currently do is get it as a sandwich. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are ok but for the price didn't really impress me other than during their lunch special they offer. You also get quite a selection of sides with regular fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries, potato salad and cole slaw all being offered at an unfortunate extra charge. For my dinner trips this place has never been that busy and food was brought out fast while at lunch (when they offer their combo special deal that should be an all the time deal) the place is packed and food delivery was quite a bit slower. So if you have a short lunch break this might not be the best option when this joint is crowded. Overall I would say just get the brisket and enjoy it. read more

Came to Backyard on one of my bike rides. Large outdoor seating area is great. Problem I had was I was expecting a char-broiled burger and instead they use a flat top which I don't like. I ended up getting the grilled chicken which was huge but pretty tasteless I had to add bbq sauce to it. One of my friends ordered the brisket which actually looked great if I come back I will try that next time. The fries are standard nothing special, the potato salad looked like a better option. Overall not impressed. read more

I'm a cry baby when it comes to fat on my meat! I gotta say, my brisket sandwich was soooo good!! I will definitely order again!! read more

The Backyard - Haven't tried yet, but looks soo good! Brisket sandwich fries and grill cheese kids meal!! - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My boyfriend and I just moved to the neighborhood and had to give this place a try when we saw it was only a few minutes away from our place, and I must say I was AMAZED!!! The service was great, we ordered at the window and ate outside and the guy who took our order was super nice and helpful! I got the Greek salad and he went with the boom boom burger w/ tots and bbq sauce!! The salad blew my mind...I'm always hesitant on getting salads at burger places but it held its own as a healthy choice and I absolutely plan to get it again! I also tried my bfs burger and HOLYMFWOW it tasted like straight heaven after a long moving day!!!!!! Also I would bathe in the bbq sauce it was so good (pretty sure they make it in-house)! Overall great atmosphere and we are planning to go again in the next few days to try more menu items!!! read more

Decided to try a different BBQ place in Nola and wound up at The Backyard Nola. The girl taking orders at the counter was the absolute sweetest person I have ever encountered. She served me up a delicious smoked turkey sandwich with gravy and cranberry relish. Oh, and I can't forget the frozen marg! It definitely had a kick. I wasn't super impressed with the sides options, but I had a great BBQ lunch for 1 on the patio read more

The Backyard - Smoked turkey sandwich with gravy, cranberry relish, and a frozen margarita. - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Just fine. Food is good enough and satisfying, but not worth the prices. Especially the fries, for $4 and you get basically a handful of heated Ore-Ida style crinkle fries. Worth it if you're hungry, but not if you're looking for a great burger and fries. read more

Great place!!! Best bbq best bar staff! Patio outside with games on display on two screens. Also at bar and in dining area

Food was great and so was the service! Family had a great time and also kids got to play on the playground.

The food wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. I kinda only stopped her because I was so hungry and it was the closest thing to where I was driving. I got the burger which comes double pattied (way too much meat for me) but still a lot for a decent price. And there fries are crinkle cut and it's a lot of French fries. The burger wasn't seasoned very well and I tried covering the taste up with ketchup, onions, lettuce and cheese... didn't help much. I more than likely won't be back or recommend them but their service was really good and to each their own! read more

I used to really love this place. It's close to our house it's one of those, "Hey I don't wanna make dinner tonight let's just go grab some thing places". It was affordable, it was fast and it was a really good food. Now it's a sit down place you have to wait for the waitress. They're always out of food. And last night I waited 70 minutes... that's correct one hour and 10 minutes to get a hotdog. I had to go with hotdogs because the other two things I wanted they didn't have anymore. Going to cross this place off the list for now on it so they can get it together again. read more

Ordered burger through Uber eats. The burger had funky smell on had couple of bites and throw it. Then on the same day I had intense food poisoning symptoms eventually hospitalized and admitted to hospital for food borne disease treatment. After discharge called the backyard multiple times to talk with their manager. They hanged up the phone on me or they said they would they did not. read more

Normally I get great food from The Backyard. Bit today getting my purchase to go was a mistake. I got home a got a surprise of two orders of tots that were over done, crispy hard, dark and damn near burnt, just plain unsatisfactory . Not just slightly over done...but to the point where they should not have been packaged to a customer. But after driving home...no one is in the mood to drive back to return them even after paying good money for them. So now I just have a mental note to maybe not chose The Backyard first. Next time I'll try the other hand made burger joint instead. On a secondary note, my burger was delicious. read more

Amazing barbecue place so yummy and reasonably priced! The atmosphere is really cute! I will definitely be back here soon! read more

While the food is good it's certainly not 35-45 minute wait good. There's no excuse for that kind of delay. Most of the menu consists of smoked food. That isn't made to order. Third time we've been there. Third time the wait is extremely long. The first two times we dined there with others, thought maybe that was the issue (staff/servers) Tonight it was a "to go" order. 40 minutes for a sandwich and fries? Not good read more

UPDATE: they used to be SO, SO delicious. That is not really true anymore. The food is mediocre at best now. I feel cheated for what I was presented and what I paid for it. (2021). read more

I really enjoy this place. Perfect place for lunch on a beautiful day. I got The Zeus, which is grilled chicken, lettuce, olive, red onion, and a feta dressing. I guess I just described a Mediterranean sandwich, and Backyard does a tasty one. I recommend. Also ordered were The Pork and The Burger, both were devoured happily. If in Lakeview, this is a great spot for lunch. Note: Great place to take kids as they can run around on the playground. Also, good for groups. read more

UPDATE: They DO have complimentary wifi! Customers just have to ask for the password! VERY family friendly. They have a closed off and secure feeling playground for kids. There is outdoor seating and fans for the summer. They do not have complimentary wifi unfortunately. As far as food goes, the burgers are pretty good. But order the tater tots instead of french fries because they a thick crinkle cut and have been under cooked the last 2 times I ordered them so they were a bit soggy. I've eaten here several times and the tots are consistently crispy. Despite that, I would highly recommend this spot! read more

Delicious! The food is so good we didn't even take pictures. The tater tots and sweet potato fries were amazing!!! Would go back JUST for that! Great service. It was a cold Thursday night, but the food and service was just as good. We really enjoyed it and cannot wait to go back. read more

We were hesitant to return due to the playground being removed and our children not having a place to play but we did anyways the renovations are beautiful the food was definitely better then before but most importantly the service was phenomenal Ariel made our visit a amazing experience she was polite attentive and made us all feel like family despite the playground being removed everything was perfect we will be returning very soon. read more

If you were planning to go to a kid-friendly restaurant find somewhere else... We made plans to meet at The Backyard with friends last week. When we arrived, my son pointed out that the playground disappeared. That is the only reason we would come to this place. It certainly wasn't for the overpriced, ok-ish food. A "kids meal" will cost you $10-12, include a hotdog or a few nuggets, only a few fries, some shavings of melon in a tiny cup, AND the juice box is never actually included with the meal. I started bringing my own for the kids because after multiple times it became predictable. However, we were willing to pay a little extra so the kids could play while the adults hung out a bit. Every parent there that night was stunned and said they would not be returning. The reason I was given for the playground disappearing is that they intend to have distillery operations in the fall. I'm not sure what kind of business pivot this is, but whenever I've gone in the evening all I see is families with kids there to play. I'm not interested in overpriced, mediocre-at-best food where, after reading other reviews, kids don't even seem to be welcome anymore... oh, and maybe an overpriced craft cocktail now. Seems really odd. We will just be picnicking at the playground down the street with friends instead of coming here from now on. read more

We were looking for a place to gather with moms and kids and started here. Great inside and outside spaces, good food option for kids and adults, and nice beverage options. Such a great idea and it was hoping, filled in a Friday at 6pm with parents and young kids. This place could be cool sans children after dark. read more

Backyard never fails to please. It's my go to spot for a flat grilled chicken sandwich with tots and an icy brew. I like to hit it up when the boys are away like tonight. Tonight my server (Daniel I think) hooked me up with a mix of cane brake and some new fruity tart beer I've been wanting to try called SIPS. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but glad he suggested half and half for a tasty compliment to my awesome grilled chicken. I like dining inside at the bar on hot nights like tonight, plus I get to watch all the kitchen popping. If you've never been it's a cool little joint and great for the kids too. read more

great food; excellent service and sitting outside on a cool Friday night with a pint was super relaxing.

This place is great for kids! When the weather is good, the kids can play on the very nice and well built playground equipment, and my wife and I can eat in peace! The food is really good too... the pimento cheese and smoked salmon dips were very good, and the smoked chicken wings were fantastic... very unique flavor, which of course is hard to do with something as typical as chicken wings. BOTTOM LINE: We'll be back... a lot! read more

Food was a disaster...no flavor brisket , boom burger was chewy and salty , the cheese fries had about 10 pieces of fries with a sliced melt cheese read more

Interesting place; it has an outdoor play area. Obviously, they have a kids menu and booster seats. There is adequate parking in their lot or on the street most of the time. It is an eatery where you order your food and they bring it to your table. There is outside seating and a inside bar area if your nutritional needs are solely liquid. It is bright and airy. Interestingly, they accommodate Uber food delivery as well as regular take out. The menu centers around comfort foods and typical libations: mixed drinks, wine, and beers. There are also happy hour specials and combos. Sandwiches are large as are the sides such as fries. I had the hot (spicy) sausage sandwich served on a bun and it can come with your choice of toppings. Full dressed guy here. My wife did the smoked pork (prepared in house). We both went for the fries and they were great. Crispy and shades of golden brown deliciousness. The hot sausage is two bun sized patties each about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Nicely spiced and tender. Not too hot but enough you know this is not a Jimmy Dean breakfast croissant. Likewise, the smoked pork (pulled) is about 8 ounces of smoked goodness topped with their own Cole slaw. The ordering and food delivery people are very warm and friendly. The prep time was reasonable for a Saturday lunch and it arrived at the table hot. This was our first time here even though we live only about a mile away. No doubt we will be back. UPDATE Stopped by this afternoon and sat on the porch with our dog. Yay, porch is pet friendly. Killing time with a wine and a Parrish Ghost In The Machine draft. Thinking a snack might be appropriate. On special is a double Hatch chile cheese burger. Love the peppers native to the Hatch, NM region. Excellent flavor without the overwhelming heat. Just right. Good freaking grief, way large burger and incredibly good tasting. And the crinkle cut fries were near perfection. Firm, crisp and just the right amount of salt. Added an order of muffuletta deviled eggs. I am not a fan of anything muffuletta. Nope. But these egg were very good. Fully of soft, whipped egg yolk, muffuletta flavor and topped with bacon. I am a new convert. Hurry though. The Hatch season here is short lived. read more

Alway the food is very good, any burger is different and special. and the services very nice,
