We visited the backyard on a Friday evening for dinner, and we had a blast! The atmosphere here is awesome, feels a lot like what à la carte is going for, but way better executed. There's enough seating area for everyone, and there was a little dance floor going when we were there since it was Latin night. You start by downloading an app which will be used for all food and drink. They've got a small selection of beers on tap here, and it's pour your own. I actually loved the variety they had, there's something for everyone. I had a hard time choosing which food truck to order from, I ended up getting a brisket sandwich which was really good, except I think it had mayo on it (not advertised on the menu). Other people in my group got food from a variety of places, and we were all really happy with it. I will definitely be visiting this place again. It's got a really fun vibe, and I'm excited to try more of the food trucks! read more

I love that the backyard is in my literal backyard and I get to come to this amazing spot regularly. This review is just for a lo Cubano. I did a mobile app carryout order and it's super easy to get everything processed and figured out. I ordered the chicken rice bowl and added Yucca fries to it. I do wish they gave you a lot more sauce because the entrée itself is a little bit dry. But that's why I get it to go and sauce it up at my house on my own. The meal is super fresh and very, very tasty. The owner of the truck is super friendly and you can tell the food is made with love. The backyard is a vibe and it's an awesome place for pretty much any occasion. Although I didn't eat there this time I've eaten there many times and it's a 10 out of 10. Dig in! read more

We rolled into this location around 2 PM on a Wednesday afternoon. We were the only ones there and were greeted by a receptionist of sort who walked us through the process. Basically you check in and they get you set up at the front so you can just order directly through your phone and everything goes to one tab versus being separate tabs. It's also how you get your QR code to get drinks from the menu. There are seven food trucks available and they all have a different offering from sushi to pizza to hamburgers to Cuban inspired and tacos. We started with the spicy peanuts from the barbecue food truck. Definitely have a lot of spice with them and we love that they serve them to you in a plastic container so you could take them home if you didn't finish them. Unfortunately, they did taste a little old and we did not end up bringing them home with us. We got the fried cheese balls from smash dunk and they were delicious. Nice and crispy and full of mozzarella cheese on the inside. My husband got the half side or Personal pan, Nu York pizza - he said it was delicious. The crust was super light and the char on the pepperoni was perfect. I got the six wings in the cilantro garlic Parm sauce and they were cooked perfectly! I want to try more from À la Cubano! The beer selection was decent. They have a good selection of multiple different types of beers had a couple of cider selections and they also have wine available. Overall, this location has a lot of open space and tons of places to sit. It also has a ping-pong table, a volleyball or badminton net and just open area to run around and relax. It does bud up to a running/walking trail so you can also access the location that way as well. We look forward to going back. read more

This place is a lot of fun on a nice day. The atmosphere is great, the people working there were nice and helpful, and the food was great as well. The only issue is all of the seating is outdoors, so if it's not a nice day out, it may not be fun. They do have shaded areas thoMy only complaint is the food prices are high for the amount you get. read more

The Backyard is a good place for fun, games and food. There are board games and yard games. There a multiple food trucks - we tried pizza, sushi and the plantains which were all great. We found the ordering system a little confusing. It reminded me of ordering food on the private island of a cruise ship. It has real bathrooms as well which is a plus. read more

The Backyard is such a fun and unique concept--it genuinely feels like you walked into a friend's backyard that just happens to have food trucks and a self-serve beer wall. The vibe is casual, cute, and perfect for hanging out for a few hours. My husband and I came on a Saturday around 12:30pm. When we arrived, the staff at the entrance took our credit card to start a tab and showed us how to scan the QR code to use the self-serve beer taps. The beer selection is somewhat limited, but there's still plenty of variety to enjoy over the course of a visit. One of the best parts is the food truck lineup. They had five options when we were there: pizza, sushi, BBQ, Cuban food, and smash burgers--honestly something for everyone. I ordered a sushi burrito from Taito Sushi Bar, and it was incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and very filling. My husband went with the picanha steak sandwich from the smash burger food truck, and it did not disappoint. We also shared a couple of beef empanadas from the Cuban food truck, which were delicious as well. Everything we tried was phenomenal, and the relaxed atmosphere made the experience even better. This is such a great spot to grab food, enjoy a few beers, and hang out without feeling rushed. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

Such a fun family spot in Ocoee!! I love the food options and the friendly environment. We even had fun playing some of the board games they have! read more

I'm honestly sad it took me this long to make it here, this place is a true gem! The outdoor setup is awesome, with live music, tons of seating, and a great mix of food trucks and beer taps. We sampled several of the food trucks and were impressed across the board. The pizza had a wonderfully doughy crust, the Cuban empanadas were generously filled with ground beef in perfectly fried dough, the BBQ sausage brisket was flavorful, and the sushi rolls were massive. The beer-on-tap experience was such a highlight. You pay by the ounce and can choose from at least 12 different beer and cider options. The staff was friendly and attentive, stopping by multiple times to clear empty glasses and check in. Between the atmosphere, the food variety, and the great service, this will definitely become a regular outing spot for us. read more

I had NO idea about this place, but stumbled across it as I was riding my bike on West Orange Trail! I absolutely loved it. Everyone was so nice and accommodating, and the spot was aesthetically impressive. I liked that it was not crowded at all on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the rice bowl with mojo pork from A Lo Cubano Kitchen and the flavor was delicious. I found it super filling. All of the menus looked really good and I'd like to try something from TBG next time. I ordered a Two Chicks seltzer and I loved it. It was vodka with peach, cucumber tea, and thyme. It was the perfect taste and gave me a nice little buzz. There's a bike rack, a bunch of seating, covered and uncovered areas, as well as games that make the place super family friendly. I will definitely be back!! read more

Checked out The Backyard in Ocoee after seeing a social media video about it. It looked really chill, and even though it's a bit of a drive for me. My wife and I went for a Friday lunch. Hardly anyone was there at that time, which was perfect for seeing the place without big crowds. The atmosphere is super nice. It is definitely a cool, relaxed spot. Honestly wish there was something like this on the east side of Orlando. They've got good beer options and use the "pay for what you pour" setup. Not sure how that plays out when the place is packed, but for the time of day we went, it worked great. For food, the sushi spot was good, and the Cuban food truck had a bomb Cuban sandwich. Overall, really chill place with good drinks and solid food options. Worth the drive to check out. read more

Fantastic spot for lunch or dinner or just socializing and drinks. Their system for ordering and paying is you order drink and eat whatever you want and it's on a tab and you pay at the end before you leave. The place is always cleaned. People are always friendly and the food is always good regardless of each food truck to dry. You can stop in for lunch or dinner. And relax with friends and catch up. read more

Had to check this place out after seeing it on social media. Awesome place to hang out on the weekends if looking for a laid-back spot with good food and chill vibes. And the fact that they use a QR code pay as you go system is fantastic because it allows you to order food and drinks and close out your tab whenever you're ready. The drinks come in an assortment of beers and wines all self serve and connected to the app. The food trucks range from sushi to burgers to barbecue. I had the chance to get a chicken wrap from the chicken food truck and it was amazing. The sitting area includes a covered patio and an outdoor component complete with fire pit if you so desire. The staff are incredibly friendly and ready to help you enjoy your experience. Oh, and did I mention the board games?? Absolute chill mode. Can't wait to go back. Overall 9/10! read more

Our new favorite place!! The owners are so nice and the service is attentive and the ambiance is where you want to be on a nice day. Family friendly and a lot of space for kids to play. They have live music on the weekends, we've spent the whole day there without noticing. Very relaxed environment. The food some of the best: the pizza food truck is what led us here. The sushi place has some of the best and creative sushis we've tried. The Cuban food truck has the best wings. read more

Stopped in quite randomly in 4th of July. We are buying a house in the area and don't know anyone. We were in town to check on the house and as it was a last minute trip in a holiday we could not get pet care so we had our pups with us. Everyone was so nice. Could not have been friendlier to us or our admittedly not so well behaved dogs. From staff to guests. We're from Atlanta and have a lot of similar concepts to this, just on a larger scale so the warm welcome was born surprising and really encouraging. The have an easy pay system-in person or on your phone via QR code. You buy drinks by the Oz (tons of options from beer, wine & cider) and what seems to be permanent food trucks. Lot of variety with some less than basic options (Cuban and sushi along with bbq, burgers & pizza) Looking forward to making this our new go to easy neighborhood spot. read more

Let's go to the backyard ! The new cool spot in Ocoee , Florida. This place is AMAZING ya'll. The backyard concept is like a summer night with family enjoying food, music and beverages all while sitting in lawn chairs, rocking chairs, hammocks and picnic tables. It's cashless so ensure you have a debit or credit card and use will scan a barcode when you enter and every time you come back you only have to scan for the id to drink alcohol! We came back to back as the first night, only 2/5 food trucks had food left to order ( yup, it's good !) Food trucks : Pizza - good selection of pizza with a twist, give it a bite ! Taito sushi : a Caribbean infusion of sushi and the most popular on both nights Smash burgers: delicious variety of smash burgers with fries Cluckerz chicken - 5 stars ! A must try TBG BBQ ( my least favorite , food was bland and meat dry, 1 star for us ) Parking is free and well lit, so grab your family & friends or come for a date night like we did and go check it out.

The Backyard - Outside - Food Trucks Near Me - Ocoee, Florida

I'd been anxiously awaiting the opening of The Backyard in Ocoee. It officially opened this past Wednesday. I stopped a few days later on Saturday, early evening. I love the concept. Since I'd stalked the website for weeks, I knew what I wanted to try. For my first time out I went to TBG and had a brisket melt. It was delicious. My friend had the All American burger from Smash Dunk. He was very pleased. The vibe was cool. There were families, couples, friends, children, dogs, you name it. It's a place for everyone. The music playlist was very diverse with several genres represented. There were board games and yard games available. The bathrooms were clean and air conditioned. They offer free water. All other food and beverages are available for purchase. The staff was very friendly. Finding seating and shade can be a problem when the crowd gets thick. It's a good idea to bring lawn chairs. The parking lot is also very small. Currently, people are using the vacant adjacent lot as overflow parking. However, I don't know if that's approved since they are n "No Trespassing" signs in that lot. The grassy area of the yard is a little thin. So dust is a factor. Don't wear your best shoes. I'll definitely be going back. It's a must try. read more

So excited for this place to open up in Ocoee. We have been there twice this week to try different food items. It was not too busy on Thursday evening and able to find a place to sit and relax to share a pizza and try a few items on tap. When we went on Friday it was much busier and we should have brought some folding chairs or something to sit on since many spaces were taken already. Super family friendly with games for families to play and open spaces for kids to run around a bit. Even saw some furry family members enjoying the outdoors. We had a pizza from Pizza Culture. It was flavorful, but I prefer more crisp/cooking on my pizza and the dough felt too soft for my preference. We tried the steak bowl, cuban, and yucca fries from A Lo Cubano. The cuban and yucca fries were amazing and prepared very well. My husband would have preferred a different cook on the steak so next time we think we will pop up to the window when we order to see if they can accommodate. They were super friendly when we picked up so we don't think it will be an issue and we didn't ask this time. Also did the California roll from Taito and it was really good as well. We still have a few more places to try here and can't wait to enjoy this location over and over again with the different beers/wines on tap. We love the concept that you can just get a little or a full glass and try lots of different items. The owners and staff are there to help accommodate and answer questions since everything is done via the app for food and drink orders. read more

Wow what a place! I keep hearing people talk about this, but just thought it looked cheesy or basic. Instead we walked in and the host explained how the ordering worked. We found a seat with a table since we were getting food, but so many choices to sit at. There are seats in a gazebo, near a fire pit, around hammocks, and so many options. Food wise they come from food trucks. You order on your phone then they let you know when it is ready. From the burger place we had the cheese burger. It is covered in cheese and is a sure fork and knife burger. The patty had a great flavor. It is a perfect smash burger. From the BBQ we had okra and fried green tomatoes. These were perfectly seasoned. As for beer there is a pour system where you scan your QR code on the phone and then are charged by the ounce. This was great as I was able to get a couple half beers so got to try a few different items. I can't wait to go back and just chill and enjoy the great FL weather. read more

I stopped here after work one night and really enjoyed it! I think I ordered a steak bowl from Los Cubanos and it was seasoned to perfection. Wayyy better than Chipotle. Also, my first time with the self pour on drinks and the staff was very helpful! (don't mind me eating in bed it was a long day) read more

I live less than a mile away and have been meaning to check this spot out for a while. Parking is plentiful and easy. I love the vibe that they're going for with the family style "backyard" ambiance. It is achieved well. The idea of the self pour is easy to understand and convenient. There are 6 different food trucks, each with lunch specials until 3. Lots of options to choose from. Everything is done via your phone but there are QR codes everywhere that make it easy to order from anywhere. I'm sure if you needed to pay via card and not online there is a way they could do it at the front main terminal. Katie was up front and explained how everything works. I would've loved to sit outside but it is just too hot right now so I took my food to go. When it starts cooling down this spot is going to be jam packed for sure. read more

What a great concept! The ping pong, badminton, and corn hole kept the little ones occupied while we met for a large group outing. The hammocks are in great shape as well and they have a ton of seating and nice tree coverage. There are about 5 food trucks and you just start a tab and order away. The ordering system is simple and you don't have to wait in the sun in line to order or pick up your food. Also, the beer on tap is such a good idea but I wish they had coozies that fit the glasses for sale at the front desk. It was brutally hot outside and I had to practically chug my beer to ensure it was still cold while drinking it. All of the food options were chefs kiss and I'm regretting not getting the tostones with krab on top or the sushi burrito but don't worry I'll be back read more

Such a great spot! A large covered patio made this spot fun even on a rainy day. You order from the food trucks your mobile device and pour your own beer. They do have seltzers and additional soft drinks available behind the counter. The space is very large. Great for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. They are pet friendly (leashed). I would say there isn't a lot of seating, but there's a lot of yard! If you bring a picnic blanket you'd be fine to find a nice shady spot. I wish there was more beer selection, but the taps are in a limited space. However all the beers they did offer were super high quality and they had a variety of categories. I'd love to see more local beers on tap! read more

They finally opened up and her family is so happy that we have such a variety of delicious food trucks just literally in our backyard. There is pizza, Caribbean sushi fusion, smash burgers, Cuban, bbq, and chicken designated food trucks that will be stations there. There is only outdoor seating either under the rooftop or around the fire pit, play area, other hangout spots, including hammocks. The restrooms are clean that are gender neutral as well as two changing tables. The staff are friendly. Once you come in, you'll start a tab as if you were at a regular bar in order what you'd like and only pay at the end. That includes both the drinks, alcohol, alcoholic, or non-alcoholic, beer on tap, and food trucks. read more

24 hours later, I came back to The Backyard. Enjoyed the Dunkel beer & Scrimshaw beer. The sitting area is very nice. Makes you want to just sit there for hours listening to music and people watching. I tried the TBG barbecue and I wasn't impressed. Never had Brisket chopped like Pulled Pork and not moist. I had to go back to get BBQ sauce to eat it. The Rice & Baked Beans were cool. Regular toast. read more

Really neat concept. The pizza and smash burger were excellent. It's opening weekend so there are growing pains of course. It was crowded so finding a chair was challenging. Next time we will bring our own chair. It's a little chaotic when we got there and no real explanation on how it works. Sushi was closed due to a "special event" so that was a bummer and we must return to try it out. read more

Following along on social media, for what felt like forever, I was excited to finally visit the Backyard one they opened. Once through the gate and into the aptly named Backyard, we were greeted by the most friendly staff who explained how everything worked. To your right as you entered, you could order a few alcoholic canned beverages (they had all the Two Chicks flavors!) or several non alcoholic options from the front counter and just beyond that was a self pour wall measuring by the ounce. I love this idea because for a few bucks you could try everything and figure out what you wanted. Options included beer, cider, and wine and while I opted for a canned cocktail, my friend had a blast trying several different drinks from the wall. List at bottom of review We ordered Cheese Dough Corners from Pizza Culture to share and were thoroughly impressed. The Backyard is truly a backyard in every instance of the word. String lights, oodles of yard games and board games, a giant fire pit, lots of seating both in the sun and in the shade or under umbrellas and lots more f gorgeous trees and landscaping. A covered patio is also available with fans, tables, a couch setup, and a self serve water station. The bathrooms also were situated in this area and were super clean! Despite an afternoon rainstorm, the place stayed packed and lively and staff was there to help dry seats and guide those coming in. Also worth noting, this is ON the West Orange Trail so it's a great stop when you are on a ride! The Backyard had six food truck options as of the time we visited: -Pizza Culture -A Lo Cubano Kitchen -Cluckerz Chicken -Smash Dunk -TBG BBQ -Taito Sushi I will absolutely be back and bringing a larger group next time, we had a blast and loved the variety in drinks and trucks! We learned the trucks are in a 6 month lease, so we are excited to see what the future holds for the Backyards food options, even though we were delighted with the options they had! read more

There are 6 food trucks in the backyard - we tried the Smashbox for their all American burger and fries. The burger was delicious, fresh, and the aioli and chunky pickles was a nice tangy surprise. The fries tasted freshly cut. I would order this again. We also tried a protein platter from TBG - I loved the box it came in bc it made my meal neat to eat. Ordered the brisket sausage - overcooked and dry, the cucumber salad was a hit! - nice and tangy, and the squash casserole was very flavorful! I would order here again but will have the brisket meat instead. The service was fast and convenient. You get started with a QR code, order from your phone, and pay from your phone. It's a cool spot to chill, bring the family, and dog. There's lots of tables and chairs. Outdoor games for everyone to enjoy. Do wear a mosquito repellent! read more

Service is good here, friendly like you are welcome to be there. The kids had something to do, where we could see they. Bathrooms clean, and enough of them. Cold water by the glass outside water available without having to buy a bottle. Drinks are alittle on the expensive side, and it's a backyard in Florida! Bugs and heat are just part of it. There were plenty of shaded (I thought comfortable chairs) and seating under a covered roof. I had a good time but the outside atmosphere might not be for everyone. read more

I stopped by and was not disappointed. The Back Yard is definitely a family friendly place. You can even bring your fur baby! There were six food trucks to try. I decided to try TBG BBQ. The brisket sandwich was absolutely delicious--perfectly tender and bold flavors. The collard greens, fried okra, and Brussels sprouts were all solid sides--seasoned just right. I meant to take a picture of the mac and cheese... but it was so good I ate it before I had the chance! I'll definitely be back. It's nice to have a local bbq spot ! read more

The vibes were nice. The "tab" feature is nice where you just scan thru the app and purchase at the end. Enough shaded areas to sit while sun is out.

Amazing atmosphere! I loved the Two Black Guys Food Truck too. They have the best food and service!! I definitely will be back

We visited The Backyard with our family of six and some on opening weekend, and it was such a fun experience! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff who explain how everything works and help set up your tab. Ordering is super convenient--just use your phone to order from any of the food trucks, and you can pour your own beer or wine from their self-serve taps. I'm a big fan of sours, and they had three on tap--such a great selection of drinks overall. The venue is exactly what the name suggests: it feels like someone's backyard! There's a driveway lined with food trucks, a spacious back porch with board games, a backyard area with a fire pit, lawn games, and hammocks. Plus, it backs right up to the West Orange Bike Trail, which adds to the relaxed vibe. We tried food from A lo Cubano and Taito, and both were absolutely delicious. This place has definitely earned a spot in our regular weekend rotation! read more

Such a fun place to hang out! Wide open grassy area with corn hole boards and fire pits. Hostess at the front entrance check in kiosk was so kind to explain the process of how everything works for us.

FYI- if ordering the sliders, they come in sets of 2. Also, be certain to return to the front entrance check-in kiosk and have the hostess close your card out before you leave the restaurant , otherwise they will charge automatic gratuity to your tab. read more
