So many options to choose from and the food was THE BEST EVER. Our server was so funny and friendly we loved her. Super fun vibe.

Great spot to watch the World Cup games and enjoy a drink. Our server was friendly and attentive.

Ambiance: it's what you would expect inside. A bunch of high top tables, TVs, and what you expect in a public house. It's clean, open, and has cute decor. Service: SO slow. When she was there, she was super sweet, the problem was she just wasn't ever there. Food, drinks, checks, it all took forever. Food: the food was all really good. My sister got the Cuban and sweet potatoes and they were both so delicious. I got the jalapeño popper burger and it was also pretty good. The wings were great, fried but not breaded which I loved, and my mother in law liked the tacos! I'd give them another shot and go back for the food! read more

Overall not a bad place. Good beer and food. Had the clubhouse sandwich which was good. Server could have been a little more friendly. It wasn't crowded, but was filling up for bingo before we left. I'd go back again. read more

Great little spot. I really liked the crisp on the tofu on the street noodles, I wish the sauce was a little thinner. The pickle fries where thin which I really enjoyed. Normal good service. Chill and nice. read more

Cool interior, but service was INCREDIBLY SLOW. Noon on a Saturday and only a handful of people inside and we waited 35 min for fried pickles and two sandwiches. Fried pickles were good, and Jailbird Phillies were tasty. There were several employees walking around and only one female serving. read more

My 79y/o dad and I went here on Sunday to enjoy a burger on the patio. We were greeted when we walked in and told to sit wherever we wanted. It was a beautiful sunny day. We patiently waited for 25 min and then left because no one came to take our order or offer us drinks; not even water. There were 2 servers and neither one came over to us. They delivered drinks and food to the tables around us but nothing to us. I made eye contact with the girl server several times thinking she would come over but she never did. I was debating going inside to say something but after 25min I felt the whole experience was tainted. It might not have been so bad if we at least had drinks but to sit at a table and be ignored was a bit much. I've been here before and feel the staff is 1/2 good 1/2 bad. This was my 2nd time here having crap service. Not sure it's worth going back... read more

Open for kids until 8 but we walked in at 5 on a Sunday and the inappropriate language was being loudly spoken and encouraged by employees. They looked annoyed that a family was there and had no kid menus. Just felt out of place. We did love the games available and outdoor space. Food was also great! read more

Great experience at backyard today! Excellent fresh sheet with great new options. Staff was friendly and personable! Waitress/bartender Ashley was especially accommodating with allergy restrictions. Waitress Corrina was beyond courteous and went above and beyond. read more

Adam was very kind and made our experience delightful! The food was excellent, and Tables were clean.

Very good late night visit to The Backyard Public House on our last evening in Spokane. We were looking for somewhere within walking of the arena after the NCAA Women's BB Tourney. It was a perfect stop. They were dealing with some food shortages as they changed food distributors and some items were not available. No issue. Everyone adjusted and it was excellent. Our daughter had what was advertised as Spokane's Best Nachos...and they likely were...wow. The pork was plentiful and she loved it. My wife had the Caprese Sandwich with Arugula and it was perfect. I had the Broadway Club and it was also quite tasty. Arielle was so nice and explained quite well what items were not available. She was friendly and very engaging. Thank You Backyard as you were exactly what we were looking for. read more

I had the best bartender I had to take a picture because I thought she was so cute. I came and got a quesadilla which was delicious, but I ended up staying an extra hour to chat with this lovely lady. I honestly had a crappy day but she made it 10 times better. I will definitely be back, I had phenomenal service and the vibe was great. read more

We got off of a late flight and we have my 3 year old with us, this place was one of the only places open so we went, we walk in nice gentlemen was about to seat us, some girl passed us and said we need to go because we have a 3 year old no kids after 8, they need to display something on yelp or google that kids aren't welcome after 8. Just a frustrated dad ranting. read more

You can go a lot of places to get a $15 burger, so when you go to a sit down restaurant you hope that at least the service makes the price worth it. That was not our experience at Backyard Public House. We got our waters for the table quickly, our initial drink order taken in a decent time. Drinks came a bit late, order for food taken a bit longer, and food was very slow, and our party didn't eat at the same time. The waiter never came back to fill drinks and didn't check back at all. We finished our food and sat for quite a while. We observed out waiter eye our table, but did not come by to check on us or bring a tab. When we did get our check, enough time had passed that we had stopped talking amongst ourselves and were aware of the passing time. Our visit was in the 90 minute time frame. The food was good, but no better or memorable than any other burger pub. Due to service and other factors like parking and location, I probably won't go out of my way to return. read more

5 stars from me! I visited The Backyard for Spokane's restaurant week with a close friend this week and we were so impressed. I highly recommend the crispy brussel sprouts and any burger on the menu. I got the mushroom bacon burger that came with the restaurant week bundle and my friend ordered the shiner burger. Our food came out in proper time with excellent portions for our both! The male bartender with long hair helped me select a few different beer options which I really appreciate because I often don't know what to order. The Backyard offers a warm and comfortable atmosphere with fun and friendly service. I don't go out often but this is a spot I will definitely come back to because of how welcome I felt at the bar. Thank you all again! read more

It was great place to go hangout with some deaf club n have great drinks n foods there

We used to LOVE Backyard! We came in a few months ago and had a pretty bad experience so we stopped going since they were going through a menu change and so on. We figured we'd give them time to figure it out. Today, we thought would be a great time to try it again and hopefully have improved service. We decided to go out for my friend's birthday. We came in around 4:30pm and only one other table was sat. There were 8 of us to start, later turning to 6. The service was slow at first but we were just ordering drinks so it was okay. After our first round though, the server didn't come back until one of us had to go to the bar and tell them we wanted to order food and more drinks. It took another 15-20 minutes for anyone to come get our food orders. Two orders were delivered right away. 15 minutes later, two more orders were delivered to the table. I waited another 20 minutes while my husband and everyone else finished their meals, a server never returned the entire time everyone ate. Eventually, one person went to the bar to close out his tab and it took 30 minutes to do so. While he waited, I also eventually went to the bar to complain that I never received my food and our entire table wanted to order more food and drinks and had been waiting at least 20 minutes. One girl apologized and said after these cocktails were made, she'd be right over. The other two girls weren't making drinks and were just doing dishes. After another 15 minutes, still no one came to get orders. We finally had enough!! I went back to the bar and told them never mind on my food. Then, we ALL had to get up and go to the bar to close out, because again, no one came to our table. Since we were initially a party over 6, they already included a tip which may be why they never gave us any service, they already knew they'd be getting a tip. I am beyond disappointed, I am mad, and I don't think I will ever return to Backyard (one of my all-time favorite places). I cannot believe this service, especially when they knew it was someone's birthday. I cannot believe they thought they deserved a tip at all! I ended up leaving and getting Jack in the Box instead! Total letdown! I don't think Backyard will ever be like it used to. Don't waste your money or your time! Update: I was just informed that after I left, they tried to charge the birthday girl for MY drinks that I already paid for. And I purchased one of her drinks too! I was told that they were also very rude to said birthday girl! I cannot believe this! read more

Came here (again) on a Tuesday night for trivia. Tonight they had a Lucky Charm drink and it was tasty. Service is typically very slow because of trivia so come prepared to be here a while. They also stopped serving food because they were backed up and didn't have enough people on the kitchen. This night was saved because our waitress comped everything for the wait and no food - so my drinks were free which was amazing. Happy customer here. read more

Excellent place for food and beer!! Bar tender was fabulous...only 4 days into her work! Great Backyard Burger! Side salad was good... nice size. Avocado cream dressing very nice. Husband had same but homemade soup that was excellent! Beer was good too. Very casual, laid back vibe. Outdoor seating available but we are at the bar. Several TV options for games to watch. read more

Very poor experience today. Service was subpar, most of the staff stood around talking and not checking on anyone. We saw several tables who sat without drinks or being check on for quite awhile. Another couple came in and we finished our food before they were even acknowledged. Not to mention half the staff had no clothes on. You could literally see our servers nipples through her shirt. Very disappointed with the new management. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOOD The street noodles are a MUST HAVE! however, I will say if you want to try this place out do not go in a Saturday afternoon. These days their service is SLOTH SLOWWWW. I'm sure it's because hiring and job availability is hard these days so I give grace but for you impatient people. Definitely opt for a different time. Maybe evening for a romantic ambiance :) read more

Here's another laid back date night spot or just a great place to take friends for AMAZING burgers (easily the best I've had in Spokane) and the fries are to die for. It is a bar so no one under 21, sry butttt it would be a perfect place for a 21st birthday location! Plenty of seating inside and out. The backyard and outdoor dining area feels just like home. Bingo every Thursday night! Service is a bit slow that's why I give it 4 stars. read more

the staff was extremely rude and we were charged for a side that was supposed to come with the entree. When my friend mentioned it to the server, the server said she would come back when my friend was ready to speak to her in a calm manner. Neither one of us were upset at that point so we were perplexed. Then the server went and spoke with someone else about it and we got up and went to talk to that person too and when we showed them on the menu where it says that entrees come with a side unless otherwise noted, he said he could see how that could be confusing. It took us an hour to get so.eone to take our order. They said they needed to close the kitchen to change between brunch menu and the lunch/dinner menu. We waited an hour and finally asked a server if we could order and she took our order. The whole experience was horrible and I will never recommend this place to anyone. I will actually discourage people to go there. The food was average. I was told the noodles were spicey, but they were bland. Onion rings were cold. The patio was nice. read more

I had such an awesome night at bingo! I came by myself and was met with the best customer service I have received. Ty was an awesome bartender and anticipated what I needed before I even asked.

I didn't try the beers but the service was friendly and they were able to divvy up the bill. Food came out quick. Nachos were good; burger was decent. Fries were good as well. read more

One of the best teams in the service industry! Authenticit people, chill vibe great food. Our go to spot when we just want to hang out, listen to music and eat something delicious! read more

An extremely average experience. Based on what I'd heard, I was expecting much better. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing bad, just not great. Service was friendly and fairly attentive but as with most bars, if you're not a drinker, you pretty much get ignored. Food, too was okay but not exceptional. Undersized and over priced. Two meals (burgers) and one app with no alcohol was $60. As for the burgers themselves, you could almost taste the freezer in them. Best part of the night was the Courthouse Pretzels. While they were not overly pretzel-y, they were delicious and the beer cheese was like crack. I'd eat that on an old flip flop. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. EDIT: YIKES! My wife just told me it cost $2.50 to substitute her fries for a salad!! $2.50 extra?!?! For an average bagged salad (mixed greens) that had the same food cost as the fries?!? I just took away a star! read more

The service was extremely slow, the manager Tyler was very rude, there was no one in there but our group of 5, the drinks were horrible and they the waitress and manager took no responsibility for the lack of service and the poor drinks!! Will never recommend to anyone but it's sad because before this tine I loved the place, and had been there many many times!! read more

Food was delicious, fried pickles were great and the Mac and cheese bites too! I had the jailbird cheesesteak with sweet potato fries and it was fantastic. Garlic fries were a star and all good things from the table. Corrina was our server and she was fantastic! Very kind and funny, efficient with getting things out. Great atmosphere, casual and fun while still classy. Great spot for dinner and drinks! read more

During these odd times it's good to come across some good food that is to go. That's exactly what we found with Backyard. We discovered their take and bake enchiladas and absolutely loved them. They were just spicy enough and generously filled. These also came with chips and salsa. The chips were also remarkably good with the seasoning they use. The salsa was good on both the chips and enchiladas. When I picked the order up the staff was super nice and quick about bringing the order out. Overall excellent experience during these weird times. read more

HORRIBLE service. Went for a friends birthday and after we ordered drinks the server never came back. Another server finally came to our table and we ordered food and the food came at different times. My wife never even got her sandwich. Burger was a frozen patty. Never going back. read more

Wonderful food (weekend brunch is top tier), great servers and good vibes. I love this place!

Couldn't get a table, many open tables, my guess is not enough wait staff. Asked us to wait 20-25 minutes & then couldn't get a drink while we waited?! I've never been any place where you couldn't have a drink while you wait. Why would you not offer a drink while you waited, more money in your pocket??!! read more

The backyard public house is a great place for lunch or dinner or just drinks! The bar is very spacious and the patio is great in the summer! Their specials are awesome! Monday burger night is one of my favorites! I highly recommended this for your dining experiences! The staff are all kind and friendly and it feels like going to a neighbor or friends house as we are treated in such a genuine manner! I highly suggest dining at the backyard when you want a casual and delicious meal! read more
