    Banana cream pie
    Josiah H.

    My girlfriend and I had a little range time together on a Sunday, and when heading back to Sacramento we decided to stop into The Backyard. For a late lunch/early dinner. We arrived a little after 4 and waited a few minutes at the door and then were seated at a table in the main area. After getting our menus we looked over everything and started with drinks, and then eventually ordered our main meals and ordered the following: Drinks: Fall Off the Porch Peach Tea Spicy Pina Paloma Meals: BBQ Duo Chicken Tenders Dessert: (Weekly special) Banana Cream Pie I ordered the Fall Off the Porch Peach Tea which was good, my girlfriend ordered the Spicy Paloma which she said wasn't bad, but she noted it wasn't that spicy. When I took a sip I didn't notice it at all. Our dishes were really good, I had the BBQ Duo Andy girl had tje chicken tenders. I paired the tri tip and pulled pork. The beans were really good too and the waffle cut fries were fresh, hot and crisp. The dessert we were disappointed with. It was ok but it didn't taste like it was made from scratch. And tasted more like imitation banana, or banana flavoring and not from real bananas. So we could've gone without it. Overall: Nice spot and would definitely check it out again in the future when in the area.

    Getting a kiss for the grey dinner suggestion!!

    We stopped in for burgers and were treated wonderfully. This place somehow manages to balance a busy, success business with spot-on service and good food. My suggestion is the Mac and Cheese - I was able to get a small taste before ordering!!! Who DOES that anymore???

    Great bbq and great service. Was a great place to stop along the way home. I ordered the loaded baked potato with tri tip. The meat had a delicious Smokey flavor.

    We literally seated on super dirty table and when the waiter came to bring the utensils we told him the table is dirty he was responding in very rude way I can do this ! Whatttttttt you need to apologize on seating us on this dirty table has water all over and food left over ! Unfortunately no matter how the food good customer service is indeed!!!! Not only the table was disgusting dirty and they see us on it. The floor was super dirty pieces of food and fries and meat was on the floor seriously!!!!! What's the employee do?

    VIBE: I love this place. One of a kind, truly, in that it is a family owned brewery AND plant…read moreshop-YEP! You can chug a beer, eat pizza AND head home with a beautiful new plant all in one night, all from one place =) The ambiance gives off a botanical, airy and casual (but very comfortable) feel. STAFF: The staff is INCREDIBLE. Solid, extremely kind and VERY hardworking. All staff members share in the cashier, food-making, clean up and food running. So YES, be sure to tip when you order. The Rose family are the kindest people and what they have created is something that should really be celebrated by all EDH locals and beyond. EVENTS: Tuesdays are Trivia Nights (Hannah is amazing!), Wednesdays are Bingo, and live music on Saturdays. Throughout the year they also host Oktoberfest, St. Patty's Day...etc. Dog Friendly: You can eat on the patio with your dog! Kid Friendly: They have crayons, and coloring sheets for kiddos along with cards and various other table games. (For adults too!) FOOD/BEVS: All beer offered is Boring Rose beer and it's really good! Additionally they offer house made seltzers, carry local ciders, and wines. They make fresh and delicious Pizzas, wraps, salads, etc. and the pretzel with beer cheese is a MUST. This brewery is one of the most approachable, friendly, fun and delicious spots in the Town Center. It's a modern day Cheers, where the staff literally knows your name =) Shout out to Phil, he's pretty AMAZING

The drive from West Sac was well worth it and look forward to coming back! Also, the TV screens and the video of the farm and production of the beer in conjunction to the plants was RAD! Well done!

    Worst establishment I've ever been in. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I never been to a place…read morethat was so blatantly discriminatory. I came to visit my friends and we went to a brewery to catch up. My friend just bought a house and was moving, as well as having her birthday, so her ID was expired which we were not aware of. It happens. My friend was going to log into DMV just so she can show a valid ID the bartender but another woman working came up exclaiming they can not accept that and she will not get a drink. My friend did not argue about it and my other friend and I got our beers and sat down. We just wanted to spend time and catch up. My friend with the expired ID did not even take a sip of any drinks and respected the policy, the woman that we talked to earlier about the ids then proceeded to come up to us and say that we were sharing drinks, yelling and being very hostile. We were all confused because in no way, my friend even touched or drank any of the drinks. She insisted to call the cops. We then asked her if she had any evidence such as video footage and she said she did not have any access to that and she did not have footage. She said we were breaking the law and she will get the police involved for underage drinking. She was being extremely hostile. THANK YOU BY THE WAY SHE IS IN HER 30s BUT BESIDE THE POINT THEY REFUSED TO PULL UP THE FOOTAGE AND CORNERED US WHEN WE WERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We even encouraged to call the police then she started back tracking. Their lead came in. We again, asked for the footage and he then, unrelated, said they are on the verge of closing rather than taking any form of accountability or apologizing for how his colleague was treating us. We asked for a refund and would leave, we were so uncomfortable. He then proceeded to say we did not pay for the drinks and I had to pull up my credit card statement to even prove it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I got our drinks and paid/ closed the tab before even sitting down. We asked to talk to a manager again. Mind you, we asked previously, and got the lead. The manager just asked if we were from the Bay and shook our hands instead of actually doing anything about the situation. I saw her hug the woman that was accusing after we were leaving which is absolutely ridiculous. Why would you encourage that type of behavior to your staff. Profiling in 2025 is insane. I feel bad for my friends. I feel extremely uncomfortable. Discriminating and accusing just because we are the only POCs in the room is so embarrassing. DO BETTER- NOT EVEN AS AN ESTABLISHMENT BUT JUST AS HUMAN BEINGS.

    Headline: Another great brewery in Rancho Cordova!…read more Location: Located off sunrise blvd, is this unassuming brewery. I say that because when I entered I thought I was coming into a small little brewery but was suprised to find a pretty big place. Not only does it have the a bunch of seating areas to the side but they have a large open space in the back. Of course it was a cloudly day so we opted to stay inside. This place has a nice vibe with different seating areas and smaller areas if you want to stay away from the crowd. They also have some single seats and an area with a bunch of different games. Really suprised at how big this place is. Service: The beertender was very helpful letting us try out different drinks and providing some information on what we might lake based on taste. We didn't get too much interaction after we served our drinks but it was a good interaction and means we were able to get our drinks real quick. Drinks: I ended up getting the coffee stout made from Kingdom Coffee Roaster beans and was suprised about how light it was. I couldn't resist once I actually tasted it. While not a dark rich stout it still had a creamy light finish and honestly was something that I would order again. Defintely a place worth checking out if breweries are your thing!

The chicken and bacon were perfectly cooked and the salad was fresh. My sandwich was hands down one of the best tri tip sandwiches that I have had. The ciabatta bread was perfectly toasted, there was a killer pesto sauce and a cheese on there that tied this together in the best way.
