If you wanna watch a gas and have a beer come here , if you wanna bring the family and have a nice bbq style menu come here . The staff is always friendly and the place is family friendly I find the wings to be amazing , the beans are a bit spicy do me but to each their own. The food has always been satisfying It's a comfortable place to have a group gathering and there is plenty of seating . I've been back here numerous times and will be again and again. Try the chili dog sooooo good ! read more

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. read more

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??? read more

The service was fantastic. Our server was attentive and great at her job really knew the menu. The ambiance was very much a sports bar vibe and definitely cool. The owner was very friendly and really loves his customers. I had the brisket and thought it was only ok and the Mac and cheese was not delicious read more

The Backyard - BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich with string fries - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Murieta, California

Great friendly service. Was offered a drink while I waited for my to-go order. Portions are above standard, and the price was great ($21.00). I ordered the tri tip plate with two sides (tots and cole slaw). read more

I have been to this restaurant three times now. Every time I've had horrible service. They have ran out of food each time I have gone. How do you run out of bacon and tri-tip. Another time I ordered three take home meals. They completely forgot one of my entrees. Then they said they would comp an entree for their mistake. I go back 2 days later and the same bartender acted like he knew nothing about. This last time we went with three of our friends. It took the waiter 10 mins to come take our drink and appetizers. We ordered food even thought they were out of some of their barbecue food. And then they wouldn't even substitute for the missing food. For god sakes there is a grocery store right across the street. Our friend's dinners came out and still no appetizers. 30 mins later they brought out our three dinners and the appetizers. Now mind you we had to wait 30 mins for the table, 30 minutes for the waiter to take our order, and then 30 more mins to get our food, after our friend had finished eating. We weren't even hungry anymore. Avoid this restaurant, there are better barbecue places out there. read more

We've been going to the backyard for the last two years and were never really impressed with the quality of the food or with the level of service but they have really stepped their game up recently. I had the tri tip salad and it was phenomenal, tons of flavor and high quality ingredients. My husband had the nachos and they were totally loaded and delicious. Service was fast and great. We will definitely be coming back more often. read more

The burgers here are huge and delicious. Chicken tender plate is also amazing. Portions are super generous. Quality and taste is consistent and the servers are always so friendly. It's a very casual comfortable place perfect for lunch or to watch the game. read more

Quick take-out service. Food is delicious with decent portions. Steak salad is my favorite!

Good drinks. Nice crowd. Great staff. Very mediocre food, but I'm not sure you come here for the food. Reasonably priced. Seems to be the burger spot for locals & folks like us rolling thru town. read more

A Very Good Place to get Very Reasonable Priced Food. The Place is Clean and the Staff and Owner is very Friendly all the Time.

This is a great restaurant and bar. The menu is very interesting, and the burgers are great. It can get noisy on Thursday nights - but it's a happening place. Highly recommended! read more

Used to be great and worth the value. Stopped in on 6/28 and they had changed the menu. No more sliders but now a "mini" burger. Okay, thinking it's between the slider and the regular burger. It was not. Just 1 slider. Fries way over salty and, I like salt so for me to say that it was bad. Gave feedback of everything to a gentleman but not sure if it will do any good. Loved stopping in after wine tasting in Plymouth but will be thinking twice in the future. Too bad. read more

Great food and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Rancho Murieta

From regulars. While prices at the backyard were going up , portion sizes getting smaller. Eg. A dish of "3 tacos" reduced to "two." Salad bowls getting smaller with fewer chicken strips than before etc... And this is just an example of the menu. Is this UNETHICAL? Must add the food is good. Servers not to be faulted all!!!!. read more

Dood is boring and high priced. Need varied items to chose from on the menu. The only thing I would come back for is the fries. read more

Happy to get some traditional American food every now and again. Great for pick up on a night when you don't want to cook as well. Kids are happy to eat the burgers. Fries are bit too salty but can't complain cause it's easy food for far out here. read more

The service was excellent. Their burgers are great. Their fish and chips a year ago were excellent. I was there last week and the fish and chips were horrible. Not a one off. They switched from real fish to some formed chopped fish that looks like a Gorton's frozen fish patty. It was garbage. read more

Made Trip to Plymouth and landed here for lunch. I had a cheeseburger w/fries. It was delicious, the meat was a freshly made patty and cooked to perfection. Burger was topped with fresh produce a plus. The young waitress was on key and very attentive (receipt said Alana), she took care of all our dining needs. Place was clean and roomy. read more

we're having dinner and the owner (i'm assuming) gets served with legal papers and starts verbally attacking the process server. poor woman tells her that it's her job and you ARE being sued! The owner woman is frightening and I would suggest taking your business elsewhere as the vibes are just horrible. It looks like they will be closing, very soon, anyway. read more

We tried this place for dinner for the first time last night since we've moved here. It was incredibly fast, the service was fantastic, and the prices were great. The food was good, but nothing crazy - decent for the price and service. Definitely a place I'd recommend to be quick and reliable when you don't feel like cooking, just not bucket list worthy. read more

I'm not from the area but I come here every time I visit and I absolutely love this place. I'm in town visiting family, so where do I go when I'm in my cheerful mood? The Backyard. Where do I go when I need a pick me up? The Backyard. Service is impeccable and this place has some of my favorite ciders (2 Towns cider from Corvallis, Go Beavs!). Smiling right now thinking about the next time I will get to kick back with my cider at The Backyard. read more

The service is great and food is plentiful. I had the duo- tri tip and pulled pork. The pulled pork was really dry. The last time I came the chicken was dry as well. Everything else is great. read more

We stopped by The Backyard for lunch after going off-roading on LaTrobe and Michigan Bar. The places is pretty spacious where you have an area for the bar and some tables to sit, then you have a dining area where you can sit and dine, and then there is the outdoor dining area with a few tables and a human size connect 4 game. My kids enjoyed the connect 4. Ordered the tri-tip sandwich with fries and it was pretty good. The trip tip but chopped into pieces so my husband thought I had ordered pull pork lol. So don't expect the tri-tip to be in strips. Hubs ordered a hamburger but I forgot which one. Either it was super delicious or he was hungry because I think I only saw the burger for maybe 5 minutes. The kids shared an order of chicken quesadilla and tater tots. My kids didn't care of the quesadilla but maybe they just were not that hungry. The did eat the tater tots and our friend. My friend's son ended up ordering a baby back rib and the portion size was good. Overall a nice place to stop by for lunch if you are heading home from the hills back to Sacramento off Jackson Hwy. read more

A suggestion from friends landed us at The Backyard after a day of range time. It was starting to get warm so we asked to be seated inside. The Backyard has great accommodations for larger groups. It ambiance is pretty laid back and I can see locals choosing this as their designated watering hole. Our server was very pleasant as she took our orders. I ordered their Brisket plate with onion rings and salad. Our food came promptly which was convenient. I took a bite off their onion rings and is was a little too hard, like overcooked hard rings. I was taken a bit because its hard to make onion rings bad. I went ahead to their brisket. Its was tender, but quite dry imho. Also, all portions I had was super lean without any hint of fat. I asked for a more spicier BBQ sauce and they only have what was served. They suggested Siracha tough but its not the same so I declined. Overall, the staff and the place is pretty cool, its just food that needs a little more better execution. read more

Place was great until a waitress or something idk what she was, told another coworker to "get your kid bruh" to my bf that was with my 2 year old daughter while I was taking my 6 year old daughter to the bathroom. Clearly some trash employee that needs someone to put her in her place. read more

I personally love the 'Buffalo Chicken Salad' and the 'Backyard Burger'. The service is great. I specifically like sitting at the bar and hanging out with the bartenders. I like that the restaurant has an outdoor seating area, a separate dining room, a bar, and high tops. Overall an amazing place and I highly recommend. read more

I work across the street from this place and of course I had to give it a try! I ordered the West Coast philly, and the sandwich was so good! It left me speechless and I ate it in less then 5 mins. That's how good it was! The ferries were also really good too, crispy is my favorite. The chocolate temptation cake... tasteless... It did not taste good at all. Very bland and they said it was homemade... didn't taste like it was homemade at all.. the sandwich saved them from a 2 star review. read more
