Burgers were delicious. Staff very nice. Love the atmosphere. Very chill and relaxing. Will definitely come again.

Great outdoor spot to enjoy a tasty meal or chill for a date night or meeting up with friends. Laid back vibe with outdoor games. Heat lamps to keep you warm. Breakfast lunch dinner or snacking. read more

The Backyard is a really great local beer / wine garden that is great to go to with family and friends. It a family geared spot with lots of games and tables to sit and chat. It's nice to see places like this pop up in Richmond, we need more of them. The food is also fire. I've gone back for the burger and fries a couple times. Next will for sure be the bratwurst. read more

Really disappointed with this place. This happened earlier today Walked in and was not greeted but the gentleman behind us was. Fine, whatever. Then we orderd avocado toast, a Tartine and a lrg fries. It took incredibly long to make our order. But other people who got there after us received their order at the same time as we did. Ok, two strikes. Then none of the tables were cleaned off but we sat down anyway. When they gave another table their fries, they had a full bag. But when we got our fries they were halfway filled. Okaaaay three strikes. So an employee came and cleaned off a table right next to us that had people sitting at it and then completely bypassed us and cleaned empty dirty tables on the other side of us, so we had to say something at this point because with the not being greeted as customers and having not cleaned our table but all the ones around us and not getting the correct serving of fries we were not happy. So after my boyfriend went up to the cashier address our concerns, 15 minutes passed and one of the cooks came out and in a very rude and passive aggressive way sprayed our table down WHILE OUR FOOD AND OPEN DRINKS WERE SITTING RIGHT THERE! She said "oh I heard you needed your table sprayed down. I replied well you just sprayed our food and drinks with cleaner and we don't want these now., what's your problem?" And she just repeated "oh well, I just heard you needed your table cleaned while smirking and walked away." We were so disgusted by the service and the behavior and the fact that she SPRAYED OUR NOT-FINISHED MEAL WITH TABLE CLEANER... we didn't even finish our food, cleaned up after ourselves and left. It really is a shame because I live in the area and I really wanted to like this place and give it a shot. I've never had a staff treat me and my partner with such disrespect and callousness. I will never come here again and I will tell anyone who asks to never come here. You really should treat your patrons equally and with respect or you won't have much luck in the Bay Area. There are so many options that don't treat first time customers with derision and out right rudeness. Ridiculous. read more

Need I say more. I went on a weekday around 2 and was only one there. The Peets coffee lived up to its name. I'm trying to add my food pictures so you can see for yourself. I had to return my burger because it was RARE I couldn't eat it. The breakfast sandwich cheese all stuck to the paper NOtT appetizing looking at ALL. The fries were like Burger Kings style and taste. For a food truck eatery nothing was "homemade " all pre-package food. I willing I change my rating from 1 star to two stars because of the coffee the very young help serving and I was given another hamburger. But for me first impression must be on point. From the location the gravel parking lot to the two locations one truck to order and pay and coffee etc the the other one person food pickup food truck. No atmosphere or outdoor feeling even having heat lamps. Sorry it won't work for me but do try it for yourself. read more

See all

We enjoyed the food and the vibe was cool, but it was difficult to navigate my mom's wheelchair in the gravel. I would order food to go from here, but it's not really wheelchair accessible as they claim. read more

Awesome!! Great vibes and really loved it. Super friendly owners and live music which is always awesome. read more

Exactly what the neighborhood needed! A backyard! Really nice, inviting space to enjoy a bite and some sun. Games for kids and a lot of open space. The food is a 4 out of 5, but I know they are still dialing in and coming up with new experiences for all. I look forward to frequenting and watching this place grow in the neighborhood :) read more

love it! new spot, fun and great atmosphere. Laid back, great food ++ gf and vegan options

The Best Burgers, the Best Cheese Steak, Acme Bread, that Emmett slices thick. Plus beer and wine. Great ambience, bring the kids, plenty of games, and movie nights. Stage for live music. read more

Great spot. Good burgers, BLT, and fries. Great drink selection...had multiple cider options. Lots of activities for kids. Staff was welcoming. Prices comparable to other places in the area. Lots of parking in the back. Really enjoyed it. read more

Excellent food and quick and efficient service. i would go back to try different offerrings.

Love the relaxed outdoor vibe, kid friendly, pet friendly, parking is easy, food is great too.

This is the kind of place we need more of. It's new, so it has some growing opportunities with it, but the outdoor space is fantastic. The operation seems to be run by a family, which I love, and the space itself is excellent for kids or hanging out on a nice sunny day. For the food, my wife had the breakfast box, I had a grilled cheese. The breakfast box was enjoyed sans the hashbrown, which didn't need additional salt on it, but otherwise was solid. The grilled cheese was excellent, strongly recommend adding grilled onions. Our friend had the margarite (sp?) tartine, and that was freaking dy-no-mite. Will definitely be getting that next time we stop by, which will be soon, cause places like this one need to exist. read more

Came here by luck. Good luck! A variety of cool nooks and crannies to hang out in for a little while. Live music. My sandwich was great. The toasted bread was the star. I had a vegan burger, which was quite tasty with all the toppings. Had fries with my sandwich. Fries could do with a little more seasoning. They were just standard / bland. Would be nice to have another condiment such as an aioli. Ketchup is boring to me. (If the chef wants to try good fries with prize worthy aioli at another Bay Area burger joint, try Scolari's in Alameda. I don't know what they do to their fries, but they are Michelin Three Star.) As much as I enjoyed the vegan burger it would be nice to have another vegetarian option. Hoping that you add a grilled cheese sandwich to the menu. With that great toasted bread, melty cheese with a few sliced jalapeno's tucked in, and an adult beverage, I would be in total heaven. The ambiance was like being by a pool in a tropical place. Lots of lush plants. Very nice. Oh yeah, it's doggy friendly, also. I didn't check if a doggy burger was on the menu. We really like it here, so excuse my whining. I am just whiny and always full of advice for other people. Can't wait to come back and try the mimosas. read more

Sweet little oasis in Richmond. Normally on the drive back from the outdoors in Northbay, we just zoom on past Richmond on the freeway. We were starving this time and saw this place. It's an odd little patch of land that has been turned into this nice outdoor space. Good food, if a bit pricy, excellent beer selection, fun little games for everyone to pass the time. Would return. read more

Love this spot. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches on an Acme croissant. I'm glad to have this spot to hang out at in Richmond. Very friendly staff, tasty food, and good atmosphere. Every time I have gone I've noticed some improvements to the space and the menu - glad they are improving and iterating. read more

Great for a sunny day. Dog friendly, live music, good food. Super chill place to stop in. Only downfall is the bathroom

A lovely addition to the eateries in the community. You want a family friendly spot to hang and eat? This is the place. You got a dog? Bring them too! They have heaters to keep you warm during the chilly days and tall palm trees and shades to keep you cool during the hot afternoons. The burgers are cooked to perfection and the hospitality is on point! If you have a large group of folks, this is a great place to have a lil outing. They even have fun games for all to enjoy! read more

Had the philly cheesesteak. Great food, good live music at a relaxed venue. Look forward to stopping by again

This place is such a gem! It really feels like someone's backyard, with the games and heat lamps for cold weather. The food is excellent. I had the burger and fries. I find a good fry tells you pretty much what you need to know about a place and these were GOOD! Crisp on the outside, softy on the inside and nice and salty. The portions were generous as well. My husband had the grill cheese. It was even better than the burger. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the food. Perhaps the best thing about the place, is you can just relax and hang out. It's big enough you don't feel on top of other people and you can sit and enjoy, or play a game. read more

The Backyard is a great place to relax with friends, family and pets. I love how they have a doggo greeting you at the front before you order their delicious food. My compliments to the chef and their friendly staff. I can't wait to come again! read more

They are awesome, great chill out place and the food is good. They have live music at times, nice mixers

I generally do not review restaurants but thought it might be helpful for cyclists to know that this place is a great stop, especially for anyone going to or coming from the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge. We stopped here yesterday for lunch mid-way through a ride. It was easy to access with the bikes (right along the path on Cutting Blvd) and there was plenty of room for the bikes at our table while not getting in the way of other guests. The fenced-in seating area (outside only) is spacious -- there are many different options (tables, Adirondack chairs, bar-type seating with stools, etc.) and a lot of it is shaded. The BLT was the best one I've had in a very long while (perfectly toasted Acme bread, lots of fresh lettuce and ripe tomatoes). Husband also gave his Backyard burger a thumbs up. Speaking to the owner, who was super-friendly both when I was ordering and when she came out to clear tables, it sounds like there may be beer sometime soon. There were two big dispensers of water that sit directly beneath the faucets (so you don't feel bad that someone will need to manually fill the dispensers after you re-fill your bottle). As other reviews have mentioned, there is a porta potty and a handwashing station -- nothing fancy but they get the job done. It was a little windy/chilly riding along the shoreline yesterday, but it was nice and warm/calm at The Backyard. And I made a new friend -- Uela, she's FOUR! read more

The Backyard - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, California

Food is ok. Nothing you can't get at another food truck or any other place serving toast and burgers. The service is what really makes this spot "unique". Halfway through eating our meal a person came out of the pick up window to clean our table because " I heard you needed it cleaned". Didn't ask if we minded and didn't ask for us to pick up our food so they could spray and clean. The person proceeded to spray the table and started wiping with the towel. Grabbed my plastic cup by the rim with their dirty gloved hands. I asked for the cup to be taken since i was not going to drink from it. The person took the cup after wiping the table that was still dirty when they walked away. Cleaning the table was not their intention. This place is unsanitary with rude and unapologetic staff. One of the worst food experiences I have had in a long time. There are better options to eat in Pt. Richmond where you will feel welcome and treated with respect. Thank you for the response Emmet, although it didn't address the concerns above. Not having a pic on my Yelp profile does not mean my comments or any concerns are not as important or valid as the next person with a profile pic. Again thank you for assuming and not dealing with the actual problem or addressing the issue with a customer. You had the opportunity to do so while we were at your establishment and you chose not to. This post was another opportunity to do so but instead you reviewed my profile to put the blame on me on why you are receiving a bad review. read more

Love the Backyard! Food is great, staff is super friendly. So much to entertain any family member. Live music today was fantastic and made a good afternoon truly great. Can't wait to come back again and will be more than thrilled to make the 15 minute drive from Berkeley to come to Richmond. So much better than any similar place in Berkeley. Exactly what the East Bay needs. read more

It's great, maybe, for young families. The Reggae event was a low volume disc jockey when we thought it might be live.

What a great addition to our little neighborhood in Point Richmond! Hidden in this low-key backyard destination is some absolutely terrific food. We are big fans of their burgers and the BLT, I love them so much that i have not ventured into trying their other menu offerings, but I will! All the folks who work there are super friendly. Love having such comfort food right here in the Point! Thank you, Backyard for coming to our town! read more

Can confirm that their breakfast is incredible. This is a great place for parents to actually be able to have a meal while the kids run around. Would love beer and wine eventually but still super stoked on this place! read more

This place is awesome. I had the Cheesesteak, well half of it. It's huge and really delicious. My husband had the breakfast box and said everything was great. I can't wait to meet my family there for brunch very soon. read more

The food was delicious and service was good, it's outdoors and a cute family-friendly set up. However, the owner took our order and he had the dirtiest fingernails I've ever seen. I'm wondering what the hand-washing facilities are. Is it possible for the people cooking in the little food truck to wash their hands? There's a porta potty in the parking lot and I don't know if there's a place to wash hands in it. If that is the on;y place for hand-washing, I don't think it's enough. Cooks need to wash hands frequently and can't schlep across the parking lot each time they need to wash. read more

The Philly was fantastic. The people who work here are super friendly. Will definitely be back with a group!

I've been in Richmond all my life and this is the first time we've had a restaurant like this! Food is amazing , had their Santa Fe burger , breakfast box , grilled cheese. Yupp I've been coming back to back because it's that good. Staff are so friendly and caring ! Atmosphere is unique !! My son loves the games that are located throughout the location , can't wait for live music, movie night and wineeee ! read more

Don't listen to the Karens who rate this place 1 star go back to the pub then. This place is delicious and keep that negative energy outta here. Really delicious! Beautiful open space! Such a refreshment to Richmond because our community needs some improvement, and this adds to change in our community. Very welcoming and clean place! Good for you The Backyard, keep doing what you do, because remember if you have haters in your life, you're doing something right. May you have a prosperous 2023, and I'll be a regular customer. read more

Very good food. Friendly staff. Very relaxing place. It's great to have a new restaurant in Point Richmond.

The food was great! Atmosphere, games, friendly staff. Loved the vibe!!! Support this new business, please!

I LOVE the backyard! It has such a family friendly vibe and great amenities like heat lamps, games and even a stage for live entertainment. This is definitely a business that the area needed considering it's affordability, accessibility and the high quality of their delicious food. Can't wait to come back read more

Check this out. Outside dining with games. Pingpong anyone? Food good. Children and dogs enjoying the casual vibe.
